She's everything to me. Her laugh; my music. Her words; my holy text. Her heartbeat; my own. When things go wrong, with Draco, with her sister, even with Scorpius, she comes to me and I hold her, console her. At first I thought it was because her own father was killed during the first war, but as time ticked on, I realized that I was much more than a father-figure. Draco wasn't living up to her expectations. Not as a husband, not as a father to her only child. But I had never failed her. Who was it she entrusted Scorpius to most often? Who was it she came to for advice? For support? I was serving the role of father, husband, and confidant and despite all of that, I would never be any of that. Could never be.
