Incognito

Chapter 6 - Never Hurt Lily Potter

Teddy stared to his siblings
"Stand down!" he ordered, James glared at him
"But Sir!" he protested.
"They mean no harm, stand down, no harm will come to you. Now, will someone explain what is going on?" he demanded. Slowly everyone lowered their wands, but the air was still tense. Albus stepped forward
"They call us to the office a while ago, trying to get us to go to the Weasley's house." Teddy looked at them perplexed, he then turned to Ron who he just noticed was in the room, he turned to him a fierce look in his eyes
"What were you thinking, do you not remember what I told you?" he seethed.
"I know but the ministry said that in order for us to help you on Harry's case the kids need to see their mothers birth family" Teddy could feel the magic level in the air rising. The others seemed not to notice, Teddy looked to his siblings, praying they could keep their tempers in check. Professor McGonagall placed a hand on Teddy's shoulder.
"It's either this or they are placed into care" Teddy paled. Lily looked to Albus and James, they would be ripped apart in care.
"With all due respect there is no reason for this, I am their guardian. You've seen the papers!" Teddy protested. Ron sighed
"Yes but the papers were done within the French government which means that until we get confirmation that these papers are indeed legal you hold no legality over the kids." James frowned
"But why would meeting mum's family mean that he can continue as our guardian?" Ron hug his head, he began panicking slightly at the look of realisation on their faces.
"Yes but by sending them to my mums you are transferring guardianship over to the Weasleys for the time being, I as James's godfather could petition for custody of all three of them meaning they would avoid care and I will leave all the guardianship decisions to Teddy." Ron reasoned. The magic level began depleting, yet as Ron mentioned spending Christmas at the Weasleys Teddy could feel his siblings panic. Teddy smiled at them warmly as he felt the light cackle
"Guys, it's fine. It's a week isn't it? Besides we should get to know where we came from" the three just continued to panic.
"Guys really it's okay!" he said, tension in his voice. Lily looked to her eldest brother
"You will be there right?" she asked. Teddy knew it wasn't a question, if he wasn't there then the kids would only run, it's the first thing that Harry instilled in them. Teddy rested a hand on the young girl's shoulder.
"Of course, now why don't you three go and freshen up for dinner?" they looked like they wanted to protest but they didn't and walked away. Teddy then turned to the ministry officials
"Why were they backed up against the walls like caged animals?" he asked through gritted teeth. McGonagall frowned, she then went on to explain that when they were told of the situation they tried to leave. The women on the floor had tried to stop them by grabbing Lily but was met by a stunner off James and perticus totalus of Albus. She was also punched in the face by Lily, the children had then taken knives and threatened to cut everyone to pieces when Teddy had walked in. The twenty-year-old grinned.
"Professor I'm really sorry, I should have told you. They all have weapon permits. I should have also told you there are a certain set of rules that we live by but the main one is never ever let any harm come to Lily" Ron turned to him.
"What are the other rules?" he asked, Teddy shrugged.
"Can't tell you that oh and by the way whilst you were busy attempting to kidnap my siblings I was tracking my father down."
"Oh yeah, find anything?" Ron asked. Teddy nodded and handed him the note
"I'll get an auror team ready, we'll meet you there in two hours" Teddy nodded and left the room. He left everyone there to wonder what the hell Harry had taught his kids.

Two hours later found Teddy outside Fred Weasleys grave, Teddy frowned as the auror went about their job. He knew Harry had been there as he could feel a trace amount of his magical signature, but he couldn't feel anybody else. The auror team told him it was like Harry had just... disappeared. Teddy growled
"He could have dissaperated?" he suggested, at this the auror eyes widened
"Of course, but where too?" one of them asked. Teddy pondered on it for a minute, then he came to a sudden realisation.
"Ginny's grave!" and then he, himself vanished into thin air.

Ginny's grave was not as big as her family would have liked, they wanted a heart shaped grave and for it to be a testament to the fact she was daughter and sister above all else. Harry had put his foot down saying Ginny was not a heart shaped kind of girl and that she hated the colour pink. As such her Grave was normal, the only difference being the green and red flowers that Harry had created. Green and Red were her favourite colour, green for Harry's eyes and Red for the colour of the quidditch team she represented before her retirement. Slowly Teddy walked toward her grave, this woman was as much of a mother to him in his first ten years of life as she was to the kids. Teddy heaved a huge sigh, it wasn't fair her life was cut so tragically short. When he realised he was crying he wiped his tears away and tried to find a clue. When he found none, he sighed and tried knocking on the doors of houses nearby. After a couple of failed attempts, he wanted to give up but as he was about to do just that an elderly man walked up to him.
"Excuse me?" the elderly man spoke. Teddy turned to him
"My wife lives at 104 and she said you were asking questions about a man" Teddy nodded eagerly, he pulled out a picture of Harry he had been carrying and showed it to the man. The man nodded
"Ah yes, I remember him, he visits his wife in this very graveyard and always brings along those sweet children of his. He was here a month or two ago? He was fighting with some men in hooded coats and then there was a big bang... then when I looked back they were all gone" Teddy tried to look less like an eager puppy waiting for his master and more like a government official.
"Oh right, well sir do you remember where they were fighting exactly?"
"Yes, they were fighting over there" he said pointing to a spot under a tall oak tree, not to far from Ginny's grave.
"Right thank you sir" he said and then he left the man to investigate the scene of the crime. When he got there, he found the auror and relayed what the old man had said, whilst they were working Teddy walked back to Ginny's grave and kissed the headstone.
"I'll find him Ginny, I promise" Ron appeared behind him, hands in his pockets.
"You know we might not find him alive right?" Teddy wanted to yell and scream and say that no, he wouldn't be dead, but he couldn't. Ron was right, they might have killed him already.
"Maybe but... those kids have already lost one parent... I don't want them to lose Harry too" Ron frowned.
"Teddy?" he asked "What exactly are your plans? After we find Harry" Teddy shrugged. Harry had been missing for close to three months now, Teddy didn't think he would be staying this long and he certainly thought he could keep Ginny's family away. He sighed
"If we find Harry it'll be whatever he decided if we don't well... its up to lil, James and Al. I don't intend to force them to leave if they don't want to." At this Ron grinned, an auror ran up to them as they had their conversation
"sir" he addressed Ron
"We've taken blood samples and we're going to take them back to the lab to run preliminary tests." Ron nodded and sent him on his way.
"You never know Ted, you may like it here" and the he left the young man in the dust.
