FOREWORD
This document details some specifics of the future lives of Theodore and Victoire Lupin, esquires. It was specifically made to make sharing details on the Lupin children easier but has instead grown to mainly detail the laws the family has in their law book, a list of links to silly hats, and some facts scattered through-out. No, it doesn't really make any sense but neither do the Lupins.
→ CHILDREN / PB SUGGESTIONS FOR PEOPLE WANTING TO PLAY SAID CHILDREN / OTHER NOTES ABOUT THE CHILDREN
• Victoire and Teddy are CRAZY NAMERS. To be fair, "Luke Skywalker Lupin" is better than what Teddy likely wanted ("Simba Aslan Lupin", "Sir Lancelot Lupin", "The Doctor Lupin", etc). They apparently also got nerdier as time went on-- from Susan Delia & Arthur Theodore to Luke Skywalker & Rowena Andromeda. Victoire SORT OF tried to make certain the first names were normal on their own (Rowena is at least, you know, not Princess or Biscuit like Teddy seriously suggested).

→ COLOURS / CODENAMES / THE FAMILY TREE ~IN COLOUR~
• Teddy colour codes everything, INCLUDING PEOPLE. In fact, especially people. He's not about to force his kids to wear certain colours all the time but he does give everyone (or, rather, their name) a colour association. These are used for CODENAMES and PASSWORDS.
• It is generally understood (and underlined in the family law book) that, if need be, the passwords are to be used as verification of other members of the family in the event that there is concern of CLONES or just to prove that they're not lying about whatever. It's encouraged to at least keep their middle-name colours a family secret. [2]
THE FAMILY TREE ~IN COLOUR~
BLUE PEARL + SILVER PEARL (née BLACK)
HOT PINK PEARL + CHOCOLATE TIMBERWOLF
CERULEAN CHOCOLATE TIMBERWOLF + PUMPKIN POWDER BLUE TIMBERWOLF (neé TOMATO)
HELIOTROPE CHERRY TIMBERWOLF
ATOMIC TANGERINE BLUE TIMBERWOLF
MANTIS WHEAT TIMBERWOLF
MINT OUTER SPACE TIMBERWOLF
ROYAL BLUE SILVER TIMBERWOLF
• Graphical colour representation HERE.
• Translations: "Blue" = Theodore, whereas "Cerulean" = Teddy, it's also person specific as Teddy isn't Ted Tonks and therefore DIFFERENTIALS. Therefore Arthur's middle name is a reference to Ted Tonks, not to Teddy. Technically. "Atomic Tangerine" = Arthur, but Arthur Weasley is "Tangerine" (or, rather, Tangerine Tomato).
• FURTHER COLOUR NAMES CAN BE FOUND HERE.
→ OTHER FACTS ABOUT THE FAMILY / HOUSING / PARENTAL WORK
• Victoire and Teddy own a magical toys & clocks shop! (Because toys and clocks totally go together.) Victoire is Head Toymaker and Teddy is Head Clockmaker. It's name? TICK TOCK TOYS; "Lupin's Family Clock and Toy Shoppe, est. 2020".
• They own a large-ish house and area in the country-ish. The better to fit the DUELING ARENA AREA and the OBSTACLE COURSE and the play-pirate ship, among other things.
• In the main sitting room, there is a wall. An ordinary wall, with photographs and whatnot. However, it slides away to reveal the Lupins' extensive silly hat collection used in punishments. Any (un)fortunate friends/family visiting during sentencing may be rather surprised at this.
SKILLS THAT LUPIN CHILDREN LIKELY POSSESS OR HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE OF THANKS TO THEIR INCREDIBLY NERDY PARENTS
- Sword usage (short / broad sword & rapier & lightsaber).
- Bow & arrow usage (short / long / crossbow).
- Cannon firing.
- Nautical & piratical knowledge.
- Emergency first aid (magical & muggle).
- Knowledge of a variety of nerdy books/movies/comics, particularly sci-fi and fantasy.
→ LUPIN FAMILY LAWS REGARDING TIME TRAVEL & PROTOCOL
• After watching a time travel film, Victoire suggested they make up some rules in the event their kids go all Marty McFly and time travel. Most parents are joking when they say that. Victoire and Teddy proceeded to add this page to the LUPIN FAMILY LAW BOOK.[3]
1. EVEN IF I AM OLDER THAN MY PARENTS (THEODORE REMUS LUPIN & VICTOIRE APOLLINE LUPIN/WEASLEY) I WILL OBEY THEM FAITHFULLY AND WITHOUT QUESTION.
2. OR IF I QUESTION THEM I WILL THEN OBEY THEM FAITHFULLY.
3. I WILL NOT REVEAL FAMILY SECRETS TO ANY UNVERIFIED OUTSIDER.
4. I WILL GIVE OUT THE FAMILY PASSWORD TO ANY CLAIMED RELATIVE AND IF THEY ANSWER WITH THE RETURN PASSWORD I WILL CONSIDER THEM VERIFIED.
5. IF I AM OLDER THAN MY PARENTS AND THEY ARE WITHOUT SUPERVISION, I WILL SUPERVISE THEM UNTIL A VERIFIED ADULT CAN SUPERVISE THEM.
