AN: So for the 26th time I do not own Harry Potter and if any idea seems like someone elses I might have gotten the idea from another story I read.
And I am sorry I took so long to update I wanted to update over a week ago but the site wasn't letting me upload.
August 6th -15 days
With the wedding only 15 days away everyone was in a panic with last minute things. Dress stores were busy all of a sudden as everyone prepared for the biggest event of the year.
At the moment Harry and Ginny were just leaving the Ministry. They had to speak to the person in charge of the portkeys in order to make sure that the needed portkeys were set up and ready to go.
Harry and Ginny were in the lifted about to go down when they heard someone yelling at them to hold the lift. Ginny being the closest held the door open for the man.
"Oh thank you," The man said from behind the pile of papers he was carrying.
"No problem," Ginny replied with a smile. Once the lift doors closed the three were thrust into an awkward silence. It didn't help the fact that all of a sudden the lift stopped.
"Oh my, this doesn't normally happen." Ginny said worried.
"I'm sure it will be fine," Harry said trying to calm Ginny down.
"But we have to meet my mum in an hour and pick up Teddy first. We have so much to do. The Great Hall is almost ready but that's really it and we still need to stop by the florist to make sure that they have our order ready. Remind me to get someone to hang the candles too. I mean I got all the normal ones taken down but I just need to put the new ones up." Ginny said thinking about everything that stills needs to be done.
"Ya those bloody candles better go up after Ron and I spent days charming them," Harry grumbled, Ginny couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"How was I to know that all those charms together don't work well and are temperamental? If I knew order mattered I would have told you guys. Do you really think I want green candles that will fall from the ceiling at random times?" Ginny said with a pout.
"I know it just seems that once we finish one thing ten knew jobs are ready and waiting to get done." Harry said annoyed by how much work this was taking. Even though Harry hadn't let on to the fact that he was nervous he still was. The lift was operated by magic so it shouldn't have stopped and the guy in the lift was giving him a bad vibe. Harry not really wanting to be in the lift much longer closed his eyes and felt the wards around the lift.
Odd Harry thought to himself. Why would a lift have anti portkey and apparate wards? Suddenly it all clicked for Harry.
In a second he had his wand in his hand and had cast a shield charm around himself and Ginny. Ginny seemed surprised by the sudden charm but the man didn't seem fazed at all. In fact as soon as Harry cast a shield charm the man dropped all his papers and pulled out his wand but instead of pointing it at them he pointed it at the door. The lift doors opened and standing in front of them was a man in black robes.
"Thanks Woody," The man said to the man in the lift.
"My name is William," he replied.
"I can never seem to get the hang of the imperius curse they always talk back." He said almost disappointed about the fact. Terry not wanting the man in the way quickly stunned him before he got in the way.
"Now that that is out of the way I believe we should get on with this. You remember me don't you Harry?" Terry asked.
"No should I," Harry answered not knowing who this was.
"You don't even remember me," Terry hissed.
"No idiot he doesn't remember you. If he did he would have told you so." Gin said getting annoyed about the fact that they were stuck in a lift and she still had so much work to do for her wedding.
"Can we please hurry this up? Harry just give him an autograph or whatever the bloody hell you want but we have places to be and people to see so if you could be so kind." Ginny asked as if this situation wasn't a big deal.
"No I am sorry to say that this isn't one of those kidnappings. I am here to kill you then everyone else Harry holds dear." Terry informed them with a wicked smirk.
"Wait, wait, wait, before you threaten to kill my family shouldn't I at least know who you are?" Harry said finally speaking up.
"But of course, where are my manors? I am Terry Boot I was a Ravenclaw in your year." Terry explained.
"Still not ringing any bells," Harry said trying to think who this was.
"How can you not know who I am...?" While Terry went on a rant about how he hated Harry and was going to kill every single one of his family members Harry was undoing the wards. It took Harry about five minutes to take the wards down and send out a message to Kingsley.
