Summary: Lily writes a letter to Harry , No flames please. All flames will be used for my end of school year bonfire.
My dear Harry,
If you are reading this, again my visions have come true, and your father and I have been murdered by Voldemort. There is so much I want you to know Harry, but this is so hard for me. To know that my little baby will grow up without myself and his father is just too much to bare. Right now I am in our backyard sitting under a big oak tree, watching you and James fly. You have loved flying since you were 4 months old. I had left you one day with your father, Sirius and Remus to go to the store. When I returned, you were flying and your smile was so big I couldn't make them bring you down. That doesn't mean that I didn't yell at them for doing it, but I let you fly for awhile.
I feel that first I should explain to you why Voldemort was after your father and I. Your father was the most powerful wizard alive next to your great grandfather, and I Harry was a Seer. Voldemort found out and for months he tried to make us join him. When we refused to join Voldemort, he decided to come after us. I do know that Peter betrayed us, that he is why we are dead now. But that is the pain of being a True Seer. We can tell of our visions if they have nothing to do with the Seers own future, otherwise they cannot communicate it in any way. I know that Sirius will be blamed for our death, and I know that he escapes. When you see him tell him I am so sorry that he went through that and that both your father and I love him. Sirius was like a brother to us both. Sirius was raised to hate muggleborns like myself but he never did. When he went to live with James that made him happy and I hope that when he gets out of Azkaban he can be happy like that again.
When you see Remus tell him I love him. He was my cousin and one of the best friends I ever had. That is I suppose the next thing I shall tell you Harry. I was not muggle born as everyone thinks. You Harry come from a very long line of witches and wizards on both sides. The reason Petunia hates magic is because she is a squib. She was so mad when she did not receive her letter that up until my death she hated me with everything she had. I know you had to spend your childhood with her, and I know that she was so horrid to you, and I am so sorry love. There was no other place for you to go. Yes, James had siblings but they along with my best friends were killed by Voldemort. Dumbledore felt that it would be safest to put you with Petunia. They were dark times Harry and our friends were dying left and right. Your great grandfather had an order that tried to stop Voldemort, which we were all apart of. We were known as the Order of The Phoenix and many of our friends were in it. Even the members of the Order were dying off quickly thanks to Voldemort. My friend Marlene McKinnon and her whole family, Benjy Fenwick, Edgar Bones, Caradoc Dearborn, Gideon and Fabian Prewett, Dorcas Meadows, and I know that after we died Alice and Frank were tortured to insanity. They were good people Harry and Alice was like my sister. We grew up together and Frank was an unofficial Marauder, you would have loved them. I hope that one day they return to normal.
Your great grandfather is still alive, he is none other than Albus Dumbledore. He is your grandfather through my side. My mother was his daughter. Remus is your cousin, because of my father. Sirius was no blood relation but we loved him just the same. My parents and your fathers' parents were killed in a battle against Voldemort. They were wonderful people who would have loved to meet you son, and I am sad that because of one man, your father and I also did not get a chance to know you. My mother was a Healer at St. Mungo's and my father was a curse breaker for Gringotts. James' parents were both Ministry workers. They were part of the Order and a great help finding out things that were going on because his father worked in the Department of Mysteries and his mother was a secretary to the Minister.
You will grow strong I am sure. With Grandpa Albus watching you, and Sirius and Remus to help guide you, I'm sure that you'll be fine. Make friends and hold them dear because next to family they are the most important things in your life that will ever happen. The Weasley's who are Sirius' cousins will help take care of you too. I know that you will be friends with one of their sons and that they will treat you as their own. I am happy knowing that if I cannot be there with you that Molly will be.
I hope that you one day will get to have the family you never had. Know that we tried to fight Harry, we really did, but our attempts did not work. I am sorry. I have many hopes for you as do your father. Hogwarts, Gryffindor, Quidditch, a family, everything that I wish we could be there to see. Know that your Aunt Petunia does love you, she is just jealous of being the only squib in our family in over a century. You will put up with a lot and go through a lot but it will all make you stronger. You will eventually beat Voldemort though it will be a long battle but light always wins over darkness. Your friends will help you through it.
I must go now, you and your father are coming down ready for dinner. The smile on your face is so bright, it matches your fathers. James is yelling for me to hurry up and finish the letter that he and his little man are hungry, that all that flying made you want to eat and you are just smiling away. We love you Harry. Remember that forever and we are watching and protecting you. We will be there with you in spirit and love you very much. Never forget Harry, never forget.
Love always,
Lily Angelica Evans Potter and James Harold Potter

"Harry?" said a voice softly. "Yeah?" replied Harry wiping a tear from his eyes. He had read this letter before and each time it brought tears to his eyes. "Someone wants to see her daddy." replied the voice. Harry got a smile on his face, stood up and walked over to Hermione and took the baby into his arms. The baby looked at her father, with her dark brown hair and bright green eyes she was the spitting image of her mother but with her father's eyes, and gave a little smile. Harry stood their looking at his wife, Hermione, and his daughter, Angelica Marie, and just smiled. He took Hermione into a hug and held the baby at the same time and said quietly, "I love you both you know that?" "We love you too Harry." replied Hermione. She knew he had been reading that letter his mum had written and it hurt her to see him so sad. She stood there for awhile and just held onto her baby and her husband, just enjoying the peace and quiet. After a few minutes she spoke. "Come on love, its late. Let's go to bed." said Hermione quietly. The baby had fallen asleep so Harry walked down the hall and laid her in her crib. He gave her small kiss and then backed out of the room, walked down the hall and climbed into bed next to his wife, falling asleep holding her in his arms.
Thanks for reading a review would be appreciated. No flames please.
