Because Abbl2 suggested that Harry's kids didn't know about his past until they went to Hogwarts, and asked to hear about how he told them then. (BTW, she wrote her own perspective of it that I just read. It's called "The Confrontation." You guys should check it out!)
Albus had never really understood the stares.
And now James said he hadn't either.
They'd returned from Hogwarts five days before, and they couldn't hold the question in any longer.
So one afternoon, they marched downstairs to their father.
"We want to know why you're famous."
Harry stared at James. Lily looked up. Ginny sent Harry an "I-told-you-so" look.
"Are you sure?"
Three heads nodded.
"It's scary sometimes."
Albus and James stared at Lily, who shrugged.
"Okay. It starts when a boy named Tom Riddle was born…"
The children sat down around him, for it would be a long night.
So, I don't think that he really would have told them EVERYTHING then. I mean, at this point, their only about 9-14 (depending on when their birthdays are). I think he would have given an abridged version. For one thing, I don't think they would react very well to hearing about Ginny in the Chamber of Secrets, or any of those other horrible things. I don't think they'd even be able to comprehend Harry's death. (Thinking back on it, I'm not sure I did the first time I read Deathly Hallows.) But I think he would have told them the basics.
You guysss. 200 reviews? Where did that come from? As always, I want to thank every single one of you for reading, reviewing, favoriting, or whatever else you've done. I appreciate it more than you can possibly imagine.
And, another head's up, I wrote some pretty out-there chapters last night. Y'all are going to be pretty shocked... xD
