After the war

Chapter 1: Teddy and Harry

It's the day after the war, you might think everyone is happy and proud of Harry but they weren't. Everyone was in grief for Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, Tonks, Ron even felt sad for his ex-girlfriend Lavender Brown. They didn't blame Harry of course but they were in too much grief for the lives they had lost. Harry couldn't take it either. He went to the leaky cauldron, speaking absolutely no words to anyone leaving the Weasleys all crying next to Fred's body and Ron sitting on a bench crying while Hermione comforting him. He took a shower and cried while doing so. Memories of all his loved ones passing, the abuse he went through, Voldemort, everything taunting him. Harry sat about an hour in the shower before remembering his now responsibility. He rushed out of the shower and sprinted to the bedroom, putting on his still dusty dirty pants. He was in so much shock of everything that has happened he forgot Teddy Lupin. Lupin and Tonks named Harry the godfather before passing and Harry thought he was already failing them! Harry apparated to Godric's hallow where the Lupins house was and opened the door with "alohamora". Harry took a deep breath before entering the empty sad house in the now destroyed street, Harry went to the little boys room only to see him crying and screaming so hard, diaper full and his stomach hurting from the fear of all the explosions. Harry didn't know what to do, he wasn't ready to be a father but he walked toward the boy and carried him only to feel the heavy, full diaper and took him to the bathroom. He took a diaper from beside the changing table and took him to the bathroom beside the room, took of all his clothes and diaper earning a little more relaxation in the boy's cry. Harry bathed the boy and left him only in a shirt and a diaper since it was too hot for the boy, he then warmed some milk and poured it in the boys powdered food making it a now saucy texture. Teddy didn't hesitate eating it nor did he finishing it after that he burped on Harry's naked shoulder. Harry laid Teddy down for a much needed nap and walked over to take yet another bath and find something to wear in Remus's room, there's so much he needed to do even tho he wasn't ready to do anything. The baby sat in his crib, tears streaming down his face, he was tired and sad but Harry didn't notice. Harry got out of the bath and wore Remus's brown shirt and black pants that he had found in his wardrobe. He went back to check in what he thought was his sleeping baby only to realize that Teddy was crying while hugging he lion stuffed animal. He carried the boy out of his crib and laid him on his shoulder, 2 minutes later before facing Teddy and asking softly "Hey Teddy, what's wrong" in a soft voice
"Bad pepow" Teddy said softly in a sad voice
"What bad people?" Harry had an idea of what Teddy was on about
"Bad pepow make boom boom" Teddy said
Teddy was clearly talking about the explosions that had happened earlier today and late yesterday that was created by death eaters. "Thank god there was wards around the house" Harry thought.
"No more bad people to make boom boom, Teddy don't worry" Harry said hugging the crying boy.
"Tummy hurt" said Teddy
"Okay baby, me dada will make it better"
Harry said laying the boy back on his shoulder, harry thought that if he's gonna raise the one year old, might as well get him to get used to him. He was too tired for the big talk so he decided to give small hints before. Harry just searched for a dreamless sleep and a stomach soother potion in the small cabinet which he found. He mixed the both and practically begged Teddy to swallow it.
"Teddy come on, it'll help you better, I promise!"
Teddy was hesitating but then looked at his future dad with pain in his eyes and allowed Harry to basically force it down his throat. He grimaced and Harry got a water for him to swallow the disgusting potions with" Teddy was already starting to feel better while Harry put him down on the counter so he could cut up little pieces of a banana for Teddy to eat so that the potions taste wold go away. Teddy chewed the little banana pieces with his gum and put his hands up in the air for Harry to carry him which he did. Harry switched the living rooms night on and sat on the couch, opened a cartoon for the baby in his arms and stared into the ceiling overthinking everything. After a small
while of laughing from Teddy, they both fell asleep.
