During the last part of the war, Draco Malfoy had joined the Order, allowing he and Harry to reconcile their differences and move forward with their relationship. Yes, they still had their moments of rivalry, but those were few and far between. Along the way while learning about Draco, Harry came to find out that his ex-rival and the wife of one of his best friends, as well as father figures were cousins.

It took quite a while for that to make sense to him, but once it did, he realized it didn't matter. Until Tonks called them both over during a break in an Order meeting.

"Harry, Draco," she smiled, "Remus and I have been discussing some things about the baby," she rubbed her almost-nine-months-pregnant stomach, "and we've decided that we want you, Harry, to be the godfather."

Harry was speechless, "I-Uh, wow... Okay... Thank you," after Draco had pulled out a chair and he had sat down.

"And we want you both there at the hospital when the baby's born as well," Remus stepped in, offering the other chunk of news.

It wasn't long before Draco joined Harry in staring off into space.


Remus Lupin, Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy and the rest of their family and friends hurried into the hospital, with Tonks in a wheelchair and in labor with her and Remus' first child. Remus signed her in, and was about to go with her, but she stopped him.

"Want Harry... and Draco... Remus, stay..." she managed.

Shocked but willing, Harry, as the potential godfather, and Draco, as the cousin to this unborn child, helped Tonks to her room, leaving Remus to wait outside.

It was a long, hard labor, but it was almost over.

"Breathe, good girl," Harry was sitting on the bed behind his friend's wife, rubbing her lower back next pain came and she bent foreward, huffing, while Draco, who was holding her right knee, encouraged her.

"I see the head! C'mon Tonks!"

After three more pushes, the baby came free, Remus' golden-brown hair blessing his head. At the first cry, Tonks collapsed against Harry, and Draco stared at the small being in awe.

"It's a boy," the doctor smiled.

In a little while, Remus was with his wife in her room, holding his son for the first time.

"He's beautiful.." he stroked the mop of hair his son had, knowing his son had the ability to become a werewolf just by the amount of hair the boy had, "He reminds me of a teddy bear..."

"That'll be his name," Tonks said sleepily, "Teddy... Teddy Lupin..."

"I love it," Remus bent to kiss his wife, "Welcome to the world, Teddy Lupin."

The boy yawned, curling into his father's chest before falling asleep.
