July 2010
Charlie and Blaisé took Teddy aside at Harry's birthday and his and Draco's anniversary party, "Guess what…"
Teddy grinned, "What…"
Charlie ruffled his hair, "Guess who is going to be at Hogwarts with you…"
Teddy bounced, "Who…"
Blaisé smirked, "Us, I've been the Transfiguration professor for a while, your uncle Charlie is the gamekeeper, Care of Magical Creatures instructor and the Flying Instructor since you were five." he playfully glared, "No pro-Gryffindor calls."
Charlie pinched his ass, "I won't be making blatantly pro-Slytherin calls."
Blaisé growled, "Not in front of our nephew…"
Draco had overheard, he smirked, "Well Blaisé, I never would have guessed you would decide to be a teacher if you hadn't told me yourself that you'd applied all those years ago. Transfiguration? I'd forgotten that. The last two instructors were Gryffindors and became Headmaster and Headmistress, are you harboring such aspirations…"
Blaisé chuckled, "Perhaps, that would make me the youngest Headmaster in History."
Severus muttered, "You would make a more worthy one then myself." his face held a somber expression, "Narcissa and I have an announcement, it seems, she is with child."
Draco's jaw dropped in amazement.
"Yes, Draco you will be expecting a sibling. Be careful, open mouths make great fly traps."
Harry chuckled, "I was wondering when you would tell us."
Draco glared, "So that's why you wouldn't let me in your study."
Harry shrugged, "I thought your parents should tell you, though I must admit Carina Snape has a nice ring."
Narcissa's face took a soft cast, "A girl? I always hoped if I had a second child would be a girl."
Severus snorted, "Hopefully my track record with young witches will improve."
Draco chuckled, "It will be odd to have little Carina younger then Scorpius." he'd always wanted to have a sibling, now he would be too old to enjoy it.
Scorpius smiled at Grand'Mere, "I know everything will be fine, don't worry. She'll be beautiful."
Narcissa hugged him, "Thank you Scorpius, you're sweet."
Draco knew his mother hadn't lost her touch, she was just as good a grandmother as she had been a mother. He knew his sister would be lucky to have her, even more so that she would be Sev's daughter and not Lucius'.
Harry smiled, "She'll be a blessing to our little family."
Severus snorted, trying not to look pleased at their response to their news, "Another thing, Slughorn has made it quite clear he wishes to retire once more. Harry made me a request on Draco's birthday so I persuaded the old man to wait until the end of term. McGonagall has accepted my reapplication for my previous post since I have been cleared of suspicion."
Scorpius spoke up, "You will still continue to teach us correct…"
"Of course, we will make arrangements come Christmas."
Narcissa smiled up at her husband, "I finally finished my internship at St. Mungos', I'm a registered Healer and Poppy as agreed to let me assist her next spring as she wishes to retire as well."
Harry laughed, "It seems our family is taking over Hogwarts on position at a time."
September 1st, 2010
Harry and Draco escorted Teddy to Platform 9 ¾ for his first train to Hogwarts, it was the first major milestone in their son's life.
Teddy grinned, "I'll be fine dad."
Harry held out a roll of parchment, "I'm trusting you with this, it belonged to our fathers. The cloak is James and Albus' but you can enjoy this yourself. I only ask that you stay out of trouble at least until your papa and I get back from our trip."
Draco glanced at the dingy parchment, "Harry, are you sure that is wise…"
Teddy grinned, "I'll be good, have fun." he asked softly, "You think Jaime will be okay without me? We haven't really been separated before."
Draco patted their eldest's back, "He'll be fine, your grandfather will give him so much work he'll think he is already a student and he still has two years to wait." Teddy was eleven, James was nine, Scorpius, Albus and Lily were about six. They were certainly old enough to be without their parents for a few weeks. It would the longest they would be separated from their children. James still at nine ran around like Teddy's shadow, perhaps the separation would help James' confidence. Protective older brother he maybe but James still had some growing up to do, Draco hoped their absence would help with that.
Harry was eager to be off, he'd let Draco plan their vacation because Draco knew more about such things then he did.
Teddy smiled, as he hurried into the train, "Have fun, don't forget about us."
Draco reached for Harry's hand, "We won't." smirking at Teddy's cheeky behavior, he was the first of the 'Weasley clan' to enter Hogwarts. "Say hello to Neville for us."
Harry called out, "Be respectful to your Aunt Hermione, say hi to your uncles Charlie and Blaisé."
"Will do. Bye."
Draco chuckled, "I wish his parents could see him, they would be proud." he had to admit that Professor Lupin was perhaps one of their most intelligent DADA teachers besides Sev.
