It had been two weeks, it had been two weeks since Harry had been saved from the man he called a friend. It had been two weeks since the world had found their saviour again. It had been two weeks and no Weasleys had been granted access to Harry, it had been two weeks and Harry had yet to wake up.
The Potters had stood guard outside their fathers' hospital room, refusing access to few. Teddy had been looking over nurses' files, making sure they were all who they said they were when Hermione appeared, she carried with her flowers. Teddy remained still as she approached Harry's door, she held the flowers to him
"Please?" she asked. Teddy shook his head
"No, you abandoned him Hermione, you can't make yourself feel better now." Hermione sighed.
"I know Teddy... I messed up but he will always be my friend. I am not here today for him though" She admitted, Teddy stared at her, confused.
"I need to take the kids Teddy... their father is ill, they need a place to stay"
"They have somewhere to stay" Teddy retorted, Hermione frowned, placing a hand on Teddy' shoulder.
"You know they need a safe place Teddy, the hospital isn't good for them" Hermione tried to reason but Teddy wasn't having any of it
"They are safe, if you expect me to place them under anyone else's care you are sorely mistaken" Hermione nodded and took a step back
"Okay.. this isn't over Teddy" and the Minister turned on her heels and walked away.
Whilst this was going on Lily was changing her fathers' bandages, she sighed as she cleaned his wounds. Her brothers were passed out on chairs next to her. She felt pity on them, they had all been guarding Harry's room, but her brothers had refused to leave. Lily had gone home in an effort to get some sleep by order of Teddy, but it mattered not. Her father wasn't improving, and she didn't know what to do. As she changed the rooms the door opened and in walked Teddy, he locked the doors and cast a muffilito before joining his brothers on the chair.
"Any news?" he asked. Lily shook her head
"He's stable, the poison in slowly coming out of his system" she told him. Teddy growled
"Why isn't he waking up Lil?" he whispered. Lily hung her head
"I... I don't know, maybe he doesn't want to?" she asked, her voice breaking. Teddy gulped, he had though that himself, but he wouldn't let Lily think it.
"Harry will wake up Lily, he fought so hard to stay alive, he wouldn't give up just when we found him."
"Maybe that's why he is giving up though, he fought so that we would find him, so we would know the truth behind everything... maybe now he knows we're okay he's finally happy to let go." Lily felt tears rolled down her face and cursed herself. She had tried so hard to remain strong, but she was dying, she was tired and needed some reprieve. Teddy pulled her into a hug and before either of them knew it two pairs of arms eloped them.
"He'll wake up Lily because we're not ready to let him go" Albus told her. James laughed and wiped away a few of his own tears and turned to his father
"Yeah you hear that old man, you best wake up because we need you. So, don't be a dick" Lily laughed
"Only you would call dad names" she grinned. The boys laughed too, a rare action over the past few days. Teddy turned to them
"Okay, Lily and James go home and grab some blankets and pillows, we're camping in here tonight." The pair nodded and left their siblings. Teddy turned to Albus
"How are you feeling?" he asked, Albus shrugged
"Knacered, drained maybe a little disheartened but otherwise okay" he admitted. Teddy ruffled his hair
"No lasting effect from your mind voodoo?" Teddy asked. Albus shook his head
"No... I didn't have to search far or alter anything so I'm fine."
"You and Lily didn't... you didn't use your bond or anything?" Teddy asked apprehensively. Albus frowned
"No, we didn't have had to use it" Teddy was stopped from responding when his siblings reappeared and together the sibling got ready for bed, falling into a deep sleep.
The next morning Teddy awoke to shouting, instantly he was on alert, He surveyed the area and found Lily tending to Harry. The girl shrugged and pointed to the door, Teddy nodded and went outside. The sight that found him angered him. He found Hermione and two Aurors with their ands pointed at his siblings. Next to them was a stoic look woman.
"What are you doing?" he asked. Hermione handed Teddy a piece of paper. As he read it he began to shake, it was a court order saying Teddy must relinquish his rights over to Hermione so that the children could be took to a safe place.
"I'm sorry Teddy, I asked them not to, but they were relentless." Teddy didn't need to know who they were, it was obviously the Weasley family.
"You can't take them" he stated. Hermione merely pointed to the piece of paper as if it held all the answers.
"Hermione, if I can get you proof of guardianship will you leave us alone?" Teddy asked. Hermione nodded
"Yes, I can only give you thirty minutes though" Teddy nodded and turned to the boys.
"James, Al?"
"Yes sir?"
"If they attack take you or gain entry to dads room, bring them hell" he ordered.
"Understood" they echoed. Teddy nodded and left them behind.
Precisely twenty-nine minutes later Teddy apparated back into St Mungo's with a woman. The woman glared at the minster and smiled at the potters. She handed Hermione a envelop
"I think you will find all the necessary documents, not that you need them as they were already obtained by Ron." She said, Hermione paled
"Well... it seems like I knew less than I thought" she admitted. Teddy nodded, he walked towards his aunt and pulled her into a hug.
"Look... I know this has been tuff on you too and I will always hold respect for you as you were dads' friend. Yet my priority will always be to Harry, James, Albus and Lily. If the Weasleys want to see them then it'll take time. I'll concentrate on the kids and Harry and you concentrate on Ron because I can promise you one think Hermione. If I catch him before you his death will not be pleasant." Hermione nodded
"I promise when I catch him it won't be pleasant either" and then the minister turned and left.
The woman turned to the boys
"Oh Children, J'étais tellement inquiet!" she yelled. Albus pulled her into a hug
"We missed you Auntie Gabby" he said. Gabrielle hugged him back, looking around she realised that Lily was no one to be seen.
"Where iz my Petite fleur?" She asked, James hung his head
"She's looking after dad... it's not looking good" Gabrielle sighed and pulled away to look at them, to really look. James had a swelled knee which he was avoiding putting pressure on, Teddy was littered in bruises and Albus looked like he hadn't slept in days. All the boys looked drained and on the brink of collapse and she couldn't imagine Lily faring any better.
"Oh Amor, Zis will do no good." The boys looked to her, frowning as she ordered them to go home, rest and get changed and eat. They tried to argue but it did no good, Gabrielle was the one person on earth that would protect Harry like they would as such they agreed to do as she asked. Lily however was a different problem as she vehemently refused to leave.
"I know all dad's medical problems, I know how to solve any issues that could arise and besides I love Aunt Gabby but I can fight, she can't" they tried to reason with her but it did no good as she refused to move and honestly they were too tired to make her. As such they left Lily with the promise of return and went home.
