A lot of notes: I finally have the exact time down, I have said in the earlier chapter that this story takes place a year later, however, to be exact it takes place 6 months after the battle of Hogwarts, as for a while I was unsure of how of how much time should have passed before chapter 1 this makes young Teddy six or seven months old.

Sorry about taking so long to get this out but school, since it now Christmas break expects more uploads while I can.

Thank you guys so much for the support! It overwhelmed me. Without further ado, here is the next chapter.

Location: 12 Grimmauld Place

(Harry's Pov)

"Kreacher," I call out while putting my tie on and with a pop, he appears "how do I look for meet Daphne's grandmother and seeing the rest of her family again. I'm going for a semi-formal look."

"Master you have a guest waiting for you in the drawing room." Kreacher responded popping in looking at Harry dress, with a thinking expression on his face.

"What, who is it, and why didn't you tell me someone was here." I panicked

"It is Lady Tonks, master and she said not to tell you she was just going to wait here so you could finish getting dress." Kreacher told Harry

"Andromeda why is she here?" I asked surprised

"You were supposed to spend time with young master Edward today, Master." Kreacher smirk at me knowing I forgot.

"Teddy how could I forget I'll be right down. Kreacher why didn't you remind me of today." I demanded

"I recall try to warn you about your conflict of schedules, Master when you told me your plans to have lunch with the Greengrass, however, I do recall you interrupting me, say you would handle it."

I glared at Kreacher and mutter "Smartass" before speaking up and telling Kreacher if there was ever a conflict in my schedule again to bother me until I fixed it and then I told Kreacher to tell Andromeda I'll be right down.

He popped away with a with a huge grin on his face and a "Yes, Master and your tie is crooked."

I finish dressing, not bothering to change styles as I was already almost done, muttering about needing a new elf and as I try to think of what I would say to Daphne and how she and her family would take this. I didn't want to disappoint her but there was nothing I could do as, I glance in the mirror one more time before beginning to walk down the stairs I gave up and just told myself I would spit out the truth, seeing as I would definitely not be canceling on Teddy.

Once I had made it to the bottom of the steps I turn right into the sitting room to see Andromeda sitting in one of my favorite chairs, sipping from a teacup, with a tea set in front of her on the table. Teddy was to her left playing in a pin I bought him, with a mixture of toys both muggle and wizarding. He was currently trying to stuff a square cube in his mouth, he eventually gave up and settle for his hand.

I was broken out of my thoughts by Andromeda who had recently become like a Aunt to me speaking "Hello, Harry you're looking quite fetching today, though your tie is a bit off and you could navy robes don't really suit you, what's the reason for playing dress up I know you don't like to do it?"

"Hello Andromeda and you're right, I do hate to do it, however, I am meeting up with the rest of my intended family and need to look as nice as possible or I was there was a slight conflict of schedules and I will have to cancel," I responded back I sitting down on the couch right next to her, Teddy had yet to notice me, going back to play with some of his other toys.

"What happen?" She questioned

"Teddy and you" I swiftly responded

"No, you don't have to do that you'll be spending the rest of your life with this lady and her family, it important to have a strong relationship, it is Friday I can happily bring Teddy tomorrow and you can have him Saturday and Sunday." She tried to reason with me.

"It's alright Andromeda I'm looking forward to this and I am Teddy's Godfather I need to spend time with him as well, it will be fine doesn't worry about these simple things. In other news how are you doing, are you feeling better?" I asked with real concern while trying to change the subject.

"I am feeling stronger with all the potion and other medicine the doctor is giving me, however, my doctor still believes the estimated date will remain the same." She spoke softly

"Don't give back down from this fight and don't give up hope, Andromeda, Teddy may want his Godfather, but he'll need his Grandmother," I said firmly look at her right in the eyes.

You don't have to worry about that Harry I won't give up or backing down, however, I think you'll pay a much more important role in Teddy life than even you know or I know. Just take care of my Teddy, for me, please. She spoke with a firm softness, almost like she was begging me.

