Lupin-Tonks

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. "Who is it?" shouted Al as he walked towards the door.

"It's me," a voice replied. Al opened the door, revealing a young man with messy violet hair.

"Good morning! Sorry to interrupt, but I can't find my dragon gloves. Did I leave them here?"

"Pff, what a team of Aurors I have at my command. You'd lose your head if it weren't attached," joked the adult Harry.

"No idea where they might be," said James, closing his hands, which now oddly had mittens on them.

"James..." the adult Ginny threatened. James returned the gloves to the new guy with a smile. He reached for them and sighed, and as he did, his hair changed color to blue.

"Thanks a lot. Goodbye, godparents. See you later this afternoon."

"Godparents!?" Harry tried to decipher who it could be. He then turned to Tonks, who had opened her eyes wide. She was the only metamorphmagus he knew, so it made sense to consider her, but Harry never thought they'd get along well enough for her to ask him to be the godparent of her child. And who could be the father?

"Wait a moment," said the adult Ginny. "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Uh... Y-yes, of course," replied the blue-haired guy.

"You can't lie to us, Teddy," said Harry, taking out the pan again. "Don't you know how important breakfast is?" Teddy resigned after trying unsuccessfully to be let go.

"What's the hurry, mate?" asked James.

"I have a couple of things to do before lunch, that's all."

"And are your nerves related to Dominique, right?" said the little redhead.

Teddy coughed, then replied, "Haha, w-what? Of course not, Lily. What are you talking about?"

Harry felt nostalgic hearing the name of his future daughter, and he wasn't the only one in the room...

"Are you finally getting married?" said the excited girl. "Finally, you'll be 100% part of the family! Lupin Weasley family, I can already see it."

Teddy almost choked, and he wasn't the only one. His father almost had a heart attack hearing that, while his shocked mother slowly drew a surprised smile.

"T-this... No, it's not possible," babbled the flustered Professor Remus. Harry didn't know what he was supposed to say. Should he congratulate him? Comfort him?

"Haha! In the end, I always won," said Tonks triumphantly.

The future Harry sighed. "Ah, I still remember when you were just a baby."

"Godfather, don't start with that, please," blushed Teddy as his hair turned crimson.

"Wow, you've suffered so much. First, the death of your parents, and then your grandmother... I still remember when I took you into my house after all that."

The young Harry went cold. Wasn't it enough that Sirius was gone? Did Remus also have to leave? Maybe Peter should go too so that the whole gang could leave at once.

"And now, that little boy is all grown up."

"They grow up so fast," added Ginny, hugging her husband, both melancholic.

"Well, I must go," said the young man. "See you at lunch." And with the speed of lightning, he left, leaving half the room in shock.

Lupin went out to catch some air, and Tonks followed to discuss the matter.

The deep silence was broken by a yawn. "What a boring family drama all this is," said Draco, bored. "How are we supposed to move on to the next side to finish quickly?" Then a shiny object landed on them.

Harry distinguished, among the flashes, what seemed like a list with two checkboxes crossed out. He slowly approached, ignoring Hermione's warnings, and pressed it. As he did, the sensation of the beginning was felt again.
