Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry: March Event - Mother's Day - Prompt: A woman celebrating with her child
Teddy walked into his childhood home. "Grandma!" he exuberantly called, nearly bouncing on his toes.
Andromeda came running. "Teddy, what is it? Is something the matter?" she asked fretfully, a worried frown on her lips.
"Get the champagne! We're celebrating," he replied with a laugh, his brown eyes sparkling with joy and infectious laughter erupted from his body.
Andromeda girlishly giggled. She had never seen Teddy like this. "What is there to celebrate? Come on. Tell me. You can't keep me in suspense."
Teddy twirled in happy circles as he held his arms open wide. He continued to laugh. "I asked Victoire to marry me, and she actually said yes. Can you believe it?"
She didn't answer the question. Of course she could believe. Anyone with eyes could see how much Victoire loved him. Instead, she clapped ecstatically. "Oh, Teddy! That's wonderful news," she gushed. She enveloped him in a warm embrace.
"Get the champagne, Grandma!" he ordered once again, playfully pushing her away.
"Will Harry and Ginny, as well as the Weasleys, be coming over to celebrate as well?"
"We'll celebrate with them tomorrow. I wanted to celebrate with you first," he admitted with a slight blush.
Andromeda's heart was filled with so much love and happiness. When it was decided that she would become Teddy guardian instead of Harry, due to his young age and inexperience with freedom and the ability to just have fun, Andromeda had worried she was too old for the job. She worried that she would mess Teddy up and not do as good of a job as Nymphadora would want her to do. She worried Teddy would resent her for not being his mother, but instead, his grandmother.
His worries had been for naught, though.
Teddy and Andromeda were close, and the fact that she was the first person he sought with his good news proved it. "I'm so happy for you," she blissfully sighed.
