Years after Remus & Tonks die, a muggle will surfaces that redirects guardianship of Teddy to a relative in the States; St Louis, Missouri to be specific. When all he's even known is in jeopardy, the young wizard decides he will not go quietly in the night, but he won't let his father's family slip through his fingers so easily. Can he get his cake and eat it too, or will Teddy have to decide between the family he's known and the family he's just been given?


Harry James Potter looked from the two lawyers across from him to his beloved beside of him, formerly Ginny Weasley, youngest child and only daughter of the now famous red-headed wizarding family. Although her hair had darken to a deep auburn over the years, she still had the fire, the passion, deep in her eyes that had first surfaced during their "Dumbledore's Army" days.

Now, after the lawyers had explained the situation and what they had available, her eyes were flaring dangerously around the edges. She would not sit idly by while these lawyers ripped her family apart. Ginny still had a wicked Boogey-Bat Hex and she was sorely tempted. Her hand twitched and flexed over the hidden pocket of her pants where her want laid safely hidden. As if reading her mind, Harry grabbed the hand in question, rubbing his thumb over her knuckles. He understood, he really did, but they couldn't react using their war-honed instincts. This dilemma required eloquence and civility.

Where was Hermione when they needed her?
