Chapter 8: Meet Harry's Friend
"If you're going to drip your disgusting nose at my table, shove off!" Ted snapped coldly.
Andrew bolted out of the dining room, glad to have permission to get of out Ted's sight. He had just asked Ted why he couldn't have yummy food like Ted. Ted told him that only working men got good food because they earned it. He said Andrew was useless and didn't deserve anything.
Andrew hurried into his new room. The one Ted said that would be his while he stayed here. Mummy wasn't here with him though. He missed Mummy. He missed her a lot. Why can't he go live with Mummy? Why did he have to stay here with Ted? Ted wasn't nice. He hated Andrew. He thought Andrew acted too much like a baby, and he didn't like it when Andrew whined or cried.
Andrew crept under the bed, finding it comforting enough to silently cry himself to sleep.
"Hey." Someone shook Andrew awake. With difficulty, Andrew turned over to see Ted's son, Langston. Langston was nice to Andrew and even let him watch the telly when Ted wasn't home. Langston had blonde hair like his dad, only Langston's hair came down to his shoulders, where Ted kept his short.
"I brought you something." Langston whispered so he wouldn't wake his father who would be mad if he did. Ted would also be mad if he found out Langston was sneaking Andrew biscuits in the middle of the night. Andrew saw what happened when Ted was mad. He didn't want Ted mad.
"Can I see my Mummy now?" Andrew whispered, holding the biscuit in his hand and looking at it.
"Dad said he might take you tomorrow, but don't count on it. Remember last time?"
Andrew nodded. Ted said he had been too tired to drive Andrew to Mummy. Langston told him that it was really because Ted just didn't want to take him to see her though.
"If I could drive, I would take you." Langston said with a sigh. "Twelve year olds aren't allowed to drive though." Langston walked to the door. "I better leave before Dad catches me in here. Hang in there, Squirt. Eight months is not as long as you think."

Andrew was enjoying his time living with Daddy and Remus. They played with him, showed him magic tricks, and they never yelled at him.
Andrew did find it strange when he saw Daddy kiss Remus, but he didn't ask why he did it. Andrew had never seen a man kiss another man before. The telly said it was wrong, but Andrew didn't know why for. Both his father and Remus seemed happy with each other, so how could that be bad? Andrew didn't think his Daddy was bad. Remus wasn't bad either. The telly was wrong, Andrew had decided.
He had asked about Remus' scars though, unable to keep the question to himself. "Did someone hurt you?" He had traced his fingers thoughtfully along Remus' scarred hand the previous night.
Remus and Daddy looked at each other in silence for a few moments before Remus had replied, "A long time ago, yes."
"I'm sorry." The boy had whispered and hugged Remus to make him feel better.
"Don't be, you've done nothing but bring me joy."
"And me too, Andrew." Daddy had said as the two tucked him in. "You're the best little boy a dad can ask for."
"And you're the best dad in the world." Andrew had said. "I love you, Daddy and Remus." His eyes had closed then as he drifted off to sleep, a smile spread across his lips.
"Want to see Harry today, Andrew?" Remus asked on his fifth day of living at his new home.
Andrew nodded. He still didn't talk a whole lot. It was hard to break the habit, but he did speak more now than before since he wouldn't get in trouble for doing it.
Remus was making breakfast as he did every morning. And Daddy was dressing his hair like he did every morning. Andrew didn't know why Daddy spent so much time on his hair, but maybe that is because it was long and bushy like the rock stars bands on the telly. Langston, who always watched the music videos said that some guys spent as much time and money on their hair as women did.
"Hello, young Andrew." Kreacher greeted him as he came into the kitchen to once again offer to help Remus, but Remus didn't want his help.
Andrew wasn't sure why house elves were so willing to be servants. That's what Remus said Kreacher was; a servant to the House of Black- his Daddy's house. Remus said Daddy and Kreacher fought a lot. Andrew knew that already. Kreacher told Andrew that Daddy broke his mother's heart by moving out when he younger, and he turned his back on the purebloods. Andrew didn't really understand much of that, but he did know that he would never hurt his own Mummy. He loved his Mummy.
