I don't own Harry Potter.

A/N I got an anonymous review from someone called utaketoolong telling me to 'kill this story' and that it 'takes to long to update', also my updates are too short. Instead of complaining just write your own story. I do have a life outside of Fanfic including a full time job. Sometimes my brain is just fried of good ideas. This story is my baby since NO ELSE HAS THIS PLOT!!! I update as fast as I can for all of my stories.

This chapter takes place in February.

Chapter Twenty-one

Andromeda's POV

I am now eight months pregnant and as big as Malfoy Manor. Mum is teaching me breathing techniques that were taught to her by her mother-in-law and was used by many generations of Potter women. The best thing about these exercises is that I'm not in as much pain as I was.

I have decided on two names, Nymphadora Andromeda Tonks and, despite my dislike of the name at first, Theodore Jupiter Tonks. I will call him T.J. for short. Ted would approve of it when I tell him my choices.

I should mention that I am being forced to stay in bed all day except to use the washroom and shower. I'm also forbidden to use magic above a Second Year level. Ted threatened to take away my wand because I tried to summon a book. They gave me a bell to ring so it's not my fault that everyone ignored me the first five times I rang that bell. Why should it matter that it was nearly two in the morning. I couldn't sleep and I need to do something to pass the time. As much as I love having a baby, counting how many times the baby kicks isn't my idea of fun. Though, for those who care, it was 1,326 times between one and two a.m.


Ted's POV

Today was my last day of training with Alastor Moody. Why didn't anyone warn me that ten weeks with Moody would be the equivalent of three years of Auror training? The only thing that Aurors know that I don't is the parchmentwork.

Professor Dumbledore assigned Charlus and I to patrol Oxford and a few of the surrounding in the area for anything odd. I'm not sure what he meant by odd. Ever since I learned that I am a wizard odd seemed to be the norm.

Dorea has been practicing her Patronus so that she can send me a message so that I will know when Andi goes into labor. Andi would kill me if I miss the birth of our child unless I had a really good excuse, nothing short of a Death Eater raid can keep me away.

Right now I'm more worried about who will take care of our baby if something happens to Andi's parents and us.


Andromeda sat up in the bed and muttered a quick lumos. She looked at the clock and sighed in annoyance when she saw the time. She had been lying awake for the last three hours. It didn't help that the baby decided that now would be a good time to have a mini temper tantrum. She did the one thing that made sense and she woke Ted.

"Ted, can we talk?" He nodded and went to fix some tea for the two of them. He had an idea what she wanted to talk about and knew that it would be a bad idea to go into this without chamomile tea.

"What do you want to talk about?" He handed her a mug and saw her smile when she recognized the scent. Chamomile always helped her relax.

"I know that you are part of the Order. I accept that even though I don't like it. I never wanted you to continually put your life in danger like dad does. I don't want to be afraid that one day Professor Dumbledore will come here and say you were killed. But I accept that I can't change your mind about this. I just need some security for the baby incase the worse happens to my parents and us."

"I know that. I was thinking that maybe we should ask someone in the Order to be a godparent. We both know that we don't have any friends that we could trust raising a child. Neither one of us has any close family.

"Professor McGonagall has the boys but I really don't know her as well as the rest of the family. I'm sure she would be a good parent but this baby is a Potter. Plus, I think she already has too many responsibilities. Diggle makes me a little uncomfortable. I don't think he's completely there. The McKinnon family or Bones family are both going to be huge targets to attacks and don't need another child in the way." Ted was ranting and he knew he was.

"Ted, I want Moody to be the baby's godfather. He's paranoid but usually right. He would keep the baby safe no matter what." Ted looked shocked at his wife's words before he nodded in agreement.


Adrian's POV

There hasn't been an attack since Aubrey. Most people think that the have stopped and I hope that they are right. Somehow, though, I don't think that is the case. Something strange is happening and I think, in some why, I am in the middle of it all. That is confusing though since only Muggle-borns are in danger of the Chamber's monster.

I haven't heard the voice but that doesn't really mean anything other than I'm not where whatever is attacking the students. Maybe it's staying in the chamber when its master isn't around. I just wish I knew what it was. I will find out what's going on and who's behind all these attacks against Muggle-borns. Hopefully I can do this before anyone else is attacked, especially Lily and Dorcas.


