Harry turned around and looked in the back seat. Esme was horrified, Rosalie was shocked and Draco was trying desperately not to laugh. He was biting on his bottom lip so hard it was going to bruise. Harry couldn't help but snicker.
"Come on Draco. It's time to fix it."
Alice hopped out of the car. Emmett looked like he was trying to be cowed but he was so happy it was not working. He stood with his head down but couldn't wipe the smile off his face to save his life. Harry grabbed the first hole and mended it as Draco got the second. Harry went towards the trees as Draco fixed the windows.
"Emmett, you damn git." Draco laughed.
Since the house was fixed and Draco and Harry were working on the yard, Emmett went into this explanation of all the damages. Esme had calmed down now that she saw it was easily fixable. Jasper was standing back laughing as Emmett spoke hands waving in the air.
Harry and Draco finished the yard and they all walked inside.
"Harry this is the best present ever."
Harry laughed as he sat on the couch. Edward joined him. Purses were brought over and tiny packages pulled out and put to rights. Harry hadn't realized the enormity of today's adventure. Draco turned to him and began laughing. Even the girls were a little shocked. Teddy's furniture was left small and placed in drawer for when he went to see Andromeda. They had nowhere to put it anyway.
Carlisle sailed through the door a few minutes after they got home. Emmett immediately went into his flying antics. Everyone laughed.
"I took a leave of absence from work. I think we should start building on the rooms."
Esme nodded pulling out the plans and sitting them on the coffee table. Edward grasped Harry's hand again and he lost train of thought. Draco was telling them something about making the potions lab outside away from the house.
They worked on the plans as Harry closed his eyes and felt each brush of Edward's thumb over his hand. He could die happy just like this. He didn't realize he'd fallen asleep again.
He woke in the middle of the bed. Draco was in front of him with Edward behind him again. He smiled and laced his fingers with Edwards's hand resting on his stomach. It was starting to be light outside. He turned and watched the sun as it began to cast pale light on the room.
He moved turning to face Edward. They stared at one another. He leaned closer taking in the smell of vampire. It was sweet and tangy breathtaking. Harry leaned over his lips barely touching cold ones. He smiled then leaned up and slid out of bed.
He didn't speak as he grabbed clean clothes laid out for him by Alice then walked to the shower.
Edward laid their stunned. He sat up running his fingers over his lips then smiled. Damn Gryffindor, he thought. He checked on Draco then ran downstairs. Everyone was outside flying. He pulled out the new cell phones and put on the otter boxes to keep them from breaking, a green for Draco and a red for Harry. He put them both on charge and began entering numbers. He was in such a good mood he even entered in Jacobs as wolf boy on both of their phones.
He saw everyone outside flying. He'd yet to try. Esme hearing him moving around joined him. She lifted her head hearing the shower and began to cook breakfast.
Harry ran down the stairs as a familiar crack filled the air.
"Griphook, how are you?"
"Very well Master Black." He sat down a copy of the Daily Prophet.
Harry rolled his eyes and went to get the locket sitting on the coffee table. He walked back into the dining room and picked up the pensive and sat it in the corner, He put spells on it to not spill and a shield charm around it so no one could move it but him.
He put the locket on the table.
"I have an audit of both your holdings."
"Great. Draco is squirming about the heir vaults. He hopes there are books. I'm going to let the family and Draco look through the paperwork."
Esme was beaming he said family and not Cullens.
She walked in and joined them looking at the stacks of parchments. Edward walked over and began leafing through them. He could already see what a damn nightmare this was going to be. Harry was already deciding what he could do with the locket.
"Oh, I almost forgot. When you go back to Diagon Alley, can you buy us two owls and send them over for me and Draco. You can charge to Black estates."
Griphook nodded. "Yes, Master Black." He stopped for a second almost pondering something. Harry stopped everything and looked at him. "Do you want to know what happened at the reading?"
Harry shook his head. "Not today. May I ask you later?"
Griphook nodded.
"Thank you."
A crack sounded and he was gone.
"Winky!"
"Yes, Master Black."