Terry hadn't even taken notice to the fact that Ginny was now holding the shield up while Harry was waving his wand in complex patterns undoing the wards. Terry couldn't help it all his years of jealously was pouring out of him. Terry was completely oblivious to everything around him including an upset Ginny. It seemed that Terry's years of hatred were just pouring out of him without an end in sight. It wasn't until Terry started talking about what he was going to do to Harry's loves one that things took a turn for the worst.
"I am also going to kill that werewolf spawn you call your son right in front of you." Terry hadn't realised he crossed a line but he would in a minute.
Ginny had planned to let Harry deal with the situation because if she was to deal with it, it would take the best healers a week to figure out which part of him was which. The problem was this Terry Boot had now threatened her son and that was crossing the line. Terry was about to find out why they say never mess with a mama bear.
The only warning Terry had was Ginny's shout of rage before spell after spell collided with him.
"If you ever touch a hair on my son's head no force in the world will be able to save you from me. My son is not some werewolf spawn you don't even deserve to wipe his enemy's arse." Ginny said unleashing all her pent up anger.
"If I even see you in the same building as my son I will make you think that what I just did now was a slap on the wrist." Ginny spat seeing red.
Harry knowing how much Terry deserved didn't really try to stop Ginny. Plus he didn't want Ginny being mad at him at the moment. It wasn't until the Auror's and Kingsley came that Harry even attempted to get her to stop.
"Gin I think he has had enough. He will be going to jail once he's healed," said Harry gently. Although Harry wasn't sure he thought he heard Ginny mumble, 'not if I can help it'.
"Prison is too nice for this bastard. He threatened my son if I even hear of him being in the same building as him I will not let Harry hold me back." Ginny hissed at the Aurors.
"Now can you please get this scum out of my sight before I do something you will all regret?" Harry hissed to the Aurors.
As the Aurors took Terry away neither Harry nor Ginny saw his evil smile or heard his soft chuckling.
It wasn't until all the Aurors had gone that Ginny burst into tears. "What would have happened if he went after Teddy first? I don't know what I would have done if anything happened to him." Ginny said as she cried on Harry's shoulder.
"I know Gin, I know Gin. It is scary to even think about that. Why don't we go pick Teddy up now and spend the day together?" Harry whispered.
"Ya lets do that. I will tell mum that she can speak to the band without us and we can just give everyone the day off." Ginny said wanting to see Teddy.
"I am really sorry about this Harry, Ginny I will personally make sure he is locked up by the end of the night." Kinsley said.
"Thanks Kingsley that really means a lot to us." Harry told him softly.
"It's no problem I know you would do the same for me." Kingsley replied.
"Kingsley you will be at Sunday dinner, right? I hate to think of you alone in that big office of yours." Ginny said sounding almost like her mother.
"Of course I will. I will do my best to keep this out of the papers but you know how those people are." Kinsley said with a roll of his eyes.
"Unfortunately we do," Harry said with a chuckle.
"I will see you Sunday." Kingsley said and without another word he left for his office.
"Come on dear let's go get Teddy." Ginny said to Harry. Harry not needing to be told twice grabbed Ginny's hand before apparating them to Shell Cottage.
OOOOOOOO
As soon as Harry and Ginny's feet touched the ground Ginny was running to the house. "Gin there is no need to run!" Harry yelled but Ginny either didn't hear him or didn't care because she only sped up.
When Harry got into the cottage 30 seconds later his heart stopped. Ginny had a crazed look in her eye and her wand was pointed right under Bill's chin.
"I will ask you this one more time, where is my son?" Ginny hissed though her teeth.
Harry heard Bill gulp before he replied, "We gave him to you."
"How could you have given him to me WHEN I AM STANDING RIGHT HERE?" Ginny screamed and Bill had to duck before the sparks coming off Ginny's wand set fire to his hair.
"They must have been using polyjuice. I had no idea. She said she was in a rush, she even called Teddy her Teddy bear I thought it was you." Bill pleaded wanting Ginny to understand.
