Book Moments: Aunt Petunia looked as though she might faint. She sank into the chair beside Dudley, her face in her hands. The remains of the envelope smouldered into ash in the silence.
hogwarts doesn't have trick or treating (and obviously not for american candy) but if it did sirius would trade all his chocolate for remus's circus peanuts and flat lollipops because he loves him that much
My third fic for (my) @goodboylupin Candy Hearts Challenge. My prompt was CARRY ME. Reminder to all participants, works are due on the 1st of March!
Fun fact: I thought of three different fic ideas for this prompt and all of them were meet cutes that heavily featured Teddy. I completed the one that had the most on-the-nose usage of the prompt. Thanks to @kattlupin for the beta. Also available on ao3.
Remus Lupin was a man who had watched a lot of Dad Reflex videos in his years on the internet. He remembered wondering once, as he held his (beautiful, precious, wonderful, awe-inspiring, perfect) fragile newborn son, whether there was some switch inside him that was supposed to turn on by itself and leave him capable of instantaneously making the right move to save his child in a life-or-death circumstance, whether it had done so already without him noticing, or if it was something he would build up in himself through years of training and close calls. He remembered thinking he didn’t want any close calls though, didn’t want to do or allow anything that would bring the barest risk of harming a single hair on Teddy’s little head, even if that meant he never developed those mythical Dad Reflexes himself. With the arrangement he and Tonks had going, it was possible Teddy would never truly see him as a dad anyway, just a cool-uncle-slash-sperm-donor.
Then, of course, his best friend had died and Remus was suddenly a single father with a little boy and a giant dog living in a brand new town on the other side of the country so he could be closer to his best friend’s mom who had never approved of their arrangement and maybe hated him for not handing over custody of the only living memory of her daughter but was still Teddy’s grandma and would hopefully be a steadfast presence in his baby’s life who would allow him to feel closer to his deceased mother (and maybe help out vis-a-vis babysitting.)
But that was a digression from the Dad Reflexes. As it turned out, Remus did have them. Not terribly surprising, really, since befriending a woman as clumsy as Tonks and having a child who inherited her coltishness had honed his everyday reflexes, but good to know. He wished he could have discovered them in a cooler way, like pulling Teddy away from a pack of wolves or something, but still, good to know.
They’d been taking a leisurely stroll along one of the trails of a local park after Teddy had tired himself out at the playground — Remus had hoped Teddy could strike up a friendship with another kid, he was gregarious enough to swing that, and then Remus would have an in with another parent before the school year started, but alas it had not happened, but it was fine because the day was instead a demonstration of how good Teddy was at independent play — when a great big blur of green and metal and greasy black hair that Remus would a split second later recognize as being some douchebag on a bike came flying at them like it was the Tour De France or something. Remus didn’t think about it for a second. He just picked his son up and curled around him as he ducked and rolled out of the way.
He wished his Dad Reflexes had been refined enough to stop him from getting tangled with his dog’s leash on the way down. He also kind of wished that he had ducked and rolled in the other direction, because though he may not have been able to completely clear out of the douchebag’s way if he had, he also would not have ended up rolling down a rather steep ditch while tangled with his dog’s leash.
“Teddy,” Remus gasped, releasing his son from the cocoon of his arms when they reached the bottom and finally stopped rolling. “Are you okay, baby?”
“I’m okay!” Teddy chirped, jumping and spreading his arms to display how okay he was. “That man wasn’t wearing a helmet, Daddy. His daddy shouldn’t have taken off his training wheels until he taught him.”
“Very true, Teddy,” Remus breathed. “His parents didn’t teach him to act right.”
“Are you okay, Daddy?” Teddy asked, because Teddy’s parents (parent, now, fuck, don’t think about it) were raising him to act right.
It was only then that Remus noticed his ankle was throbbing like a mother.
And his dog was lying despondent, making some worrying sounds.
“Snuffles!” Teddy cried. He made to run to Snuffles’ side when Remus caught him round the waist and halted him.
