2. To Lily

Chapter Two

Dear Lily,

I'm so, so sorry. It's all my fault. I didn't think- I hadn't known- If I could, I would go back and save you. I even asked Dumbledore to lend me a Time-Turner, to go back and change things. He wouldn't let me, though. But even though I can't save you, I can still help your son. He has your eyes, Lily. Your brilliantly green eyes.

I asked him to save you, you know. It didn't make a difference. But I hope you would know that I would never let you get killed intentionally. I wouldn't even try to get Po- James killed. Hell, even if I wanted to, I couldn't. But that is beside the point. So what is the point, then? I am not quite sure. Maybe that I never meant for this to happen. For you to die.

I loved you, Lily.

Scratch that. I love you, Lily. Always.

I swear to you, I'm going to correct my mistakes. And I'll try to help your son, as difficult as that may be. As I told Dumbledore, I would do anything, Lily.

Love, Sev
