Chapter 3-
It had been a little less than a week since Teddy had arrived at the Burrow. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had decided to take a month away. This left the child in the not-so capable hands of Harry and Ginny. Surprisingly though, besides a minor lack of sleep, things were going very well. Ginny, despite Harry's protests that it was unnecessary, was sharing the load pretty much 50/50 with Harry. Teddy used the room between Harry and Ginny, so they would switch getting up at night. Ginny would get up early with Harry and Teddy and help fed and get Teddy ready so that Harry could shower and feed himself. All day, the couple was together with the baby. Today was no different, well maybe not…
Harry woke up at a half past eight and quickly threw himself out of bed. He ran over to Teddy's crib to find him missing. He pushed away the feeling of dread that began to creep into his stomach. He walked out of the room, down the hall, and pushed open the cracked door to Ginny's room. Suddenly, the feeling of dread that Harry had been pushing away exploded in him, because Ginny was still lying in her bed asleep. Not thinking he ran downstairs. All the different awful cinereous went through his mind. He began thinking of what to do, floo McGonagall? Hermione? Ron?
Harry quickly walked into the living room slightly shaking as a state of panic took over him. He walked over to the fireplace, and just before he threw the powder into the fire, he heard voices coming from the kitchen. The put the powder back into the pot by the fireplace, took out his wand, and walked toward the kitchen. Slowly he pushed open the door, and looked inside. Suddenly, he let out the breath that he hadn't realized that he had been holding, because there sitting at the kitchen table, was Ron, Hermione, and safely tucked in Ron's arm, Teddy.
Harry ran into the room and picked up Teddy, holding him close to his chest. Ron and Hermione quit talking when Harry walked in and looked at each other with worried eyes. After a few minutes, Harry opened his eyes and looked at his friends apologetically.
"I'm sorry guys. I kind of freaked out when he wasn't in my room when I woke up and he wasn't with Ginny. I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were here…"
Ron shook his head, "Don't worry about it mate. I came upstairs when we got here to see if you were up and Teddy was awake, so I took him so you could sleep."
"Thanks." Harry knew that he was so blessed to have the friends that he had. How he had kept them for all these years, he would never know. Ron and Hermione both understood him. Even when Harry didn't understand himself, they understood him. "So why did you guys come home?"
Hermione smiled, "We found my parents, removed the spell, and brought them home. They are out our old house for now, but we came to ask Mr. and Mrs. Weasley if they could come here. I don't want to leave them but Ron felt like he should be here with his parents, who I might add forgot to tell us that they were leaving. So we have decided to go back to my parents house until Mr. and Mrs. Weasley come home, but we knew that you would kill us if you found out we had been here and didn't say hi."
Harry smiled. "Your right. I'm going to go wake up Ginny. She'll want to see you guys before you go. Come on Teddy, let's go wake up Ginny…" With that, Harry turned and left the kitchen.
