A/N
Hello Everyone!
Well, this is my first story that I am making available to the world and, to be honest, I'm a little nervous about it.
But anyways, this is kind of a fan fiction of a fan fiction lol. I suggest you read 'Will You Be My Daddy?' By 'FanofBellaandEdward' first. It served as my inspiration and it's really good! Heres the link to it .net/s/6132240/1/Will_you_be_my_daddy Just add 'www.' and 'fanfiction' to the begging of it.
Also, as a warning, latter on in this story there will (at least there is planned to be) slash between Teddy Lupin and Louis Weasley as well as between Teddy and an OC. So, if that bothers you, I suggest you just find a different story to read. :)
And I also messed with their ages. Like, quite a bit. So if you can't handle that maybe you should leave as well lol
DISCLAIMER: Most all of the characters in this story belong to J.K Rowling with the exception of a few belonging to FanofBellaandEdward and some to me. The world of Harry Potter and all the awesomness it entails belongs to J.K. Rowling. And other stuff does too. lol
Chapter One: The Parting
Teddy Lupin was currently donning light brown hair and eyes that matched. He hoped the colors were neutral enough to make him blend in. He didn't really have a problem with people and normally wasn't very shy at all but today was a tremendous day for him and he couldn't help but be nervous. Today was his very first day attending Hogwarts. He didn't want to stand out unnecessarily. He would already be talked about on account of the fact that his blood father was a werewolf and his godfather was the Harry Potter. The Harry Potter who had married his arch enemy, the very same one whose father was a death eater, and bore the man two children even though he was a male himself. None of those things particularly mattered to Teddy but he knew from experience that not everyone in the wizarding society was pleased with their former saviors choices. He was expecting to catch more than a little flack from his fellow students.
Giving himself one last look in the mirror, he hurried down the stairs to join his waiting family.
"Ready to leave Teddy?" Harry asked him as he shifted the three year old Conall a little higher on his hip.
"I think so. You have my trunk right?" Teddy replied and walked over to them.
"Yes, right here in my pocket." Harry answered. They had shrunk Teddys trunk to the size of an envelope to make transporting it to the train station easier.
"Then I suppose that's it. Shall we go?" Draco asked from his place beside Harry. He was holding the two month old Lillians car seat in one hand and Scorpiuss hand in his other.
"Right, we wouldn't want to miss the train." Harry said with a smile and reached his hand out to Teddy. Teddy grabbed it and they all walked over to the fire place where they proceeded to floo themselves to the train station. The floo system was a rather new addition to platform nine and three quarters but it made traveling there a lot easier for most.
Once they were all out of the fire place and onto the platform Teddy couldn't help but gape slightly at the enormous red engine that would be carting him away to Hogwarts in just under a half hour. Beside him Scorpius was gaping at it even more obviously. Harry and Draco shared a smile at their sons awed faces and hanging jaws.
"Papa, when can I ride the train to Hogwarts?" Scorpius asked his father without taking his eyes off the engine.
"In about three years." Draco chuckled.
"Three years!" Scorpius exclaimed and looked up at his father with wide eyes.
"Yes Scorpius, three years." Draco chuckled again and Harry had to hide a smile at the boys outrage.
"But that's three whole years away! Do you know how long that is?" Scorpius asked of his father.
"Why, if I'm not mistaken Scorpius, its about three years long." Draco said in a serious voice. Trying to hide the smile that pulled at his lips.
"It's not just three years papa! It's a whole life time!" Scorpius said and waved his hands at his side. This time Harry, Draco, and Teddy all three laughed outright.
"Don't you think your exaggerating a little Scorpius?" Teddy said, forgetting his nervousness for a moment.
"Not at all." Scorpius said with an indignant tone. "Ask Conall. For him, three years is an exact life time." They all laughed again which made Scorpius cross his arms and huff. He didn't get why they thought it was so funny.
Before anyone could say anything else though, a small family of redheads came through the fire place behind them. Well, actually only the father and the smallest son were redheads. The mother, a little girl, and the eldest son had curly brown hair. They took a few steps away from the fire place and dusted their clothes off before the parents froze. They ware staring at Harry and Draco, who were staring straight back. Teddy looked at them closer and his eyes widened when he recognized them. The couple behind them were none other than Ron and Hermione Weasley. Teddy vaguely remembered them from when he was four and Harry had been dating Ginny Weasley. His father used to be best friends with them but they had had a falling out over Rons whore of sister Ginny. Soon after that they had left for France with their three year old son. Teddy assumed that was the brown haired boy now looking between his parents and Teddys parents with confusion.
