A small look at Lily's thoughts before Voldemort bursts in the room...
I would have…
I would have been your mother. I treasured you from the moment I knew you were coming. You were my dream, our dream. Even in this dangerous time, I wanted you more than life itself. You are my son, my heaven on earth, my all.
I would have held you close to my heart. Letting you hear my heartbeat. Strong and fierce, looking over you. Guarding you. Trying to hold you as close as possible.
I would have watched you say your first word, take your first steps, take my hand and hold tight. We would walk through the rain, feel it pour on our cheeks and watch you grin. Jumping in puddles, laughing your adorable giggle.
I would have cherished every fight, every slamming door. Angry and yet loving at the same time. Watching you grow up to a feisty teenager who would be able to be whoever he wants to be. Free to life and be a child.
I would have taught you everything I know. Even helping you to become more, better than I ever was. Helping you develop your knowledge and curiosity. Raising you as a fine young man with a little mischief like our father and godfather. A glimmer in your eyes, telling me you'd be up to no good.
I would have tried to be a good mother. A mother you could be proud of to call your own. Someone you could trust and rely on. Someone who would embarrass you at moment but still you'd know it was out of love. Someone you could call your home.
I would have been all these things with love and gratitude.
I would have loved it all.
I would…
But I couldn't.
Just remember my sweet sweet boy.
You are so loved. Mama loves you. Dada loves you.
Harry,
Be safe.
Be strong.
Thanks for reading. Please leave a review!
It's been a while since I wrote something so it would be very appreciated.
XOXO
