LILY EVANS: 1 July, 1978
given to Rabastan before the Hogwarts Express pulls in, along with a long hug and a stack of records
Dear Rabastan,
I suppose it's kind of silly for me to write you a letter, when I can still talk to you in person but I wanted to leave you with something.
You know, I'm not very good at sentimental stuff, so I'm just muddling through this I never would expected us to become friends, but that shows how much I know. You've been a true friend and confidant, and I just wanted to let you know I value our friendship- alot.
You know you can come and visit me in London anytime, all right? I'll take you out and we'll sightsee and even go to a Muggle film! Have a good year next year and please write. Please don't do anything stupid, like join up with this Voldemort, I have a feeling that this is something your brother and Bellatrix will do and since Dumbledore has asked me. I don't want ever face you on the other wand of my wand. But I'm just borrowing trouble, aren't I? Sorry, nevermind, I'm scratching this out. I know you'd never Sorry for the smudges, I thought I had more to write, but I don't. Have a great summer, and I trust you'll find a safe spot for the records so Bellatrix doesn't find them.
Love your friend,
