Harry stood there holding the letter he had found in Snape's pocket. He still found it hard to fact the fact a man he had hated for seven years had loved his mother.
He sighed and looked down at the letter, the word 'Severous' was written on the front in his mothers writing. Harry closed his eyes for a brief second and took the letter from the envelope while opening them. The letter looked as if it had been read many times before and had dry tear marks stained the parchment slightly. 'Were they my mums or Snape's?' Harry wondered, 'could be both'. The letter read,

My dearest Sev,

Me and James have been in hiding for a week or so now and I fear for our lives, for Harry's life. I hope you are ok and life is treating you well.
James has Harry on a broomstick already. It's only a toy one that rises a small bit of the ground but he keeps flying around the house with James chasing after him, it's driving me barmy. I wish I could see you again to hear your voice, see your eyes and that smirk I hate so much. I really do hope I see you again and I truly wish I had forgiven you back at school. I mean you threatened to sleep outside the Gryffindor common room for goodness sake... I love you Sev. You were like a brother to me for all those years and I love you in a way I can't love James . However, I love James in a way I can't love you. I'm sorry Sev, I really am.
Best wishes and good luck for you're future, Sev, I pray it will include me one day.
Love Lilly x

Harry's tears added to the parchment his fingers brushing his mothers words. Ginny went and stood next to him, she pulled him into a tight hug and they stood there for what seemed like hours not ever wanting to let go.
