It was half past four in the morning on the second of May 1999. Teddy Lupin remembered that vividly. He was two years old and so the excitement of being awoken at such an hour was something that had stuck in his mind throughout his entire childhood.

"Come on, Fleur's having the baby!" Ginny swooped down on his bed and wrapped him up in a thick green coat that she knew he hated.

"Fluuuur!" Teddy had shouted, trying to tug on his zip. The coat had so much padding that his little arms couldn't even reach, and so he only succeeded in flipping over, his hair turning a violent shade of red.

Ginny had chuckled, and then picked Teddy up, carrying him over to Harry who had told him to hold on tight before stepping into the fire with a handful of green powder.

After tha,t Teddy only vaguely remembered a lot of crowded white rooms. He didn't realise until later that this was his first ever trip to Saint Mungo's...nor did he know that he was about to meet the most important person in his whole life.

Gripping Harry's hand, Teddy was lead into a smaller room at the end of another corridor where a whole bunch of faces he recognised were gathered together. They all cooed his name and smiled. He loved attention, but he rubbed his eyes sleepily. He recognised 'Fluuuur' in the middle, in a bed covered with white sheets. Bill was sat on her left hand side with his arm wrapped around her waist, and he spotted Ron and 'Herm' comforting a teary eyed Mrs Weasley. He had no idea that the crinkly little bundle they were all passing around was a actual person.

Although, what Teddy Lupin did remember, was looking down into the white sheets and seeing something that made his heart stop. Teddy remembered feeling his hair turn the same silky blonde as that on little thing that was wrapped up, and he remembered holding her hand, and then turning to his god father and saying confidently. "I'll look after her. She's only small."

He also remembered everybody in the room looking at one another and smiling, for a reason Teddy never understood. They'd assumed he'd grow bored of her after a couple of days...but no. Teddy Lupin stuck to his promise; he made sure that little girl was never alone. If she ever needed him, he was there without the slightest hesitation.

Why? Because she was Victoire, and over the coming years they would laugh, fight and cry together but still remain the best of friends. Teddy knew from that day on that nothing would come between himself and that little bundle with silvery blue eyes and silky blonde hair...no matter whom or what tried.
