“Harry!” Andromeda walked in, Teddy in her arms. She put the toddler down and he tottered to Harry, who picked him up.
“I need advice,” he told her, hopeful and overwhelmed.
Andromeda looked Harry over, then pointed to the garden. “Let’s watch Teddy play with his levitating ball, and we can talk.”

Andromeda listened with care, quiet and serious, as Harry stumbled through his story.
“You told me to mend fences, and when I thought about it, I knew he deserved an apology. So we talked, then I invited him to mine. We had junk food and got kinda drunk.”
t-T-t-T-t-T-t-T-t
“When I came out, he got weird. I misunderstood.” Harry blushed hotly and looked at his feet. “He wanted to prove he wasn’t homophobic, so he kissed me. I kissed him back.”
Andromeda was silent a long time. Harry felt himself tensing. Then she took his hand into her own, and squeezed it. Reassured, Harry waited.
“You know I am completely comfortable about your preferences, Harry. This isn’t about Draco being male. But last I saw you two together, you seemed to think Draco was your enemy. Do you honestly care about him? I don’t want either of you hurt.”
t-T-t-T-t-T-t-T-t
Harry wanted to protest, but held his tongue, and thought it over carefully.
He didn’t like it, but Andromeda’s reasoning made sense. One snog session, and he wanted her to believe they’d transitioned seamlessly from enemies to sweethearts? It sounded ridiculous, even to him. And he’d been half of that amazing kiss.
On the other hand, they’d both apologized, then they’d talked. They’d napped in one another’s arms.
And Andromeda trusted Draco to be alone in a room with Teddy. No one was more precious than Teddy.
“I don’t want to hurt him,” he said. “I want to date him.”

Andromeda squeezed Harry’s hand again, then turned and put one hand on his cheek. Her smile was tender and caring, and Harry felt his eyes well, just a bit.
Molly had been like a mother to him for so long, but it felt different with Andromeda. She didn’t just think of him like a son, she also (usually) treated him like a responsible adult. At the same time, he often sensed a loneliness in her that he felt like he helped to fill.
They were good for one another, he thought, and he put a hand on hers and smiled.
