A pregnant Ginny Potter was standing in front of the cooking range stirring the soup, while behind her plates and cutlery levitated themselves on to the farm house table. Looking through the French windows in front of her she found herself smiling at the sight taking place on the houses lawn. Her husband had their son James sitting on a broom while Teddy his godson was hovering next to him on a new birthday broom been given instruction on the finer points of flying.
Teddy had been adopted by the couple upon Andromeda's request. She was too old to raise a young child and as Teddy was already calling him Daddy it seemed appropriate. Theodore Lupin-Potter was as his mother was, a Metamorphmagus and bubby in personality. He had her fondness for bright hair colours, and at six was now starting to learn to change his features.
Calling the children and Harry in the family sat down to a family meal. James giggled over the soup, Harry was ladling to him, at Teddy who was changing his nosy between mouthfuls.
'Teddy don't change your nose at the table sweety it might stay like that' said Ginny
Teddy smiled carried on eating.
'After this Teddy your going with Dad into Town to get some new clothes'
'Aww I don't need new clothes Mummy! Im fine!' Teddy instantly moaned
'Your going! And You two remember NO ice cream! Theres plenty in the fridge!' Ginny called from the end of the kitchen as she wiped a wet flannel over James' face.
'C'mon mate, the sooner we go the sooner we get back' Harry grabbed his godson around the middle setting him on his feet, 'and that means lads night in! Pop corn andddddd'
'ICE CREAM!' yelled Teddy. He loved Lads nights in! Those were just for him and Daddy not for Mummy or the baby just them! They ate pop corn played gobstones and THEN Daddy took him on a night broom flight over the river!
'Right' smiled Harry ' get your coat, and stand by the fireā¦'
The boys had finished their shopping, and both agreed they had been very sucessful: five new tshirts, one had torrnados logo on the front (very cool in Teddy's opinion), 3 new pairs of trouses, and a brand new pair of quiditch gloves (Rose and Victoire was going to be so envious!).
They were walking up the high street when Teddy found himself transfixed to a shop window. Tugging on Harry's robe he pulled him to the window of Quality Quiditch supplies, where they both starred avidly into the window.
They must have been there about 15 minutes, Teddy was chattering away. Harry smiled warmly, making eye contact with one of the other parents also at the wondow, looking down he rested his hand on Teddy's head ruffling the now bright blue, floppy locks fondly. A tap on his shoulder made him let go and turn a round. He started slightly, Kingsley or the minister for magic was smiling grimly at him along with five aurors.
There was a flash of weasley red locks and suddenly his vision was obscured by red hair. A flowery smell enveloped his nose. It was Ginny crying heavily into his shoulder. He felt a tug on his sleeve, from Teddy but ignored it pulling his wife closer. 'Whats wrong, Sweatheart?' He asked 'is it James? your mother?..'
'No! Oh Harry you wont believe it! Its impossible but their saying its true! And He wants Teddy! It cant be true!' Ginny babbled
'Wait a minute! No ONE is taking Teddy! We adopted him! He's ours! Who wants him?' Ginny disolved into tears on his shoulder.
Harry looked over her head at Kingsley. 'Who the HELL has upset my wife! Who the HELL thinks they can try and take MY son away from US!' Harry growled
The ministry group looked decidly uncomfortable under the famous auror's wrath. 'WHO?' he demanded again with as much venemem as he could muster.
'Me' said a low voice. Out of the corner of Harry's eye a figure in a gray cloak shifted closer and the hood lowered to revel Teddy's father Remus Lupin.
