Beneath the Willow

Dear Harry James Potter,

No, I am not another reporter wanting your story. My name is Willa Sagewick, I understand if you have never heard of me, and I won't blame you for simply throwing this away. I have seen you grow up from a perspective you may not have known. I was a friend of your parents. And had I known where you were I would have come and gotten you before you started your years at hogwarts. I was the fifth Marauder. I sent this to you if the hope you may know your parents better and have the answers I'm sure you're looking for. In these pages I offer an explanation for what Peter did and why. I'm sorry they couldn't tell you these stories themselves.

If you have any questions come find me. I'll be around.
- Willa M. Sagewick

P.S when you're done, if you've ever read this at all, please pass it to Teddy, I will think he'd like to hear these too.