“Hold on, baby.” Remus unwound the leash still wrapped around his foot. He thought about trying to stand but decided instead to crawl over to Snuffles. Just the up and down of his knee lifting up and hitting the ground again sent pulsing pain up his leg. He was grateful when he’d finally made the three feet over and landed heavily back on his bottom, bad leg stretched out in front of him. “Sometimes when a dog is hurting, they’ll snap at people in a way they never would otherwise, even people they love. Humans are the same.”
Slowly, cautiously, he extended a closed fist to the dog. Snuffles let out a pitiful whine and pushed his head into Remus’s hand.
“Aww, buddy, what’s wrong?” Remus ran a soothing hand over the dog’s side, combing his fingers through the thick brown fur while looking him over. Oh, his leg was not supposed to bend that way. “You and I both, huh?”
He looked up at the hill they had just fallen down. There was no way he was crawling back up that thing, never mind getting Snuffles back up. Remus reached into his pocket for his phone and cursed internally at its absence. “Teddy, baby, you see my phone anywhere?”
“Uhhhmmmm…” Teddy placed his hands on his hips and scanned his surroundings. He made a happy ah sound at spotting it and ran to retrieve it, little arms swinging. “Here you go, Daddy!”
“Thank you, love.” Remus bit his lip when he saw the state of his phone, the screen cracked and muddy beyond belief. He tried to turn it on and sighed in resignation when nothing happened.
“Daddy,” Teddy tugged on his sleeve. “Are you okay?”
“Teddy, honey, I need you to do something for me.” Remus placed his hands on Teddy’s shoulders and looked at him very seriously. “I need you to climb to the top of the hill and call for help. Just to the top of it, okay? Don’t go over.”
“Can you come with me?” he asked in a small voice.
“Well, baby,” Remus took a deep breath. “Snuffles and I are a little hurt.”
Teddy whimpered, eyes already pooling with tears.
“Only a little!” Remus rushed to comfort him. He gathered Teddy tight in his arms and gave him a squeeze, rubbing a palm over his back. “Only a little booboo, and if you get help, we’ll get better. Can you be brave for me, Teddy?”
Teddy wiped the tears from his eyes and gave a solemn nod. “I’ll twy,” Teddy promised.
“There’s my boy. Be careful, love. Don’t go over the hill. If you can’t see me, then I can’t see you.”
Teddy nodded again and climbed slowly up the hill, taking frequent stops to look back at Remus for reassurance. When he reached the top of the hill, he balled his hands into fists and bellowed at the top of his lungs, “HEEEEEEEEEEEELP! Somebody heeeeeeeeelp!”
Somebody came running to Teddy, though from this angle Remus could only tell they had dark, messy hair. They said something that had Teddy pointing down the hill and, still screaming, answer, “MY DADDY FELL DOWN!”
“You all right, mister?” A cracking voice on the edge of dropping called, and a boy popped his head over the side of the hill to peer down.
Remus bit back a groan. He had hoped that a small child calling for help would attract the attention of a concerned mother, not a fellow small child.
Okay, no, he was exaggerating. The kid looked probably fourteen-ish, and if Remus remembered anything about that age, it was that teenagers hated being considered children.
“My dog and I have both injured our ankles. We’re going to need some help getting out from this ditch.”
“Big dog,” a second boy joined the first to note. This one had red hair and freckles.
“He’s a Newfie,” Remus said. “So about that help — “
“Don’t worry, mister, my uncle’s a doctor!” With that, the first boy ran away.
“How does that help me?” Remus called, though the boy was fast and already gone.
“And I have a wagon!” The redhead added, before also running away.
Remus glanced down at Snuffles and conceded that yes, a wagon would help him.
“Daddy!” Teddy cheered as he scaled down the hill again. “I was so bwave!”
“You were!” Remus agreed, scooping Teddy up to sit in his lap. “I’m so proud of you.”
“And you’ll be okay?”
“I will be,” Remus reassured.
