AN: Hello again so as much as it pains me to say this yet again I DO NOT own Harry Potter :(
Beep Beep Beep was the noise Harry woke up to the next morning. It was eight and Harry had to get up to be ready for the day. With that thought in mind Harry got out of bed and got dressed. Harry knew that he only had about half an hour before Teddy was awake so Harry jumped into the shower and got ready for the day ahead of him.
Harry had just come out of his closet dressed for the day and drying his hair with a towel when a blur of red came at his legs.
"Good morning Ted" Harry said as he picked up a yawning Teddy.
"Morn dada" Teddy said now rubbing his eyes to get the sleep out of them.
"Do you know who is coming today?" Harry questioned.
"Mama!" Teddy said looking so happy at the thought of 'mama' coming over again.
"Yes, her and…" Harry said blowing raspberries on Teddy's tummy. "Aunt Hermione"
"Aunt Mione, Aunt Mione" Teddy started to chant as Harry brought him downstairs for breakfast.
"Now, what do you want for breakfast Ted?" Harry questioned. When all Harry got was "ice cream" he decided to ask Mary for something.
"Mary do you mind making me some eggs and toast and my coffee and could you get Teddy some juice and a bowl of cereal" Harry asked the house elf, Mary, who was wearing a red and black dress with the potter family crest on it.
After breakfast Harry picked Teddy up to get him ready for today.
Harry first gave Teddy a bath where Harry only had to change his shirt, which means it was a good bath.
As Harry changed his shirt Teddy brushed his teeth saying, "I'm big boy. I can brush teef by myself".
It only took around 45 minutes to get Teddy dressed because today he didn't want to wear pants.
By 11 Teddy and Harry were in the sitting room. Teddy was playing with his blocks and Harry was talking to Sock who had just brought him his mail.
"Can you bring make sure Ron Weasley in programmed into the wards and can you bring both him and Ginny here when they get here." Harry asked Sock.
"Of course, Master Harry" Sock said
"Thanks" Harry said with a smile.
At 11:30 Ginny had flooed into Potter manor, where she was greeted by a house elf. "I is Sock Miss Ginny. Master Harry wants me to take him to you."
"Thank you Sock." Ginny said to the old house elf. It took about three minutes for Ginny to get to the sitting room.
What she saw once she got there made her burst into laughter. Teddy somehow got his broom, that was in his room last night, and was flying all around the room crashing into everything.
Harry was running behind Teddy trying to get him to stop while mending all the things he broke. Ginny realizing Harry needed some help let her presents be known.
"Teddy Bear what do you think you are doing?" Ginny said with her hands on her hips and a slight smile on her lips.
As soon as Ginny spoke both Harry and Teddy froze. But that didn't last long. After Teddy realized who it was screamed, "Mama, mama, up, up!"
He said as he got off his broom and ran to Ginny with his hands up and a huge smile on his face. After Teddy got off his broom Harry quickly fixed everything and put Teddy's broom away so he couldn't reach it.
After everything was done Harry turned to Ginny, "Thanks Gin, he knows he shouldn't be on his broom in the house."
"But he does it anyway" Ginny guessed.
"Ya" Harry said running his hand through his hair.
"Mama Teddy miss you" Teddy said with both is hands on either side of Ginny's face.
"Aww, Teddy Bear I missed you too" Ginny said kissing Teddy's forehead.
"Have you had lunch yet sweetie" Ginny said to Teddy.
"No" said Teddy with a shake of his head. At this Ginny gave Harry a look that asked why he hasn't been feed yet.
"We were going to eat in a bit" Harry said in his defense.
"Sure you were. Now Harry which way is it to the kitchen" Ginny said after she realized that she wouldn't be able to find her way there yet.
"Come on" Harry said with a roll of his eyes.
Fifteen minutes later Ginny Harry and Teddy were seated around the table. Mary had made enough sandwiches to feed an army but other than that it was fine. Teddy was telling Ginny about the picture he made yesterday when was being babysat when Sock appeared with Ron in tow.
Ron had an awestruck look as he walked in the kitchen. "That was my reaction too" Ginny said.
Ron's head turned toward them and what he saw made he stop again. Ginny and Harry were sitting across from each other with a baby he assumed was Teddy. Teddy had Harry's hair but Ginny's eyes and nose. The way they were sitting around the table made it seem like they had always been a family.
Ron shook himself out of his daze, "You guys look good together, are those sandwiches?" Ron said taking a bite of the sandwich.
"This must be Teddy" Ron said.
"I'm your Uncle Ron," he said pointing to himself.
Teddy looked at him then said, "Unkey Ron, Unkey Ron" in a high pitched voice. Harry and Ginny looked at each other and started laughing at Ron's face. Ron's jaw was hanging open.
