The Cover Letter
Dear Harry,
I suppose you're wondering what on earth it is that I'm doing. I wonder myself too. In this box, you'll find a series of envelopes, all containing letters for Teddy. Specific times and dates are wrote on the envelopes, and I'd like if you could give him each one at the correct time. What are they? Exactly what they look like. Letters. They contain advice, photographs, things about mine and Dora's past and information for Teddy about his background.
Why? Well you see Harry, I know there's a strong possibility that I will not survive this war. I might leave my son without a father. I've seen how you've missed out Harry, or been upset because you didn't know James, and I don't blame you. All boys need to have a father. I want to leave my son with something, something that may help him understand more about himself. Something he'll appreciate one day. I know you'll understand what I mean.
I'm leaving them to you because I believe that you will survive this war, that you will defeat Voldermort, and that you will be an important person to Teddy. I can't leave them with Dora because she doesn't approve. She thinks that by preparing for the worst, I've already given up. I haven't, this is just like an insurance policy.
I hope that if worst comes to worst, you will give these to Teddy. The first ones may be read to him, as he won't be able to read, but once that he's old enough, I ask that you'll let him read them alone.
Thank you Harry. I owe you more than you'll ever know.
Remus John Lupin.
A/N: Just a warning, some of the letters will be quite short. This fic was actually inspired by a book called "Dear Sebastian". It's a collection of letters from well-known Irish names and faces to a young boy, whose father died of cancer. In their letters, people from all backgrounds gave the boy advice that he would never be able to get from his dad. So sad. T.T
Thanks for reading, and if you have the time, i'd appreciate a review. :)
