Chapter One

Teddy slowly approached his godfather. He knew Harry would do his best to help him. He just wasn't sure quite how to explain this feeling that was growing deep inside him. He could literally feel it pulling or pushing him in the direction of this distant land. He decided to just do the best he could in explaining.

"Harry, could I speak with you?" Teddy asked politely.

"Of course, Teddy. What's on your mind?" Harry inquired.

"It's hard to explain, but I really need your help. It has to do with Dad."

"Well, I'll do anything I can to help, Ted, just tell me what's happened."

Teddy took a deep breath and began telling his godfather about his research and findings. He told him all about the Muggle books and how he had this feeling that he truly needed to go to America. Specifically to Forks, Washington.

"I want to see if it's true. If it is, maybe I will be able to understand myself fully. I have always felt that I have been missing something and I think this may be it. I almost feel, deep in my bones, that this is my destiny. That this pack that I read about is real and I belong to it. What I need is for you to take me there. Will you do it? Please?"

Harry sat there stunned and considered the request for a while before speaking. "Teddy, I..." he paused for a moment. "I think I understand what you are going through. I will talk to Ginny and see if we can't find a way to help you. The school year is over now and with the summer holiday maybe we can go this place. This Washington. However, your seventh year at Hogwarts is an important one and I would like to see you finish your schooling and take your N.E.W.T.s."

Teddy exhaled a sigh of relief. "I understand. I also want to finish school, but if I find this information to be true, it might be difficult. I need to understand this thing I feel inside me, but it may take longer than one summer."

"Let me go talk Ginny. I'll be back in a few minutes," Harry said.

While he waited, Teddy sat on the comfortable sofa and looked around the house that he had called home for the past year. He had only come to live with the Potter's last summer after his grandmother had died. He had been sad to leave their little cottage for Harry's sprawling manor in Godric's Hollow, but it was nice to be closer to his best friends. Albus, James, and Hugo were the best mates a guy could ask for. They had been close friends for as long as he could remember. He smiled thinking back to all the times they had gotten into trouble at Hogwarts. Especially with the map Harry had given him, explaining that it had once belonged to his father. Harry's footsteps coming into the room jolted him from his reverie.

"I talked with Ginny," Harry said, "and we have come up with a plan."

"Really? I didn't think she would go for it," Teddy exclaimed.

Harry grinned. "Ginny is always up for an adventure. The kids are vacationing with the Weasley's this summer. They are all going to San Francisco for the holiday. Ginny and I will take you to Washington and in July, they will meet us in Washington. You better pack, we leave tomorrow morning."

Teddy was speechless. He knew it would happen, but he never thought it would be so soon. He stood and hugged Harry. "Thank you. This means everything to me."

"I loved your father, he was a second godfather to me. I know he would want this for you. If this is what you need, then I will do everything in my power to make it happen," Harry said.

"Well, I'll go pack. Oh, Forks is the rainiest place in the United States, so pack an umbrella or something," Teddy said with a grin.

"An umbrella? I'm a wizard, I have no use for an umbrella," Harry replied cheekily.
