Author's note: I screwed up my first four exams even after all the studying I did ... Wonderful. Ah well, can only do my best for the rest ...
Thanks to the following reviewers: unneeded (sorry for the weird sentences); StarrCrystal; Madamdragon; Claudia; SP777 (Well, I think Teddy has that particular hair colour in the story somewhere but I'm not sure. I could fit it into the sequel though as some kind of flashback); moodysavage; Rachel and bcjink (well, that particular scene with Andromeda will happen too)
I hope you'll enjoy this chapter! It has some Teddy and Scorpius bonding moments :)
Chapter 16
"Do you think daddy will like papa like papa likes daddy?" Scorpius asked Teddy, who had trouble at first with understanding the question.
He wanted to snap at the boy to leave him alone, so he could read his book. Then remembering the promise he made to his dad, he took a deep breath and replied, "I don't know Scorpius, but dad told me he liked your dad, so there is a chance."
Scorpius clapped his hands, obviously excited to hear that. "That would be so great! I want to see papa happy again."
You're not the only one, Teddy thought.
Snape appeared in the doorway. "Since your dear father decided to give me the honor of looking after you two, I expect that there won't be too many problems. I don't care what you two are going to do, as long as you stay in the house and nothing gets damaged. I myself, will be working on some papers. Try to be calm and not disturb me unless it's urgent. Understood?" Snape said sternly.
"Yes, uncle Sev." Two voices chorused.
"Good." Snape nodded brusquely and walked away.
Not wanting to disturb his new 'brother' (because that's what he was going to be, Scorpius was sure of that), Scorpius left the living room. He went up to his bedroom deciding to play with his toys until his daddy and papa came back.
Two hours later, Snape sent Teddy to get Scorpius so that they could have their snack. When Teddy arrived at Scorpius' bedroom, he noticed that the door was slightly open. He wanted to tell the young boy to come downstairs for their snack when he heard the boy mumbling. Curiously he hid behind the door and listened.
"And when daddy likes papa too, then they're going to get married and they get a baby." Scorpius babbled and Teddy saw he was talking to a teddy bear.
"Daddy will look pretty with a belly, don't you think, Minnie? We're going to be a family: me, daddy, papa, Teddy and the baby. It's going to be great! I hope daddy gets a baby quick. Do you think that if I ask for a little brother or little sister for my birthday that daddy will get a baby? Mommy says the baby has to stay for nine months in the belly – that's a long time, I think. I don't know how the baby gets in the belly."
Teddy could see Scorpius frowning and then he shook his head.
"Doesn't matter; I think I can wait nine months. That's the last thing on my list, so I have to wait cause I can't cross that out until the baby is here." Scorpius brought the bear to his face until his lips were at the bear's ear. "I hid the list under my pillow, but it's a secret. You can't tell papa that you know about the list, okay, Minnie? Oh, I have to go to the bathroom. Wait here, Minnie." Scorpius placed the bear on his little chair and toddled over to the other door in his room.
As soon as Teddy heard the door close, he ran into the room, straight to Scorpius' bed, searching for the 'list'.
What had Scorpius been talking about? What was this list? And what had the list to do with his dad? For that matter, why was that boy talking as if Teddy's dad could get pregnant? Only girls could get pregnant, right?
He raised the pillow and found a piece of folded paper. He threw the pillow away where it hit the bed with a soft 'thump' and opened the paper. He could do nothing but stare at it when he read what was on the list.
My second daddy has to be:
Nice
Sweet
He has to cook good
Pretty
He has to play with me
Funny
He has to give me a brother or sister
The first six things were crossed out. Teddy blinked and gaped. Why had Scorpius written this kind of list?
A gasp startled him and he dropped the paper. Scorpius ran to the bed and picked up the paper and clutched it to his chest. His wide grey eyes stared nervously at Teddy.
"Teddy, it's not nice to read papers that aren't yours." Scorpius tried to scold him, but his trembling voice ruined the intended effect.
"Why did you write such a list in the first place? And what has my dad to do with your list?" Teddy asked angrily.
Scorpius looked nervously at his closed door. He didn't want his uncle to find out about the list. "I – I just want to have a real family." He muttered softly, his eyes staring at the floor.
Whatever Teddy had expected to hear, this wasn't it. He stared dumbfounded at the younger boy in front of him.
"What?"
"Mummy left papa when I was four; she said it was 'cause papa only loves men." Scorpius started to explain softly. "So, I wanted to help papa find a man he loves and I made up a list with the things my other daddy needs to have. Daddy has all these things and that's why papa likes him. Now they have to marry and get a baby and then my list can go away, cause I have a family then."
"So, saying they had to kiss and all that stuff was because you wanted my dad to like your dad?" Teddy asked confused.
Scorpius nodded ashamed and bit on his lower lip. "Are you mad at me?"
Teddy sighed and looked away. Was he mad at Scorpius? He should be, but he wasn't. After all, he knew how it felt to want a real family. He was happy with Harry alone and wouldn't wish for something else, but there were times when he thought about how his life could have been if his parents hadn't died. If he still had a mum and a dad, like all the other kids in his former class.
