Into the Past
"A no not really went to Hogwarts saw you around." He said like it was the truth witch it kind of was he had gone to Hogwarts and probably saw her, but really Harry only met her because the twins had hired her to work at WWW. "So, are you ok?"
"Oh, ah yea 'm alright." She said glancing back again. "What did you say your name was?"
"I didn't but its Evan, Evan McFly. Do you want me to call some aurors you look like you're having a rough night?"
"No, that's alright I'm on my way to my boyfriend's he's an auror, but thanks." She said and started to walk away. Harry thought it was strange at how reluctant he was to let her leave. No. he told himself that he wasn't going to do that. He was not going to get involved with anyone. Teddy was his responsibility not dating. He could date all he wants when Teddy's of age or even at Hogwarts.
Chapter 7: Nightmares
Harry continued on his way back to headquarters trying to reign in his emotions. They were threatening to over whelm him. He wouldn't be sleeping tonight that's for sure. He knew that as soon as he closed his eyes he would be haunted with visions of the past except now they weren't of the past but of the future.
They would be what would happen if he failed to end the war before it began, but that wasn't the worst that could happen. No, he could royally screw-up and end up getting more people killed. Ideally he would have gone to Ron and Hermione with something this big, the problem was Ron and Hermione were now 15 years old and well needed to do a lot of growing up.
If he remembered correctly it wasn't until later this year that Hermione realized that not everyone in authority was right, they didn't all deserve that authority. Then there was Ron. His best mate. Ron could be immature, but at 15 he was irrevocably immature. He was hot headed, irrational, jealous, and had an inferiority complex. Ron didn't realize how lucky he was, how special and important, he didn't realize how much his friendship meant to Harry. But, none of that mattered. What mattered was that for the first time since he was eleven years old he had no one.
He had to end this war on his own. He wasn't the naive 15 year old that trusted Dumbledore explicitly. Although now that he thought on it he was rather upset with Dumbles when he was 15 and was reluctant to go to him for help because of it. Now, though he knew if he went to Dumbledore and the Order that they would take the information and push him off to the side probably giving him some menial task to make him feel that he was important, that he was of use. No, he couldn't do that he would have to dole out information as they needed it.
It made him feel like he was Dumbledore to do it, to only give out bits of information at a time, to decide what others needed to know, to play God. But by doing it this way he was able to control what changed therefore being able to anticipate Voldy's next move. He would have plenty of time to strategize tonight after everyone was asleep. He was basically planning chess against two masters of the game and his only advantage was they didn't know he was planning and that he knew what they were going to do. Merlin, this was his worst nightmare come true, having to live the war again.
Harry then stepped into Grimmauld Place. He heard voices in the kitchen and continued to move towards it. Once, he opened the door he had no choice but to smile Teddy was sitting at the table with enough food in front of him to feed Ron for a week which was saying something seeing how much he could eat.
"Daddy, you're back." Teddy ran over to Harry jumping into his arms.
"I'm back, Buddy." He said ruffling the midnight purple hair. "How's your head doing?"
"It still hurts." He said frowning.
"Well, good thing I got you some Tylenol." Harry said taking out the medicine from the package and measuring out the proper amount into the little cup. "Drink up."
Teddy did so smiling, enjoying the cherry flavor. Harry sat down and began to eat. "So, what did you do while I was gone?"
Teddy launched into the story about how he convinced Remus to play chess with him. "But I lost."
Harry chuckled, "Well, Remus is pretty good at chess. Frankly I would like to see Remus and Ron play each other. That would be a good game."
"Do you think we could go to Diagon Ally tomorrow and get some ice-cream?" He asked his eyes wide.
"I don't think that's a good idea sweetie," Molly Weasley said in a mothering tone.
Harry rolled his eyes, "I don't see why. Teddy doesn't exist yet and no one will recognize me."
