Summary: I saw this picture on Tumblr and I began to think what if right before Voldemort showed up that night on Halloween, Lily wrote a letter to Severus that she was going to send the next day. What if when Severus showed up after Lily was killed, he read the letter. What would happen?

A/N: I wasn't planning on this being anymore than just a one-shot, but from the reviews, people asked if I would continue. I hope that you enjoy this.
Since I wasn't planning on this when I started here are a few warnings. This fiction is Alternate Universe. (Please don't flame me that it is not canon). Albus will be portrayed as a father figure to the Marauders and Severus. Finally, this will have semi Dark!Harry. If this isn't your cup of tea, then please don't read. If you continue on, please leave a review and let me know what you think.
Enjoy!

I know it has been a very long time since I updated this story. I want to dedicate this chapter to Alley Applen. Their review was so sweet and heartfelt that it made me rethink this story and help me get past my writer's block.
