Teddy Lupin
twenty-seven. he/them. demiboy. ex-auror. order.
he is a sun in human skin; bright enough to blind, yes, bright enough to ravage corneas and hearts alike, but you have been on fire from the start and the burning has always been worth it.
â Some are just born to burn; you can tell by their firework smiles bright enough to strike a match. But hereâs the strangest part: some are so terribly brilliant that we wouldnât mind burning with them. â

â He is a sun in human skin; bright enough to blind, yes, bright enough to ravage corneas and hearts alike, but you have been on fire from the start and the burning has always been worth it. â TREVANTE RHODES? No, thatâs actually TEDDY LUPIN. Only TWENTY-SEVEN years old, this SLYTHERIN alumni works as UNEMPLOYED and is sided with THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX. HE/THEY identifies as DEMI BOY and is a HALFBLOOD (METAMORPHMAGUS) who is known to be SLY, NOSY, and SELF-SACRIFICIAL but also HONEST, PLAYFUL, and COMPASSIONATE.
[ TW: PARENTAL DEATH MENTION ] Teddy had come as a surprise to Dora and Remus, one that had somehow brought them back together. To say his parents where happy during their time with him would be a lie. They werenât the healthiest couple and due to Remusâ fear of Teddy becoming like him â it even strained their relationship with him during the time he spent kicking around in the womb. The month after his birth is a different story. Though their time was cut short, Remus had warmed up to his bubblegum-pink haired infant and his relationship with Tonks had smoothed out just before their demise.
Teddy spent most of his childhood bouncing between his grandmother and his godfather, Harry Potter. Though it was his grandmotherâs place that he called home. Teddy grew up curious as to how different his life would be if his parents were still with him. Countless people had countless stories of his parents. They would tell him how they were heroes, how they gave their life for the greater good and while he thought that was brave...he would have rather them be there with him. He had Andromeda though. It was her and him against the world and heâd never give her anything less than the whole world.
The first day of Hogwarts was a train wreck. The letter came just as expected, heâd breezed through shopping in Diagon Alley, and literally could not stay still on the train ride to Hogwarts. Once he stepped on the boats the looks heâd gotten from Hagrid, then McGonagall, the rest of the professors as he made his way down to let the sorting hat crown his head had created a pit in his stomach. Pity and sorrowâ nothing he needed but it seemed his first year would be full of it. There were whispers of Hufflepuff or Gryffindor but he had surprised everyone with Slytherin. He was welcome graciously but still he was received by careful kindness though he felt it was more because he was an orphan than actual kindness. He spent that first week moping, hair colored black/blue, using his free time to stare, teary-eyed up at his parents portraits and ushered into McGonagallâs office for tea and biscuits. He wanted nothing more than to go home and crawl into his grandmotherâs arms but he didnât -- Teddy stood strong and stubborn.
Time passed as it always does and he eventually grew used to the pity in their eyes until it slowly disappeared all together. Around his fourth year, at least in school, heâd grown out of the âPoor Orphanâ trope and made a name for himself outside of his parents â which is a necessity of growing.
He was quite popular through out his years in Hogwarts due to a shining personality that even McGonagall herself couldnât  hold a straight face towards. Aside from family history, his hair, handsome looks ( OH BUT U THINK HE GONNA LET HIMSELF NOT LOOK GOOD, FRIENDS U WRONG ) tendency to hold out a helping hand to anyone had plenty on team Teddy. He eventually would get a Head Student role in his seventh year just because of his compassion, natural leadership and charisma.
However, Teddy continued on his own little legacy into his career after he graduated. He was ( still is ) well loved once he entered the aurors field, finding a lot of older aurors who were friends of his mother and father who were willing to take him under their wing. And just like school he breezed through ( perhaps not the best but he definitely had the qualities that earned him an extra star or two ). He became particularly famous for high priority targets he brought in due to being a metamorphmagus. And just in two years after finishing his training, he was promoted to Sergeant of the Aurorâs department, working at the side of Harry Potter himself.
Heâd happen to stumble upon talk of an âattackâ late in October on a covert mission heâd set himself on to get a lead on the movements of the death eaters. But he would come o Harryâs rescue much too late. Teddy attempted to save him and dueled with Death Eaters cloaked in masks that would have taken him as a victim with the three. He escaped to a âclose friendsâ house and recuperated until the memorial.
Eventually he lost his status as Sergeant and was fired from the aurorâs department two weeks after Fawley took over. He now is technically unemployed but he manages well with gambling death eaters out of their money.
He acts as a second in command for the Order of the Phoenix and tends to take on the more dangerous missions alone due to his meta abilities.
Personality:
basically teddy is the type to find the best in every situation so heâs rarely bothered by other people and usually finds any attempt to âshakeâ him hilarious.
heâs very open with everything and upfront with his feelings. if his happy, he will tell you, if heâs sad, heâll tell you. ( and yes his hair is a makeshift mood ring so study up on color symbolism )
a big goofball tbh. super troll-y and down for a good drag. he is savage and he is a take no prisoner type of person. LOL even if you are lily potter, heâs gonna drag u â with love <3
heâs a proper snake when it comes to games. heâs good at strategizing and itâs rare that heâll lose unless itâs on purpose or if HE is drunk tbh. basically heâs a CARD SHARK. heâll cheat you right out of every cent you have thoughâŚhe mostly keeps to snatching that money from the drunks in hogsmeade. and by drunks, teddy means douchebags or the corrupted members of society â watch your pockets deâs.
on the subject of family, he lived mostly with his grandmother. kind of going back and forth between the potters and andromedaâs home. he adores the wotters and kind of takes over the big brother type of role for any of them. heâs quite sensitive on the topic of family so he doesnt quite consider the wotters family because they arenât?? â his family is andromeda and his parents and he feels that he should keep them separated. HOWEVER this does not mean he is anti-wotters or he loves them any less??? honestly he adores every single one of them.
he doesnt really talk about his parents. thatâs probably the one thing he refuses to be open about and will remove himself from the situation if itâs brought up.

