Lily blushed lightly at his comment. "He wanted to check on the others and see how they're holding up after everything. And yes, I'm here now."
She sighed. "Oh Harry..." She leaned in to press a kiss to his forehead, not even thinking that it might be unwanted on his part. There was something about him that made her want to hold him and never let him go, but she wasn't sure how he would react to that. Regardless of how grown he was, he was still her baby boy. "You deserve all the answers you want, and I will never feel sorry for offering you more insight."
Pleased that James at least had a sofa so they didn't have to sit on the bed, she was doing her best not to smother him. "I'm so sorry, darling. Your Aunt Petunia never got over the disaster of a dinner your father and I had with her and Vernon. I'm glad people at Hogwarts were able to give you some pictures, and hopefully the three of us can take advantage of this chance to be together by documenting whatever we can." She gently rubbed his shoulder. "Please, don't apologize. You have every right to say everything you're feeling. We weren't there for you, and I wish we were. As you said, we're here now, and while that won't make up for the past... I just hope that your father and I can help to fill in any blanks you might have."
