Hey everyone! I'm hoping you guys are still liking the story! Thank you to all the new follows from today, I'm glad you're willing to take a chance on this little bit of time from reality.

HARRY

The dark haired man woke up the way he did every morning, with a little guy climbing on top of him. Harry rolled over and scooped his godson in his arms and rolled them over, laughter running on high as fingers began to tickle the little tummy, screams of "Unka Harry!" sounding all through the room. Harry sat up and hugged the boy to him. "Happy Birthday, kiddo."

Teddy turned around and hugged his uncle. "Can we go to Hogwards today? You said on my birthday, Unka Harry."

Harry pulled back and looked at the blurry little kid and smiled. "Miss Minnie is expecting us today, yes. The good news is that students aren't there so we won't be hassled. I thought I'd let you ride your new broom before talking to the pictures."

Teddy climbed out and ran out of the room, his little wolf trailing behind his little feet, telling Harry to hurry up. Harry sighed and ran a hand down his face. All that kid wanted for his birthday was to meet his parents. The school had put up a collage of pictures in a new hall as a memorial for those lost at the battle, as well as both wars, and Harry figured the mass graveyard just wasn't enough. He climbed out of bed, slipping his glasses on, and walked to take a quick shower. He knew Hermione was already at the bakery below him anyway, getting it ready and having Teddy's special breakfast ready for them when they went there.

There were only two rooms in the apartment above the new store they had sat up and one of them had to be there should problems arise. Harry was fine with it, finally being able to get out of Grimmauld. Harry turned on the water for his shower and then climbed into the stall, washing off quickly. If he knew his godson, and he was sure he did, Teddy would be waiting in his room and trying to get the broom from where Harry put it.

Harry turned the water off and wrap a towel around his waist as he opened the door to his room and walked in to find a pair of jeans and a tee. He slipped both on and then grabbed some socks and his trainers before heading down to the hall to Teddy, not even worried about his hair since it had a mind of its own anyway.

"Hey, bud, ready?" Harry asked, walking into the room and grabbing the broom from its spot in the closet.

"Yes! Is it big like in the pictures you have, Unka Harry?"

Harry turned and took the little guys hand, heading to the room and down the stairs to breakfast. "Yes. The room where we're going isn't, but the castle is. Ready to see Auntie Mim?"

Teddy jumped up and down, his little wolf in his arms as they closed the door and walked down to the bakery. Teddy ran into the back door, yelling for his Auntie Mim and Harry just smiled. He loved that kid and hated that he lost so much family so young. Harry knew what it was like not having parents, everyone knew this, but they had lost Andromeda before Teddy was one. The Healers had told Harry it was a broken heart from all she had lost in the war. Teddy didn't really understand all that, and Harry didn't want him to feel like he wasn't enough for her to stay when he was older.

"Morning, Harry."

Harry smiled and sat next to his godson. "Morning, Mim. You sure you're alright today? It's the first weekend and we've been steady all week."

Hermione pulled out some muffins and scones as she smiled, sitting them to cool. "Of course. I am going to make the cake when we close at 11 for the switch to lunch. I already have the batter in the fridge for me to put in the oven about then and it takes 45 minutes. When it gets slow around 1:30, I can put the icing on."

Harry takes a bite of the french toast and smiles. "Alright. Have any of them decided to come?"

Harry didn't want to say who because he knew Teddy was missing the Weasley bunch and with everything going on, Harry was hoping they wouldn't forget today. Hermione looked at her friend and knew he was hoping.

She sighed. "I haven't heard. Nev and Luna are bringing the twins, of course. That I do know. I think Seamus and Hannah also, but with Dean apparently with Gin, who knows."

"Thomas? What happened to what's his name?"

Hermione sat down across from the boys. "I think he was just to see what you'd do. I know you said she wasn't upset when you finally talked everything out, but you have to wonder what she told her family. She's not helping to diffuse anything, Harry, and Teddy's getting the raw deal out of it."

Harry sat his fork down. "I know. Teddy never really grew on Gin, not really. She put up the front for Molly and the family, but at home...she never touched him. It wasn't going to work anyway if she kept neglecting him, I know that. I'm just glad they're mad for my preference than the fact that I have Teddy."

