I never noticed that he never once made a joke.
I never noticed the lack of mirrors in the house.
I never noticed that he never came to Hogwarts.
Not until now.
I never noticed the small scars on his wrist.

I never noticed the sad way he looks at me.
I never noticed there was always something missing.
Not until now.
Not until now did I noticed that my father wanted to die.
Not until he actually did it.
