Harry Potter was in a daze. It was only four weeks after the final battle and everything he though he knew and everyone he thought he knew has been usurped. There had been times during the war where he felt he was living on borrowed time and wanted to live to the best of his abilities. Losing Sirius was the catalyst for him. Harry promised himself that if he ever made it through the war alive he would live his life his way.

Harry wanted to speak to someone but there were few people that would speak to him normally anymore. There were those who feared him and those who praised him. No one accepted that he did what he had to do not because he was seeking fame or glory or even revenge but because living with the constant belief that someone out there wanted to kill you first you did what you had to do.

Once when Harry was younger he overheard two men on the telly saying when you know someone is going to kill you, you rise early and kill them first. And each night the only thing that kept the nightmares away was the knowledge that all those who gave their lives in the war had been avenge. No death was left unpunished. For the price of all the lives was death: death of one man who feared death, love and truth.

All the signs of life that surrounded him, the heartbeat of the most inconspicuous bug and insects these were the things that made Harry feel more alive than he normally would. They celebrated his joy and his sadness. He was a constant contradiction of joy and sadness and peace and calm. Glad the fight was over but sad it was gone. Because it was the fight that made him stronger, made him knew the strengths he would go for those he valued and loved

Sometimes, when Harry got morose, as one sometimes do, he thought about how much he had in common with Tom Riddle. Both were orphans. Both were mistreated by those entrusted with their care. Both had the power to command others. However, Harry always tried to think about the differences; the fact that Harry loved wholeheartedly, killed reluctantly and even though he knew it was naïve he thought everyone should get along. The thing that Harry worried about was how much Teddy Lupin could turn out like either Tom Riddle or him. It all depended on his care.

A few weeks went by and Harry felt his life was settled. With the way the Wizarding world was recovering, Harry felt that he wanted to become reacquainted with Muggle Britain a bit more. The problem with the Wizarding World was how small it was and the problem with small town and places was everyone knew your business. Harry hadn't heard much from most people outside of the Weasley's after his obvious contempt for those who met him with a form of reverence. He heard the whispers how he was stringing along that nice Weasley girl. How he wasn't doing his duty to the Wizarding World by not continuing the Potter-Black lines. No one wanted to know what he wanted. No one cared. Once again he was expected to bow to the demands of everyone else.

When the invitation came to his engagement party it was with a sick feeling of foreboding that Harry flooed the Weasley's. He was pretty sure he would remember him proposing to someone.

"Molly, I received an owl this morning about an engagement party…"

Harry trailed off because he honestly didn't know if it was a statement or a question. Molly however, looked unfazed.

"Yes Harry, it's been months since the final battle. We need to get everything rolling again. Ginny showed us the rings and if we keep the wedding by the end of next month we can have you both settled into married life before the baby is due."

"Baby? Molly, there must be some mistake Ginny and I haven't been intimate that way, there has to be some misunderstanding. Some serious misunderstanding, someone need to fill me in because there will be no wedding."

"Harry, I understand you might feel nervous and have cold feet but to deny Ginny that way is cruel. No more of that, be sure to floo over by six. "

"Molly, I can't I have Teddy today and he doesn't like crowds and I'm not engaged." However, before Harry was able to finish his sentence Molly was off to do whatever it is that one does to get ready for an engagement party that the supposed future groom was unaware of.

Harry was more than a little puzzled with the sudden change of things however, he was going to see his godson today and he was more than a little excited. Andromeda had seemed a little off the last time he visited and he was anxious to check in on both of them. However, any calm Harry had was quickly dispelled when he apparated outside the Tonk's new home and heard the unmistakable wailing of Teddy. Teddy, who usually only laughed or watched quietly. As Harry watched from the front entrance how calmly Andromeda sat and listened and made no movements to comfort Teddy, Harry was horrified. The glaze look in her eyes didn't speak well for him but Harry grew angry as he coughed to gain her attention.

"Is there a reason you are sitting there and Teddy is crying?"

Andromeda jumped at the unexpected voice. "Harry, I wasn't expecting you. Would you like some tea?"

Harry didn't know if he should be angry or saddened by the distant way Andromeda looked at him.

"I said, is there a reason Teddy is crying?" But has he repeated the question he realized he wasn't interested in her answer and he walked off to get his godson.

When Harry reached the nursery his heart nearly broke with what he saw. Teddy was wailing and stretching his little arms out and stiffening his feet. His wails nipped at Harry's heart and it took everything for Harry not to snatch him to his chest. It was with great care that he reminded himself that he was there now and able to help. As he picked up Teddy, so unused to contact Teddy stiffened and nearly fell out of his arm. As he looked around the closest bottle was curdled and left uncovered for who knew how long. Surveying the room Harry realized that even Teddy's nappy stuck to him suspiciously like a soiled diaper that dried a few times. It was then Harry noticed the stench.

Harry walked out of the room with teddy in his arm silently crying. He knew that he couldn't leave him here. As he walked back to the sitting room, Andromeda sat there with to tea places set and waiting for him.

"Have, you finished washing up Harry? You've been gone for ages."

