{DEATHLY HALLOWS SPOILERS like whoa}
Chapter One
James cannot recall the first time they had ever met, the memory some kind of riddle he cannot solve. It occurs to him that it's quite mad that because he does not know when he first learned Teddy's name, to him, the words Ted Remus Lupin had always held meaning, like the name is an innate thing within him. Teddy is Teddy to James the way eating with him and learning with him and playing with him and the existence of magic is faultless, natural fact.
And Teddy's arrival for dinner is only a continuation of the parts of James's life that he thinks will never be snatched away.
