A/N: This is the Chapter where the characters learn how Teddy came to be with them. Yes, I am aware that JKR didn't include anything about ritual magic but she didn't say it didn't exist either. So to me and more than likely a few others out there, this gives us writers a grey area to create new and wonderful ways to play around with the lives of these beloved characters which makes for new and interesting stories to read.

Chapter Three – Family Reunion

Sirius watched as his cousin Andromeda stepped through the flames of the fireplace with the grace of a noble Lady of House Black, soon followed by her husband Edward. Following behind and falling on her arse was his young cousin and woman in question, Nymphadora.

"Andy! Welcome once more to this accursed place, sorry about the state of it."

"Worry not Sirius, we both know that in time this house will see greater memories."

"And that's why I asked you all here. Come let's sit in the sitting room and talk about the most interesting letter from my godson."

Nymphadora snapped her eyes to her cousin at the mention of Harry Potter, both Andromeda and Sirius noticed the red shade in the young metamorph's cheeks. Sirius led his family members to where he first learned of the issue he had brought them here for, all three Tonks members noticed the white Owl still sitting there awaiting Sirius' return letter. Sirius once again sat in his chair from before, Andromeda and Ted chose to sit upon the three-seater lounge while Nymphadora had to sit in the chair with Hedwig.

"Now Sirius what is so important that you would risk going up against Albus Dumbledore to bring us here."

"Okay, moments ago Hedwig here delivered me the most interesting of letters from Harry, as you all know he is my godson and once I can reach out to the Goblins at Gringotts. Harry will also be Heir to the House of Black."

"You would name him Lord of two Most Ancient and Most Noble Houses! You do know what that means for the poor boy?"

Sirius waved Ted's question to the side.

"Of course I do, Ted. But that's not why I call you all here, here Andy you should read this first."

Sirius hand Andromeda the letter from Harry, and after a second read through Andromeda snapped her brown eyes to her daughter who attempted to sink into the chair.

"Is this true Sirius, and can you be sure?"

"Harry has no reason to lie to us, Andy."

Andy passed the letter to Ted, who read it and had the same reaction. Nymphadora felt like a child who got caught with her hand in the cookie jar, her father handed her the letter. At first, the Auror in training didn't want to take it, thinking that if she didn't see it then whatever it said wasn't real.

"Nymphadora take the letter, now."

At the sound of her name, Tonks took the letter and read it.

Padfoot,

The strangest thing has just happened to me tonight, a small boy with messy black hair and green eyes like mine just appeared in my room. After Uncle Vernon left I asked the boy for some details, his name is Edward 'Teddy' Remus Potter-Black and says that he is the son of myself and a girl named Nymphadora Tonks. If you know of this girl please inform her that we have a son together. If you do find this Nymphadora let me know as soon as possible.

Your godson.

Tonks had to reread it as second and a third time before it sunk in, she was a mother to a child she had with Harry James Potter of all people. This was one of two things, First was a massive and cruel prank by Sirius; likely but too cruel even for him. The second and less likely it was all true, Harry was six years younger than her. The age gap wasn't too bad she guessed, as she heard of worse gaps throughout the wizarding world. Nymphadora was drawn back to the real world by her mother's voice.

"What can we do, Sirius?"

"Well first we need to get Harry and this Teddy here and under House Black protection, but I know that Arthur Weasley will be inviting young Harry to the Quidditch World Cup in a couple of days' time."

"We could ask Arthur and his family to bring Harry hereafter?"

"We could Ted, but that will alert Dumbledore."

"What choice do we have Sirius, this not only affects Harry but also Dora and this innocent little boy." Andromeda paused as an idea formed in her mind, "Why not tell Dumbledore what we know that way he will have no choice but to bring Harry here."

Sirius opened his mouth to answer and quickly closed it again, "Andy that is brilliant, I see you still think as mother instructed us when we are children."

"Toujours Pur."

"Always Pure indeed, dear cousin."

