Road to...Love

Realization

(EDITED)

The four of them reached Burrow to find teddy playing in his crib.
"Hey little one.. missed me" said Ginny taking him in her arms.

On the part of Harry, he was a bit disturbed. Somewhere the fear of loosing her, forever, encircled him.

He straight away moved up to his room and Ron and Hermione exchanged glances. Ginny noticed this but didn't understand what caused him to act as such.

Soon teddy started yawning in Ginny's arm. "Mum. I'm taking Teddy up to my room. He is feeling sleepy" said Ginny and moved up the stairs.

She opened the door to find Harry sitting on his bed.
"Hey" she said lightly but Harry just nodded.

She looked at him suspiciously but couldn't get what happened.
She pat Teddy to sleep and then put him on her bed.

"Harry you're here right? Please keep an eye on him. He is asleep" said Ginny and waited for his response.

Harry looked at her once and then nodded to her.
"What happened?? Everything alright?? asked Ginny sitting beside him, "You look lost".

"No I am fine" said Harry shortly.

"Doubts could be cleared if you have any" said Ginny after releasing a sigh.

"Dean...??"

Ginny smiled. Harry didn't need to continue. She understood, or she already assumed.

"I met him there Harry. It was just a mere coincidence. I went to the shop to get you all pastries and he suddenly appeared. Yeah I had a relationship with him, but then he is our friend" said Ginny and Harry sort of relaxed.

Harry nodded and said "sorry" to which Ginny said, "If you ever have a question, just ask rather than resolving things in your mind".

"Did you notice Draco Malfoy was there??" Asked Harry and Ginny got slightly tensed which fortunately went unnoticed by Harry.

"Was he? I didn't spot that ferret" said Ginny gulping which made Harry giggle.

"How come? He got out of Madame Puddifoot's shop" asked Harry.

"Oh Come on Harry I was there to buy pastries, not to check who was there, who was not" said Ginny rather loudly.

As Ginny spoke in a loud tone, Teddy started stirring in his sleep.
"Oh.." Ginny whispered.
She patted him, but Teddy broke into a shrill cry.

"What happened suddenly?" Asked Harry kneeling down in front of the bed.

"I don't know, I was patting him and suddenly..." Ginny spoke with an air of uncertainty. Teddy cried out loud.

Ginny took him in her arms and rocked him, but he still didn't stop. He cried more loudly.

"Uh what to do??" Asked Ginny looking at Harry in confusion who is staring at them sitting at the floor.

"I.. don't... know.." said Harry raising his hands in air. He stood up went to Ginny, "allow me" said Harry and took Teddy from her.

He then rocked Teddy, giving him long strides, when suddenly Teddy struggled and he slipped off Harry's hands.
"Teddy!!!" Ginny shrieked and hopped a step to hold Teddy.
Both Harry and Ginny held Teddy in time.

Harry brought Teddy to his chest and sank on the edge of the bed, "I am sorry... I am sorry... I am sorry..." Harry started ranting.
As Harry pressed Teddy to his chest his crying voices got faded.
