Lily,
Your son is brave. I know it.
Like I said years before. He's just like you.
This will be the last letter I write to you.
Harry is not under my care anymore, and I have been told to leave the home I had grown a family with my husband for the time being. Dark times are coming, and we need to be put to safety. I guess being family with the famous boy of the wizarding world has its downsides.
Harry was such a good boy, Lils. If only you got to see him grow into the man he is today. He would've made you so proud, Lily.
I know that even though I will not be able to protect him from the dark forces that took you. You will look over him. You and James. I know he is not alone, he has great friends and a family from one of his best friends that care for him so much. His name was Arthur Weasley. Bunch of kids, all red heads. If only I could talk to them about you
But that will have to wait.
Talk to you when it is my time, Lils.
I love you.
and for old times sake...
Signed, Petunia (Tuney ) Evans.
