Owl Post: Neville + Xavier Snape

I cannot stop seeing her in my dreams.
My mother.

What was her name?


Lily.
So, you remember?


Yes.
It is hard to describe.

I just see her crying.

She is on the ground.
She looks up at me and whispers something.
I think... no, I know what she says.

She's saying "I love you, Harry."


I'm sorry about what happened to your parents. My uncles tell me they were brave and loved you dearly.

One of them wants to meet with you, if that's okay. He's your godfather.


I just got back from Hogsmeade.
Sirius is a good man.
He wants to kill my father.
I suppose I should stop calling him that, huh?

I feel like everything about me is a lie.


This must be hard for you.
I know it is for Sirius.
I've already stopped him twice from sneaking into the castle to kill Snape.


You are lucky to have been raised by him.
Sirius tells me we're going to be a family.
I would like that.


I've always wanted a brother.

I saw you arguing with Snape in the corridor.
He doesn't know that we know, does he?


No, but he's noticed a change in me.
I want to kill him, myself.


Don't.
He can't know.


I have to do something!
Please tell me what to do, Neville.

Sirius wants to bring me into the Order.
Your Uncle Remus says it's too soon.


That sounds like him.
But we need your help.
Voldemort is planning something and we need to know how to stop him.


It's worse than you could ever imagine.

The Dark Lord wants you dead. The prophecy says that one of you must kill the other.


Which means I must kill him first.


That won't be easy.
Meet me in the library.
We need to research something.


I've told the Order to look into Horcruxes.
They must be awful if Dumbledore had all references to them removed from the school.

Good luck spying on your father.


Please don't call that man my father.

Draco's dad just left.
They talked about the Horcruxes.

Voldemort made six of them. It's ancient Dark Magic. All of them must be found and destroyed. Only then can you kill him.

It won't be easy.

Draco and I have been gathering clues.
I'll send them along. The objects have some importance to the Dark Lord.


I'm going to need help.
Friends.
I have Ginny Weasley.
Ask Draco if he's up for taking a journey.


You can count on us, Neville.
Voldemort will fall, I promise you.


Thank you, Xavier.
Meet me in the astronomy tower at midnight and we'll begin.


Call me Harry.

Call me Harry
