Daddy?

[Harry & Evangeline Potter]

Evangeline trudged up the stairs to see her father. Harry had told her he'd requested her presence so here she was. She knocked before opening the door. "Daddy? You wanted to see me?" she asked him, he hazel eyes shining brightly.

[James Potter]

James loving the tone that Evie has when she was looking at him. He stood up and walked over to her picking her up in a big hug, he had been giving her extra attention since her incident.
"How's my little lady?"

[Harry & Evangeline Potter]

She was a little worried incase she was in trouble and her father being the Heamaster couldn't favour his children. She laughed and hugged James back. "I'm good daddy." she told him. "How are you?"

[James Potter]

"Good,"James said carrying her over to his desk. "I wanted to see how you been since the incident and I wanted to let you know a couple things."

[Harry & Evangeline Potter]

"I'm getting used to it." Evie told him. "Not that i've been through a change or anything...I'm a little scared about that. I'm going to talk to Remus later." she told her dady. "ooo, what is it Daddy?" Evangeline asked him curiously.

[James Potter]

"I'm sure that Remus will be able to help you"He said he then looked at Evie. "What if I were to tell you that me and your mum are trying to have another baby?"

[Harry & Evangeline Potter]

"Me too." Evangeline said, knowing Remus was a good man and her father's friend. She then heard what he said and all she could say was, "Oh..."

[James Potter]

"Evie, its not because of you,"James explained. "Your mum and I have been so busy lately and we thought that we should have another. Evangeline, you are my little girl and we're not ashamed of you at all."
James hoped that Evie would take this better, he wanted her to understand this had nothing to do with her recent condition. He loved Evie and he hoped that she knew this.

[Harry & Evangeline Potter]

Evangeline just looked at her hands. It obviously was because of her recent condition. Who wanted a child that was an abomination? The more she saw it the more she was being pushed out by anyone. Her heart gave and unvolantary sqeeze which was pianful. She loved her parents more than anything. She didn't know what she'd do withough them. Ok, she could get over the whole Ines thing. Even if her Dad didn't love her as much as before at least she had her Mum....but now even that was gone...only Harry was left in the family.

[James Potter]

James realizing that Evie what was thinking and began explaining to her the reasons why they wanted to have another child, how they have been thinking about this for a couple years and Lily after seeing Kadenze pregnant had wanted to really do it.
"You're still my little girl."James said.

[Harry & Evangeline Potter]

"But I won't be Dad." Evangeline told him. "I'm happy you and Mum want another child, but don't say things that aren't true." Evangeline adopted the tone that was wise and thoughful. "if you have another girl, she will be your baby girl. Not me Dad." Evie told him no longer usuing the affectionate term of 'Daddy'. "And either way you look at it, I'll be the middle child."

[James Potter]

Alarmed at how much Evie believed what she was saying, he looked at her with a look he never had seen her with before, as an adult.
"Evangeline, listen to yourself,"James pleaded. "You actually think that I don't know what is going on with you, that I'm going to love you any less then I had since you were born? Your mum always said we had a connection, like we were both in a joke that was between us. I had thought that with the idea of you being a big sister would excite you. If you believe that then I'm sorry for you, I really am."

[Harry & Evangeline Potter]

"The joke seems to be wearing thin Dad. You feel sorry for me? Thanks. Join the club of about 10 others that do as well." Evangeline could feel herself getting angry. "You want to know the truth. You haven't got a clue what going on really. Ok so you know the outline but you have no idea what I feel or how I think or how many times I've cried myself to sleep. You and Mum are so busy Harry and I have to rely upon each other. And you want to bring another child into this. Well more fool you James Potter."

[James Potter]

"I don't feel sorry for you because of what happened to you,"He stated. "What you just said that whole rubbish makes me sad for you. What you just said and I'm scared you may actually start believing what others are saying about and if you are I do feel sorry for you."
"Now I understand that you're upset,"James said noticing her temper she inherited from her mother and at the same time he was holding back his own.He took a deep breath as he felt himself getting angry.
"There are things going on that you aren't even aware, things that you shouldn't know and I pray to Merlin you won't have to face. Not everything is about you Evangeline."

[Harry & Evangeline Potter]

"I know exactly what you meat." Evangeline shouted at him. She knew her father was on about her current thoughts and not condition, after all she was not retarded. "I'm sorry for being such a selfish bratt of a daughter. maybe if I just go kill myself it'll make this earier for you. I really wish I'd died that night I was attacked and deep down I think you do to! So you wouldn't have to deal with me anymore!" Evangeline screamed at James before breaking down in front of him.