"Is that actually you Harry?" The woman said and walked over to them, dragging the eldest son along with her since they were holding hands.
"It's actually me Hermione." Harry said with a nervous chuckle and shifted so he faced her more directly. "What are you doing here?" he asked kindly.
"Well it's Wendells first year of school." Hermione said with a slight smile and gently guided the boy in front of her where she placed her hands on his shoulders.
"He's attending Hogwarts? I thought you lived in France now." Harry said with genuine curiosity.
"We decided to move back so Wendell could go where we did as children. It didn't seem right to send him off to that French place." Ron said, moving to stand next to his wife.
"That makes sense I suppose." Harry said with a smile and shifted awkwardly. Before the silence grew too uncomfortable, Hermione took yet another step forward and reached her hand out to Conall who was still in Harrys arms. Teddy noticed Draco stiffen slightly as she did.
"Harry is this your little boy?" she asked with a delighted smile and gently gripped the tots little fist. Conall smiled shyly at her.
"I suppose you heard all about it then." Harry said and couldn't help the small blush that reached his cheeks.
"The whole bloody nation heard about it Harry. Even the ogres probably know about it." Ron grunted when Hermione turned around and slapped his arm.
"Honestly Ron, when will you ever learn some tact!" she hissed before turning back to Conall.
"Right, sorry Harry. I didn' mean anythin' by it." He said as his face turned slightly red. No doubt he was thinking about how rude the words had sounded. Something that was so typical of Ron. To think only AFTER he spoke.
"No problem Ron." Harry said with a slight smile and Teddy noticed Dracos frown. He looked slightly disappointed for some reason.
Just then George Wesley and his Family came walking over to them.
"Ron!" George cried with a huge grin on his face. "I see you found your way to the station alright." He slapped Ron hardily on the back.
"Yeah, it wasn' too hard George." Ron said as he rolled his eyes.
"Harry, Draco, you two have plans for after you drop Teddy off?" George asked as he ruffled Teddys hair, who smiled at the action. He had always been fond of George.
"Not really, why?" Harry said and Draco frowned again. He was being uncharacteristically quite and civil for some reason but his expression still portrayed his annoyance.
"We were planing on going out to lunch after the kids are all safely on their way to Hogwarts." Hermione informed them. "Maybe you and Draco would care to join us?" she added with hope evident in her voice. Harry glanced back at Draco who was borderline scowling but he shrugged anyways. It was a sign of acceptance. So long as it was what Harry wanted. Draco was aware of how much Harry had missed his friends. Even though Harry didn't dwell on it, Draco sometimes caught him looking nostalgic and sad. If making up with his old friends would please Harry, then Draco was willing to suffer through their company.
Harry smiled a tiny thank you before turning back to the Weasleys. "I think we can manage that." he said with a smile.
"Great! Now that that's settled, lets get these kids on the train before it leaves without them!" George said and began leading the way to the train.
Teddy and his family fell in last and Teddy found himself swallowed by nerves again. He didn't even bother to listen to Scorpius asking who everyone was as he contemplated his fears. What if he was the only first year who wasn't eleven? His birthday had fallen in such a time of year that he was now twelve instead of the usual eleven. Almost all first years were eleven. What if he did bad in his classes? If he did badly all the other students would undoubtedly make fun of him. He would be older than them and yet they would be smarter than him. He wouldn't be able to stand that. He was also worried about what the other kids would say about him having two males for parents. Even if one of them was Harry Potter (technically Harry Malfoy now though) there would be some who would make fun of him for it. And worst of all, what if he got placed in Slytherin? Draco was a Slytherin and Harry always said that he himself had almost been placed there but Teddy didn't think he would be able to stand it. Slytherins were notoriously cruel and Teddy was sure they would pick him apart with their sly insults to his heritage that, thanks to Rita Skeeter and the blasted Daily Prophet, was common knowledge. He wasn't ashamed of it, but he didn't like the sneers he so often received.
They reached the train cars and Teddy put his worries on the back burner once again. Before climbing on board Draco stopped and pulled him into a hug.
"Harry can take you on and we'll wait here okay? It's a little too crowded for us all to come on with you." Teddy nodded and hugged Draco back. An action that had become familiar between them. "Try not to get into as much trouble as your dad did Teddy." Draco said with a grin as Teddy pulled back.
"And which dad do you mean exactly?" Harry said with a raised eyebrow.
"I mean all three of us." Draco chuckled, including himself with Harry and Teddys real father. Harry frowned and Teddy grinned.
