CALLING FOR HELP

never constant,

or dependable,

but refreshing

--The Living Room with the Lupin's--

After spending a few hours with Teddy and Remus, Tonks decided she better go visit her Mother. She really wanted to see her for a bit alone. So she announced it and was met with a weepy Teddy.

"Its alright darling! Come here," she said scooping him into her arms, "I promise I will be back before dinner but I need to go see Grandmum alone for a bit. But I promise to be back. I love you very much! Plus you can go meet Uncle Padfoot and spend time with daddy alright?" she asked pulling away slightly, kissing him on the head and wiping his tears away.

"Otay Mummy. I love you too!" he said, pulling away and waving as she placed a kiss on Remus's cheek and disapperated.

--Harry's Study--

Harry left the bedroom where he had left Ginny sleeping. After their talk he had to admit he was quite worried with the prospect of Voldemort returning. He could deal with death eaters if he had to –not that he was asking or wanting to-- but not Voldemort. My god he had a baby on the way! He needed help. The only people he knew that could help were Ron and Hermione. He had to send a letter out. He quickly wrote a note.

Once the letter was done he sent it out with his owl and sat waiting for a response.

--The Weasley residence, down the street--

"Ron we have a letter here from Harry!" called Hermione, after she gave Harry's owl a treat to nibble on while he waited for a response.

"That's nice." Ron said not seeing that she wanted him to come listen.

"Yes it is now bring Rose and yourself in here, and for the last time, Rosie can't say Daddy yet, no matter how smart she is." Hermione said slightly annoyed at first, but that melted on the thought of her beautiful daughter with big blue eyes and light brown/red hair.

"Coming love, and Rosie will be saying daddy any day now." Ron said, coming into the room with a pink clad buddle of blankets.

"Okay love, would you like me to read it?"

"Yes that would be nice." He said, the end turning into a coo as he looked down at his daughter and ticked her lightly.

"Alright it says:

Dear: Hermione (and Ron)

Would you mind coming over to dinner tonight with my lovely goddaughter. I need to talk to you both privately, well both me and Ginny. Everyone would love to see and meet Rosie. Dinner is at 6 but feel free to come whenever you like. Oh and you don't need to bring anything but Rosie and Ron sorry Hermione.

Sincerely,

Harry Potter

P.S. I was just joking Ron so don't get upset. Ginny would surely be sad without you there. Plus you are part of the "Golden Trio" as people now call us.

"Why does he always put AND RON?!" Ron said, annoyed a tad bit.

"Because I'm the clearer one darling" Hermione said sweetly and grabbed a quill and scratched back a response and sent it away.

--Back to Harry's Study--

10 minutes later his owl was back and dropped the response on his desk before flying out the window. Harry picked it up and opened it, noticing Hermione's loopy handwriting. He read:

Dear Harry,

We will be there at 5:00. I will make sure to bring Ron as well. Hey! I was just joking love.

I hope nothing is seriously wrong.

Also, sorry we couldn't get there sooner to meet your parents; we have been very busy getting Rosie on a schedule. And teach Rosie to say Daddy! Of course love, anyway you can see we have been very busy.

Love,

Hermione, Ron, and Rosie

P.S. We will bring desert.

P.S. I am very important and shouldn't be left out Harry!

Harry chuckled after reading it but was pleased to see they still hadn't changed with Rosie now here. But, he was even more relieved to see they indeed could come and boy they will be shocked to see Sirius, Remus, and Tonks.

­--Lupin Men move to the Library--

"Why hello mate! Thought you wouldn't come! And who is this?" Sirius asked, knowing fully well who it was.

"Teddy meet your Uncle Padfoot."

"Uncle Padfoot, this is your nephew Theodore Lupin." Remus said pushing Teddy forward.

"Hello Uncle Pafoot, nice to meet you. Hello Uncle Prongs!" Teddy said.

"Hello! Definitely yours, Remus."

"Yes he is. A carbon copy. No! A mini Remus." James added.

"Geez! You really are old Remus. A father! I can't believe it." Sirius said jokingly.

"What's that supposed to mean? I'm a father?"

"You aren't so young either Padfoot. My god you're an Uncle and a soon-to-be great-godfather. Now if that doesn't make you sound old." Remus shot back at him in a teasing way. Teddy merely chuckled as they continued on like this.

-- --In the Kitchen with Lily-- --

"Hello Mum, I came to help you make dinner. Hermione, Ron, and Rose – A month old—are coming for dinner as well. I hope it is alright."

"Hullo darling. It is quite alright. I would love some company and a chance to practice being a grandmum -- I can't believe my baby boy is going to be a dad. You don't need to help cook though, I'm fine."

"It's alright Mum I love to cook now. I have been cooking by myself since I was 6."

"If you insist. Can you finish chopping these for me?"

"Okay good, cut them small like that yes."

"You always did like to cook when you were little" she said, not bringing up having to cook at 6 for it would make her want to go murder Petunia and Vernon.

"Really?"

