Teddy was a 21 year old Auror, who just transferred from the 'American' government. Of course Teddy never actually did go through the training, but thanks to Dumbledore he could get clearance to be an Auror. Of course they watched him some more since he was posing as Remus' fourth cousin twice removed, because 'when he found out that he had the same last name of someone here he looked it up and found they were related somehow'. It was quite simple to forge the proof of it.
At this moment Teddy was off, on both Order and Ministry duty for the day. Feeling he wanted to take a good night off, he headed to Hogsmeade. It was odd he still hadn't met either his mother or father being in both groups they were known to be in. Teddy sighed heading to the Hog's Head, remembering that Dumbledore's brother worked there.
"One firewhiskey, Abeforth," Teddy ordered his drink, having met Abeforth in the previously so it wasn't odd he called him by his first name. Teddy looked around seeing that no one else was here besides a few people he didn't recognize.

Tonks strode into the Hog's Head. She'd been placed in Hogsmeade with those stupid Death Eaters for too long, they were starting to get on her nerves for the last time. Her murky brown hair wasn't very distinguisable as her pink hair but she was still depressed about Antarctica. To her, what had happened in the tent had been a dream and she was too drepressed to talk about it to anyone.
She sat down and ordered a butterbeer, get glared at the wall behind the bar and kept that steady gaze. It wasn't hard to tell who she was but if you didn't look from the side you'd think her to be just one random face. She hadn't even noticed that she'd sat down next to someone, that's how mad she was.

Teddy looked towards the woman who had just entered, and a huge smile formed on his face. He tried to hide it but it was too hard to avoid. He was just waiting for this meeting all of his life. When he was little it was just a dream, that's all it was until he was transported back in time. Teddy's smile was huge and he couldn't stop himself, though his smile decreased in slight size.
"Angry I assume?" Teddy asked looking towards Tonks, knowing his mother from everyone else, "My name is Teddy Lupin. Pleasure to meet you." He knew his last name would have an effect on his mother. If he remembered correctly it was still months until his father finally got together with his mother, but that didn't mean he couldn't help nudge them that way. Teddy's smile slowly decreased in size, though it still remained. He was half-tempted to change his appearance and reveal his Metamorphagus abilities. Not yet, one little weapon at a time.

Tonks twitched slightly. Lupin. The kid talking to her was a Lupin.. Grand.. just grand. She nodded at his question and then turned to look at the boy. He looked taller than her just by sitting down.
"You have no idead, kid.. My life feels like it's being flushed down the lue.. and that's never good.." she said, "You say your last name is Lupin huh? My name's Nymphadora Tonks, but please call me Tonks. I hate my frist name." This kid was a bit odd, and drinking a firewhiskey? What was this kid, a heavy drinker?

"Oh I understand completely," Teddy replied thinking of Victoire, having not really touched his firewhiskey too often, "Yep, Lupin. Nice to finally meet you Tonks, Mad-eye has told me all about you."
Teddy had several things that he would slowly lay down on her, such as he was from America, and that he was a Metamorphagus, plus the fact he could tell her everything about herself. Hopefully he wouldn't seem like a stalker knowing all of this, nor attract her affections from Remus to him.

"Huh... Well then. So, you know Mad-Eye.. he's absolutely mad, and he sent me here by myself. I have to work with Proudfoot, Savage and Dawlish.. Tch. Typical Ministry.." Tonks shook her head, "Speaking of Lupin's, what's your relationship to Remus Lupin?"
She was curious, could this kid be be related to him? The last name Lupin wasn't very common, but known throughout Hogwarts students in their third year and up.

Teddy was happy that he had known all of those Aurors she was talking about. Apparently Harry Potter didn't know too much about them, except that Dawlish was prone to confundus charms. But since Teddy was here he made it a priority to learn most of the Aurors.
"Ah Dawlish is quite prone to Confundus Charms, isn't he? Apparently I'm supposed to be under everyone's wings instead of just one at this time," Teddy replied, "Though I haven't met everyone." Ah ha! The question he was waiting for. He and his sister both agreed on the very distant relationship. It made it easier to forge documents and make up one person no one would not know if was real or not.
"Yeah, he's my... I think fourth cousin... twice..? removed. Something like that," Teddy replied knowing full well that he was right, and just played he wasn't sure, "Haven't met him yet." Truth in that. He hadn't... yet but he was bound to meet him soon, "Though I've been told so much about him."

Tonks shook her head, this kid knew quite alot about what seemed to be going on. Maybe he was a good Auror. She couldn't even laugh at anything at that moment, but if she could, she'd be laughing at that moment.
"Under everyones wing.. special treatment huh? I just work under Mad-Eye.. Yeah he is, I've used it all too much on him.. So has Dumbledore, Kingsley told me all about it." she smirked. She'd heard that story so many times, the first time she'd been happier and actually laughed at it so hard she thought she broke a rib.
"I'd introduce you, but I'm not speaking to him at the current point. Helpful tip kid, when someone breaks your heart, leave them be and live with your heart break. That's what I have to do.." Tonks looked at the floor, thinking about the rejection made her want to cry. She hid her face behind the collar of her cloak and wiped her eyes.

