Halloween

"Dad, have you seen mom? Harry, Draco and I wanted to talk to her for a bit." Grace asked before taking Roscoe in her hands. "Your mom is busy at the moment, love. Talk to her tomorrow." I explained watching Roscoe run around and shout Harry and Draco's names. Harry and Draco looked up at me with confusion. Oh please for the love of Salazar don't make me explain it. "Is mom okay?" Draco asked, picking Roscoe up to stop his urge to run. "Busy with what?" Grace asked. Harry looked up at me and let out a sigh.

"It's halloween night. My parents were murdered 14 years ago." Harry whispered, Draco and Grace went silent. "Is mom okay?" Draco asked again. I let out a low sigh and rubbed my face. "You mom never got to truly grieve. After we found out your parents died, we found you, Harry, survived. As soon as Violet had you in her arms, the minister took Sirius to Azkaban. They assumed he sold out your parents. After that, Dumbledore took you from Violet and sent you off. A couple hours of arguing with the minister they let Sirius go and then Pettigrew tried to harm Grace. Then in a matter of less than a week, Bella killed, well thought she killed, Grace." I took a deep breath.

"You mom never had time to fully grasp that they died. So every year on Halloween night Remus, Sirius and your mom, they drink firewhisky and talk to the sky, conversing with James and Lily. But I say talk to your mom tomorrow because after your uncles leave, she cries and shouts towards the sky at James and Lily for leaving her." I explained and noticed Grace wipe a tear. "Your mom puts up a very good front that she is put together and in control, when in reality, she's in so much pain." I finish, Harry and Draco kiss Roscoe before hugging me and walking to their common rooms.

"Mom will be fine, right?" Grace whispered, kissing Roscoe. "Of course, love. Your mom is the bravest and strongest person I know." I smiled before kissing her cheek and taking Roscoe from her. I walk quietly into our flat and notice the balcony door open. I put Roscoe in his play area and walked slowly towards the door. I lean against the door frame and watch silently. She was leaning against the railing, shaking her head, as if she was laughing. She threw her head up and her eyes screwed shut.

"Fourteen bloody years and I'm still not healed... Lily, you bloody liar. You said I would need less than a month. J-James, you are such a prick. Leaving me with the two idiots and I have to deal with their bickering. Marlene, you twat. Leaving Sirius without many answers, I had to mend his broken heart. Lily, you were Remus rock. I had to step up and be Sirius and Remus' rock. And James, you utter git. I lost my rock, you, ye-yes you twat. You were my bloody rock. And I know I have Reg and Merlin, am I grateful for him. But I can't mourn you guys with him because he wasn't your best friend. I love you guys, I hope to see you soon, and I know Lily not too soon." She chuckled that last part. Struggling to finish her rant, or monologue.

She hung her head down and let light sobs rip through her throat. I knock gently on the door, she turns to face me. I noticed her attempt to fake a smile. She sulks into my arms and lets out louder sobs, muffled by my chest. "This is forever." She whispers, almost as if she is asking me. "This is forever, love." I whisper back, kissing her forehead. "Bed! Mama!" Roscoe shouted from the living room. "Yea, let's go to bed." I mumbled against the skin of her forehead. She smiles and walks to Roscoe, "Hey, buddy!" She cooed, picking him up and giving him endless kisses.
