The Letter
Harry Potter
By Ayesha Raees
Summary: One Shot Harry finds a letter from Lily Potter to Severus Snape.
Harry James Potter sat in the headmaster office, signing some paper work. He sighed loudly and rubbed his green eyes from underneath his glasses and dropped his quill over the parchment. He took out his wand and with a single wave; his paperwork piled up neatly at the corner of his desk and with another wave, a cup of tea appeared in front of him.
Since he was elected the headmaster of Hogwarts, he had hardly anytime to spend with his wife who was a famous healer. He did give a small nod to his children when he would pass them in the corridor. His life had gone from busy to hectic but Hogwarts was his home now…
He sipped his tea and stretched before getting up and walking towards his a cupboard which he opened, quickly. In it was a small chest where he had put his family's album. He took the silver chest and was about to shut the cupboard when he saw a small parchment at the back of the cupboard.
Frowning, Harry stretched his hand towards it and snatched it before slamming the cupboard shut. He went back to his desk and sat down.
He put the chest on the desk and then looked at the old parchment in his hands. He turned the envelop around on his fingers and frowned at the words printed in front of it.
"TO SEVERUS SNAPE" Harry read aloud and then opened the letter and started to read it:
Dear Severus Snape
How are you? I know I shouldn't be asking this as we are not friends anymore. But still deep down you are still the person I used to know.
I have been meaning to say this for a long time but I never really had the guts to say it until now. I never really meant to break up with you, I was just angry at you and your friends. I know you are not like them, you wouldn't hurt anyone... I know you.
I want to say I am sorry at how I acted in school. I hope you forgive me. I know you would…
I still remember the day when you jumped from the bushes and called me a witch. It makes me laugh now, those days… when we were kids and didn't care about anyone except having fun. Petunia really hated you; I guess she hates you now too. She was quite jealous I think, we were lucky to go to Hogwarts… because if I wasn't a witch, we would have never met.
Tomorrow's Halloween so happy Halloween! Remember we used to play pranks on other kids when we were at Hogwarts? I still remember those days… food covered in spiders. Dumbledore used to get so cross at us.
Maybe after Halloween we can meet and have a cup of coffee together. We really need to catch up.
Well I see you later.
Congratulations for being selected to teach potions in Hogwarts.
Love from
Lily Evans Potter.
Harry smiled slowly and sadly as he stuffed the letter in the silver chest. Lily had died at Halloween. The very next day after Snape had received the letter, Lily was killed. Harry wondered if Snape ever replied to the letter and if he did, did Lily even received it?
Harry breathed in sharply and smiled slowly. He knew that he would never know the truth...
