WARNING! This has a lot to do with a suicide attempt and the affects it has on different people. This does have slash in it, but that plays a small part in this story. Do not read this if you aren't ready for it. It is a little too much to handle. There are also 'Good-bye' notes. They are in italic font. Please, be careful when you read this and please review. I'm serious about the reviewing part. I need to know what people are thinking about this story. I need to know that I'm not doing the wrong thing by posting this. Please, please Review.


Dear Professor Snape,
Yes, I knew you probably don't like the fact that I'm starting a letter like that to you again. Especially since you can no longer read this letter. The first thing I would like to say is that I miss you. After everything that happened third year I thought that I would be more alone then I had been before.
At least that's what I thought when I first woke up. Then you visited. I can't tell you how much that meant to me. Not that you visited, but what you said. I know now how you could have known what I was going through and I'm sorry that you do…Did. But even though I knew you'd understand I wasn't sure I could go to you. I wasn't sure I was even supposed to be alive anymore.
Between you, Neville, Luna, and Draco…Yes, Draco is now my friend. Though he and Luna did break up awhile back…Anyway, between the four of you I figured out where I belonged. And while I still have those thoughts. Still wonder if I shouldn't have tried again. I'm glad I'm alive.
I know this comes as a bit of a shock, but I really truly am glad that you were my teacher. I know that you did everything you did because you had to. You couldn't show us that you were a good person. And you were. You were a good person. Never doubt that.
All of the years I spent at Hogwarts I had wondered what I was going to do when I was out of school. I thought about being a Mediwizard or an Auror or working for the Ministry, but none of these jobs seemed right. Now that that war is over and everything is said and done I know exactly what I want to do. I'm going to be the new Potions Master at Hogwarts. I actually start at the beginning of next year. I'll also be the Slytherin Head of House.
I guess I'm telling you all of this because I want you to know how much you helped me. How much you and your actions meant. I don't want you to think that you died in vain or anything like that. In fact, I want you to know how you were my role model. I know that it's a little difficult to understand because we never really talked, but you did. I always looked up to you. I saw how much strength you had.
It's because of you that I am where I am now. I figured that after all this time if you had that strength then I could to. I hope that I'm making you proud with everything I'm doing. I hope you see that I'm trying. I still have those thoughts. I still have my bad days, but I'm alive and I'm trying.
Oh, Neville is going to be teaching at Hogwarts as well. Herbology. I don't know why you didn't like him. Truthfully, I don't think I care. I just thought you'd like to know that he and I are still together. We haven't thought of anything past dating, but neither of us really care about that. He's been helping me a lot. He actually took some classes so he'd know what to do if I ever fell again.
Again, I've written a letter that was a lot longer then I intended. All of this was because I wanted to say thank you. I had hoped I could do this to your face, but I can't…Merlin, I can't believe you're dead. I can't believe I'm never going to be able to say this to you. I don't know if you're ever going to be able to read this. I don't know how ghosts really work though. If you can…I hope you see how much you meant to me.
Thank you,
Robert Morris


End!

Thank you to everyone that reviewed. I know I didn't respond to anyone, but I hoped the story showed them that I was glad they reviewed. Anyway, I just wanted to say that this story meant a lot to me and while it's not exactly a happy story, but, and I hope you agree with me, it had to be done. This wasn't supposed to be about the person who attempted suicide, but about the reactions to the people that knew. Again, thank you for reading and reviewing. Thank you!