Harry and Teddy were indeed collected from the Dursley's by Arthur, the Twins and Ron who were surprised, to say the least by Teddy's presence. But Arthur took it in his stride, Molly was a little concerned by Teddy's appearance. Hermione and Ginny felt the same at first but quickly warmed up to who they called 'Little Harry', soon they discovered Teddy's Metamorph powers as his hair changed colours from Harry's black to the Weasley trademark red to Hermione's Chocolate brown then back to Harry's messy Black.

While the children were keeping Teddy busy Molly moved to the fireplace and Floo called Dumbledore.

Headmaster's Office, Hogwarts

"Albus… Albus!"

"Yes Molly, what can I do for you today?"

"We have Harry here at The Barrow for the Quidditch World Cup, but he isn't alone. He brought with him a small boy that looks just like him and claims to be his son."

"This I am aware of, Young Sirius as already informed me of the situation."

"But Albus what if this is something bad…"

"Molly all I can say is that you and Arthur must bring Harry and the child to 12 Grimmauld Place later today, where everything will be sorted."

"We do trust you Albus, but if I don't like what I hear I'll take the children including Harry and bring them back here to The Barrow."

Dumbledore hated when Molly became stubborn and set into her way of thinking, but the Weasleys were a good family for young Harry to be with. Dumbledore had it all planned out, had the Weasleys in place to show Harry how to get onto the Platform at the start of his first year. Molly even got her youngest two involved, she even had the nerve to request that Dumbledore set up a marriage contract between Harry and her only daughter, Ginny.

But with Teddy Potter-Black in the picture now, his plans will need to change. He will need to carefully move around Andromeda Tonks as it was her daughter young Nymphadora that was involved.

"Molly let's not get ahead of ourselves, I'll see you and the children at the Headquarters."

Dumbledore ended the call and called McGonagall and Snape to his office. Moments later two heads of house were standing before him, Dumbledore had just informed them both of the current events surrounding young Harry. Minerva was of course taking back by the news, but understandably happy to help. Severus was his normal anti-Potter self, saying that boy was simply seeking attention just like his father.

"Severus, how can you say that. We don't know all the facts surrounding this, need I remind you that I never liked the way you treat Mr Potter."

"Minerva now is not the time. Now we go and meet this young child and discover the truth of the matter."

"Yes, of course. Headmaster."

"Indeed."

Dumbledore activated the Headmaster's Fireplace and one by one they travelled to 12 Grimmauld place.

Harry, Teddy, Hermione and the Weasleys all arrived at the ancestral home of the Blacks, they stood there and watched as number 12 revealed itself before them. Teddy was all giggles while being held by Harry, flanking Harry and Teddy were Ron and Hermione watching in awe with their best friend.

"Well inside kids, come on," Arthur said waving them across the road to the steps.

"Welcome home daddy!"

"Thanks, Teddy."

Arthur held the door open as each of the children entered the grim-looking house, and welcomed by a grinning Sirius Black. Once Harry and Teddy were through the threshold, both were wrapped in a group hug by Sirius.

"Hi Harry welcome to my home, and this must be little Teddy?"

"Yep, and you're Harry's dogfather Pad'oot."

Sirius gave a belly laugh that unfortunately woke up the painting of his dead mother, the cruel and pure-blood elitist Walburga Black. Sirius quick sent a silencing Charm to the painting before showing his guests to the kitchen as it was the biggest room for in house save the sub-basement.

The second Teddy entered the kitchen, his green eyes locked onto the youth face of his mother, Nymphadora.

"MUMMY!"

Harry let Teddy go, and the boy charged towards her. Teddy jumped and got caught by his mother, soon his tiny arms were around her neck, hugging the life out of her.

"Yaaaayyy, I have my mummy and daddy."

A/N: I know that I promised to explain the ritual behind Teddy's name but this chapter is already too long as it is, so the next chapter where it is all revealed.