"Have you been watching Andromeda?"
"Yes, Master Black. Reporters are swarming her house when they heard of what you left in your will."
Harry dropped the locket on the table and picked up the daily prophet. This was why Griphook left it.
HARRY POTTER THE BOY WHO SAVED US FROM HE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED
Today, the noble Harry Potter who killed HE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED at the battle of Hogwarts, will was read yesterday. A source who was there has listed the will as follows.
The will was listed as he'd worded it.
Tears and feelings were shared. Teddy Lupin is now the hot topic in the wizarding community.
It continued on then bashing the ministry after the golden boy gave Draco a stamp of approval. Harry cringed.
He ran upstairs shaking Draco up.
"They are camped outside Andromeda's house."
Draco groaned but got up. Harry grabbed some paper and a pen from Edward's bag and rushed downstairs.
Andromeda,
Please trust me. The first time I met you I crashed into your yard with Hagrid. Please come with Winky. I will be waiting.
"Winky, make sure no one sees you. If Andromeda has company, wait for them to leave then give this to her. Hopefully she will come with you."
With a pop, she was gone.
Half an hour later, Draco came down the steps. Edward and Esme had parchment strung all over the bar trying to split the holdings into Draco's pile and Harry's. Harry pointed at them and mouthed good luck. Draco was ecstatic and went to help them.
Harry went back to his locket. The bloody thing was not working like he wanted it too. It would go back and forth but only once. He wanted it to be able to constantly change locations if you needed it too and reset itself always with home being on where Teddy was.
He snarled as he put the last charm on. It didn't work his temper was getting the better of him. He stomped like a three year old. His magic burst out and broke the lights above him. He fixed them, again. Emmett and Jasper were watching him from the living room completely enjoying the show. He was so angry he didn't care. Edward would occasionally look over and smirk but REFUSED to comment. He bloody well knew better. Draco was so buried in paperwork he could have been run over by thestrals for all he cared. He would only occasionally write down something he wanted pulled from one of the vaults. At one point, they all thought he was having an aneurism when he saw journals written in one of the heir vaults.
Harry of course didn't give a damn. He knocked out the lights for the entire house and had to walk around and fix them one by one.
He snarled when he walked past Jasper and Emmett.
It took three hours, language that caught even him by surprise and turning his own hair fire engine red, which sent Emmett into the floor holding his stomach, to finish it.
The port key could go anywhere. You simply had to say, I want to go home or I want to see Teddy. You could reset any location of home as, this is my new home location. Teddy's location always came back here unless it was reset by Harry.
"I bloody well fucking did it."
Edward ran into the room and scooped him up and kissed him. Holy hippogriffs. His legs turned to goo and he almost hit the floor. The kiss only lasted ten seconds but it felt like a lifetime to Harry. He moaned into the kiss and Edward growled against his lips.
Harry looked at him when he pulled back. Everyone in the room had frozen comically and stared at them even Draco had pulled himself from his bloody crusade. Harry was grinning like a damn girl. Harry's hair was still fire engine red. Unknown to Harry, Draco snapped a picture.
Pop, and Winky was back. She was not alone.
Andromeda stood Teddy in her arms her eyes locking on Draco. Draco's eyes moved to Harry and her vision followed. She swayed when she locked eyes with him.
"Harry."
"I'm sorry Andromeda. Winky told me they are camping at your house."
Andromeda nodded. "You should have seen your will reading. Did they know you are alive?"
"Yeah, only Griphook knows."
"You missed quite a show."
He could imagine.
"The ministry was there. They had to list the vaults that Teddy would inherit. It's wizarding law. They found out you were heir to two houses and everything went down hill from there. Molly was screaming at the minister. George was so shocked he passed out when he read what you left him. Neville was the second. I still can't believe you are alive."
"Andromeda, I need to tell you something. You can't freak out."
Andromeda moved to the couch. Teddy was still asleep in her arms.
"I had all three hallows."
Thank Merlin she was sitting down thought Harry as she swayed.
"I used the stone to talk to Tonks and Lupin. I know I am Teddy's godfather but I want to be his father. They agreed."
