Title: Dear Sirius

Character(s): James S.P. + Sirius B.

Summary: Dear Sirius, I know this is weird me writing to you an all – after all I'm me, and you've been dead for years. James Sirius, writes a letter to Sirius - One-shot.

Notes: I can't think of anything creative to put in my notes anymore. So basically I've been given the task of writing a one-shot more than 500 words as part of the 'Strange pairing' competition. I chose James S. and my character to write as well as James S. was Sirius. Ta-da, awesome logic! Hope you like it, and review if you can be bothered. Mint~


Dear Sirius,

I know this is weird me writing to you an all – after all I'm me, and you've been dead for years. It's rather weird, I'm writing a letter that you will never read, because you can't think anymore, and it'll never reach you because you aren't even in the world. You're beyond the veil as many say...

My dad Harry – you know him obviously, he's your god-son obviously – told me that he used to write letters and send them to you for years even after you died. He said that he hoped somewhere you would be looking down on him, looking over his shoulder and reading the words as he writes them, so that someone out there will understand how he had felt.

I'm hoping that maybe... maybe you'll do the same thing for me. It would help me a lot. You see, I have this thing at the moment going on, and I feel as if it's suffocating me, you know?

I have a crush on my God-brother, Teddy Lupin – you know his parents, I'm hoping that you don't tell them about this where ever you are, and that you don't laugh.

You need to understand that I'm gay. I've thought it over and over, and while I want to try not to be, so that I can be like everyone else, well... I can't just change who I am. And to be honest, I'm pretty damn proud to be gay, I mean it makes me stand out and be something other than a sheep – you know?

But back to the fact at hand – I just need to tell someone about my feelings for him. I mean, I know that he's straight and all of that nonsense, but... do I tell him? Do I tell him that I have a crush on him, even if he's five years older than me and is twenty-two?

I mean... Dad told me that Remus – teddy's dad – told him that you were good with relationships and all the talk. And I'd really like you to help me out with all that. I mean, I know I've got no resurrection stone or anything that would make you able to help... but maybe if you could like guide me in the right direction?

This is nonsense... obviously I can't ask you for bloody help because you're dead – you're not living and you're not even a ghost! I'm just writing this so I can get it all out and to deal with the fact that I want a guy who's got a fiancé.

I'm just trying to deal with the fact that I have feelings for my cousin's fiancé. And I'm just trying to adapt to the fact that I'm not ever going to get him.

You'll probably never get this Padfoot, whether it's because you're not living – or that you're dead... but thanks anyway, you've helped me get my thoughts back in place.

From,

James Sirius Potter

PS: Notice the middle name? It's your name. I take it that dad cares a lot for you, and that you were a good guy. It's probably the reason he wrote all those letters; hopefully he got as much out of it as I did.