"Yes, when I would cook something you would always like to help. I would let you, of course, just not big things: stirring, playing with dough, or throwing something into a bowl."

"I never knew. No one ever told me that…" he said trailing off.

After a few minutes Harry said "You can help teach baby James how to cook then. You are a great cook." He said finishing the chopping and kissing his mum on the cheek.

"Thank you darling, I will be more than happy to. I can teach him and your little girl --you will have one so don't give me the look as if I'm mad-- how to cook and any other children you have. I wonder what your children will look like."

"I don't know. I never really thought about it." Harry said. "Though I would like a little girl with red hair. I would really love a little girl." He added.

"Mhmm. --One with that messy hair of yours too, a boy obviously. Poor child, but it would have carry on the Potter tradition." Lily said.

The conversation continued on, light and sweet, as the preparing of dinner continued.

--Back to the Library with James, Sirius, Teddy, and Remus--

"Well I am going to go help Lily with dinner so I don't get scolded for not helping." James said getting up and heading for the kitchen.

"Bye mate!" Sirius called

"Well Teddy I am going to go see your mum and Grandmum. I promise me and Mum will be back very soon and you can stay here with Uncle Padfoot and have some fun. Oh and everyone else is here in case you need to talk with a serious adult.

"Hey, I'm Sirius."

"I know mate, remember what I said Teddy. I love you very much."

"Your coming back right daddy?" Teddy asked quietly.

"Positive" Remus said scooping his son into his arms, hugging him tightly and kissing him softly on the head before pulling away and waving before disapperating to the Tonks house.

"Now that the old man is gone I can teach you about a prank."

"Prank?" Teddy said, a puzzled expression crossed his face making Sirius gasp.

"A Marauders son not know what a prank is! Well that must be corrected. Now a pranks is…." Sirius said going of on a long lecture on the meaning of the word prank and told some of his old pranks.

"WOW! Can you teach me how to do a prank Uncle Pafoot?"

"Of course kiddo now, let's see tonight we could……" Sirius said going of on various things he and Teddy could do to the food tonight.

--By the stream with Remus and Tonks--

Remus and Tonks had stopped to sit at the old tree, in the park by Tonk's mothers house, likd they used to when they first got married and talked about Teddy and her mother and just everything when Remus asked "Love, you have been awfully quite at the house which is unusual, what's wrong?"

"I'm lonely"

"What do you mean by lonely? You have me and Teddy and Ginny and everyone else."

"I love having Teddy, he is just not an adult to have a conversation with and you are away spending time with your old mates, which I am really happy for you and all, and Ginny is either asleep because she is so pregnant or moody as every from all the hormones in her body right now and…." She broke of with tears running down her face.

Remus pulled her towards him, pressing her face to his chest.

"Its alright love. I didn't realize you felt like that. I thought you were having fun with Teddy and didn't really feel like talking to the others. Tell you what; I will really introduce you to Lily. She is very nice and I think you will get along just great. Better yet she won't be mad if you drop something." He said wiping her face clear of tears and kissing her tenderly.

--The Weasley's Arrive--

After the arrival of Remus and Tonks, everyone went and changed and got ready for the Weasleys to come. About an hour later the doorbell went off.

"I'll get it" Ginny said, rushing to the door, closely followed by Harry.

"Oh Hermione I have missed you!" Ginny squealed hugging Hermione then Ron and taking Rosie for them.

"Hello Mate!" Ron said to Harry, giving him a one armed hug.

"Hello to you too. Got Daddy out of my beautiful goddaughter yet? I personally think Harry will be first."

"Oh you two!" Hermione said, crushing Harry in a hug.

"My you are looking nice tonight!" Harry said, noticing Hermione had lost most of the pregnancy weight since she had gained it.

"Thank you Harry. Now lets meet your parents. Shall we Ron?" she said, the last part more a statement then a question.

"Of course, come in, there are a few more people then that as well." He said moving so they could come in, and as soon as they did they gasped, catching sight of the others.

"How.." Hermione said

"BLOODY HELL!" Ron cried, Hermione was to stunned to scold him.

"Nice to see you too Ron." Sirius said.

"Hello, Ron and Hermione. It is awfully nice to see you haven't changed Ron, but I am shocked Hermione didn't scold you! Though she is still rather shocked as I guess she should be." Remus said.

"Wotcher, Ron and Hermione! Your daughter is adorable!" Tonks said.

"Thanks." Was all Hermione was able to say and Ron stayed silent.

"Well you must be the lovely friends of Harry. I am so happy to meet the two of you. Especially since you two helped my darling so much." Lily said hugging Hermione and Ron, bringing Hermione back.

"Hello, Mrs. Potter." Hermione said.

"Yes hello." Ron said, then "Wow"

"Yes Wow and call me James. I'm sure Lily will agree to call her Lily. Mr. and Mrs. Potter seems so old. We are not old mind you, though Padfoot would probably object there." James said, Lily nodding.

"Of course. Call me Lily, now lets eat shall we!" Lily said, bringing them into the dining room.