"Well it's because I'm a transfer and apparently my training records from there were destroyed or something like that, so they want to keep an eye on me, so I'm under everyone's wing, or eye you could say," Teddy replied with a chuckle thinking of the one story Harry told him about Dumbledore and Kingsley and Dawlish in Harry's fifth year, it was very interesting, and one of his favorites that didn't include his parents.
"He broke your heart?" Teddy remarked remembering how he heard stories about how his father took forever to break and finally get with his mother, "Tonks, I've learned from experience that, when your heart is broken, to get back up and glue it back together the best you can. I've broken a heart dear to me, as well as mine. I bet that his heart is broken just as much as yours."

"Huh.. Well then I guess that means I get to teach you too. Just remember to use what powers you got to hide. I can usually change my appearence, but I haven't been able to lately.." Tonks said dropping her gaze again.
"If his hearts broken, he does a good job of hiding it because he always seems fine when I'm around." she almost whimpered, "Well, the glue doesn't work at all.. Severus Snape keeps laughing at me for my patronus.. He never understood anything about me.. I wish he'd fall down a well some times.."
She was thinking, Could he have broken his own heart? No, it wasn't true, it couldn't be.. could it? No, he just hurt me, I know it.. the tent was just a dream that had a sad ending. that thought replayed in her mind over and over on a constant loop.

"Power I have to hide? Well I must say that I am a Metamorphagus just like you. If you want I can always see if I can help you use your powers better," Teddy replied having not been able to use his powers for the first couple of breakups with Victoire. Teddy knew that she would probably have a good reaction to him being what she was as well.
"We Lupins are a lot alike," Teddy replied, "Have you ever considered he only breaks your heart because he's afraid of what he feels for you. Perhaps he's afraid of what he feels, so he pushes it away. I know I've felt that before." Of course with Victoire. He felt terrible about it, but the feeling was frightening, and he wasn't used to it. He was sure it was harder with his father because he never felt the love from anyone who wasn't dead by this point, and was afraid of it.

Tonks lifted her head, she wondered..
"You're one too? I haven't met many, I figured we were an endangered species." she said, "I'm not sure you can, I'm not good with keeping my emotions under control when I can keep being a metamorphagus under control. It all goes haywire and I just lose it.."
There was one other question she had, "You have a sister don't you, Teddy? I can tell, this sounds like something a brother would say to his sister.. I'd never consider that, I thought he just didn't have the same feelings. I figured he just wanted to remain friends.." she started to cry again, "I-I don't even know what I was thinking. My parents kept telling me that I shouldn't try. They said I'd be in exile almost.. I guess they were right.."

"Yeah I am one, though I was the only one I knew of from where I am from," Teddy replied with a smile, then changing his hair to a bright turquoise, and back to his black. Unlike his mother he didn't wear unusual colors on his hair, though if he felt particularly happy he would have neon colors at times. "I guess that's true. I think the only way to control your powers is to control your emotions."
"I do, her name's Sophia," Teddy answered with a smile, he usually gave her advice on things so she would learn from his mistakes, or most of them, "Shhh it's ok. While I don't know him personally, I have a good feeling that he does love you very much. If he's anything like every single other Lupin in our family, then he is afraid, and too afraid to admit it. Let me guess he's faced terrors larger than love, obstacles most couldn't overcome, and yet he's afraid of a relationship. If you want to see into the psychi of a Lupin man, I'm the one to contact, because I've been through it a good five times with one person. I can't say that I know that this Lupin is an exception, but I have a good feeling about this."

"Okay, never go to America.. made a note of it.." Tonks nodded, "Hmm maybe you should keep the blue it'd get more attention than black.. I usually have mine set to pink.." She missed her color, she liked to test other colors. Like the last year, she'd just tested violet. It really wasn't her color, "Emotions are key.."
"I wish I had a sister.. or a baby girl.. I'd love to teach her about what to expect and what not to.. I got off track.. You're saying all Lupins are like this? Oi.. Well, he's seen two of his best friends die and the other one simply turned traitor. Everyone thinks that I think that second one to die was my fault because I was fighting his killer and I let her get away from me.." Tonks was still crying slightly, she did that a lot lately.

"Ah well... the love of my life prefers the black, so I keep it black," Teddy replied quickly, thinking that he used to have the blue hair, but after he fell in love with the Weasley he stayed black and he's not going back, unless Victoire asked him to. He was whipped when it came to Victoire but that didn't stop him for being scared of his feelings.
"Hm, well I sincerely hope you do," Teddy replied thinking of how in their time they technically had a daughter since he had a sister, even though adopted, it didn't matter, "Well my father was like this with mother, and my uncle was like this with his wife. I've gone through it myself, so I would say so... Whoa wait, he had two of his best friends die? Oh wow, I didn't know, it doesn't change it, but it also adds another thing to it, he wants to protect you. Think those he cared about ended up dead. If he cares about you, then he might loose you too... It wasn't your fault. Whoever killed his friend was at fault, I bet they were some vicious Death Eater who didn't care about killing, it's not your fault. It wasn't anyone's fault except for the killer's. Don't blame yourself. Remus' friend wouldn't want you to, I would think."
