Passing Graces
Dear Severus,
I know I haven't always been the nicest person to you, I am now also aware that I stole the woman you loved too. I'm sorry that I was mean to you, but right now I need this of you, tonight Voldemort plans on killing me, and who ever is with me. I can't bear to watch Lily and Harry die because I was marked for death, she'll resist but I've sent her to you, Remus and Sirius are bringing her and Harry to you. You will of course have access to our account; you may do whatever you wish with the money. Lily will be free again, and if you win her heart fairly I will concede forever that she is yours. You don't know how much this favor means to me; please don't think of Harry as a burden either, if it is at all possible treat him like your own. I don't know if this will help or not but, he has Lily's eyes. Take care of them both for me Severus; I know you're strong enough. Thank you.
James Potter
