I do not own Harry Potter, sadly.
Harry,
If you are reading this it is because I am dead and cannot tell you this myself. Firstly, I love you with all my heart. But James is not your father. Severus Snape is. I want you to love just as much as you love James and me. I love you Harry.
Love, Mum
"What?" I ask myself. "This cannot be real." I jump up from the couch in the Gryffindor common room. I can't believe it. I walk as calmly as I can to Snape's office. I knock frantically. When he opens his door he looks at me with disgust and I see Dumbledore in the background, thank god. "Professor, I want you to read this." I say as I hand him my mother's letter. Dumbledore eyes me and nods. I look up to Snape…I mean my dad, his eyes wide. "Harry, you are my son." He says and I feel my lungs lose all their air, deflating like a balloon.
It took me years to trust him and even more to love him like my mother wanted me to. On May 2nd, 1998 right after I collected his memories, and after Hermione left with Ron, but right before he died I said to him, "I love you dad. More than anything." The back of my eyes burn with tears. "I love you too, son." He says as the light leaves his eyes.
