Severus found the stack of letters and photos while he was cleaning out his mother's drawers.

They were bundled and bound by an old piece of sisal twine, the knot binding it all together neatly and precisely in the centre. Both ends of the string were badly frayed, as though it had been pulled undone and retied many times over.
