Here's the third part of Oh how the years go by. Hope it's better than the second part!
Part 3/4
The Letter
Harry picked up the letter that had fluttered to the floor. Under examination Harry remarked that it was quite old but was not really damaged. He unstuck the seal and opened the envelope. The letter was quite lenghthy, and he began to read it.
Realizing who had written it, he gasped, but continued to read the letter. As he finished, tears streaming down his face, he folded the letter and went over what he has just read in his mind.
**************
Dear Harry,
Your mother and I are very proud of you.
You've graduated from Hogwarts, and are ready to
face the world. This letter was written on the
day you were born, right after I held you for the
first time. I gave it to Dumbledore, knowing he
would deliver it safely on your graduation day.
Looking down at you, I knew I was important. You
were depending on me and your mother for everything.
Your tiny life was in our hands. But I also knew
one day I'd have to let you go. Looking down on
you that day, I saw you were so much like me.
Except your eyes. You have the beautiful eyes of
your mother. I know I must let you go Harry,
but it's so hard. When I wrote this, I only
knew you a couple of hours, but I knew I loved
you. I knew you'd be just like I was, and still
am: fun loving, mischievious and intelligent.
You've learned so much at that school, just as
I and your mother did. But I also know you've
learned at least something from me. I love you,
Harry. And I look forward to watching you grow.
I am giving you a wedding ring. It belonged to
your grandmother on you mother's side. She gave
it to us to give to you. Place it on the finger
of the woman you love. Make sure you are worthy
of each other. Love her and cherish her. Have a
wonderful life son.
Love,
Daddy
************
Harry was staring out of the window.
"Your father did not know he was being searched for when he wrote that letter Harry".
Turning around, he saw Dumbledore standing there, night cap and all.
"He did not know he wouldn't live to see your second birthday, or that you would undergo years of abuse from the Dursleys. He thought he'd be there for you, to hear your first word, to see your first steps, to teach you the ways of the wizarding world. He would have been there if he could've. But his life was robbed from him."
"But why?!" said Harry angrily. "Why my father? What did he do to deserve this? What did I do?"
"Your father was a powerful wizard Harry, as are you. Voldemort was scared. He had to destroy everyone who could defeat him."
"But he didn't beat him. And now he's gone. I was tortured Dumbledore! Tortured! The dursleys treated me like a piece of shit! The only reason they didn't get rid of was because they were scared of wizards and what they'd do! All because the bad guy was scared of my father?"
"Life will never be fair. We just have to take it as it is, Harry. That's all we can do. Now get some rest."
Harry nodded as Dumbledore left the study. He sat ther for a while, until Hermione came in to see why he wasn't in bed. Harry handed her the letter before she could ask about his red, tear-stained face. She read it,folded it up and led Harry back to bed, and she held him, while he cried.
tommorow thing may work out
alright
but that don't hel us much
tonight
So take another drink
and cry another tear
consider me a friend
I'll always be right
here

"You did teach me something, Daddy. To never give up, and to never loose hope, even if the situation apears beyond it."
The end.....
Oh my god! I cried writing that! I think it's pretty good, better than the last pary anyway. I'll have the next part up as soon as I can. C-ya.
Oh, and please see my HP/Recess cast list! I need you opinion!
