"I'm home!" Harry shouted into the living room. It was six in the afternoon on Thursday, the earliest he had been home all week. Moving into the kitchen, he didn't hear any noises from upstairs. He checked them empty living room, then moved towards his bedroom to see if anyone was home.

He found Ginny and Teddy curled up in their bed sleeping next to each other. The bed seemed huge compared to the little body of Teddy. Quietly, Harry began changing out of his work clothes into sweatpants and a t-shirt. He heard Teddy rustle a little bit in his sleep, and froze in his place until he knew the boy was still again. He finished changing, and looked back over at the couple. Ginny had fairly defined bags under her eyes, and Harry suspected Andromeda hadn't been around today. Her hair framed her face nicely, but it also looked as though she hadn't washed it recently. She was still in her pajamas. Teddy's thin body barely allowed the mattress to divot, and his teal hair matched well with the grey pillow case he was sleeping on. Harry watched as his hair turned pink for a few moments, then brown then pink again.

He thought of Remus and Tonks. Their concern for their son and their longing to see him. Teddy had to be dreaming of them right now. He was probably wishing that they could be the ones he could cuddle in bed, and that they were the ones who would carry him on days when he was too tired to walk. His diagnosis had come as a bit of a surprise a few months ago, and since then it had taken quite a toll on the boy's body.

After several bad colds, one of which caused the boy to be hospitalized, Teddy had been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. This caused mucus to build up in his lungs and made him prone to respiratory infections. He was finally getting over his most recent cold which he had succumbed to for several weeks. There had been several days when he had been too weak to walk. The doctors said that this dizziness would pass with treatment, as his body grew more used to the way his lungs worked. In muggles the disease was fatal, most died before they turned 40. The healers at St. Mungo's could not get rid of the mucus, but they gave him treatment that muggles could not use, doubling his expected lifespan.

The details of his treatment were constantly looked over by Harry, Ginny, and Andromeda. In several days his parents would learn how to help their son. Remus and Tonks would take care of Teddy on his bad days and good. One more night before they could know. He thought to himself. Only one more night and in the morning the whole world will be glad. Teddy, and Ginny, and Andromeda, and George, and Molly. All of them would be over the moon.

With these thoughts running through his head, and a smile on his face, he moved to the basement to make dinner. Ginny hated cooking, so he expected that Teddy hadn't had a decent meal in a couple of days. He grabbed the eggs out of the fridge and moved to make breakfast for dinner. This event always confused Teddy in a fun way, and would put a smile on everyone's faces.

After making a bit of a mess, and enough food for the three of them, Harry went upstairs to wake them up. His room was filled with the soft sound of Teddy's snores. The pictures on the wall were all smiling at him, filled with photos of Harry, Ginny, and both of their families. The large bed sat in the middle of the room, surrounded by a bit of a mess. They hadn't been able to clean the house for a while, and Ginny was busy with Teddy most of the day.

Harry waved his wand and several piles of dirty clothes made their way to the hamper. With another flick the hampers worked their way down to the laundry where they began washing themselves. Ginny was better at household chores, but she had been exhausted. A few more spells and most of the room had tidied itself up fairly well. Both of their dressers had been cleared of paperwork that was filing itself in the appropriate nightstand drawers, and all of the picture frames were dusted. Harry walked around the house for the next couple minutes, performing whatever charms he felt necessary given the slight mess that was all over the house. The dishes were doing themselves, the living room was being silently vacuumed of all popcorn crumbs from a messy movie night, and all of the books were putting themselves away from the various rooms that they were in.

Just as Harry finished the downstairs bathroom, he heard Ginny from the top of the stairs.

"Mom I told you not to clean up after me," She said with a groan.

Harry appeared at the bottom of the stairs with a smile on his face. "Dinner's ready, it's got a warming charm on it."

Ginny hurried down the stairs, "Why are you back so early?" she gave him a kiss and settled her head into his chest, her round belly forcing her to lean forward to reach him.

"Tomorrow's a big morning, so they let us home early," Harry held her tighter, "Tomorrow you get to know why I've been so busy."

"Really?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, but for now let's go eat dinner." He said, motioning her to the kitchen and going up the stairs to wake Teddy.

Harry sat down on the edge of the bed, allowing it to sink under his weight before tapping Teddy on the shoulder. He shifted in his sleep before opening his eyes slightly.

"Time to wake up?" he asked, stretching all the way out before began sitting up.

