BlakMagiK: Thanks for your review, I'm not offended by it in anyway, I'm really sorry you feel this way about my story, I never intended to take Schizophrenia lightly when I started writing this story, I do realise my information may be a little incorrect, this was to fit the story, and make it more plausible, I tried however to keep the main things as correct as I could. I'm very sorry to hear about your family, I'm currently raking up 1000's of dollars in student debt so that I can become a psychologist and help people such as them, but thank you for what you said, it's really made me think and I'll try even harder to make sure I don't make light of Schizophrenia, as has always been my intention. ^_^

Dear Percy,
I know you will think me a coward for not telling you this sooner, and for doing it in writing rather than face to face, however I cannot bring myself to do this in any other way. I watched you grow up and become one of the brightest young minds at Hogwarts. I was so proud of you when you were named Head Boy. Yes, my 'cold heart' is capable of feeling pride and love.
So many times I wanted to tell you this. So many times I tried to get the words to leave my mouth, but they wouldn't.
I was 18 when you were conceived; your mother was only 17. We were children ourselves. At the time we were very much in love and wanted to keep you and have our own little family. However your grandparents on my side threatened to disown me if I continued my relationship with your mother or kept you.
I am ashamed to say I did as my parents told me and left you and your mother. I secretly sent your mother letters and money to help her, but it was too much. At 3 months old, without me ever seeing you, your mother had you adopted by her sister.
By this I know you will have guessed that your mother is no other than your aunt Sarah-Ann. As for myself, why I am the loathed potion master Severus Snape.
I know I do not deserve to be part of your life, but know that I love you and regret not telling you this. I'm remorseful that I did not bring you up myself.
I had a traumatic and harsh childhood; I did not want to place that upon you. I knew that Molly and Arthur would give you the best upbringing possible, so I signed the adoption papers.
After my involvements with Voldemort, I came to work at Hogwarts and was able to learn of your life, your primary schooling, how you loved to read and the promise you showed.
Then when you came to Hogwarts I got to see you for the very first time, other than in photographs. I was so proud of the handsome young man you were becoming. You held your head high, worked hard and carried many of the same values as me. You looked so much like your mother, until then the only person I had ever loved, you become the only other one my heart ever felt anything other than hatred or annoyance towards.
When you became Head Boy I almost cried for the second time in my life; the only other was when I left you and your mother. You had accomplished so much already; I knew one day that you could become Minister of Magic or anything else you so desired. Then this business blow up in both our faces. Not knowing that she was your birth mother, you moved in with Sarah-Ann and I was living under the same roof as you. You had given me everything already, just by being alive, and still you gave me more, by bringing me back to your mother, whom I love more than life.
I know you may hate me, may never want to talk to me again, want to hit me and yell at me. And if you so desire you may do so, but I hope more than anything that you may find it to forgive me and maybe even get to know me as your father, rather than the greasy git, and that the same may go for your mother.
Love your father,
Severus Snape.

Dear Git,
I want nothing to do with you; I can't believe you would do this to me and Sarah-Ann. At least she had a valid reason.
I hope to never see you again.
Percy

Love you,

Dear,
Yes, I thought as much. Percy left this morning for Hogwarts; I have written to Albus and he says he will be happy for us and Hermione to travel back there ourselves whenever is convenient. He has arranged for Portkeys, after your flight experience, although I must say flying is enjoyable in my opinion. We could join the Mile High Club ^_~
Love,
SA
