Disclaimer: We do not own Harry Potter or any of its characters, places, creatures etc. that is the sole property of JK Rowling, Scholastic, and Warner Bros. We make no money for this writing, this is purely a work of fiction and any resemblances to real people are coincidental and not the intent of the authors.

Synopsis: Ten years after the Great War the wizarding world seems to be in a state of utopia, but things aren’t always what they seem.

Warnings: First of all this will contain slash for those of you who are not a fan you will be disappointed, for those of you who want it to happen now, or even in the next few chapters you also will be disappointed. This is the first book of a trilogy that Smaddox and I have mapped out already. This is not a lovey feel good story, there will be death, there will be gore, there will be foul language and most likely at least one explicit M/M sex scene. This story is not an AU in the truest sense of the word it will be DH complaint although we disregard the epilog. Please do not tell us we have our facts wrong all of the changes we have made will be explained by the end of the book. We promise.

Trilogy

Chapter Three

Ortus Dies

Two weeks after Harry was called to Hogwarts he stood dutifully next to Andromeda in Kings Cross Station. Winter Holidays had begun and that meant Teddy’s birth day was fast approaching. He had written not long after what Harry had dubbed the Percy incident asking if Theo and Lucy could come stay with them over the Holidays. Harry had been unsure if he should allow Teddy any privileges after being called to Hogwarts because of his behavior but Andromeda had insisted she was sure Teddy had learned his lesson and Harry had bowed to her authority as Teddy’s mother.

So here they were waiting patiently for not one but three children to depart the still steaming train.

“Oh Harry I do so hope Teddy and his friends will have fun at Potter Manor it is so cold and the lake had frozen over, the pitch is covered in snow. What if they are all terribly bored?” Andromeda fretted. Harry squeezed her shoulder and smiled down at her.

“I’m sure they will find things to entertain themselves, if nothing else they will have one another to keep them company. Ron, Hermione, and I never had any trouble finding things to do together.” He finished smiling at her.

“Yes, yes you are right, I suppose I’m just a bit nervous. Teddy has never brought friends to stay over before.” She muttered once again chewing her lips.

Harry smiled fondly, Andromeda was normally so calm and composed it was actually very endearing to see her so flustered about something so mundane.

Harry caught sight of a shock of black hair bouncing though the crowd of Hogwarts students that were departing, suddenly green eyes popped above the crowd for a moment as well and a cry of “There they are!” in Teddy’s boyish voice.

Andromeda tensed and patted her hair before pulling Harry forward towards the still bouncing head of her son.

“Momma!” Teddy cried as he came in to view and threw himself in to his mother’s arms. Andromeda hugged him tightly and took a deep breath.

“Welcome back Darling.” She whispered kissing his forehead and pushing him towards Harry for another hug. Harry smiled and hugged his Godson tightly for a moment. When he was done he finally got a good look at the two children standing in front of them slightly behind Teddy. One had light strawberry blond hair and honey brown eyes. Lucy, Harry noted looked remarkably like her mother. The other was taller than Teddy or Lucy with sandy blond hair and bright blue eyes, he looked like a nice boy and Harry was glad Teddy had a good group of friends.

“Well come on them.” Andromeda said shooing the three children towards the barrier. “We have a car waiting to take us to Potter Manor.”

The large black sedan Harry kept for his private use pulled up and the driver, a short balding wizard by the name of George, hopped out and opened the back door for them. Inside, the car had been magically altered to look like a limo sporting two sets of seats facing one another large enough for five people.

Theo looked appreciative and scooted in first followed by Teddy and Lucy who squealed quietly in glee at the opulence of the car.

Harry watched Andromeda smile encouragingly at the little girl and told the driver to take them home.

The manor loomed before them as the car pulled in to the front drive. Lucy was excitedly chatting to Teddy about how beautiful the grounds were while Theo smiled encouragingly and made faces at her whenever she turned to look out the window. Harry tried not to laugh and for the most part succeeded. Andromeda on the other hand let out soft giggles now and then as she watched the three children interact.

The car stopped at the door of their home and the three children immediately burst through the doors not waiting for George to open them. Andromeda let a rather loud laugh burst from her then, as she watched Teddy lead the way in to the Manor the other two following on his heels.

“They are so full of life aren’t they?” Andromeda said after her laughing fit had passed. Harry offered her his hand and helped her from the car.

