It had been nearly a week since they had started the treatment. Andromeda and Oliver were both at the house as well as George. Draco had come as often as he could. Severus had been unable to get away and Poppy had come that morning. Remus had been shocked when she came the first time. He had known Severus would not tell her unless she could be trusted. He was grateful for her help and that she could be trusted as well. He remembered her help all those years after full moons. He prayed that she and Severus could do something now for Harry, anything at all. He had not felt his helpless since his wife had died and he had faced his son. He survived because Teddy needed him and Harry was there for him.

Poppy came into the bedroom into the morning. Remus was asleep in the chair next to Harry, holding one of his hands. Teddy was sleeping in a bassinette next to the bed. Very rarely could they convince the man to leave Harry's side since this had begun.

Draco came in. "How is he doing?"

Poppy motioned him to be quieter. "I just begun."

Draco saw Remus. "He should go to bed."

Poppy sighed. "Try telling him that."

Draco was about to say something when he noticed. "What is wrong?"

Poppy saw where he looked. "Get your Uncle."

Draco was panicked. "Is something happening?"

Poppy motioned. "Something good I hope."

Draco headed for the floo. "He will find an excuse."

Remus was coming around. "Poppy."

Poppy was at Harry's side. "We may have our wish."

Remus came fully around. "What?"

Severus appeared. "Draco said I needed to come."

Poppy motioned. "Is that what I think?"

Remus worried. "What is it?"

Severus smiled. "The boy who lived seems to have done it again."

The IV which had been in Harry's arm seemed to have reversed. The fluid going into him had started to come out of him. And it was no longer the clear potion that it had been. It was as black as the night sky and had an odd glow to it. Severus could see why Draco had been concerned. But as he and Poppy ran tests, they shared a smile. Harry's vitals were growing stronger, and they could see his health was improving. As the last of the black drained from him, Severus performed one last test. He had told them he couldn't know if it worked until it did.

Oliver and George appeared seeming to know something was happening without being told. George stood with Remus and held him as they watched. They were all praying that Severus was right and this potion would be able to work.

Remus asked. "Did it work?"

Severus took out the needle. "Yes, there is no sign of the curse."

Oliver let out a breath. "Thank Merlin."

George asked. "That means he will be okay?"

Severus nodded. "It does."

Remus looked. "Will he wake soon?"

Poppy was unsure. "He should."

Severus agreed. "He will need to take it easy."

George was relieved. "But he will be here for her."

Oliver added. "And have a chance at a real life."

Poppy nodded. "He will."

Severus looked. "I need to return to school before I am missed."

Remus actually hugged him. "Thank you."

Severus reminded him. "He is Lily's little boy, and yours."

As he left George said. "I never thought I'd be so grateful for him."

Severus had shown more than once how much he could be counted on for Harry. Albus had always believed he had needed to force the man. But for the love of a woman he considered his sister, he never had to. He and Lily and Remus had remained close, even during their spy days. This boy meant the world to Remus and that was part as well. And since the war, he had come to start to care about Harry for himself as well.

The three remained by Harry's bed, even if told it could take some hours for him to wake. Now the potion was out, he should though. None of them wished to miss when he woke. Poppy had to go but Andromeda would be back soon and both she and Severus were on call.

It was after lunch when Remus heard. "He is waking."

George nodded. "Look at his eyes."

Oliver sat on the edge of the bed. "Come on Harry."

Remus sat on the other when he put Teddy down. "Harry?"

Harry slowly came around. "Did it work?"

George nodded. "My niece will have one daddy."

Remus nodded. "I told you, you have too much of your mom in you."

Harry was relieved. "I will see her."

Oliver squeezed his hand. "You will."

Draco had appeared back in the door. "Have to work on a name for her."

Harry was surprised to see him. "You're here?"

Draco shrugged. "My Uncle had to go."

Harry smiled a little. "Hope he doesn't think I will name her Severin."

Remus assured him. "He'd probably suggest you name her for your mother, he loved her."

George suggested. "Or a flower to honor her."

Harry nodded. "And Aunt Petunia."

He never thought he would consider the woman but for a moment he did. He knew he owed his life to her and a chance to see his daughter grow up. He believed what she had said and hoped to mend fences one day. He also knew his maternal grandmother's name had been a flower as well. He was just relieved he had time to choose a name and he would be here to raise her. He hadn't had his parents, his little girl would have one.

Draco said quietly to George. "Seems you may have a nephew Harry. Hermione and Ron have the nerve to want to use the name."

