I had never seen him so frazzled. "Andromeda… she's dead."

Andromeda had once been known as Tonks' mother. She was now the person who cared for Teddy.

Hermione stood up. "Is Teddy…alright?"

I didn't want to hear Harry's response. I wanted with all of my heart for Teddy to grow up in a warm, happy atmosphere. Teddy had been born during the battle, in the very worst of times. Both his mother and father died before he could remember. His only blood related relative had been Andromeda. Before Tonks and Remus died, they deemed Harry Teddy's godfather. At the time, I had thought it was kind of stupid to grant custody of your son to a boy under the age of twenty. Not to mention that he was pretty much destined to die. But it was the right thing to do, even if they didn't realize it.

Harry nodded. "It was close. That's what scares me so much. She was killed and Teddy was right next to her."

Hermione put her hands over her mouth. "Oh, Harry…". My eyes followed Hermione as she started to make tea.

"I'm not here to stay, Hermione." I felt distaste in his words. Neither Hermione nor I said anything. This was hard for him, we could tell.

Hermione sat down in a kitchen chair. I listened as Hermione said, in a volume just above a whisper, "Is there anything we can do?"

Harry sighed. "He doesn't know. Teddy doesn't know she's really dead."

I looked at Harry and realized just how hard this was for him. Teddy had no parents. Harry had no parents. Everyone saw how badly Harry wanted to give Teddy a normal childhood.

Harry continued talking. "Ginny and I have custody. He's at Molly and Arthur's right now. They haven't told him anything yet. Ginny's getting all of the medical and school and handling the funeral. I'm going to tell him…everything. From the time his mum and dad were in school to the time he was born. Not everything about his family's story is dark."

I felt as if I should say or do something. Harry was my best mate and that was the least I could do. "Harry…he might not understand now. But he will one day. You and Ginny are giving him just the thing he needs, a real mom and dad. You're doing everything you can for him."

Harry told his glasses off, cleaning them with his shirt. "That's the thing. We have a room for Teddy, but it never came off as a permanent. For Teddy our house has been the sleep away camp, but never his home. His room looks like someone fifteen years older than him. There is no way we are going to be able to convince him that this will be permanent if we continue like this! Ginny and I are starting to remind me of the Dursleys! He'll probably think we're taking him out of pity because of the baby!" I had never seen Harry so worked up about something.

Hermione walked over to Harry and patted him on the shoulder. "Ron and I have got it covered. You go help Teddy. He needs you more than ever."

Harry nodded and the next thing I knew he was gone.

I stood and watched as Hermione rolled up her paper and put the markers back in the box. As she placed the items by the door, she smiled to herself.

Hermione started opening cabinets. "Do you have any chocolate chips?"

I decided it would be better not to ask questions. "No…"

Hermione nodded and reached into her bag, pulling out the mobile phone she carried with her.

I ran to the bedroom closet, following Hermione.

The phone was positioned between her ear and shoulder. She took out all of the boxes in the closet and lined them up.

"Mum! Thank goodness! I have an emergency." I couldn't help but smile. I had no idea what Hermione was up to. But whatever it was she knew what she was doing.

"No, no. Ron's fine. Remember Teddy, Harry's godson? His grandmother just died and...yes…"

She looked at me as I simply stood there. "Look for your Cannons stuff." she whispered to me.

I followed orders. Taking out anything Teddy might like. I came across a series of posters which featured all of the European teams. I figured that even if Teddy hated the Cannons, he had to of liked one of the teams.

"Harry and Ginny have custody," she was back to talking to her mum. "I need chocolate chip cookies, Teddy's favorite…" While Hermione listened to the voice on the other line, I showed her the posters. She smiled and gave me a thumbs up. Something as simple as that made me feel warm inside.

"Oh, Dad! How could I forget? He loves them! That would be great! We'll be over in an hour. Thanks and Ron sends his love!"

I handed her a Quittich picture frame. It had the goals and on each was a clip for pictures.

"Brilliant!" Hermione stood up; taking the things I had come across.

"Two things Hermione..." In one arm I held a quilt with a quittich emblem sewn onto it. The other arm was wrapped around Hermione's waist. "First off, I'm guessing we're giving Teddy the room of his dreams? And second, your parents don't even know we're engaged."

Hermione laughed and set down her load. Wrapping her arms around my neck, she smiled up at me. "They know. The first time we went to their house as a couple, they knew we were going to get married. I mean they practically had to tear you off of me. That's how badly you wanted to be with me. What's great is that you still want me…"

Okay guys… I see that there is NO fluff in this chapter. But trust me, there will be more soon!!! I wanted to bring Teddy (offspring of Tonks, my all time favorite character!) and a bit of Hermione's parents in the story. You'll formally meet them soon…

Please review. Haha…the wait between chapters is determined on the response I get from the previous chapters…REVIEW!!!
