Teddy was around 9 when Harry once found him sitting in the attic alone, after he had refused to go out with the rest of the family. Harry sent Ginny off with their two sons to meet everyone else, while he went to talk to Teddy.

"Ted , what's wrong?" asked Harry as he managed to climb up the attic.

"Nothing" replied a very sad voice.

Harry sat down next to Teddy as they both stared at the old junks around them.

"You were so excited to meet everyone last night, what changed?" softly asked Harry.

When Teddy didn't answer, he further added, "You can tell me anything, you know that right?"

Teddy moved , hid his face from his God-father and mumbled something.

"Sorry buddy didn't hear that. Can you say it again?" said Harry placing a hand on the boy's shoulder.

"Why don't I have a mum and dad?" whispered Teddy still not looking at Harry.

Harry's heart dropped. He knew someday this conversation would come. He just didn't expect it so soon, but then again Teddy was always a smart kid.

Receiving no response , Teddy tried to amend by saying, " Don't be sad. I love you and gran and aunt Ginny. But why don't I have a mum and dad like Jamie and Al do?"

"No love but you do." Started Harry and then stopped again. He took a deep breathe.

"Do you remember that evil wizard I told you about?" At Teddy's nod, Harry continued, "Well he was a very bad person and wanted to destroy everyone."

"But you defeated him." Supplied Teddy, this is a story every child knew.

"No I didn't defeat him. At least not alone. I had so much help. You aunt Hermione , uncle Ron , Ginny and so many many people."

Now looking at Teddy's eyes, who's turned around now, Harry said, "There was a final war right? And among the people who helped me were your parents. They died saving all of our lives. They died saving the wizarding world."

"But why? Why did they leave me?" asked Teddy with acute sadness.

"They didn't want to leave you. They made this sacrifice to ensure a better future for you Teddy. Know this, they loved you very much. Remus Lupin and Nymphedora Tonks, your parents loves you still. They're watching over you from up there." He pointed upward towards heaven.

"They are?"

"Yes Teddy." This time he pointed at Teddy's heart. "The people who love us never really leave us. They'll be here. Always. "

"Okay" said Teddy. "So my mum and dad are heroes?" asked Teddy looking up at Harry.

"Yes. They're heroes. Never forget that."

"Okay " said Teddy and then moved to hug his God-father . Harry held on very tightly to his god-son, cursing Voldemort for the umpteenth time.

"Thank you uncle Harry."

"For what buddy?" asked Harry.

"For telling me how great my parents were." Smiled Ted. Harry's heart relaxed at that smile. He smiled too.

"Now how about we get down from here and I buy you two scoops of ice cream? We wont tell gran or aunt Ginny." Said Harry taking the boy's hand and getting down.

"Yes!" squealed Teddy.
