/ Chapter 6 /

Teddy was having fun at the zoo. He was excited when he saw the Reptile House and dragged Harry and Hermione inside.

"Daddy! Is it true that you can talk to snakes?" Teddy whispered.

"Yeah, I'm a Parselmouth, I can talk to snakes." Harry remembered his second year; this special talent made everyone at Hogwarts think that he was the Heir of Slytherin. "I did accidentally set free a snake to scare my cousin when I was ten."

"All the old days..." Hermione told their school adventure about the Chamber of Secrets.

"So the basilisk was a giant snake? But why it wouldn't listen to you, daddy?" Teddy confused.

"Yes. And it only listened to Tom." Harry smirked, "and I killed it by using the Sword of Gryffindor, with a dumb luck."

Hermione smiled and said, "We do have loads of adventures throughout Hogwarts' years."

"Yup, I never know why troubles always found me!" Harry laughed and they headed to see the mammals section.

Teddy enjoyed himself so much when he fed the giraffes. His eyes wide-opened and full of excitement, he asked, "Is it possible I can have a giraffe? They are so cute, daddy."

"Oh… well," Harry blinked, "Teddy, I don't think we can keep one at home…" Teddy started to bite his lower lip, Harry hurried to comfort him, "but we can always come to visit them whenever you like."

"Can we come again tomorrow?" Teddy's eyes were shinning.

"Hey, there is the gift shop," Hermione pointed the gift shop, "Teddy, why don't we go and have a look, and Auntie Hermione can buy you some soft toys as your birthday present."

"Let's go then!" Harry walked towards to the shop.

Like every kid, Teddy grabbed all types of animal toys in the basket and was holding a giraffe in his chest.

"You really like giraffes, Teddy?" Harry asked softly.

Teddy nodded, holding the soft toy tight, eyed on the ground.

"Teddy, how about we come here every Saturday?" Harry didn't want to let down his godson. He lowered himself and his forehead against Teddy's.

"Really?" Teddy smiled and he eyed on Harry.

Harry nodded and hugged Teddy. Hermione joined as well, "Auntie Hermione will come too."

Teddy smiled happily, and wrapped his arms around Harry, kissing both Harry and Hermione.

Harry put down the basket on the counter and paid. "Alright then, we better go to eat now and then to London Eye."

When Mycroft arrived the Parliament, his assistant came forward and reported Mycroft's schedule, "Sir, the meeting with the Under-Secretary of State for Defence will be in fifteen minutes, followed by a meeting with the Prime Minister at two, and a conference call at half past four."

"Thank you. Keep me informed if there is any changes." Before he got the door, he handed a piece of paper to his assistant, and said, "Full details of him and get me today's surveillance video of London Zoo."

"Yes, sir." She read the note.

Harry Potter

She looked at her boss's retreating back, she never known why her boss so obsessed with Harry Potter. According to her research, Harry Potter had a training at MI6 for six months, however, after his training he was disappeared. Even if he was on a special or undercover mission, he still can be traceable.

But the truth was, no matter how hard she tried for all those years, there was still not much about him.

Besides, she noticed her boss looked different today.

He looked upset.

Something happened and with no doubt, it was all about a man named Harry Potter.

Therefore, she went straight back to her office, and started working on the surveillance camera footage.

She knew why and what she needed to do next.

-o-o-o-

It was an usual day for Mycroft; paperwork, meeting someone important of the government, making decisions, interrogating some criminal mastermind for information, trying to prevent the World War Three from happening… As the British Government, Mycroft Holmes always looked causally, intelligent, polite and charming.

However, he felt so annoyed today. He tried to make all the meetings short, so that he can back to his office as soon as he can.

Harry was the main concern.

By the time he was back to his office, his assistant already there and ready to give him a report.

"Sir, here is a copy of the footage about Harry Potter in London Zoo today." She placed a DVD on the desk, "We have confirmed that the man in the video is Harry Potter. But he used cash for all the transactions, so we still have no trace about him. Also we did some further searched with all London hotels reservation and guest lists, he is not there, no ATM withdrawal, no record about him from immigration, airlines or train stations. After they visited London Zoo, they went to a pizza restaurant. Then they visited London Eye…"

She trailed off.

Mycroft raised his eyebrows with a questioning look to his assistant.

"We lost them." She said.

"What?"

"After they visited at London Eye, we lost them. We did check all the surveillance cameras but we can't find them, they… they just disappeared. Sorry, sir."

Mycroft understood his assistant already did her best. He opened the file and said, "Anything about the woman and the boy?"

"No, sir. Sorry, sir."

"Thank you. You may off now."

Mycroft watched the DVD, all there were the footages about Harry with a boy and a mysterious young woman. They stayed together all the time. Mycroft was staring at the monitor, watching Harry's everything, his eyes, his smile, he was happy with the boy and his company.

At least that was not a dream.

Harry Potter was still alive.

-o-o-o-

By the time Harry back to Grimmauld Place, Teddy has already fallen asleep, still holding with a giraffe. Harry put him to his bed, kissed the pink cheek and said, "Happy birthday, Teddy. Sweet dreams."

Harry was exhausted, but he enjoyed the day so much.

"How was the day?" Andromeda gave Harry a cup of tea.

"Great! Teddy did have fun, he asked whether we can keep a giraffe here or not." Harry shook his head and chuckled.

"Oh, a giraffe?" Teddy's grandmother laughed. "How can he come up with such an idea?"

"Well, we fed the giraffe at the zoo and he said they are so cute and wished to have one. I like giraffe too but never want to keep one as a pet." Harry sat down on the sofa and sipped the tea.

"He needs someone company." Andromeda helped herself another tea, "You are busy at work most of the time, and he doesn't have any sibling, poor thing, no mum and dad too. You and I are all he has."

Harry's eyes were on the stairs, he knew Teddy felt bored at home all day long. He sighed, "He is five now and maybe sending him to school will be a good idea."

"School?"

"At least he can make some friends there. I do understand the feeling being locked up at home." Harry leaned back on the sofa, "I was raised by my Muggle relatives; they really don't like to keep me but Dumbledore made them do. I haven't gone to school until I was six. Before I was eleven, I lived in the cupboard under the stair, with no friends and no one caring about me…"

It was a painful past. Harry wanted Teddy to have a happy childhood, unlike him.

"Maybe it's good for him."

"Well… I will talk to Professor McGonagall to seeif she knows about some good schools." Harry stood up and put the cup into the sink, "Good night, Andy."
