Harry Potter and the 19 years between (on hold)

Chapter 3

Harry awoke on Christmas eve morning to the feeling of someone poking him. He opened his eyes and sees Teddy poking him. Harry sits up rubbing his eyes before her grabs his glasses before slipping them on.

"Morning Teddy. How did you sleep?" Harry asks

"Good. You woke me up a few times."

Harry sighs he always has nightmares. He kisses Teddy's head before picking him up and carrying him down to the kitchen. Mrs. Weasley is already moving about the kitchen getting breakfast ready. Ginny walks into the kitchen. Just as Mrs. Weasley turns and sees Harry.

"Oh, Harry, Ginny, Good morning. I can watch Teddy if you need something Harry." She says

"Oh, no. I just came down to see if you needed any help." Harry says

"I'm fine, dear. But thank you for the offer."

Harry nods before walking out of the kitchen and outside with Teddy still in his arms. Harry walks to the area he used to play Quidditch with the Weasley's over the summer. He sets Teddy down next to him. He leans against the tree thinking. He watches Teddy as his hair changes from it's normal turquoise color to brown with pink streaks and then pink with brown streaks.

"Teddy what are you thinking about?" Harry asks softly

"Mummy and Daddy. Do you have any pictures of them?"

"Yes at the house. When we go home I'll show them. I also have picture of the whole family. I even have some of uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione on the day they got married." He says

"Do you have pictures of Mummy and Daddy when they got married?" Teddy asks

"No I never got any. They did it privately. Speaking on marrying. How would feel if I got married?" Harry asks.

"With Ginny?"

"Yes. Why?"

"I like Ginny." Teddy states before yawing and rubbing his eyes.

"I do too, Ted." Harry replies picking the three year old up.

     Teddy lays his head on Harry's shoulder and falls asleep about halfway back to the Burrow. Harry opens and closes the front door gently. He walks toward the stairs just as Ginny is coming down. She kisses his cheek with a smile.

"Where's everyone at?" Harry asks in a voice just above a whisper.

"Mum and Dad went to Dad's work for a Christmas party. George, Percy, and Charlie went out to do some last minute Christmas shopping. Ron and Hermione are upstairs. And Bill and Fluer just put Victorie down for a nap." Ginny replies.

Harry nods, "Can we go for a walk? After I put Teddy down? He'll sleep for a while." 

"Yeah. That sounds nice. I'll wait right outside." Ginny says kissing his cheek again before walking outside.

 Harry goes up to the spare room Teddy and him are sharing. He lays Teddy on his bed and then tucks him in. He smiles, kissing Teddy's head before he leaves cracking the door. He quietly walks down the stairs and out the door. He takes Ginny's hand before leading her to where they play Quidditch. He stops in his tracks, taking both of her hands he gently kisses her.

"I'm sorry we haven't been able to get much time together with my work, your Quidditch, and Teddy." Harry says.

"Harry it's fine. The Harpies are out of the running for the World Cup. We got beat by the Irish last week. And I know what your work is like. Ron's and Auror too, remember. Hermione and I hang out almost everyday depending on my scheduale." Ginny says