Teddy had sat his fork down and held his hands out to show he was done, wanting his Auntie Mim to wipe them. Hermione smiled and took a wet towel, getting the sticky off. "You boys have fun and I'll see you when you get back, alright Teddy."

Teddy nodded, starting to jump in his seat. "We're going to see my parents, Auntie Mim. I never sawd them before."

Hermione smiled. "It's saw them and I know. They will love you, Teddy. They loved you loads as soon as they knew about you."

Harry smiled and got up, grabbing his godson, who was hugging Hermione, so they could apparate to Hogsmeade. While they were walking down, they saw Malfoy putting out a sale sign by the open door and smiled. Draco waved and Teddy yelled "Hey Mr. Malfoy! It's my birthday." as they kept going. Draco had called out a "Happy Birthday!" and then went back inside.

Harry still didn't know about all that concerned the blond at the Quidditch store. What he did know from that man coming into the bakery that Hermione was probably right about school. Feelings he hadn't felt since the bathroom incident were surfacing and Harry knew that could cause problems. He needed to focus on Teddy now, not on anything else. He hadn't just been able to be him and Teddy since he had gotten him. Ginny demanded a lot of attention and Harry wasn't going to let anyone else take his time from the boy anymore, it wasn't right.

They apparated to the gate of Hogwarts to find McGonagall waiting on them. Harry smiled and put Teddy down, watching him run to the older woman. McGonagall picked up the boy and twirled with him as Harry walked up to them. "Thanks Minerva."

She laughed and looked to the man. "You're quite welcome. I already let them know he'd be in today. They are very excited to finally see him. I already told Remus he didn't inherit the gene, he was quite relieved."

"Good, is the pitch open?"

The Headmistress shook her head. "Not for another hour. Some students are already getting ready for try-outs."

Harry nodded. "The broom's not that high, we could do the ride here. He wanted one."

Harry held up the broom and Teddy told the woman all about the store and Mr. Malfoy. McGonagall looked at the ex-student. "Draco?"

Harry shrugged. "I haven't really asked him about it. Mim knows. He's different, Minerva, Mim says he's quite charming."

Minerva let the boy down and looked at Harry. "Well, maybe the war did some good for that man. Merlin knows his parents never did."

She let them do their thing, heading back up for some meeting. Harry let Teddy run in front of him till they reach a space that was open enough and told him to mount his broom. They spent hours with Teddy riding it. Harry for one was glad it only went like five feet from the ground. This helped him to show his godson how to move the broom and command it so it'd go where he wanted it too. Teddy spent all morning on the broom and finally got tired, asking about his parents. They ate some sandwiches and then Harry shrunk the broom and put it in his pocket before taking Teddy's hand.

Teddy had no words when they walked into the castle, moving his head. He wanted to see everything. Harry saw his face and knew his was like that when he first saw the castle as well all those years ago. They walked up some stairs that moved, causing the boy to laugh. Harry smiled and tugged on his hand to lead him to lead down the corridor. They arrived at the room and Harry picked him up.

"Can we meet your mummy and daddy too?" Teddy asked, looking at all the people.

Harry smiled. "They're over here."

Harry took him to a picture that had three men and a red head sitting in the Gryffindor common room. "Hey guys."

They all looked out and smiled. "Harry!"

Harry smiled. "Mum, Dad, Sirius, Remus...this is my godson Teddy. Teddy these are the Marauders and my mum."

They all said hello and Teddy just waved. Remus came as close as he could and smiled. "He's so big, Harry. I heard Minnie with my other picture. I never thought I'd get a chance to have a family except these guys. Thank you for taking care of him."

Harry nodded, "You're welcome, Moony."

Teddy's eyes got big and smiled. "That's my wolf, Unka Harry. I name him that."

Harry smiled. "Yes you did, ready to meet Remus when he was your dad?"

Teddy smiled and said bye to all of them.

"Harry."

"Mum."

She looked at him, a tear rolling down. "Did you tell her? One of my other pictures, the one with you, told me what you figured out. Are you alright?"

The boys looked at Lily, trying to figure it out. Harry just shrugged. "Hasn't been the greatest, but you and dad assured me you would've loved me anyway. We should go, Hermione's alone at the bakery."

Lily smiled and nodded. "You'll find someone, Harry. Potters aren't meant to be alone. I should know, your father wouldn't leave me alone till I finally agreed to a date."