âIsnât that bad,â Nadia mimicked, eyes rolling, âYour palate is in dire need of refinement, Lupin. I shudder to think of what you choose to drink.â Lips quirked upward at his words despite herself, and she busied herself with her own glass to avoid eye contact, âYouâre ridiculous. But the correct answer was red, so also lucky. Tell me,â She leaned forward, mirroring his own pose, âdoes that sort of flattery often work for you?â
âMy palate is more suited to a night out in London than an Italian countryside-- but that could change with time. --And it isnât that bad. I actually like this one..unlike the first few.â He grinned wide, cheeks growing warmer when she mirrored him. âI donât know youâll have to let me know, does it?â he followed up with a chuckle. if this was some sort of muggle cartoon, his eyes would have turned into massive hearts-- luckily, for Teddy he would seem that obvious. Though it seemed he couldnât help himself from letting a bashful grin spread ear to ear. âDia. I--â Maybe heâd tasted a little too much wine. â--You know this place is big for just one person.â He added, turning away from her to gaze out at the living area ( though he was sure she would have a different name for it ), scruffling the back of his hair that had turned a charming shade of maroon.

âTry this one.â A glass was pushed across the countertop, Nadia looking expectantly at her companion. Why she was doing this, she couldnât say. She wasnât dwelling too much on the whyââor how Artemis would never let her live it down if she knew Nadia was hosting an impromptu wine tasting at her apartment, with Teddy Lupin as the sole guest. âItâs a sangiovese. You still havenât told me if you prefer white or red. There is a correct answer, by the way.â
âsangiovese.â teddy repeated, squinting down at the glass before shooting a grin in her direction. he wasnât personally into the whole âswirl and inhale your drink before slurping it downâ but for nadiaâs sake he gave it a small spin around the glass before downing it. â--you know, this one isnât that bad.â he pushed the glass back towards her. âand you know what, iâll go with red because...â he leaned across the marble counter, resting his chin on his wrists.â..itâs my favoriteâs favorite and everytime i see her, sheâs reaching for a bottle of red.â
eden schooled her features into less of a grimace. lupin was being calm and rational - and somehow also insulting. though her patience had already been tested thrice over today, blowing up in his face wouldnât help anything - it would merely be fun. âas a matter of fact, teddy, iâm on a budget. iâm here buying gloves for the designers at twillfitt - we use them when dyeing the fabrics. and while some of us can manifest scales â â she waved a pointed fingernail at his hands â â and other animal parts at will, the rest of us must pay.âÂ
âmust suck to be you.â teddy sighed, looking over the gloves before setting them on the counter. âdolohov on a budget that seems rich.â He couldnât help but chuckle at his pun but he fished out an extra galleon or two in hopes of helping out the shopkeeper who was in no way prepared to deal with a battle over pricing. âlisten how about i just give you the difference between what you want to pay and what the price is and you go dye that fabric your new scales and everyone is happy?â

âoi â they were five galleons yesterday. have dragon scales miraculously increased in price? do you take me for a fool?â eden clutched a pair of dragonhide gloves in front of the shopkeepâs face, irritation etched into her features. she tossed the gloves down on the floor in front of her. âi know my dragon products; i suggest you do your bloody research.âÂ
âoi -- donât you know that the prices arenât up to the employees, ms. dolohov? i understand it gets a bit nauseating sitting up there on your high horse but down here in reality where those gloves cost three times these scales.â teddy sighed, swiping up the gloves that were thrown onto the ground. âdoesnât look like you canât afford it, eden. or at least take a walk to the next supplier?â

Itâs a change in the air that first alerts her to his presence. The air feels charged, somehow, a warmth thatâ-much to her annoyanceâ-is not altogether unwelcome at this point. Teddy Lupin is a pest of the highest order, and there are days where she swears sheâd rather drown in bubotuber puss than admit it, butâŚ. she presses her lips together to keep them from quirking upward, before finally speaking, âColor me surprised. Somehow I didnât think hobnobbing with the Ministryâs elite was Teddy Lupinâs idea of a good time. No back alley fights to get into on New Years Eve?â She peered over at him, âYou could at least offer to get a lady a drink.â
âyou know, a back alley fight does sound like a good time-- but i figured having the chance to run into nadia zabini would be better. especially when sheâs looking this cute.â a smirk curved onto his lips as he looked down at the drink heâd procured for himself and offered it to her. âitâs not a red but the auror department doesnât do italian wines, dia. --we could make a round see with the otherâs brought-- maybe theyâd have something to your tastes?â Teddy smiled, offering his elbow.
