Masquerades and Mistakes

Harry had returned the next morning and after a lot of scolding from his stepfather, he was back to work. He didn't mind the work though, he was excited for the night. He kept thinking of the suit that was cooped up in the attic and the beautiful mask Liam had made for him. The thought of the ball was just exciting. He didn't know if he was going to try and impress the prince however, Harry didn't feel he could impress such royalty.

It was that time at night where Lottie and Louis were preparing for the night. Harry of course was assigned to helping them. Louis didn't really need the help but Lottie had a dress that was hard to walk around in, so he made sure he helped her just the slightest to move around while she got ready. Once she was comfortable in the dress, Harry was shooed away. "Harry, you can go clean the other rooms upstairs now." James speaks. Harry gives a nod before going upstairs and starts in the twin's room.

Once inside he spots his pocket watch that Louis has snatched from him. He looks back hoping no one was coming in and he grabs his pocket watch quickly. He didn't care what Louis said, that watch was his.

Harry needed to get his suit out from the attic so while the three of them were preoccupied with getting ready he needed to get up into the attic, which the only entrance was in the twins room and they usually lock it when he isn't home. He went up and grabbed his suit but it was too late Louis found him.

"What are you doing?"

"Just getting a box from the attic to put in my room. It's just some old clothes."

Louis rolled his eyes and he grabbed the box from him, gasping when he opened it up to reveal a very expensive suit. "You're trying to go to the ball aren't you? Father wouldn't like hearing this."

Before Harry could stop him, he took the box down the stairs and showed his stepfather. He tried to retrieve it back but it only made the stepfather grow angrier. "Enough boy, going against my words on going to the ball. Louis go ahead and do your worst."

And right before his eyes Louis grabbed the scissors and started cutting up his father's suit into pieces. "That was my father's."

"In this house everything belongs to me, you belong to me!" He screamed at Harry and before they knew it Harry smacked him in the face.

"You don't fucking own me, I'm my own person. I hate you, you only married my mother because of the money but news flash you're fucking broke! Your sorry ass doesn't work and your two spoiled brat children always ask daddy for the most expensive things, selling things behind their backs of things they haven't used or worn in a while so you can get the things they ask."

"That would explain why I'm missing earrings!" Lottie scoffed at her father.

"That would also explain why I can't find my diamond encrusted watch."

Harry left the house as they were arguing, making his way to Greg's, wiping away his tears as he carried what was left of his father's suit.

"How could they be so heartless and just...destroy something so important to me..." He said with sniffles. Greg shakes his head before placing his hand on his leg and looked him in the eye

"Harry...this isn't the end of the world. I mean yes they ruined something truly important to you but I know you and you are so strong compared to those spoiled brats." He said. Harry smiles a little before wiping his nose.

"I don't even have a suit to wear to this stupid thing now..." He mutters. Greg smiles to the boy before he gets up and he gets a closet opened. He pulls out a suit that makes Harry gasp. "I saved this for a rainy day...it isn't raining but we can pretend."
