Author's Note: Just a drabble thing about what I thought people would do if they wrote to Lily. Don't expect constant updates.
Dear Lily,
Words could no express my sadness in your death, nor can they really tell you how much I'm sorry for the part I played in it. There is nothing I could say to you that would console you; nothing I could send to you that would give you back the life I practically took. But I can still try.
Your son, Harry, lives though and it's because of you that he did so.
Somewhere above you are looking down on me, but what you are thinking I will never know and whether you forgive I shall never know either. I just thought you should know that I'm going to do what I can to keep your son safe for it's the only thing that could even halfway make-up the unforgiveable to you.
This all for you, in hopes that you'll find somewhere in your heart to forgive me and that is all I ask for.
