Two months after the birthday party Harry and Arushi were sitting in the waiting room of a muggle psychologist. Harry wanted to have Arushi evaluated. Healers had looked her over and had said she was hurt by her abuse and then that "Something else is wrong" but then their only option was a bunch of potions which Harry had said no to. So Harry had chosen the muggle route. Harry was worried because she had no ability to socialize with the other kids and was so sensitive. She had trouble grasping lots of things she should. Harry knew that it didn't really matter as much, but he just wanted to know how to help her, not change her with potions she may or may not need, he didn't trust people who didn't even try to understand.

The meeting went fine they asked them both lots of questions, had Arushi play some games and had Harry do some paperwork. They came back one more time for a second assessment.

Harry sat there as the doctor went over some numbers.

"I would say she has anxiety, PTSD, and Autism." The doctor said.

"Okay," Harry said.

"What does those words mean?" Arushi asked confused.

"Here, the doctor said handing harry some pamphlets and a list of books and websites to look at."

Harry nodded.

"But briefly. Anxiety is when you worry a lot and have lots of stress."

"Okay." Arushi and Harry said.

"PTSD comes from when your dad hurt you, makes you scared and you remember all the things really forcefully."

Arushi nodded.

"And autism is a little more complicated. It means your brain is wired differently to most people. Not that it's bad you just have to work a little harder to get some things and do things differently"

"So I am strange like dad said." She said looking worried

"Not bad. It doesn't mean something is wrong with you." The doctor reassured.

Arushi nodded, not looking sure. Harry took her hand.

"Your dad was never right for the way he treated you," Harry said.

Arushi nodded tears standing in her eyes.

"We can meet again to discuss some coping skills for everything if you would like"

"Sure," Harry said.

They made another appointment.

Harry and Arushi were back at the house. Arushi went into her room and put on her headphones playing her music and rocking.

Harry smiled she wasn't crying and she didn't have her scared face so Harry let her cope her way.

Harry read through what the doctor had given him. The PTSD stuff made Harry think oh yeah I have that. He sighed. The other stuff was a little confusing. He decided he would have to ask Hermione if she could explain any of it.

He then went to the computer and read some things by people who really have the conditions which made Harry feel better.

He then decided he would have to go to the library to pick up the suggested books.

A week later Harry was going over notes from the appointment. A lot of the coping skills were pretty straightforward. Deep breathing, muscle relaxation, finding a creative outlet for her.

taking Arushi out into new situations slowly and not pushing her too hard. Letting her have sensory toys to help her deal in new places. Earplugs were a suggestion Harry really loved and they used that one when they went shopping or out to do anything, along with one of the sensory toys Harry actually started carrying something for himself as well.

Harry had talked to Hermione about it and she had agreed when she had some free time to read some things. Surprisingly luna actually new lots of coping skills for a lot of similar experiences Arushi had.

Harry loved that Luna and Hermione were immediately supportive.

Luna and Ginny spent a lot of time with Harry and Arushi. They seemed to like being with them as Ginny said.

"We can be as romancey-like here, you don't judge us."

Harry liked that he was trusted by them. Honestly, he thought they were good for him and good for his daughter.

A month later Harry went to the Ministry having let Arushi stay with Andromeda and Teddy. Harry had submitted a proposal to add a police presence and a legal team to the child welfare department to allow specially trained cops who knew how to deal with cases with traumatized children. And a legal team to prosecute people who hurt children. Along with reforms to the process to find families for children. Now Harry would hear the response.

Harry sat in a room. The heads of the Magical law enforcement department, who at this point was the interim director Brier while Hermione was out, and the head of the child welfare department named Wilson came in.

"I support your proposals on the whole, but I it will take time to move around personal and find funding. If you're willing to head up the police presence by yourself and come up with the program we can get that started faster. And the lawyers will be those who volunteer and we will put out some feelers for private practice lawyers who want to give time." Brier said.

"As for the procedural changes we will use your stated ideas, to begin with, but it will take a very long time to implement them all," Wilson said.

"I will definitely run the section and come up with a training plan for those who want to join," Harry said smiling.

"You will also have to go without pay for the first two months while we reallocate funds," Wilson said.

"Perfectly fine." Harry agreed.

"Okay. Then it's settled." Brier said.

Harry was excited to be doing something to move forward. As both Ron and Ginny called it, "his stupid ass saviour complex."

He got back and Called Luna, she and Ginny came over with Arushi.

"How'd it go?" Ginny said sitting on the couch flipping her shoes to the floor.

"Fine," Harry said pouring ginger ale for himself.

"Daddy?" Arushi whined.

"Whats up?" Harry asked.

"Luna gave me a present!"

"What'd you get?"

Arushi showed him a scrunchie.

"So 90's." Harry laughed.

Luna came over and laid her head on Harry's shoulder.

"Thanks for letting us watch her Harry." Luna sighed.

"Well if you guys want, you can split watching her with Andromeda?"

"Great!" Luna said clasping her hands together smiling.

"That be okay? Aunt Luna watch you while I work?"

"Course," Arushi said ash she took a cup from the fridge and went to her room.

Harry sat in his chair and fell asleep quickly.

Ginny laughed at her friend. He looked so, young. They were of course, all of them young still. But it hadn't felt that way in a long time. Her friends and family had been through so much. Just in this room, possession, torture, death followed them like a haze always around them. Luna had it too, less because of just how she was but it was there. It was odd right now. Some dumb movie played she and luna ate chips and their friend slept int he chair. Like maybe they were real 20 somethings. Ginny kissed Luna and laid on her shoulder.
