Harry Potter Next Generation Headcanons

A/N with Headcanon

As you should be aware, for British people (Comment what country you are from!), the holidays are rapidly approaching and I am annoyingly going abroad.

This means I will not be able to update as regularly but I will try. I know Authors Notes suck, I hate them, we all hate them, and I try to avoid them, but if I suddenly vanish of the side of the earth for a few weeks, I probably just don't have access to wifi/data/service. Yeah. I'll try and post Headcanons but no promises.

(Completely random note: Doctor Who: A female Doctor....finally!)

Please, please, please, comment a suggestion for a headcanon, I don't care what, just please please comment. Multiple brains are better than one, and I will shout you out on that chapter.

Suggestions:

It was Easter when Teddy Lupin found it. He'd elected to stay at Hogwarts because he wanted some peace. He was older, now, and the Potters deserved at least one Easter without him barging in on all of there celebrations. He'd have stayed for Christmas, but Ginny and Molly had insisted that he come home- "Teddy, you can't not celebrate Christmas!" "Ginny, I'll be fine." "I won't let you, and neither will Mum...Oi! Mum! Get over here!" "What is it, Gin?" "Teddy says he can stay at Hogwarts for Christmas." *Insert look of absolute horror onto Molly's face* "What? A family member, not here? Not celebrating!"- and he had given up arguing against Molly a long time ago. They had compromised with Easter.

He was just walking along the path by the forest, when he saw a glowing in the forest. It was not that visible, but it stood out to Teddy like a sore thumb.

Teddy followed the light and it was surrounding...a stone....a stone?

There was nothing particularly interesting about it, it was just...normal. Normal enough that it wasn't normal. It was trying too hard. Teddy picked it up and tossed it around in his hand, then looked at it closely, gripping it tight, looking at it so intently that he didn't realise he two figures that had appeared in front of him.

"Teddy." A pink-haired woman whispered softly, in a kind of sing-song voice. Teddy spun to face the voices.

It was his parents. His parents. Remus and Nymphadora Lupin.

"Mum? Dad?" Teddy whispered.

"Hey Teddy."

Teddy sat down on the floor and started to cry, gut-wrenching sobs that echoed throughout the forest.

"Teddy-"

"No, no, stop." The blue-haired boy sobbed.

"Teddy-"

"Please, just stop."

Teddy's sobs continued on for another two minutes, when he composed himself.

"You left me...an orphan."

"For a good cause, Teddy. And you had-have a loving family. Harry and Ginny will look after you."

"It's not the same. It'll never be the same."

"Teddy, we cannot look after you. We are dead." Remus reminded him.

"How...how is it?"

"Dying? Quicker and easier than falling asleep, in the words of a good friend of mine. The Afterlife is great, we are fine, Teddy. You need to carry on living your life, marry Victoire, have children. We'll welcome you when your time comes." Remus smiled at his son.

"You can't...don't...you can't leave." Teddy's voice cracked.

"Teddy, you have to let us go. It's not fair, we don't belong here, we're other now, we aren't mortal. We'll see you on the other side, Teddy Lupin." And they were gone. Teddy dropped the stone, and burst into tears again.

When he went back to the castle, he flooed to the Burrow, to see the one person who could help him.

"Vic." His voice croaked from the crying.

"Teddy!"

"Can I...can I talk to you?"

"Sure."

They strolled off, hand-in-hand, and rested on a log in the field that they had claimed as theirs as kids. It was a little damp, but fine.

"Vic, I saw them, I saw my parents."

"Ted...are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm positive, I know I saw them. A stone..."

"The Resurrection Stone! Part of the Deathly Hallows, Harry had all three at one point, remember?" Vic grinned.

"Yeah...I left it there." Teddy told her sheepishly.

"Good. Then the next person to find it will have the same experience."

"I hope they don't cry, though. It's pretty daunting meeting your parents for the first time. There is an Afterlife though....that's good. I'll see them again, one day."
