About Harry

Albus

The silence is back. Leaving us wretched. I cannot choose. It's impossible. Is uncle actually right? I don't mind about risking my life but what about Rose? Is she really in danger if she keeps going out with me?

All these questions spin in my head, but they are just interrogatives without any answer.

I bring my gaze over dad. And, again, I found myself wanting to say something, but I don't know what, nevertheless I'm about to speak. I want to reassure him I won't leave him alone, despite everything, I won't. I'll sort it out with Rose, she won't allow me to distance her, I know she won't. Not again. I'll write to her straight away, she must be informed of all that happened even though it pains me to relate uncle's behaviour toward dad, but she must be informed that a family war has started. We will see each other in secret, this is what we will do. Yes. I'm sure she wouldn't wish me to abandon dad, she has always liked him despite the low moments. She always says she feels like she can confide in him, even if she doesn't understand why. He has a way to say things that make you feel better afterwards. The same as James.

Therefore, I'm about to speak but at that moment the bloody nurse enters the room. She is not dressed as a nurse, she is wearing a fancy jacket, a skirt, high heels and all her waving mane in perfect waves is left hanged loose on her shoulders. She has got that cloy smile on I don't like at all.

'My shift is over. I thought to pass by before to go home just in case you needed anything' she simpers to cover an annoyed look she instinctively took seeing me.

'We don't need anything!' I'm about to hiss upset but dad precedes me 'Yes, I actually needed you' he states making me startle. It is not the same faltering weary voice as before. This time is quite steady and cold, also his eyes are different, they got back some lucidity, his head is not bowed any longer.

'Albus, get out'

'But dad...'

'Get out!' he states firm.

I shot a poisonous look to the bloody nurse who looks quite smug without even bothering to conceal it.

'Close the door behind you' dad adds once I reached the door.

And the last thing I see is the nurse's victorious smile and dad, his gaze cold and mean, fixed in front of him.
