Merlin came to sit on Harry's other side, in the curve of his knees and resting the clipboard on Harry's hip. "I made the call to leave Harry to recover int he hospital. I was wrong. Even if it causes him pain, he has a right to remember his life. He made that choice and we can't stop him learning. If he learns from us, we're here when it hits him. If we just give him a little, he'll hack into the system to find out for himself."
Harry's eye opened. "... 'm here," he protested.
"Yes, we know. Go back to sleep, Harry."
"You're not my mother," he mumbled.
"No, I'm not, your mother gave up trying to control your behaviour when you were eleven." He took one of Harry's hands and squeezed it.

Harry didn't reply, already asleep again.