Harry smiled at the blush that his dad had as he pulled a young Lily in his arms. He waved once more and then took Teddy to the bigger portrait of Remus and Dora.

They walked over and looked at the wolf, sitting on a couch with his wife's head in his lap.

"Hey guys."

They jumped and looked out at the man with their son. "Harry!"

Harry smiled. "This is Teddy. He wanted to meet you today for his birthday."

Harry watched as Remus squeezed his wife's hand, who was trying to hold it together. Teddy leaned closer and touched the painting on his mother's face. "Mummy."

She smiled. "Hey, Teddy. When you get here and feel alone, you come see us."

He nodded. "I'm four today. This is Moony. Harry bought him for me when I was a baby."

Remus looked at his friend's son and smiled. "Thank you, cub."

Harry shrugged. "My mum's family didn't tell me anything. I have told Teddy all I could. I have my album still, so he knows what you look like and the Marauders. I want him to know you all. You're my family too, Remus."

It was always hard, coming to see them. This is why Harry didn't do it all that often. The last time was because he wanted to ask his mother about being gay. He had to know, even though everyone told him they'd be alright with it. What he didn't know was that Sirius was and that was why he didn't have girls, he had a Severus. What a shock that was to find out.

"Watch, mummy! Unka Harry says I'm like you."

Harry watched as the boy changed his hair and then his parents laugh as Tonks did as well. Teddy laughed and clapped his little hands, his wolf held tightly between his arm and his tummy.

"That's great, baby. McGonagall told us about mum, Harry, and that Teddy didn't get the gene."

Harry nodded. "Yea. After Andromeda, I took Teddy to a special healer. Everyone knew his parents of course. Remus was a big player in both wars, after all, and James Potter's friend. I wanted to make sure so I knew how to handle him. Mim, um...Hermione, was going to make the potion. She was studying it for me so Teddy'd be safe. All the tests were negative, but the healer did say that when he hits puberty, it may change. Right now though, he's a healthy little boy who's a perfect mix of his parents."

Remus nodded. "Teddy, you mummy wanted to talk to you."

Teddy climbed down and went to the portrait next to them and Remus looked at Harry.

"I heard what you told your mum and dad, cub. Did you talk to one of Padfoot's portraits?"

Harry nodded. "Yea, found out about Severus. I wish he would've been here to help me with it. The Weasley's have shunned me and Mim because she sided with me. It's not my fault I didn't know and it's not like I had all the time to figure it out."

Remus nodded and sat back. "Agreed. I walked over to talk to James and Sirius after you left that afternoon. Sirius and I told James that we didn't see the Weasleys as being alright with it. That's why Sirius didn't talk about it. Apparently Molly's been planning your wedding since you were 11 and it caused many arguments with the two. Sirius said he knew. Severus and Albus had a hunch on it, also."

Harry nodded and they talked for a bit more with Teddy. Teddy told them about the bakery and their new home. He also told him about Mr. Malfoy, which caused Harry to redden a bit and his father's friend to chuckle. "You two did remind my of Severus and Sirius when we were there. Have you talked to him?"

Harry shook his head. "I'm usually in the back making things when he comes in. Who knew that all the cooking for the Dursley's gave me a business."

They chuckled and then it was time to go. Teddy promised to come see them when he went to school and Harry promised to try to bring him back. They did stop at a picture of the Potters as well as Sirius before leaving, the last one assuring him that he shouldn't worry about the dumb red heads, they're not good enough. Harry stopped by McGonagall's office once more to say they were leaving and to talk a minute with Severus and Albus. Teddy held his hand as they walked the path to the gate and then they apparated to Diagon Alley. He put Teddy down and then they started walking down the cobble street to the bakery.

"Unka Harry, look."

Harry looked up to see Ron in Draco's face as they walked in to the store and Harry sighed. "What's going on?"

Hermione sighed with relief and the men turned to look the savior. "He's harassing, Herm…"

"Ronald, I have told you, he's not harassing me. He was ordering food, just like he has all week. If you're going to cause problems, you can leave. Harry, how was the school?"

Teddy ran to Hermione, who picked him up. He went on and on about the broom riding and getting to meet everyone. Harry kept his eyes on Ron and Draco. He walked forward and sighed. "What did you want, Ron? We haven't seen you in weeks."

