Rockistarz: Whew… Sorry it took me long time to update. I'm in the hospital but nonetheless I can't leave my readers hanging. So here's my second chapter.

CHAPTER 2:

Tense was still hanging in the air. Harry felt that his children were distancing themselves away from him. It was the second day since Ginnie's disappearance and the aura in the Potters household was still gloomy. No one dared to talk about their missing or rather runaway mother so they stayed quiet throughout the afternoon. Harry headed to the kitchen to cook the kids something to eat but while he was in the middle of it, he decided he couldn't take the heavy atmosphere. He banged the mug to the table and called upon his children in a thundering voice.

"All three of you, come here in the kitchen." He called loudly but no answer came. "NOW!" he yelled.

First came Lily with puffy red eyes. Next came Albus who the same with Lily red eyes. Traces of tears were on his cheeks, evident enough that he had been crying all afternoon. What was surprising was James reaction. He entered the kitchen with a stubborn, arrogant expression on his face. Harry sighed as he ruffled his messy hair. He made sure that all of his kids were settled on the chairs before he started his speech.

"I know that you three are having a really hard time but moping around in the house wouldn't do us good. It's also really hard for me." Harry softly told his children. 2 of the three, Albus and lily stayed quiet with their heads low but James didn't waver on his expression instead he asked with a bitter-filled voice. He was about to continue but his son cut him off.

"Are you really?"

Surprised, Harry asked. "What do you mean James?"

His eldest son glared at him icily before replying, "Of course you wouldn't know. You're never around. No wonder mom left us. She-

*SLAP*

"Don't you dare talk to me like you know any thing! You're just a kid who knows nothing."

James held his cheeks while he cried. "I hate you!" he then ran to his room and shut his door lock. Harry sighed in frustration. His 2 kids, on the other hand sat on the chair gaping at him. His tantrum must have freaked them out, he thought. He sat between them and hugged the two.

"I'm really sorry, Albus, Lily. I know that this is my fault. I just couldn't take that you three had to suffer because of me. " He whispered to them. He was also near to tearing up. It was not the idea that Ginnie left that made him want to cry but the idea that his children had been so far from him, they were almost strangers. Lily, however, even in her young age knew how her father regretted the decisions he made. She sat on Harry's lap and hugged him. This surprised Harry but still returned the hug.

"It's okay Daddy. I'm here. I forgive you."

She softly told his father. Harry on the other hand didn't know what to feel. Either to laugh because his only child, a girl whose 7 years old comforted him as if she was an adult or cry because his little girl forgave him even though he didn't deserve it. His embrace tightened as he heard Lily's words of comfort. Albus who was watching on the sidelines tugged Harry's shirt and spoke.

"Me too, daddy. I forgive you. Event though James would be angry at me for forgiving you easily, I forgive you."

"We don't want to lose you too, Daddy." Lily, in her childish little voice cried. Harry then knew the dreaded fear that was hunting his children. They were so afraid that Harry would also leave them too, just like what Ginnie did.

"Oh, Lily. I won't. I won't leave you. I love you 3 so much I wouldn't be able to leave you."

"Really, daddy?" both kids asked.

"Yep. That's why tomorrow we would go to the park. We'll do the things we haven't done in a year. How's that?" Harry proposed, hoping to cheer them up. Luckily, he did.

"Yes, dad! Will we buy ice cream too?" Albus asked hopefully.

"And cotton candy?" Lily added. Harry chuckled at this. It seemed that throughout the long period of time he wasn't around, his children were neglected of their childish wants. He carried both of them in his arms and led them to the bedroom. They talked and talked until they were sleepy. Harry sung them a lullaby, which he hadn't done in a very long time.

~~~~~~~~DRARRY~~~~~~

The park was filled with families of different sort. There were families which were wizard born, some were muggles. When the Potters arrived, many bore their eyes on them knowing it was the miracle boy, the boy who lived who was coming. They made way for him and shook their hands. Some thought it was a famous celebrity passing by but none of the muggles recognized him as someone famous.

And when they finally found a spot, it was under a cherry blossomed tree. They placed a large cloth on the grass and sat on it. They also brought baskets of fruits and foods to eat while spending time with his kids. James though, remained distant even though his 2 siblings were already on good terms with Harry.

"dad, I want the strawberry flavor!" Lily called while they were on the ice cream stall.

"strawberry? Eeewww... chocolate's better." Albus snorted. Lily pouted and crossed her cute small arms.

"yuck! If your chocolate's better, then my strawberry's best!" she grinned seeing the scowl on her brother's face.

"hey, hey, enough you two. I'll buy you what you want. How about you James?" Harry asked reluctantly. James was still giving him the cold shoulder, but surprisingly he replied.

"vanilla." Harry smiled whole-heartedly when he heard that his son had finally talked to him.

"4 ice creams please. One strawberry, one chocolate, one vanilla and one mango."

When they finished ordering the ice creams, they proceeded in going back to their spot under the cherry blossoms tree. It was noon and they were eating, they met someone they least expected. This someone had a strikingly, shiny blonde hair and deep blue eyes. When this person turned, Harry had the shock of his life; it was Draco Malfoy with a miniature replica of himself.

"M-malfoy?" Harry gasped.
