1. Like his mother, Teddy Lupin is outgoing and friendly. Like his father, he is loyal and trustworthy. His grandmother says that he has his mother's smile and his father's trick of tilting his head when he listens to someone.

2. His first day of Hogwarts, Teddy is terrified he'll be sorted into Slytherin, even though his Uncle Harry claims that it wouldn't mean anything bad, despite the fact that Teddy's parents were killed by Slytherins. When Teddy is sorted into Gryffindor, everyone is proud and excited. He does his hair red and gold for the occasion.

3. He will always regret the day over Christmas break fourth year, when an argument with Uncle Harry went bad and he yelled that Harry wasn't his father – wasn't even family – and that he didn't need his godfather, because he did, and Harry was the closest thing Teddy had to a father, and there were worse people in the world to idolize.

4. Teddy's hair and eyes, when left to themselves, are brown, like his father's. He knows this because when he was six he caught the chicken pox from Victoire Weasley and was too miserable to change his looks.

5. When Aunt Ginny gets pregnant for the first time, Teddy feels slightly jealous of the unborn Potter, who he's certain will usurp the affections of his godfather and his favorite aunt. When James is actually born, Teddy gets to hold him right after Uncle Harry, and decides that this newest Potter might not be so bad after all.

6. Teddy puts off asking Victoire to go out with him for so long that she gives up on him and starts dating Sean Bolbec in her sixth year. It is only when Teddy realizes that he suddenly hates Sean, that he inexplicably wants to rip the boy's arms off every time they go around Victoire's waist, that he trusts that he is actually in love with Victoire and not simply with the oldest Weasley.

7. It was Teddy who found the Marauder's Map in Harry Potter's desk drawer. He didn't take it, but left it for someone else to find (Uncle Harry would never know that it was Teddy who suggested that James might want to scavenge through his father's office). He did, however, scribble down the locations of all the secret passages out of the school before he left.

8. Teddy misses his parents. Not all the time – just here and there. The Potters and the Weasleys had always been more than kind to him, treating him as just another one of their enormous brood, but every now and then he wants his own father's advice or his own mother's hug.

9. A Gryffindor, Teddy never frightened easily. An adopted Wealsey, none of the uncles had ever terrified him the way they terrified some of his less than stalwart friends. However, he had never been more terrified than the day he had to ask Bill for permission to marry Victoire. He knew she would say yes (if he ever got to ask her), but daddy's little girl, Uncle Charlie the Dragon Tamer's favorite niece, was jealously guarded, and Teddy wasn't quite sure he'd make it out alive.

10. One of the first things Teddy ever learned about his father was that Remus Lupin had been a werewolf. He stumbled upon the knowledge one day when Uncle Harry and Gram were discussing it in the kitchen while he was supposed to be sleeping. Immediately after, he learned that Remus Lupin had been such a true and worthy man that his best friends had stuck by him, even during the full moon. As a result, when Teddy goes into wizard law after graduating Hogwarts, he works with his Aunt Hermione to erase the prejudiced treatment of werewolves. He likes to think that his father would have been proud.

Well? I've seen other people do this, and I wanted to try my hand at it. I'd love it if you would let me know what you think works and what doesn't, for future chapters. Thanks for reading!
