I sneak into the house yawning making sure to be silent so that I don't wake Ginny or Teddy. I pad quietly through the kitchen and glance at the kitchen table out of habit, I smile when I notice the similar note and cup of tea. The note always says hi sweetie glad your back I was lonely without you don't forget to drink your tea I made you love Ginny. I touch the cup and grimace stone cold warming charms must have worn off since I've been getting back a lot later than I usually do this past month since myself and the other aurors have caught a new lead on veela slaves being sold. I dump the contents of the cup down the sink like I've been doing for the past month and place the cup back on the table and slip upstairs and check on Teddy my godson I smile when I see him fast asleep. I sneak over then press a kiss to his forehead then frown when I notice the tear tracks on his face, and frown even more when I notice the smell hasn't he even been changed. Teddy wakes then probley because he recognises my scent and starts whimpering holding his arms out to me.

"Hey little guy haven't you been changed?" I murmur gently

I scoop him up and carry him to his changing table and quickly change him but I'm scowling when I'm done Teddy has bad nappy rash which comes from not being changed regularly. What was Ginny thinking she said it was fine looking after him what was I thinking I've seen the jealous Ginny gives Teddy when she thinks I'm not looking. But when I ask her about it everything gets hazy and all I can think of is how beautiful Ginny is and how much I love her. I suddenly get a bad feeling something isn't right I decide to ask Mione as soon as I can.

"Hey Teddy want to sleep with me cub" I ask warmly cuddling him close

"Yep" Teddy says giggling smiling I carry Teddy to my room

"Harry baby I missed you" Ginny purrs

I grimace at that I've only just realised how much I hate being called baby I don't understand what's happening its like stepping out of fog and realising everything is not like I thought it would be.

"What's the baby doing here?" Ginny asks sharply snapping me out of my thoughts

Teddy starts whimpering at that and I hold him closer whispering reassurances Scath is growling in my head to kill the bitch for tricking them and scaring their cub tricking I think getting that bad feeling again I always try to listen to my animagus instincts and at the moment they are growling at me to kill the bitch and protect my cub.

"Teddy has severe nappy rash which comes from not being changed regularly so he's sleeping with me you said you were fine looking after him if you won't then I'm pretty sure Hermione will help me out" I accuse

A flash of panic and then jealously appears on Ginny's face then is gone "OH Harry I'm so sorry it's just I felt a bit ill today so I wasn't thinking properly!" she wails

I wince slightly at the pitch and notice with amusement Teddy did the same. Is it just me or did that sound like a dramatic excuse.

"Oh Harry I might have left the snakes in the garden by accident how silly of me why don't you leave Teddy here and go and get them!" Ginny gasps dramatically

I narrow my eyes slightly at the sly, mean look in her eyes I try to think of what she's up to but the hazy feeling is threatening to drown me again "no it's fine I'll put Teddy in his room" I hear myself reply.

I carry Teddy to his room and set him down on the mat "I'll be right back cub" I say lovingly putting a pile of toys near him.

I quickly move downstairs to the back door opening it I call out "Sal, Zara you out here"

"Over here by the shed!" Zara calls faintly

I quickly move over to the shed and curse at the state of them Ginny should know better than leaving a snake outside on a cold night. I cast multiple warming charms on them then scoop the both of them up. Sal I draped over my shoulders cursing the red haired hyena I try not to laugh at that. Zara is wrapped round my arm I quickly move back into the house silently closing the back door. I move quietly up the stairs then pause confused why is Ginny in Teddy's room she never goes into that room, I listen intently then grit my teeth furious at the cold tone Ginny is using.

"listen here you little brat Harry is mine that means I am the most important person in his life so you need to stop crying and be quiet so Harry pays more attention to me!" she snarls coldly

I smirk at Teddy's defiant "Hawy mine daddy like me more!"

