Dear Lily,
First off happy birthday and I wish you many more up there surrounded by James and Sirius. It's been such a long time since I last saw you- gosh it seems like an eternity. You should see Harry now too; he's grown so and reminds everyone so much of you and James through appearance and action. He has your bravery and selflessness- you two are more brave and selfless that I could ever be. Lily, he's a great boy; of course he makes mistakes out of love and the teenage mind, but nonetheless you would be so proud of him. And he's going to make it Lily, I know he will. But Lily, I'm a werewolf, and I'm so afraid that I won't make it Lily, make it to see the end of this hell. I have more happiness now though. I'm married. I know you already know Lily just being who you are; and judging by the spark of liveliness you always had in your attitude you'd love Nymphadora. And our son, now I know the pride and happiness James felt when Harry was born. I love Teddy so much. I was worried though for a time; when he was born I was afraid that I had passed on my lycanthropy. Nymphadora and I were lucky though, he merely has werewolf- like tendencies near the full moon. Harry's been made godfather. I know I'm going to die jus as James knew. If anyone should take care of Teddy when Nymphadora and I die during battle I most trust Andromeda and Harry. Harry's been orphaned, but he's found his place and love with his acquired family. I know that Harry will do the same for Teddy surrounding him with people that will forever love him.
Lily I remember you, Harry's got small memories, pictures, and stories of you, Severus remembers you very well. We all remember you vividly.\ and I miss you so. I remember the vibrant red hair not unlike the Weasley's, the emerald eyes, the wit the stubborn streak, the bravery, the kindness, the selflessness, and most of all the ability to be a able to see the good in others when they themselves could not see it. I remember how you accepted me after we became friend and I entrusted to you my deepest secret. I remember I barely knew you and I could not see how James could love such a person, but I soon saw the brilliancy that James adored. I remember you as Lily, one of the greatest t women I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Love now is the only thing that can save us. Love was the only thing that gave us a second chance at peace; your love for Harry did that Lily. All that's left is for us to use Voldemort's weakness, love to win. Love puts courage and hope into our hearts that keeps us strong and fighting to win the victory we all long for.
'Till I see you once again, Happy Birthday Lily
Remus Lupin
Remus slowly waked to the door. He let the letter go out into the wind and watched it sweep it up in its currents. As he turned to close the door he could've sown he heard Lily voice call out to him. "I'm with you and Harry always 'til even after the end of time. Oh, yeah and before I forget James and Sirius offer their congratulations on Nymphadora and Teddy, but Sirius tells me to remind you that you owe him five galleons over some bet you guys had, Men! Anyways, I'll see you soon Remmy,"
He let out a long sigh of relief accompanied with a small chuckle as he shut the door behind him.
