Pink And Beastly (Ronks)

Chapter 20 ~ The Battle of Hogwarts

Three week old Teddy was as lively as any baby. Remus and Tonks found out that he was a Metamorphmagus. Few days after he was born. Remus was still worried that he was a werewolf, but his son seemed too lively for that time of the cycle. The couple had also made Harry Godfather. Harry had accepted happily, all bad feelings forgotten.

Tonks lay with Teddy on her bed. The lights in the room were dim, and Tonks was making lights jump out the end of her wand. Teddy was trying to catch the lights, hair turning various colours, laughing happily. A few minutes later, Tonks put her wand away and picked up Teddy. He snuggled up to her as she took him downstairs. Remus was reading quietly in the living room and looked up when she entered.

"Could you take him, I really need the toilet and I don't want to leave him unattended." Tonks said. Remus nodded before walking up to her.

"Yeah sure. I need to spend time with the little man." Remus said happily. He took the smiling baby boy and held him close. "How are you feeling?"

"Fine. Still the occasional sharp pain but that's it." Tonks replied before heading to the bathroom.

Remus lay down with Teddy sitting on his chest. Teddy noticed Remus's necklace and started to pull it, intrigued by the shining moon that showed through his shirt.

"No Teddy, leave it." Remus said softly, taking the charms out of his sons tiny hands. Teddy looked fairly disappointed when he lost his new toy, but cheered up when Remus gave him a stuffed wolf toy. Teddy sucked on it's ear as he lay by his dad's side, a protective arm around him. Remus smiled happily as he settled into the sofa. He didn't notice Tonks peer round the doorway as he closed his eyes sleepily. Tonks smiled before quietly slipping out. She glided up the stairs silently to their room. Searching the cabinets, she found their camera. Turning it on, she headed back downstairs to where the two were resting soundlessly. Without making a sound, Tonks entered the living room and took a few photo's of Remus with his eyes closed and Teddy cuddling up to him, a small wolf toy in his hand. At the sound of the click, Remus's eyes slowly opened again.

"Mh, what?" he yawned, looking around.

"You two looked so peaceful, I had to get a photo." Tonks said, handing the camera to Remus. Remus laughed slightly when he saw it before looking down at the small person sleeping next to him.

"We should take him upstairs to bed." Remus said quietly. "Somewhere comfier."

Tonks nodded. Remus slowly stood up, scooping Teddy in his arms. Teddy cuddled closer to his dad's chest, fast asleep and snoring softly. Remus couldn't help but smile at how peaceful he looked. Teddy's hair started to change from chocolate brown to sea green to hot pink.

"Is it me, or does Teddy prefer his hair to be a turquoise colour." Tonks said quietly, following Remus up the stairs.

"I've noticed that as well. He suits it." Remus said as he opened the door. He was just about to out Teddy down when he stretched and yawned loudly. He looked around and saw the glowing moon under his dad's shirt again. He dropped his toy wolf as he reached for it, but Remus stopped his little hand.

"I don't think he's going to sleep again." Remus sighed. "What do we do now? He needs to sleep."

"Give him here. We could play with him till he tires himself out." Tonks said, holding her arms out.

Remus slowly and carefully handed her Teddy. Teddy giggled in his mums arms, his bright blue eyes staring up at him. Tonks rested Teddy on her hip at she retrieved the dropped wolf toy. Teddy reached out for it happily. Tonks set him down on the comfy bed and sat beside, tickling his feet. Remus joined her, dimming the lights and making light patterns in the air. Teddy's laugh was contagious, making both his parents chuckle at his reactions.
