"You've got to take care of him Harry! That's what they wanted. You are his Godfather and besides, he has no one else. Everyone is building up the wizarding world after the war, but you have done enough." Hermione gave him a concerned glance. "I honestly think you need a break from everything, and what would be bettet if not raising a child! Me and Ron will help of course, and you always have Ginny you know."
Harry stared at the floor with an unreadable face. There was a long and quitw uncomfortable silence and then he finally spoke.
"Are you sure you will even want to help? You will find it incredibly boring, I mean, you have been stuck with me for ages and how fun has that been. Nearly getting killed every year in school, that doesn't sound like my dream." He was so bitter! How would she be able to make him do it?
"Harry, our years in school has been fantastic, and most of the time we acctually had fun! You just want to remember the bad parts, don't you? And we are not tired of you, we love you! Friendship is the strongest bond anyone can have to anyone, remember that."
When she looked at him she realised she had tears in her eyes, and so did Harry. The big drops ran fast over his face and he covered it with his hands.
"Please Harry, now that Andromeda is dead. At least do it for Remus!" He suddenly leaned against her and hugged her with his stong arms, covering his wet face in her big hair.
"Of course I will Hermione! I'll do it for all of you." She took a breath of relief and closed her eyes, tears still flooding down her cheeks.
Eleven years later
"Harry, Ginny look at me! Doesn't it look great??? At least I think so!" Teddy was dancing around in his new Hogwarts robes and both Harry and Ginny where laughting happily at the exited eleven year old. His hair today was short amd curly and cherry coloured and his eyes where a beautiful brown colour.
"Yes, it totally does!" Harry answered with a big smile on his lips. "But you've got to change to your muggle clothes now, so we can get to the platform safely!".
Teddy sadly got changed and packed his robes. Now he started to get anxious again and the hair turned all straight and black. He packed his stuff and then sat down on a stool in the empty hall. After some time Ginny came by and saw the little boy. She instanly saw that he was feeling bad and sat down on the floor at his side.
"Hey, love. How are you?" She asked with a sweet voice. He looked up and into her eyes.
"I.. I'm scared" He admitted and looked down onto the floor again.
"Oh, sweetie, it will be alright! I was just as anxious as you are, but I can assure you that this will be the best year of your life. And you can write to us as often as you want and you will se us a christmas!"
He smiled and the hair turned back to the curly cherry again.
"Thak you!" He said and hugged her for a long time.