She held Teddy tighter. "I don't want to take you from him. I want him to live with me grow up here in America without what I went through. He was already damned by the ministry for being the son of a werewolf. They will always hold that against him. I'm sure the ministry is already trying to take his vaults because of it. Gringotts will not let this happen first because I'm alive and second because Teddy is my true heir and has Black blood. He is owed this. I made you a port key. It can take you here anytime you want day or night. I made it so you can set it to your home wherever you are and all you have to do is say I want to see Teddy and you come straight here to us. This is our home."
Andromeda looked around.
"If that is not good enough, you are more than welcome to live here."
Her head scanned everyone in the room. She only knew Draco and Harry. Everyone was in the room now. Harry handed her the port key. "I just finished it. I have been trying for hours to get it finished. I want to explain before you make a decision. It doesn't have to be now. I love Teddy and we will all wait for your decision."
"The night after the battle, I woke up and didn't want the elder wand anymore. It corrupts. I want no part of it. I thought it should go back where it belongs, in Dumbledore's grave. I walked down to the grave and was attacked. I killed them but they hit me with a cutting curse. I was bleeding out. I tried to apparate to the castle but my powers since Voldemort killed the horcrux inside me have almost quadrupled and grown every day. I didn't realize that my power was being siphoned by the horcrux to survive. I don't even think Dumbledore understood that."
"I landed out in the middle of the woods and passed out. I woke up and had no magic in my core. It was the middle of the night and I couldn't even do Lumos. I literally walked right into my new family."
Harry introduced them all one by one going around the room.
"They helped me when they didn't know anything about me. They brought me here cleaned me up and kept me safe. As soon as I was conscious, I called Winky and Kreature. I started making sure my vaults and everything were safe and changed my name to Harry Black. I sent Draco's wand back to him with a note telling him we should have made better choices. I should have accepted his friendship when it was offered so he would have not buckled under your sister and his father's demands for him to become a death eater."
"Draco wrote me back and told me he would extend his hand again if I would take it and if I would take him with me, he would leave England and follow me. I don't think anyone understands but Draco and myself but neither one of had choices. I was under Dumbledore's influence of manipulation and Draco was under his fathers. Dumbledore raised me to die."
Andromeda gasped. "Why would he do that?"
"He thought it was for the greater good."
She looked around the room again then down at Teddy. She loved him unconditionally like her own child. She didn't care his father was a werewolf. But, she was getting older. She would not live forever. It was already hard on her to take care of him full time. The inheritance had helped, but she didn't think she could give him up without Harry proving himself.
"I want to talk to Nymphadora."
"If I do this, it will be the last time the stone sees the light of day."
She nodded.
Winky was waiting in the room watching everyone. "Tell Griphook it is an emergency. I need the resurrection stone. Tell him, this will be the last time it is used and I apologize now for asking for it."
Pop, and she was gone.
They waited ten minutes. Teddy started to stir. His little head popped up. His eyes locked on Harry's. Harry smiled. Teddy's little arms popped up in the air as Harry took him in him in his arms. Teddy's hair turned bright red like Harry's and his eyes turned the same shade as green. Harry laughed.
"Merlin, I miss your mother."
Teddy made out a baby's giggle noise. It floated around the room and every single one of them fell in love with Teddy Lupin.
Crack. Griphook without waiting held up the stone. Harry took it. The emotion floored him again. "Jasper run."
He didn't have to be told twice. He was out the door. Harry reined it back in and looked around the room.
"I thought you said your damn goodbyes already." Laughed Sirius.
Harry laughed. "Who am I to question fate?"
"Lupin, Tonks, Andromeda is here to see you. I told her I want to be Teddy's dad and raise him. She wants to make sure that this is something you want and can agree too."
They both moved and to Harry and took in Teddy. Teddy saw them too. His little hand tried to touch the one Tonks held out.
"Lupin, he is gorgeous."
Lupin beamed as Sirius stepped up to him and cooed.
"Andromeda, touch the stone."
