The night the newest edition to the family was born – Teddy stayed at Hogwarts even as Lily, James, Sirius, Harry and Ginny flocked to the hospital. He hadn't gotten comfortable in his home with his parents before he went back to Hogwarts and then he stayed there (as Head Boy he was proud to say) during Christmas and Easter. He stopped acting out though finally coming to terms with all his godfather had been through after many deep chats with the two who had been with him.

It was a long night but eventually Dora gave birth to a beautiful little girl that they named Louisa Andi and named Lily, James and Ginny godparents. Lily cried and hugged her son tightly.

Harry had adjusted easily to his parents being back in comparison to his godson. He was older perhaps was the reason. They were more friends than anything – at least frienships he was far more respectful too. They didn't mind the relationship: it was better than none.

"She's beautiful, Dora, she really is," James smiled at his old friends wife and she beamed back in return still bubbling even in her exhasition.

"Teddy?" she asked looking towards Harry who shook his head and looked at floor.

"I told him," Harry assured them, "but he didn't respond – Vikky got back though, said he wasn't coming…. Sorry."

Dora deflated slightly – she wanted to see her boy hold his sister. Remus frowned.

"I'm going to go up there," he told his wife. "See if I can convince him."

With that Remus strode out the room feeling glad he'd applied and got that teaching job at Hogwarts so he could just go and have a chat with his son.

It was a while but eventually Remus returned with the teen following along behind him – his turquoise hair a tad less vibrant than normal.

"Hi, Mum," he smiled wearily. "How you feeling?"

She beamed at him response, gesturing him closer, "better now you're here! Now come see your sister!"

Teddy felt a wave a guilt wash over him and shuffled over to the bed to look at the ting creature in his mum's arms.

"Pretty," he muttered smiling at her. "What did you call her?"

"Louisa –"

"Louisa Lupin?" Teddy questioned with a little laugh. "That's just cruel!"

"Teddy," Remus groaned but Dora continued smiling.

The rest of the well wishers had snuck back out into the waiting room. With Ginny and Lily on a hunt for coffee, Harry, James and Sirius sat down to wait.

"You and Mum not going to try catch up with them, are you?" Harry joked and James shot him a look.

"Hate to tell you, kid," he chuckled, "but you're it for us."

"You don't regret –"

"Of course, we regret not getting to see you grow up," James cut him off, "and yes I would love to get to actually be a dad and not just have my son jump from 1 to 30 in, literally for me, no time at all. But, nah, me and your mum have agreed we would have kids now."

Harry frowned and bumped his dad gently on the shoulder feeling that he was missing out on what a great feeling it was to actually raise your children.

"Besides," James continued after a few minutes, "we can just kidnap yours!"

Harry laughed and James grinned proudly at the sound. Sirius groaned for them to shut up so he could get some 'shut eye'.

"Not for long – we'll only have Lily at home after September," he reminded his father though he wasn't too keen on sending his younger son off to Hogwarts. James Sirius had been bursting to go and to cause some havoc for the teachers but Albus was more nervous and quiet about it – no doubt due to James teasing about animals and ghosts that were there to eat him.

"If you get bored, come over to ours," Lily's voice sounded from behind him and he spun around. "You leave your poor old parents alone far too often, Harry."

"You're not old, Mum," Harry chuckled as the ward door opened and Teddy appeared. "Hey, kid."

Hundreds of people had come back over the time of Dora's pregnancy and by Harry's approximation – you could never be too sure how many people died at the hands of Voldemort or his Death Eaters – everyone had returned now. That should be the end of it. The Department that had been working on the why everyone was coming back had come up with nothing – that's for future witches and wizards to discover though they believed it had something to do with Haryy being 17 at the time of his death and it was just before the 17th anniversairy of the Battle of Hogwarts that people began returning. Either way, the wizarding world had settled back into peace even if Teddy Remus Lupin spent more nights at his godfathers than he did at his own parents.

There we go! I just let the story flow where it wanted and apparently having Teddy not fit back in with his parents was where it wanted to go. The story went away from the original Potter fluff it was meant to be but ah well. I hope you like the story and hope I didn't miss anything out during my editing like typo's but, lets be honest here, I problem did especially since my spell checker turned off halfway through the document.

Sorry I didn't give an explanation of why they've come back but truthfully I don't have one!

Thank you SO much to anyone who stuck with this the whole way even though it's taken me such a long time to write this. Congratulations to you Jhope it was worth the wait!

Please review.

I now have to upload this lot – this is going to be fun! xx
