Lament of the Angels

Series of drabbles. Canon compliant. What would the deceased characters of Harry Potter have to say, if they could speak to him from beyond the grave? Rating for caution. ON HIATUS.

2. Lily's Lament

Lament of the Angels:
Lily Evans Potter

I had always hoped I'd be there with you when your day came to shine.

I knew you'd be a glorious hero – oh yes, we knew the prophecy – I just wish I could be there. Your father, Sirius, Albus and I… we all wish we could be by your side right now.

Instead, we are up above; watching over you, guiding you gently.

With us, I pray, you will know no fear.

You are my precious, green-eyed angel, the little boy who could melt my heart with a simple, unassuming smile, who was, in infancy, as mischievous as all the Marauders combined…

And yet, you are more than I could ever have wished to be.

We are here for you – we watched sadly as you suffered at the hands of my sister's family, smiled when you finally arrived at Hogwarts; wept when you suffered, laughed joyously when you gained. There is not a single moment of your life we have missed.

And I promise you, heart of my heart, we will be there, by your side, at the end of all things.

Review if you have somethng to say.
