Summary: Harry gets a letter on his 17th birthday from his parents? Now he and his friends are going to do training? HG RH.
Note: In this letter James's writing is italicized and Lily's is in bold. In future chapter italics will be used for thoughts unless noted other wise.
Dear Harry,
We are very sorry you are reading this letter because it means that we are dead. First Harry we want to wish you a happy birthday. You are now 17. We knew we probably wouldn't be here on your 17th birthday, so we wrote this letter. We are very sorry we are not here to tell you what are about to in person. We hope that your life hasn't been too hard. In the envelope that you found this letter in you will find a pin. This pin has the Potter family crest on it. When you are done reading this letter take it out and put it on. This will tell it that you are ready.
You will be going though training. You must tape it once with your wand to send a message to your two truest friends, they will receive a similar message though rather generic and a pin also. Along with your two truest friends the pin will send a letter and a pin to your true love. The magic that causes these messages and pins to be sent is great, so you may feel a bit of magic pulled from you. James says this does not it just feels a little weird. Yes all Potter men go through this training.
This is how all of the Potter me find their true loves, but of course the girl will only train with you if she has met you before. You see when this pin was made (which was a very long time ago) we could not mess with fate so your true love will not receive the letter until they have met you. This is why we got together in seventh year. Yeah Lily finally figured it out ;). Hey I resent that. Anyways when you are ready tap your pin twice and it will take you to your training. When your friends and your love have read the letter they will join you.
Now your training, it will be very long and rigorous but your friends and your self will be well prepared. Harry we know the prophecy and know what you have to do so we have recruited some one else to train you other than the family guardian. He will specialize in wordless and wandless magic, occlumency, and legilimency. The family guardian will specialize in sword fighting, archery, potions, physical combat, and many other things. When you are done with this training we imagine you will be the most powerful witch and wizards alive at least you will be.
You see son, you are extremely special you are an heir of Merlin and Gryffindor. You will be as powerful as both of them. This is all you will need to defeat Voldemort. We should also warn you that today you should be careful about your magic. You have just received a lot of power in turning 17. The use of simple spells could cause sever damage. Have fun the training is hard, and we just had the family guardian. But you will do ok. Sirius and Remus survived with us. We will always love you Harry, happy birthday.
Love,
Lily and James Potter
P.S. - Potter men always fall for red heads.
Harry stared down at the piece of parchment. He picked up the pin and put it on. Harry tapped the pin once and felt a surge of energy and magic leaving him. To send letters and pins to his two truest friends undoubtedly Ron and Hermione. His love, he was afraid to find out, he thought it would be Ginny but he really didn't want her to get hurt, he had to protect her. But if this training worked, as well as it should, there would be no need to. Harry shook his head of these thoughts. He tapped the pin twice and felt a familiar tugging sensation behind his navel.
