Harry Potter One Shots

Memories and Connections (Teddy Lupin)

Well done to all of those that guessed! This one is about Teddy Lupin! Sorry for the gap in updates, I've been quite busy with school, so updates from this point will probably be slow. Anyway, without further ado, here is the one shot. (It links to my Tonks one shot I did earlier so Teddy will have a new surname: Roberts) Thanks for reading and have a good day!

I made my way to the graveyard on the edge of the Hogwarts grounds, I always came to visit my aunt when I could. Talking to her helped to clear me head, she was also my role model. Aunt Lavender may be dead but she was a true Gryffindor in my opinion. I placed the flowers at the head of the grave I was used to visiting and wrapped my scarlet and gold scarf tighter around my neck and sat down.

"Hey Aunt Lavender. It's me again. Mum told me to say Hi and that she misses you. Grandma and Grandad too. Fifth year is going alright, but it's only been a week. There's been a lot of work but I've kept on top of it, don't worry though, I still keep up my appearance and fashion. Mum says you'd like that, you'd always liked fashion. Well, I'm sorry that I've only been able to talk for a couple minutes, but I'll see you soon. Rest well Auntie."

I stood up and brushed myself off before heading back up to Hogwarts. I stuffed my scarf back into my bag before readjusting my hair and heading to the library.

I went back to visit Aunt Lavender every week,  each week I spent time telling her what I had worn that week, how my studies were going and who my suitors for that week were, and talk about my studies tended to be kept brief. It was nearing Christmas when I first saw him at the graveyard.

Teddy Roberts was always easy to spot.

His bright turquoise hair and towering height allowed for this, the lack of the first was probably why I didn't recognise him. He sat a few graves away; talking. The same way I do to Aunt Lavender, just talking. He must have turned up when I was talking without me noticing, I turned my head slightly in his direction and as I did so, I managed to hear some of his conversation.

"I hope I've been making you both proud. I miss you mums, I miss you both so much..."

I stopped listening. It seemed private. I got up and walked back up to the castle having finished talking to Aunt Lavender a few seconds ago. I didn't get far past the gates when I heard my name being called.

"Brown!"

I turned around.

"Can I help you Roberts?" I asked.

"You left this." He said holding up my scarf.

"Thank you." I said taking it.

"Why did you leave in such a hurry?"

"I wanted to give you privacy." I explained as we began to walk back up to school.
"They're your parents after all."

"Yeah, it helps to clear my head sometimes, just telling them things." He explained.

"I get it. That's what I do. Talking to Auntie helps, it gives me an escape from the reputation I have up there." I explained.

"You're Aunt is Lavender Brown, right?" He asked.

I nodded. "Greyback." I said.

"Dolohov and Bellatrix." He said. "Sometimes I hate that they died, my mum, Niamh Rogers, was an Healer so she went to help and my other mum, Tonks, was an Auror but she was the one that gave birth to me. So Roberts told her to stay with me and grandma but she didn't. They both needed to make sure the other was OK, and they both died. They both left me. I understand what they died for, but I just wish that sometimes they were both with me." He confessed.
