I'd Lie
This is the side of the story you haven't heard.
Truth be told, you don't know much about the entirety of my story sans for bits and pieces; a little gist of what you think you may know. You know my name, who I married, my school achievements, and my involvement in the war, but most importantly, you know about my son. But there are many things you don't know about me and will probably never know.
Some things, they say, are better left unsaid. I am, however, willing to share some aspects of my life that truly affected me most. Aspects of my life that involved people that truly impacted the person I was. Or rather, one person that helped shape me into the person I became.
Harry James Potter was the best thing to ever happen to me. Of all my achievements and milestones, giving birth to my son was by far the greatest of all. Although I only had one year with him, it was the most joyous and fulfilling year I ever experienced, even if it was during a time of war. The last year of my life was the most lively and who could say that their last year was their best? Not many, I suppose.
If I had to do it all over again, I would.
In a heart beat.
Every single time.
I was a lucky woman. I truly was. I married the love of my life. It was a long road full of its ups and downs, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I can honestly say that the man I married was my soul mate, and together we made one remarkable young boy together.
While James was my soul mate and Harry the love of my life, they certainly weren't the only loves in my life.
Oh no, there was another man that holds a special place in my heart. Meeting him was one of the most defining moments of my life, and his friendship was one of my saving graces. I never loved any other man like I loved Remus Lupin.
And I will tell you why, if you have the time.
