Prologue

At the ministry of magic on the 27th of December there was a red headed girl filled with sorrow. Her 3 year course for aurror training had finally ended and she had finally graduated she should be happy yet she felt so hollow. Lily Evans was her name. Her father had spent a whole year struggling to battle lung cancer and now it had finally beaten him. Then and there she decided to give up her job as a newly trained aurror and find something else to do. Something less strenuous.

The next week lily and her mother, Kristy, went through her father's stuff. Everything which was once rubbish to Kristy is now gold. Everything brought back memories of Steve Evans. Not long after they started both of them started to bawl their eyes out. Just looking at her father's football brought tears in lily's eyes.

All of a sudden an owl appeared at the window and was tapping at it to get lily's attention. Lily got up to untie the note at the owl's feet.

Lily

Your needed now at work come quickly pig face is getting annoyed.

Jake

Lily gave a small smile when she read it. Lily found work as an employee of pig face a.k.a Gary Fudge. Jake was a close friend and of course co-worker.

"Who is that from?" at the sound of Kristy's voice lily jumped.

"Oh…just a friend. I got to go to work mum. If you find anything you will tell me won't you"

"Sure dear have a lovely day at work."

As lily disapparated, she found a box in Steve's cupboard addressed to Kristy. She opened the box and found a note.

Dear Kristy,

By the time you get this I will be long gone. In this box there are things for you and both Petunia and Lily. First of all I want you to know no matter what happens in the near future or the future 10 years from now you will always be loved. Even if I am not there petunia and lily will be by your side always.

Also in the box are two letters one addressed to Petunia and one to Lily. I hope that these letters and the things contained in the box will help you and our two beautiful daughters to move on in life.

Love always

Steve

P.S I love you

By now Kristy was quietly sobbing her heart out. Lyra, lily's owl appeared then as if knowing there is a message to be sent. Kristy quietly said to the owl "go and give this to lily please, she'll need it."
