"James, James wake up! It's time for breakfast!"
Words so seemingly ordinary leave a bitter taste in my mouth. The first two words remind me of him.
"Pancakes are on the counter."
Too bad it's of no use thinking about him. He's gone forever.
"Hurry, we're already almost late for the floo transport honey!"
If you were here, would things be like this? Would I still have to work two jobs? Day with the Daily Prophet, night brewing potions for the apothecary?
"Fifteen past eight, we need to leave in fifteen minutes!"
"Would James be going to the normal YWC? (Young Wizard Care) Would your money and job have meant we'd have a safe and secure life? Would Hogwarts funds be taken as a given?
"Time to go!"
Would James have had a normal life with someone to actually give his fathers day cards to?
"Do you have your school bag? Parchment? Quill?"
Oh why did this have to happen? Why!? I know it's not your fault. I know the good that came out of it. I know the whole world is better off because of you. But, God! Look at me! Look at my life!! 23 with a four-year-old kid, a family who can't bear to think of me and how I wasted my life all for naught!
Just tell me. Why did you always have to be the brave on? Why couldn't you let other people help fight your battles? You weren't the only one responsible! The world didn't always have to depend on you!
Just tell me. Why?
Well Harry, I'll never know.