I don't think he's been called that before Harry thought. After finishing has sandwich Ron pick Teddy up then started to make to seem like he was commentating a quidditch match.
"And Teddy spots the snitch he dives for it. Cuts through the chasers and he get the snitch! The Cannons win. It looks like Teddy has taken up his godfathers shoes as winning it for the Cannons." Ron said while Teddy screamed delighted to be flying.
"I'm not going to play for the Cannon's Ron." Harry said shaking his head.
"Aw come on Harry the Cannon's would have a really good chance if you played." Ron begged.
Ginny, sensing an hour-long conversation spoke up, "Ron why don't you give me my Teddy Bear. And you and Harry can go play some quidditch."
Ron looked at Harry, who gave a slight nod of the head, then said, "Fine alright you can have my little man back."
"Mama, mama, fly!" Ron who almost dropped Teddy at the word mama handed him to Ginny.
"How is mama's Teddy Bear? Was Uncle Ron fun," Ginny said cooing at Teddy.
Ron looked at Harry and mouthed the word mama to him. "He calls Gin mama" Harry said with a shrug.
"Now are you ready for me to kick your arse." Harry said with a laugh.
"Who do you think you are a professional? I think not," Ron said laughing.
And with that Harry showed Ron and Ginny the quidditch pitch in the backyard. For the next three hours Ron and Harry played an intense game of quidditch. By the end both Ron and Harry had their shirts off and were covered in sweat. As Ron walked a little ahead of Harry, Ginny and Teddy he got to the door first.
Crash as he was walking in the door the crashed into someone.
"God Harry watch where." Started Hermione but when she looked up she saw a shirtless man who was not Harry.
"You're not Harry" Hermione said quickly backing away slightly so she could see who she was looking at.
No this was definitely not Harry this man had red hair, ocean blue eyes, and wash broad abs if I do say so myself, Hermione thought.
"No I'm not Harry I'm Ron his soon to be brother-in-law." Said this Ron
"Oh, well I'm Hermione Gan-" but the rest of the sentence died in her throat as she realized what he said.
"What do you mean soon to be brother-in-law?" Hermione questioned.
"Where have you been under a rock? Harry in engaged to my sister Ginny Weasley." Ron said in a slow voice like I was slow or something.
Hermione opened her mouth to tell Ron that she was not a dumb person when she heard, "Hermione! I didn't realize that when you said four you meant four." Harry said giving her a hug.
"Do you want to know what I didn't realize?" Hermione said, but she continued before he had a chance to reply.
"That you are ENGAGED. DID YOU NOT THINK THAT I WOULDN'T WANT TO KNOW? I'M GONE ONE WEEK HARRY ONE WEEK, AND IN THAT TIME YOU DECIDE TO GET ENGAGED"
Hermione took a breath and was about to start up again when Harry cut in again, "Hermione this is Ginny," Ginny who had been standing behind Harry came out to shake Hermione's hand.
That is when Hermione saw Teddy. Harry was letting Teddy be held by this girl without a second thought. And if that wasn't enough to convince Hermione that Ginny was a good person Teddy decided to speak up.
"Mama, mama, it Aunt Mione, Aunt Mione" Hermione was beyond shocked Teddy was calling this Ginny girl mama. That sold it for Hermione she figured that Ginny had to have been a really nice person if one she was allowed in here, two was allowed to hold Teddy without Harry worrying, and three Teddy called her Mama with upsetting Harry.
"It's nice to meet you Ginny." Hermione said.
"Welcome to the family" she added as an afterthought.
"Wait. You haven't even spoken to me yet how do you know that I'm not some gold digger. Which I'm not," Ginny said at Harry's raised eyebrow.
"Well I know you must be a really great person if first you are allowed in this house. Harry normally takes people he isn't fully comfortable with to one of his flats saying that is where he lives" At this Ron looked to Ginny and mouthed flats.
"Next is he is letting you take care of Teddy. He never lets anyone take care of Teddy without precautions. Teddy's first nanny took care of Teddy with Harry in the same room as them for the first month. That was why she quit." Hermione said with a laugh.
"Harry must have trusted you a lot because Harry never gets that sweaty unless he has been playing quidditch for a few hours." She said looking over at Harry who had his shirt off and was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
"Which means you were on the ground watching Teddy" Hermione said firmly.
"Right speaking of sweat I need to have a shower; Ron do you want me to show you to a room where you can shower and put on some clean clothes." Harry said.
"Really thanks mate that would be great. But I don't have any clothes." Ron told Harry.
"Oh, don't worry about that I'll get Binny to go find you some clothes that fit" Harry said waving it off.
"Harry, how many times am I going to have to tell you? Stop using your elves when you are perfectly capable of doing it yourself." Hermione said.