"Clearly you aren't as smart as I thought. You will be recognized, and then the ministry will bring you in for questioning, dose you with veritaserum and find out all about the future." Harry opened his mouth to object, but Moody didn't let him. "Glamour charms are easily detected and removed it was a suitable disguise for going into the muggle world but it will not fool wizards."
"That is why I got this." He said taking the hair dye out of the bag and setting it on the table. "Muggle hair dye, it's undetectable by magic. I also have muggle contacts that can change my eye color and cover up that will cover up my scar. There is a reason that I became Head Auror six months ago and I assure you it has nothing to do with my celebrity status."
"You're Head Auror?"
"How?"
"No way!" exclaimed several people at once.
"I've had years of practice fighting dark wizards and that has upon occasion meant going undercover. Now I believe it is time for bed." Harry said looking at Teddy who was fighting to keep his eyes open. "Someone has had a long day." To say the Order was surprised would be an understatement. Harry certainly had changed he wasn't moody or depressed, and he had just rolled with the punches, taking everything as it came.
Harry reached out his arms and scooped Teddy up. "What rooms are safe?"
"There are two rooms on the second floor across from each other that are free. There the first doors on either side." Harry nodded and made his way to the rooms, but before he left Molly added, "There's to be an Order meeting first thing in the morning Albus wish for you to attended."
Later that night after everyone had gone to sleep Harry went into the drawing room; he went to the cupboard and pulled out a large locket with an ornamental S decorating it. He slipped it into his pocket and began to think as he paced the room.
One of the first things he would have to do was get-rid of the horcruxes and that would be a problem on its own. Sure, he had just got the locket and it would be easy enough to get the diadem, but the cup and snake would be a challenge. Then there was the ring he knew where it was but not what curse was on it and he defiantly didn't want to lose his hand to get rid of it although he would be willing to do so if necessary after all he did plan to die the first time. Oh, that would be another problem, how to get rid of the horcrux inside of Harry* without killing him? Maybe by stabbing the scar and then having Fawkes heal him? It was something to think about.
In the mean time he could help the Order out. Take a shift or two of guarding the prophecy. That should prevent Arthur's untimely meeting with the snake… Well, maybe there was more of a reason to take a few shifts than he originally thought. Abruptly Harry's thoughts were interrupted by someone crying. He got up and made his way to Teddy's room.
He saw the little boy curled up in a ball crying his eyes out. Harry rushed over to him scooping up into a tight hug. "Shh, it's ok. I'm here. I've got you." He whispered reassuringly in the little boy's ear. "How 'bout we go get some hot chocolate and you can tell me what's bothering you?" Harry asked as the Teddy began to calm down.
He stopped once he was in the hallway. Apparently Remus, Tonks, and Molly, who obviously dragged Arthur with her, had heard Teddy crying and came to check on him, which put Harry in an awkward position seeing as he didn't have a shirt on which meant not only were his numerous scars were visible but also his tattoos were there for all to see, something he was sure Molly wouldn't approve of. Although he didn't know for sure he had thus far been able to prevent the Molly of his time from seeing them.
"Hey guys, lovely night, isn't it? Teddy and I were… ah… just on our way to get some hot chocolate."
Then he started to walk off, but Molly stopped him. "We will be discussing your…" Molly gestured at his body clearly unable or just unwilling to vocally admit that Harry had gotten several tattoos.
Once Harry and Teddy made it to the kitchen leaving the 'adults' to discuss what was most like Harry's ability to parent and his inability to be a good role model at the same time, Harry sat Teddy in a chair and began to fix their hot chocolate.
Once he was done and they were both sipping on their drinks he opened up the conversation, "So, what's buggin' you?"
"Please don't give me away. I promise I'll be good." Teddy burst practically in tears again.
Harry practically dropped his drink in surprise. He then knelt in front of his godson, "What on earth are you talking about? I would never give you away! What gave you the idea that I would?" He asked disturbed that his godson thought he cared so little about him. What neither knew was that after the 'adults' discussion they decided they needed more information about Harry and Teddy's relationship and decided to ease drop on their conversation.
