61- Death letter

5k! Thank you so much! Heart breaking chapter below. My favourite kinds of updates *smirks*

Letter read out at church by 14 year old Lily Luna Potter, being the only to accept to do so. Teddy is dead. Her last two questions leave them to think. It's a question that won't leave them soon, and they certainly won't forget a grief-stricken 14 year old girl spoke them.

To my older brother, my best friend, my saviour,
There are so many things, I don't even know where to begin. First of all, I'd like to mention that just because I'm the only one who accepted to speak, it doesn't mean I'm grieving any less. If something, I'm grieving even more. I'd like to correct something you said previously, (Lily turns towards the priest, obviously addressing him personally) Edward Remus Lupin's life was NOT a tragedy, (Lily raises her voice and it echoes strongly around the church) it was filled with happiness and joy. You may think that no, he had no parents, no, he had no siblings, that no, he wasn't loved. But you're wrong! (Lily is nearly screaming now, on her last word her voice cracks) Harry and Ginny were his parents, me, James and Albus were his siblings. We all loved him. I loved him. Maybe a bit too much. (By the last sentence her voice has lowered, coming out shaky and low) When I felt like the world was slipping through my fingers, that no one loved me, he was there. He was the ONLY one there. In my life I have been dumped, thrown aside and beaten. No one cared. But he did. He was the one who found me sobbing my heart out. When I ran away or hid, he was the only one to find me. He always knew where I was. He knew everything about me. He knew when I was wrong. When I was guilty. I could always rely on him to sort things out. I screamed at him and kicked him, but he stood by me. And never left my side... I may have lost him now, but he died a true Hufflepuff, like his mother. He died saving someone, he gave up his life for a stranger. (Pauses, her eyes burning the crowds) How many of us would do that for someone we'd never set eyes on before? To how many of us would it be a instinct to do such a thing?
