Chapter 6
My dearest son,
Alexis,
If you are reading this then you now know the truth. I am sorry for giving you to my dear friend Lily and her husband James to bring up as their own.
You may or may not know that my friend Lily had tried many times to have a child of her own but after many miscarriages, nothing could be done.
When I heard that my husband, your father, Severus had joined the deatheaters, I knew that I could never let you, our child grow up like that, being trained to serve that muggle hating, dark lord, LV and to one day join his ranks when you were old enough.
Earlier, when I held you in my arms I knew with every fibre in my being that I'm doing the right thing. I know that Lily and James will love you as their own. Please remember that I will always love you. I get the feeling that LV wants me dead and if that is true, (which I have no doubt of), then I shall not be here much longer which is another reason why I have to give you to the Potters, along with the fact that they are against the dark and will fight for the light till the end which is I hope before you are old enough to understand what is going on.
My parents and one of my brothers are dark and love to serve LV. I never wish for you to grow up in that environment. I know that Lily and James along with my other brother Sirius will make sure that you grow up in a loving environment and have a happy childhood. If for any reason this hasn't happened, then I'm sorry.
I have told my old headmaster, Albus Dumbledore to keep an eye on you while you grow up. I have also instructed him to wipe all of your father's memories of your birth because I know that if he had even a small inkling that you were alive then he would not stop until he had you back.
I'm sure by now that you are in Hogwarts and know your father. I must apologise for his behaviour because I have seen what a snarky, sinister git he becomes. I know that he will treat you even worse because of his newly found nature and also because you were brought up as James Potter's son. You are supposed to be the son of his worst tormentor from school.
I have set up a vault in Gringotts for you. It is not much, but my share of the Black fortune is there along with some of my possessions and a pensieve with copies of some of my memories in there. You will find memories of my Hogwarts days in there and so they will include the marauders, Lily and your father. My diary is also in there. It is charmed so that if you write questions on the first page, they will be answered. However after the first page, my thoughts begin. Please retrieve these items and keep them safe. I hope that they will show you that your father was once different to the person he is now in your time. He could be like that again, if he only had you back in his life.
Please think about what I have told you before making any rash decisions. Take care and good luck.
I love you,
Your mother,
Marcia Black.
P.S. Included is your key to the vault and also a necklace please wear it for me, it will provide protection for you. Your real birthday, just in case you were wondering is the 24th of July. Take care of yourself and please go easy on your father. I love you.
A/N: okay people I have 1 vote for Harry to leave and 1 for Harry to stay. Make your minds up people is he going or staying? As always read and review! All reviews greatly appreciated! Flamers will be used to warm my computer room in the early mornings when I write this stuff!
