Two weeks later

Harry walked out of the store after getting enough food to for the rest of the week. He kept glancing around the street searching for blue hair. He turned when he heard a familiar voice call, "Tou-san!" (1) Stumbling back a few steps Harry quickly steadied himself and his very welcome burden. The little boy looked up at Harry with sparkling amber eyes and began telling his tou-san about all the amazing things he had seen on his short time away from Harry's side.

"Teddy we'll go to the toy store tomorrow but right it's time for dinner," The six-year old pouted at the thought of not getting a toy but quickly cheered up at the thought of dinner and then after, dessert.

The two began making their way down the street with Teddy excitedly bouncing around and chattering away. The small family was just walking by the park when Harry caught sight of a blonde-haired child sitting alone on the swing set.

After catching Teddy's attention, the two made their way towards the lonely child. Teddy ran ahead and plopped himself in the swing beside the golden-haired boy. The boy looked at the strange bluenette sitting beside him with confusion. "I'm Potter-Lupin Edward but everyone calls me Teddy. What's your name?" (2)

The little boy stared at Teddy with shock, "I'm Uzumaki Naruto. Won't your parents get mad that you are talking to me?"

"No, why would my tou-san be mad? He was the one to suggest we come over."

"Well I'm the demo-"

"I see you've already met my son. Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Potter Harry. Who may you be?" Harry had been slowly making his way over to the two boys and had crouched down in front of Naruto without disturbing the conversation between the two.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto had jumped at hearing Harry's voice and turned towards him. He stared for a couple seconds at Harry, perplexed by the kindness being shown to him.

"Well where are your parents Naruto? It's getting dark, I bet they are getting worried."

Naruto became suddenly very interested in his old, worn-out sneakers at hearing Harry's question, "I haven't got any. The orphanage kicked me out a week ago because they didn't want the 'demon child' to be near the other kids."

"Well where have you been staying?" Harry watched, concerned, as Naruto kept avoiding eye contact and started fiddling with his shirt hem.

"..." Naruto mumbled while twisting the bottom of his shirt.

"What was that? I don't think I heard you right."

"In an apartment that jii-san gave me." (3)

"Alone?" At Naruto's hesitant nod Harry scowled angrily. "How old are you Naruto?"

"Five and a half."

Harry quickly turned away and began pacing in front of the swing set, angrily muttering to himself.

Naruto turned worried eyes towards Teddy, "Potter-san isn't angry at me right?"

"No, I think he's mad that you are by yourself. You know I'm six too, I'm turning seven April nineteenth."

"Really but that's only a week away!"

"I know. I'm so excited, Tou-san said we could have a party. You're invited of course." Teddy smiled brightly at Naruto.

"Would Potter-san let me?"

Harry had been close enough to hear Naruto's quiet question and walked back over to the two boys. "I'm sorry if I worried you Naruto. I was just upset that someone could leave a child so young alone. Of course you can come to Teddy's birthday party, in fact why don't you come over for dinner tonight?"

"Really?! You're serious?"

"I'm not Sirius but yes you can come to the party." Naruto looked confused but after registering what Harry had said he grinned brilliantly at Harry.

"Arigatou Potter-san!" (4)

"Please call me Harry."

Naruto's smile couldn't have been any wider or brighter. Teddy and Naruto began excitedly talking while the trio made their way to the Potter-Lupin household. Harry watched as the two boys began playing a game of tag, running around him, trying to stay away from the other. Harry smiled gently, watching as the two boys began forming a friendship that he knew would last for many years to come.
