I'm still me, not JKR. I did get to watch the documentary (that was on ITV2) on you-tube last night. Her hubby is a hottie! Nice to see she is very real. As we say in the Ozarks, she seems like nice folks. Oh yeah she still owns the HP universe, I'm just traveling around in it. I still don't make any money from this. All I earn is mental exercise and kudos's.
Teddy 2
April 1999
12 Grimwald Place, London was packed. Kreacher had not been so happy in years! He had lots of Master Harry's family and friends to look after. The best was that Master Harry was letting him bake Master Teddy's birthday cake. Master Teddy. It had been so long since there had been a baby in the house. Kreacher loved having Master Teddy around. Master Teddy was just as good and kind as Master Harry. Master Teddy even tried to make his face look like Kreacher!
Mistress Andromeda was coming back too! Master Harry had started having Master Teddy stay a couple of nights a week to give Mistress Andromeda a rest. But this was the first time Mistress Andromeda would be here since Kreacher's old Mistress had burned her name from the tapestry. Kreacher had a surprise for Master Harry and Mistress Andromeda. Last night, after Master Harry had gone to bed, Kreacher repaired the tapestry. He had even added Mistress Andromeda's husband, daughter and Master Teddy's father.
Kreacher hoped that Mistress Andromeda would be pleased and that she would help him add the Weasleys back. Kreacher knew now that his old Mistress had been wrong to think muggleborns were bad. Mistress Hermione was the kindest, smartest witch Kreacher had ever known.
"Kreacher?"
"Yes Master Harry?"
"Could you tell me where we are putting Bill and Fleur?"
"Master Harry they is in the first bedroom. Mistress Fleur should not be a walkin so high when the baby is due so soon!"
Bill turned to Kreacher with a smile. "You're the best Kreacher!" The old house elf turned a delicate shade of pink.
"You is too kind Master Bill!"
Soon all the bedrooms were full. Mistress Ginny and Mistress Hermione had even gotten permission to leave Hogwarts for the weekend. Mistress Molly and Mistress Ginny helped to put dinner on the table. Kreacher had turned such a bright shade of red from all the compliments on his cooking Harry had worried it would be too much for his heart.
Harry had declared Saturday "Teddy Lupin day!" Kreacher packed a picnic lunch so that Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione could take Teddy to the zoo. Pushing Teddy in his pram, (a bonnet tied firmly to cover his ever changing hair) they had seen all the animals. All had gone well until Teddy decided to try to morph his face into that of a elephant. Harry had froze. None of the books Hermione had given him about child rearing had any chapters about the child growing a trunk in muggle London. Hermione and Ron had to do a quick memory modification to a Mother who had screamed and fainted at the sight. While Harry and Ginny quickly got Teddy to Diagon Alley and George's shop. George soon had them seeing the funny side of the situation. It was good to hear George laugh. George promised not to bring any gift to the party that evening that would explode.
Teddy was so tired when they got him back, he slept the afternoon away. Harry and Ron flooed to the Ministry and filled out the paperwork for the memory charm. Kingsly got a good laugh when they stopped by to remind him of the party and told him of the incident. "Our top auror trainee bested by a one year old metamorphmagus!"
By 6 everyone was there. By half past 6 there was a large pile of brightly colored wrapping paper torn to shreds. Harry and Andromeda had gotten Teddy a play castle with tunnels, a slide and a Teddy sized swing. Ginny and Hermione had knitted him a blanket that Hermione had bewitched to change colors as Teddy changed his hair color. Mrs. Weasley had made him his very first Weasley jumper. Charlie had sent a toy Opaleye that flew and even laid Bernie Bot's every flavor beans as eggs. Bill and Fleur had given him a large shell, bewitched to emit soothing sounds of waves when he was sleeping. "'e ess not too young to understand beauty when he 'ears it I sinks." Arthur had bewitched a toy muggle car to fly. George had kept his promise and given him a toy wand that squeaked when waved. Ron gave him a Chudley Cannons poster. Percy's gift was a Gringot's savings bond. Hagrid had brought a puppy, that Andromeda quickly scanned to make sure was just that, a boxer puppy. Nevile had brought a indoor rain forest. It was fascinating to watch. It was contained in a dome and the weather cycled, just as in real life. Luna sent a miniature African drum she had picked up in her travels. Kingsley got there just before the cake and had a stuffed toy elephant, (causing Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny to groan).
By the time the cake was eaten and Teddy bathed and tucked in bed the adults were exhausted! Harry said goodbye to the guests that were not staying overnight and sat with his family contentedly sipping butter beer. Raising his glass he said "To Tonks and Lupin, thank you for that wonderful little boy!"
