A Letter
Dear excessivelyperky; you have been one of my most valuable reviewers and I believe I have done you a disservice. Please accept this offering as a thank you for always seeing the manipulation of Dumbledore, and opening my eyes to another side of one of my favourite characters. I hope, this time, I have got it just right. SS19.
Dumbledore,
I have carried out your order. I murdered you. I have destroyed any hope of exoneration by those whom I have wept, bled and nearly died for. I doubt you will ever reveal the truth.
I have carried out every order you gave. I have tainted my reputation, sacrificed my future and shattered my soul, for you.
No more.
I am leaving, Dumbledore. I am packing my few meaningless possessions, the cornerstones of a life led serving two lords, and I will leave this behind.
I will be your puppet no longer, Puppet Master. Find someone else.
Severus Snape.
