As Sblck pointed out in a review, I didn't make the four calls very clear, so here they are.
The Black's Call - from Harry's grandmother Dorea and from Sirius after the ritual.
The call from Will Turner as Lord of the Sea,
The call from Will Turner as the pirate son of a pirate,
And lastly, the call to Will as Harry's last direct kin, ie not an aunt or cousin related to him via someone else in the tree, just straight parent-to-child.
From now on until Teddy's older, chapters will be quite short, just snippets into their lives as he grows, so with that in mind, weigh anchor!
"Hello Teddy, what're you up to cub?" Harry said as he picked up the smiling toddler to change and dress him.
After a month, they finally found a house and had moved and settled in to the modest four bedroom place on the south coast of Cornwall. Being a wizarding house, both it and the grounds were hidden from muggles, so today for the first time, Harry could take Teddy to the beach without having to hide as much of the metamorphmagus as possible under hats and scarves from prying muggle eyes.
As Harry finished dressing Teddy, the little one grabbed his glasses and started to chew on them.
"Come on then little monster," he said laughingly, picking the baby up again, "let's go get you some breakfast, and send Aunty Mione her big thank you present for finally finding something to fix my eyes hmm?" Hermione, in her need for a project after finding her parents, getting a house, decorating and moving into said house and taking her N.E.W.T's (scoring Outstanding on just about everything) all within a year, turned her attention to fixing Harry's eyesight, or at least giving him a better option than his glasses. She had pulled through brilliantly, and had sent him a potion that once drunk, would move through his optical system, moving, fixing or growing any nerves or tissues required to give him perfect vision, and then enhance it as much as his body could take without leaving him overly sensitive to light or dark. That had been a week ago, but Harry still wore his old frames with plain Perspex in, because it upset Teddy otherwise.
Having reached the kitchen, Harry put Teddy into his highchair and was about to help Andromeda with breakfast, when he was stopped cold by one word from the little boy.
"Dada!"
Panicked, Harry shot a glance at Andromeda, who had shut her eyes in pain, but quickly opened them, and gave him a weak smile and a nod. Feeling a little better, Harry quickly turned to Teddy, who was impatiently tugging on the hand he'd grabbed as he spoke.
"What is it little man?"
"G'asses!" Teddy said as he thrust Harry's soggy frames in the air. Harry laughed, and practiced his wandless scourgify as he spoke.
"Thanks Teddy. Now, lets get you some food, and then we'll have a chat about your mum and your real Daddy, eh?"
"'Ummy Daddy!" Was the happy high-pitched reply.
Cleaning up after breakfast, Andromeda quietly watched on as Harry got out the photo album he had specially made by hand, and then charmed and enchanted to be impervious to just about anything, so Teddy could smack and grab and chew it and Andromeda didn't have to worry about losing the photographs inside.
"Who's that Teddy?" Harry asked, pointing to a picture of Tonks.
"'Ummy!" Teddy cried, as he slapped the picture. Before Harry could tell him to be gentle, Teddy started rattling off names.
"'Ummy (Tonks) Daddy (Remus) Gamma (Andromeda) Dada (Harry) an' Unca (George)!"
Unable to do anything but laugh, Harry said "Ok Teddy, you know all of us and I should shut up and take you to the beach, yeah?"
"Beesh!"
She had to smile as the two left to get towels and swimming clothes. She could never stop Teddy calling Harry 'Dada', and nor would she, for he was a fine man, and would never let Teddy forget his parents or ever try to replace them.
