Teddy Lupin

Mysterious Child

-1993 (Great Hall)

It was a pleasant morning. All the students were busy doing their own stuff. Some were talking, some were doing their homework, some were busy eating.. Harry Potter on the other hand was getting annoyed. His two best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger were fighting continuously since yesterday. Ron was accusing that Hermione's cat eat his only pet scabbers, whereas Hermione was arguing that it was cats nature to eat a rat. Headmaster apparently was telling Professor MaGonagall his joke, Professor Lupin
looked healthier and most loved Professor Snape was in his usual mean self.

"Stop it! Both of you!" Harry said loudly gathering a piece of Neville's attention.

"It's not my fault." Ron and Hermione fired back in union.

Suddenly a huge black hole appeared in the middle of the hall,bringing a boy no longer than five or six years. His hair was in dark blue shade with a slight cut on his cheek. He was unconscious, laying on the floor,his hair turning into light grey color. Headmaster along with all the teachers ran towards him. Black hole disappeared almost immediately.

Now students were screaming. Slytherin table had the loudest voice of all.

"Silence!" Headmasters voice echoed in the hall. Students stopped screaming. All were looking frightened. They just stood there, looking in the boy's direction. He was still unconscious.

Madame pomfrey checked the boy's pulse. " I-I can't tell Albus."She said after examining him properly.

"Well, who the hell is he?!" Remus Lupin said, his hands on his hair.

"It is impossible to apparate in the Hogwarts, I read that in Hogwarts a history." Hermione whispered. Now students were talking,wondering, scared.

"What should we do Albus? How did he apparate here? And with a black hole like that!" Professor MaGonagall nearly yelled gathering more attention.

"I think I might know answers to your questions. See," Dumbledore said taking a small green hourglass from the boy's pocket. His face turning into serious expression.

"Oh my.. Is that what I think it is?!" Hermione Granger yelled. Her face shocked. Harry and Ron looking at her with a confused expression.

"No need to yell Miss Granger! We are able-" Professor Snape started but was cut off by Headmaster himself.

"Yes. And the boy is probably from the future." He said looking at the boy with pity.

"How can you tell that professor?" Percy Weasley asked coming towards the center of the table.

"Well,Mr. Weasley... See this type of Time Turner doesn't exist in this time and past for that matter, if it would've been, I would have known about it." Dumbledore said.

Harry with his little trio were standing beside Professor Lupin, thinking. Ron was blaming Sirius Black whereas Hermione was telling him even Sirius was not capable of doing such a thing. Slytherin table as always were making nasty comments.

"Do you think he is a mudblood?"Crabbe asked Draco, who was standing there next to Professor Snape. Wondering and of course frightened. Unfortunately for him,he was quite loud and Professor Snape along with the trio and teachers gave him a death glare.

"Are you blind?" Draco whispered, "he is a metamorphmagus. Always wanted to meet one."

"What are we going to do? We can't just stand here doing nothing..besides students are afraid already. Perhaps Ministry woul-" Professor MaGonagall started.

"No..no not minstry. As for this situation I have a solution." Dumbledore said happily.

"Solution Professor?" Lupin asked confused.

"Oh yes... Two solutions actually. But first I would really need the Marauders map, don't you think Mr. Potter."

Harry looked shocked. How does that man knows everything?! Lupin looked at Dumbledore, confused. Now
Students had only one thing in their minds and mouths. What is Marauders map?!

"Ye- Yes Professor I'll go b- bring it." Harry said ran towards his dormitory along with Ron. Within five minutes they came running , a piece of parchment in Harry's hand. Draco Malfoy looked at It carefully as Harry muttered something and handed it over to Professor Dumbledore.

"Just wait till my father hears about it." Draco said and Hermione rolled her eyes.

Dumbledore took the map and peeked.
"Oh well!" He said and looked towards Professor Lupin, "it says Mr. Lupin."

"Oh my.." Professor MaGonagall said. " clearly from the future. "
Lupin's face was turning pale. He stood there with an unreadable face.

"It- It's not possible Professor you know that." He said finally. Students were started talking.

"Nothing is impossible in the future." Dumbledore said with his wise voice tone. Snape just glared at the boy.

"So you think that he is his son?" Draco asked Dumbledore.

"Yes Mr. Malfoy. Now for my second solution I think everyone is going to enjoy it." Dumbledore said and pointed his wand towards Junior lupin.
