Chapter 8

Draco woke early the next morning and summoned Dippy.

“Master Draco be needing Dippy?”

“I want you to go to Lavender Vale. Miss Andromeda will be needing held. You will treat her with just as much respect as you would mother. She can’t carry Teddy and their belongings. You will make sure their things end up in their respective rooms.”

“Dippy be serving Miss Annie just like she be Miss Cissy.”

Away she went with a pop.

Now Draco could bathe and dress for the day with a clear conscience.

XoooooX

Promptly at eleven, Andromeda flooed into Baskerville with Teddy squalling in her arms.

Harry held out his arms for his godson.

Teddy sniffed burying his face in Harry’s shirt, “Ri?”

Harry cuddled him, “Let’s show Nana you your new room, okay Teddy?”

Draco held out his arm like the gentleman mother raised him to be, “Lovely to see you Aunt Annie.”

Harry led the way upstairs to the bedrooms.

Dippy was pulling out two outfits when they arrived and set them on top of the bureau. The nappies and wipes on the changing table and the stuffed winged horse was in Teddy’s crib.

Andromeda gasped, “You did all this for Teddy?”

“I want to hire Dean Thomas to paint in here, he’s really good at painting animals.” Not wanting to hurt Andromeda’s feelings but she was a landscape painter who specialized in oils and watercolour. Oils were something she did when Teddy was in his crib, but watercolours were less toxic and she didn’t mind exposing Teddy to her work.

Andromeda smiled, her eyes shining, “This is very nice.”

“Draco helped pick this out too.” Harry murmured

Andromeda squeezed her nephew’s hand, “You did a fine job both of you.”

Draco smirked, “I hope you enjoy you room as much.” Gently guiding the imposing woman into the next room.

Andromeda was speechless at first, she hadn’t had a room like that before she was Bonded to Ted and disowned.

The bedding was clearly expensive, while the antique furniture polished and gleamed. There were fine cosmetics, silver-plated hairbrushes, combs and a mirror on the dressing table.

“You didn’t buy all this?” she gasped.

Draco shook his head, “No, just putting things that would otherwise not be needed to good use. You’re welcome to rearrange the room to suit your needs.”

Andromeda shook her head, eyes sparkling with unshared tears of gratitude. “No, it’s just fine. It’s a mite overwhelming to be honest.”

Draco leaned down to kiss her cheek, “You and Teddy are always welcome, you’re family. Merlin knows, the only family I have left so I fully intend to cherish you as well as Harry.”

Harry decided they needed a group hug.

That was how they were found when they were told that lunch was served in the Green Dinning room.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Troll?