Whether it was deliberate or unfortunate Harry noticed how Andromeda seemed to look through Teddy. Harry watched, as the smile didn't quite reach her eyes. He watched as she grimaced each time she saw Teddy. It was so minuet Harry only saw it he realized, because he was looking for it.

"Andromeda, I'm invoking my rights as godfather. I'll take Teddy home with me."

There were no arguments, no pleading, and no wishes of visitation. Without a court struggle Harry became a father.

"Sir, may I help you?

Harry cursed internally, because he knew that once he was spotted news would spread. As he went to answer, he heard a voice he hadn't heard in a months.

"Potter, I know it might be outside your scope of intellect but surely you know that babies need more clothes than what the child in your arm is currently wearing."

A few months ago Harry would've had a wand in Draco's face so fast it would've set a record but since they weren't enemies he suppose a sneer would have to do. He and Draco had formed a penpal sort of relationship but they hadn't really seen each other. Harry still remember when the first letter had came from Draco with a written apology for some of the things he had instigated when they were school, apparently he wanted closure and to offer some and they'd develop a teasing form of friendship that Harry was sure bordered on flirting at times.

"Malfoy, I have neither the time nor patience for you. Make yourself useful." With that Harry walked away and when he didn't hear Draco's steps behind he looked back expectantly. "Well," began Harry "Are you waiting for a special invitation?"

It was a strange sight to all who thought they knew of the rivalry between the two men. Harry hands began to grow tired and as he collected all the things he thought a baby would need Draco became more involved in watching Harry and Teddy.

"May I hold my cousin?"

It took Harry a while to figure it out but when he began to say no Draco's disappointed face caused him to rethink.

"Just for a few minutes but, it is not you personally why I was saying no. I just got him a few minutes ago and it took me a while to get him to settle. I'm afraid he'll get upset again."

As Harry watched Draco drew his wand Harry drew his own too. Draco saw this and was quick to explain, "Potter I'm running a diagnosis scan on him. Put the wand away and get some Throat Soothing Potions. His throat is warm and that rash on his bum will give him a warm time."

Harry was finished and disheartened and scolded himself for the lack of foresight. He was the one to hear Teddy crying from outside and he never thought his poor throat would be sore.

As Harry gave the slip for the withdrawal from his Gringotts account he suddenly realized he was responsible for another person's life on a day-to-day basis. He knew feeding a child was not the most important thing. How will he handle knowing that the magical, emotional and physical well being of his godson was his day-to-day responsibility? Harry reminded himself that these are the times when doubt would try to creep up on him but he had to keep holding on that he had Teddy's best interest at heart and if he kept holding on to that he could do it. He just needed to believe in himself.

As Harry walked back to the main part of Diagonal Alley Draco continued to hold Teddy. Harry was happy and surprised to notice that Draco was surprisingly good with babies, if the way he handled Teddy was any indication.

Harry went to call for the Knight Bus, when Draco asked him why he didn't Floo.

"With a baby?"

"Yes, anti-soot spell. And a firm grip and he won't end up in a fireplace in France."

As Harry wondered how safe for his mind it was that he had invited Draco Malfoy in his home his mind suddenly reminded him that he had Teddy and the very idea terrified him and excited him at the same time. As he busied himself unshrinking all that he had purchased he noticed that Draco was changing Teddy on his lap and he saw him apply some healing balm Harry knew Draco must've picked up or had in his pocket. Teddy obviously felt relieved because his happy gurgles were back and he was snuggling up to Draco.

Harry went to go upstairs to finish the rest of his unpacking and when he came downstairs he heard the tail end of a conversation between Draco and what must've been a house elf.

"Thanks Misty,"

"Misty be happy to help young Master. Is there anything else Master needs?"

"No Misty, I shall be at the Manor shortly tell him to have supper without me."

Harry said," I hope I am not keeping you from someone or something else?"

Draco seemed to consider what it is he wanted to say, "He understands."

Harry made to take the baby from Draco when he noticed that Teddy was hungrily drinking down a bottle and from the empty bottle next to Draco this must've been his second bottle.

"I'm sorry for imposing on you but I figured you must've been busy and he was beginning to get fussy so I call my personal elf so I know she could be trusted."

"It's not an issue, I will have to get the hang of it shortly, don't judge me too shortly do you mind holding him while I make dinner for us? You will stay for dinner won't you?

Draco was shocked. To be invited in Harry Potter's home and to be asked to dinner although he and him had been communicating for months and they had never taken that step even though sometimes Draco was sure thy were flirting, he had to keep reminding himself it wasn't a date. He had to bite his tongue to keep from squealing because everyone knows that Malfoys don't squeal.

Harry didn't often cook. However, he was a great chef and as he diced tomatoes and stirred chicken and went to drain the pasta pot he remembered the mess with Molly and Ginny.

As Draco came into the kitchen from placing Teddy in his basinet newly placed in Harry's room. Harry was about to set the plates of food on the table.

"Will you do me a favor; I have to go to the Burrow to get something straightened out?"

"Might I inquire as to the nature of it?"

"Apparently, I'm engaged and Ginny is pregnant. Ironically Ginny is missing an important body part for someone who wants to be my lover." Harry replied.

"And that part is?" Draco pushed.

"A penis." Harry replied shortly.
