Chapter forty-eight*

[Mature content is marked where it starts]

The Easter holidays arrived soon after, and with a rather short conversation with Professor McGonagall - which mostly consisted of begging on Harry's part - Haven, Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys were allowed to go home over the holidays.

Only after Harry's speech to the Headmistress about how badly he needed to see his godson and hear him talk with short but actual phrases, did Professor McGonagall tell him that since he already passed the age of seventeen, he's allowed to go wherever he wants in the Easter holidays. 

Since the Hogwarts Express didn't ride to take the students home around that time, Professor McGonagall allowed them to Apparate outside of the Hogwarts grounds. 

With Haven still being the only one of them along with Hermione with an Apparating licence, she was the one everyone held onto. Ginny had dragged Luna with her as well so a total of five people clung onto some part of Haven's body - Harry quickly claimed her hand - which she had to take to Ottery St Catchpole where The Burrow would be waiting for them.

The urgent letter Harry sent to Andromeda Tonks the day before had already gotten a reply which told him that little Teddy, the boy who said his first phrase including a couple of syllables that were most likely a part of Harry's name, was waiting for them inside the cosy home of the Weasleys. 

Haven learned to love it, having stayed there twice already. She was happy that Mr and Mrs Weasley welcomed her again for a couple of days. Harry was going to spend nearly all his time with Teddy until the little man could say the alphabet backwards, which gave Haven the opportunity and freedom to visit her parents' grave again.

"Mione, you have to teach us how to work that projecto-thingy of yours," Ron told his girlfriend as they all walked through the orchard to the house, Harry leading the way by taking the largest steps, obviously wanted to get to his godson as soon as possible. "It took us ages to make it work last time,"

"Harry knows how to turn it on, doesn't he? How come he didn't help?" Hermione asked. 

Haven walked behind the couple and in front of the other couple, Luna and Ginny. She'd be third-wheeling lots of the time if Harry was going to spend all his time with Teddy. 

"I think Harry quite liked watching us nearly break the bloody thing before he decided to intervene," Ron told her as they entered through the backdoor. "Or he was too busy staring at Haven, who knows?"

Ron looked back over his shoulder at the girl in question to which she only rolled her eyes, a small grin playing on her lips. Her stomach felt tingly at the thought even though she knew for a fact that it wasn't true. Harry had found it hilarious how Ron, Ginny, Fred and George tinkered on the projector without any luck. He might've been seated under the same blanket as her, but he wasn't staring at her. He wasn't.

Walking into the sitting area of The Burrow, the five Hogwarts students were greeted with a high-pitched giggle and the deep laughter of their Harry. Haven felt her lips part when she spotted the little Teddy being spun around in Harry's arms.

"Ha-wy, Ha-wy, Ha-wy!" Teddy exclaimed in excitement. His metamorphmagus abilities were clearly affected by the happiness of seeing his godfather again since the little boy now sported a bright green colour. 

Mrs Weasley sat on the armchair next to where Harry stood with Teddy, looking at the two with a soft and satisfied smile. Haven couldn't help but wonder if this made her think of both of their parents. 

"How great to finally see you all again!" Mrs Weasley said as she stood up, putting one of Teddy's toys down from her lap and making her way towards her two children. "I've prepared the bedrooms for your stay. Are you staying here for the night too, Luna?"