"If he has the house elves why wouldn't he use them?" Ron questioned Hermione.
Hermione didn't expect Ron to say anything so it took her a bit longer than normal to reply.
"They are creatures not slaves." Hermione said turning to face Ron.
"Ya, creatures who like work," Ron argued back.
"Just because the like to work doesn't mean they should be abused." Hermione said with her voice getting louder and her face was flushed.
"But Harry doesn't abuse them. They would be upset if they didn't get work." Ron said getting madder and louder as well.
"That is because they don't know the difference. Because they have been ABUSED FOR YEARS." Hermione yelled harshly.
"They know the difference and they don't want people like you TELLING THEM THAT THEIR WAY OF LIFE IS WRONG." Ron shouted, his face getting redder and redder.
"HOW DARE YOU! I'M HELPING THEM," Hermione shouted.
"Ya, you're helping them. WITH SOMETHING THEY DON'T NEED HELP WITH!" Ron shouted.
Hermione opened her mouth to yell something back and from the look on her face it was nothing little ears should be hearing so at that point Ginny cut in.
"The next words of your mouth better not be what I think there are. Because if there are you had better not let my Teddy Bear hear them." Ginny said in a deadly voice.
Hermione looked at Ginny wondering if she would really go through with anything if she did say what she wanted to. One look at Ginny's face though and everyone knew she meant business. Hermione instead settled for letting out a frustrated scream.
"This is why the house elves can't get better conditions, it's because of people like you" Hermione said and walked away. Ron, never one to let an argument go, followed after her.
"I have never seen Hermione get so worked up in such a short period of time" Harry said still shocked.
"Well Ron is pretty easy to get worked up. I was really enjoying the whole thing until that look Hermione got on her face." Ginny said shaking her head and resting Teddy on her hip.
"If Hermione said something to Ron he would have started swearing and I don't want Teddy to learn any of those words." Ginny finished.
"Guess you're right. Imagine the papers if someone hear a three year old swear. They would go on about how I must have been a terrible father if Ted had a mouth like that." Harry said with a laugh.
"Did you have fun watching dada play quidditch" Harry said taking Teddy from Ginny when he started to reach out for him.
"Dada you fly fast. Mama and Teddy play wif a ball like you" Teddy said giving Harry a big toothy grin.
"Sounds like fun. Now how about we find your Aunt Hermione and Uncle Ron and then I can go have a quick shower before we go out for dinner."
"You're going out to dinner?" Ginny questioned surprised.
"Well whenever one of us goes out for a trip we go out for dinner the night they come home. Normally we go to a muggle restaurant because I didn't want the Prophet and others to find out about Teddy but I think it is time about I did. I don't want Teddy to think the reason I haven't introduce him to the Wizarding population is because I am ashamed of him or anything like that." Harry said.
"Well in that case I can watch Teddy as you and Hermione get ready to go and Ron showers then Ron and I will leave." Ginny said firmly.
"What?" Harry questioned surprised.
"When I said we I was including you and Ron" Harry told Ginny as she put Teddy down on the ground because he wanted to walk by himself.
"I… Harry you don't have to do that." Ginny said.
"Of course I do besides I made a reservation at the Magic Castle for 7:30." At the name of the restaurant Ginny gasped.
The Magic Castle was the best restaurant in the Wizarding world. It was also the most expensive one. Ginny knew that her parents who have to save for over a month to be able to order a pizza and salad.
"I cannot afford that kind of place. And I didn't think that they let children in." Ginny added as an afterthought.
"Don't worry about paying. I invited you so I will be paying and they would never say no to the Harry Potter." Harry said frowning slightly at the last part. Harry hated that everyone bent rules for him just because he was famous.
"Besides I wanted to go to a really fancy restaurant because I knew that reporters would be there. Remember I want to introduce Teddy to the Wizarding world."
"But I don't have anything to wear to that kind of a restaurant. And neither does Ron" Ginny cut in.
"Don't worry. I told you Binny would get some clothes for Ron and you. This house came with a very nice wardrobe." Harry said with a smirk.
Harry, Ginny and Teddy finally found Ron and Hermione in the kitchen. Ron was eating something Mary had made for him and Hermione was reading the paper. Both Ron and Hermione were not looking or talking to each other. Except for the fact that both of them were sneaking glances at each other when they thought no one was looking.
Teddy thinking it was to quiet ran up to Ron screaming, "Unkey Ron, Unkey Ron. Teddy wants to fly. Fly." Ron laughing picked Teddy up and started to make Teddy fly.
"Well if you guys are done fighting we have to go get ready" Harry said.
"Ready?" Ron asked but before Harry could answer Hermione spoke up.
