I got into a bit of an argument with Lily a few weeks ago over the subject of having children. As the son of a victor I knew that I didn't want to have children myself after hearing my mother worry at night when I was supposed to go to bed, and Sirius' death cemented that for me. Obviously I changed my mind later on after I married the Evans in my world since Harry is here, but I can't help but feel guilty when things like this happen and my gut reaction to seeing him hurt is to fall back on that logic and say watching him get hit on screen was the reason I didn't want children. It hurt more than I imagined it would even after seeing deaths of the children I mentored.
From what I've heard that was the first "world" we've actually visited, and what a world to go to. There are some similarities between my world and his, and I'll see if I can be of any help to him. Has he said anything to you about it?
