A/N: Just a word of warning, I wouldn't recommend reading this chapter in a public place, especially if you don't have any tissues on hand. :). Sorry, Amy, this one fits into the sob-fest 09 category.
We'll Carry On
My dearest Jimmy,
I know your favourite sibling was Albus, even though you'll never admit it. How could he not be though? He was kind, loyal and generous, while I was a temperamental little brat. I know you don't know what we're going to do without him. We'll do what we always do, big brother. We'll carry on like we always do.
I know you hated being named after Granddad and Uncle Sirius, just like I hate being named after Nanna and Aunt Nymphadora. I do- I did- agree with Albus though, that he got the short end of the stick, I mean, come on. Albus Severus? Ew. You got the best name out of the three of us, but we agreed to call you Jimmy, because we did hate it so when you carried on.
I know you called Nanna with the resurrection stone, not Sirius like you told everyone. I know that because I called her and she told me. I kept your secret though, because I know how much the cousins would have picked on you. I know exactly how much they would have carried on about it.
I know you hated that you were the one to find Uncle Neville's body, but you weren't surprised that he'd died with Aunt Luna. You understood that he loved her so much that he couldn't see how to carry on without her.
I know you feel like you failed Al, in not realizing how much he needed us after Alice died. None of us realised though, none of us thought that our dear Al would do what he did. I never told you, but I brought him back, just the once. He told me that it wasn't our fault, that it was no one's fault but his. He told me that we couldn't have stopped him, because he couldn't face the rest of his life without her. He told me to take care of you, he said he wanted the two of us to carry on without him, no matter how hard it might get.
Jimmy, I have no idea how I'm going to make it without you, without him. I've always had the two of you, right there beside me, and I don't know what I'm going to do with myself now that he's gone. I need you, now that I don't have him. I need you here, and I promise you, that somehow, some way, we'll carry on.
Love always,
Lily
A/N: Ok, so I know I just lost myself about 20 bazillion readers, and I can barely see what I'm typing through my tears. Anyway, I apologise if you disagree with me, but this is the way I see it. If you still love me anyway, please review.