She walked over touching the small stone with Harry. She almost fainted. Edward grabbed her and he saw the people in the room now.
His mind almost blew off at that. Harry watched his mom and dad move over and start speaking to him. He couldn't hear a dam word they said.
"Draco!"
Draco moved to him and grabbed Harry's side. Snape began to shove people out of the way to make it to his Godson. Draco's grip was cutting off circulation.
"Fred." Harry tried to give them some privacy. Fred shoved Sirius out of the way.
"Oi! My chosen one."
Sirius laughed as everyone in the room started grabbing on to everyone else and watched the chaos unfold.
"I left George ten million Galleons for the shop."
Fred burst into laughter. "I bet he is still in shock."
Harry laughed. "Andromeda said he fainted then Neville hit the floor right after him."
The both burst into laughter. Sirius butted in grabbing Fred around the shoulder and they started telling embarrassing Harry stories.
"Fred, you better shut it."
"Why chosen boy, you going kill me."
"Maybe."
Both Sirius and Fred burst into laughter.
Harry watched his mom and dad come back over to him. "Carlisle, Esme."
They followed his voice and both grabbed onto his shoulder. "This is my mum and dad James Potter and Lily Evans. Mum, dad this is Carlisle and Esme Cullen. They are my new family. He tried to point them out but couldn't find them all in the see of everyone crouched together."
They began to speak quietly as Sirius and George began whispering more horror stories. Teddy was bored and looking up at Harry. He blocked everything else and moved kissing him in the nose. Teddy giggled again and began to play with his shirt.
"I hope she lets me be your dad."
Harry was so enraptured by Teddy, he missed the entire room and ghosts watch him with nothing but love.
He held the stone and baby for half an hour. Introductions made stories swapped. Harry's damn left arm was going to fall off from lack of blood from bloody Draco. He said goodbye to his parents again and they told him they approved of Edward. His face went from normal to matching his hair in all of two seconds. Fred and Sirius dropped to the floor laughing. Well at least someone was enjoying it. He was going to have a bloody heart attack.
Everyone unlocked and he gave the stone to Griphook.
"I will always remember this. Thank you."
Griphook was taken back but nodded and with a crack he was gone.
Draco dropped right in the floor. Harry was so tired he sat right on top of him in his lap.
"Oi! Fat arse get off me."
Harry whipped his head around. "Language, Black. Teddy, Draco has been bad."
Teddy looked between them.
"Fine, beautiful voluptuous one with fiery locks, you are making my legs go to sleep."
"Teddy," Harry pouted. "Draco is being mean."
Teddy whipped his head around moving in Draco's face giving him the most Malfoy like stare Harry had ever seen. Harry was loving it. Draco looked at them his mouth popping open as Teddy continued to glare at him, his cute little cherub cheeks begging to be kissed.
Harry leaned down and stared kissing them making him giggle and squirm. Harry looked back at Draco and beamed. Draco had still yet to close his mouth. Harry took his finger and snapped it shut for him. The entire house broke into laughter.
Teddy sighed then leaned into Harry and fell asleep.
Rosalie volunteered her bedroom for Andromeda while she stayed. Alice and Rosalie went shopping to get sheets and things for Teddy. Andromeda and Esme went along.
Teddy stayed with Harry, Draco and Edward. Jasper and Emmett went deeper in the woods to practice flying. With Teddy in the house, they didn't want a repeat of Emmett barreling through the bloody walls. Draco was back to being an accountant on the kitchen bar.
Harry pulled out the plush wolf and gave it to Teddy. He went with it everywhere now. He would let other people hold him but he had to be in eyesight of Harry at all times. If he wasn't he would flash his hair red then screaming would begin until his eyes would lock back with Harry's. Harry loved it. He didn't want to let him go either. He was trying to share him but it was damn hard.
He decided to stay in the kitchen and work on the bracelets. Edward stood with Teddy in his arms. Harry was only doing this with Teddy so close because it was charming protection spells. Cursing he would demand Teddy being taken somewhere else.
They heard a crack and two owls sat quietly in cages in the living room. Griphook was brilliant.
