All We have Done

It was a month later and Harry was sitting at work as he got a call from reception. He picked it up, "Hello?" "Harry, there's someone downstairs for you." Harry walked downstairs where Lucius was. He opened the door, walking up to his father in law. "Lucius?" "Harry. How are you doing?" "It's hard, but since I've been at work, I'm getting there. Do you know how Maisie's getting on?" "She's at school, you still haven't told her, have you?" He shook her head, "She asked where her mum was when Narcissa picked her up, and I just told her she had a work meeting, but I broke down after as I lied to my daughter." "Harry, you need to tell her, she's wondering where her mum is." Harry nodded, sitting down.

Lucius helped him up "Millie, I'm heading off for the day as I need to speak to my daughter." "Go ahead." Harry looked at Lucius "Give me a minute to get my jacket, and we'll go down the school." "Alright." Harry walked back upstairs, closing the door to his room, getting his jacket, pulling it on, putting his jacket on, and got his jacket, walking downstairs after locking his room. He walked downstairs, "Ready to go?" He nodded, walking outside to his car, "I'm going to head home first, and then I'll go down there." "Go ahead." Harry got into his car, putting his bag down in the back, buckling into the car. 

It was later on and Harry was outside of Maisie's school to pick her up. Maisie walked out of the gate, and to her father's car, "Hey honey." "Hey dad. What happened to mum?" "Put your bag down and I'll tell you." Maisie put her bag down by her feet, and buckled into the car. Harry drove off, "Okay, so for the past month, your mum was struggling really bad with her mental health, and that caused her to be more quiet around family." "I noticed that when we had film nights," "Yeah, I could tell that you were noticing, but last month around 1pm, I found her on the bathroom floor." He stopped for a minute to stop at a set of traffic lights, "How did you find her?" "I found her on the floor, bleeding from her left wrist and I couldn't do anything to help her when I got home from work that day, I just got messages from her and Auntie Emma, who's coming down for her funeral next week." "Am I allowed to be there?" "Your our daughter, she would want you to be there." Maisie nodded her head, "How are you feeling about this?" "I want to cry, but I can't." "I know, baby, me too." Harry looked at her daughter.

When they got home, the two walked in the house and Harry closed the door. Maisie walked in the living room where Lucius and Narcissa were over. Narcissa walked over to her Granddaughter and hugged her tight. Maisie hugged her back as Harry walked in the kitchen with Lucius "I told her, but it was hard." "I know, it's hard for all of us." "It really is, I've known her for 29 years, so it's really hard." "I know." Harry walked out of the kitchen and upstairs to the bedroom, sitting on the bed after closing the door. 

Narcissa walked upstairs, and knocked on the door, "Harry, can I come in?" Narcissa opened the door when he replied. Narcissa walked in, closing the door, "How are you doing?" "I'm doing not so great, but I'm talking to someone at work." "Who?" "I'm taking to this girl called Emily." "What is she like?" "Well, she's got a similar personality to Bella." "Okay, are you two talking or dating?" "We're talking at the moment, but she's asked me on a date, but I'm not sure. I'm still not over everything that happened, how will I get over it?" "You will, tell Emily you're not ready for a date, do you like her?" "I don't know, everything me and Bella had for the past 14 years is done. I can't just move on like that, because some people don't understand how pain a person can be in and they don't see it." "I see it, I have seen how much pain you've been in." Narcissa told him and he nodded, pushing his pillows up.

Maisie walked upstairs to her dad's room in tears. Harry opened his arms as she got on the bed, and moved into his arms "It's okay, I promise." Narcissa got up, "I'll give you two some space." "Thank you, Narcissa." Harry looked at his daughter who was curled up to his chest "It's okay. Has it just hit you?" She nodded her head "It's hit me pretty bad, I was looking at a picture from when I was around 10 and we was at Disney." "Aww, would you mind if I see?" Maisie got the picture up from her photo gallery and showed it to her dad. Harry smiled tearfully, and looked down at his daughter and pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Dad?" "Yeah, hun?" "Can I take a little sleep on mum's side?" "Of course, are you tired?" "Yeah, and cried too much. I was with Granddad, and I saw the picture and I broke." "Oh bless you, sweetheart, come and lie down." Maisie got up, walking into her bedroom to get changed.
