Minerva sat there in her cloak reading the daily prophet. She smirked at the headline that read 'Harry Potter: Head of Auror Department.' She always knew that Harry would get there one day, she never thought that he would do it so young.

As she sat there in her thoughts, someone touched her shoulder from behind. "Minerva." A small voice asked.

Minerva jumped up and she turned around seeing a girl that she had gone to school with at Beauxbaton, she was with a man who had scars on his face and long shoulder length red hair. Minerva knew him as Bill Weasley, also with them was their small baby daughter, she had not seen them in ages. "Wow, Fleur it has been a long time. Look at her, she is beautiful."

Fleur nodded, and she smiled from ear to ear. "Yes, I 'ave a beautiful family now. I 'ave married Bill and we are very much still in love. Zen we 'ave zis beautiful daughter, she is a year old now." Fleur smiled; Bill handed her the small child.

"Fleur she is a spitting image of yourself." She smiled at Bill. "And it is very nice to see you as well." She smiled at him; she knew that he did not recognize her at all.

Bill smiled and he shook her hand. "It is nice to meet one of Fleur's friends. I must say though you look oddly like someone I have seen before. Have we met before?"

Her eyes widened, and she shook her head, she was surprised that he had a small recollection of her at all. "I am sorry, no I do not think that we have really met before." She lied; she could not let on that she knew of anyone until she had told Harry everything.

Bill nodded and agreed with her. "Yes, I guess not. I do that a lot, I have seen a lot of people, their faces all look the same after awhile." He replied as her headed over to the counter to pay the waitress.

Fleur smiled at Minerva. "Bill iz a very friendly man, also sometimes a vit strange." She laughed, as she sat with Minerva.

Nodding. "It is always nice to be friendly." She stood up; she was in no mood to be in conversation. "I really need to get going, we should meet up sometime, catch up, have coffee. Gabby can join us as well."

Fleur nodded. "Yes, zhat vould ve great."

Minerva nodded and headed out the door, she needed to keep up her act, but she did not know how much longer she could.

As Minerva walked away, Fleur looked at the paper deeply. She gasped because at that moment she had figured out who Minerva looked like; they had the same eyes.

Walking Diagon Ally, she was lost in her own thoughts. There was so much that she needed to tell Harry but was unsure if he would believe her. She knew that he was known to be a hot head and that the rumor was he was also a bit of an airhead. She walked into a small ally, she looked around to make sure that no one was around, and in a moment, she was gone.

Minerva appeared at small clearing there were two graves one was that of Edward Tonks, which was Nyphadora's father. The other was that of Remus Lupin and Nyphadora Lupin. They all rested there, walking over to Remus' she knelt. "Father, what am I to do? How do I tell him? I wish you were here to help me do this. It has been two years and I have been hiding away in Romania too afraid to tell him." She sighed as she felt someone kneel beside her, touching her hand.

"Sweet Minerva, I knew that I would see you here today." Andromeda smiled at her.

Minerva reached over hugging her. "I am so sorry that I have not been around more, it is just so hard to face life here without them in it. I lost everyone that night, everyone but you." Tears filled her eyes as she thought about the night of the war.

Nodding, she held her tight. "It has been hard, but we need you back. He is growing up so fast, and he does not even know who you are. Come home, it is time that you get back to your life here with us."

"Teddy." She sighed. "Dad would be furious with me for not helping you with him, he is my little brother, and I am a stranger to him"

"You do not have to be my dear, come home. He is young enough that he will not recall that you were away the first two years of his life." Andromeda looked at the headstones. "I miss them all so much every day."

"I am sorry that you have lost so much as well, and it was all because of the chaos that the Potter children brought into your life." She stood up.

"No, do not do that. They all knew what the stakes were, and they wanted to fight, they wanted to free our world from the evil that it had became. They all did this because they loved you and Harry, also so that the future of the wizarding world was brighter." Also standing up, she wrapped her arm around Minerva's waist. They now stood side by side looking down.

"How do I do it? How do I tell Harry? What if he does not want to believe me? What if he wants nothing to do with me?" Minerva asked with fear growing in her voice.

"One step at a time, day by day. First let's get you back home with Teddy. Then we can plan the rest of it all out once you settle in." Andromeda smiled.

"That sounds like a great plan." Minerva took her hand and they disaparated home.

The living room of the cottage had not changed at all; it was filled with pictures of the family and her heart sank. She had not looked at photos of them in two years.

"Drandma!" A small voice came from down the hall.

Minerva turned, and she seen him, Teddy was waddling down the hallway. He was a perfect mixture of his parents, and his hair was a bright blue. She could not hold her tears back anymore. "He has got so big." She looked over at Andromeda.

She nodded at her and picked the toddler up. "Teddy, say hi to your big sister. This is Minnie."

He looked at her and then at all the pictures. "Minnie."

Minerva nodded. "Yes, Minnie, buddy. I am so sorry that I left you, but that is all over I am home. I am home to stay."

Andromeda smiled at her. "You are both where you should be now."

The rest of the evening she spent with Teddy, playing with him. Andromeda was also filling her in on the stories that she loved sharing about the boy.

Minerva entered her childhood room; everything was the way that she left it over two years ago. It was kept up and cleaned but nothing was touched. "Wow, this is…" She sat on her bed taking a deep breath. "Dad, I wish you were here. I really need you; your advice would be so helpful." She laid back and soon dozed off into a deep sleep.

The next morning, she was greeted with Charlie smiling down at her, he was standing next to her bed. "You did it, you are home."

She sat up and smiled at him. "I am, and it feels amazing. Teddy is so super sweet, and I can not believe that I have stayed away this long."

He sat down with her, taking her hand. "That is all in the past. All that matters now is that you are here with them, and we are getting closer to living the life that we should be living."

"I think that I am going to tell Harry." Her face grew worried. "Grandmother says that he comes over all the time to see Teddy, so I think that will be the perfect time to inform him."

His face lit up. "Really? You are actually ready to tell him?"

"I really want to tell him. I have asked so much of you these last two years, and I think it is now time that we just put it all out there. Get this secret out of the way, and all be together."

He hugged her. "This is so great. When I am done with the camp at the end of the month things will be where we want them to be."

"Hopefully, I mean we still do not know how Harry will react. How your family will react?"

"Harry may be mad for a bit, but he will come around. As for my family they will adore you, I know it." He kissed her.

"I guess we will see in the next week or so." She got up and looked out the window. "This is going to be hard."

He came up behind her. "You got this. Your grandmother will be here to help you, and if you need me, I will be here as soon as you summon me." He smiled.

"Thank you, but I really think that this needs to be just Harry and I." She kissed his cheek.

Minerva spent the next few days reconnecting with her grandmother and little brother. Charlie went back to finish up the last three weeks of his contract.

"Minerva, can you come out here please." Andromeda hollered from the kitchen.

Minerva smiled at Teddy as she got up and walked into the kitchen. "What is it? Everything okay?"

Nodding at her, she looked out the front window. "He is here."

Minerva's face went white, she knew that it was time, but her nerves were getting the best of her.

"You got this, love. I know that this is the right time. That it is for the best." Andromeda kissed her cheek.

Minerva smiled and nodded at her, as Harry walked in the front door.