The days that followed Harry slowly was able to get up and move around. He was on the mend but he still needed to ease back into things. Between the baby and being in a coma like state for a week, he needed to be careful. But by the end of the week, he was off his bed rest. He showed more hope than he had since the war. He knew he still needed to deal with Albus but he would be alive to do so. It was no longer about reclaiming his life for his daughter to have it. Now it was about being able to come back for himself as well as his daughter. He had some good memories around here. And he would make sure not only could he have a real life but that he made people pay for what they had done.

It was decided he would not confront Albus until his daughter was born. It could be too dangerous and he would not risk his daughter. His justice was important but not worth risking her. Fred's daughter meant more to him that anything and he would take no undue risk with her.

Remus worried. "Are you certain?"

"I am tired of being cooped up."

Remus reminded him. "You said you would wait."

"I am not going to school."

Remus sighed. "There are other risks."

Harry reminded him. "Severus gave me the spell."

Remus nodded. "I know I am just being cautious."

Harry kissed his cheek. "You know I love you for it."

Remus laughed. "Not very marauder of me."

Harry shrugged. "Probably why the others survived school."

Remus agreed. "Guess reasonable side helped."

Harry assured him. "I will take no risks."

Remus cut him off. "I know you won't."

"And George will be there for some."

Remus shook his head. "I know you will be safe. I just can't help…."

Harry kissed him on the cheek. "You know I love you for it."

Remus had been worried but he knew this was for the best. He just didn't want to risk losing Harry and the baby after all they had done. Severus though had taught Harry a spell. Remus had reminded the man that Albus could see through most spells but Severus had assured him. It was a spell that Alastor had taught him long ago. Harry had always been fond of the old auror and wished he was alive, not only to help but be here. From what Remus remembered, Alastor had been as fond of Harry. It was fitting one of his spells would help Harry now.

Harry had needed out of the house or he was going to go crazy. And he could admit he wanted to see some of London once again. He had never been free to when he was growing up. The closest had been when he had stayed third year at the Leaky Cauldron. But that would change.

Harry entered the Leaky Cauldron. "Changed little."

Tom was busy behind the bar. "Can I get you anything?"

Harry was reminded of his disguise, the man always greeted him before. "No, just passing into the alley."

He was walking through the alley when he spotted Ron. 'Great.'

Ron looked at the time. "Damn I am late."

Harry wondered. 'Who is he meeting?'

Ron slipped into a café and Harry spotted Molly. "Mum, sorry I am late."

Molly kissed him. "I thought Hermione would be joining."

Ron sat. "You know she is busy with school."

Molly sighed. "I wish you had waited for a baby till she was done."

Harry smirked. 'Never thought to hear her say that.'

Ron shrugged. "Perfect timing, born on the first anniversary."

Molly reminded him. "Could be born early or late."

Ron shook his head. "We have arranged to be induced early."

Molly was surprised. "Why the risk?"

Ron reminded her. "There is no risk. And what better way than for baby Harry to be born on the day."

Harry ground his teeth. 'They wouldn't.'

Molly voiced his own thoughts. "Better a family name."

Ron shook his head. "The world believed him my best friend. It is expected."

Believed, was the right words Harry thought. He had no idea about Hermione, but Ron and Ginny were lies from day one. He should not have been surprised really. Ron had been cashing in on him since they had first met. Of course he would want to continue the name and name the boy Harry. Harry kind of hoped they had a little girl, it would be more fitting. He worried that Ron would use the name Lily though if he did.

Harry met George in his shop. "Place has grown."

George smiled. "Your daughter's legacy."

Harry smirked. "I never took shares."

George shrugged. "But her daddy did."

Harry sighed. "I miss him."

George put a hand on his belly. "He would be happy you are home."

Harry agreed. "That we have you."

George shook his head. "That you move on."

Harry agreed. "Reclaim my life."

George gently pushed. "And find love again."

Harry was pale. "Maybe one day."

George just smiled. "You may have an option already."

Harry was confused. "Who?"

"Though my twin may have worried she'd be a Slytherin if you hook up."

Before Harry could respond a voice came from behind. "George."

George turned to Ron. "What are you doing in here?"

Ron smirked. "Come to check on my investment."

George smirked. "You know you will never win."

Ron shrugged. "I am sure the courts will agree Harry would want us and his namesake to have his shares."

George pointed at the door. "I'd destroy my business first."

Harry was worried when he was gone. "You didn't tell me."

George laughed. "We both know it's empty."

Harry had refused any shares but Fred had left him some in his will. Besides he was entitled to some at any time. Harry though had left his entire estate to Remus. Ron was planning on waiting until his son was born and then taking George to court. He thought a little son Harry would help drive the point it. Just like the baby name, it made his skin crawl, that Ron would try and take half the business.

Harry grunted. "It seems Albus is not the only one I will have to deal with."
