A/N: This is going to be the last chapter in the story and it's supposed to be a fan letter. I wrote it as if it could be a letter from a fan in the wizarding world, but I also wanted to make it seem like it could be written by fans of the books and what we would say to Harry. I hope everyone likes it and don't forget to leave a review!
A year passed, and a few days after Harry had opened and read the letters from his friends, he saw it. A lone letter lying on the table by the door. He scanned the envelope with the scrawled writing on the front. The handwriting was unfamiliar, which made him suspect it was a fan letter of some kind. He had received a fair amount in the time immediately following the battle but the number had gradually dwindled as time went on and his story became older, slowly fading into the background and taking him with it.
He appreciated the peace. It was something he hadn't been able to have in years, but on the other hand, he enjoyed hearing from people who knew his story. It was with that in mind that he retreated to his favorite chair by the fire and began to read the letter.
Dear Harry,
Like most people, I know your story. I know the story of everything that happened between you and Voldemort. I actually grew up with this story, which isn't too hard to believe. A lot of people have grown up knowing all about you and learning even more as the years went on.
It seemed that everyone knew everything about your life. It's probably one of the disadvantages of being famous; you never get any privacy. Everyone knows your business. But while this might not have been beneficial to you, I'm glad you're famous. The reason I say this is because you and your friends have taught me so much over the years.
Firstly, you've taught me that love and friendship really is more powerful than hate. Without the love shown by you, your friends, and most importantly, your mother, Voldemort might not ever have been defeated. You taught me how to be brave and that sometimes you don't have the time or the resources to come up with a well thought out answer. Sometimes you do just have to wing it and hope for the best.
I know all about your friends, too and they've taught me a lot as well. Hermione taught me that it can really pay off to be smart, but also that being clever or talented isn't always the most important thing in life. Ron taught me all about the important of friends and family and loyalty to them. He also showed me how important believing in yourself really is.
Fred and George taught me the importance of following your dreams, no matter what anyone thinks and that laughter really is the best medicine.
Remus and Tonks, as well as your parents, showed me just what a parent will do for their child and to ensure that they can have a better life. Sirius taught me about friendship and loyalty and the importance of never betraying your friends.
Neville taught me the true meaning of courage and that it takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies, but even more to stand up to your friends. He taught me that if you have enough confidence, you can do anything.
Luna taught me to always be myself, no matter what, and to not care what anyone else thinks of you. She showed me that everyone has their quirks, but it doesn't make them unworthy of a friendship.
Professor Snape showed me that people aren't always what they appear to be and to never judge a book by its cover. He is also living proof that true love never dies. It lives on. Always.
Harry, you and your friends have been incredible teachers. In reading and hearing about you, I learned a lot of important and valuable lessons. I don't even know you, but you've taught me a lot about life, love, friendship, loyalty and just how important those qualities really are. So thank you, Harry, for everything. Thank you for being an incredible teacher, whether you know it or not. Thank you for being brave. Thank you for never giving up. Thank you for giving me a better childhood.
Sincerely, a fan
