Harry.

You need to come to my house immediately.

Your...

Your father has returned.

	When did this happen? Is he alright? Are you alright? I'm on my way. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Last night. Physically he's fine, he's just in shock. I am too. Just - he wants to see you and I want you to meet him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Last night?! Why didn't you tell me then?!~~ I can imagine. Not exactly the easiest situation to take in. I'm glad you found him. Was he wandering long before you did? How did you find him? Alright. I won't be long. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I go to our old home twice a day, every day. I was there when he showed up. I heard him ~~scream~~ yelling. Alright, see you soon ~~love~~ love. [...] That's not weird of me to say, is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm glad you were there. I think it's better that you were. Who knows where he would have ended up if you hadn't been. See you soon. No. You're my mother. It's not weird for you to say things like that. I'm, obviously, not used to hearing it yet, but that doesn't mean that I mind if you say it. Does it feel weird to say it?

I'm glad I was there, too.

No, Harry. You're my son, and though you're... not the son I feel like I had just a year and a half ago, I feel in my heart that you're my son. I know it so inherently, so it's not as weird for me as it might be for you.

I'm so sorry I didn't tell you about your father earlier. It was late, everything was a mess, it was... traumatic, to say the least.

I'm glad he's returned. I was hoping he would. ~~Maybe afraid he would too.~~

I wish I could give you back that son or somehow make up for all the time that's passed, but we'll just have to do what we can with what we have, right? I always wanted to make you and Dad proud. I hope that I've done that and that I keep doing that. I never expected to be able to ask you if you're proud of me, at least not in this life. I'll take the weirdness for that chance.

Don't apologize. I'm sure that you had your reasons and it's probably better that we didn't thrust me in his face right from the start. One trauma at a time is likely better, right?

	I was hoping, too. Oh, Harry. You have made us so proud. I know what happened, I know what you did through your whole life, what you accomplished. You have grown into such an amazing person, Harry, an amazing son. Maybe, yeah. Or maybe it would have been better to get it all done at once. I have no idea what the protocol for this is.

Well, now you're together again. That's how it's supposed to be.

~~You have to say that. You're my mother.~~ I always wondered how it would feel to hear you say that. Still feels like I'm going to wake up and none of this is going to really be happening. ~~Or I'm going to wake up and you'll both die all over again.~~

I don't think anyone knows what the protocol for this really is.

I'll be there in two minutes. You sure he's ready to see me?

	It is. I'm really glad you feel that way. I know, I feel that way too. I feel like I'm on borrowed time, sometimes. We really don't. Yes, I am absolutely sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Borrowed time. Let's just enjoy every second that we get, yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent)