"You might also meet one of the Weasley boys. Lily mentioned that Ronnie had stayed the night over." Remus said, filling Andrew's plate up with food. "They have seven kids."
"Seven?" Andrew squeaked. That was a lot of kids.
"Yes, and they are all very nice."
Daddy came in then, whistling happily. "Morning, Smurf." He grinned as Andrew shielded his head with his hands to prevent him from messing up his hair. Daddy did that a lot.
"Hi, Moony." He went over to kiss Remus before sitting down. "Andrew, I will be gone for most of the day." He informed him, as he buttered a slice of toast.
Andrew frowned. He liked having Daddy around. "Why?"
"Because I go to school, and I have a lesson to attend. Remus will take swell care of you though. I hear he's planning to take you to Harry's."
"Kay." He still wanted to be with his Daddy, but Remus was fun too.
"When I get back, I might take you on my broom. Harry loves it. Maybe you will too."
Andrew wasn't sure that he wanted to go on a broom again; not after crashing and falling, but maybe doing it with Daddy would be different.
After breakfast, Andrew watched Daddy disappear right from the kitchen with a faint POP. "He can teleport?" He asked Remus.
"Wizards call it disaparating. It's a very hard spell to cast too. You can end up getting hurt really badly."
"Can I cast magic too?" Andrew asked as Remus cleaned his face with a damp cloth.
"Possibly." Remus answered. "Both your parents are magical, so yes, I would say you will too, but it takes time for your body to announce it."
"Mummy is magical?" Andrew asked in surprise.
Remus eyes looked away from Andrew. "Perhaps I should not have said that."
"How come she never showed me?" His bottom lip stuck out in a pout.
"I don't know, Andrew. Your mother had her reasons though, and you'll have to ask her when you see her next."
"When will I cast magic?"
Remus smiled. "Who knows, little man. Everyone is different. We'll just see when it happens."
They then went up stairs to get Andrew ready for their visit at Harry's. Andrew picked out a shirt with a hairy monster on it.
"What's that supposed to be?" Remus asked poking him in the belly and making Andrew giggle.
"It's a werewolf." Andrew answered.
Remus' eyebrows raised. "Is it now?"
"From the cereal, Wolf Treaties. They are good."
"Is he a good werewolf or a bad one?"
"This one's a good one." Andrew tapped the picture. "But Langston let me watch a film with one that ate people!" Andrew told Remus with big eyes.
Remus winced. "Who's Langston?"
"Ted's son"
"Ted?"
Andrew nodded.
"Who's Ted?" Remus asked, highly interested.
Andrew didn't answer. He wasn't allowed to talk about Ted.
"Hmm." Remus mused. "That werewolf film must have been scary."
"It's not real." Andrew said. "Werewolves aren't real."
Andrew eyed Remus who suddenly look nervous. Remus then let out a weird sound, like a laugh or a giggle, but he wasn't happy or amused.
"What's wrong?" Andrew asked.
"Nothing." Remus cleared his throat.
Andrew could tell he wasn't telling the truth, he frowned looking at Remus, wondering what he said to make him upset.
"Ready to go?" Remus smiled, and he looked like he normally would; Friendly, kind, and fun.
"Yes!" Andrew hurried ahead of him to the fireplace downstairs. This was connected to The Floo Network. It was what magical people used to travel to places, and Andrew liked it. It made his tummy tickle and jump.
He held Remus' hand as they flew past other places with a blur and stopped inside of Harry's fireplace. Andrew giggled as his insides tried to settle down.
"That's fun!" He exclaimed.
"Yes, it is." Remus led Andrew out of the Floo Network and into Harry's den. "Lily?"
"In the kitchen!" Harry's mother called. "Come in, Moony!"
Harry's house wasn't as big as Daddy's, but it was nicer, and cozier, with a lot of pretty colors like pink roses and light tans. Andrew liked Harry's house.