--In the Kitchen with Teddy and Uncle Padfoot--

During introductions of James and Lily, Sirius and Teddy slipped away un-noticed and went to the kitchen to execute their prank.

"Okay Teddy add that potion in there well I use my wand to finish it." Sirius said, starting to flick his wand around.

"Otay Uncle Pafoot" he said picking the potion up and starting to pour.

--After Dinner: Living Room --

"Good job mates! Didn't expect that one coming." James said laughing.

"I hope this doesn't reflect Hogwarts" groaned Harry and Remus, although Remus was very proud of his son, he couldn't say it with Dora there.

"Sirius! You could have harmed the baby! How irresponsible of you!" Lily scolded and then added "I don't blame you Teddy dear, your uncle shouldn't have taught you that."

"We didn't put it in hers and I made sure if it touched her lips it wouldn't go off and effect the baby. Loosen up, my dear Lily Flower." Sirius said, smirking slightly because he had gotten her.

"I think it was funny and no harm, or really any harm, was done."

"Very interesting. I must say to have every ones hair to constantly change was very clever. Good choice Teddy, but you shouldn't do that very much, and certainly not at school" Tonks said, trying to act serious and not laugh like she wanted to, but she was a mum now and couldn't. She had to be responsible like Lily and Hermione.

"Well Harry, will you help me with the dessert? While Ron goes to change Rosie?" Hermione asked, sending a look to Ron who got it and stood up taking Lily.

"I would love to!" Harry said, getting up and leaving with the two closely followed by Ginny, who had to use "the bathroom," after telling people to go out and sit on the patio, for it was nicer outside then in where it was crowded.

--In the Kitchen with Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Ginny--

"So what exactly is it that you need to talk privately about?" Hermione asked, looking over to make sure Ron was changing her daughter right, after deciding they better change her so it looked like that was what he was doing.

"With them all coming back, is it possible for Voldemort to come back as well?" Ginny said, spitting it out before Harry could.

"Yes, do you think it is possible?"

"Why does everyone ask her?" Ron said, stubbornly.

"You don't read Ronald! As for Voldemort coming back it is possible, but he wouldn't be alive for more then a few seconds. I don't think he could though because his soul was destroyed completely unlike that of James, Remus, Lily, Tonks, and Sirius. They died with all their souls intact.

"Although as I said before, it is possible, but unlikely. He would be killed instantly. His body is contained in a tank that can't be broken from the inside or outside with magic or anything else. It is also programmed by highly skilled people to set of the killing curse numerous times if he were to revive and attempt to get out. So I wouldn't worry about him, although I'm surprised you didn't already know that Harry. The thing I would worry more about is Death Eaters who died, because they aren't in tanks like that. I don't think though that anyone would try to revive them because without a leader, they can't go very far." Hermione said.

"That's a big relief I wasn't really paying attention then as I was busy with Teddy and getting Remus's name on the plaque at Hogwarts because as you remember they didn't want to add him because he was a "werewolf" and had to be on the 'Dark Side.'

"I'm not really worried about Death eaters though. They are pretty easy to catch, and like you said they can't go far without a leader. But we better get protective spells up, or more of them incase they do. I also think everyone who has come back needs to stay inside this house and we need to keep the news about the new arrivals to the ministry even though I trust the minister its just to be safe."

"We need to get them up quickly, especially with the baby coming. Someone is coming here to deliver the baby because they have to be here HARRY!" Ginny said, panicking slightly at the process of everyone not being there and their unborn baby being in danger.

"That's fine love. We can ask, but I'm sure Mum will do it. She was a Healer for a couple years before going into hiding." Harry said.

"We need to get back, but I will get them up at our house as soon as we get back and I suggest Ginny go right now then I will wait a minute and will go and you two wait 3 minutes before coming out," Ron said, sensibly. This proclamation was slightly shocking to all but they followed his orders.

--Outside with the Lupins, the Potters, and the Black--

"Something is going on in there. I know for a fact Rose didn't need to be changed." Lily said.

"Definitely something going on there." Tonks said.

The two of them had finally met officially and had become quick friends. You could tell by the way they pulled away from the guys when they came out.

They didn't get a chance to discuss much more into the "something going on" for they were interrupted by the others arriving back after "getting dessert" and "changing Rosie".

--Notes--

Author's Note: Well there is another chapter. Lot's happening in it and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing this one.

I hope you guys review! I haven't got a single review for the past 2 chapters which doesn't make me want to write it make me want to stop and cry, which isn't good. I need reviews to encourage me to write and I use them for that. When I don't that makes me sad and think people don't like it. Though having me added to alerts helps encourage me a little its not the same as reviews so please review I'm begging!

Oh and sorry for not being as quick but this is probably going to be the speed I go now since I have college classes as well as a high school class it's a lot of work so that takes time and it is really my first focus but I will post at least 2 times a week maybe more.

So with all that said Thanks to Kelsey again for the help and please review readers!