“I suppose they are if that’s what you want to call it.” Harry teased taking her arm in his and walking with her in to the manor at a much more sedate pace. They had made it to the Library when Teddy followed by his friends came ripping around the corner broom in hand.

“Can we go flying?” He asked breathlessly.

Andromeda nodded and made a shooing motion with her free hand. “Of course my love, now go and have some fun.” She said kindly.

Watching the three shouting children run towards the gardens made Harry happier than he could ever remember being. Yet something felt wrong somewhere deep in his mind he felt a loss so profound it made his heart ache. I did lose my parents Harry thought sadly I didn’t know I missed them this much. He shook his head and headed to his room, he needed some quiet time.

The next day found Harry helping Andromeda levitate stacks of gifts and baked goods in to the ball room. Four large round tables sat ready for the many dinner guests Potter Manor was to accommodate.

The room gleamed in polished luster from Kreachers almost obsessive cleaning spree. The tables had been set with gold satin cloths and the best china shimmered in the morning light alongside golden cutlery. Along the northern wall a long table sat with gleaming golden candelabras awaiting the sweets and gifts that were to adorn it.

“Oh Harry Kreacher really went beyond my expectations the room looks marvelous.”Andromeda exclaimed walking to the large enchanted windows on the eastern wall. The ballroom was in the middle of the manor but from those windows you could see the entire estate. Full length satin curtains fluttered in the morning breeze coming in from an opened window. Kreacher had aired the entire room so the crisp winter air cleared the space of any imagined dankness.

Behind her the large fire roared in a giant hearth awaiting their guests’ arrival.

“It is opulent isn’t it Dromeda?” Harry replied fingering the golden dinnerware; he still had a hard time believing that all of this was his.

“Yes it’s wonderful, I am so glad we are throwing Teddy a party I think the children will enjoy it so.” She spun in a circle taking in the entire room.

“Who did you invite exactly? There are quite a few too many seats for just the Weasley’s and Kingsley.”

“Oh yes well I invited the Knotts, it seemed fitting since their son is staying here, and my sister as well as her husband are coming. I asked Neville and his lovely cousin that works for you, Minerva, Poppy, and Aberforth.”

Harry blinked in shock; he hadn’t even considered inviting half of those people. He supposed he hadn’t really been keeping up with all of the important people in their lives since his promotion.

“That sounds great; I bet Teddy is going to love it.” Harry smiled at Andromeda widely to hide his discomfort in realizing he had been neglecting his friends.

Suddenly the fire blazed green before them and the first of the Weasley’s stumbled in to the room.

An hour later everyone except Teddy, Theo and Lucy were gathered in the Ball Room. The two children had been distracting Teddy all day while the party had been readied so that it would be a great surprise for him.

Molly Weasley was laughing loudly with Fleur, Minerva, Poppy and Narcissa over a rather hilarious scenario that Victori had found herself in. The men were clustered around one another talking Quidditch with Ginny and her pro Quidditch playing boyfriend. Harry stood smiling alongside a rather tired very pregnant Hermione.

“I do wish this child would dignify the world with her presence.” She lamented to Harry rubbing her swollen belly.

“She’ll come when she’s nice and ready Mione, with a mother like you I don’t think anyone is going to be able to make her do anything she doesn’t want to.” Harry replied kissing her forehead playfully.

“Don’t get her started Mate.” Ron warned stepping up beside his wife. “The last month has been pretty miserable.”

“I am about ready to go to St. Mungos and make them take her out.” Hermione pouted poking her stomach in mock annoyance. “Are you going to be content to stay in there forever?”

Harry laughed but stopped abruptly when the voice of Theo could be heard outside.

“Come on Ted don’t be a wanker, if Lucy wants to see the ballroom again lets see it!”

“There is nothing in there Luce.” Teddy’s voice whined.

“I think it’s an exceptionally beautiful room Theodore.”

“Oh don’t call me that we’ll never know who you’re talking to.” Teddy complained.

The voices were getting progressively louder and Harry hushed everyone in anticipation of Teddy’s arrival.

“Well it’s certainly not my fault that you chose to associate with another boy with your same name.”

“Guh fine come on let’s see the Ball Room again so we can get back to our chess game.”

The doors to the room flew open then and Teddy stood dumb struck where they once were.

“Surprise!” The entire room cried throwing themselves forward to hug, kiss and generally congratulate Teddy for yet another successful year of life.