He turned back to the bracelet then looked over his shoulder at Edward. He was swaying looking down at Teddy as he fell asleep. He was humming some melody that made Harry want to pool in the floor. In that second, he loved him.
"I love you, Edward Cullen."
Edward looked up his eyes whipping to Harry's in complete shock then Harry watched the smile creep in and it almost blasted Harry away with the joy he saw. "I love you too."
Harry smiled and went back to his bracelet.
Alice was picking up a stroller that looked like a pram. She was completely in love with it. She stopped mid step of picking it off the shelf. Esme and Rosalie knowing what was happening moved to her. She squealed when she came out of her vision.
Rosalie was about to panic.
Alice was jumping up and down like a lunatic but she didn't care. She whipped around looking at concerned faces and squealed in joy again. "I just saw it. It just happened. Harry looked over to Edward. Edward was humming to Teddy as he fell asleep. He told Edward he loved him."
Everyone's mouth dropped.
"You should have seen Edward's face. He was so shocked then he grinned and said it too."
Alice jumped up and down, up and down and squealed again. Rosalie and Esme abandoned all reason and joined her. They knew Edward. If he said it, he meant it.
Harry was snarling again. Stupid bloody bracelet. Teddy was still asleep and he was trying desperately to keep his trap shut. It was really hard. Edward was smirking at him. He knew Edward watched as Harry became unraveled bit by slow agonizing bit.
The charm to make it shrink and expand as they changed shape was the easiest. It was the damn shield charm that was being nasty. One or the other was easy. Combining said charms were being little pricks.
He snarled again when he heard Edward chuckle. He moved his gaze going to slits as they reached Edward's eyes. Edward cast his eyes down. Smart move, vampire.
Harry closed his eyes even he was getting nasty now.
He pulled at his core and let his magic wrap around the bracelet. He stayed there for a full five minutes before the magic began to flex and bind itself together. He let go of his core and felt the magic in every molecule of metal.
"Draco."
Draco stood and walked to him. Harry handed him the bracelet. As soon as it touched his skin, he flinched.
"Potter, how did you do this? I've never seen a shield charm this strong."
Harry laughed, "Magic and getting really angry."
Draco snorted.
"Want to try it out?"
Draco grabbed it and ran out the door.
Harry started from stunning spells and gradually going up from hex to curse. Harry smirked. Draco's face faltered. "BOMBARDA!"
The curse bounced right off the shield and slammed into the ground. They both beamed before Draco snarled. "POTTER!"
Harry took off running. Draco was in hot pursuit. Edward rocked the child in his arms and snickered.
Edward looked down at Teddy. He'd fallen so in love with this child. He'd never thought he would be able to be around children. Teddy was like Harry and Draco. Their blood did not tempt him. Edward was just a man desperately in love with the idea of a family. He silently closed his eyes and prayed. Something he hadn't done since he'd become a vampire, that they could keep this perfect little boy."
When Edward finished, Teddy was looking at him and smiling. Edward ran his fingers down his face. Teddy grinned pulling his little cub of a stuff animal to his chest. He snuggled into Edward's arms and his head didn't change to the fiery red as Draco called it. Edward grinned. Maybe, Teddy would fall for him too.
Harry ran in the house with bright purple hair and a pink tank top. Draco was steps behind in a French maid outfit. Teddy's head popped up as he watched them run around the room and clapped his hands. Edward was laughing as he steadied Teddy. Draco tried to grab a dodging Harry. That is when the girls walked back into the house.
Harry waived his hand and bows popped up all over Draco's hair. Draco made a lunge. Harry dodged but ended up with gold glitter all over his skin. Draco made another lunge as Jasper and Emmett walked through the open door. Harry jumped over the couch. Draco followed. They all watched as Draco's boxers turned into white lacy panties before Draco's legs jerked straight up going wide panties in the air before he tumbled over the couch with a crash.
"Oi! Potter! I might want to have kids one day."
Draco snarled then Harry was running in a ruffed mini skirt. Harry hit the floor in two steps. Draco laughed still laying in the floor behind the couch.