"I am so sorry Andromeda I just hope I can make you, Remus and Tonks proud," I said trying not to break down, this woman practically gave me what remains of her line her own grandson, for his own safety, she was starting to remind me of the sacrifices my mom made.

I'm sure Remus and Tonks are looking down on you right now smiling so proud of you along with Sirius Black and your parents and all the others that you have lost my child I know for a fact then short amount of time that we have had and will have I have considered you the boy I never had." She said with some tear that made my eyes water.

"If you will excuse me I have a quick letter to write" I stand up and so does Andromeda which confuses me until she put me in a bone-crushing hug that put Molly's to shame I hug her back for what was at least 30 seconds and then walk to the dining room and sat down at the long table of Grimmauld place, I was glad that I was going to move out soon. Thought this place was huge it held many bad memories and was just too big for me. I called out to Kreacher to bring me parchment and an ink quill. I began to think of what to say to Daphne. Once I had a general idea I began to write.

Dear Daphne, my betrothed.

I am sorry, that I won't be able to make it to your family gathering today but something else has come up, in my hurry to finish up this trilogy of meetings with you and your parents, I said I would come by today at lunch, however, I completely forgot I had a previous engagement. You see I have had a gathering of the sort ever since I have left Hogwarts with the grandmother of my godson and my godson himself, I forgot today was one of those days. I truly am sorry, and I will find some way to make this up with you. I hope we can reschedule for another time.

Your betrothed Harry Potter

I walk back into the sitting room where Andromeda was playing with Teddy she had turned with Teddy back to me him one arm holding his head the other on his lower back hold her neck her arms to face me. I showed her my letter and silently ask her to read it. She had me, Teddy, first and once I was settled I handed her the letter.

"Hi little man," I coo to Teddy once I sat down and got comfy speaking baby talk "how are you doing, are you being good to your grandma?" He gurgled He gurgle back to me almost speak back to me, but could only get a somewhat recognize good out.

Eventually, Andromeda interrupts or session "I definitely your style Harry.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked somewhat insulted, somewhat curious

"It nothing to be ashamed of most, Gryffindor write similar to your style, short, blunt and straight to the point a Slytherin or Ravenclaw, would of at the minimum had at least twice the amount of writing you had and it would be a very windy road, even a Hufflepuff would have had more parchment. The only difference is you somehow manage to make this mishap schedule look better on you which would be a very Slytherin thing to do if you did it on purpose.

"Will it work?" I asked annoyed

"It will." She responded with a smirk

'Azula' I thought and in a literal flash of fire, my new Familiar was hovering in front of me. She was a beauty and yes it was a she I am learning a lot about her, she just so happens to be a Royal Blue Phoenix one of the if not the most powerful Phoenix to have ever existed, I never do thing halfway do I. I had named her Azula after a character in a show I watch as a child one of my few good memories at the Dursleys. (Yes, I am talking about Azula from the Avatar: The Last Airbender, I know the Avatar wasn't on until the 90's you don't have to say anything in the comments.) She had Azula personality, and she wasn't insane like Azula was but she had a little crazy in her.

"Ow don't peck me bird, ow!" I said as Azula pecked me on my head.

'Master, I may not know much about humans, but I pretty sure that human don't make faces like that' Azula stated draw my attention back to Andromeda

I look at her and tried not to burst out. Andromeda had the most dumbfounded look on her face, with a mixture of shock, respect, admiration. Her face did curve in a very unique way.

"Only you Harry" she mutters "only you."

The elves were moving around in the dining room, everyone else was preparing for Harry's arrival. Daphne was in her room getting ready for brunch when all of a sudden a and powerful light filled up her large room and probably the entire manor, as the light died down Daphne could make out a beautify bird, and as the light slowly rescinded she saw a blue flaming bird. The bird flew around her room until it landed on her mahogany desk, Daphne stilling staring in awe at the bird which she numbly recognized as a Phoenix she saw a letter tied to its foot and reached out and grabs the letter from the bird of myth and reads it.