I stalk towards the room and just reach the doorway to see Ginny shriek and slap Teddy across the face. My magic explodes at that and I'm beyond furious my magic rips away the hazy fog pulling hidden memories to the front of my mind. Ginny drugging me with love potion, Ginny trying to get me to sign my vaults over to herself, her mother and Ron, Ginny using my fame to get whatever she wants, Ginny and Ron planning the betrayal out and now Ginny had hit my godson my cub. With a flick of my hand Ginny is pinned against the wall she stares at me with wide, terrified eyes as I prowl into the room my magic whipping about me furiously. I scoop Teddy up gently cradling him against my chest

"No Ginny you're wrong you were never the most important person in my life and you knew it so that's why you drugged me!"

I cut myself off from saying more as I could tell that the loud roars of accusation were scaring Teddy, I rock him calming him as I had my magic pack all of mine and Teddy's things I can't stomach the thought of staying in this house were Ginny lied to me for a year maybe lied to me since 6th year since thinking about it I suspiciously became infatuated with her during that summer when Mrs Weasley was sending me food. I grab our trunks shrink them and shove them into my pocket.

"Know that I'm informing the Wizargamont about this you'll probley be in Azkaban tonight" I say coldly

I let Ginny drop to the floor stalking out of the house ignoring Ginny's shrieks and screams to come back and that she didn't mean to. I apparate to Hermione and Ron's house remembering that Ginny planned this out with Ron so that means that Hermione has probley been drugged as well. I toss my invisibility cloak over myself and Teddy casting silencing spells over us as well and sneak inside the back door. I snort when I see Ron passed out on the sofa beer cans littering the ground around him. Such an inspirational auror Moody would have flayed him alive constant vigilance and all that I head into the study and smile at the familiar sight, of Hermione curled up in an armchair with a thick book.

"Mione" I say slipping the cloak of me and cancelling the silencing spells not like Ron would hear

"Harry, Teddy what are you both doing here are you ok?" Hermione asks jumping up a worried look on her face

"Not really we need to go to Gringotts I need to check something!" I reply an urgent tone in my voice

"What have the ministry done now?!" Hermione mutters in an annoyed tone

I can't help but laugh softly when she stalks out of the room looking remarkably like her animagus form

"Harry stop laughing you know how incompetent the ministry is I mean the war wouldn't of been half as bad if we had a competent ministry but one year later after Kingsley was assassinated what do they do make an idiot minister!" Hermione rants scowling stalking back into the room and shoving her shrunken trunk into her pocket.

At my raised eyebrow and questioning look at her trunk Mione shrugs "my animagus instincts say that I'm not going to be returning here"

I shrug and roll my eyes at that nothing gets past Mione and reply to her rant " too true about the ministry but then again can't expect better since there are stuck in stagnation too prideful to take muggle ideas too stubborn to change and you know it's scary that you knew I was laughing even when you weren't in the room" I tease lightly clearing the tension I miss Kingsley he was a fair minister and a great man after the war we would usually train in duelling and combat together.

"What can I say I know you well Harry" Hermione replies warmly distracting me from my sad thoughts

"But not as well as I know Ron, Ron always understands me" Hermione sighs a familiar hazy look in her eyes.

I feel a flash of panic at that then can't help but feel fucking furious at my so called best friend. My eyes flash to the open doorway and the lone form passed out on the sofa my hand inches towards the knife concealed on my thigh it would be so easy to slit his throat right now I think darkly. How dare he take advantage of my best friend the one person I can solely depend on. A soft touch to my shoulder brings me out of my thoughts.

"Harry whatever he has done don't get sent to Azkaban for it think of Teddy and I'd be angry if you got blood on my carpet" Hermione says soothingly I can't help but snort in laughter at the last part.

"How did you know it'll be bloody I could have been thinking about cursing the little shit?!" I ask smirking

Mione stares meaningfully at my hand is clenching my knife tightly "right" I mutter ignoring the smirk on Mione's face

"To Gringotts then" I say disapparating with a crack Hermione followed a second later smirk still in place.
