Disclaimer - I should probably reassure everyone that I am in fact not JK Rowling and therefore do not own Harry Potter. In case you were wondering. Your all shocked I know.

A/N – Here is the next chapter, thanks so much to my beta!

The next morning was not a lie in for anyone. Ginny and Hermione were up early to go back to Hogwarts and Mr and Mrs Weasley woke to see them off. Harry and Ron were too used to being woken up early to sleep late, but they pretended it was because they wanted to see their girlfriends off. Teddy woke Tonks and Remus because he decided he was hungry and they weren't permitted to be asleep when he wasn't. George had to take stock before he opened the shop and Katie was excited about wedding shopping.

The rest of the morning was spent getting ready for the day's events. Remus got ready for work, kissed his son and wife, sent his luck to Harry and Katie and left. Tonks got ready, got Teddy ready and packed a bag as well as writing detailed instructions about what to do with Teddy. Katie got ready, talked to George about what dress she wanted and helped him open up the shop. She had decided on a white dress for her, a light pink for Tonks and she couldn't choose between light blue and turquoise for the bridesmaids. She asked George and he just raised an eyebrow and kissed her, muttering that he knew nothing about fashion sense, or at least that's what Ginny had told him.

"Aw, honey, your fashion sense is fine! A little rough maybe, but the essentials are good enough!"

"Have you seen me get dressed up? I once tried to wear purple jeans, a yellow sweater and bright orange robes. Thank Merlin that Ginny stopped me!"

He looked over at his fiancé, expecting comforting words, but she was doubled up in such intense laughter, he knew he would get no sense from her. He pictured the outfit and suddenly understood why all his siblings had wept with laughter. Including Fred. Especially Fred.

He felt a tear in the corner of his eye. He still missed him, but he tried not to grieve for too long. He went to the funeral, and he wore black and cried and didn't interact with anyone. Then he saw himself in the mirror…saw what he had become and started to laugh. He laughed because that's what Fred would have done. Laughed at how he had become one of those boring people that waste whole days by simply not laughing. Then he put on his brightest clothes, called Ron and went out for a beer. The next day he answered a voicemail Katie had left for him and they had gone out that night, and virtually every night since. He knew Fred would be proud of him, for being strong and not giving up.

So he brushed the tear away and hugged Katie, inhaling her scent, still amazed she had agreed to marry him. Then a customer walked in and he walked over to greet them, offering all sorts of special bargains in return for their custom.

Meanwhile, Tonks dropped Teddy off with Harry at Grimmauld Place. She stayed for a cup of tea, while Teddy giggled in a highchair.

"So Harry, you know what you're doing?"

"Not really, I don't have much experience with this sort of thing. To be honest I'm kind of scared."

Tonks laughed and Harry blushed. "You. The boy-who-lived. The man who walked to his death, who faced Voldemort alone, is scared of a baby."

"It's totally different!"Harry protested.

Tonks just shook her head and drank her tea. After a few cups of tea and a number of biscuits Tonks looked at her watch and realised she had to meet Katie in about 5 minutes. She grabbed her handbag, kissed Teddy, wished Harry luck, told him she'd be back in about 5 hours, and left. Harry looked at Teddy warily, as if the 7 month old might suddenly leap from his high chair and attack him. In return Teddy looked at the hero of the wizard world with an unimpressed look that said you-are-not-my-mommy-and-if-you-dont-do-something-interesting-i-am-going-to-scream-for-a-very-long-time. Harry narrowed his eyes and gave himself a silent pep talk.

"I defeated Voldemort…I survived the Killing Curse when I was just a year old…I killed a Basilisk…I kept the Philosophers Stone from Voldemort…I destroyed the Horcruxes…I can take care of an itsy-bitsy baby. He's so small I could squash him. He can't scare me. He's even kind of cute."

Harry cautiously reached out to pat Teddy's head only to jump back when Teddy started to grow thick black hair where before there had only been a small tuft of blond, at closer inspection his eyes had also turned green, and...He had a very familiar scar on his forehead. Harry chuckled as he realised the kid had morphed into a miniature replica of himself. Suddenly he didn't seem quite so scary.

While godfather and godson got acquainted, the bride and maid of honour bonded over shopping. In the past 6 months Tonks and Katie had become quite close, bonding over mutual subjects like shopping, the stupidity of their husband or soon-to-be-husband; want to be in on the action and general good nature. Tonks was slightly surprised that Katie wanted her to be the maid of honour though, they were close but surely Katie was closer to the girls she had been on Hogwarts with? Tonks thought about it for a while and decided that she would ask Katie about it, but not today. Today was for shopping and gossip.

"Tonks! You have to come see this dress! It's like made for you!"

Katie's voice carried across the dress shop from the far right corner where Katie was looking at all the different shades of pink they had, to the left where Tonks was looking at high heels. She left the current pair she was examining about 2 inch with little bows on the front and followed the excited squeals until she found Katie, surrounded by pink items holding an extremely pink item high in the air, as if it were a trophy. Tonks grimaced slightly but didn't comment. After all, she reminded herself, it was Katie's wedding.

"Katie, let me see the dress,"

Tonks stumbled back, as a pile of frills and pinkness hit her in face. She pressed down the lace to see Katie's face, smiling with a sparkle in her eye.

"Come on Tonks, you never wear anything very pink."

"Yeah, there's a reason why!"

"You'll look great! And it's my wedding..."

"No fair! You can't play the wedding card!"

"Yes I can. And I will. So there. Go try it on."

Tonks glared at Katie but obliged, heading towards the changing rooms, frills in hand.

Back at Grimmauld Place Harry was now wearing oatmeal as a hat, after trying to feed Teddy some lunch. The amused baby giggled and clapped his hands.

"Haww-iii!"

Despite being annoyed, Harry's heart melted at the sound of the small child saying his name.

"What did you say Teddy?"

"Haww-iiii!"

Harry picked Teddy up and hugged him, covering himself and the child in even more oatmeal.

"Alright kiddo, bath time!"

A/N – Longest ever chapter! That was my attempt at a cliff-hanger, without being too mean. Next chapter will have reaction to dress, and bath time! Maybe some Ginny and Hermione as well. Reviews will make the chapter come faster!
