James,
That was so cute, you know. That you didn't want to say 'die'. Or write it, or whatever. So, here's the deal, James. The prophecy, it's dangerous. Albus is certain they'll look for me now, and if they find you, and manage to find out what I'm doing- James, you can't withstand truth potions- then I'm doomed. Gideon and Fabien have already been killed. They were killed four months ago, but I didn't tell you because I didn't want to worry you, and I didn't even want to write it. Sorry, I should have.
Anyway, me, Alice and Frank, we're going to make a run for it, today, yes, today. So, James, if I haven't arrived on your doorstep by the day you get this, then I'm dead. I'm frightened about it, of coarse, but it's our only chance. I think I have- I think we all have known for a while, it was going to come to that. We can't use portkeys, or floo, we're just going to have to run, and trust in the element of surprise.
Well, that's it, really. Apart from, well, I don't think you'll be surprised by this. You probably won't think the news worth the paper it's written on but, straight out, Severus Snape is a death eater. That's all. I'm hurt, because he was my friend, he comforted me a lot- often after you'd been your most infuriating, actually- he was nice. You were wrong, at the start, about Snape, but he changed, and now you've been proven right. Snape and me, we chose different paths, I don't hate him anymore, I'm just disgusted by him.
And I love you. They say life flashes before every man when they die, but I'm not dead. Do you remember the first day we met, and you pushed me and Snape into the lake- oh, how I hated you! I did have me reasons, of coarse, you were always pranking me and the boy I called best friend back then, and sometimes, like that time you body bound me, it was kind of painful. But.. do you remember on our first day in seventh year, when I realise you were head boy? You! At the time, I thought Albus was mad, but now, well, you aren't the perfect goody-goody cliché head, like Remus, but I think you're brave, strong, and when it matters, kind, comforting, sweet. Anyway, I thought you'd stolen Remus' badge! Really! I'm so glad you were Head though, us being forced to work together was really what made me realise that you're kind of nice. And do you remember our first kiss, well, our first kiss as opposed to you smashing your lips into mine, for a dare or something? I remember you pulled my off the dance floor, and I was all irritated and chucked my glass at you, then you kissed me. Ah, the best moment of my life. Scariest moment of my life. I didn't know what to do. I'd realised I loved you, by then, I think.
You were an arrogant toerag, yep, you were once, but, like Snape, you changed, and I love you now a lot.
Lily.
