"I think we must leave now, mom would be waiting for us.She will get worried if we don't see her." Ginny broke the silence spread in the Graveyard of Godric Hollow.

"N-No!!!..yeah..I mean..you should go..I'll stay here." Harry said.

"Where in the Graveyard?" Ginny giggled.
"No in my own house,there.."Harry left the hand of Ginny he was holding and pointed it to the side of the house where once he used to live with Lily and James.

"Harry!-" Before Ginny could utter Harry interrupted her in the equidistant-"I-I'm really thankful you came to visit me. It really meant a lot to me. But please I want to stay here.."

"We will."Ginny said."We will live here in the house together, but not now. You're not alone Harry so you're not supposed to be alone.This is the time to stay together with everyone..With our family..We all need each other."

Ginny knew all well how to win over her blue eyed boy who actually had had green eyes. And Harry also knew that real easily though.

Harry nodded his head and held her hand. He closed his eyes with his wand still in his hand as if ready to disapparte. Within a second they disapparted from the Church Graveyard and apparted in the forepart of the house, in the yard but it wasn't The Burrow at all.

"Edward Lupin." Harry muttered. "Before we go to The Burrow, I would like to take a glance of him."

Harry and Ginny marched towards the house still hand in hand. After crossing the yard Harry thumped the door twice at a time.

"Coming.."voice of a female came through inside.Ginny was footing behind Harry and the door swung opened, but partially.
The lady peered Harry for a few seconds without uttering a word.

"I-I'm-"

"Harry Potter.."she completed.
"Come in..come in Potter." She said in her cold voice and opened the door wholly .
Harry entered into the house which was a bit familiar to him. Ginny was still behind him,gazing at the lady who had light,soft brown hairs and wide eyes which gave her the complete resemblence of someone. 

"Please sit.. Both of you have arrived in a very correct timing. The tea is ready and only a bit of magic would increase its quantity and even taste I suppose." She said winking her left eye.

"Thanks." Harry smiled and said.

"I-I thought she is-"

"Bellatrix" Hary broke Ginny's statement in the middle. "That's what I thought when I saw her first. She is Nymphadora's mother.

They both sat on the sofas, Ginny was perturbed because she left the Burrow without intimating her mother who would be on fire eagerly waiting for their arrival.

"So how are you Harry and you Weasley's girl. Ginerva I suppose." Mrs Tonks said while walking towards them and giving them the cup of tea.
"Fine." They both said at once.
"You can call me Ginny.."Ginny said.
"I-I'm sorry for your loss Mrs Tonks."Harry uttered.
"I'm sorry for your loss too." Mrs Tonks nooded her head and gazed from Harry to Ginny.
"Thanks."Ginny replied.
"Are Remus and Tonk's son, y-your Grand child lives here with you?" Harry asked.
"Yes dear. He is upstairs. They both left a reason for me to live." Mrs Tonks said. "You want to see him??"
"Yes we...-we want to." Harry's desire was all in his eyes. He stood up from the sofa, his cup was more than half filled with tea.
"You can go then Potter he's there upstairs. I think Ginny would like to finish her tea first. I'm not that bad in making tea. Am I?" Mrs Tonks giggled.

Harry smiled and tread on the heels of the way Mrs Tonks told him. He took stairs over stairs and then reached the door of the room which was now supposed to be of Edward's.
Harry unbolted the door gently and then entered the room. He saw the powdered acqua blue walls. The curtains of the window pane were faded red. There were pictures of Lupin and Tonks all around and he took one of them. He glanced at one of the unsteady pictures hanging near the chimney which had a frame carved with the intials of their names. In that picture Lupin was had held Tonks from behind with his hands firmly wrapped around her shoulders who was sitting on a sofa and he stood kissing her. It portrayed to Harry as if they were so much alive. After a second Harry's eyes caught a small boy of about one month who was completely cuddled in his blanket.
He wasn't sleeping at that time, his eyes were opened and he was gazing at the roof. He was running his small legs in air which seemed to Harry like he was making shapes in the gentle wind. Harry came closer to the crib. The child looked at Harry, who was a complete stranger to him with his big sparkling eyes just like his father Lupin. Harry smiled and got a hold of him. His hairs were red in colour until Harry didn't touch it. But then with Harry's touch, baby Lupin beamed and his hair became ginger coloured. At that moment Harry realized that this child resembled his mother so much as he had in a way inherited that ability from his mother.

In the arms of an unknown, the child was supposed to cry but he didn't, like he knew in whose arms he was, like he knew the person who was carrying him entirely. And then the baby gave his spectacular toothless smile to Harry.

"I supposed he would cry when you took him out of his crib." Ginny said standing behind the door.
"No he won't.. I'M HIS GOD FATHER.."

The reflection of Harry could be seen in that child. He could feel the pain that the orphan child would realize in future. The same pain through which Harry Potter had passed. But Edward was smiling, incognizant about the reality,incognizant about the bitter truth that his mother and father had gone far away and he could never even take a glimpse of them. But the shine in his eyes had spoken the other truth.The nerve in his eyes was visible to Harry, like the child was strong enough to deal with the emotions. Like he knew for what root his mother and father left him all alone, like he knew they left to give him a burnish world to live and that's why the child was smiling and only smiling.
"Take care of yourself and your grandma, okay bravey??" Harry muttered, kissed the forehead of the child and put him back in his crib. Mrs Tonks and Ginny were standing behind, watching Harry behaving like a real God father.
"It's quite late Mrs Tonks, I think we should leave now." Harry said.
"God bless you Potter." Mrs tonks brushed his hairs.
"Take care.." Harry uttered.
"Oh dear, I think you already gave the job to Teddy to take care of me, isn't it? Mrs Tonks smiled.
"One day he'll be just like his mother and father." Harry said with a grin on his face.
