Mistakes: Mistakes
by testingt
I started off too soft with them both. My Dad had warned me about that mistake, and I made it anyway. Letting her name him that, for one: not a pansy name, not quite, but stuck up.

Severus? He’ll need to be a fighter with a name like that.

And he’s not. And she’s not helping. She’s coddling him. She’ll make him a sissy and a freak, this road. Tying him to her apron strings, teaching him to read. I never see him playing with other boys.

I need to teach him not to cry, at least. Toughen him up.
