Chapter 1: The Accident
Teddy looked down to the little 9 year old boy pulling on his worn jeans.
"Yes, Albus?" Teddy gazed at Albus. He had messy black hair and glasses that went over his startling green eyes.
"Teddy," the boy said with his voice heavy from the tears threatening, "I'm really going to miss you. Please don't go. You can stay at home with me" Albus was upset because he never cried; it made him feel weak.
"I'm sorry, Al, but I really need to go. You'll get to go in 2 more years. I mean I wish you could come, but, you probably won't fit in my trunk." he added, trying to make the young boy laugh. Well, at least he cracked a smile.
"Your right, I was being stupid," said Albus while rubbing his eyes.
"Oh , Albus, you weren't being stup-" Teddy was cut off by his godfather's voice.
"Are you ready Teddy?" asked Harry in his normal to the point voice.
"Just one more second" he replied. Then he turned to face Albus, and saw that he was holding a golden necklace. "Albus! Stop, don't play with that!
Teddy startled Albus, which made him jerk upward and drop the necklace. It hit the floor with a small shattering sound.
Teddy instantly grabbed Albus' hand and they started to spin. He knew what had happened; Albus had dropped his time-turner, and now they were going into the past. He didn't know how far back in time they would go, until they stopped spinning and he saw a bright smiling face in front of him.
The girl had red hair and bright green eyes.
She stuck out her hand and said, "Hi, nice to meet you. I haven't seen you around before. Anyway, my name is Lily Evans"
Teddy just stared at Lily with disbelief. How could this be true? He went back in time to meet his godfather's mother, who was, at his time, dead.
After a pregnant pause, Teddy grabbed her hand, shook it, and replied, "Nice to meet you too. I went to a different school before this, that's why you don't recognize me." He added with a small smile. "I'm going into my 7th year. What about you?"
"I'm also going to be a 7th year!" She then looked down at Albus, and asked who he was. Albus just stared at his dead grandmother, so Teddy interjected.
"Oh! I forgot; my name is Teddy Rover, and he is Albus Rover. Okay, so let's get on the train."
"Is Albus old enough to go to Hogwarts?" Lily asked with worry in her voice.
"Umm, well you see, our parents are dead, and I thought Dumbledore could help me with finding a place to keep Al."
"Oh, shoot! I'm so sorry. I had no idea!"
"It's alright. You really couldn't have known."
"Well, I'm still sorry. Anyway, come on, you can sit with me."
They walked to the very end of the long train and then Lily slid open the door. Inside there were already 4 people: 1 had dark hair, round glasses, and brown eyes; it was James Potter. The next boy had long wavy black- blue hair, bright gray eyes, and a playful smirk etched onto his angular face; Sirius Black. The next was a plump boy with brown hair and large round eyes; Peter Pettigrew. Then there was a skinny boy with honey brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, scars on his face, and a book in hand; Remus Lupin.
Teddy's heart swelled at the sight of his father; he was just sitting there looking at him with a small smile forming on his lips. "Hi, I'm Remus Lupin. What are your names?"
When Teddy didn't respond right away, Albus answered for him. "I'm Albus Rover, and he is Teddy Rover. Our parents died, so I'm going to stay at Hogwarts with him" He ended with a smirk almost identical to James'
"Yeah," was all Teddy manages to squeak out of his closed throat.
Suddenly, Teddy's hair went from its usual turquoise shade to a reddish color. "Hey! You're an animagus! My cousin is one too." Sirius exclaimed with a cocky grin on his face.
"That's cool," Teddy replied.
"So, do you like reading?" Remus asked with an amused expression on his face.
"I love to read. My dad really liked it too, so I guess that's where I get it from." Teddy said with a nervous smile.
"Well, I don't like reading." Albus said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Right back at ya little buddy." James said with an identical tone as his grandkid.
"Wow it's creepy how alike you guys look." Lily said, "The only difference is that Albus has green eyes."
"True that Lilyflower!" Sirius yelled then bust into a laughing fit.
"Hey! I can see the castle! Get ready for the opening prank of the year!" screamed James with an excited smile.
Teddy couldn't help but feel that he was definitely going to enjoy this while it lasted.
Hey(: I hope you liked it! I'm sorry it was boring, but I promise it will get WAY better. Please leave a comment; I would love to hear what you think.
