"Dada I don' wanna go!" Teddy cried tearfully as he clung to Harry's leg outside the primary school Dean Thomas and other Muggle -born or -raised had set up in the four years after the war, so that they could get a good start in school, without having to worry about labels like 'freak' or 'weirdo' from other kids if their magic went off accidentally. With glowing support from Minerva McGonagall, Hermione, Harry and many others, it was an instant success. They now had their own copy of the Hogwarts intake book, and with the Ministry's blessing, visited the homes of muggleborns around their third birthday, and explained the magical world to them, hoping to save the child endless bullying, medical tests and psychological problems. This did not however, stop the kids from feeling the natural panic of having to leave their parents and go to school for the first time, as Teddy was displaying.
"Teddy." Harry said as he crouched down, "Teddy, look at me." Wide, tear streaked eyes met his. "Now, you know you need to go to school, and you know it's also just for the mornings for now, like spending time with Granny Weasley when I have to do something and Grandma and Uncle George are at work. Are you still wearing your necklace I made you?" Harry had found a beautiful bit of blue sea glass on the beach one day, and had spent a year laying every protection spell and ward he could into it, including technically illegal blood magic, and anything else he could think of, before giving it to Teddy. He hadn't yet told him what it did, knowing this might happen. Teddy nodded and pulled out the cord to show him. "This necklace will protect you if anything happens, ok? It won't stop you getting hurt if you have an accident, because if it did, you wouldn't learn, but it will protect you from anything big, and tell me if you're in danger, because I connected it to my necklace." He pulled out his own piece of green glass. "Even if you can't see me Teddy, I'm always with you, in here," he held Teddy's necklace, "and in here," he put a hand over Teddy's heart.
"Like Mummy and Daddy?" Teddy asked quietly.
"Just like Mummy and Daddy," Harry smiled, "and Uncle George and Cousin Draco and everyone else who loves you. So, go in, have fun, learn all you can, and if the other kids bug you to do something you know is wrong, you're allowed to say no. Alright, give me a hug, and I'll see you at lunchtime." Teddy did, and walked into the school much more confident, for he had his whole family with him in his heart, and his Dada Harry in his special necklace.
