I'm sorry Harry.
I'm sorry. Sorry that I snapped at you just for crying in the night (as all babies do) and sorry that you inherited your father's terrible hair (though girls will love it when you're older so I guess you're not sorry). I'm sorry that I didn't play Trolls and Boggarts with you yesterday and didn't spend time with you, my son. I'm sorry that I made Sirius play with you instead, and combined the both of you ended up ruining the house.
I'm sorry for "thrice defying" Lord Voldemort with James, sorry that because of that you are at the centre of a terrible prophecy. I'm sorry for being part of the Order of the Phoenix, but I'm not, because I was fighting for a better future, a better future for you. However, I am sorry for putting my trust in a rat, and I'm sorry to Remus for not putting my trust in him.
I'm sorry for your future Harry. Hopefully Sirius or Remus will be able to look after you, so I'm not too worried about that. I'm sorry that you were marked out an enemy of Voldemort before you were even born, sorry that the Dark Lord loathes you most in the world now. I'm sorry that your future will definitely be grim, and that you will either kill or be killed.
Most of all, I'm sorry that we could never be your parents: not in your memory anyway. I'm sorry that we'll just be distant figures that people talk about, or that couple in a photograph. I'm sorry you'll never have James teaching you to play Quidditch or letting you ride on his Animagus form's back (no, you were only one, I was definitely not going to allow you to ride on his back until you were at least 5!). I'm also sorry you'll never taste one of my cakes (I learned from Tuny) or grow up learning the most you can (I highly doubt Sirius will raise you like this- maybe Remus will, but he's still a Marauder). I'm sorry that you'll never remember how our voices sound when we talk to you, or how our hugs feel.
I'm sorry Harry, but you are our son, and you will be strong. Maybe one day, you'll give me reason not to be sorry at all.
AN/ So, if it wasn't clear, that was from Lily's point of view... This is just a drabble that randomly came up but it's also my first fic! (Victory dance!) However, its also exam week, and I have a COMBINED SCIENCE and MATHS test so that also puts a dampening on my day. :(
Please review!
