Dear Severus,
I suppose that, upon finding this letter and realizing it to be written in my hand, you will tear it
up or cast it in the fire. But, if you are still reading, allow me to apologize.
I am sorry that I had you follow me down into Hell. I was horribly selfish to lead you to that
satanic monster. I never wanted you to suffer, but I was so afraid of going into the Darkness
alone. I've tainted you, my beautiful angel, by dragging you down in my fall.
And I am also sorry that my promises have been broken for me. I hope that you know I don't
love her and I never shall. I hate her, for her self-centredness and the lack of control in my life
that she represents.
I realise that I can no longer call you mine. I belong to her, however unwillingly, and so you
belong to yourself.
I hope that you can see how you have changed. I know that I have, and I despise this thing
that I have become. There's a venomous part of you, dark and hateful, that frightens even me.
You understand pain. You inflict it with an artist's mastery...and I can never tell whether your
moods sway you to love me or hurt me.
But I can remember who you were...
You are still the boy who captured my heart that day in your second year...when I found you in
tears by the lake because of a fight. I wanted so badly to make all your pain go away, to make
those Gryffindor bastards pay for hurting you.
Please don't forget me. Not the me that serves the devil...but the one you loved, when I was as
unsullied by evil as "angel..."
Yours Eternally,
Lucius
