Edward Lupin

## Edward Remus Lupin

**Professor Edward Remus "Teddy" Lupin** (b. April 16, 1998), occasionally known as **Ted**, was a British half-blood wizard, the only child and son of the late Remus and Nymphadora Tonks. He was, like his mother, a Metamorphmagus. He did not inherit his father's lycanthropy. Teddy was named in honour of his maternal grandfather Edward Tonks, who was murdered shortly before his birth. His godparents were Harry Potter and Calliope Tonks.

Teddy was raised by his aunt and uncle, Calliope and Fred Weasley, with help from his godfather (Harry Potter) and grandmother (Andromeda Tonks). He began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 2009. During his time at Hogwarts Teddy was Sorted into Hufflepuff House and in his seventh year was appointed Head Boy.

### Biography

#### Early life (1998-2009)

Edward "Teddy" Lupin was born on April 16, 1998 to Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks. Some months before his birth, his father expressed regret to Harry Potter of marrying Tonks and fathering a child, fearing that his child would be a werewolf and face discrimination like he had. Remus wanted to join the trio in their mission to destroy Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes until Harry chastised him for being a coward. Remus fled in anger and shame.

When Teddy was born, Remus found the trio and immediately made Harry and Callie Teddy's godparents, completely forgiving Harry for his harsh words. He was named in honour of his maternal grandfather Edward Tonks.

On 2 May, 1998, his mother and father both fought in the Battle of Hogwarts, leaving him with his maternal grandmother Andromeda Tonks. Unfortunately both of Teddy's parents died in the battle, leaving him an orphan and was therefore raised by his maternal aunt and uncle.

#### Hogwarts years (2009-2016)

Since he was born in April 1998, Teddy began his education in the magical arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on 1 September, 2009. He was Sorted into Hufflepuff.

He was made Head Boy in his seventh year. That year, James Potter II and Leo Weasley were Sorted into Gryffindor, much to Teddy's disappointment.

#### After Hogwarts (2016-?)

Like his father, Teddy became a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor in 2019 and the Head of Hufflepuff house in 2021.

### Physical appearance

Being a Metamorphmagus, Ted was able to change his physical appearance at will.

### Magical abilities and skills

* **Metamorphmagus**: Ted was a Metamorphmagus, a rare skill he inherited from his mother. As a baby, he had black hair that turned into ginger hair, and later turquoise hair.

### Relationships

#### Family

Teddy's mother and father were murdered by Death Eaters Bellatrix Lestrange and Antonin Dolohov during the Battle of Hogwarts, leaving their son an orphan. Teddy was thus brought up by his maternal aunt and uncle, Callie and Fred Weasley and saw a lot of the Potter and Weasley families, visiting at least three times a week for dinner.

On his mother's side, Teddy is also related to the Black and Malfoy families; Narcissa Malfoy is his great-aunt, Lucius Malfoy is his great-uncle, making Draco Malfoy his first cousin once removed and Scorpius Malfoy his second cousin. His mother's murderer, the late Bellatrix Lestrange, was also his great-aunt. Bellatrix's husband, Rodolphus Lestrange is also his great-uncle. His grandmother and two great-aunts' cousins, Sirius Black and Regulus Black, are his first cousins twice removed.