"It couldn't have been polyjuice," Harry cut in. "As soon as a Potter has a fiancé or the child is baptised it invokes some ancient protection on them. The lady would have had to have her hair and face transfigured for it to work. Also she won't be able to do anything to Teddy. If she does anything an impenetrable shield will be formed around him and he has an automatic portkey that will transport him straight to the house." Harry said quietly. Harry noticing no one was saying anything looked up to see Bill and Ginny looking at him in shock.
"Why didn't you say that in the first place? What are we doing standing here get Teddy back." Ginny screeched.
"It's not that simple, the protection won't active unless Teddy feels threatened, and the person that took her looks likes his mother." Harry said needing to sit down.
"So what are we suppose to do?" Ginny asked backing up until she could go no further. Once Ginny back hit the wall she slowly slid down the wall, it wasn't until she was sitting that she started to cry. Harry didn't know what to do he was in shock. Everyone was quiet for the next ten minutes no one knowing what to do or say.
Finally Harry had enough. "I did not go through a war and watch countless of love ones die to have my son taken away from me. If you need me I will be at the ministry with Terry." Harry said the last part so sweetly that even Ginny was scared. Harry didn't wait for anyone to say anything before he stormed out of the house. Anyone could see that Harry was losing any restraint he had on his magic. The entire house was shaking and Harry's hair was being whipped around by imaginary wind. Neither Ginny nor Bill heard Harry leave but they could tell that he had left by the fact that the house had stopped shaking.
"Whoa," Bill said after a few minutes of silence.
"I have never seen him like that he wasn't even that mad when he defeated Voldemort." Ginny whispered.
"Well, look on the bright side," When Ginny gave him a glare he quickly continued. "Teddy will be back before dinner."
Ginny couldn't help but silently agree. No one would be stupid enough to not give Harry what he wanted when he was like this.
OOOOOOOOOOOO
"MINISTER MINISTER!" Someone screamed as he was running through the corridors.
"John what in the blazes are you screaming about," Kingsley asked sticking his head out of his office.
"SOMEONE IS TRYING TO BREAK THROUGH THE WARDS" John screamed in a panic.
When Kingsley registered what was being said he lost some colour in his face. "That's impossible. No one could be able to break through this wards not even Merlin himself could." Kingsley said running to John.
"I am sorry to inform you of this sir but someone is and succeeding to." John said terrified.
"What is their target?" Kingsley asked rushing to the lift.
"I do not know sir but they will be appearing in the atrium in less than a minute." John said as they both got in the lift.
"How long have they been working on the wards and why was I only notified now." Kingsley said pulling his wand out.
"Sir they only started breaking in a minute ago. I have called all hit wizards and aurors to the atrium." John said gravely. Before Kingsley could say anything else the lift doors opened.
"How long before they-" Kingsley didn't need John to answer because he could see the wizard appearing in the middle of the atrium.
All the witches and wizards pulled out their wands but no one shot a spell because of the power coming off this person.
He was glowing with power and seemed to be creating his own storm: with lightening. Kingsley rushed so he was standing in front of him.
"So sorry to drop in like this Kingsley but where are you holding Terry Boot?" The wizard asked. Kingsley couldn't believe it, "Harry?" Kingsley whispered.
As soon as Kingsley said Harry people all around them were gossiping and taking pictures of Harry. The one thing that was said over and over again was that they would hate to be Terry.
"He is being held in cell number one." Kingsley said weakly. "Harry what happened why do you need to see him so-" For the second time today Kingsley didn't get to finish his question this time it was because Harry disappeared with a pop.
No one said anything for a moment until, "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR GET TO CELL 1 BEFORE HE KILLS HIM." Kingsley screamed as there was a mad rush for the lift.
John having enough screamed, "NOT THE LIFTS YOU IMBECILES THE WARDS ARE DOWN." Soon hundreds of pops were heard.
OOOOOOOOO
"You will be back Harry Potter." Terry Boot said laughing to himself. Terry knew that no one would take him seriously so he had set certain things in motion to make sure he will be taken seriously.
"That Weasley girl thinks she can treat me like some fool and not even take my treat seriously. I bet she is taking it seriously now." Terry kept mumbling to himself about how he should be taken seriously. It wasn't until he heard a pop from the other side of his door that he stopped talking.
