"Dear Charlie,

Where do I even start? I guess I'm sorry would be as good a place as any, so I'm sorry Charlie. If you're reading this than that means I'm dead. So I'm sorry for that and for not telling you about Teddy. Sorrier than you could ever know. Remus and I, we loved each other yes but not in the same way as you and I. You're my soulmate. The love of my life. And when I found out I was pregnant with your child I was ecstatic but I knew that I couldn't tell you. For one thing, we had known that night that we may never see each other again. I thought about telling you the next time I saw you but I knew that we would most likely be in battle at that point and I couldn't tell you then, it just wouldn't be right. God he's perfect. Our son. I know that this is a shock but I hope that you'll do the right thing and be the father he needs. Don't forget to tell him all about me and that I love him more than life itself."

I took a shaky smile and smiled sadly. I made a vow to myself right then that Teddy would never question his mother's love for him. I kept reading.

"Let him know that I never wanted to leave him, but I had to fight for him. I had to fight so that he could grow up in a world without fear or war. Now that that's out of the way, I'll get to us. Charlie my love I am so sorry for everything. I was selfish. You did throw yourself into your work, I'm not going to lie. But maybe if I had talked to you we could have sorted something out. I just missed you, and you were never home and when you were you were exhausted. But like I said the night Teddy was conceived I forgive you for all of that. I wish we could have had more time together and I wish that I could see you with Teddy. But I don't need to see you with him to know that you're going to be a great father. Know that I will always be with you, always. I will always love you. I've never stopped. Your Nymphadora"

I was crying but I didn't even care. She loved me. She loves me. I closed the closet door and put the engagement ring safely in the drawer on her side of the bed. I left the window open that night as I slept peacefully, all of my tears finally gone.

Riiiing! I opened my eyes blearily. I groaned as I saw that it was 5:30. Somehow I managed to roll myself out of bed and get ready. It was an important day after all. I was signing the papers to legally own Magical Menagerie and later that night Teddy and Andromeda were moving in. I shoveled some Cheerie-Owls in my mouth and apparated to Diagon Alley. The bell tinkled as I walked through the door. "Hello Mr. Wagner." I greeted. He smiled at me. "Good morning Mr. Weasley. You're early this morning." "Well it is an important day. "Indeed."

He accio'd some official looking papers from the back. "If you'll just sign here and initial the top of the next page we can be on our way." I did as he asked, palms a little sweaty. I had to admit I was a little sad, I loved my dragons. Maybe I could convince the Ministry that the store needed one, not to sell, but to help promote the store. "Well we're all finished here Mr. Weasley. You are now the owner of Magical Menagerie. There is a waiting period of two weeks before you can operate the shop or change anything about it but after then, its yours." "Thank you very much sir." He smiled. "I know you'll be good for it. Goodbye Mr. Weasley." I smiled. "Goodbye Mr. Wagner."

Two weeks wouldn't be so bad; besides, I could use those two weeks to be with Teddy. I walked out into the bustling street of Diagon Alley. Maybe I would buy Teddy something, a housewarming gift. I made my way over to Quality Quidditch Supplies, but nothing in there felt right. Then I had an idea. I would go back to Romania real quick while my International Apparition License was still valid and get him a stuffed Dragon. With a pop I was back at the reserve. I bought a blue stuffed dragon from the gift shop attached and was sad when I didn't recognize who was working the till. SO much had already changed.

I apparated back to Diagon Alley, my destination Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Couldn't hurt to have some sweets at the house. As I walked in I realized I'd actually never been in the shop. It was amazing. "Charlie boy!" I grinned. "Georgie!" He huffed in fake annoyance. "What do I owe this visit?" "Well I just signed the papers to Magical Menagerie and thought I'd pop and see my favourite little bro." He raised an eyebrow. "Alright what do you want?" I smirked. "A guy can't visit his little brother without a reason?" He shot me a look.

"Alright, alright," I conceded. "I was wondering if you had any sweets that didn't seriously harm anyone or induce vomiting or some other type of illness. For Teddy. "I added at the look on his face. "Ahh. Say no more big bro. I've got just the stuff." He took me to the kids section. "Our children's candy section. Fun and safe at the same time. Take whatever you want, it's on the house." I spluttered a protestation but George silenced me with a glare. "You're family and I won't ear of it." I laughed despite myself. "Will you ever give the ear jokes a rest?" "Nope!" I shook my head.

"Well seeing as you won't let me pay, will you let me take you out for lunch? My treat." He considered a moment. "I think I can do that. Verity! I'm taking my lunch break, I'll be back in half an hour." A witch in magenta robes appeared next to us. "Take as long as you want Mr. Weasley, your brother and I have it covered." He nodded and we left the shop. "Which brother?" "Percy. I'm just as shocked as you are, but I won't refuse help." We had a really good time together, I had been missing out on my younger sibling's lives for a long time. Something else I was going to change.

He finally looked at his watch. "I lost track of time! Sorry big bro but I really shouldn't leave Verity alone for much longer." I nodded. "It was nice to see you little bro, we should do this again." He smiled. "We should. Later Charles." I shook my head.

I had just gotten home and finished putting away the sweets and wrapping Teddy's present when the doorbell rang. I opened it to find my son and Andromeda, with a seemingly small number of bags. Hours later as I finally finished helping them unpack I realized how wrong that observation had been. I turned to my son. "We can repaint your room next week if you want, it would have taken too long to dry if I'd done it last night." "Otay! Can it be blue? That's my favourite colour!" I ruffled his hair. "Course it can. On the topic of blue things, I have a present for you." I handed him the package. His little eyes grew. "For me? Tank you Daddy!" I smiled. "Well go on, open it!" He tore open the wrapper and beamed. "A dwagon! I'm going to name him Ralph." I snorted slightly but he didn't seem to notice. "Now cupcake won't be so lonely!"

"Who's cupcake?" "My stuffed pig puff." "He means pygmy puff. Dora got it for him when he was a baby and he refuses to sleep without it." "Uh huh." Teddy agreed. "And don't forget Bear Bear Nana! He's from Unca Harry cuz he's my godfather." He leaned against the arm of the couch, eyes drooping.

I chuckled. "I think it's time for bed." "Not…tired" he protested. I picked him up and carried him to his room. I tucked him under his snitch covers which must have also been from Harry. "Night Daddy." I smiled. "Goodnight Teddy Bear."
