For Good
Remus looked at Sirius, Lily, and James. Slowly he let out the words that had been resting heavy in his heart all day.
"I'm going to go live with the werewolves."
As one could easily guess, there people he was talking to did not take his news very well. Lily's face wrinkled in a look of worry and shock. James, he started shouting objections, that had they not been in an empty hallway, would have drawn the attention of the other students. And Sirius? Sirius just stood there, a look of shock and, mainly, sadness on his face.
"wh...what?" Sirius manage to choke out. " Remus... we need to t..talk about this. Come on." With that, he dragged Remus out to one of the towers. "Remus...why this? Why now?"
"Sirius, you know as well as I do that the Ministry is putting so more restrictions then ever on werewolves. It will already be hard enough for me to get a job, but now? Now, it will be near impossible!"
"But you can fight this, try to get the Ministry to take away the restrictions. We'd all be behind you. Me and James and Lily and even Peter!" Sirius said, saying anything he could think of to make Remus stay.
Remus looked at him sadly. "I can't, it would be too dangerous for me to protest the werewolf restrictions. But you can. You can protest them and when you get them changed, you can come find me. Goodbye Sirius." Remus turned and started towards the door.
I'm limited:
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you -
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
For both of us
Now it's up to you:
Sirius could do nothing as he watched Remus walk away from him, possibly forever. So he did the only thing he could think of. He said the words that he'd had in his head everytime he thought of Remus.
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you:
Remus stopped when he heard Sirius voice, his words. Sirius took this as a good sign and started explaining his words.
"There is a reason we all met. So we can help you. Not so you can go off the live somewhere with a bunch of other werewolves that don't care a thing about you. It was fate that the four of us, five of us, meet. So you could help us, and so we...we could help you."
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
"That's what you are like Remus. You were pulled from you regular life when you were bitten. You've had so many hardships in your life, ran into so many 'boulders'. I don't know how it has changed me, but I know you have, and it feels so bloody good!" Having said that he turned around, knowing that the only thing he could do now is let Remus walk away through that door.
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:
Softly, almost too softly for Sirius to hear, Remus began his words while turning around and walking towards Sirius. " Now" he said, "I will return the favor and tell you what you remind me of."
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a sky bird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you:
Sirius, catching on, continued.
REMUS
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
"You know, the illegal animagus thing"
SIRIUS
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
"That's not your fault. I hold some of the blame to, with the Snape in Fifth year, when Snape found out."
BOTH
And none of it seems to matter anymore
BOTH
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better?
Sirius looked at Remus.
SIRIUS
And because I knew you:
Remus looked at Sirius.
REMUS
Because I knew you:
Slowly they moved closer, eyes boaring into each other.
BOTH
Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good.
And as those last words fell from their lips, they kissed.

Meanwhile, outside the door, Lily and James were hiding.
"See" James said to his girlfriend looking triuphant, "I know casting a truth spell on the tower would get them together!"
"Fine, Fine, you were right, I was...wait, James come on, they're coming out!" Lily said, before dragging James down the stairs.
Two seconds later, Remus and Sirius walked out hand in hand.

About twenty years later, a certain Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy were on that same tower, having a conversation of their own...
