"More than a stunning debut. It is the announcement of a bold new literary voice"
—Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Hey. I’m a potterhead. And Severus Snape has always been my favorite. It broke my heart when Severus died and you, Alan Rickman died. I miss you. I wish I met you before you went to a better place. But I really hope you’re doing well there.

Anyway, I was thinking, have you ever felt sorry for yourself? Or even for your character Severus Snape. I mean, Severus has been good all the time but he let everyone thinks he’s the bad guy. All this time, his heart has always been filled with love yet everyone thinks he’s the most heartless person next to Tom Riddle.

I know exactly how it feels to be unable to explain yourself. When all you mean is good but no matter how hard you try, nobody understands you. And when everyone finally realizes that you don’t mean anything bad, it’s already too late.

I’m sorry that your character died in the most painful way I could ever think of. Severus died without being able to clean his name to other people. Well maybe he did but it was already too late.

I feel like dying right now. I feel lonely. I just need someone ... Read more

Today would have been your birthday. I had to think for a second to realize how old you woud have been, but I guess that doesn’t matter because I kow a lot of siblings that don’t know each othrs age first of. That’s not even the most important thing if you ask me. I wonder how you would have spend your day. Probably hanging out with you friends in the afternoon and evening after me and mom would surprise you in the morning with a cake and a lunch later on. I’m sorry I don’t go to your grave anymore. I don’t know if this even means something to you or not, but I just can’t go. If you take me back to the day I was crying my eyes out on bench on the train station, people staring at me bacause my mom had to hold me so very hard that I didn’t fall apart, I would’t have thought that three years later I would be sitting in my same old room, on my bed that you put together, with a greater heartache in my heart than that day. I’m grateful for the days when I can feel the ... Read more

So, i already wrote you a letter before, but today it was more than a necessity. Some hours ago, it completed 3 years since you’re gone. I don’t know what’s exactly my right of being so sad for years when i never got the chance to see you in person. But today someone told me that fan’s love is the purest one, because we just expect nothing in return, we just want to know that the person we love is okay. And i just want to know you’re okay. I spend the day worried about being such a weak person. I was afraid of being the kind of person who’s remembering you in a wrong way, but know what? I just figured out i have this right. I can cry, and i can miss you, because i love you. I can miss the hug i’ll never give you, and i can miss the happiness i would feel when i could finally look you in the eyes. I don’t know how things work after we die, but i like to think that there’s a way for you to see how things are going on here. I like to imagine that you’re ... Read more

Hi. It’s been awhile, grandpa. I still miss you though. Last Saturday, our family went house visiting, you know like the last time, always. Anyways ,we went to my aunt’s house, your first daughter’s house. Over there, they showed all of us a video when we were all younger. So much younger, I was only 4 years old. I was with my cousins, your grandchildren. We were all close. I believe we are still close though. Then, there’s a part where there was you inside the video with grandma. You guys looked really really happy in the video. Little did I know, that was the last time you were going to celebrate with us. I miss you so much, grandpa. I miss you too grandma. I hope you are doing well on top there. We all love you. All the love. X.

Ik heb oma nooit gekend, en dat vindt ik super jammer. En opa heb ik wel gekend, maar ik weet nog nauwelijks iets van je. Ik vindt het zo erg dat ik me niet meer herinner hoe dat jullie eruit zien. Ik kan wel op foto’s kijken, maar dat is niet hetzelfde. Dat zijn foto’s ik wil gewoon herinneringen aan jullie hebben. Niet van op foto’s, maar dingen die ik me nog van jullie kan herinneren. Maar dat kan ik niet. En het ergste van alles vindt ik nog, dat ik jullie niet kan missen. Omdat ik niet weet wie jullie zijn. Dat doet me het meeste pijn. Ik kan jullie gewoon niet missen. En ik vraag me zo vaak af, hoe zouden ze ruiken ? Wat voor soort kleren hadden ze aan ? Hoe zag hun huis eruit ? Hoe waren ze nou ? Dat weet ik allemaal niet. En papa vertelt ook wel eens iets, maar ik heb niet het gevoel dat ik daar iets aan heb. Het is niet hetzelfde, ik wil jullie kunnen zien omhelzen. Maar nee dat kan niet. Ik kan ook niet zeggen dat ik van jullie hou, want ik ken mijn ... Read more

Depois que você se foi nunca mais fui a mesma, até que já faz 4 anos que você morreu,mas ainda sim consigo me lembrar de tudo, eu presenciei sua morte, eu estava querendo me matar de tanta dor, faltei uma semana na escola porque eu estava sem ânimo e meus olhos estavam muito inchado,depois fiquei sabendo que era semana de prova… Gostaria de nunca mais lembra daquela cena, sua respiração profunda, sua cabeça no chão e saindo sangue da sua boca… Eu tinha acabado que comprar um presente para você, você morreu um dia depois do seu aniversário. Nesta carta estou quase me deramando em lágrimas, aindagação me lembro as brincadeiras anoite,contávamos as estrelas,fazíamos bolinhos de areia. Sinto muita saudade de você. Me desculpe por ter deixado você sozinha em casa e você sai para procurar por mim

I miss you so much. I know it’s been a long time since you died, but I wanted to write you anway. Everyday I think about you and how much I would love if you were here. I’ve changed so much since the last time you saw, me but I’m still you’re little granddaughter. I wanted to say I’m sorry for not coming to visit you in the hospital. I’m so sorry, I should have come but I didn’t want to think it was real. Everyone said I was to young to understand what had happened, but they were wrong. And I miss you so much. I still have one of your scarfs that I smell, because it smells like you. And one day, maybe, I’ll get to see you again.
