Darling Ethan,

I have debated time and time again on what to put in this letter as it means our time together has come to an untimely end and what a time it was. I won’t go into most of my darker dealings here, just know that my death likely had something to do with one of them.

Instead, I will tell you how much I cherished our time together. I never expected to fall in love, but I did just that. You have a beautiful soul and seeing you smile in the mornings, messy hair and eyes fluttering, has become one of my favorite things in the entire world. You, my darling, are everything I always wanted and never thought I could have. You never judged me, always letting yourself see past all of the things I try so desperately to hide, winning over my heart in the process. I do think, if I were not to have died, I would have really liked to marry you. So, have a drink for me and the life we could have had if we had been given more time.

While I wish this letter was nothing more than a dying proclamation of my love for you, I regret that there is something I have to tell you. I have been debating on telling you the truth for awhile now and I’m not sure by the time you read this, I will have gotten around to it. It’s not that I didn’t want you to know, but that I was afraid when the truth came out I would lose you and I so desperately did not want that to happen.

The night your parents died, there was no car accident. It was staged from a death eater attack. Your parents death was a hit, not a mere accident as you have been led to believe. I know you may not believe me when I say this, but I swear to you I had nothing to do with it. I was not one of the ones tasked with that assignment, nor do I know who was, but it was a planned attack. I am so sorry and even more sorry that if this is the first time you are hearing this, I am not there to comfort you when you were ready.

I truly did love you Ethan with all of my blackened heart, never doubt that. You gave me hope and love when I never thought I was worthy of any. I treasure what we had more than you know and I hope you will as well.

With all of my heart and dreams,

Bellatrix
