Chapter eleven

After dinner that night, Harry flooed to Andromeda's place to speak with her about her sister.

'Normally you would not come so late Harry, not that I mind. So if I'm right, there's something you want to discuss with me.'

'Yeah, I do Andromeda. Draco spoke to me, he asked me to talk to you about Narcissa. I told him I would but the decision still comes down to you. She really wants to talk to you and apologise. Now I've told you how she did help me even if her motives were to find her son. But if she never did that and Voldemort found out I was alive, with fifty death eaters around him, not to mention snatchers and giants, I don't think I would be alive right now. So I thought I'll tell you then give you time to decide because you don't need to decide right now, take some time, think about it.'

'To be honest Harry, after you explained about Narcissa and Draco, I have thought about them a lot. Even though I know most of it all came down to Lucius, Narcissa did turn her back on me the moment I married Ted. But I sat here thinking about her doing that and I realised why. I loved Ted with all my heart and I would have done anything to stay with him, well I would never hurt people, but you know what I mean. Narcissa wanted to be with the man she loved even if he wasn't a nice man in any way. So I think I will talk to her, I can't promise we will make up, but I would like to hear what she has to say.'

'If that's what you want to do Andromeda and I know what you mean. I love my friends and I would do anything for them, well like you, I wouldn't hurt anyone.'

'I will come to Hogwarts tomorrow since I know she can't leave there just yet.'

'Alright, I'll look after Teddy while you two talk. Do you mind if I go give him a kiss goodnight?'

'Of course not Harry,' Andromeda smiled then watched as Harry left the room.

Harry stared down at the small baby boy and every time he saw Teddy, he looked bigger. Harry leaned down and kissed his head very gently before saying goodnight to Andromeda and flooed back to Hogwarts. As he neared his room, he saw Draco in a dark corner, so he nodded then let them both into his room. They instantly started to kiss and touch as their clothes ended up on the floor on the way to the bedroom. They spent the next could of hours making the other groan with pleasure and even though both men had no idea why they were doing this, they had finally stopped fighting it and decided to get together when they wanted to.

The following morning, Harry sat with Ginny and his friends when Andromeda walked into the great hall and over to Harry.

'Are you sure about this Andromeda?'

'Yes, after you left last night, I realised I want to try. So if you can take Teddy for a while, everything is in his bag, including his bottles, you should be right.'

Harry took the baby boy into his arms, 'I'll be fine, go see your sister,' Harry gave her a smile then watched as she walked over to the Slytherin table. Andromeda spoke to Narcissa then the two women left the great hall. Harry saw Draco give him a nod but also a smile, which Harry returned before looking back at Teddy.

'So Andromeda is going to forgive her sister?' Hermione asked.

'There going to talk. Draco asked me to speak to Andromeda about her sister, but I said it was always going to be Andromeda's decision whether she would or not.'

'But why did you agree to speak with her when Malfoy asked you?' Ron asked.

'I said I would if he would go apologise to Dumbledore. Even if he is a portrait, he has all his memories and feelings up to his death. Draco instantly agreed and I knew he would because he never wanted to kill Dumbledore.'

'So you basically blackmailed him Harry,' Ginny smirked.

'Well yeah,' Harry said looking sheepish.

'That is still strange to see Harry,' Seamus nodded to the baby in his arms.

'I'm getting used to it Seamus and I enjoy doing things for Teddy, well not when he hoses me though.'

Everyone around the table laughed, 'Yeah, but being a boy, you can't stop that from happening,' Bill said, 'I used to change Ron when he was a baby, he always hit me.'

'Blimey Bill, don't go saying things like that,' Ron said as his ears went red making everyone laugh, 'That's embarrassing.'

'I know something that could embarrass one of you,' Minerva said as she stepped behind everyone.

'Even if it might be me, I want to hear this. I like embarrassing stories,' George chuckled.

'Well, back during the first war, you all know I was in the order of the phoenix. At some meetings I got to hold a baby, I changed him and also bathed him.'

Harry saw everyone looked at him as they started laughing, Harry felt his face flush red with embarrassment.

'Blimey, not something I want to ever hear again.'

'Lily used to get so busy sometimes, so I would take care of Harry. You actually enjoyed your baths Harry.'

'Okay, please don't say anymore Professor. That is not an image I want to have in my head.'

'Did I hear right, Professor McGonagall bathed you Potter?' Draco smirked from behind him.

'Oh great, that's all I need, for the ferret to know about this.'

'I'm not that embarrassed anymore Harry, because you win this one and I'm glad you did and not me,' Ron laughed again.

'Alright, stop please,' Harry could see the sneaky look on George's face, 'You're not going to tell everyone are you George?'

'Would I do that to you Harry, the saviour was bathed by Professor McGonagall,' everyone laughed loudly.

Harry scowled, 'Thanks Professor.'

'Since none of you are coming back to Hogwarts, you can all call me Minerva. So since you are no longer my students, I get to wind you up. What about you Charlie, when I saw you in the Quidditch changing rooms.'

'You think you're embarrassed Harry, imagine being caught by Minerva right in the middle of having sex, now that's embarrassing. I'm standing there with my pants around my ankles while a certain blonde had some fun.'

