Angry letter to writers
A/N: Yikes. I made a huge mistake here. I accidentally put Patronus, instead of Boggart. Thank you, to the Guest who pointed that out.

Chapter 11: Lily Potter, Nee Evans
Dear Fanficiton writers
Severus and Lily fanfiction? Never going to happen.
Severus was my friend. Nothing more, nothing less. At one point, I might have started to have feelings towards him. But that all disappeared when he started to indulge himself in the Dark Arts, thinking that will impress me. That was his foolish choice. Why would I find anyone who joins a organization whose goal is to exterminate people like me impressive? He chose his own way, and I chose mine.
In fact, Severus went to Dumbledore and asked him to protect me. While I'm grateful for that, did he care if my husband or my baby lived? No, in fact he didn't care if Voldemort killed them or tortured him. If Severus really believed I would be grateful to him because he only asked me to spare me, I'm sorry, but he is not as smart as I believed he was. How would I have a happy life when my love and my child died?
Also, one thing people misunderstand about me. I did not marry James so I can get back at Severus. During my first 5 years at Hogwarts, I despised James for being an "Arrogant Toerag" (my own word). I still despised James for a while even after the "Mudblood incident." Later years, when James deflated his head and acted more maturely, I started to fall in love with me. If he carried on his way of being who he was, I would have never fall in love with me. Do you really think I would have married someone I hated just so I can have revenge on a friend who called me a derogatory term? If I wanted revenge, I would have looked for other ways.
Also, I truly love James. He did not force marriage on me or anything. As I said, James showed me he could change, showing there is a side of him that I would grow to love.
Also another thing. I don't think I would be automatically be able to forgive Severus. While I am very grateful that he thought of me specially all these years and protected my son, what he done after is just not something to be forgive easily.
One thing that infuriated me most was the way he treated Harry. Harry may look like James but he is a different person. If Severus truly felt sorry for what he did, he could have started it new with Harry. But what does he do the very first time he see's him? Accuse him of being a celebrity. He refuses to even get to know Harry to see if he is really an arrogant man like his father once was. That is hard to forgive.
Another thing that shocked me even more was the way he treated Neville. Severus treated Neville so harshly. If he did that because he believed that if Neville became the Boy-Who-Loved, I would have lived, I am appalled. Neville's fate was just as bad, if not worse than Harry's. While his parents may be alive, they were permanently stuck on hospital, unable to recognise their own son. That is worse than having his own parent dead. If Severus bullied Neville for this reason, I am truly appalled. I sincerely hope that was not the reason. I wish to believe my once friend still has more good in his heart.
Lastly, what made me disappointed in Severus is what he became. I am happy that he reformed and became a spy for Dumbledore. But while he was a spy, he was also a teacher. As a teacher, he should have been unbiased and fair. But he was anything but that. He was biased for anyone who wasn't his house. One thing that hurt me most was that he became a bully, when he was the victim of bullying. Think about it. Neville's Boggart is Severus. Is it normal for a teacher to be student's greatest fear? I shudder to think about what Severus did to cause this.
Lastly, please understand that Harry is my son and he is also James' son. He is not Sirius, Severus or Remus' son. For Harry to be their son, that means I had an affair on my husband, and I would never do such thing. I love my husband very much.
Sincerely Lily Potter Nee Evans
P.S I do not look like my daughter in law Ginny Potter. We may both have red hair, but even that, I believe is different shade. Mine is more auburn.
A/N:Thank you all for those who left a review!