“Mommy said she’d be okay and then she wasn’t. She pwomised.”
Remus heaved a sigh. “I know she did. But the way I got hurt is very different from what happened to Mommy. I know the very worst thing that could happen to me, baby: my ankle’s broken and I have to wear a cast for a few weeks. We’d be okay, wouldn’t we?”
“Uh huh,” Teddy agreed, smushing his face to Remus’s chest.
“You would help me while I had to use crutches, wouldn’t you?”
“Yeah, I’d always put all my toys away and I’d make ants on a log whenever we were hungry.”
“See, what else could I need? We’ll be just fine, baby.”
“Hello, down there!”
Remus looked up the hill to be greeted by the most handsome man who had ever walked the planet. He knew the man was some distance away and the sun was lighting him up from behind, he knew he hadn’t seen a whole lot of the world and the people in it, but Remus was still totally confident that he was the handsomest man who had ever walked the planet.
“Hello!” he greeted, wincing at how high his voice came out.
“Hi!” Teddy chirped.
The man was soon joined by one of the boys from earlier. “This is my uncle!” Messy Hair informed them.
Oh, yes, the doctor uncle actually being at the park with the nephew was helpful.
“I’m Sirius!” Dr. Handsome Uncle called down, cupping his (large) hands around his (kissable) mouth to make the sound carry.
“About what?” Remus yelled back.
“No, that’s my—” The man cut himself off mid-sentence, choosing instead to climb down the hill, giving Remus a lovely view of his broad, muscular back and firm ass in the process. “Sirius Black. That’s my name,” he clarified at a normal volume when he reached the bottom of the ditch, crouching down beside Remus.
“Remus Lupin,” Remus held out a hand to shake. “Oh, wait, I’m covered in dirt, you don’t have to—”
Sirius shook with one hand and held Remus’s wrist softly with the other. His hands were even handsomer up close, warm and soft and pleasantly callused. His face was even handsomer up close, all square jaw and high cheekbones without looking like handsome Squidward.
“And I’m Teddy Lupin!” Teddy chimed in, holding out his own (much cleaner, how crazy that his six-year-old had cleaner hands than him, it was probably the first time that had ever happened in his life) hand. He pointed at the dog, “That’s Snuffles.”
Sirius grinned (oh, what a smile. This could not be a real man. Remus must have been knocked out during the fall and this was a hallucination brought on by concussion. He needed to wake up so he could check on Teddy) and shook Teddy’s hand. “It’s so nice to meet you both, Teddy.”
“Thank you, it’s so nice to meet you too,” Teddy replied
“Now, Mr. Lupin—“
“Remus, call me Remus.”
Sirius smiled winsomely at him. “Remus, I’d like to give your ankle a look over to determine if we need to take you to get an x-ray.”
Feeling ludicrously grateful that he’d chosen a nice pair of socks that morning, Remus nodded his assent. He folded over himself to take his shoe off when Sirius stopped him, again with that soft hand around the wrist.
“I got it,” he murmured, unlacing the boot and sliding it off gently, then taking off his sock and stuffing it in the boot. “Oh, this is a nice shade of nail polish.”
“I picked it,” Teddy said proudly, tucking himself into Remus’s side. “Golden is Daddy’s second-favouritest colour.”
“You have very good taste, Teddy. Remus, was there any noise when you got the injury? A pop or a crack?”
“No, just the fall and the pain.”
“Has the pain subsided or gotten worse?”
“It’s a little worse now, I think, but that might just be that I’m paying it more attention.”
“Any numbness or tingling?”
“It’s more of a throb.”
Sirius hummed. “I’m going to poke and prod and wiggle you around now, tell me if anything hurts.”
After finishing his ‘poking and prodding and wiggling,’ Sirius sat back on his haunches and put Remus’s sock and shoe back on. “Just a sprain, Remus, a few days’ RICE and some ibuprofen and you should be just fine.”
“We can make stir fry!” Teddy cheered.
