Severus~

How is life at Hogwarts? Same old, same old? I never expected much of that school, never really wanted it to change, though. Times are odd there, I have seen it. The children are afraid. All of them. And the teachers with them. And rightfully so.

Darkness is coming. I know the feelings that everyone is having. I had those feelings before. When we went into hiding. The darkness coming hurt more than I knew. It is hurting you, Sev. I know it is.

You aren't dark like the rest of them. You aren't. You can not be asked to be something that you are not. You are not dark, and therefore, you can not be dark simply because of the Dark Lord's plans. You should be the one that the student's look up to in this time of need, not be the one scaring them.

I know what you have done. Watching over Harry. I cannot thank you enough for it. No, Albus didn't tell me. I could see it. It has meant so much to me that you did that even though no one forced you to. That you would watch out for Harry has meant so much to me.

Thank you for everything that you have done, Sev. I will be waiting at King's Cross for you. Maybe someday, we can make up as friends again.

Love,
Lily
