"Welcome, Mr. Potter," the Ministry of Magic lawyer said, gesturing to a set of seats across from his desk, "Please, have a seat."

"Thank you Ludvick," Harry took the seat and reached out for Ginny's hand. "What's all this about though, I thought the custody business was settled a year ago."

"To be honest, I wasn't permitted to discuss it with you until this time. However, during the examination of the Lupin's house, a will was discovered in a clever spot, behind the lining of a painting of the moon."

"That's ironic," Harry chuckled; Ginny looked at him and squeezed his hand. She was worried about what the will would say and he knew it, he thought maybe she was worried that they wouldn't be able to see Teddy anymore.

"Well, ahem," Ludvick cleared his throat and straightened the papers on his desk, "I'll just read what's written here then, shall I?

'I Remus Lupin, being of sound mind, do hereby grant sole custody of my son, Theodore Remus Lupin, to his godfather, Harry James Potter in the event of the untimely death of myself and my wife. It is our wish that Harry, with contact and frequent visits with his maternal grandmother, raise Theodore. However, this custody shall only be granted if three conditions have been met.

i) Harry Potter is married

ii) Harry Potter and his wife are over the age of 22

iii) Harry Potter has a stable job, in which he is living in the same spot, not on-location (e.g. teaching at Hogwarts)

Should all three of these conditions be met, we desire that Teddy live with his godfather. Until such time that all three of these terms are satisfied, Theodore is to live with Nymphadora Tonks Lupin's mother, Andromeda Tonks.

Our money is to be left in our vault in Gringots and used to pay for Teddy's education. When he comes of age, he shall be granted full access to the remaining finances.

Our home is to be sold to pay off outstanding debts; any profits made are to go into our vault.

Any possessions not deamed to have "sentimental value," as determined by Andromeda Tonks, Harry Potter, and Molly Weasley, are to be sold.

We have enclosed letters to those we feel must receive them, please ensure that they are delivered promptly, or on the specified date.

Until Harry Potter has become engaged of his own free will, without knowledge of the aforementioned conditions, he is not to know of the contents of this will. Inform him that the Ministry has granted Andromeda custody. However, be sure to enlighten Andromeda, as it would be cruel to rip Theodore from her without her knowing why.

Please give all our love to our son, Teddy.

Remus Lupin

Nymphadora Tonks'"

The lawyer finished reading and gestured to a stack of parchment, each inscribed with a name in black ink on the outside. Throughout the reading, Ginny's hold on Harry's hand grew tighter and tighter, when Ludvick had finally stopped talking, he reached out and covered Ginny's hand with his own.

She pulled her hand away staring at the glistening diamond on her left ring finger. She looked from it, with wide eyes and met Harry's green ones. With visably trembling hands, she turned her hand so Ludvick could see the ring Harry had given her a few years before.

"We're getting married in a few months," she said breathlessly.

"So after the wedding, Teddy will come to live with us, instead of Andromeda?" Harry was confused, he actually got to have Teddy all the time now- it sounded too good to be true.

"Well, yes, as specified in the Will, he is to live with you but maintain contact with Mrs. Tonks. In cases like these, I would recommend that you simply switch the arrangement, make it so that he spends weekends with Mrs. Tonks and will spend weekdays with the two of you. That is if you accept custody."

Harry turned to his fiancée, "Ginny, I know it's huge, but he's already spending so much time with us—"

Ginny cut him off, tears welling in her eyes, "Of course!" She practically shouted, then blushed, "Of course, we'd love it if he came to live with us. He's already got a room at the new house and everything."

"Excellent, Mr. Potter, as soon as the marriage is finalized, I'll have the necessary documents drawn up and sent to your office. These," he motioned again at the pile of parchment, "Weren't to be delivered until the will was read to you and it was Mr. Lupin's request that you be the one to deliver them, would you take them with you today, please?" He looked relieved to have gotten this matter over with and that it had all gone smoothly. No doubt he expected Harry to be mad that he hadn't heard the contents before, or that Ginny wouldn't want Teddy. Obviously neither scenario was the case.

"Perfect," Harry smiled, "Thank you so much Ludvick," he stood, shaking the short man's hand, and left the office hand-in-hand with Ginny.