Terry realizing that Potter must have figured out that he took something and was coming to beg him. Terry sat up straight with a wide smile on his face as he waited for Potter to come in.
Instead of the door slowly opening like Terry imagined the door was blasted off its hinges and the person in the door caused Terry's smile to fall from his face as he scrambled to the wall.
"H...ar...har...Potter," Terry gulped.
"Where is my son," Harry hissed so quietly that Terry had to stain his ears to hear him.
"Yes...um...well...I will tell you where he is...um...once...you." Terry never got to finish because it is quite difficult to speak with someone strangling you.
"I think you have our positions reversed. You are in no position to make demands." Terry could only nod.
"You have one of two options you tell me where he is right now or I break into your mind with all my strength and if you can somehow still function I will hide you in a place where no one can ever find you. And after I find out what condition my son is in I will see if I should just kill you or leave you to Ginny." Normally Terry wasn't once to cave so fast but considering the power and hatred coming off Potter he decided it would be in his best interest to just tell him.
"I..I..." Harry loosened his grip. "He is a warehouse in London." Terry said. Harry not wanting to waste any more time quickly let go of Terry.
"I swear to Merlin if anyone so much as touches a single hair on his head I will kill you with my bare hands." Harry whispered into Terry's ear. Terry saw Harry pull his wand out of his pocket but instead of it being pointed at him Harry pointed it to the door.
"No one will be able to get in and it is impossible for you to get out so don't even try. I will see you in minute and you better hope that my son is okay." Harry said as he disappeared in a whirl of robes.
It took Terry a few moments to clear his head. As soon as Terry found his voice he ran at the door and started screaming for help but the people on the other side had just as much luck getting in as he was of getting out.
OOOOOOOOO
Harry knew he was overreacting it would not be good to rush into the warehouse with his magic out of control like this. Besides if Teddy was in danger he would be at the manor with Ginny.
Harry took a couple of calming breaths before he sent a patronus to Ginny letting her know that Terry had told him where Teddy was and he was going to have him in a couple of minutes.
Taking one more calming breath Harry walked into the warehouse.
Harry hadn't taken more than one step before he froze in horror. Harry was staring at thousands of pictures of himself. Every inch of the walls were covered with his pictures.
"What is this place?" Harry mumbled to himself in horror. It looked like one of those secret Harry Potter Fan Clubs.
"What have I gotten myself into?" Harry said before taking a deep breath and walking into the heart of the fan club.
OOOOOOOO
"Quiet down girls!" The girl in the middle of the head desk yelled.
"And boys!" "And boys," The girl said rolling her eyes.
"Welcome back to the Official Secret Harry Potter Fan Club we have a lot to discuss today. As you know we were given the honour of taking care of Harry's son Teddy. And I believe that since we have Teddy we can trade Teddy for weekly Harry Potter appearances at our meetings. What do you girls and guys think?" The girl said. Soon many voices were yelling their opinions on the matter at hand.
"Why don't we just give him back? That way he won't want to kill us." One sensible person suggested.
"No how about we return him and then Harry Potter will be so grateful to the person who returned his son that he will do us a favour." A loud brunette said.
"I like that idea." The leader said thoughtfully.
"How about I, as the leader, return Harry Potter's son," She suggested upsetting most of the members.
While everyone was yelling Harry quickly slipped into the room where there were holding Teddy.
"Teddy," Harry yelled running up to Teddy. "I was so worried. Are you hurt anywhere?" Harry said pulling Teddy into a hug and checking him over to make sure that he wasn't hurt.
"Daddy, that tickles," Teddy said laughing as Harry peppered his forehead with kisses.
"Teddy bear how are you?" Harry said as soon as he saw his son safe.
"I'm good daddy. Look at all the toys those people gave me." Teddy said pointing at the pile of hundreds of toys.
Seeing that Teddy wasn't in any danger Harry started looking around. The room was almost as big as Teddy's bedroom and it was the only room in this whole place that wasn't covered in his face. The room was filled with all kinds of foods, and every toy imaginable.
