Chapter Two – Teddy's Big Arrival

No. 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey – August 22TH, 1994

Harry James Potter, the Famed Boy-Who-Lived was laying on his small bed in the smallest room of the house looking up at the ceiling, he was now 14 and looking forward to his fourth year at Hogwarts and spending time with his friends. Hermione had written letters to him about the need to get all his homework done before returning to school and that when they could meet up she would check it like always. Ron spoke about how much time they missed out on playing Quidditch at the Barrow.

Hedwig was out for her nightly hunt and so Harry was alone, locked in his room for the night. As Harry sighed moments before a blinding white light flooded the room and a weight fell upon Harry's chest followed by a loud youth voice.

"DADDY!"

Once the light retreated and Harry could see again, his vision was filled with a small boy's big green eyes. Green eyes that matched his own, along with messy raven-black hair. Harry had no time to think as the small boy wrapped his small arms around his neck in a Hermione-like hug.

"It worked, I'm here to help you save mummy so we can be a family."

"W-what do you mean, w-who are you?"

But before the little boy could answer Uncle Vernon stormed into the room after unlocking all the locks, his round face turning a darker shade of purple with anger and frustration.

"WHAT IN THE HEAVENS IS GOING ON IN HERE! WHO THE BLOODY HELL IS THAT?"

"Great Uncle Vernon said a bad word, daddy."

"DADDY? Who did you get pregnant boy, I'll not be paying for any support."

"I swear I do not know what's going on uncle Vernon."

"I don't care but if this little brat is your son then you deal with it."

Uncle stormed back out of the room and proceeded to re-lock both Harry and his new son in the room together. Harry sat up in bed holding the small boy to his body, attempting to understand what was truly going on.

"Okay, let's start with your name."

"My name is Ed-ward Re-mus Potter-Black."

"Okay, well I know of a Remus lupin are you named after him?"

"Yep."

Harry couldn't help but smile at Edward's short reply.

"Okay, Edward…"

"Teddy, you called me Teddy. So do everyone."

"Alright, Teddy. Do you know who your mummy is?"

"Yep, Nym-Nymph…"

"Nymph… who"

"Nymph-a-dora"

"Does Mummy have a last name?"

"Yep, that's Tonks."

Again Teddy's reply brought a smile to Harry's face, so now he had a name he could track down. But back to the matter at hand, he had a small boy that looked like him saying that he is the son of this Nymphadora and himself.

"Teddy, how old are you?"

"I am five 'ears old."

Teddy held up his hand with all five digits held out wide, Harry chuckled lightly at that. Pulling Teddy down on the bed so that Harry could sit at his small writing desk, Harry pulled out a piece of parchment and ink.

"Okay, I am going to write a letter saying that you are here and that Nymphadora your mummy needs to come here. What is your home address?"

"'umber 12 Grimmold Place."

"I think you mean Grimmauld Place, yes?"

"Yep, that's where we live."

Harry stopped writing at that moment knowing that Sirius, his godfather said that was his family's home and that once he had cleared his name they could live there as a family. Harry quickly wrote a short letter only asking if a Nymphadora Tonks could come to No. 4 Privet Drive and ask for Harry James Potter as soon as possible.

Upon finishing Harry folded the letter up and looked up to Hedwig sitting as if she could tell that Harry needed her services, tying the letter to Hedwig's outstretched leg.

"Alright, this is to going either to Sirius Black or to Nymphadora directly okay."

Hedwig hooted once turned and took off out the window, Harry could only watch and hope that his beautiful snowy white Owl would be save in seeking out his godfather or this mysterious Nymphadora person.

Turning back to the small boy hoping to ask some more questions, only to find Teddy fast asleep in his bed. Harry smiled to himself as he ran his fingers through the mass of raven-black hair, and Teddy sighing contently at the touch. Harry stared at the window wondering what fate had in store for him this year.


Across the country, a snowy white flew through the open window of the sitting room where Sirius Black was resting. Hedwig dropped the letter into his lap before landing across from him on the arm of a nearby chair.

"Well hello to you too, Hedwig. And Why is Harry writing me so soon?"

Hedwig answered with a screech and a hoot, as Sirius opened the letter. He had to read it a second time before charging into the Dining Room for the fireplace. Throwing some grey powder into the fireplace, green fires came alive.

"Tonks residence!"


It was a shock Andromeda Tonks that answered the Floo call from Sirius.

"Sirius… What in Merlin's beard are to you doing Floo calling me?"

"No time to explain now dear cousin, is your daughter home by chance?"

"Nymphadora, what do you want with her?"

"Like I said no time to explain, but can you and your family come through. I know what Dumbledore said and I don't care, this is important and it's a family matter."

Andromeda stared at Sirius, questioning if she and her family should go or not knowing that Dumbledore would have words about keeping the ancestral Home of the Blacks a secret.

"Alright Sirius I'll have Ted and Dora come home and we'll be right over."

"Thanks, Andy, I'll see you guys soon."

Ending the call on her end, Andromeda quickly grabbed her wand and summoned her Patronus.

"Go find both Edward and Nymphadora Tonks and given them this message: Ted, Dora you are both needed at home as soon as possible, it is a family matter."

Andromeda watched as her Patronus took off, while she waited for her husband and daughter to return Andromeda thought it was time to bring out her old black family dress robes.

Hours later both Ted and Nymphadora had returned home to see Andromeda dressed formally as a lady of the House of Black, to her husband Andromeda looked powerful and like someone who was to be messed with. To her daughter, Andromeda reminded her of her aunt Bellatrix, Powerful and Terrifying.

"Wow mum, what's the Occasion?"

"Sirius has called for us to join him at the Manor."

"But what about Professor Dumbledore?"

"We are members of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Black Nymphadora Tonks. We answer only to the Head of our House, not to Albus Dumbledore."

"Did Sirius give a reason as to why he wants us there, my dear?"

"He wouldn't say over the Floo, meaning that it is of the utmost importance and of a sensitive nature."

And with that Andromeda activated the Floo calling out the address, they each stepped through.
