Harry gives Teddy a very special gift before he leaves for his first year at Hogwarts. Drabble.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of this.

Andromeda Tonks pulled her Grandson into a final bone crushing hug as the warning whistle to board the Hogwarts Express sounded. She wasn't ready to let him go. Harry shifted beside her so she quickly pecked Teddy on the forehead, smoothed his hair, whispered she loved him and released him. Harry grinned at his Godson and sheparded him over to the train, out of Andromeda's hearing range. He pulled a scrap of parchment out of his pocket and passed it to Teddy.

Teddy's eyes widened in a mixture of surprise and delight. "Is this...what about James?"

"I think you'll appreciate its origins more then he will." Harry told him with a wink. "Now, get on the train or you'll have to sit with the lady who drives the trolley."

Teddy threw his arms around Harry, muttering a quick thanks and goodbye before dashing onto the train, eager not to let Harry see his moistening eyes.


Teddy shut the curtains around his bed and hastily pulled the map from his pocket. He muttered the appropriate words and with a tap of his wand ink began to flow across the parchment. Swirling letters formed before his eyes.

'Mr. Moony welcomes young Mr. Lupin to Hogwarts, and would feel honored to give him the grand tour.'