Remus dropped a kiss to Teddy’s hair so he wouldn’t laugh out loud. “Not that kind of rice, Teddy, but we can make stir fry anyway.”
“Okay,” Teddy agreed. “Can you help Snuffles now, Mr. Doctor Sirius?”
“Alas,” Sirius threw an arm up to his forehead, the picture of drama. “They taught us only how to treat humans at doctor school.”
Snuffles let out a pitiful whine.
“Aww, buddy.” Sirius pet the top of his head. “But! The slope of the hill is much smoother a few yards down, so Ron’s waiting with his wagon there and I figured I could carry him back to the path there.”
Remus bit his lip as he looked Sirius over (again). The man had thickly muscled arms and a barrel chest, but, “Snuffles is a big boy.”
“Don’t worry, I am too.” With that, Sirius placed both of Snuffles’ forelegs over his shoulders and lifted him up like a baby. He bent his knees a bit and shifted around but didn’t look terribly burdened by the weight.
“That dog weighs more than I do,” Remus whispered to himself, awestruck.
“I’ll be carrying you next” Sirius offered with a wink.
“You know,” Sirius’s nephew called as he too came down the hill, stopping to sit cross-legged with them in the mud. “My uncle likes stir fry too.”
“Does he?” Remus asked, arching an eyebrow.
“Mmhmm,” he nodded. “And he’s been very helpful to you, treating your ankle and offering to drive your dog to the vet.”
“He hasn’t offered to drive my dog to the vet…”
“Oh, he’s gonna. And I bet he’s also gonna be super hungry after carrying you and your dog around instead of just bringing the wagon down to the ditch.”
“Oh,” Teddy gasped. “We should invite him to dinner!”
“Yes,” the nephew gasped. “You should!”
“Harry,” Sirius intoned upon his return. “What are you up to?”
“Nothing!” The nephew — Harry — held his hands up in surrender. “I was, um, I was just telling Remus about this new enterprise Ron and I are starting with Hermione!”
“And what is it?”
“Basically, you call one number and you’re put in touch with multiple responsible young adults who are ready to offer our childcare services.”
“That’s not a new enterprise, Harry. It’s a very popular book series from thirty years ago that’s been made into movies and tv shows multiple times.”
“But I am new in town and I wouldn’t mind hiring you or your friend as a babysitter,” Remus offered. “You seem like great kids.”
“Awesome! Teddy and I will go ahead now and you two can take your time.” He stood and held out a hand for Teddy to take.
Teddy looked to make sure Remus nodded in agreement before taking Harry’s hand, immediately swinging it back and forth as they walked away.
Sirius sighed, barked out a laugh. He knelt at Remus’s side and slid an arm under Remus’s knees, another around his back. “Shall we?”
“We shall.” Remus looped his arms around Sirius’s neck. “Do you like stir fry?”

you know what? if Teddy knows the whole story about his parents, I think he would be extremely mad at them for both going to Hogwarts that night. I think his grief would almost definitely revolve around "what if"s and being left behind. I fully believe he would have commitment issues both growing up and as an adult as a result of both of them leaving him as a baby to go to Hogwarts. I don't think that the righteousness of fighting in this war and how it helped save the Wizarding World would mean shit to Teddy, an orphan of the said war.
do you ever think about how each of the marauders died when their lives were finally starting to look up?
james and lily died after having their sweet baby boy. yes, they were stir-crazy and in the war but they had each other and they had their friends and things could only go up.
sirius was on the brink of having his name cleared, he finally got to form a relationship with his godson, he was continuing his friendship with moony, he was ready to finish what they all started years ago.
remus was starting to accept who he was. he was finally starting to let himself be happy, regardless of being a werewolf. he was with a woman he loved and was about to start a new adventure of parenthood. he had reconnected with padfoot and gotten closer to harry.
peter, although down a dark and unforgivable past had finally had a glimmer of something good. he had a chance that he didn’t have to be a bad person, that he could do the right thing. that maybe he could make up for what he had done to his friends.
