"Hello, Teddy's not up yet?", a brown-haired woman entered the kitchen.

"Andromeda, you're here. Good, take a seat. Teddy's still sleeping, we were just waiting for you to wake him up.", Harry greeted her.

"Hi Aunt Dromeda!", Lily smiled and hugged Ted's grandma that she saw as hers, too.

It was eight in the morning and the kitchen table was loaded with presents and a really huge cake, since later some family would be coming.

Well, not some, actually it was everyone.

At first Ted had only resisted on Victoire coming, then they had decided to get Bill and Fleur with their children altogether.

Then, Ginny had said that it wouldn't be fair to leave the others out, so now everyone came for afternoon tea.

Andromeda lay down another present and then sat down.

"Lily, how are you?", she smiled and picked Lily up to sit on her lap.

"I'm fine, but look what I painted for Teddy."

"A camel with boots.", Albus called over from his seat.

Lily glared at him: "No, it's a horse. With Teddy riding it. I've told you that at least a thousand times today."

"I still think that bubble on the back is a camels humpback."

"I see it, that's some beautiful horse and you've really gotten Teddy right.", Andromeda smiled calmingly.

"Dad, can I get Teddy now?", James hopped on the spot, ready to run upstairs.

"Alright, but be nice to him, it's his birthday."

"I'm going with you.", Albus stated and got up.

"No you're not! It was my idea so I'm going. Alone.", James told him angrily.

"I'm coming with you.", Albus repeated.

"You can go together, that's no problem James.", Ginny said.

"Well, I'm faster then.", James stormed offended out of the kitchen and pushed Albus out of the way, who immediately stormed after him.

In the kitchen they only heard stomping feet and a door being thrown open.

Then there were yells and something crashed.

"They shouldn't have gone together.", Ginny stated.

"No, they probably shouldn't have.", Harry agreed and looked up to the ceiling in worry.

"Come on Teddy, let's get downstairs!", they heard James call out, and seconds later, James and Albus pulled a messy Ted into the kitchen, in his PJs and his hair standing up into every direction.

"Didn't I say to be nice and gentle when waking him up?", Ginny groaned.

"They really were. I've only got about twenty bruises and my bed crashed. Nothing else.", Ted yawned.

"Nevermind that now, let's celebrate!", Harry interfered because Ginny just took a deep breath to reprimand the two boys.

Together, they sang Happy Birthday and then everyone gave Ted a huge hug and congratulated him.

"Teddy, look at my present first!", Lily called out excitedly and gave him her picture.

"What a beautiful camel, thanks Lily!", Ted called out and reached out to hug her.

She crossed her arms, highly insulted: "That is no camel! It's you on a horse."

"Ha, it is a camel, Teddy says so, too.", Albus called out triumphantly.
