You probably think I'm mad. Not that that's anything new. But considering I'm writing a letter to you even though you live with me (well… in a dorm that's near mine), I think this rates pretty high on the madness scale. But if we all weren't a little mad then we would all go insane. You know what I mean? Probably not.
Well, why am I writing a letter to you? I just want to talk to you. Without you running away, screaming at me, hexing me, or doing a combination of some sorts.
I think it's a brilliant idea. Remus and Sirius think it sucks. Remus keeps on saying that there's a difference between genius and stupidity, but I don't know. I don't really listen to him.
I mean, I do listen to him, just not when he's quoting old guys with white hair.
So, Evans, how are you? I trust you're doing well considering I'm not near you at the moment. I've come to terms with the fact that you'll probably never like me. Ever.
We're too different. You think we're too different. In fact, isn't that what you screeched at me yesterday? It is. But are we different?
I laugh, I love, I hope, I try, I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry. And I know you do the same things too, so we're really not that different, me and you.
Yes, I did steal that quote from someone. No, I did not come up with it.
Well, I suppose I'm not going to actually mail this letter. Quite frankly, I don't want to know what you'd do if you read it.
So farewell, I guess.
So long.
James Potter
Dear Lily,
I love you more than the world could know. More than you could ever conceive. But in dreams and in love there are no impossibilities. Yes, that's another stolen quote.
I am the happiest man alive at this moment. Yes - The. Happiest. Man. Ever. You said yes, Lily! Do you know how much of a triumph that is for me? If I was a mad scientist, I would be evilly laughing! But I'm not.
You're the most perfect person I've ever met, Lily. If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day,
so I never have to live without you.
You'll probably think I'm crazy. "I have never treated you well, James. How could you say that?" Something like that, that's what you'd say.
But you taught me that I was wrong.
You taught me that I was far from perfect.
You deflated my egoistical head.
Now only Sirius is still arrogant.
And I bet you could change that.
But I don't think he'd appreciate it.
Something about liking himself the way he is.
I fail to see how.
Just kidding.
I don't think I'll send this letter either.
You'd be creeped out, I believe.
See ya.
Sleep tight.
I love you.
James Potter
Dearest Mrs. Potter,
We're drifting apart now, aren't we?
It's an interesting place, this netherworld, so different from our own.
Stay strong, Lily.
Save Harry.
We've reached the tomorrow that we've always talked about.
I never dreamed it would be so soon.
But Lily.
There is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But, the most important thing is even when we're apart. . . I'll always be with you.
When we were young, you really shielded yourself from me, didn't you?
Your personal walls were set up, and I just came in and demolished them.
Rather uncouth of me, wasn't it?
But sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.
Believe in yourself, Lily.
He's coming up the stairs.
Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
One of Remus' old men said that.
It's true, Lily.
Remember.
Even if I am gone, even if you survive without me.
I'll still be with you.
But Lily, if it's the last thing you do in your life…
Protect our little Harry.
The boy who looks so much like his father,
But with his mother's eyes.
With all the love in the world,
James Potter
A/N: Hey everyone. Another one of my challenges. Gosh, it's fun to write from James' perspective. I hope that you got what the last one was about - I think I made it clear enough.
I wonder what Lily would have thought if she actually read all those letters.
Hmm.
Till next time, Her Majesty, The Queen, Violet ^_^
