~Daughter of My Own Heart~*

Sequel to Lilycius

Lily sat down at the large mahogany desk and poised her quill above a fresh sheet of parchment. This was the hardest letter she ever had to write but knew it had to be done. She took a deep breath and pressed the quill to the page and wrote away her love for Lucius Malfoy.

My dearest Lucius, Sep, 19, 1979

I write this letter to you with a heavy heart. We have been together for six wonderful years and I wonder where we went wrong? What words were said or not said that drew you so far away from me? I know about Narcissa and I know that you love her and I will not try and take you away from her if she truly makes you happy. I know that this relationship has been hard for you. Especially when our attempts to have a baby have been unsuccessful thus far. I wasn't ready to give up… I wanted to stay with you forever and have a perfect family together. You've made your choices and I am making mine. I'm leaving the manor and I am marrying James in seven days. I have not and never will break our vows and I hope that you will not either. These years have been the best I've known, I just wish that we could go back to that wonderful year at Hogwarts. We were so happy then. After you left and graduated, things took a turn for the worse and I think that might be where we went wrong. I wore your ring for three years at school and our engagement was certainly public. After six years, I think it's time it is returned to its rightful owner. There is another letter I have written enclosed with this one. I ask that you not open it until fifteen years from this day on September nineteenth, nineteen ninety-four. I know fifteen years is a very long time and I know you won't listen to me and will try and open the enclosed letter. To make sure you won't, I've charmed it so nothing can get into the sealed envelope until the exact day in September. You will forgive me when that day comes, I promise. Remember, Lucius Malfoy, you proposed to me on that night on the balcony six years ago. But even after six years you have still never agreed to marry me. That alone broke my heart. I do hope Narcissa will make you happier than I could my love. Do know you will forever and always be the love of my life, first and foremost. I vowed that to you six years ago and it will always remain true. I carry your love in my heart Lucius. Goodbye.

Forever yours,

Lily Evans

Lily folded up the piece of parchment and slipped it into the envelope. She picked up the second letter and slipped the diamond and emerald engagement ring off of her finger. With one last look at the beautiful ring she had worn faithfully for six years, she tucked it into the envelope and sealed it with an unbreakable charm. She then placed the sealed letter beside the other on Lucius' desk and rose from the chair. With one last look around the magnificent mansion that would've been her home, she apperated out of the manor to begin a new life without Lucius Malfoy.