Again everyone around the table laughed, 'At least I never got caught Charlie,' Bill snickered.

'I did,' Arthur said calmly, 'by Albus.'

'Dad,' Ron said looking shocked.

'With mum?' Charlie asked.

'Yes, it was you're mother. She couldn't look at Albus for months after that.'

'I think all of us missed out on some fun Harry, why couldn't you have finished off Voldemort sooner, we all might have been shagging somewhere around Hogwarts,' Ron laughed making everyone else laugh again.

'It does seem to be a tradition,' Minerva said, 'We usually catch at least a hundred students in compromising positions. I think all of you were the first lot that we never caught.'

'See, we missed out, oh well,' Neville shook his head but laughed.

'Is that all worked out Kingsley?' Harry asked when he saw Kingsley walk up to join the group.

'Yes, for right after lunch, so come to my office after you've eaten.'

'More riddles, why do you do that Harry, you know it annoys me?' Hermione huffed.

'We can't tell you but everyone will find out later, it's a surprise for someone,' Kingsley grinned, 'So I'll leave you to changing babies nappies Harry.'

Everyone said goodbye to Kingsley, 'Is there something you wanted Malfoy?' Ron asked.

'I just wanted to thank Harry for getting Aunt Andromeda to talk to my mother.'

'She didn't need a lot of convincing, she's been thinking it over for a while, but you're welcome anyway,' Harry saw Draco give him a small nod then walked back over to the Slytherin table.

'I didn't think I'd ever see the day that Draco Malfoy would thank Harry Potter,' Minerva said grinning down at Harry, 'You certainly have a way about you Harry.'

'He just asked a favour and it was something I could help with. I knew he was never as bad as he let everyone believe, even if he still is a prat. But it looks like this little boy wants a feed,' Harry dug his bottle out of the bag then started to feed Teddy.

'Well Gin, after you two have kids, at least you can leave Harry to do everything since he already knows how,' George grinned.

'That's true, I have the babies, Harry can stay home with them,' Ginny said seriously but broke up laughing at the face Harry was making, 'Don't get your wand in a knot Potter.'

'Blimey, I thought you were serious Gin, not that I would mind. But after I train to be an auror, that's going to be a full time job.'

'I know, that's why in around eight years, maybe ten years then we'll have kids, when my Quidditch career is finished, but at least we can have some fun while were waiting for that to happen.'

'Oi, we don't need to hear that about our sister,' Charlie scowled.

'Yeah, we don't need to hear that the saviour is shagging our little Ginny,' George laughed.

'Alright, enough with the blasted names George.'

'He's not worried that we said shagging Ginny, just the names.'

'You're brothers are impossible Ginny, but you know what, they're going to have to get used to hearing about me shagging their sister. Now let me finish feeding Teddy,' Harry chuckled at the shocked looks on the Weasley boys faces. Harry kept concentrating on Teddy, then after he finished his bottle, he brought up his wind then changed him and again, Harry got wet again by little Teddy making everyone laugh. But Ginny cleaned Harry up while Harry finished with his godson. Then Harry put Teddy in Ginny's arms so he could have a drink just as Andromeda and Narcissa stepped into the great hall.

'Everything's okay Harry, Narcissa is going to come back to my place so we can keep talking while Teddy will need a nap.'

'Well I fed and changed him, now he's just enjoying looking around.'

Ginny placed the baby into Andromeda's arms, 'He's so cute, especially when he changes his hair to match Harry's. Do you think he'll do his nose like his mother?'

'I think so, Dora never did until she was four, the hair started very early though, like Teddy. But we'll get this little boy home.'

'I'll come and see you both in a few days Andromeda,' Harry kissed her cheek then kissed Teddy.

'Thank you Harry,' Narcissa gave him a small smile.

'You're welcome Narcissa and it was a way for me to say thank you to you for lying to him, it helped. So now the rest is up to both of you.'

'Yes, it is,' Andromeda smile, then picked up the baby bag before Narcissa took it off of her then the two sisters left the great hall.

'They might be very different, so do you think they were make it up Harry?' Hermione asked.

'If Narcissa stops all this pure-blood and mudblood nonsense they will. I think she will though because most of that came down to old man Malfoy.'

'So what is this surprise you're planning with Kingsley?' Ginny asked.

'It's Kingsley's surprise, I'm just helping him with it. But you'll all see when we surprise the person. So after lunch make sure you all stay in here because you'll get to see someone stunned into silence, but it'll be worth it.'

'More riddles, Harry knows I hate him doing that and I'm sure he does it deliberately,' Hermione huffed again.

Harry knew he couldn't say anything, so he just grinned, then put his arm around Ginny and started to kiss her ignoring all the huffs from the Weasley boys. He tried to act normal, but hearing Ginny again talking about kids after ten years has made Harry think that maybe Ginny wasn't the right person for him even if he does care about her. He hoped he could change her mind, they got on so well, but a family is what Harry wanted, more than anything else so if it meant breaking up with Ginny to get a family that's what he was going to do. He knew he would be accused of being selfish, but after his life, he didn't care what anyone thought, not anymore.
