The Great Hall, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Scotland

14th November 2011

Second Year Hufflepuff student Teddy Lupin, son of the former Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Remus Lupin, was sitting down, eating his lunch in the Great Hall, when he saw a Gryffindor First Year suddenly get levitated in the air by his ankle, the property that his trousers contained falling out of his pockets, including his wand.

Teddy knew from his girlfriend, Victorie Weasley, that the young Muggleborn who was being levitated was constantly bullied, and that the two Seventh Year Gryffindor Prefects refuse to help, one of them claiming that a "Mudblood should never have been allowed in Gryffindor, let alone Hogwarts", even though the Fifth and Sixth Year prefects had tried to quell the arguments, with some spell fire being cast during the arguments.

Seeing that that boy was alone, Teddy knew that he could potentially make friends with him, and that he wanted to invite him to Potter Manor for Christmas as a way to get to know the young man further, but he first had to get the permission of his godfather.

Looking at him, he could see that he resembled someone that was close to his family, but could not place it at the time. He would later come to realise that, having lived with his with his godfather, since his godmother, Hermione Granger, had disappeared when he was a baby, that the student in question looked exactly like Harry Potter.

After speaking to the Head of Gryffindor, Professor Neville Longbottom, about the young man, who he found out to be an orphan named Jack Henry Granger, Teddy headed to the owlery to send the letter to his godfather.

Little would Teddy be aware that he had changed the young orphan's life forever.

Potter Manor, Castle Donnington, Derbyshire, England

16th November 2011

Harry Potter was sitting in the study at his ancestral home of Potter Manor, reflecting on his life and how it had been turned upside down following the forcing on him of the betrothal agreement, the argument with Hermione and the subsequent marriage to the Tracey Davis, the half-sister of Daphne Greengrass.

He remembered how, following a visit to Gringotts to see his account manager, Kicktail, he had read the betrothal contract, and the conditions contained within, and was annoyed with his father. The reason for his annoyance was simple as the betrothal contract between the two stated that should either party cancel the contract, the cancelling party shall forfeit all and any property owned by their House.

It was made worse as he, and he alone, was forced to pay the fees by the Goblins of Gringotts that had been caused by his escape by dragon. He had tried to protest and was told that in no uncertain terms that should he take it further, he would be banned from any property owned by Gringotts and he would forfeit his family holdings that were in care of them.

He had then been forced by the Wizengamot, led by the new Chief Warlock Lucius Malfoy, who claimed to be under the Imperius Curse Again, who had confiscated his family seat so he would be unable to represent his family there, to pay compensation to the families who had been affected by the Death Eaters. This left him to be forced to draw a meagre salary from employment with the Chudley Canons, who he had joined as he had no NEWTs to his name, along with his friend, Ron Weasley, with Tracey gaining employment as a Healer at St Mungo's, her NEWT qualifications being satisfactory to them.

He had tried to sell his ancestral manor, but was unable to do so, due to the lien that his ancestor, Harfang Potter, placed on the property, meaning that he was unable to realise any money from the illustrious property.

Harry's spell of luck, or lack thereof, continued when Andromeda Tonks, the grandmother of his godson, Teddy Lupin, fell ill, subsequently dying, forcing Harry to take on the responsibility of a three-year-old child, mere months after his wife had given birth to his first one, James Sirius Potter.

Since then, he and Tracey had been forced, by the contract enforcing itself on them, to have three children, two boys and one girl, meaning they had to depend on the holdings that his godson would inherit, being the grandson of a member of the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black.

Suddenly an owl flew into the room, dropping a letter onto his desk. Harry looked at the letter and read it, seeing that it was from his godson.

"Dear Uncle Harry,

Hogwarts is great and the lessons are going well!

I have a load of great friends now, following the mess that was last year, and one in particular! No not in the sense of you and Aunt Tracey, unlike Victoire and I are, but a First Year from Gryffindor who I want to invite over Christmas.

This new friend of mine is named Jack Henry Granger, and he's living at orphanage in London

Missing you and the family, as always!

Teddy"

Harry read the letter, nodding to himself that he was glad his godson had a friend, and, even though he was going to talk to his wife about it, he knew it would be alright for Teddy to bring his friend to the Manor.

18th December 2011

Harry together with his youngest son, Ronald Remus Potter, and his daughter, Lily Daphne, was waiting awaited the arrival of his godson and his friend.

"Daddy look the train's here" exclaimed Lilly, her smile becoming infectious as it was growing on her twin brother's face.

"Yes Lily, it is" Harry nodded, the memories of the times he was on the train with Ron and Hermione, headed to Hogwarts for their education, coming forth to his mind. The strongest of the memories, however, was of Hermione and him making love that one night, the sadness of the argument that they had, the fact that he hadn't seen her in years, or even communicated with her forcing him to want to cry.

Ronald shook his father out of his thought when he spoke up "I can see Teddy, he's there dad," pointing his little finger in direction from which turquoise haired boy that was Harry's godson, together with another boy with black coloured were approaching.

"Good eye son. Give it a few years until you arrive at Hogwarts, and you'll be playing Quidditch on school team" Ronald's eyes lighting up as his father spoke.

"Uncle Harry!" shouted Teddy, running towards the trio with his friend quietly following.

"TEDDY" yelled the two youngest children of the Potter family, jumping up at Teddy.

"Hey Teddy, hello to you too" Harry chuckled. 'Yes, all three of them still think of Teddy as their oldest brother.'

Then what caught Harry's eye was the boy that came with Teddy. Suddenly Harry gave out a gasp as he looked at the boy, who, if you looked from a closer distance, looked like his carbon copy from years ago, when he was a First Year near enough. The only difference was that the boy seemed to look healthier and not so thin, plus he for sure had better clothes.

"Hello sir," The boy said, looking at Harry with bright green eyes.

'Bright green eyes, just like mine.' Harry thought 'But what could it possibly mean?'

"Hello I guess you're Jack?" Harry asked, to which the boy nodded. "This is Ronald and Lily, my two youngest children. My eldest, James, is at home studying with his mother."

Little did he realise that the surname of the child who Teddy was friends with was the same as his former friend and lover, Hermione, and that Jack was his eldest child…

A/N I get a little bit fed up of reading these stories where Harry is rich after the war and wanted to write one where the Ministry and the Goblins screw him over.

Coming Up in Chapter 03 - Harry realises the consequences of sleeping with Hermione…
