For you.
...
The cold air chills me as I enter the snowy town. It's just as I remember it. Charming. However, I don't have long and so I hurry. I shouldn't be here but I had to come.
The silver cemetery gate swings open with a creek. I know where you are. Only a few seconds and I'm there. My black robes billow around me as I kneel toward you.
"Lily?" I whisper.
"It's me." I say.
For a moment I only stare at you.
"He's safe Lily. We... Dumbledore made sure." I croak.
"He's with Petunia." I sigh.
I remember the night I found you. I'll never forget it. I did everything I could to save you, to save your boy, to save him...
"I'll protect him Lily... I promise."
I bite back the three words I find on the very tip of my tongue and instead conjure to wreaths of Lilies. One for you and one for James.
"It's from Harry." I say bitterly.
And then, I'm gone.
