Tony's Loss

Chapter 4

5 MONTHS LATER
Tony Stark has changed in the past five months and not for the better, he was pale, and sickly thin, right now he is laying on the couch with the letter that Harry wrote before he died, he was reading it for the millionth time. "Sir, there is an unknown person at the door asking for you" Jarvis suddenly says. "Tell them to go away" Tony replies. He hasn't gotten better since the day he found out that he lost his son, his Harry. He couldn't live without him, couldn't function without him. "Sir, he is insistent on seeing you, he said that he will not leave until he sees you sir." He scowls, why couldn't everyone leave him alone? "Fine let him in." he gets up and heads to the door ready to glare at the person who comes through. The person who walks into the room is of average height, wearing black skinny jeans and a dark red hoodie with the hood covering his face. "Who are you and what do you want?" Tony snaps out. but the stranger doesn't reply he only removes his hoodie. Whatever Tony was expecting it wasn't to see a face that looks just like his son's. "WH... Who are you?" Tony stampers out. "Hey dad." No, NO, what kind joke is this? What kind of person would dress up as his dead son and come knocking at his door?" How dare you? How dare you come here acting like my son when my son is dead and has been dead for 5 months? "He starts shouting, ready to hurt this stranger who thinks this is funny. "It's me dad, I swear, and I can prove it" the stranger replies and with that he turns into his animagus form, a black jaguar with bright green eyes. Tony knew that no one can impersonate another person's animagus form, "Harry it's really you!" He finally cries out after a few minutes of silence. "They told me that you were dead." "Umm, it's a long story?" Harry replies, although it came out more like a question. All of a sudden Tony launches himself at Harry and hugs him so tight that Harry's face turned blue, "Dad, can't breathe." Tony pulls away looking sheepish, then he drags Harry into the living room and makes him sit down, "start talking" he says after he sits in the chair facing Harry. And Harry does, he tells him how the only way to kill Voldemort was for him to die, how Voldemort killed himself when he shot the killing curse at him, about how he had the choice to come back or stay dead and deciding to come back, and how he woke up 3 months later buried in a casket, luckily all wizards are buried with their wands so he was able to get help. "Three months! It's been five, are you telling me that you have been alive for two months and didn't think to inform me until now!" Tony asks, angry that his son has been alive for 2 months but no one told him, they just let him continue to grieve. "I tried to dad, but they wouldn't let me contact anyone until they could make sure I was really me and that I was healthy and not going to all of a sudden die again." Tony calmed down a little after hearing that, he nodded signaling for Harry to continue on with the story. After he was saved they took him to St Mungo's Hospital where they did test after test for two months until finally he was released yesterday. And just like that father and son were reunited once more.
