A/N

I made a mistake! I meant to say that Andromeda would be returning to the country shortly to hand over Teddy to Harry. I think what I wrote was that she was coming to the bank. Not quite the place to have a family reunion. Oh, and Teddy is almost a year and a half in my story
Anyways...

Chapter 4

Andromeda flinched when a small black owl landed on Teddy's crib holding a letter addressed to her.

Ms. Andromeda Tonks,

Harry Potter is now of age and able to take over care of Theodore S. Lupin. Please return to England to finish the Transfer of Guardianship Paperwork.

Signed,

Juniper Blaire, Executor of Lupin Estate

Andromeda's eyes widened as she took in the letter and Teddy's shifting features. He had been trying to imitate the bird on his crib.

"Teddy, sweetheart?" Her eyes filled with tears. "Gramma loves you very much." She picked up the almost toddler and kissed his hair that matched hers for the moment. She used her wand to speedily pack all of her belongings before packing Teddy's belongings in another bag. She pulled out her locket and whispered, "Home." The portkey twirled them into her foyer where she waited for Harry to come see her.


Alice frowned. "Jazz. We need to go shopping!"

Edward, who had been watching the two in curiosity recently due to their constant fact recitation and show tune singing in their heads shivered. "I'm going to Bella's."

Rosalie and Emmett took off out the back door to go hunting. "Bears bears bears!" Emmett yelled as he ran out, Rosalie rolling her eyes.

"Where are you going to shop?" Carlisle asked.

"Seattle," Alice chirped, and Jasper just sighed resignedly.

"Wherever the lady wants to go, I will follow," his soft voice drawled.

Carlisle smiled. "Have fun, kids."

They took off in Alice's yellow and black Lamborghini. Once they were out of city limits and well on the way to Seattle, Alice started talking. "Jazz, they blurred. I know they are still coming here, but I can't see them clearly anymore. They changed their minds about something, but haven't decided on the course they want to take."

Jasper arched an eyebrow. "Do you still see them coming here?"

"Well, yes, but...I just want to make sure that they are alright, and I can't because I can't see them clearly. Jazzy, I'm scared they won't want us. That maybe that is why I can't see them clearly anymore." Alice pulled off the side of the road.

Jasper pushed calming waves at Alice and sighed quietly. "Alice, the only thing we can do is wait. I highly doubt that they know they are our mates and are actively avoiding us. More likely, their blurring out in your visions has to do with the situations you saw them in last week. They may be trying to pick up the pieces and get everything settled before making the official decision to come here." He arched an eyebrow and crossed his arms. "However, since you told the whole coven we were shopping, it may behoove us to actually do so. Don't worry about your visions for now. You still see glimpses. We'll be fine."

Alice nodded and pulled back onto the road to continue on their way.


Luna guided them directly onto the front step of Andromeda's house, within the privacy veil that had been erected around the house. She released the boys arms after they steadied themselves and knocked sharply on the door.

When Andromeda opened the door and saw Luna and Harry she smiled, then she almost threw the door closed at the sight of Draco.

"No, Andy!" Harry caught the door before it closed. "He's a friend. Please let us explain." His green eyes were pleading.

Andromeda opened the door up again with a wary eye on Draco. Her wand slipped from its holster up her sleeve into her hand. "Where did you meet me for the first time?"

"An Order meeting. You called Tonks Nymphadora and she turned her hair fire-red."

"Harry." Andromeda hugged him and invited the three into her house. "What's this about my nephew actually being your friend?" She asked.

"I was a spy for my best friend. I was brought into the Inner Circle because of Lucius. Uncle Severus used his position to help me get information back to Harry." Draco's voice was soft, and he sat huddled in between Luna and Harry. "I'm sorry about everything Aunt Andromeda. It wasn't my intention for Lucius' ideals to drive a wedge between us. Mother misses you. She was always afraid that something would happen to you and I tried to keep you out of the line of fire. I'm sorry about Uncle Theodore." His voice trailed off as he looked at the floor.

"Oh, Draco," Andromeda sighed. "Theo would have been high on the list anyways, what with him being a muggle. Narcissa is the one that never stood a chance. I tried to get her out of the marriage contract with Lucius, but it wasn't feasible. Mother and Father were very engrained in the Pureblood ideals. That made Lucius the favorite once the requests started coming in for our hands in marriage. I tried to take the brunt of it by running off with Theo. I thought that if our parents were mad at me, they would leave Cissa alone."

As she finished, Teddy woke up from his nap and shakily stood up in his crib. "Gammah!" Everyone looked over at him as his eyes changed to bright green, and his hair turned platinum blonde.

"Harry, a kid with our colors mixed looks rather strange."

Harry nodded as Teddy shifted his features to mimic Draco's eyes and Harry's hair. "That's even stranger!"

"More strange, Harry, not stranger," Luna said giggling. Luna shifted her eyes back to Andromeda. "Ms. Tonks, I think you should come with us when we leave. Teddy needs you and Harry, not one or the other. What do you say?"

Andromeda nodded, "Call me Andy, dear. What do you need me to do?"

Luna smiled, "Pick up Teddy." As soon as Andromeda had Teddy in her arms, Luna magic washed out into the house, packing everything into boxes and leaving everything stacked neatly by the door. As the last box was stacked, someone knocked on the door. "Ah, they're here to pick up your things!"

Andromeda looked at Luna with wide eyes.

"She's a seer," Harry whispered as Luna closed the door to the room they were in and went to open the front door.

Twenty minutes later, Luna bounced back into the room and flopped onto the couch, bouncing the boys a bit. "Everything is set to be delivered, via muggle means to our new house. Narcissa is aware of the new additions to our family. We leave in a few hours so that we arrive in the morning over there." Luna clasped her hands and grinned. "It's going to be an interesting trip."


Alice's eyes clouded over. "Oh, Rose is gonna love this!"

Jasper looked at her questioningly. "I doubt it. She hates paisly," he replied dryly, looking at the garish scarf in her hands.

"No, Jasper, not the scarf. The baby." Her eyes were shining. "She'll absolutely love him."

Jasper frowned, concern flooding him. "A child?"

"Don't worry. He won't be 'food' smelling." Alice tossed the scarf back on the table and laced her arm through his. "You'll see."

Jasper grimaced. "This means more hiding things from Edward."

"You won't give us away."

"It's still irritatin' and he keeps pokin' around tryin' to pry into my mind." His Texan accent came out thick and angry.

"Don't stress, Jazz. He won't get anything off you or me until we want him to. Trust me."
