"Did you decide?" Ginny asked, her hands on her hips and a glare on her face.
Harry rolled his eyes slightly, moving past her into the room quickly. "I did."
Ginny's face slowly turned a brilliant shade of red s she stared at her husband. Harry stared back, his eyebrows raised. "And?" Ginny finally snapped.
"And I'm taking the deal." Harry told her, his voice hard. Ginny glared furiously, her mouth opening to argue. Harry cut her off. "I've always wanted to meet my parents. And Teddy deserves to know Remus. Sirius had his entire life taken from him. This is his chance to live the life he was supposed to."
"My kids will never, never, be around that mad man." Ginny told him furiously, turning on her heel and storming up the stairs. Harry winced as he heard the bedroom door slam open. That would leave a mark for him to fix.
Teddy hurried down the stairs, a worried look on his face and Lily on his hip. His red headed daughter was staring at him with big, worried eyes. "Everything okay?" Teddy asked softly.
Harry nodded, reaching out to wrap his arm around Teddy's shoulder and hug him to his side. Lily gave a small smile to her father, but didnt let go of Teddy. The sound of footsteps down the stairs and Harry turned his eyes to his angry wife once again. His eyes instantly narrowed in on the bag over his shoulder. "If you want that family over this family, then you can leave." She stormed, throwing the bag at Harry's feet. Teddy gasped, holding Lily tighter against him. Harry looked behind Ginny, seeing his sons slowly walking down the stairs with wide eyes.
"This is my house, Ginny." Harry said quietly. "I'm not leaving."
Ginny stared at him, so furious that she was shaking. "Fine." She hissed, turning around and walking back to the stairs. "James, Albus, go pack a bag. Teddy, pack one for you and Lily."
"No." Teddy said instantly, hold onto Lily and stepping out of Harry's arm. Ginny turned slowly, her eyes narrowed dangerously. "Harry's my godfather. I'm staring with him."
"Fine." Ginny snapped once again. "Then pack for Lily."
"I'm not letting you take my kids, Ginny." Harry said softly, watching James and Albus slowly make their way further into the room.
"They aren't staying here!" Ginny screamed.
"We aren't leaving dad, mom." James said. Albus stepped behind James, as though seeking protection, but there was a determined look on his face.
"James you will do what I say." Ginny screamed, turning on her son.
Harry moved instantly, his eyes narrowed. "Ginny, if you want to leave, then leave. But the kids are staying with me."
Ginny's eyes darted from Harry, to the kids, and back again. Finally, she let out a scream and stomped back up the stairs.
Harry was left staring at the boys. Lily had her head buried on Teddy's chest. "I think we need to talk." He said slowly.

"Grandma and Grandpa?" Albus asked, a frown on his face.
Harry let out a deep sigh. Ginny had left about half an hour before- not without a lot of yelling and threats, but she had finally left. Harry had then explained to the eleven, seven, five, and one year old the best that he could.
"Yes, Albus. My parents."
Albus nodded, his emerald green eyes calculating. Harry knew his son was extremely bright for his age and wished he knew what he was thinking. James had his eyes narrowed, but he wasnt staring at Harry. His eyes were firmly on Teddy. Harry turned to look at his godson, only to see a huge smile on his face. Harry gave him a small smile and chuckled when Teddy blushed.
Harry turned back to James. "Everything okay, James?"
James turned his eyes to his father. "If Teddy's dad is coming back, does that mean Teddy wont live with us anymore?"
The smile slowly slid off of Teddy's face at his god brothers words. "Harry?" He asked uncertainly.
Harry sighed. "Teddy, I'm sure that one day you will want to live with your dad. But I'm sure Remus wouldnt mind you two staying here for awhile."
Teddy still had a slight frown on his face. "Teddy." Harry said softly, "It doesnt matter where you live, you'll always be part of this family."
Teddy nodded. "So Tom will live here?" Albus asked, his eyes sill bright. Harry nodded. "Okay." Albus said, his eyes moving to stare at the table.