"Teddy it's time to leave." Harry said not wanting to be here when the people found out that he was here.
"Okay daddy, but can I tell Jessie goodbye first?" Teddy asked.
"Who's Jessie?" Harry asked picking Teddy up.
"She is the girl that stayed with me. But some rude lady needed to speak with her." Teddy informed Harry.
So that's why Teddy wasn't brought back to the Manor. He had a friend, Harry thought to himself.
"How about we go see mummy now?" Harry said as calmly as possible.
"Okay daddy," Teddy said leaning his head on Harry's shoulder. Without another word Harry and Teddy apparated out of the ware house with a loud echoing pop.
OOOOOOOO
A shrill whistle pierced the crowd.
"Everybody calm down," A short brunette said getting on to the platform.
"Here is what we are going to do," Before she could tell them what was going to happen, a loud pop interrupted them.
"What was that?" One of the more ditzy girls asked.
"That sounded like someone apparating out of here," The leader of the fan club said sharing a look with a person in the crowd.
"Can someone please check on our little guest?" The brunette girl asked not having a good feeling about this.
The person in charge of taking care of Teddy quickly made her way to the room Teddy was being held in. The loud shriek confirmed any suspicions that brunette had: there guest was gone for good along with any chances of meeting Harry Potter.
OOOOOOO
"Ginny sit down you are going to where a hole in the floor from all you're pacing." Bill said annoyed at Ginny. Ever since they made their way to the manor Ginny would not sit still. She had to be doing something at first it was cleaning the already spotless kitchen and now it was this nonstop pacing.
"Oh am I annoying you Bill?" Ginny asked fuming mad.
"How could I be so insensitive? I mean it is only my son missing it's not like it is really that important," Ginny said the sarcasm dripping off her words.
"I am just as worried as you are Gin." "Don't call me that," Ginny said already mad.
"Right sorry I forgot." Bill said rolling his eyes. "But Ginny, Harry Potter, as in defeater of Voldemort, most powerful man to ever be on this planet is out looking for your son. And I have never seen him so mad. Harry will stop at nothing to get him back; trust me," Bill said softly.
Ginny just nodded at Bill before she sat down in the kitchen chair beside him.
"Okay, I guess you're right," Ginny said not really meaning it. Just because what Bill said was true didn't make her any less worried for the boy she has come to think of as her son.
"I'll be back in a minute Ginny. I am just going to floo the house to make sure Fleur and Vicky are okay." Bill as making his way out of the kitchen.
Once Bill was out of the kitchen Ginny spoke up. "Okay I don't really know what to do here," Ginny mumbled looking up.
"I was just hoping that you guys could send me a sign to let me know that Teddy is okay or alive. I just need to know this not knowing his killing me," Ginny said wiping away a tear that escaped.
As if an answer to her prayers Harry's patronus came strutting into the kitchen.
Suddenly Harry's voice was heard throughout the kitchen. "Gin I found Teddy. We will be home in ten minutes top. See you soon. Oh and if Kingsley floos just tell him you have no idea how to get through the spells I put on Terry's cell."
"Thanks Prongs," Ginny whispered petting Prong's nose. "BILL, HARRY FOUND TEDDY THEY SHOULD BE HERE IN TEN MINUTES," Ginny yelled to Bill.
"Damn Ginny your voice sure does travel." Bill said coming into the kitchen rubbing his ears.
"If I didn't yell how would everyone hear me in this place: it's huge?" Ginny said waving her hands around the kitchen as if to say 'see'.
"I don't know how do the muggles do it?" Bill said a bit louder than normal, due to the fact he couldn't hear in one ear.
"Bill there is no need to yell I am standing right beside you," Ginny said trying her best to hide her smirk.
"Haha, very funny Ginny." Bill said sarcastically.
"Whatever I know you think I am hilarious. Harry better be here with Teddy soon because if they aren't I am going to have to go and find them myself." Ginny said firmly.
