Ginny rubbed her eyes as she felt someone shaking her back and forth.

"What?!" She hissed to her best friend.

"Sorry to wake you, but it's time for breakfast. Go get changed." Hermione apologized.

"Alright, alright. I'm going. Just don't wake Teddy. I'll get Harry." Ginny groaned.

"Great. I'll be down in the hallway with Ron waiting." Hermione walked away.

Ginny shook Harry awake before pressing her fingers to her lips.

"Shh!" She whispered. "Go get dressed then we'll wake Teddy."

Harry nodded, running off to change. Ginny did the same.

They quickly changed then ran back to the common room to get Teddy.

Teddy woke up, when Ginny lifted him from his crib and began to cry.

"Shh....it's okay Teddy Bear. It's okay." Ginny said soothingly.

"I'll get his bottle." Harry offered.

Ginny nodded. Harry ran to get the bottle for her. Once he'd returned, they walked downstairs and joined the prefect couple waiting for them.

"About time!" Ron whined. "I'm hungry!"

"When are you not, Ronald!" Hermione scolded.

"Never!" Ron smirked, giving Hermione a quick peck on the lips.

"Get a room!" Ginny teased. 

"I guess I deserved that after all the times I've done it to you." Ron laughed.

The foursome walked into the Great Hall where their classmates were filing in. Several students looked at the couples when they heard a baby babbling. Despite Teddy not able to form words, he was still very talkative, just not in the sense where one could understand him.

"Oi! Potter!" An unfortunately familiar voice rang out.

Harry and his friends turned around to see Draco Malfoy walking over, with his gang of Slytherins behind him.

"What do you want Malfoy?" Ron growled.

"I just wanted to see my cousin..." Malfoy said, without his usual attitude.

Ginny and Harry looked at each other.

"You mean, Teddy?" Ginny asked.

"He's my cousin. I wanted to see him." Malfoy repeated.

"I-okay." Harry decided.

Hermione and Ron both looked surprised at Harry's answer. Harry just gave them a look that said trust him.

Harry could sense something different in the former bully.

"Hello, Teddy." Draco said, in an unusually kind voice.

Teddy looked at Draco for several minutes before babbling with a grin. Draco looked relieved at the nice reaction.

"Draco?" A young women's voice called.

"Coming!" Draco said.

He waved to his cousin, gave a small nod to the others and ran towards the Slytherin table.

"Come on, Harry. Let's go eat. We have classes today!" Hermione said.

The Griffindors walked over to their table and sat down.

"Hey Wo-Ron." Lavender Brown said walking over to where the friends were sitting.

"Oh, hey Lavender." Ron said uninterested.
