Tonks sat by the bed in St.Mungo's, holding her sons cold and limp hand. Teddy had been there since the start of the school term, and it was now Christmas. Nobody was too sure what happened to him; only that he wouldn't wake up, but he wasn't in a coma. He was just in a very deep sleep. It was hard to deal with it because Harry, from the future, had contacted them by using the mirror, wanting to speak to Teddy. His reaction was saddening when he saw Tonks had answered, and when he found out what happened to his godson. But he understood and left it at that.

Although Tonks was watching over her son, she wasn't alone in the hospital room. Sirius was there in his dog form, Remus, Arthur (because he was in the same unit) and Molly

Suddenly, Teddy started shaking a little, almost like a small fit. He then sat bolt upright, yelling, "NEVER WEAR A TAMPON IF YOU'RE A BOY!!"

He panted and looked around, eyes wide with fear. But when he saw who was there, and their confused but relieved faces, he calmed down and fell back onto the bed heavily.

"Teddy, are you alright?" Remus asked, stepping forward and eyeing his son with caution.

"Aye, I'm alright." Teddy yawned, running a hand through his hair.

"Why did you scream 'never wear a tamping if you're a boy'?" Tonks asked, smiling.

"Um ... nothing, i-it's nothing." Teddy laughed. "But what uh, what happened to me? Where am I?"

"You're in St.Mungo's. But as to what happened, we were hoping you could tell us." Remus said as Molly slipped out the door.

Teddy sat up and sighed. What did happen to him? Trying to remember was hard, it was all fuzzy and strange. But as he thought harder, it started to make sense. Just then, a Healer walked through the door with a clipboard, Mrs Weasley following behind.

"Oh, you're awake!" she said with surprise. "How do you feel?"

"Tired. And my face hurts." Teddy said

"Yes well, you did randomly get a nose bleed and bruising on your face but nothing had hit you. Anything else?" she asked

"No. No I feel fine. I don't know what happened though." Teddy said slowly. He looked straight at his dads eyes as he said that. Their male instinct picking up that Teddy was beginning to remember, but not something the Healer should hear. Remus understood, and nodded slightly, averting his eyes back to the women.

"Oh. Well, I just need to run some tests, and if it comes up clean, you'll be free to leave." She said happily. Taking out her wand, she instructed everyone to stand back as she let it hover over Teddy's body. A tingling and warm sensation spread through his limbs, making him giggle slightly. It stopped soon after, and the Healer tapped her wand on the paper and waited for the results to show.

"It seems that you are alright. I just need a parent or guardian to sign the release papers." She said.

"I'll do that. I'm his father." Remus said, stepping forward. Smiling, the two of them left the room, but not before the women said, "You'd better out your normals clothes on. Attract less attention that way."

Teddy nodded, and everyone left his section of the room so he could get dressed. As he was getting dressed, Teddy could have sworn he heard the adults talking to someone further down the room. With his black skinny jeans, red converses and 'Sleeping With Sirens' shirt on, he opened the curtains to see a mangled and ill looking Mr Weasley lying on a bed. What was strange was that he looked happy.

"Oh Teddy. You're alright. Gave us a right good scare you did." Mr Weasley laughed hoarsely.

Teddy stared at him in horror. Ron had told Teddy about what had happened to his dad, but he never thought it would be this bad. And wait, this must mean it's about Christmas time. He's been out for a while then.

"Mr Weasley, are you ok?" Teddy asked, stepping forward.

"Yes. I'll be ok soon. I hope." Mr Weasley sighed, sad eyes looking around.

"You'll be just fine soon." Teddy smiled. Mr and Mrs Weasley sighed with relief.


*********



An hour later, the adults and Teddy were safely back in the basement of Grimmuald Place. It was time for Teddy to tell them what he knew.

"So, I think I remember what happened. Me and Sirius were cleaning while I was blasting music from my phone. I was in someone's room cleaning, when a photo album fell on my foot, and it hurt like ****!"

"Teddy, language." Remus scolded

"Spanish." Teddy replied innocently.

"What?" the adults asked, confused.

"Well he said 'language', so I thought he was wanting me to pick a language in which he wants to scold me in." Teddy said. "So I said Spanish."

"Just, carry on with the explanation." Remus sighed, massaging his temples.

"Anyway, I opened it and saw many photos, stating the obvious I know but hey, but it was really dusty so I tried wiping it with my sleeve. But one photo at the top wouldn't clean so I used my finger. I don't really understand what happens next. I remember seeing some boys, younger versions of my dad, Harry's dad, Sirius and Peter near a forest. Um, Sirius with many girls, a really beautiful sunset. And uh, two certain people getting a little weird in a corner." Teddy said, looking at Remus and Sirius. They shared nervous glances as everyone stared at them.

"We can explain that." The two men said in unison, looking around.

"You two were ... but when was ... what?" Tonks spluttered, utterly lost.

"Fourth year..." Remus started

"It was Easter Holidays." Sirius continued.

"And we were left alone."

"Because James and Peter hadleft."

"And one day we got extremely bored."

"So I managed to sneak around and get a few bottles of Firewhisky." Sirius said happily

"We drink a bottle each and got pretty drunk."

"We don't remember much apart from."

"Me running around in Sirius's bright pink boxers."

"I tried to kiss Minnie.'

"I sat crying in a broom cupboard and I don't know why."

"And then we accidentally kissed in the hall." The two men finished together.

"Meant nothing though, just a drunk side effect." Remus said quickly

"Didn't look like it." Teddy muttered.

Remus shot him a quick warning glare which Teddy obeyed.

"Moving on." Tonks said slowly, still a little weirded out at the news. "Do you remember what happened next?"

"Kind of. I think I was moving between photos at will, and then after I saw those two going at it, I ran out. I remember seeing a bright white light and running straight into that. Next thing I knew, I woke up in St.Mungo's and you guys were there." Teddy said.

"I still don't get it. A photo album?" Molly sighed

"I know what it is." Sirius said darkly.

"What?" Molly urged.

"When my brother started school, my mother wanted to keep tabs on me, my friends, things I did and said. So she made him trail me and take photos of any interesting moments to send back to her." Sirius explained. "She'd developed them in a special way, and using one of her spells she created, she was able to go into the photos and hear why was going on."

"That's horrible." Teddy said. "I just used the Marauders Map to keep a watch on Victoire when I missed her. Well, miss her."

"But, Teddy will be alright?" Tonks asked. "No side effects or anything.

"He should be fine. As long as he never mentions what he saw in there again, he might just make it back to his own time, alive and in one piece." Sirius said menacingly. Teddy smiled, white teeth showing, and raised his eyebrows evilly. Sirius growled, but Molly stopped their antics at once, saying they needed to act their age ... as soon they had had some lunch.



As they all tucked happily into lunch, Teddy couldn't help but feel sorry for them. Because the true horrors of war were just about to happen, and they don't even know.......
