It's Complicated

I awoke to the warm heat of the sun shining on my face through the window of shell cottage.

After Dobby's funeral yesterday, we began staying at Bill and Fleur's house temporarily.

I rolled over to see Florence still fast asleep. I decided it was best to leave her. She needed the rest after yesterday, after what happened........ after what her own mother did to her.

I'll never forget it. I'll make Bellatrix pay, if it's the last thing I do.

I slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes.

"Harry!" A familiar voice called as the door to our room swung open.

I looked to the door and smiled. "Moony!"

Moony quickly covered his eyes and looked away from the bed as if he saw something criminal. "Oh oh sorry, didn't know you were......busy."

He was probably referring to the fact I was lying in bed with Florence, shirtless, wearing only my boxers.

"Oh no, it's fine." I said, my cheeks blushing. "It's great to see you. What are you doing here?" I asked as I put on my glasses and chucked on flannel shirt and trousers.

"I have exciting news. Come." He grinned as he nodded his head towards the hallway.

I quietly got up and followed him to the hallway where he had pulled out a picture from his pocket. "Meet Edward Remus Lupin, or as we call him, Teddy."

I looked down at the picture of the small baby that already had a full head of bright blue hair.

Moony looked at the photo, pride beaming from his face. "He gets the colour changing hair from his mum."

I couldn't help but smile wide. "Congratulations." I beamed. "You're gonna be a great dad. As you have been to me."

He looked touched. "Thank you Harry, really. I also have a rather important question to ask you."

"Anything."

He put his hand in my shoulder. "Will you be his godfather?"

I was shocked as his words. Me? Of all people? I had no idea he'd trust me with the life of his son if he were to pass away.

"Really?"

He nodded.

"Wow. I'm honoured. Of course!"

"And of course, Florence as his godmother."

"Oh I can't wait for you to tell her! She'll be up soon. Oh she'll be so excited, and you can-"

"I don't mean to interrupt, but I'm afraid there's no time. I have to get back to Dora. I promised I'd be home almost an hour ago now. I just wanted to see you while I was out." He cut off. "Would you mind asking Florence for me? I wish I could've stayed."

My expression dimmed slightly. I wanted Florence to see Remus herself, but his child is most important right now. "Of course. Hope you make it back safe."

He ruffled my hair before engulfing me in a long hug. When we pulled away and he handed me the picture of Teddy. "I want yourself and Florence to keep it safe until you see him for real. Okay?"

I nodded. "We'll take good care of it. Thanks, uncle Moony."

His smile grew wide at my words. Sirius once told me how my dad wanted me to call them uncle Moony and uncle Padfoot.

So, I had to. At least once.

"See ya kid." He waved before going down the stairs and disappearing out of the door.