Sirius' POV

Reggie has started to run the other way when I try to approach him. I don't understand why he's doing this. I thought that we were friends. When I look at him I see so much sadness in his eyes. No eleven-year-old should have that much pain. I also see longing. I would recognize that anywhere since at one time I felt the same way.

I can't even imagine what could be keeping him away from me.


James' POV

McKinnon is driving the team insane. Ever since we won our match against Hufflepuff he's been acting like an overexcited puppy. Our next game is on the 24th against Ravenclaw. They lost against Slytherin but only because Slytherin caught the Snitch. The Ravenclaw Chasers are really good but their Seeker and Keeper have nothing compared to Adrian and Remus.

Sirius showed us plans to help Remus during the full moon. It's so crazy that it might actually work. He wants us to become Animagi. I looked at his research and all seems sound but we are only twelve and haven't even covered the basics of what Animagi are. We've seen Aunt Minnie transform loads but seeing and doing are two very different things. However, I know that this is the only way to help Remus.


Valentine's Day is a day that all males learn to dread at an early age. Those who are romantically impaired did their best to woo the girl they liked by sending them boxes of Honeydukes finest chocolates or flowers they found near the Forbidden Forest. Some even sent pink heart-shaped notes containing poems to those in different Houses.

James Charlus Potter, who knew at the tender age of twelve that he was in love with Lily Marie Evans, sent the girl a teddy bear he made himself out of Peter's old fuzzy green sweater and two beetles that were transfigured into buttons. Needless to say that it was a very ugly bear. Lily hated the teddy bear (only because James gave it to her) and sent it to her sister, Petunia, who burnt the poor teddy bear without opening the package it was in.

While the poor teddy bear was in flight, Ted Tonks was looking for Andi's communication mirror. She kept it near her bed at all times and now that he needed it, it was nowhere to be found. He knew that it had to be in the bedroom since the only other room Andi was allowed in was the bathroom. There was no reason for her to take the mirror in there.

The reason that Ted was looking for the mirror was because Andi was in labor a month early and the triplets had ever right to know as soon as possible. Owl post just wasn't fast enough since it took an owl two days to get to Hogwarts from Oxford.

Ted decided to look under the bed to see if she just happened to drop the mirror while falling asleep talking to the boys. He was thrilled to see that it was under the bed. He looked at the time and saw that the boys would be in class and would call them at 1330 while they were havening lunch.

Also while the unfortunate teddy bear was in flight, the Second Year Gryffindors were setting up for their Transfiguration class, as it was the second class they had for the day. McGonagall's lesson was about turning tea into warm apple cider. However, she forgot the corrected homework that she knew she had to hand back that day in her office.

"Do not even think about attempting to transfigure anything while I am gone. That includes the three of you." She looked at the corner where the three Potters were sitting. She knew that they could do it but it was against the rules to let the students to do that kind of magic unsupervised while they were under Fifth Year.

The eight students knew that it took approximately nine minutes, bar any pranks, for Professor McGonagall to retrieve something from her office. So, when twenty minutes passed they became worried.

"Hey Dorcas, maybe you should go check on her," said Sirius.

"Why me?" she huffed from the front of the room.

"You're the only one here who won't get into trouble for being out in the hall while we're supposed to having class," James replied for his brother. She stuck her tongue out at the three boys but did as she was asked.

The next thing that any one heard were screams coming from down the hall were McGonagall had her office. A moment later it was silent. The rest of the class ran out to the office and saw that McGonagall and Dorcas were both Petrified.

What no one but Adrian heard was a silky voice saying that they were hungry.

James and Sirius ran to Dumbledore's office and when they returned Madam Pomfrey and Professor Catalina Guerra were with him. The seven remaining students from McGonagall's class were questioned and sent back to their Common Room.

James went up to the dorm and called. He heard crying in the background and a huge smile on his sister's face but it quickly fell when she saw James' face. He told her what happened. She did smile a little before she said bye. She had twins, Nymphie and T.J.

A/N I know that Nymphadora was an only child but I gave Andi twins as an explanation as to why she isn't a Metamorphmagus in canon. Since in canon Andi was disowned they couldn't afford a proper Healer and she couldn't save T.J., who had his umbilical cord around his neck, putting Andi into a deep depression losing a child causes. But with Andi being a Potter she has the money for a Healer and T.J. was saved. I won't be putting this in the story but I thought it was time for a new twist.

And I'm sorry if I offend anyone with the teddy bear being treated so cruelly
