Prologue:
Learned to Heal and be Healed
Smiling I watch my brother talking to my friends like he'd been friends with them forever instead of half a year, not even that really. But still…it's good to see him smiling and laughing. That's something I'd never thought I'd see again. Shaking my head I walk around the house thinking things have changed so much. The boy I'd once hated and despised was now my big brother, though I'd never admit the 'big' part to Draco. And now I had a dad. That was one thing I never ever dreamed I'd have, never mind that said father was one Severus Snape. Laughing I continue walking until I reach my room. 'My room', I never thought I'd be able to say that either, yet here I am. Sighing I go to the window and look down at all the people.
Knock, knock!
Severus is standing in my door way. "Why aren't you down there with your friends?"
I shrug. "I just wanted to think, it's easier when I'm not surrounded by ministers or reporters."
Severus nodded and moved to stand beside me. "I'm proud of you, you know. This is all because of you…everything."
I smirk, it's not often Severus voices such things, "Thanks, Severus." Sighing I lean against my father and think back to the day this all started, the day that made this whole thing possible.
