The birth of James Sirius Potter had been welcomed in true Weasley style with a huge party. Relatives and friends had travelled from all over to celebrate in the garden of their small cottage. Since very early that morning he had stood beside Ginny shaking hands and accepting gifts while the women all fawned over the tiny baby who lay in Ginny's arms peacefully watching all the chaos around him. Now with the sun beginning to set and guests starting to leave Ginny turned to him and handed over their first born child with a soft smile.

"I think it's time for another nap"

Looking down at the tiny baby Harry felt his heart swell with pride. Here was his son, his own child. Something he had never dreamed he'd have.

Walking into the quieter atmosphere of the house Harry wrapped the colourful blanket Molly had knitted around James and walked up the stairs to the nursery pausing in the door way as he saw a smile boy sitting in the huge rocking chair by the window.

"Teddy?" Moving into the room he frowned seeing how sad his godson looked. He hadn't noticed he was missing from the party downstairs. "What's wrong?"

Teddy squeezed his little hands around a stuffed dragon he was holding not looking up as he heard Harry walk over to him. "I thought you'd be downstairs with the others, Uncle George has new fireworks to show off soon."

"You're…You.." Biting his lip he lowered his head more trying to hide the tears that were staring the slide down his cheeks.

Quickly placing James into the crib Harry lifted Teddy up sitting down with the small boy on his lap in the rocking chair kicking against the floor slightly to make it rock.

"You can tell me what's wrong"

"You got a real son now and you won't need me anymore and…and.." Teddy's voice trailed off into sobs as he hid his face against Harry's chest, dropping the dragon to grip the front of Harry's robes.

Staring down at him in shock Harry held him closer. He'd never thought that Teddy would see James as a replacement, but when he thought about it it did make sense. He had felt the same at times when he was young and visited Ron's family. It didn't matter how many times Molly said he was family he had felt different still.

"Teddy! Why would I not need you anymore? You're our special little guy. Ginny and I both see you as one of our family and James will grow to see you as his special big brother too."

Sitting up Teddy wiped at his cheeks looking up at him with huge, watery eyes.

"You promise? I can be a really good big brother, I'll teach him how to play snap and to eat chocolate frogs and he can share all my toys." Leaning over he grabbed the toy dragon holding it up "He can have my dragon too! I'm a big boy now and he can look after James"

Smiling Harry stood up holding Teddy on his hip walking over to the crib watching the little baby sleep.

"I remember when you were this little and you'd stay over with us. I was so scared I'd do something wrong"

Leaning over Teddy put the dragon toy next to James' head carefully.

"But you're a really good Daddy! Grandma says Mummy and Daddy would be very proud."

Smiling more Harry held Teddy closer.

"Will you help me? We can be a team. A great Dad and a great big brother." Using his sleeve he wiped away the remains of Teddy's tears happy to see him nod eagerly.

"And when you have more James will know how to be a good big brother too!"

"More!" Laughing Harry carried him out of the nursery closing the door carefully "I don't think Ginny will want to think of more babies just yet."

Heading back downstairs he walked back out into the garden just in time to see George hurrying down to the end of the garden with a huge box of fireworks.
