Reflections
(Lily's view)
I love you, baby. I watched you grow up, and I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, there to raise you. My sister shouldn't have treated you that way, but deep down, you know she loves you, right? I want you to know I watched over you, every day, every night, all the time…
It's hard watching over you, with all the trouble you get yourself into. I blame your father for that; you inherited his knack for trouble. Although, unlike him, you don't search for the trouble. Hmmm…I guess you got that from me, too…
I'm sorry you had to face Voldemort. I wish he could have been defeated before you were even born. I wish he wasn't so evil. What drives someone to kill? I guess I'll never understand that. Harry, I want you to know, that I even though I couldn't prevent those things from happening, I watched over you. Nothing was going to happen to you. Not on my watch…
Harry, when you got your acceptance letter, we were so happy for you! Your entire first year had been a roller coaster ride, but you survived it. I didn't think we could be any more honored to have had you as our son, even if our time with you was cut short.
Then, your second year came along…slaying a basilisk! How reckless could you get? Nonetheless, we were proud of you.
In your third year, you thought Sirius was after you. I hated that you thought that, but didn't blame you. Back when you were a baby, Sirius sometimes tried to kidnap you from us. We always caught him in time, but there were times…oh, sometimes you just want to strangle your friends. And Remus beiung your teacher was just…perfect! I knew there was someone to protect you! He really helped you out that year, and I couldn't have been more thankful!
In your fourth year, I was shocked. No, my baby couldn't enter that tournament! But, you proved us wrong. You did wonderfully, Harry. You were so strong, and brave. You got to see me…we weren't lying. You were so brave; like I said, we weren't lying.
Your fifth year was so hard on you. I'm so sorry for everything that happened that year. When Sirius joined us, he told us how great you were. He told us how much you defended us, how you could tell you loved us. You loved your parents, even though you hadn't met us yet. Harry, we love you too.
I thought your sixth year was very…interesting! Ginny, first of all, is a wonderful match for you! I love that you found someone so nice…she seems to make you very happy. As for Dumbledore…when he joined us here, he told us all about what your future will hold. Harry, we'll always be watching over you.
Wow. My son…defeated Voldemort? All I can say is that I told you we'd always be watching over you. Peter joined us a while ago, and we forgave him. We don't blame him. Remus…poor Remus. He had to deal with what we had to deal with. We promised that we would help him watch over Teddy as he watched over you.
I still find it hard to believe I'm the grandmother of three beautiful children! I know they never met me, but I love them so much! I love Teddy too, for that matter. I really hope he marries Victiore! They're perfect for each other!
All I can say is that I couldn't have asked for a better son. I love you, baby.
Always have.
Always will.
*Author's Note* I hope you liked it! I'm not sure how well I did, so reviews are welcome! If you didn't like it, you can rant about how bad it was, seriously. I'm not kidding! It'll help me become a better writer! Flamers are welcome! In this I tried to capture how Lily must have felt about Harry, but seeing as I'm only 14, and never had kid before...and am still alive...well, that's kind of hard. By the way..she's supposed to be in heaven and watching over with Harry, and kind of speaking to him. You can have your own take on it if you want. Anywyas, have a good day! And thank you soooooo much for reading! :)
