Hadrian's POV
When Teddy turned around to see what we were seeing, he saw the report we were holding.

"Harry, who is my soulmate?" He asked.

"I don't know, Teddy. Your soulmate is not born yet. So, the magic doesn't know their name." I said.

He nodded.

"Teddy, there are blocks on your magic. The old man who came to train you has put some bad things on you and your magic. We have to take them off, or it will hurt you in the future." I said as I looked at him.

"Will you be there?" He asked.

"He can be with you, Heir Lupin. He is your guardian, and you are still very young, so you would need someone you like with you during the removal of the bad things in you." Rantoul said as he walked in with three big bundles in his hand and placed them on his desk.

"Will it hurt him?" I asked.

"We will put him to sleep so that it will not hurt, but when he wakes up, he might feel weird, so we require you to be with him so that he doesn't panic." Rantoul said.

"No sleep. No sleep." Teddy shouted as he hugged me. It looks like he is scared to let go of me when we are not home.

"Then, it would hurt a lot, youngling. It is too painful for you to bear. Ask your guardian." Rantoul said.

Teddy was still hugging me tightly and mumbling about not sleeping. "Teddy, it really hurts. You have to sleep. I will be there with you. Trust me, Teddy. The moment you open your eyes; you will see me." I said as I rubbed his back.

"Promise?" He asked.

"Promise. Even when you sleep, I'll hold your hand. I won't let go." I said when he finally looked at me.

"Come with me." Rantoul said.

I followed him. Fred and George looked like they wanted to come along, so Rantoul called them as well after Teddy asked for them.

When he was put to sleep, Rantoul said, "If you insist that you hold his hand, let me warn you, you will experience the pain he has to. That is the reason we do not let anyone hold the person undergoing a purge."

I smiled at him. "I can take it. I want to know too. I want to know so that I can make the coot feel the same pain. Go ahead." I said.

"Hades, are you sure?" My twins asked.

"Yes. I would have asked for a purge for both of you, but Mortem already explained that it would be gone after your transformation. I would hold both of you the same way. I would like to know." I said with a smile.

They nodded. They knew I would not change my mind.

Rantoul started to chant in gobbledygook. After I while, I started to feel the pain. But it was not intense. But Teddy would not be able to take the pain.

20 minutes later, Rantoul stopped the chant and canceled the sleep spell on Teddy.

When he started to open his eyes, he scrunched his face in discomfort.

"I know it feels weird, Teddy. But you have to open your eyes. It will be gone in some time." I said softly.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw that I was still holding his hand. He smiled and asked for a hug as his body was still weak after the purge.

I smiled as I lifted him up and hugged him. He called for my twins, too.

They smiled as they walked to me and hugged the both of us. "Good job, Teddy. You have been really brave munchkin." They said.

"I want a prize." Teddy said.

"What about I cook all your favorite dishes for lunch and dinner today?" I asked.

Teddy nodded as he rested his head on my shoulder when Fred and George pulled back from the hug but still had their hands on his back.

We walked out of the ritual chamber and saw that James, Sirius, and Tom were in a very serious discussion.

"What are they discussing?" I asked dad as he walked to us when he saw us.

"They are planning on being connected through some link so that all of them could stay with you. Well, I plan on moving to your house. Is that okay with you?" He asked.

"I would like it very much. I have had enough of being alone at home most of the time. If all of you were around, it would feel good." I said.

My twins and Teddy nodded in agreement.

"So, Papa, Uncle Sirius, Uncle Sev, Uncle Tom, Uncle Regulus, Uncle James, and Aunt Lily would be with us?" Teddy asked.

"They will, Teddy. But you forgot about George and me. We will be staying with you as well." Fred said with a pout.

"I know you will not leave Harry. I wanted them with us, too. I like them." Teddy replied with a cheeky smile.

I could not hold it any longer. I started laughing after looking at the expression on the twins. They were out of words. Dad was also smiling as he ruffled Teddy's hair.
