Youngblood thinks there's always tomorrow
"I miss your touch on nights when I'm hollow. I know you crossed a bridge that I can't follow." Teddy weeps softly while holding a picture of Tonks and Remus. The picture is the first thing Harry gave his godson when he turned 11, his parents holding him for the first time.
Since the love that you left is all that I get "I want you to know that if I can't be close to you...I'll settle for the ghost(s) of you. I miss you more than life.", he continues sobbing. He may have been raised by Harry and Dromeda but...it wasn't the same. Dromeda never recovered from losing Ted and Tonks, and Harry was still dealing with the trauma of it all.
Harry's POV
"And if you can't be next to me, your memory is ecstasy. I miss you more than life." is heard from the next room. Harry knows that Teddy has been struggling with his sexuality and really needs parental advice that he can't give. "I miss you more than life", he thinks.
Time flashes for Harry. Third year and meeting Remus for the first time. Slowly warming up to the idea of him being an uncle. Feeling loved for being something other than the chosen one. "I need more time but time can't be borrowed. I'd leave it all behind if I could follow". Fourth Year and going through the goblet but knowing he has support when everyone turned on him. Fifth year and meeting Tonks for the first time. She had so much love to give. Seventh year and getting to be godfather to Teddy. Something he didn't deserve....May 2nd....the day they were lost to the world.
Harry gets up and walks to Teddy's room. "They loved you more than anything, you know. We tried convincing Tonks not to fight but she fought to make sure you were happy and safe. I know it doesn't change anything but.."
Together they say in unison, "I want you to know that if I can't be close to you, I'll settle for the ghost of you. I miss you more than life. And if you can't be next to me, your memory is ecstasy. I miss you more than life."
