A/N: Takes place during the summer after Harry's 6th year but before Harry leaves Privite Dr.
Sleeping came easy to for the first time since Lily had died so, naturally, I felt far more rested than I had in years. My head didn't even hurt from all the drinking I did last night. Although, my current position somewhat force me to do quite I lot of binge drinking, seeing as that is a Death Eaters favorite pass time, I'd recently become more and more willing. I drank almost every night now, not getting drunk, just drinking enough to dull the memories that never wanted to rest. Dumbledore, Lily, Charity, Harry. Harry would die before the end. Dumbledore had told me that. "Harry must die," he'd said "and Voldemort must be the one to do it." He'd told me that I must be the one to relay this information to Harry. That was my task now. Like Harry would even believe him of all people. Yeah, that would go over well. Let me see, Severus Snape who is widely believed to be in league with the Dark Lord, and not with out reason, telling Harry Potter to let the Dark Lord kill him. I see that going swimmingly. But regardless I am determined to do my job. I only have to survive this long enough to make Harry understand what must be done, whatever it costs me. But it's so much easier said than done. How could I possibly come to terms with the fact that the very person I spent the last 17 years of my life protecting has to die? That not only do I have to tell him that he has to die but if he even believes me I have to let him die. Hell, I'll probably have to watch him be murdered. How could Dumbledore come to terms with that? Had he known from the start? What kind of man could do such a thing? There must be another way. There has to be another way. I just cannot live with the fact that Lily's son, who ever the father may be, would be murdered. But then again, there is a high probability that I won't have to live with it at all.
