WARNING: SPOILERS!!! ~A Watty's 2019 Submission!

Saved for Diana Potter

"Thank you, Professor." Diana said as she left McGonagall's office. "I'll see to it immediately." Then she walked back towards her classroom, seeing Teddy Lupin walking by.

"Hi, Teddy!" She called. He barely looked up, and she sighed. She had just been talking to McGonagall about poor Teddy. He had been down lately, and she couldn't understand why. She tried speaking to him multiple times, but he remained closed off.

"Told them my thoughts on werewolves again, I did..." She stopped at the word "werewolves" coming from Professor Everence, the Potions professor. He was talking to Professor Sprout.

"Well, what did you say to them?"

"I told them, "the only good werewolf is a dead werewolf"." He told her. "Nasty, bloodthirsty beasts."

"Excuse me." Diana caught up with them, and Professor Sprout thought it best to make herself scarce now that the Potter Girl with the Evans Temper was involved. "But, why did you bring up the subject of werewolves in your class? I do believe that is a part of my curriculum."

"Overheard a student talking about them." Everence told her. "Talking about how he wondered if any lived in the Forbidden Forest and how he'd like to meet one. I told him that if he came across a werewolf and I knew it, I'd skin the creature myself."

"Oh, really?" Diana said crisply. "And who was this student?"

"Teddy Lupin. Thought the boy was smarter than that."

"Well, I hope that you are ashamed of yourself." She told him, and his eyes went wide. "Talking to a boy like him about werewolves like that!"

"What's that supposed to mean, eh?" Everence demanded. "I suppose you recall Fenrir Greyback, the murdering werewolf. Turned half of the werewolf community by the time they were five!"

"Including Teddy's father, who was one the kindest men I ever knew." She told him sharply. "Remus Lupin?"

"A war hero?" Everence asked. "Impossible."

"Oh, very possible!" She said. "And to say something like to a boy who's father and mother died barely after he was born just because he was a werewolf... How dare you call yourself a teacher!" Then she stopped away in a huff, determined to prove to Teddy that his father wasn't a bloodthirsty beast.

SKIP!!

"Blimey! Another Lupin!" Diana turned her head when she heard the name, and turned to see two boys digging into some Hogsmeade candy. "I've already got so many!" She softly walked up behind him, and got a glimpse of his card. On it, was both Remus and Tonks, smiling and waving, Tonks holding who was no doubt Teddy as a baby.

"Excuse me." She made the boys jump. "Would you mind terribly if I had that Chocolate Frog and the card? I used to collect them myself, and I never got a Lupin." The boy holding the card and the uneaten Frog nodded.

"Of course, Professor!" Diana took the Frog and the card with a smile, and took it back to her classroom, where she carefully put the chocolate and the card back in the package and resealed it, just as a knock came at her door.

"Come in!" She called, spinning around to find Teddy walking in.

"Aunt Diana," he said, knowing he was only allowed to call her that when it was just the two of them. "I think I left my Charms book in here. Have you seen it?"

"Ah, so that was your book." She told him, going around her desk and pulling it out from the drawer she had placed it in. "I wondered who it belonged to." Teddy nodded, then noticed the Chocolate Frog on her desk.

"I didn't know you liked these, Aunt Diana." He said, picking it up. She shrugged.

"Yeah, its good. Would you like to have it? I've probably had too many, which is saying something. Your father, my goodness. I used to call him my Grandmoony. He was like a little old lady." Teddy just stared, his usually turquoise hair plain brown. "Wore cable knit sweaters, always had sweets on hand, ready to help everyone." Teddy finally gave a small smile. "Why don't you see what card you got there, Ted?" Teddy opened his frog, and smiled a bigger smile when he saw his parents, waving at him from the card.

"Its my mum and dad." He told her, before turning the card over to read about how they had served in the Battle of Hogwarts. Not once was it mentioned, to his utter delight, that his father was any sort of a savage like Professor Everence had said.

"Your father was a great man, Teddy." He looked to see Din holding his Charms book, smiling at him. "You're a lot like him. Very bookwormish, kind, and have a small taste for mischief. And it doesn't matter what anyone has to say."

"Because even if I never met him, I knew my dad was a man worthy to look up to." Teddy finished for her.
