Liliana's POV

Dear Mum,

I really don't know what to believe in right now.

I've always thought that Lily Potter, cough cough, Evans, was my biological mother. Now, after eleven long years, I receive a letter from you, informing me that I've lived a lie all my life. How would you think I'd feel after that? I don't know what, or even, who to believe in.

It was you, all this time, wasn't it? You dropped me off of 'Aunt' Arabella's all those years ago. You changed my hair colour to make me look like Lily. You changed my eye colour to match Harry and Lily's. And after all this complex work, no, I don't hate you. Not one bit. If you really are my true mother, I'm one hundred percent ready to forgive you.

So is the reason why everyone thought Harry and I were full siblings is because both our last names are Potter? Why couldn't you change my last name to yours? You've kept your last name after you and James Potter got married, so why couldn't I inherit your last name? And how come Harry and I were born on the same day?

Please respond to my letter, Mum. Please answer all the question that've been on my mind for the past month. Please tell me when I'm older if you can't tell me everything now.

Love,

Liliana

Dear my darling Liliana,

I didn't expect you to know, either, so don't worry too much.

I know you'd think that Mudblood Evans was your birth mother. But no, I am. I'd imagined you would feel incredibly confused, and perhaps quite furious with me. However, I'm very glad that you are not.

Yes, it was indeed me all this time. I am very sorry indeed, and I hope you will accept my apology. I am in a rather difficult spot right now, and I do not need to attract any sort of attention to myself - I may even go to Azkaban if I do. That is why our letters will be sent and received secretly.

Yes, I believe that might be one of the reasons, but another could also be that I've imperiused James Potter to convince the Mudblood to keep you in their house, along with your half-brother. Yes, I did keep my last name, because I was ordered to marry James Potter as one of my missions. It wasn't really true love, but I'd given him a love potion, and you were born under the effects of it. You couldn't inherit my last name, simply because I needed to stay hidden, and I needed to hide you from Him. If He knew, you would have a fifty-fifty chance of being killed. You weren't supposed to happen - the love potion had taken James Potter too far - but I still love you the same. I'm just so sorry I haven't been a good mother lately.

I hope this is enough to satisfy you for a while. More precise information will be automatically revealed for you when it's time.

Love as Always,

Your True Mother

P. S. Spy on your half-brother for me and follow him everywhere. I will tell Severus to excuse you from all classes and detentions.
