I can’t put it off forever, father, so I will ask outright. How long did you plan to keep the blood curse from me? Forever? Severus only told me because he had no choice. I was disappointed this news did not come from you directly, but under the circumstances I can muster a small amount of understanding. I know that you are dying, you’ve told me as much. I wish there was more that we could do to help you, so that you can have your share of peace as well. I’m doing as you have hoped and am searching for my own peace.
