home isn't a place. It is a person. And we are finally home
WHO. Ted, Andromeda, Tonks, Remus & lil' Teddy WHERE. Andromeda's house WHEN. Monday 17th August WHAT. Ted comes home! WARNINGS. there's a child present
It was definitely strange to be going 'home' to a place that was not his home, his own home - a quarter century of marriage and raising a child - long sold, to a place where he had only previously spent an illegal half-day. But for all its strangeness it did not matter, because since the year they had left Hogwarts, home had always been where Andromeda was. He had little more than a bag containing some of the things they had brought him over the last few weeks, to returned, including more than one empty tupperware container, some of his favourite books, and one of Dromeda's picture albums. Though he wished he could have been here the whole time, of course, he had to admit he was better prepared now to face Remus and Teddy than he would have been three weeks ago; more settled, less in a constant state of hidden grief for all of them. Who would have ever thought their family would suffer such a Shakespearean tragedy. Ted had always hated Shakespeare.
"Well," he said to his wife, her hand feeling just right in his as always as they stepped up to the house. "Here goes."
