Title: If You're Reading This... Rating: G Word Count: 252 Warnings (if any): Summary: A letter no parent wants to write. ~*~ 31 July 1980 Dear Petunia, If you are reading this letter James and I are dead along with Harry’s Godfather Sirius Black. It is up to you now to raise my little boy Petunia. I’m writing this just after giving birth to Harry, his hair is as dark and wild as James. His eyes are blue for now and I hope they turn green like mine, ten fingers and ten toes. He is so sweet laying on James’ chest the adoration in James’ eyes as he looks down on Harry is indescribable. I hope Vernon and you look down on your child just as James and I do with wonder and amazement. I’m so sorry to thrust Harry upon you like this as I know we have never been close since I got my letter to Hogwarts. I wish with all my heart you had been born a witch as well so we could have had grand adventures together at Hogwarts. Please Petunia I beg you treat him well. He is just a child. Don’t take your fear of magical people out on him. It kills me to write this letter to think I would never see my baby boy grow, get his Hogwarts letter, fall in love, and see his grandchildren do the same. My world is at war and I know the possibility of seeing old age is an impossible dream with a monster like Voldemort after my Wizarding family. Please Petunia love my child like you love your own, Lily

I'm loving this exchange between the two sisters.

This is so perfect. It shows Lily and James' love for their son, and Lily's tentativeness in giving her child to her sister. Great job!

Oh this is so very sweet. I love how hesitant Lily is about trusting how well her son will be treated, and it's very sad to know that her plea will not really be considered in Harry's future...

The bits about James holding Harry on his chest are so melt-worthy!