"I'll try my best Draco." He said, still not in the habit of calling Draco his father even after three long years of being family. Scorpius then half tackled him into a squeezing hug and buried his face in Teddys slightly higher chest.
"You have to remember everything that happens Teddy!" Scorpius demanded. "You have to remember it and tell it all to me when you come back!" he pulled back and looked firmly into Teddys eyes, waiting for him to promise.
"Alright Scorpius, I'll tell you everything exciting." Teddy said with a laugh and ruffled Scorpiuss perfectly combed hair, leaving it not so perfect.
"No, you'll tell me everything! Even the boring things too!" Scorpius insisted as he tried to flatten his hair again.
"Okay okay, I will." Teddy smiled and knelt down next to Lillians carrier where she was cooing contentedly. Teddy reached in and poked her pudgy cheek, making her giggle.
"I'll tell you all about it too Lil, alright? Be a good girl for dad and Draco." He cooed to the little girl and she laughed again. Teddy then stood up and walked over to Conall who was being held by Harry. He held out his arms towards Teddy and whined. Teddy happily took him from Harry who was smiling at the touching scene of his son saying good bye to his family. There was a time when Teddy had been against anyone joining his and Harrys happy little life but now it was obvious that Teddy was going to miss them all terribly. Conall snuggled into Teddys neck and in return Teddy squeezed him tight.
"I'm going to miss you, you little runt." He said softly and Harry noticed Teddys eyes start to get watery. Teddy and Conall had developed a surprising bond. Even though Teddy had been avidly against Conall before he had been born, once Teddy had held the tiny baby in his arms and even given him his name, they had been extremely close. Teddy spent hours playing with Conall (and even Scorpius too sometimes) and in return Conall adored the boy. He was sometimes more content to go to Teddy then either of his parents. Saying goodbye to Teddy and not seeing him for moths would undoubtedly make the child heartbroken.
"Teddy stay here." Conall half whined half pleaded into Teddys neck.
"I can't Conall, I have to go on my adventure remember?" Teddy said and the little boy pulled back to look at Teddys face.
"H'warts venture?" The little boy asked.
"MmHmm. The Hogwarts adventure. Remember I told you how I would tell you stories about it?"
"Yes." Conall sniffed.
"Well I have to go and have the adventure before I can tell you the stories." Teddy explained.
"I go venture too." Conall said with a pout.
"But then the stories would be boring." Teddy reasoned. Conall frowned as he contemplated that before he sighed.
"Otay. I wait for venture to be aw gone." Conall sighed and Teddy hugged him close with a smile.
"That's a good runt. Now you have to go to papa okay?" Teddy said and turned to Draco.
"Otay. Bye Bye 'eddy." Conall leaned close and gave Teddy a sloppy kiss before he was handed over to Draco, who was also smiling at the exchange. If he were a lesser man he would have been jealous of the connection Conall shared with Teddy, but Conall loved him a fair amount too so he put up with the cuteness. Not that he would admit it was cute.
Teddy sighed and turned back to Harry.
"Ready?" Harry asked and held out his hand with a smile.
"As ready as I'll get." Teddy said and grabbed Harrys hand. He tuned and waved to them all before Harry led him onto the train. They found an empty compartment and Harry sat Teddys trunk in the overhead rack before he enlarged it to its regular size. He then turned to Teddy who was bitting his lower lip and looking suspiciously close to tears. Harry could feel tears forming in his own eyes and quickly pulled the boy to him for a hug. Teddy hugged back desperately.
"I'll miss you dad." He said in a broken voice. Harry inhaled and pulled him closer.
"I'll miss you too son." He said softly. "I'm sure you'll do well no matter what. Try to make friends and remember that no matter what I will always be proud of you sweetie." Teddy just nodded into his dads stomach, not trusting his voice. Afer a moment Harry pulled back so Teddy was at arms length and he squeezed his shoulders gently.
"And always be proud of who you are Teddy. You couldn't be more perfect if you tried." Harry said with a watery smile and Teddy just nodded again. He was struggling to keep the tears out of his eyes.
"Well, I suppose I better get off before the train pulls away, huh?" Harry said with a weak chuckle.
"Yeah, I guess you better." Teddy said, just managing to keep his voice steady.
"Well...Goodbye then." Harry said and pulled him in for one last hug before he turned and exited the compartment.
A/N
Well, there you have it. Chapter One!
I kind of feel like it might be a little choppy when it switches sentences and paragraphs and what not. I also feel like I failed at Conalls speech...
I would really appreciate and feedback or suggestions I get so, Please review! :)
