set in an alternate universe where Harry defeats Voldemort, using all three of the deathly hallows, during the battle of the department of mysteries/Hogwarts. Sirius is alive and well since Harry took a killing curse for him. (this is what destroys the Horcrux in harry). this one is in Harry's seventh year and is about the birth of Teddy Lupin.
Harry Potter was lounging around the Gryffindor common room with his girlfriend, Ginny Weasley, in his arms whilst they rested on the sofa. they were quietly talking, in-between kisses, about anything they could think off. they both had a free period but it was raining on that certain April afternoon.
Harry was in his seventh year at Hogwarts and surprisingly all was well.
lord Voldemort, he-who-must-not-be-named, Tom Marvolo Riddle was dead. dead.
harry had defeated him two years ago. but of course, that wasn't the start of his mission to kill the dark lord. that had started in his fourth year.
only weeks before the first task Harry had been summoned to dumbledores office. he had met the headmaster and snape of all people and been told the most outlandish story.
Dumbledore and Snape had been visited by a group of time travellers who called themselves the asp, the ferret and the Pheonix. this group had given the two professors all the information needed to defeat Voldemort. the evil bastard had created six Horcruxes. one Horcrux was already gone, the blasted diary from Harrys second year.
the first Horcrux was the Gaunt family ring. the ring had been once owned by Voldemort since he was the gaunt heir and the dark object was held up in a small shack outside of little hangleton. the day after the first task Harry and Dumbledore had traveled to the shack with the sword of Gryffindor, a known destroyer of Horcruxes.
after a short fight with a curse placed on the ring for protection, Harry had managed to destroy the vile part of his enemy's soul.
when they returned to Hogwarts Dumbledore had given Harry the mission of finding the second Horcrux in the room of requirement, which was the lost diadem of Rowena Ravenclaw.
harry mission was put hold because of the Yule Ball. he had taken Ginny as his date, who he had developed a crush on the year before, and it was one of the best nights of his life. they had even shared their first kiss at the ball and had started dating the next day, much to the chagrin of Ron who begrudgingly accepted his best mate and sister going out because he was still trying to make up for betraying Harry after his name was drawn out the goblet of fire.
with the help of Ginny, Hermione and Ron they had found out the next clue to the second task, which entailed an exciting trip to the prefect's bathroom with Ginny. and they had found the diadem after days of looking in the room of hidden things.
as an early valentines gift, Harry had let Ginny destroy the diadem using a basilisk fang, which Dumbledore and Harry had gotten from the chamber of secrets. he had been rewarded very well for this act.
horcrux hunting was put on hold for the remainder of the year so harry could focus on the Triwizard tournament. the second task was a scary one since Ginny was his hostage, he had rescued her pretty quickly but had to rescue fleurs sister since she had failed to do so.
although he was last coming out of the lake he was given extra points for moral fiber. both Ginny and Ron berated him for acting the hero since he didn't have to rescue Gabrielle.
most of his school year was the same up until the third task.
right before he was let into the maze Dumbledore had told him "don't let Cedric win". and that's what Harry did when he and Cedric were given the chance to win together harry had pushed the older boy out the way before grabbing the cup. as it turned out the cup was a portkey.
it transported him to a graveyard where he had witnessed the rebirth of Lord Voldemort. he had escaped after a brief duel.
his fifth year was an entirely different story.
first, he had been attacked by dementors and put on trial for underage magic, he used the Patronus charm. although he was cleared of all charges.
also, the ministry refused to believe that Voldemort was back.
during his stay at Grimmauld place, Sirius found the fourth Horcrux in the form of Slytherin's locket. the locket had been stolen by Sirius's brother Regulus, who had died before he could destroy it but left it in the position of Kreacher.
Ron volunteered to destroy the locket and did with the sword of Gryffindor.
