Nothing to give but my words
Summary
Remus leaves Harry a collection of letters. Harry learns how much his parents and their friends loved and lost.OrIf you have this letter and the box containing it then I have died. I suddenly feel like a book protagonist. I hope my death was noble and brave in a way that makes you proud of me.There are things you do not know, that might help you come to terms with the events of this, and the previous, war. Things that might allow you to understand the careful balance of light and dark within us all. Things to help you understand the sacrifices made along the way and guide you in your life from this point on. Every day you make me proud Harry.I am the last living member of my friends. Everyone I have ever loved has died and as such I am the keeper of our secrets. The box contains letters from my friends during their short lives. As they died one by one the letters we had all been keeping under floorboards and in pockets were passed around until after Sirius fell through the veil.As such you will find stories of love, loss, commitment and harder choices than a bunch of kids should have ever had to make.Faithfully yours,R J Lupin
