Harry had felt much better after his walk with Roger, and had left to pick up Teddy in high spirits. He'd have to remember to thank the other man for being such a good distraction. Teddy had been in high spirits too, excited as always to have a sleepover with Uncle Harry. Andromeda had sent them each on their way with a kiss, and no comment on what she was planning for the evening. Harry hoped it had something to do with adults her own age; Andromeda spent most of her time with Teddy and deserved a night out now and then.

"Whatta we gonna do, Harry? Can we go to the cinemas?" Teddy asked once they'd Floo'd through to Harry and Hermione's flat. Harry, as always, was covered with soot but Teddy had managed to escape the same fate. A quick spell later, and Harry was soot-free once again. Teddy was still staring up at him expectantly, hair shifting from blue to orange to pink before settling back on blue. His face though was all Remus, and always gave Harry a little jolt.

"Actually, I thought we could have a camp out in the living room!"

This pronouncement caused Teddy to clap his hands, and his hair to run through the rainbow in his excitement. This time it settling on a shocking neon pink, nearly glowing with happiness. "Can we have a campfire and everything?"

One good thing about magic, Harry thought, was that he could give in to these little requests without hurting anything. "With a campfire and everything," he agreed. He'd already set up a tent, thanking Hermione silently for her patience, and had shoved all the furniture out of the way. In the center of the room was the promised campfire, and the ceiling was charmed to look like the night sky.

"Wow! This is so cool!" Teddy jumped around the room, checking everything out and making sure his stuffed hippogriff had a seat of honor around the campfire. Harry made a note to fireproof it before lighting the fire, just in case. "Is Mione gonna camp out too?"

Since Harry wasn't sure where Hermione was, he couldn't promise. "Maybe. We'll ask her when she gets home. Now, what should we do first?"