"DRACO! WHY AM I IN HEELS?" Harry's feet shot up from the floor as everyone looked at the six inch clear platform shoes. "ARE THESE WHAT I THINK THEY ARE?"
"Click your heels potter."
Harry with his feet still in the air did. Everyone watched as only his feet being able to be seen began turning around in a circle.
"You don't even need a pole."
Harry clicked his heels again and he stopped. He was going to murder him.
Harry jumped off the floor and looked across the room for the first time. Alice had pulled out her phone and Harry could only imagine she was recording this. Harry looked over to Teddy who was still jumping up in Edward's arms his hair going from red to purple. Harry pointed to Teddy so she would record him to. She spun around everyone caught Teddy's utter glee.
Draco moved to throttle him when Harry pointed to the door.
He shrieked and dropped back behind the couch.
Harry burst into laughter this time along with everyone else who had been laughing quietly so they could see the entire show. Emmett was on the floor with Jasper. Carlisle walked through the door then. He'd decided to work on the house and was walking in tool belt in hand.
He took in the scene and fell into mirth with them. Harry waived his hand and righted him and Draco.
The rest of the week went by pretty uneventful. Harry worked on the bracelets when he was not spending time with Teddy. During his sharing time or when Teddy wanted Edward, he would walk back to the kitchen and continue.
With Draco's help, he trained the owls after they put Teddy to bed. His bed was in the same room as Draco, Harry and Edward.
Andromeda fit in easily and they all got along.
It was Thursday when he sent Jacob his owl. They'd trained it to sit on your head until you wrote back. He hoped he would hear the stories from the wolves this weekend of how that turned out.
Friday, he engraved the bracelets. He worked on the Cullen's first. He used an engraving charm Draco found. Carlisle's, he wrote his name and compassion. Esme, he wrote her name and love. Rosalie's he wrote loyalty. Jasper's he wrote strength. Emmett's he wrote trickster. Alice's he wrote honor. They also said mother, father, sister or brother. Edward's was the hardest so he just wrote down what he thought. He would like it or he wouldn't. He wrote their names side by side Harry, Edward I love you Mate.
He hid them for later then called for Edward. He came without Teddy. He already knew Rosalie had stolen him.
"Pull up those names." Edward pulled out his phone and showed him the text. Harry quickly wrote their names on the band. The only one he marked different was Jacob's. Jacob Black, wolf boy.
He waited until dinner when they were all laughing in the kitchen together. Esme sat his plate down.
"I want to give you something. It's from me and Draco."
Harry pulled the bracelets out of his pocket and handed them around. Draco was beaming. He sat back down and began to eat. Before he knew it he was in the middle of a Cullen sandwich. He laughed trying to get past being the center of attention.
"This is what you have been working on."
"Yes, it's also why me and Draco had the fight." It had been classified as the fight because it had been document and threatened to be used as blackmail. He'd ended up looking like a stripper and Draco a French maid.
It will protect you up to at least an explosion hex. But honestly, I'm afraid to test it any farther. I'm sure the really nasty ones it would fail but it would give you a life and death chance it you were screwed. I bought an extra one in case I messed up. I didn't. I guess it was just meant to be. He handed it to Andromeda. She took it and slid it over her wrist.
Teddy passed out early that night. Rosalie let him sleep in her arms.
Harry passed out before Draco and Edward joined him in bed.
He woke up Saturday morning by a screaming Teddy. He was furious. Teddy Malfoy glared at anyone but Edward and Harry. Harry pulled himself out of bed and showered. There was a large stack of boxes waiting when he walked downstairs. He started digging around and found they were Draco's potion materials. Draco was ecstatic. He set up outside in a make shift potions lab they built that would make due until they could make the real one.
Harry dug around in Draco's trunk and found the old monster book of monster book to bring to Jacob later and left it downstairs with the bracelets for the wolves.
He was about to grab Teddy from Edward when they heard the explosion. Harry was out the door and running to Draco. The cauldron he had been working on was gone. Shard pieces of it lay around like confetti. Draco was unconscious on the ground.