Harry kept his eyes on Albus, trying to figure out exactly what that meant.
He didn't get a chance to ask as the floo came to life. Harry stood as a tall man came through, his face matching his hair. "What the blood hell-"
"Teddy, please take everyone upstairs." Harry said loudly as he kept his eyes on his furious friend.
Teddy stood instantly, picking Lily up and following his god brothers to the stairs. Ron's eyes slowly followed them and as soon as they were out of sight he exploded.
"You kicked my sister out? Are you mad? And the kids-"
"Ron, why dont you sit down and let me explain?" Harry said loudly, keeping a firm grip on his temper. "Did Ginny tell you about Death? About the fact my parents, Sirius, and Remus are going to live again?"
Ron stared, his mouth hanging open. "Take a seat, Ron."
:::::::::::::::::::::::""""""""""""""""""LKJHGFDFGHJKLKJHGF""""""""""""":::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Tom Riddle? As in Voldemort? That Tom Riddle?" Ron exploded for about the fifth time.
"It isn't up to you, Ron?" Harry snapped.
"Harry, have you thought about this? How are you supposed to raisehim all by yourself?"
"I wont be by myself." Harry said instantly. "My parents, Remus, Siriusand, hopefully, you and Hermione."
Ron stood instantly, shaking his head. "No. No Harry. I'm not going to put my kids in danger." He started toward the fireplace, still shaking his head. The next moment he was gone.
Harry stared after Ron, his jaw clenched.
"Harry?"
Harry turned, his eyes landing on Teddy once again. "What's up, Teddy?"
Teddy moved forward, holding out his hand. Harry stepped forward, taking the parchment. "This came for you while Ron was here."
"Thanks, Teddy."
Teddy gave his godfather a small, worried smile, then turned back toward the stairs.
Harry slowly opened the letter.
Potter,
Please contact me as soon as you talk to Mrs. Potter.
DM
Harry felt his eyebrows raise at the short, formal letter. Then he rolled his eyes.
Malfoy,
No need to be so formal. I told Ginny and she tried to kick my out. I informed her that it was my house and she left. All the kids are with me- though Ginny promised me that they wouldnt be for long. Ron just left, and he's not very happy with me at the moment.
As soon as the papers are ready, I'll sign.
Harry

The morning Death was supposed to come, Harry had all of the kids upstairs in Teddy's room. "Stay in here until I say you can come out."
Teddy nodded, bighting his lip nervously as he shifter Lily on his lap. "Will- will it be today?" He whispered.
Harry sighed slowly, "I dont know, Teddy."
Teddy merely nodded, then buried his face in Lily's hair. Harry hugged James and Albus, then slowly walked out of the bedroom and into the living room.
He didnt have to wait long. It was the same as the last time, the black mist floating about the room until a figure of a man stood there. "Made up your mind?" Death asked, his eyes fixed on Harry impatiently.
"I'll take the deal." Harry told him instantly, standing from the chair he had been lounging in.
Death smiled and Harry had to fight back the shiver that wanted to crawl up his spine. "Excellent." His smile slowly turned into a smirk. "Enjoy your family, Potter."
Death disappeared with a loud crack, and Harry looked around expectantly. Nothing. Harry let out a sigh. Maybe it would be the next day. Or maybe-
Harry's thoughts cut off as a loud boom echoed throughout the room. Harry looked around instantly, his wand in his hand. Then the floor started to shake.
Then he didnt see anything else as everything went black.
:::::::::::""""""""""""""""""LKJHGFGHJKLKJHG"""""""""""""::::::::::::::::::
"Harry- Harry!" Someone said, nudging Harry in the ribs. "Harry!"
Harry groaned, pushing the hand away. "Teddy? What's going on?"
"Wake up!" Teddy whispered. "Harry, you have to get up!"
Harry groaned, then sat up an looked at his godson. "Teddy, what is it?"
Teddy stared at Harry with wide, terrified eyes, then pointed to something behind Harry. Harry turned his head and froze as he met five pairs of eyes.
"Hey pup."
