Chapter 1: The Letter
"Get the mail boy!"
Commanded Uncle Vernon as Harry placed the breakfast on the table.
"Yes uncle Vernon."
He sighed. He picked up the pile of letters at the door and shuffled through them. And then he saw it. A letter, for him. It was so plainly addressed that it couldn't possibly have belonged to anyone else. Harry slid it in his back pocket to read later (Uncle Vernon had scolded Harry for reading a book at the table once because he said it was rude) and made his way back to the kitchen. He passed Uncle Vernon the other letters and quickly finished his tiny bacon. As soon as he was back in the cupboard, he opened the letter addressed to,
Mr Harry Potter,
Wherever he lives now.
Harry, being Seven years old found it odd that an adult would write such a thing and instantly assumed it was from one of the children at his school. What he didn't expect was a letter from his deceased mother.
Harry,
If you're reading this, I've been killed by a dark wizard named Voldemort. Assuming Dumbledore sent you to live with my sister, you won't know anything about magic as she always hated anything to do with it. Here's the truth Harry, magic is real. There is such thing as witches and wizards and when you turn eleven you will be going to Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Here's a story that I need you to remember. Long ago, well, not really that long ago, I met a boy named Severus. He told me all about magic and he was my best friend forever. Now, everyone in the wizarding world thinks that I married a man named James Potter and had you, but that's not true. In reality, I married Severus. A war was going on and he was a spy for the light side. We weren't safe, so he had to wipe his memories so Voldemort couldn't read his mind. He's you're dad Harry. As soon as you get to Hogwarts, I want you to make your dad proud. If you make him proud enough, his memories will come back. If he is persistent to hate you because you look like James Potter, Show him this letter. I want you to know that your daddy loved you very much Harry. He loved you so, so much.
P.S to Harry: You're last name is Snape.
P.S to Severus: I will always love you, no matter what.
Lots and lots and lots of love,
Lily Snape
Harry was crying when he finished reading the letter. He wasn't sure whether they were happy tears or sad tears, but he made a promise to himself that he would make his dad proud.
