Teddy kept his eyes looking at the cards, not even knowing he was crying until another 1st year said so. "Look at him!" He crowed. "So scared he's crying!" "Sir!" A stern looking woman called. "You best watch your tongue. If you're not careful, you could end up in trouble with me." The boy nodded solemnly. Finally, Teddy was sorted."Lupin, Edward!" Professor McGonagall called softly. "Gryffindor!!"

Teddy's first week was almost perfect expect for the school bully, Freddy. "Lupin, eh?" He had chided. "Hear Daddy's a werewolf and so are you." "My dad is dead." Teddy snarled. "Good thing too. Probably couldn't stand to have a werewolf as a..." "Mr. Thergis, is that something you want to say?" Headmistress McGonagall said sharply. "Mr. Lupin, please head to my office entrance." Teddy nodded and arrived at the entrance shortly before Professor McGonagall. "This way Teddy." "You know my name?" Teddy asked. "Of course." She pushed open the door to reveal Kingsley Shacklebolt. "Lupin Jr." He said in his deep voice. "Minister, I haven't done anything..." Kingsley laughed. "You're not in trouble Teddy. Although with Harry Potter as your godfather, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case." "You know my name." "I know your name as well as I knew your mother and father. In fact, that's why I'm here." "Here because...?" "What do you know about your father Teddy?" "He was a werewolf." Teddy said hopefully. "And,...?" "He was best friends with Harry Potters dad." Kingsley nodded. "And he was a member of the Order of the Phoenix." Kingsley nodded. "I also awarded him Order of Merlin, 1st Class. I am here to give YOU, the only son and child of Remus John Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks-Lupin, their honor. So," Kingsley straightened. "I, Kingsley Shacklebolt, hereby present Mr. Edward Remus Lupin with his father's medal of the Order of Merlin. So let it be written. So let it be done."
