I don't like to lie, especially not to my best mate. James and I have been best friends since our first year at Hogwarts. Same with Remus, he's really great too; we don't keep secrets from each other. It's just not done. The only person we don't tell everything is Peter; sometimes he has a tendency to burst out with things at the dinner table. But I'm getting off subject here. The point of this letter, to you is that I don't lie to James. I can't keep this up. We've been keeping this a secret for almost two whole years now, but I can't do it anymore. He is so into you, all he ever does is talk about you. He can't understand why you keep turning him down. We're going into our seventh year after this summer, and he is determined to get you to go out with him. I've tried to tell him about us, so many times, but every time I mention your name, he seems to go off in a trance. Then he just won't shut up about you. He starts talking about your favorite color, or your favorite drink, or you're favorite meal. And every time he starts I have to bite my tongue so I don't correct him, he has yet to get a single one of them right. I hope that if he ever does get to go out with you, he'll learn to get everything right. But for now he's completely hopeless. That first night, out by the lake, when you and I started, I promise you I will never forget what happened between us. I really do love you, but in James' mind he has already staked a claim on you. It would be breaking the bond of our friendship for me to tell him about us. If I try he'll attack me, and honestly that scares me. Not because I think he could beat me, but because I can't imagine a life without him as my best mate. You and James will always hold a place in my heart, forever. I'm so sorry about me telling you this way. I wanted to tell you in person, but a strange fate has been brought down on me. So this is my only way of telling you. I hope that you will take care of my owl, he always like you. Remember that I will always be there for you, no matter what happens to me. James will take care of you just don't forget something okay? Never forget that I love you, I love you so much.
Goodbye my Lily.
Love forever your guardian angel.
Sirius Black
