Memory #2

"Dad?" I sniffle as I walk into the potions room after lunch. It's Saturday which means he doesn't have to teach.

"Yes?"

"Is it true?"

"Is what true, if I may ask?"

"That you only adopted me because Dumbledore told you to and that you hate me for being in (other house besides Slytherin)?"

"Who told you that?"

"The whole Slytherin house at lunch today..."

  "Well, if you must know, Dumbledore did tell me to adopt you."

  "Not really helping with my emotions..."

  "But it's been the best thing that I have ever done."

  I smile widely and throw myself into his arms.

  "I love you." I say.

  "I love you too, (y/n). I always have and I always will."