6. I WILL ALWAYS KEEP THE NAME TAG CHAIN AROUND MY NECK TO SHOW THAT I AM, IN FACT, A VERIFIED FAMILY MEMBER IF IN THE EVENT THE PASSWORD IS FORGOTTEN[4].
7. IN THE EVENT THAT I HAVE TIME TRAVELED TO THE PAST AND MY PARENTS ARE NOT OF A CERTAIN AGE, I WILL NOT HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE TO THE LAWS SET FORTH BY THE LAWBOOK.
7a. UNLESS SAID LAWS ARE OBVIOUS IN WHICH CASE I WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW.
7b. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO IF MY PARENTS HAVE TRAVELED TO THE FUTURE.
8. IF I SEE A BLUE POLICE BOX, I WILL APPROACH WITH CAUTION BUT WILL KNOCK AND IF POSSIBLE OFFER MY ASSISTANCE TO THE DOCTOR WITH WHATEVER MESS HE'S CAUGHT HIMSELF UP IN.
PROTOCOL
9. When you arrive at your destination, you will determine WHEN and WHERE you are as subtly as possible.
10. NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR REAL NAME UNTIL YOU ARE CERTAIN DOING SO IS BOTH SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE. Instead give out a (believable!!!) fake name.
11. Gather AS MUCH INFO AS POSSIBLE and blend in until you can LOCATE allies.
12. If you find you were brought back/forward in time to SAVE THE WORLD, DO SO, because that's AWESOME.
13. If you are brought back to a time where your parents have yet to get together (i.e. BACK TO THE FUTURE series) YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR MOTHER AND/OR FATHER INTERESTED IN YOU OVER THE APPROPRIATE PARENT and will in fact STAY OUT of their love life lest you start disappearing and break your parent’s hearts.
14. You will avoid IRREPARABLY CHANGING THE FUTURE OR EFFECTING MAJOR EVENTS by doing anything to cause a) non-existence, b) death, c) bodily harm, d) a terrible person taking control of the world, e) the apocalypse, or f) the breaking of your parents' hearts.

OTHER NOTES
HATS AS USED FOR PUNISHMENT
The Viking Yet Not Because If I Recall Vikings Didn't Have Horns.
The Fwibilly Orange Porcupine.
VARIOUS FAMILY CLOCKS
As Teddy is a (master) clockmaker, he's slapped together several family clocks.
THE HEALTH CLOCK: keeps track of how healthy each family member is.
THE MOOD CLOCK: a more-or-less broken clock that keeps track of what mood each family member is feeling.
THE SILLY HAT CLOCK & WATCHES: clock and set of watches to keep track of whether silly hat punishments are being followed as ordered.[8]
THE LIGHTSABERS
Being... them, each family member has a lightsaber. These are displayed on a wall in plain view.
Teddy's is BLUE.
Victoire's is PURPLE.
Susan's is HELIOTROPE (yes, like her colour code name).
IN GAME NOTES
April 4th, Teddy and Victoire "married". These were the rings.[9]
[1] Referred to as the "Sorting Hat Incident", Teddy attempted to steal the Hat for Victoire's birthday. It screamed that it was being hatnapped. The Sorting Hat thusly is unfond of Lupins.
[2] Given that their father is a metamorphmagus (and one of the kids has a fair shot of being one as well) "clones" or shapeshifters are a very realistic concern. Since they're all aware that people can change their appearance at will, it's likely justified that there could be TERRIBLE STRANGER DANGERS also with this ability who might try to impersonate another family member.
[3] The LUPIN FAMILY LAW BOOK is a binder that is kept in the family's kitchen. There are also mini-booklets for specific occasions (road trip booklets, funeral behaviour booklet, pirate ship rules booklet, etc), the past ones which are also kept in the FAMILY LAW BOOK binder along with the sheets of general household rules-- of which there are EXTRA SHEETS in the event that one of the kids needs to a take a page out to wave it in their siblings' face. Or their parents' face. Whichever.
[4] After a certain event (i.e. one of the kids forgot their password/colour codename) the parents decided that everyone needed DOGTAGS with their names on them and date of birth. Whether any of the children actually wear said name tag chain is DEBATABLE. The parents, however, DO.
[5] This rule was added after this actually happened. Teddy and Victoire left a note on the fridge, kids didn't notice it and subsequently PANICKED.
[6] This came about after Teddy attempted to get out of hat punishment (as he was going to an adult thing). He ended up complicating the entire rulebook and the ruling was overturned in court. He did have to wear the hat to the thing, which was awkward. It was THIS hat.
[7] While most court proceedings do tend to be rather loud and involve yelling, this rule comes from a time when Victoire became a bit too exuberant with her shiny new gavel.
[8] Victoire's idea, as she wanted NO ONE to escape their punishment. The only reason that it isn't rigged by Teddy is because she wouldn't let him get away with it. Also, he likes hat punishment... when he's not the one being punished. It came about after Susan attempted to escape hat punishment on a date and was CAUGHT.
[9] Was a trick by the Scientists Delta and Omega, to get them to eat cake laced with calming draught to undo the effects of a Euphoria Potion they'd taken at supper. See here (Victoire proposes), here (Victoire's wedding invite), here (cake undoing the Euphoria Potion), and here (Albus Severus totally cried) for relevant notes.
