Another month has went by and things have Since been pretty normal.
Draco Malfoy turned 19 and pretty much kept hidden until the day past by. Nobody wanted to push him, assumed it had to do with what happened to him during his time kidnapping, in fact, they were pretty certain that's what it was, so they had no choice, but to leave it be. They did, and the day past by. Draco slipping into Harry's bed after midnight and nuzzled to him. A couple days afterwards, they were finally able to do a little something for his birthday, but Draco still kept uncomfortable about the whole idea of his birthday.

Today? Was Friday after school, there was a dance that Teddy had been worried about for almost a month. A girl, a goth girl named October, had asked him out. A week ago, she told him she'd been sick again and her doctor didn't want her to go. Yesterday, Teddy asked what they would have to do, so she could go with him. Masks. So, Remus lupin made them both masks that went with his suit and her ball room dress.
He was currently in Harry's bedroom, getting ready. Harry, holding the tie in his hand, in some dress outfit. He had volunteered to be a chaperone. "What exactly is her condition?" Harry asked. "She had leukemia as a baby, and now she doesn't have much red blood cells? It might be the white. The ones that help you fight sickness. She pretty much has non and gets sick real easily and it can get real bad if she gets anything to do with her lungs." Teddy said. "Ah...are you certain going to the dance is a good idea?" Harry asked. "She fussed at her parents and doctor. She wants to be normal, Dad. We are going." Teddy said. "Alright, alright. You're certain they have sweets?" Harry asked. "Yes, I am." Teddy said, before he walked over to Harry and Harry slowly fixed his tie. "Be nice." Teddy fussed. "If he is nice to me. You know I am not biologically old enough to be your father. People dislike that, very much." Harry said and Teddy let out a sigh. "I know, dad." Teddy said, before the knock traveled throughout the home.

Harry opened the door, with a nosey little girl holding his hand. "Good afternoon, Mr. Potter." Spoke the man, known as August Whiter. Harry gave the man a light smile. "Good evening, Mr. Whiter. This, is my youngest, Lily. She's being a nosey little girl." Harry said. "You are leaving!" She said, looking up at her daddy. "And papaw is coming to play with Lily. You will be just fine. Please, come inside." Harry said.

After a brief introduction of the other boys, James and Albus, the man sat down with Harry for a cup of coffee. Harry knew the man wanted to say something more, but his daughter wanted him to be nice, but Harry didn't like the looks he was getting. "Teddy is my god son, adopted when his grandparents got arrested. James was born when I was sixteen." Harry said. "I didn't-" He started to say and Harry let out a sigh. "I'm pretty used to the unwanted opinions form others. I know it throws people off, with my sons, so no worries." Harry said. "It's not just that, Mr. Potter. I very much dislike the thought of October going, but you haven't a clue on the fit she throw." He said. "I have a pretty good idea, and it seems like it would be a lot to handle, but maybe after a hour or so, I can convince them to a movie or something? It would require her to be picked up later." Harry said and after a sigh. "If so, then let me know. At least it would be less people." He replied. "I'll see what I can get done. Have a good day." Harry said.

Harry stood along the wall of the gym, were they were holding the dance just watching. Most of the students on the dance floor, just talking the evening away. The music was a little uncomfortable for Harry, who let out a sigh and grabbed another candy bar and some punch, just wandering how he let Teddy talk him into coming here. Harry then looked around until he found Teddy and October, who were currently away form most of the group. Even with the mask, you could tell she was happy, with the little crazy movements Teddy was doing. That's why. That's why he agreed to this, but also knew how worried her parents must be about October, so when the hour past by, Harry walked over to the couple. "How about we finish this evening with a movie?" Harry asked. "My daddy said something to you, didn't he?" October said. "He is just worried about you, sweetie. I know it's annoying, but I'd say I'd try." Harry said. "There is that new Pokemon, you said you like it." Teddy said. "I do...Only if we get popcorn." She fussed. "Of course. Come on." Harry said.

Harry turned back to the two in the back. "You two, in the floorboard, now." Harry said. Teddy seen Harry grab his handgun out the dash. "What-" Teddy started. "I said, down!" Harry said. The two got down, and Harry locked the two inside the car before Harry hurried off. It only took less then a minute later, before the gunshots started up. October pulled out her phone and called 9-1-1

9-1-1 How can I help you?

Somebody is shooting up the dance!

What's your location?

Thompson middle school!

Teddy ended the called, when the shadow of somebody got to close. The pair would get looked at by somebody in a mask, but the person just put their finger to their lips for a moment. He shoot the window out, but hurried away. Teddy kept his hand over her mouth, because she just wanted to cry. She was completely terrified.
It wouldn't take long for the officers to get their and hurried inside the school and it seemed the two of them would be forgotten about, at least for nearly half an hour. Harry hurried over to the car and pulled the back door open and after a pause. "How...did you know?" Teddy whispered. "Something just told me. Come one, the EMT is going to look you two over." Harry said.

"Daddy." October said, and hurried over to her father a little more later. He just held her close and Harry, who looked liked he'd been grabbed on the arm, his outfit long messed up, and a small bandaged on his arm, shown. "Just a couple cuts form glass, but they were in my car." Harry said, before David could be heard. "Are you really putting up a fight? I can get Teddy home, Harry." David said. "I'm fine, David." Harry huffed, and David walked away, but only to handle something else, for now. He would be back. "Can I take her then?" He asked. "Yeah. They already spoke to them. Somebody will contact you another time, if they have more questions. Needless to say, school is out Monday and Tuesday, maybe even Wednesday. They are even talking about just ending the year." Harry said. "Okay...thank you." He replied back.

It would be close to midnight, before they made it home. Teddy having trouble sleeping that night, kept waking up. He ended up just getting on his video game, and watched the sun come up that morning.
