The Golden Son

Surprise!

The conversation with Andromeda the next day wasn't easy, having just lost her husband Ted not even 2 months prior, having to tell her that their only child was dead was heartbreaking to do.

It was even more heartbreaking to watch her reaction.

After the initial shock wore off her main concern was Teddy and where he would go now that his parents weren't here.

He was absolutely adorable but it broke my heart that this was the first time I was meeting him, as his big sister I shouldn't have been meeting him for the first time at a month old.

"He's a Metamorphmagus like Nymphadora, he seems to like to change his hair color to match whoever it is he wants at the time." Andromeda said, smiling down at the sleeping baby in her arms

His hair currently matched Andromeda's dark brown hair which I thought was cute.

"He's adorable. I don't know what exactly we can do or what they'd want us to do in this situation though Andromeda. You're his closest family, and you know you can always owl Sirius or I if you need help, but he seems content being here with you for right now." I replied, answering her earlier question about what we were supposed to do now.

"I'm 46 Y/N, I've raised my child. I want to be Teddy's gran, not his mum."

"Oh, ummmm, I don't know what other option we have. Can anyone else take him?"

"You're his sister, what if you take him? You're only 21, you have the energy to handle a baby."

"I..... well, I'd have to ask Percy first. I can't make a decision this big without talking to him about it first..... the last time I did that was when I became Harry's guardian and he was really upset about that."

"I can't say I blame him, I'd be upset too in that situation" she replied, smirking before continuing "Though, that does sound like something Sirius's child would do. He's always been very impulsive."

I let out an embarassed chuckle, she wasn't wrong but it was still a little embarrasing.

"Can he stay here until I can talk to Percy?" I asked

"Of course, if Percy's not comfortable with it I'll ask Sirius. It'd give him a chance to repay Remus for him raising you." She replied, smiling at the idea of watching Sirius running after a chaotic baby Teddy.

I stayed at Andromeda's house for a few more hours, spending time with a very wiggly baby and reminiscing about the good times we'd both had with my dad and Dora, before going home.

Eventually I had to go home though, even if I did want to spend more time with Teddy, and I had to ask Percy about what Andromeda and I had talked about.

I wanted to try and put him in a decent mood, while he'd apparently quit his position as the Junior Assistant to the Minister for Magic durning the Battle of Hogwarts, he'd agreed to help the new Minister for the time being until he could find a replacement.

Kingsley Shacklebolt had been appointed Minister, he had a LOT he wanted to do and he needed the help of an assistant to get everything done while also helping with the clean up efforts from the war.

In an effort to do this I went to the local grocery store to pick up a few things to make him a decent meal.

I got Swordfish and everything to make a salad to go with it, unfortunately for me I never go to eat mine.....

Around the time he usually gets home I started dinner, I'd been able to actually get the food on the plate and get the table set but that was about it.

The smell of the fish was nauseating to me, as soon as I'd placed the plates on the table I ran into the bathroom and threw up.