He ignored Draco, but only because he wanted Ron to calm down.

"You're alright with the ferret here? You're probably letting him fuc.."

"Don't finish that or so help me Weasley, I will throw you out myself. My godson is right there and doesn't need to hear it. If you want to talk to Mim, talk to her. If you just want to poke at me, then leave. I have heard enough from your family and I'm done. I was hoping you guys remembered what today is, but I don't even want you there anymore. Just go."

Harry, still not looking at the other man, took Teddy and told Hermione he was putting him down before coming back. Teddy wrapped his arms around his godfather's neck. "Bye Auntie Mim, Mr. Malfoy!"

Harry didn't have to turn to know Ron was mad that even Teddy was nice to the guy as Harry took him upstairs. They were silent as Harry opened the door and walked with Teddy to his room. Harry laid him down and took his shoes off, making sure he had his little wolf.

"Unka Harry, why's Ron mad? Is it because I made Ginny leave."

Harry looked at the boy, now with red hair. He only used that color when he was upset and confused.

"No, he's mad at me, kid. You know how I told you I didn't like girls the same way. (Teddy nodded) Well, Ron and his family don't like that I don't like girls. Sleep, you may come down when you're awake and Auntie Mim will have your cake."

Teddy's eyes lit up and he hugged his wolf. "Alright. Love you, Unka Harry."

Harry smiled and kissed his forehead. "Love you too, Teddy."

Harry turned and shut the door. As he walked down to Hermione, he put up the ward to let him know when Teddy woke up and opened the front door. He also put up the charms to let him know if someone that wasn't him or Hermione entered his apartment. He walked back through the back door to see Hermione and Draco in the kitchen. He didn't say anything, just grabbed a cupcake and sat down at the table.

"You ok?"

Harry looked at Hermione. "Nothing I didn't expect. He crossed the line and blew it this time, Mim. He's not welcome with me. Every time he didn't like something, or let his pride get in the way, he left. I'm done forgiving him. It's too much every time he leaves again. How are you?"

She smiled. "I was telling him that I couldn't date him if he wasn't going to accept your choices when Draco walked in. I don't think he's coming back either, Harry. I can't fight with him anymore, it hurts too much."

Hermione gave Harry's shoulders a squeeze and then looked at the other guy in the room. "You're welcome to stay for cake when Teddy wakes, if you want."

Harry looked at Draco, who shrugged. "Really, Malfoy. Teddy likes you and would be happy about it."

The girl went to finish the top of the cake and then went out as the door dinged. Draco sat next to Harry. "What did the Weasel mean, Harry? About us?"

Harry sighed. "After the battle, I was pushed to be with Gin. We were together before I left to defeat that bastard and so Molly convinced me to and Ginny was persuasive. I thought I cared for her more than I do. After a year, Teddy came to me full time when Andromeda passed and it strained our relationship. Well, according to Ginny anyway. I admit, at 18, I wasn't ready for a kid. I was still trying to figure out the Harry that wasn't just trying to survive anymore. Well...the strain ended up with me figuring out it wasn't so much as the new addition as the fact that I didn't find her all that attractive, I didn't find any girl attractive."

Harry had gotten quieter at the last part and then got up to throw away his cupcake cup. He turned to see Malfoy still sitting there, watching him. Harry leaned back and watched the blond get up and walk over a bit. Draco didn't come to close, but he was still trying to wrap his head around the fact that if he played his cards right, he may just get the man in front of him.

"First, it's not your fault since you had a lot going on. Second, that family was always a bit different. I'm sure they liked the fact you had money. Third, you don't need them. I told Hermione that too. If they can't except the fact you want a man and not a woman, fuck them, Harry."

Harry looked at the man. "You called me Harry."

Draco smiled, just a small half one, but a smile. "And you can call me Draco, if you want. The war's over, a lot has changed. My parents aren't hanging over me, telling me what to do, and I love my job. I love getting up and working for what I have. I already made nice with Granger, I think I can handle making nice with you."

Harry chuckled. "Alright, Ma-Draco. I can if you can. And please, come for cake. Mim's right, Teddy'd really like that."

Draco smiled. "Alright. I have to get back, but we close at four, so I'll come for cake."

Harry nodded as the man walked out and then he went to help out his partner in crime while waiting for his godson to wake up.
