Inspired by Boyzone's 'Father and Son'...yeah I still listen to .

When Harry was a young boy he had been on a weekend trip just him and his father. His father had been ill for quite some time but to a nine year old Harry his father was invincible and he would always be there for him. His father had told him that he was proud of his only child and that he couldn't be prouder even if he tried, Harry being the polite boy he was thanked his father but was confused as to why his father seemed upset. He then told Harry that when he grew up he would find a beautiful woman to marry and have a family with just like his father had done. Young Harry had wrinkled his face at this, wondering why he would want to think about marrying someone. In young Harry's eyes that was one of the best weekends he had ever had with his father, the next week, two days after Harry's tenth birthday his father killed himself leaving Harry alone without a father figure but his head filled with what his father had told him.

Adult Harry snapped out of his thoughts and smiled from the bench where he was sitting watching his family play in the garden. His eyes swept over his four year old twins, then his three year old son then finally over his two year old daughter as they ran and laughed around the garden. A noise behind him alerted him to the presence of his wife and he turned and smiled at her as she sat next to him. Harry sighed and wrapped one arm around Nikki's shoulder and pulled her close, pressing a kiss onto her lips before they turned back to their children.

"What were you thinking about?" Nikki asked quietly, not taking her eyes off the children and Harry entwined their hands on his lap.

"Something I was told when I was a child" Harry replied and kissed Nikki again his lips lingering near her cheek as he sighed "By a very sick man"

Nikki only nodded knowing who he was talking about and she lay her head on Harry's shoulder and closed her eyes as Harry went back to watching their children play, a content smile on his face.

Another one about young Harry. I dont know if we were told exactly how old Harry was when his father killed himself but I think it was around when he was 9/10 that sort of age.