"Yup, I made dinner," Harry's said, smiling when Teddy jumped at his voice. He was suddenly engulfed in an energetic hug that he returned quickly, pulling Teddy into his lap.

"I missed you Harry!" Teddy whispered once he was secure in his godfathers arms.

"I know kid," Harry squeezed him, then stood up, still holding Teddy in his arms. "Ginny's downstairs ready to eat, what do you say?"

Teddy nodded his blue hair against Harry's chest. Harry had seen Remus and Tonks two days ago, and tomorrow morning Teddy would be able to hear that they were alive. After tomorrow his hair would be pink for weeks as he thought gleefully of his mother. The anticipation was agonizing.

"You know what we're having for dinner?" Harry said, walking the two of them down the stairs.

"What?"

"Breakfast foods!" Harry said tickling the 5 year old in the belly.

"BUT IT'S DINNER!" Teddy roared with giggles loud enough for Ginny to hear them from the kitchen. The giggles lead to a small coughing fit as Harry set Teddy down to eat.

"Eggs belong to breakfast," Teddy giggled again as he began eating.

Harry gave Ginny a loving smile as their hands met across the table. Everything felt normal as they made jokes about breakfast for several minutes. Andromeda came back that night for popcorn and a movie. She suggested taking Teddy for the night, but Harry insisted the boy sleep at his house. Harry was also able to convince Andromeda to come over a little before 8:00 am the next morning.

Harry timed his alarm clock carefully Friday morning. He sat awake for most of the night, nervous for the next day's excitement, but woke up with his alarm at 7:40.

"Ginny, you need to get up too." He nudged her shoulders. "It's really important."

"It better be the end of the world if you're getting me up at…" She groggily looked at her alarm clock "7:40! The news doesn't get here for twenty minutes!"

"You're gonna want to be awake when it does." Harry assured her, "I'm going to go get Teddy up."

"You're going to what?!" She said sitting up quickly, "He's still getting a cold, he was out flying yesterday, and he stayed up a half hour past his bedtime. You're not waking him up."

"You cannot understand how important this day will be in the history of the magical world." Harry knew he was being annoyingly cryptic but he went over to Teddy's room anyways. He woke Teddy and quickly helped him with his morning treatment.

Andromeda was due to come over a few minutes. Harry quickly set up cereal around the table but knew that soon no one would have any appetite. He cast quick cleaning spells at the living room which would soon be crowded with Weasleys and Longbottom's and Delacour's.

"What the hell is going on Harry?" Ginny asked maneuvering her pregnant belly down the stairs with Teddy's blue hair slowly walking next to her.

"I am bound by law not to tell you until the owl arrives with the Prophet." Harry sighed. "If I could tell you I would've done it days ago."

"Not even a few minutes early?" Ginny asked

"No, we were threatened with a lot of fines and there's a good chance I would be fired."

"I could do with you losing your job," Ginny joked.

"I know you could, but I don't want to lose it like that." Harry moved around the kitchen, the dishes from last night began washing themselves and the cereal boxes straightening on the counter as Harry's attention to detail grew. There wasn't anything else to do, but he felt like he needed to keep moving.

"What are you getting ready for?" Ginny noticed Harry's peculiar cleaning.

Harry set Teddy's cereal bowl in front of him as he made his way onto a chair at the table.

"Something big," Harry winked at Teddy who giggled a little bit.

"I hope the paper comes early." Ginny sat down with her own bowl.

"They won't." Harry sat down, too nervous to eat. "Even the press is under an intense amount of security. The owl will get here at 8:00 am sharp. And then all hell will break loose."

"I don't like how big you're smiling," Ginny smiled back at him. "You look like you're about to save the world, which worries me because last time that happened you stormed Hogwarts, and started a battle."

The words 'and my brother died' hung in the air, but Harry didn't care. He smiled brighter.

"The world is about to change for the better," Harry dropped his voice, leaning in so that Teddy couldn't hear, "and this time there won't be casualties." He kissed his wife on the cheek.

The floo erupted and Andromeda made her way into the kitchen.

"What are you doing over so early?" Ginny was not looking at Andromeda, but at Harry.

"I was invited for breakfast," Andromeda took a seat next to Teddy and ruffled his blue hair. "Did you sleep well?" She asked, causing the five year old to delve into a several minute long discussion of a dream as though he had been waiting for someone to ask.

The adults listened patiently until Ginny stood up suddenly at the sight of an incoming owl. Harry's face lit up as she paid the owl and opened the paper. All eyes were on her.