As a matter of fact, when he had first entered the school, he had been teased with the fact that he didn't have two parents like the rest had. But when the children saw that the Harry Potter came to pick him up at the end of the school day and that Harry was his family, the teasing had stopped because they hadn't expected for him to have such a famous parent. Teddy learned early in life that not all people wanted to be friends with him because of him, but because that way they could get closer to Harry.
Should he be mad at a boy that wanted to have the same thing as him? Just like Teddy, Scorpius just wanted to have a family and he had chosen Harry for that. And if Teddy had to go by the looks that his dad and Draco shared when they thought the boys weren't looking, he was fairly certain that they both would get what they wanted.
Teddy sighed again. "No, I'm not mad at you; it's nice that you wanted to make your dad happy, though I think you went overboard sometimes with what you did."
Scorpius looked confused and relieved at the same time. "What did I do wrong?"
"I think you annoyed your dad with all the pictures you made." Teddy smiled weakly.
"I just wanted to show papa that we could be a family." Scorpius blushed.
Teddy shook his head, but smiled. "Well, we will know tonight if you succeeded."
Scorpius bit on his lower lip and nodded.
Both boys jumped three feet in the air when Snape shouted, "GET DOWNSTAIRS NOW BEFORE I COME UPSTAIRS!"
They looked at each other and laughed nervously before dashing downstairs to eat their snacks.
After they had eaten their snacks, Scorpius went back to his room, intent on building Hogwarts again.
Teddy bit on his lip hesitantly, but decided that seeing as they were now a family, he should give Scorpius an honest chance. Who knew, maybe he would like him as a little brother.
Scorpius looked up surprised when he saw Teddy standing in front of him and his building blocks.
"Do you mind if I help you build Hogwarts?" Teddy asked softly.
Scorpius beamed; Teddy finally wanted to play with him! He wasn't stupid, he had known that Teddy hadn't liked him. He had ignored all the glares and the snide remarks and comments of the boy, because he had focused on his daddy instead. But it had still hurt him whenever Teddy had shown he didn't like him. "You can start with building the towers, Teddy." Scorpius chirped.
Teddy smiled and settled down next to the little blond boy.
After they had built Hogwarts, they started on building a small town. They were so busy and so engrossed in their building work, that they never saw Severus standing in the doorway, looking at them with a raised eyebrow and a bemused look on his face.
Well, at least they don't cause trouble, he thought dryly and turned around and closed the door softly. Although he would still keep an eye on Teddy; he boy was after all a Lupin, a son of a Marauder, and the godson of the son of one of the Marauders. Not a very good combination and Snape winced when he thought about the fact that one day, Teddy Lupin would go to Hogwarts too and probably cause troubles there.
Like father, like son, he thought darkly when he settled back behind his paper work. Thank Merlin I won't be the one who has to deal with him.
He paused in his work when he remembered that he had promised Draco he would be teaching Scorpius and Teddy, starting next Monday. He glared at the white wall across of him, as if the wall was to blame for his predicament.
Those boys better behave or I'll show Draco and Potter that they still have reason to fear me, he thought grimly.
It was nearly seven p.m. when Scorpius started to get restless. He and Teddy had finished building Hogwarts and a part of Hogsmead a few hours ago and Severus had made sure they had eaten dinner an hour ago.
It had taken all of Severus' patience to not lash out when Scorpius had managed to spill all his soup over himself. He had merely gritted his teeth and sent a house elf to clean him up in the bathroom.
Scorpius had meekly apologized (uncle Sev was scary when he was angry) and Snape had merely nodded to him to eat further. Scorpius was sure that this meant that his uncle had forgiven him.
After dinner had ended, their uncle had gone back to his work and Scorpius had followed Teddy to one of their playrooms that coincidentally looked out at the gate, which meant he would see his daddy and his papa when they arrived home. He hoped that his papa had convinced his daddy to like him too.
Scorpius went to one of the large windows and climbed on the windowsill. He had wanted to play a bit more with Teddy, but Teddy had wanted to read one of his books. Scorpius figured that he shouldn't make Teddy angry now that he had made progress with the boy and had left him alone in one of the big fluffy chairs in front of the fireplace. The house elves had lit the fire so that it spread a nice soft glow through the room and it was comfortable warm.
It was getting dark outside; the sun was setting and it spread a soft orange glow over the grass field in front of the manor.
Scorpius began to fidget and shifted back and forth on the windowsill; he was getting impatient. What were his papa and his daddy doing?
He pressed his little hands against the cold glass and squinted to look at the gate. His grey eyes lit up when he saw two familiar figures appearing at the gate.
He grew excited when he saw his papa holding hands with daddy. Did this mean that they were a family now?
"Teddy, look! Papa and Daddy are back! They're holding hands!" Scorpius said excitedly. His whole body was trembling with excitement.
Teddy looked up from his book when Scorpius called him and he stood up and walked to the window. From their position at the window they could watch Draco and Harry when they stopped on the porch.
Teddy saw Draco stopping his dad with a hand on his chest. His dad looked up confused. Draco said something and bent down a bit to … kiss his dad. Teddy blinked when he saw his dad putting his arms around Draco's neck and he kissed him back.
Well, that answers my question: dad does like Draco, Teddy thought and a small smile appeared on his face.
He shook his head smiling when Scorpius clapped excitedly next to him.
It will be nice to have a real family, he thought.