"Oh, good where are we going I haven't had a good Salmon in awhile we should go to-" But Harry cut her off.
"All of us including Ron, and Ginny are going to the Magic Castle" At the name of the restaurant Ron choked on his sandwich, and Hermione spat out the tea she was drinking.
"Magic… magic castle," Ron gasped.
"But Harry that place is magical everyone will know about Teddy." Hermione said her eyes open in shock.
"I know it is magical and that is why I want everyone to know about Teddy" Harry said firmly.
"Listen mate I don't think I can afford that place." Ron said weakly.
"Gin said the same thing. Not to worry I am paying for you" Harry said slowly.
"Mate do you know how much they charge at that place," Ron asked hesitantly.
"Yes I know and I already booked a table. Now Binny," Harry called.
"Master Harry called Binny. What can Binny do for Master Harry?" Said a small house elf.
"Binny if it is not too much trouble; can you please set up a suite for Ron, the one across from Hermione, and get him a very nice suite please."
"And for Ginny sir," Binny asked but Hermione answered.
"Ginny won't need a suite she will be in Harry's room but could you please bring her an evening gown and just leave it on Harry's bed along with his suit. And can you please lay out my dark purple gown." Hermione said.
"Yes sir and miss," Binny said and disappeared with a pop.
"Well thanks for that Hermione so Gin," Harry turned to look at Ginny.
"Do you mind if you watch Teddy for a bit while I get dressed then you can get ready and I'll dress Teddy"
"That's fine. Teddy bear lets go up to your room to play." Ginny said holding a hand out for Teddy and after taking her hand Teddy lead Ginny to his room.
"Come on Ron I'll show you to the suite." Harry said.
"Are you coming Hermione" Ron asked.
"I'll be up and about half an hour to help Ginny, if she needs any help with Teddy" Hermione told them both.
"So how big is this place? I mean I have only seen the first floor and it is really nice." Ron said looking around.
"Ya the first floor is really fancy kind of over the top if you ask me. But the second, third, and forth are more comfy feeling." Harry said.
"There are for floors?" Ron questioned staring at Harry.
"Ya and the upper floors are for family and friends only." Harry told Ron.
"So does Hermione live with you and Teddy?"
"Ya this place is way too big for just me and Teddy" Harry answered before he stopped in front of a white door.
"Here we are. This is where you will be staying if you come over." Harry said with a hand gesture.
All Ron could do was look around the room in awe. It was huge. It was about the same size as the flat he shared with three other guys. The walls were painted a green but not a dark green, it was light. The ceiling and trim was white and the bed was huge it was a King sized bed with a cherry bedpost and dark red sheets and tons of pillows. There was a desk in the corner. A wardrobe that was cherry to match the desk and bed, there were two large a black comfy chairs in the close to the other corner which had a table in the middle of the two chairs. There was a carpet that covered the hardwood. It was very nice and on the bed there was a suit that looked very expensive.
So expensive in fact that Ron started to protest. "Harry mate are you sure you want me to wear that it looks like it cost a lot I don't want to get it dirty."
But Harry shook his head and told Ron, "We are going to be family soon and families do nice things for members of their family. I want you to have it. Besides I have more than enough suits and if I really need more I can go buy one." Harry said trying to persuade Ron into taking the suit.
"No Harry I can't." Ron tried.
"Yes you can Ron." Harry said cutting Ron off.
"The washroom is on your right." Harry said pointing to a door in the room.
"And be ready for 7:00."
"Why 7? It will only take us a few seconds to get there by floo." Ron said. "Oh, I know but we are going to go in style. This is my Godson's first public outing in the Wizarding World I want it to be something to remember." At Ron's questioning look Harry explained.
"The Magic Castle has a red carpet that celebrities walk down and there are reporters everywhere. You can floo in if you want to but the whole point of the Magic Castle is to get noticed and that is what I want." Harry said.
"Why don't you just walk down a street with Teddy?" Ron asked.
"Cause you can speak with the reporters. If I just walked down the street then they might make up some story and I don't want that." Harry said firmly.
"Right well thinks mate I'm going to go have a shower then get dressed see you in 15 minutes." Ron said as he walked into the washroom.
AN:First i want to say is this more readable for you? If more people prefer it like this i will see if I will spend my time doing it. Second is, I have to say that i am very surprised that so many people have read my story. I want to thank everyone who has given me tips, and trust me you will see them used a lot more in the next couple of chapters. I also want to answer a question about Ron. Ron was still in Harry and Hermione's year and both of them know of him but what i am saying is that there were three more boys so Ron was in another room, and became friends with his new dorm mates. Again i hope you guys like everything i have planned for this story. And i would love to get so more reviews if you have a chance. PS I'll update as fast as i can.
love lovely42