Harry's school year was hard. first off they had the terrible ministry controlled Dolores Umbridge as their defense teacher, so harry formed dumbledores army.
harry had a vision of Mr. Weasley being attacked by a snake. he told Dumbledore and the order had managed to save the Weasley patriarch.
harry, Hermione and the Weasleys stayed at Grimmauld place for Christmas and during the holidays harry was allowed into an order meeting.
he discovered that the snake was called Nagini and was Voldemorts familiar. the snake was also the sixth Horcrux.
the order told him there plans to break into Gringotts, under the guise of a dark wizard gang, to steal Hufflepuff's cup, the fifth Horcrux.
a few weeks after Christmas Harry was told by snape that the heist had been a success and the cup had been destroyed by Dumbledore using fiendfyre.
it wasn't until May 1st that things got interesting. harry had a vision during class that Sirius was being tortured by Voldemort in the department of mysteries. after a brief diversion in the form of Umbridge him, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, and Luna had traveled to the ministry on thestrals.
they had gone to the department of mysteries and found a prophecy about Harry and Voldemort. they were then ambushed by deatheaters and a fight ensued. the order came, including Sirius.
during the battle, Bellatrix Lestrange sent a killing curse at Sirius and Harry jumped in front of his godfather.
harry awoke in heaven like kings cross station and was greeted by his parents, they told him how proud they were of him and how much they loved him. he then chose to return to earth to finish off Voldemort and live the rest of his life.
he woke up still in the department of mysteries with order members. Dumbledore turned up and explained that Harry was a Horcrux himself. Dumbledore then said that Voldemort, thinking Harry was dead, had taken over Hogwarts. harry was given the deathly hallows to kill the dark lord.
he returned to the school and confronted Voldemort in the great hall. as they dueled Neville, using the sword of Gryffindor, killed Nagini and Bellatrix Lestrange. this allowed Harry to defeat Voldemort once and for good on the morning of may 2nd, 1996.
harry had taken his O.W.L's none the less and, without the added stress of a dark lord coming for him, passed with flying colors which allowed him to enter the required N.E.W.T classes he needed to be an Auror.
many things happened after that.
fudge was kicked out of office and replaced with Kingsley shacklebolt. since wormtail was one of the captured death eaters Sirius was cleared of all charges and was given full custody of Harry. harry then moved into the newly refurbished Grimmauld place. Sirius also became an Auror.
ron and Hermione had gotten together during the celebrations of Voldemort's defeat.
remus was rehired as the defense against the darks professor. since he was a war hero only the old pureblood families complained that a werewolf teaches their children. also with the help of Harry and Sirius, Remus overcame his fear of having a romantic relationship and married Dora Tonks.
harry last thought before McGonagle came rushing through the portrait hole was the news that Dora was pregnant.
"Mr. Potter, Miss Weasley, Dora Lupin is in labor and professor Lupin has requested your presence," the stern teacher told them. harry and Ginny were then rushed to st mungos whilst wondering why Remus would want them for.
they, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Sirius and his girlfriend Emmalyn White, Mr. and Mrs. Tonks, waited for two hours until Remus came out of the hospital room. he was sweating like he was in the sun bt had the biggest smile on his face.
"its a boy!" he exclaimed happily. everyone congratulated him before he said proudly "and hes not a werewolf, hes a metamorphmagus like his mother". another round of congratulation were given. everyone knew of remus's fear his son would be like him.
mr and mrs tonks went to see their grandchild whilst remus went over to harry and ginny. "your up next" he told them.
a few minutes later they met the baby, finally. he was very small in harrys arms and had turquois hair. the baby opened its eyes and for a second he had remus' brown eyes but then they were replaced by emarled green ones. ginny chuckled at this.
"say hello to Edward Remus Lupin," Dora Lupin told them with a happy smile from the hospital bed. harry handed Edward to Ginny who cooed at the baby.
"I think ill call you Teddy for short" Ginny said to the baby. teddy looked happy with this nickname.
"Teddy, I like that," Remus said.
"me too" Dora echoed.
after a few moments of baby watching Remus turned to the young couple. "me and Dora want you two to stand for godparents".
harry was shocked. sure he was seventeen and would do anything in his power to help teddy if anything happened to the Lupins but he had thought they would have asked Sirius.
"Sirius already has a godchild, but you two don't, we couldn't think of anyone better," Dora told them.
"ok then, hi teddy, im your godmother Ginny," she told the baby.
"yeah and im your godfather Harry," he said aswell, they smiled to each other before Ginny gave teddy back to his mother.
"thank you for naming us godparents, we promise to the best we can," Harry said whilst placing an arm around his girlfriend's shoulder.
"your welcome" Remus said. "as we said, we couldn't think of anyone better".
harry and Ginny smiled in replied. as they watched the happy couple with their son Harry thought about the future.
a future where he and Ginny were married and had kids of their own.
Harry couldn't wait to be a father.