Harry's mother greeted Remus and Andrew as they entered the kitchen. She gave Remus a kiss on the cheek and smiled down at Andrew before giving him a big hug. Andrew liked Harry's mother; she was very nice. She also smelled good. Like lots of flowers.
"Ronnie's still here." She informed. "Him and Harry are playing in the playroom, go on and play with them. They will be excited to see that you are here."
"Kay!" Andrew said as Remus released his hand.
"No brooms, little man." Remus called back sternly.
He had nothing to worry about, Andrew didn't want to go on Harry's broom and hurt himself like last time.
Harry's playroom was big. As big as Andrew's own bedroom at Daddy's house. Maybe even bigger. Harry's playroom was painted in reds and golds. Harry told him that that was because it was Gyffindor colors. Andrew didn't know what Gryffindor was, but Harry said his mummy and daddy were each a Gryffindor. So was Andrew's daddy and Remus was one too. Harry said he would be a Gryffindor like his own daddy. Whatever it was, it had to be good, and Andrew wanted to be one too.
Harry and another boy with red hair were on the floor playing a board game when Andrew stepped shyly into the room.
"He's here!" Harry jumped up at the sight of Andrew. "Andrew's here, Ronnie! Come on!" Him and Ronnie stood up and hurried to Andrew.
"I'm Ronnie." The red head said with a huge grin. "Harry says you're a lot of fun. I heard about your first broom flying though, that crash sounded awful!"
Andrew nodded.
"We were playing Toad Squares, want to play with us?" Harry offered, gesturing to the game they were previously at.
"I don't know how to play."
"We'll show ya!" Ronnie said. He and Harry lead Andrew to their game.
There were a bunch of two colored toads. Gold ones and red ones. Like in most board games, one player had one color, and the other had another.
"You take turns moving your toad one square at a time in diagonal," Ronnie explained as they demonstrated for Andrew. "And I can jump Harry's toad now."
Andrew realized Toad Squares were very much like Checkers. This game was much more fun though. Like Wizard's Chess, the toads were animated and they really hopped. They would croak unhappily as they got jumped over and captured. And when the toads got 'kinged', a cape and crown magically appeared, making the toad look much more charming.
"Ginny kissed one of these the other day." Ronnie said with a giggle.
"Ew!" Harry shrieked. "Why?"
"She thought it would change into a prince."
Harry wrinkled his nose. "I am happy I don't have a sister."
"I like Ginny better than any of my brothers. Fred and George most. They tease me all the time. You're lucky you don't have a brother."
"Well, if you were my brother, that would be fun."
"Oh, we would have lots of fun then!" Ronnie then turned to Andrew. "Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
Andrew shook his head.
Ronnie pouted. "I am the only kid that I know who has any."
"It's boring sometimes." Harry said. "Right, Andrew?"
"Not anymore. Now that I live with Daddy and Remus."
"Uncle Sirius and Uncle Remus are lots of fun." Harry said.
Ronnie nodded to that. "Your Dad's fun too, Harry."
"Yep!"
"What about your dad?" Andrew asked Ronnie.
"My dad is fun too! He showed me something that he said was a toaster the other day. It burst up into flames!" Ronnie laughed.
"What's a toaster?" Harry asked.
"I don't know really, Dad was trying to figure that out too."
Andrew was shocked they didn't know what a toaster was, but after a thought, he realized magical people didn't need them. All Remus did was point his magical wand at a slice of bread and a fire appeared then quickly vanished when the bread was brown.
"It cooks bread." Andrew explained.
"But there's wands for that." Ronnie said.
"People with no magic can't use wands."
"Oh, I forgot. How do you know about muggle stuff?" Ronnie asked curiously.
Andrew shyly put his hands behind his back. "I'm from the place that don't have magic."
"His Mummy's a muggle, I think." Harry told Ronnie.
"No!" Andrew said, slightly offended. "Remus said my Mummy is magical too!"
The other boys looked at Andrew oddly. "Then why are you from the Muggle world?" Ronnie asked.
Andrew didn't know the answer of that either.
