1. Years
Twenty-two years later, Teddy Lupin had a family of his own, and in honour of the family he had lost as a baby, he named his daughter Remei Nymphadora. She wasn't a Metamorphmagus, and she inherited only the Veela blond hair from her mother's side, but she was pretty and talented enough that at age eighteen she turned the head of confirmed bachelor and Professor at the Cambridge Institute for Magical Advancement, Scorpius Malfoy.
It was while Remei and Scorpius were on a research trip to the Black Forest that the fortieth anniversary of victory over Voldemort was celebrated. To the embarrassment of Remei's extended family, and the outrage of traditionalists, part of the celebrations was the renaming of the Hogwarts school Houses after the heroes of the war. The change was meant to unite the nation in celebration and to symbolize that the old rivalries were dead. In actual fact, it divided the country so successfully that it was almost scrapped. It only survived because one of the few things everyone agreed on – except perhaps Scorpius' extended family - was that there should be a 'Potter' House, and to rename one meant renaming them all.
On Sunday 23rd August, 2048, the night of a full moon, Teddy Lupin's grandson was born. Remei and Scorpius had waited so that the sex of the baby would be a surprise. Holding their child, they were at a loss to recall any of the potential names they had come up with over the preceding nine months. Standing by the window, looking out at the night sky, Teddy quietly suggested, "What about Roman?"
The following Thursday, Madame Flavia Prince also gave birth to a baby boy. She had been one of the ministers involved in the renaming of the Hogwarts Houses, and had pushed for the inclusion of her distant kinsman and hero, Severus Snape. It was with great pride that she named her son Severo.
