Prologue
Living in the midst of war isn't easy. The fact that you could be killed at any moment just makes you appreciate every second that you are blessed with…
We brought you into this world, Harry, into this frigid, senseless world. It has had better times, and there will be bright days ahead but for now, you just have to be strong. I'm sorry that daddy and mummy are leaving you, it breaks my heart that I won't be able to see you grow, to see you off at your first day at Hogwarts, see you opening your gifts at Christmas or sing to you when it's your birthday. But rest assured, darling, daddy and mummy will always be there when you scrape your knee or need our help.
Harry we will always love you, don't you forget that. I wish I could've stayed with you. Be strong my love, be strong like your father. Be kind and loving with those close to you because they are the ones that matter and the ones that shall always stand by your side. You might face some difficult times, I faced many, and believe me when I tell you, it gets better, you will pull through. Fight for the ones you care for, fight for the ones you love. Fight for peace and justice, fight for what you believe is right. Cherish the small moments and the amazing ones.
My son, you will uphold our legacy, youare our legacy… Darling it's up to you to carry on our will, our mission. You will do great things for our world, great things. Darling, I know you can do it, after all, you are James and Lily Potter's son. You are the nephew, not by blood, but by a strong bonds, of Uncle Sirius and Uncle Remus, the most talented wizards I've seen and they will help you, because they love you too, just like many others… as you are special.
He has blasted the door open my love, I should hurry and say good-bye before it's too late. I can't fight back, I have no wand, but I'll do what I can to protect you. I love you so much my angel, don't ever forget that. I'm sorry that I'm crying, I just don't want to say good-bye yet. He's telling me to move away, but don't worry he won't lay a single blood stained finger on you. Mummy's here to protect you.
Your father told me to run, so I did, but when I saw his lifeless body fall to the floor, there had never been greater ache in my heart. My son, you must know, he was a brave man, the bravest I've ever seen. He died… he died to protect you darling and I will die as well, to protect you. You must know, I don't wish to leave you, I want to stay, stay by your side. I wanted to grow old with your father but now I hope you get the gift that I was deprived of. I will not stand aside love, even if he tells me to move. I shall always protect you until I take my last breath and even beyond that.
As I took my lasts breaths I saw your face, your perfect face, Harry and I saw daddy.
James I didn't get to say good-bye, I'm sorry!
James
Harry
My son, my angel, for the sake of your father and I, LIVE!