"Ginny you just said that Harry told you that he would be home with Teddy in like five minutes." Bill said noticing his hunger.
"Bill is it really the time for food?' Ginny asked with a glare when she noticed Bill making his way to the refrigerator.
"Hey you should be thankful I waited this long: I was starving." Bill said as he rummaged through the refrigerator.
"I really love this thing." Bill said with his head still in the refrigerator. "I still have no idea how Harry got it to work on around magic do you think he would be able to get one for us?" Bill asked.
"I'm sure he would if you asked." Ginny told him looking at the clock.
"He better be here in a minute," Ginny mumbled to herself at the same time a loud popping sound filled the kitchen.
"TEDDY BEAR, HARRY," Ginny screamed throwing herself at the pair.
"Mommy," Teddy said happily as he jumped from his dad's arms into Ginny's.
"Oh thank Merlin you are safe. I was so worried. You are such a brave boy. Never do that to me again Teddy do I make myself clear." Ginny said through tears. Teddy could only watch as his mum smothered him in hugs and kisses while she disciplined and praised him at the same time.
When Ginny paused waiting for Teddy to reply Harry could see Teddy not knowing what to say so he mouthed what Teddy was suppose to say.
"I'm sorry mummy, I love you." Teddy said in the cutest voice he could muster.
"Well I think that is my cue to leave." Bill said making his way to the door.
"Thanks Bill. And sorry about all of this," Harry said shaking Bill's hand before he left.
"No problem that's what family is for." Bill said waving it off as if it was nothing.
"Now how about we all have a family movie night," Harry said seeing that Ginny wasn't going to be letting go of Teddy anytime soon.
"That sounds like a great idea," Ginny said picking Teddy up.
"Mum I can walk on my own," Teddy whined, last week he decided that he was too old to be carried.
Harry listened as Teddy and Ginny voices got smaller and smaller as they made their way to the family room.
"Wait for me!" Harry yelled as he started following Ginny and Teddy up the stairs.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER YOU BETTER GET YOUR ARSE BACK TO MY MINISTRY AND FIX THE DAMN WARDS AND LET TERRY BOOT GO. HE IS TRYING TO CLAW HIS WAY OUT OF HIS CELL." Kingsley yelled furiously through the house.
"Yeah right like that would work," Harry said thinking about Terry trying to claw his way out of the cell.
"HARRY POTTER I MEAN IT YOU BETTER GET YOUR ARSE OVER HERE IN THE NEXT MINUTE OR ELSE I WILL BURN THAT RESRAINING ORDER YOU HAVE ON RITA." Kingsley said coming out of the floo room.
"Why didn't you ask," Harry said with a cheeky smile.
"Just do it," Kingsley said pointing to the floo.
"Gin, Teddy I will be back home in 15," Kingsley glared at Harry. "Make that an hour. So you should just start the movie without me." Harry finished.
"Just go," Kingsley said having enough.
"See you soon, love yeah," Harry called up before following Kingsley to the Ministry. Harry was in for a long yelling then he would have to put up the wards in the ministry: which should only take him 10 minutes at most.
AN: Hello everyone,
I am so happy to be finally done with this chapter. I am sorry if you don't like it I know it wasn't one of my best. I realize I took a little longer than expected to update and I am sorry but I had a bad case of writers block which I only recently got over. But on to good news i may not be done this story but I am starting on the sequel and I have nothing but ideas. I will be doing a story of harry and Ginny's kids, including Teddy. It will start during James's first year and I will do a chapter maybe two for each year until I get to James's 6th year where I will be having more then just two. And I got the ideas from someother stories I have been reading of thier life after the war.
Also at the moment I am a little crazy about Gossip Girl and Dan and Blair, DAIR ALL THE WAy. Sorry I just had to say that. And since a new Gossip Girl won't be out until APRIL 18, I am so upset about that, I will try and focus on this. My life as also just gotten about 10 times more complicated so I am hoping to use this as an outlet so hopefully that means more chapters sooner but no promises.
Sorry for making this AN so long I doubt most of you are even reading this part still, oh well.
Love Lovely42
