Where we left off...

"You better get your act straight Mister or I am sticking with you for the rest of your life... honestly Harry they sent me back from up there" more writing showed. Harry couldn't believe his eyes.

"Ginny?" he asked into thin air...

Chapter 1

The moment he spoke her name, he heard a knock at his door. Remus Lupin was smiling at him with a slight grin on his face. "Alright there Harry?" he asked, chuckling softly.

Harry managed to offer a weak smile back as he quickly tried to hide the page with Ginny's writing.

"I am alright, just marking some papers. Come on in." He said stuffing all the essays in his bag, rather hurriedly, choosing to ignore the raised eyebrow from Remus.

He knew Lupin would think he was being paranoid. Lupin, true to his quiet nature didn't push the matter and moved on. He came in and sat across from Harry, conjuring up a chair and closing the door simultaneously.

"Well I am here to give you some good news Harry." he was smiling broadly now.

"Tonks and I are pregnant, and I wanted you to be the first to know as I want you to be his/her godfather."

After two years of forced smiles, Harry Potter's lips twitched upwards in a genuine gesture. "Wow! Congratulations!" he said, but then thinking about the last part his smile fell slightly. "I am honoured that you have chosen me for this responsibility... but I think Ron and Hermione would be a better choice. It's..."

"No. Don't you dare tell me it's safer, Harry don't you dare... do you know how safe it is to raise a child with a werewolf for a father? So don't you tell me it involves any more risk to have you as his Godfather... Besides I think of you as my son Harry... I was hoping you would be more like a brother but don't give me any reasons that aren't true Harry ... Just don't..." Lupin finished quietly getting up to leave.

Harry had not felt this guilty in a long while. And after the occurrence in the morning he sort of saw the truth in Ginny's words or what he desperately hoped were her words. He was being a conceited git, at least to Lupin who had been nothing but supportive of him throughout. "Wait!" he exclaimed as Lupin reached for the doorknob. "I am honoured that you have chosen me and I can't wait to meet my first God child!" he finished.

Remus Lupin was speechless; he hadn't expected to have such a drastic change from Harry Potter, especially by his words alone, there was something going on. But for now, Harry had agreed and he was smiling and that was a rare moment to be cherished. He turned back and walked to where Harry was standing and took the younger man in a one armed hug.

"Don't be a stranger Harry, Tonks wants you to come over to help pick out baby names." he said, now smiling himself.

"I won't" Harry replied softly, returning the gesture.

Lupin then proceeded to leave with a curt nod and a last smile in Harry's direction. Harry Potter didn't know what to do. He had to understand what was going on, if this was a trick the person behind it would pay but if this was if this was... with a wave of his hand the windows closed and lifting his bag from the table Harry Potter left for his room.

Being the most powerful wizard in the world certainly had its perks. Even though he was one of the youngest on Hogwarts staff, Harry Potter was given one of the biggest rooms for his privacy. And with what he had done, everyone had given in willingly as it was the least they could do. Today was one of the few days he felt like thanking them for their generosity because prior to this event he certainly hadn't noticed any difference.

After performing a locking spell and a sound-proofing spell, Harry took out the papers carefully. He could feel his fingers shaking as he brought it out to the front to read. His heart beat loudly when he realised that instead of the words that had previously occupied the space, there were now the words that she had told him that night,

"I love you Harry and my heart will always be here, no matter where I go."

It was her... but how... Yet for some reason he couldn't think any more, and clutching the paper in a tight fist his eyes closed as he lay on his bed, fast asleep...

Sorry I know it's short but next chapters will be longer ... this was just so I could get it moving... please review!
