Chapter Eight: Teddy's birthday, Old Memories and a New Weasley
The news that Harry was the new D.A.D.A teacher spread throughout the family immediately and was met with a lot of hugs and smiles. "Wonderful news Harry, I mean PROFESSOR!" Hermione said hugging him tight. He was happy to see her as her work in the Ministry was keeping her busy and they didn't hang around as much. "Well I guess me and Fred failed in our attempts to make a great prank artist out of you." George said fake crying; he was joking and using Fred in jokes an indication that he was healing. "Well I guess I have a new reason to celebrate; first Fleur being pregnant then George getting married and now my soon to be son becoming a Hogwarts Professor before the age of twenty it is quite an achievement Harry you should be proud not many people can say that." Molly said crushing him with a hug.
The next day Harry went to Diagon Alley and purchased every book on D.A.D.A teaching and studying that he could find as he wanted to be set for all challenges ahead of him. He then purchased a new Owl who he named Ignotus after his ancestor. He then went about purchasing a rare item; a tamed Dementor, a wizard from Germany learned a spell to tame them and Harry bought one for his classes.
"HARRY POTTER! YOU BOUGHT A FUCKING DEMENTOR!" Ginny shouted at him.
"For teaching purposes, it's tamed, relax Gin." He said smiling and trying not to laugh.
"TAMED, have you heard of a tamed Dementor?" She asked looking pissed off.
"A wizard from Germany designed a spell. It only works on new born's and domesticates them in one spell." Harry said explaining his plans for it.
The argument lasted a few minutes and ended when Harry mentioned the Dementor would be kept in a controlled area of Hogwarts and will not feed on students memories.
The next day was Teddy's first birthday party; Harry had bought a mini Firebolt for him, Ginny had gotten a special designed wand that produced a lullaby when waved, Molly had knitted a lovely quilt and bought fine mini dress robes, Andromeda had bought him a whole wardrobe of new clothes and pyjamas, Ron and Hermione had bought him a little Hippogriff toy that he could fly on a small bit, George had bought a special chain that would expand with his age Bill had given him an earring for when he wanted it, Charlie sent over a dragon heartstring for Teddy's wand when he turns eleven and Percy had given him a set of lovely goblets with Harry Ginny and Teddy's names on them and a few blank ones for future children they might have.
The party was filled with laughs and photos of the small family and an unexpected joy when Teddy said "Dada!" which made Harry cry tears of joy and hug his son tightly. After a few hours of fun and games the night wound down and Teddy surprised them all by saying "Mama, Ron, Granny and to Hermione's surprise her name." they loved it and bribed the baby with sweets for the names again and again.
"He's a little genius Gin. Isn't he?" Harry said in his bed with Ginny the room was decorated with different posters of the Holyhead Harpies and a signed poster of the Weird Sisters Harry received in the post from them for his defeat of Voldemort.
"Yeah he is. Shame his dad isn't." Ginny said laughing at Harry's face and kissing him gently on the lips.
"Hey! Don't forget who defeated Riddle and won the heart of the most beautiful woman in the world." He said rubbing her back and kissing her neck.
"Well I didn't know you and Fleur were in love." Ginny said jokingly to Harry while moaning gently, she loved when Harry was attentive and caring to her as she was suffering it was nearly the anniversary of the battle and tension was high; Molly was crying no one had seen George before the party for a week or so and as for Ginny she kept her emotions bottled in and was stressed out too much.
"Ginny, you need some attention." Harry said taking her hand and leading her to the bathroom and filled the beautiful tub with water and bubbles and slowly undressed her and placed her into the bath the water felt great against her body. "You're the best babe." She said as he slowly started washing her body, his hands massaging every inch of her skin and making sure she was relaxed as he began washing her hair and kissing her neck, he wanted her to relax the pain of Fred's death was recurring in her dreams and Harry could only watch as she tried to keep it all in the pain was killing her and hurting him worse than all the scars and breaks he received through the years.
"Babe, are you alright?" He asked looking concerned for his Fiancée she flinched a bit.
"No Harry I'm not, I miss him a lot. He was always there for me and I never told anyone this but we fought before the battle and I never got to say sorry." Ginny said crying her eyes becoming red and bloodshot.
"He knew you were sorry Ginny, Fred never held a grudge it wasn't his nature. He loved you and you loved him and that will never change for not even death can stop love." Harry said lifting her and drying her off he then dressed he and began brushing her hair while she sobbed.
"I love you so much." She said turning around and looking in his eyes. "You were always in my dreams you know that Harry." She lay down in his lap her head resting gently on his thighs.
"I know Ginny, every night when I was on the run I took the Marauder's Map and watched you, just to know you were safe it gave me joy and hope." Harry said stroking her hair and lying on the bed she moved her head to his chest and snuggled her head in it.
"Teddy is really growing up now isn't he?" She said looking at a picture of him as a baby in her arms.
"Yeah next thing we know he'll be in Hogwarts." Harry said rubbing Ginny's arm softly with his hand.
"I hope so he would love it there." Ginny said nestling around Harry's chest she was making herself comfortable.
"Well we did, I mean I know I did." Harry said he knew Ginny had a hard first year and sixth year.
"I did as well minus my first year and sixth year of course." Ginny said she was rubbing Harry's scar filled chest. "I've been thinking; we should get married before school starts."
Harry's heart sank, he wanted to get married soon but he wanted to find out more about his parents more first practically his father. "Sounds like a good idea Gin."
The next two weeks were spent planning certain things like who would sit where, Harry didn't mind that his section was going to be the Hogwarts teachers and neighbours while Ginny's was all family and a lot of her friends and a few of Harry's who she wanted on her side. Then the suit came up, Ginny wanted Harry, her dad and brothers to wear tuxedos instead of dress robes the only exception being Teddy who would wear his dress robes. Finally the hardest thing; the birth cert, Teddy's birth cert had been leaked with a file saying Ginny was not the mother.
"Harry, what are we supposed to do?" Ginny asked looking terrified at the thought of losing Teddy because of fraud and costing Kingsley his job.
"Kingsley has it sorted Gin, we will go to St. Mungo's for you to have a test which will tell if you have ever had sex and since we have a few times you will be fine." Harry said going a small bit red over the discussion.
"But, what about a paternity test?"
"Magical adoption is special; since we adopted Teddy he has our blood in his veins."
"Really, is it that simple?"
"It's a security measure Fudge introduced it in '90, that's why Tonks picked us." Harry said looking at his true love worried always made him sad.
The anniversary went off with no Death Eater's or dark threats just families mourning their unfortunate and some said unneeded losses, Harry had commissioned for two headstones near his parents and Tonks and Lupin's graves; one for Sirius and one for Peter Pettigrew. Fleur shocked everyone by entering into labour a week early and gave birth to Victorie Weasley the second Grandchild in their eyes being Teddy's first cousin of many.