"WIZARDS OF THE PAST, ALIVE!" Ginny's voice was shaking now, "Those who died fighting against You-Know-Who are alive again in a magical mystery of epic proportions."

She stopped reading and stared at Harry. "Does this mean?" the end of the question was stuck in her throat.

"I don't get it?" Teddy interrupted.

"In a miracle of magic that no one can explain, The dead are alive again," Harry scooped his godson onto his lap as a shocked Ginny sat down, now reading the paper again.

"My Parents?" He snapped his head to look at Harry. "Are they still dead?" The hope in Teddy's eyes was everything that Harry had been waiting for.

"They are not, I've talked to them in the last couple of days." Teddy began whooping and cheering so loudly that he started coughing, and then he continued to whoop though the fit.

"Harry this can't be real…" Ginny whispered.

"It has to be Ginny. I shook Fred's hand three days ago," Harry would have continued if not for three successive people flooing into his living room.

"Harry Potter!" Hermione yelled from the living room.

"In the kitchen," He handed Teddy over to Andromeda and stood up to see Hermione, still in her pajamas, flustered in the doorway. Ron and George were behind her.

"Is this a joke?" George asked hurriedly.

"It's not, I've spoken to him within the last couple of days." No one asked who Harry was referring to.

"Who else have you talked to?" Ron asked. George sat down in front of a half-eaten cereal bowl.

"Yesterday, and Tuesday I was chosen to speak to the crowd of those who've come back. On Tuesday we didn't think about those who would come find me after, so when I was done…" Harry took a deep breath as Ginny wrapped her arms around him, "I met my parents, and Sirius, Remus, Tonks, and Fred. Teddy you're parents asked about you the first second they saw you, and George your brother says hi, and that he's sorry." George nodded solemnly.

"Have you seen Ed?" Andromeda asked, cuddling Teddy tightly.

"Oh yeah! I talked to him on day one, but he doesn't know that it was me."

The floo erupted to Molly and Arthur Weasley causing the level of energy to increase as Harry repeated himself, and answered more subsequent questions.

"You'll get to see them by Friday, and if we start filling out paperwork that the newspaper supplied we can speed up that process." This answer caused a flurry of movement in which Hermione took the Potter's daily prophet and began duplicating copies of the paperwork for others to fill out.

The flurry ended quickly as quills began working fast. Teddy looked over at Harry, the only two who were not writing.

"What did they ask?" He whispered. Harry picked his godson up from his grandma and moved towards the living room as Percy and Audrey flooed over smiling.

They sat down on the big comfy chair in the middle of the room. Teddys hair was a bright bubblegum pink, and looking close you could see flakes of a sandy brown mixed inside.

"They asked about you," Harry smiled as Teddy pretended he hadn't started smiling.

"I can tell them everything Harry!" he whispered. "I can tell them about how the bunnies eat the carrots from gramdromedas garden. Grandma always said that Mommy loved the bunnies! Maybe Dad will like them to! I can see if they both like bunnies Harry!," he gasped "Maybe they'll get me a bunny!"

Teddy kept rambling for the next several minutes as the Weasley family finished their paperwork and made their way into the Potters' living room. Neville and his family joined soon and the room was livid with introductions and cries of joy. Alice and Frank were overjoyed to meet Harry, and talked to him for a few minutes about his parents and how proud they were going to be. No more talk of how proud they would be. Now everyone talked about what was going to be. The change brought tears to Harry's eyes.

The family began discussing possibilities and memories, no one leaving as no one wanted to be alone. After about an hour the first of the owls came back with news of the resurrecteds' relocation. Harry and Percy had explained several times that relocation requests would work fastest with parents and children, and spouses. Hence, Arthur filled out Fred's request rather than George. If there was no parent or child to be sent to, then people could fill out requests for a resurrected that they would like to live with them, and if the resurrected also requested to live with them then they would be sent to their house. This is how they requested Sirius

The owl that had arrived first nearly flew away due to the flurry of people who had met it at the window. The letter was addressed to Andromeda Tonks, who promptly paid the owl and opened the letter.

The room grew eerily silent, excepting Teddys polite shuffling through to have a look at the letter his gran would have to read to him.

"Ed's coming home tomorrow!" she cried "He'll be here by lunch tomorrow!"

Harry and Ron helped her over to a chair as she was reduced to tears. Molly met her there and held the older woman as she cried of joy. Once he'd made his way over, Teddy squealed with joy next to his grandma. His grandpa was not as exciting as his parents, but nevertheless he was overjoyed about it.
