I thought you were right about everything. For so long, I wanted to be just like you. Then I started to think; did I really want to be a lackey to a guy who, at the height of his power, was defeated by a baby? Father, your side is going to lose. Again. But this time, no one's going to accept you apology, and naming names won't get you out of prison.
Thanks you to, I lost the only thing I've ever loved. She was muggle-born, and your racist ideals caused her death, and mine. I'll be dead by the time you read this, by your hand or mine. With al you've put me through, all you've put your family through, I don't fear death. You're proud to know that, aren't you? That your son wasn't afraid. And credit for that goes to you. All the pain you've made me suffer will make death a welcome respite.
I would, however, like to thank you. You taught me about the reality of the world. You taught me to hide my emotions. And for that, I am grateful. Those lessons served me well for years.
I know that sacrificing myself like this, dying for no reason you will even be able to understand, and going against your lord and master is a disappointment to you. You would rather I die causing pain and suffering to those you think unworthy of life. But I lived for too long trying to please you. MY entire life has been based off of your choices, your ideals, your wishes; my death will be mine and mine alone.
This is goodbye, Father, for the last time. Don't try to change after I'm gone; it won't fix anything, and a life of good will never make you happy. Live the life that you want to live, the way I couldn't, and die the death that suits you.
