I laughed a loud when Al told Harry of Draco's reaction, ahahaha that was brilliant.

Poor Harry though! Guy can't get a break, from any of his family, still official or not!
Lily really needs a good smack! I know she's upset, but at least Harry tried! Too bad she doesn't see it that way though.

Looks like Ginny won't be much of an alley in this either, at least right now.
Cold shoulder treatment all the way.

I really like this so far and really eager for Draco to start his pestering, haha.

[lomonaaeren]

Thank you!

Lily is thinking back on all the other mistakes Harry's made, and all the times that she tried to tell him what she wanted and, as she sees it, he ignored her. She's not as forgiving of him as she used to be.

Draco starts his pestering next chapter, don't worry!

Oh Harry! But I'm not too miserable because I know you will fix this ... in time.
This is a captivating first chapter.

[lomonaaeren]

Thank you!

In time, yes. Although some of it would be cured if Harry paid a bit more attention to what's happening around him and got rid of that ridiculous guilt complex.

Just to make sure I understand, to make sure that Scorpius never has to pay the life debt, Draco wants to make sure its out of the way? (Even though the other life debts aren't taken care of). Can I assume that when a family member passes, that it goes the opposite way (the surviving members get the life debt). Great start so far.

[lomonaaeren]

It's different for Draco because Scorpius is underage. (And also because Scorpius might grow up and decide to pay it, and Draco doesn't want anyone indebted to Potter in his family anymore. Mutual forgiveness of mutual debts was one thing, but Harry isn't indebted to Scorpius).

I think the surviving members probably would, but age is the greater factor here.

Thank you!

This is gorgeous. I absolutely love father!harry, especially when he's exasperated and trying so hard. I can't wait to see where this goes.

[lomonaaeren]

I love him, too, poor harassed thing.
