Chapter Two

Harry was brooding; he had just walked out of the Order meeting after most of the Order had felt it was a good idea for them to talk amongst themselves saying condescendingly that Harry should rest. And in Molly's case fusing over him to an absolute excess, god he felt like he was fifteen again.

So he was in his room with Teddy asleep against his chest looking like a little angel, in his opinion anyway. Waiting for someone to come up because there was absolutely no way he was making his way down only to be accosted by Molly. That would not end well, as she probably would try to force feed him something. Harry then thought he was being a little mean, but really was Molly this annoying in his time and for that matter did he remember being overly annoyed with her in fifth year.

The door creaked open, and Tonks walked in with an understanding look on her face.

"Wotcher Harry, I suppose you're a bit annoyed that everyone is treating you like a baby."

"Oh only a bit" "It is just hard you know" Harry glumly replied

"Well, can't say I understand what you're going through since I've never time travelled but I think will get better, they are treating you like they treat our times Harry is what they know what to do"

Well, it's not really me who time travelled I just went along with what Teddy felt like doing" Harry joked smiling trying to inject so humour into the conversation.

"Oh yeah, so whose is he?"

"Wh...what do you mean?" Harry stuttered cursing himself for bringing Teddy into a conversation with Dora.

"Well Harry, its obvious isn't it, Teddy is a Metamorphmagus and there are fewer than fifteen of us in the world alive at the moment and only hundred Metamorphmagus recorded throughout history. On top of the fact that his name is Teddy a variation of Edward which is my father name" "Face it Harry I know he's mine." smiling at the fact that she had a son in the near future, completely oblivious to the fact that Harry's insides were gripping as he felt grief wash over him in torrents. She took the silence as conformation and began spouting questions, questions that Harry couldn't answer.

"So who's the father?" "Where do I meet him?" "Exactly how old is Teddy?" "When is he born?" "Am I married?" she asked quickly her face shining with happiness, stopping expectantly wait for Harry's answers When he stayed silent her expression changed to one of confusion and she noticed the grief stricken look

"Harry?!"

"I... I can't... I won't...I-" Harry struggled

Dora broke him off "Whats the matter"

"HARRY" she tried to regain his attention as he had silently but quickly got up and placed the sleeping teddy in a single bed he had conjured in the corner of the room. Teddy whimpered in his sleep when she yelled but Harry kissed his forehead and Teddy curled up contently under the covers.

Quickly Harry exited the room, and apparated to regulus's room and sitting on the dusty bed. He thought over how hard it was for him, to have no one he could turn to. He missed Ginny and it had been less than a day so he let it all consume him and he sank into a horrid mood mixed with grief and pain. He could not change what happens and the thought killed him inside, he just hoped he was home before anything major happens since he didn't think he could do it again.

Harry woke up early; he got up and walked to his room. Upon opening the door he found Teddy awake in his bed, looking around for Harry when he saw him in the doorway Teddy broke into a big smile saying he wanted to get up now.

As they walked downstairs Teddy talked quietly yet animatedly about a dream he had last night

"So then, there was this big bang and like a trillion owls came flying out with party hats on their heads singing the Hogwarts song you know the one you told me about, it was sooooooo weird"

"I'm sure it was bud."

"What are we having for breakfast?"

"Whatever you want Teddy"

"Can we have Ginny's pancakes you know the ones with smiley faces on?"

"I can make pancakes with smiley faces on for you"

"Buts I want Ginny to make them like she always does" "Where is she? Doesn't she love me anymore" Teddy mumbled sadly tears glistening in his eyes

Harry looked down sadly at Teddy with a frown on his face he was trying to figure a way to say this that a three year old would understand.

"Teddy, of course she loves you, we just can't be with her right now"

"We're on an adventure; you know that necklace that you played with when I was ill"

"Yes"

"Well that sent us through time; we're in the past Teddy"

"The past. Really?" Teddy looked a little awed

"Yeah, really" smiling at the expression on his godson's face.

"So I could meet my parents" Teddy said timidly.

"Well, yes you could." Harry answered awkwardly, wondering how Teddy had realised this, Teddy had always been inquisitive and asked a ton of questions but this was going overboard.

"Really, like now, because that would be so cool!"

"Teddy, you've got to understand that when we go home we can't bring your parents back."

"Why" Teddy asked sadly

Harry could foresee that this would become a problem

"Because, they belong in this time and they can't come with us"

"Ok, but I can see them while I'm here right"

"When can we go home?"

"Soon"

"Good, I don't want to stay here for long because my toys aren't here and Ginny, Grams, Vic aren't here"

"Can we have breakfast now? We been talking for ages" Teddy whined

Laughing Harry picked Teddy up and sprinted to the kitchen. He stopped at the door when he heard voices inside,

"Well, maybe didn't want to ruin the time stream."

"No... You didn't hear him; it was like I died our something"

"Dora, don't jump to conclusion yet, we don't know what he's been through in the last five years."

"Padfoot that's got to be one of the most sensible things you have ever said."

"Yeah, I'm surpri-" Bills comment was interrupted when Harry opened the door having heard enough and silently going over and making pancake batter.

"Good morning" Remus said pleasantly

"Morning" Harry grumbled

"Morning Daddy" Teddy said beaming from where he was sitting on the kitchen counter.

His comment was met with silence from everyone concerned. Harry then decided he would have to tell everyone about what happens and will have to perform a memory charm on everyone when he leaves.

"Ok, I'll have to tell you now, get the Order together tonight and I'll tell you everything.

"He's M...Mine" stuttered Remus

"Me and Remus?" asked Dora

Dora, my cousin, Remus really? Sirius quirked an eyebrow.

"I'll tell you all later, Come on Teddy eat your pancakes"

"What's going on Harry why are they all looking at me?" He went and hid timidly in Harry chest

"It's ok Ted nothing wrong, Finish your breakfast and then we can go and play something"

"Ok" Teddy replied happily

The kitchen then descended into silence once more everyone eating quietly not daring to look at each other.

Harry and Teddy left the room once more and as promised he played a load of games with Teddy all day. All the while thinking of what he was going to say in the Order meeting that according to Sirius would be at six o clocks tonight.

He really didn't want to relive any of it but he knew that it was important for him to do so.
