Chapter 14


"Ego restituo vos ut plenus valetudo," he said softly. A white bubble floated out of Harry's chest and split into two, which floated over and into each of James and Lily's chests. Both James and Lily at the same time turned their sleeping heads toward Harry, and he saw them pinken up a bit in their cheeks.

He took a deep breath and folded their hands together holding them aloft and together in his own hand.

"Vestri vitualamen est presto," he whispered as he tapped their hands with his wand. He watched as they breathed in and out for a full minute before separating their hands and standing up. He turned and walked over to Ginny and hugged her, squishing Teddy between them.

The baby squalled and they pulled apart. Sirius, seeing Harry's need for comfort, took the baby from Ginny and the two hugged again.

Sirius held the baby and watched as his eyes stared at the older mans face. He sat in a conjured chair in the corner holding the baby and staring at his old friends. Seventeen years he thought they were dead. He didn't know who to be angry at, Dumbledore for not telling him before he went after Wormtail, or James and Lily for not informing him of this plan in some way. He figured he'd ask Harry who he was mad at and see if that helped.

"Harry? Just out of curiosity. Are you going to go talk to Dumbledore like the letter said?" he asked. Harry snorted.

"I did before coming to you. I didn't know about you until after I forced Dumbledore to tell me about why he didn't inform me of my parents further existence. I wasn't as mad at him for not telling me about them, as I was for not telling anyone else. What that did to you and Remus was unforgivable. Because Dumbledore kept quiet, you spent twelve years in prison and Remus was a loner and social outcast who thought all his friends were either dead or traitors. I understood that not telling me was an important part of the spells, and the protection it served me, but he could have told you two at the very least. He could also have gotten you out of prison since he knew the truth, but he didn't. That alone lost all my respect for him. Even if I had to be placed with Petunia, you still could have been in my life.

"When he told me that you were still alive, I almost blasted his damn picture off the wall. Ginny here grabbed my wand out of my hand, thankfully, but still…if I ever go back into that office he better pretend to be asleep. I don't have the patience to deal with him anymore," he finished. He had conjured up a love seat for him and Ginny to sit on. They sat in silence for a few more minutes.

"What's taking so damn long? You were awake in like, five minutes," Harry said quietly. He was staring at his mum, who was closest to him, watching her for a movement or a groan, anything to show she was alive.

"Well, they were in a coma for a lot longer and me, kiddo. Take it easy, and breathe. They'll wake up soon enough. By the way, Happy Birthday, that receptionist reminded me," he said with a smirk. Harry took the bait, knowing that he was trying to distract him.

"Thanks, but do you know how old I am?" asked Harry. Sirius opened his mouth then closed it. Ginny giggled.

"I thought so. What kind of Godfather are you, don't even know how old your godson is? Tsk, tsk, tsk," Harry said jokingly.

"I'll have you know, young man, I've been in a coma for the last…few years. I am a great Godfather, I even change into a big, fluffy dog for you to play with. What kind of mediocre Godfather can do that?" he asked snottily. "Eighteen," Ginny said earning a glare from Harry.

"Hah, the girlfriend's on my side, I win again!" Sirius cheered. Teddy squalled again, so Harry stood up and took his Godson back.

"Yes, an amazing Godfather you are. When are you going to take me to the zoo?" Harry asked whining.

"I'll take you to the zoo, on your next birthday, this one you get your parents back, and a party. Don't be greedy," said Sirius condescendingly. Ginny snorted.

"Yes, Harry we don't want to spoil you. Don't want to make your head too big," she giggled. Sirius smirked.

"Why is everyone ganging up on me? At least your with me Teddy bear," he said. Suddenly, he smelled a stinky smell and he wrinkled his nose.

"Oh, gross!" he said loudly. "Not you too Teddy! Ginny?" he said as he held the baby out away from him and towards her. Sirius started laughing loudly.

"Oh no you don't Potter, he's not my kid, or my godson," she said plugging her nose. Sirius just sat and laughed his loud barking laugh. He was so loud no one heard the double groan from the beds.

"What? I'm supposed to change a nappy? Fine, where is his bag?" Harry huffed and looked around. He couldn't find the bag and then remembered shrinking it and putting it in his pocket. He couldn't hold Teddy and dig in his pockets looking for the shrunken bag, and neither Ginny nor Sirius would take the stinky baby so he walked over to his mother's bed and laid the baby down next to her.

After a few seconds of digging he bent over to change the nappy. Sirius and Ginny chatted for a few minutes.

"Teddy, you stinky boy. What did you eat? This is so icky, stinky," he muttered to the giggling baby. He was smiling at the tot while doing this and it made Teddy squeal loudly in giddiness. When the baby was nice and clean he leaned over and blew a raspberry on the bare tummy, making Teddy scream and laugh. Then he tickled his ribs carefully and wiggled his fingers over his tummy like he was going to tickle the baby again, making Teddy giggle with glee.

Once he was done, and it only took him about two minutes since Andromeda made him practice for three hours one day, he glanced up at him mum before picking up a fresh, happy Teddy.

Once again, what he saw almost made him drop the baby.

Emerald green eyes stared back at him.
