54. Magic

Teddy perked when the chime to his father's room rang looking up from his book curiously. He listened to the swish of the door, smiling as he smelt and heard Jim and Spock step inside greeting Harry. Jumping up still clutching his magical text in hand, Teddy hurried through the joined bathroom to Harry's room crying out, "Father! Papa!"

Jim grinned as he lifted Teddy up ignoring Spock's amused gaze and Harry's embarrassed flush, the wizard having attempted on more than one occasion to break his son's habit. But the young boy was stubborn much like his mother and eventually Harry gave up knowing there were just some battles he couldn't win. Didn't mean he wasn't embarrassed over it, after all he had been dating Spock and Jim for only a handful of months now.

Yet despite the fact that it seemed a little hasty for Teddy to call Jim and Spock by parental names, the blond captain didn't mind understanding a child's need to have a family. He had been the same way as a kid although he would have rather cut off his own tongue than call his stepfather Frank "dad". Perhaps the closest father figure Jim had was Admiral Pike. And Jim knew for a fact that it didn't bother Spock, feeling the faint traces of amusement and contentment trickle through their bond.

"I wonder what bonding with Harry would feel like," Jim mentally pondered.

"Perhaps we will know one day T'hy'la, but for now we were still in the stages of courting him," Spock reminded. Humming thoughtfully Jim finally seemed to notice the book Teddy was holding as he quickly questioned, "What'cha reading kiddo?"

Teddy held out the book, "It's a book of basic spells! Dad says I'm old enough to start learning."

Raising an eyebrow Spock inquired, "You explained than when you entered our time you only retained a few valuables which you presented to us. And yet now you have acquired magical textbooks despite the fact that you expressed your belief that very few of your kind still exist. How was this possible?"

"Magic gave them to us was my guess. Teddy woke me up saying that he found a whole pile of books on magic and spells sitting at the foot of his bed, books that weren't there the night before. He had thought I put them there but I didn't possess any spell books so I inspected them. Turned out they were books that I studied when I was at Hogwarts and figured it was Magic's way of letting me know it was time for Teddy to learn," Harry explained. Jim frowned, "Does it do that often? Magic I mean?"

"Sometimes she'll provide something we might need that we wouldn't get anywhere else and she'll even talk to us, but these events are very rare. It's only when we truly need it," Harry replied.

"So that's all he's been doing all day, reading?"

"Yup!"

"I find his thirst for knowledge and his eagerness to learn control over his talents to be refreshing," Spock input, "If what you explained on the concept of wandless magic being a difficult art to learn, it is invaluable that Teddy begins his lessons at a young age."

"Yeah, I agree and it'll be easier for him than it was for me. Magical children are known to have accidental magic, meaning their magic reacts to their intense emotions. A fine example would be accidentally apparating onto a roof top or unleashing a lethal snake in a zoo," Harry said.

Jim grinned, "Why do I get the feeling that those were the accidents you went through?"

Ignoring his captain Harry continued, "Another reason learning wandless magic will be easier for Teddy is because he's never used a wand before. Wands help utilizing magic easier for wizards, but it ends up becoming a crutch for us. Because wizards who use wands never practice trying to draw their magic out themselves without the use of a conductor, it's more difficult for them."

Spock nodded in understanding, "A logical conclusion."

"I'm gonna learn all kinds of cool spells!" Teddy chirped from his seat on the couch book open in his lap. Chuckling Jim plopped down next to him teasing, "Think so? What kinds?"

"Lots! There's levitating spells and light spells and transfiguring spells and just so many others," Teddy babbled bouncing in his spot, "Dad knows some good ones! Don't you Dad?"

"I can think of a few but nothing too dangerous. Don't want to accidentally punch a hole in the wall now do we?" Harry chuckled. He paused to tap his lip in thought before holding out his hand palm facing up, murmuring, "Lumos!"

A ball of light appeared hovering in his hand about the size of a large marble giving off a steady glow. Quickly Harry dispelled it before waving his hand at a book that was sitting upon his desk, "Wingardium Leviosa."

The pair along with Teddy watched as the book rose from the desk and floated over to the bookshelf where it neatly tucked itself away. Teddy bounced in glee while Jim grinned amused as well as awed. Spock was as equally pleased as his T'hy'la although he didn't outwardly show it. Harry chuckled as he shrugged glad he could make them happy. Leaning back in his seat, Jim sighed, "Man having magic is great. Wish I was a wizard."

"Thank Merlin you don't. You'd drive us all bloody crazy," Harry muttered smirking. Jim shouted indignantly, "What's that suppose to mean?"

"I believe what Harry means to say is that should you ever come into the possession of magical abilities, you would cause chaos among the crew with your attempts at humorous yet childish pranks," Spock stated.

"Hey!" They laughed.

I'm sorry updates have been slow, but the past week has been busy and my attention has been torn between all my other stories. But I'm trying to keep up with this and I do have really good ideas. So please be patient with me and remember to review! Thanks!
