     "HONEY, DO YOU WANT to see someone?" Harry Potter asked his seventeen-year-old daughter, who kept fidgeting and staring at the hospital door. "Uh, yeah. Uhm, Dad, could you get Teddy?"

   "Teddy? Why?" Harry questioned, confusion etched on his features. Ginny Potter smiled and said, "Sure, hon. Harry and I will get him, wouldn't we, Harry?" Ginny looked sharply at him. "Um, sure, Gin," Harry said, still confused. 

   Ginny kissed Lily's forehead and grabbed Harry's hand and dragged him out to the hallway. "What was that?"

   "Honestly, Harry, how daft could you get?" Ginny Potter mumbled, rolling her eyes. "Lily's in love with Teddy, and so is Teddy-"

   "Yeah, they're almost like siblings!" Harry exclaimed. Ginny facepalmed. "It isn't like that."

   Harry's eyes widened as realization hit him. "Y-You mean- But she's my daughter! And he's my godson! They are basically siblings! I won't allow this! Plus, Ted is 26, and Lil is 17!" 

   Ginny rolled her eyes, yet again. "So? Remeber Remus and Tonks? You supported them, didn't you?"

   "Yeah, but Lily's my daughter!" He whispered. "But they love each other! Have you seen the way Ted looks at Lil?" Ginny whispered back. Harry replied, rubbing his face, "Yeah. I can't believe I didn't notice that. I mean I did, but I-"

   "I understand. And I support them and love them. You should too."

   "You support Lily with everyone!" At Ginny's glare, he quickly shut up. "I mean-" He released a breath, before saying, "Okay, but if he hurts her, I won't hesitate to kick-"

   "Hey, Uncle Harry!" 

   Harry turned to see his niece Victoire, who has probably heard all of their exchange. She exchanged a small smile with Ginny, before Teddy came over, his hair a sickly pale white. "What's up, Vic?

   "Nothing, Lily just wants to see you." She replied, winking at him. Teddy's hair turned even paler. "No, she hates me."

   Victoire and Ginny facepalmed at the same time before Ginny huffed and said, "Why would she hate you, Ted? She had just woken up and thought you were Riddhi. Nothing more."

   "Oh." He replied before Victoire grabbed him by the back of his sweater and shoving him inside Lily's hospital room. "Phew. He's a handful, seriously." She said, shoving her hands into her jeans pockets.

   "So you know it, too?" Harry asked, looking at his niece. "Know what?" Victoire asked, untangling her blonde hair using her fingers.

   "Ted's little crush on Lil." He replied. "Obviously, James and I were the first ones to know. And Uncle Harry, it's not a 'little crush'!" SHe replied, air quoting 'little crush'.

   Harry rolled his eyes and replied, "Does everyone other than I know?"

   "Pretty much." 

   "How's Kimberly, Vic?" Ginny asked, her voice softening. Victoire smiled and said, "She's doing better. Reckon she'll be okay."

   "That's great! Are the others alright?"

   "Yeah, but Dom isn't eating anything. She's been sitting with Kim for hours. James and Laurel went to get coffee, Al and Scorp are over there, and the others are in the cafeteria."

   "Ah."
