Hadrian's POV
"Use your magic to shield yourself, Teddy. If you can't, I won't send you to Harry today." She said as she pointed her wand at Teddy and said, "Rictusempra."

The laughing charm is not harmful, but when held for too long, the person loses his breath and falls unconscious, and slowly, his heart stops beating.

I disarmed Andromeda and picked Teddy up. Fred and George had their wands pointed at Andromeda after stunning her for a moment.

Teddy panicked when he was picked up, but when he noticed that it was me, he hugged me like I was his lifeline.

I kept patting him until he calmed down. "Floo Amelia and ask her to come here." I said to Fred.

He nodded and floo called Amelia. When she answered, he asked her to come here with another auror.

Amelia arrived a few minutes later. "Harry, what happened?" She asked.

"Andromeda had to drop Teddy with me today after an hour. Since I came to the ministry, I thought I would pick him up as well. But when I came here, I saw Andromeda casting the laughing charm on Teddy and holding it for a long time. My godson was in tears because his stomach was hurting with all the laughing. I would like to press charge on her for hurting my godson and the Heir to the Lupin line." I said.

Amelia nodded and asked the auror who came with her to take Andromeda into custody. "You will be given full custody of your godson. Come to the ministry and sign a few documents. Your mates can sign as well." She said with a smile.

Fred and George smiled and nodded.

She flooed back to her office to collect the papers and be ready.

"What do you say about living with me from now on, Teddy? Does that sound good?" I asked my almost two-year-old godson.

He smiled and nodded.

I wiped the tears off of his face and took a clean cloth and wiped his face so that the dried tear stains would be gone.

"Shall we go the ministry then?" I asked.

Teddy nodded his head.

Fred flooed first. Then I went in with Teddy in my arms. George flooed into Amelia's office at the last.

"Come here. Take a seat and sign these documents. You would have to come for the hearing tomorrow, but with the way he is clutching you, it is clear that he is safer with you than anywhere else." Amelia said.

I nodded and shifted Teddy to my left hand so that I could sign the documents. Then I passed them to Fred, who signed them and gave them to George.

After we signed the documents, we thanked Amelia and flooed back home.

When we came out from the floo, Remus and Sirius were up on their feet and walked to us.

Remus saw Teddy's red eyes and asked, "What happened? Why did he cry?"

George explained what had happened.

"How could she do that to her grandson?" Remus asked.

"I don't know. Fred, George, and I have custody of Teddy now. After the trial, there will be an official announcement." I said.

"Do you know who I am, Teddy?" Fred asked. Teddy shook his head. "I am Fred, and he is George." He said, pointing at George.

"We could be considered your godfathers as well since we would marry Hades soon." George said.

"Hades?" Teddy asked, after slightly tilting his head in confusion.

"Yes. It is Harry's new name. Do you like it?" They asked.

Teddy nodded. "Cool." He said.

"Thank you, champ." I said.

"We know. We made that name." My twins said with goofy smiles on their faces.

"Teddy, would you like to meet your father?" I asked.

"Papa?" Teddy asked.

"Yes, Teddy. Your Papa. Would you like to meet him?" I asked.

Teddy nodded, albeit hesitantly.

I walked to Remus, who had walked back to the couch with Sirius, making plans on how to destroy Andromeda's good name.

When Remus saw me walking to him, he got up and slowly waved his hand at Teddy.

Teddy had only seen Remus in photographs, so seeing the real Remus, he was a little scared.

"Don't worry, champ. He is your papa. He won't hurt you. You know I won't let anyone hurt you, right?" I said. He nodded. "Then, try saying something to your papa. I know you are scared, so I won't give you to him, you can stay in my arms." I said.

We heard a growl come from Remus. Dad was on his feet and ready to throw a curse at Remus if he attacked me. Sirius had a death grip on Remus' arm. Fred and George had taken their wands out and were on high alert.

Teddy got scared because of the growl and hugged me tight, not looking anywhere, and hid his face in my chest.

"Shh. It's alright. Calm down, Teddy. I am right here. I am not going anywhere. Shh. It's alright. It's alright." I whispered to Teddy while stroking his hair. When he calmed down enough, I looked at Remus. His eyes were amber. His wolf wanted to hold Teddy.

"That is enough, Moony. You are scaring your son, your cub. Stop growling. He is scared of such sounds." I said.

Moony stopped growling. His eyes were still amber, though.

"You have to understand that Teddy is seeing you for the first time after a year. He has seen Remus only in pictures. He would be scared. That is natural. You have to calm down and let Remus be in control. Give him some time and he will come to you." I said softly, stroking his cheeks.

The eyes slowly turned brown. "Welcome back, Remmy." I said.

"How? How did you calm him down?" Remus asked.

"Knocked some sense into his head, I guess. Besides, he would never hurt his cubs." I said with a smile.

"Teddy, could you try again. There won't be any scary sounds now." I said.

Teddy slowly released his grip on my robes and looked at me. When I nodded and gave him some encouragement, he turned to Remus and waved his hand.
