After the Blue (NextGen HP)

The London Flat

2 weeks later, London Flat

He was standing looking at a faded yellow door, paint chipped on the button and rust on the door handle. Harry spent the past thirty so minutes undoing all the protective charms and enchantments. It was a sunny Saturday, instead of Hogsmede weekend, he had come with Harry to London. They were standing staring at the yellow door, unsure of what might be inside. Harry politely waited as Teddy finally took out the key, Grant had given him. He fiddled it into the lock and managed to unlock it, and opened the creaking door.

There was dust everywhere including the air, he tried fanning it out but it only caused more. "Scorgify!"

Finally able to see better, there was a couch and a rocking chair with cigarette stains on it and the window frame. There was an empty lighter on the table, along with some papers and books scattered around the living room. The wallpaper was ripped and the kitchen was just as dirty. No one had been in here for years. They looked around, Lumos, light beaming from the tip of their wand.

"Daily Profit...it's from 1995...that's me." Harry picked up the dusty newspaper from the couch, it had 'THE BOY WHO LIES?' written in big letters and a picture of Harry who looked no older than fourteen. "This was right after the Triwizard Tournament...they must have left for the Order Headquarters during this time..." Harry started mumbling things to himself.

Teddy made his way to the end of the room where some pictures were pinned up on the wall, it was of a big black blob labeled, 'Drunk Padfoot -taken by Prongs.' He took the dusty pictures and cleared the dust off to see a big black dog. Another picture was of Remus, he easily recognized him, his arm resting on Sirius's shoulder as they both smoked at night in the middle of the street. It was labeled, 'They're filling that shit in their lungs again -Marlene.' He stood there looking at the picture, it was of his dad for sure, but he looked different. Much younger than any other pictures he had seen, looked happy, it was nice.

He made his way to the fridge which had a glossy pink stain on it and there was a note hanging on by a magnet. Teddy picked it up and started reading,

Gone out to get milk and more bread because you keep eating it all. - Sirius

There were packets, most empty of Marlboro's lying around, and a big empty bookcase with only a couple of books left. Teddy assumed they were all packed away in the garage or they took them to the Order headquarters.

He made his way to the back of the flat, it seemed to be the bedroom. He opened the door, and Harry followed behind. There was one big bed with a nightstand on each side, just like couples have in their rooms. He looked around there weren't many pictures hung up but they found another piece of paper that seemed like a list on the floor.

Mad-Eye

Snivellus (only because Dumbledore says so.)

Tonks, Andy, and Ted

Mundungus

Dumbledore (Aberforth and Albus)

Moony and Padfoot

Harry

Mary Macdonald

Harry's and Mary's names seemed to be scratched off the list. Harry peered over Teddy's shoulder and said, "They were probably making a list of people during the Order reformation." Teddy passed the paper to him after he ran his finger where 'Tonks' was written. It didn't feel right standing in their bedroom. It was already hard enough to understand the fact that his dad had a whole life before he met his mum. That even Harry didn't know about it.
