Harry's POV

An hour later, the pain stops except for lingering soreness from the cuts, bruises, and burns.

I sit up slowly before grabbing ahold of my wand and casting healing charms over myself.

I'm not great at healing spells, I never have. So afterwards, I still have a lot of places that I have to bandage because I can't heal them fully.

Not to mention these hour long episodes take it out of me so much that casting any difficult spells is nearly impossible for me.

Hermione sends me regular doses of blood replenishment potions and other such potions to help ease the pain afterwards.

My body is a permanent tomb for wounds that will never disappear for as long as I am cursed. I drink my potions and I feel energy slowly come back to my body.

Once I was stable, I made my way to a cabinet that held bandages and other ointments.
I spread them on the parts I couldn't heal and looked up at the time.

Damnit! Teddy's gonna be waiting on me. His school is gonna be out in less than five minutes!

The second I was finished, I flooed to my house, knowing full well that classes are now over and then apparating in front of the school like I do five days a week.

When Teddy saw me, his hair turned to my raven colored hair and he ran up to me and gave me a hug. I flinched as he touched one of the cuts on my stomach.

Teddy pulled back and looked at me. "It already happened for today?" He asked.

Teddy knows what happens to me, but not once have I ever let him be near me when it happens. When it does, I either send him to Hermione or I tell him to go play in his room before locking and silencing my own up.

"Yes, but I'm alright." I tell him, giving him a great big smile.

He smiled back at me. "I know you are. You're my dad so your strong." My smile just grew and I knelt down and hugged him tighter.

I still get a warm feeling in my stomach when he calls me dad.

When we pulled away Teddy's hair turned pink, which meant he wanted to ask me something, but was nervous.

"Can my friend Scorpius come over and play?" He asked.

I laughed lightly. "Of course. As long as it's ok with his parents."

Teddy's eyes lit up and his hair flashed his typical bright blue. "He's waiting for his dad over there. You can come meet him in the mean time!" Teddy said joyously and grabbed my hand, tugging me in the direction of his friend.

Sure enough, a boy about the same height as Teddy wearing a wizards robe stood not too far from where I was originally at. He looked to be about Teddy's age with dirty blond hair and piercing blue/grey eyes.

He looked extremely familiar to someone I know, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

"Dad, this is Scorpius. Scorpius this is Harry. My dad." He said introducing us.

"Hello Scorpius, it's nice to meet you." I greeted with a soft smile.

"It's nice to meet you too sir." He had a smile across his face. "Uhm, sir? By any chance, are you Harry Potter?" He asked nervously.

"Why, yes I am. You can call me Harry."

The boys eyes lit up with excitement. "Thank you! I've heard so much about you from my dad. He said he went to Hogwarts with you. Ted, I didn't know your dad was the Harry Potter!" He looked at his friend accusingly.
