Dear Lucius,
It seems
that this will be the last letter I write, Arthur
Weasley has returned from the big battle and told me how the forces of good
have defeated the Death Eaters. He also
told me how bravely you fought, with little concern for your own safety, side
by side with Harry to help vanquish Voldemort.
Arthur says that without you they never would have made it.
to his mother in which he detailed a conversation he had with you during a
brief lull in the fighting, Ron said he had asked you how you could just charge
into the unknown, and how you had replied that you “only wanted everything over
and done so I can return home to Mari and our child.”
ever said to me.
Arthur also
told me how after surveying the smoking remains of the Death Eaters, Harry
Potter declared himself the greatest wizard ever.
least, isn’t that what you always told me would happen, all those nights we
spent talking, after, as you so eloquently said, you had fucked me senseless.
So this will
be a new world that our son grows up in.
And how he is growing.
Draco always reminds me of how you used to chase him across the lawn as he was
just learning to walk. I can’t believe
that it is not even four years that we have known each other. I don’t even
remember what my life was like before you. Our son is almost three, and you
haven’t seen him since the morning you left us when he was barely a year old,
you’ve missed so much.
the nursery when he woke in the middle of the night, and changed his diapers
before bringing him back to our bed so I could feed him, how you would wrap
your arms around both of us and rock us as he fed.
for me. You certainly told me enough how
you loved me, not in words; I honestly don’t think you ever said you loved me,
but I knew you did. I could tell by the way you looked at me.
you to be rough.
Of course, you weren’t always easy to
your life, I remember how amazed you were when I allowed you back after you had
been gone for days, doing who knows what with whom.
you back; I don’t think you ever really understood how much I depended on you,
or that I really had nowhere else to go, I had given up my old life completely
to be with you.
Yes, the
good outweighed the bad, no matter what anyone else thought, I found you to be
a kind and loving man. The Weasleys keep
telling me how much you’ve changed. I
don’t know about that, I only know the Lucius I love, maybe knowing that love
was there gave you a new perspective on life.
In closing,
I must tell you how much better my life is for having known you.
I promise to make sure our son knows just what a wonderful man you are.
Rest well,
my darling, you’ve earned it. Be at
peace knowing I will keep my promise to you.
I love you,
Mari
