Sirius's room was covered in dust. He was chucked out at a young age, abandoned by his deatheater family. No one wanted him. No one except James. His family took him in, he was like an adopted son to the Potters. But even they didn't know, they didn't know what he was really like.
They were at Grimmald Palace, the ancient home of the Blacks. But now it belonged to the Order. Harry was the only child there, the Weasleys had flooed back to their house, The Burrow, so that they could collect the stuff that they would need to use at school, and collect their trunks. Usually there were a lot of kids their running around keeping busy. The Order was meeting downstairs in the kitchen so he wouldn't be able to get any food. Harry was alone. He had explored most of the house with Ron, Fred and George everywhere apart from one floor, the floor where the Blacks used to sleep. They had all been told not to go there under strict orders from Sirius. He didn't even sleep in his old room whilst they were staying there now. He slept in a guest room just like the rest of them. He slowly crept up the staircase knowing that he wasn't meant to be doing this. But there was nothing else to do. He had to do it. He had to know what Sirius used to be like.
He slowly opened the door. Looking around he could see that Sirius had never changed, he had red and gold Gryffindor colours pasted up everywhere around the room. Pictures of his friends and muggle posters, but there on the desk was something. Under the dust. Harry moved towards the desk careful not to move anything from its rightful position on the floor.
He blew at the dust moving it slightly, but not getting very far through the years of it piled up on top of the papers. So he picked one up, blowing off the remaining dust he saw that it was in fact a letter to Sirius. From Remus. It was only short. There was a pile of them bound together on the desk. All to Sirius from Remus.
He began to read them, they started off normally. Just talking between friends, ones that Hermione and Ron would send to him during the summer. Ones that he wouldn't be able to reply to due to the Dursleys strict rules on that kind of thing. No owls in the house. Apart from your one but it must be kept in its cage all summer.
He began to read.
Dear Sirius,
I hope you have been keeping well. I hope you haven't managed to kill any of your family yet. Just keep calm. Have you been invited over to the Potter's for the last two weeks. I do hope you have. Peter and I have. Then it can be the four of us Marauders together again.
Reply soon
Remus
Dear Remus,
Of course I've been invited to go to the Potters. I'm like a second son to them. They wouldn't have you without me. We can plan loads of pranks for school. I have a good start of year one. And I haven't killed anyone yet, but they are getting close. How are you? Hope your fluffy problem is okay.
Sirius
Dear Sirius
Thats good, it will be just us Marauders then. And yes the fluffy problem went okay, father took me to the forest but he brought along some of the people that know about me to help him stay in control. It went fine. Not as good as being with you guys but it was ok.
See you soon
Remus.
Hello Remus,
Weren't those weeks amazing. I haven't had fun like that in a long time. I know we could just talk as I am writing this in the dark under the bed sheets but I dont want James to know. I know he is my brother and friend but this is just too good to stop. You will read this at breakfast, well right now I suppose if you are reading it but just to let you know I am going to tease you about having a secret girlfriend. Okay Mooney. You better reply or off with your head.
Sirius.
Padfoot.
Why did you do that there was no need to. All I want is to have a peaceful life and now James and Peter think that every time I go off I am going to see my new special girlfriend. And I think it will be off with your head next time Mooney comes out. Unless you tell them.
Mooney.
Harry read through a few more of the pile of letters, each one saying roughly the same thing, he did find out a lot about how they used to get on, there were things that suggested they fell out with Peter often but became friends again many times. He read through them, as he was nearing the bottom of the pile he was surprised.
Dear Remus
I dont know about you but last night was quite fun. I didn't know that you could act like that. It must have been the firewhiskey effecting you like that. I'm not complaining, just surprised, what came over you?
Don't fret about it. Everyone goes wrong at some point but I didn't realise you were that excited about winning quidditch. You were amazing though.
Sirius
Dear Sirius
I really mucked up. I need to talk to you but it might just be easier writing this now and sending it to you later once I am home. That is what I am going to do. I didn't mean to do it. I really didn't. I am sorry. I have tried to hide it. I am sorry if you realised years ago.
I have to say it. Now we have graduated it doesn't matter anymore. We probably won't see each other again, so it doesn't matter if it all goes wrong. Here we go.
I love you.
There I said it. Well wrote it. Please don't tell anyone.
Remus

Remus
I love you too. Why do you think I would have gone along with it the other night? I guess you thought that you were another conquest for me. I understand but I wouldn't do that to you. You're my friend. One of the greatest ones I could ever have. I have seen the looks you give me. I'm not going to lie but I wanted to do the same to you. For you to see me.
Why do you think that I kept going to bed with different guys? I couldn't getyou out of my head. Each one of them had something similar to you. The same personality. The same smile. The same colour eyes. The list could go on. I did it to forget about you. I didn't think you thought the same way. Played for the other team as such.
I am glad I found out. I am glad you liked it. But Most of all I am glad you sent that letter. Now I order you to visit Grimmauld Palace immediately when you get this letter. I will be waiting.
Sirius.
Harry was appalled. What were they thinking? It was a disaster. Well at least he could talk to someone about it now. But. What was he thinking reading through the letters? Sirius had told him not to go into those rooms.
Harry plucked up all the Gryffindor courage he had and went back down the stairs clutching the letters tightly in his left hand leaving his wand arm free if Sirius tried to attack him for it. Were they still together? Oh God what if they were. They must be. To have both parts of the conversation they must be, unless Remus chucked out all of his letters and Sirius collected them all to relive a lost memory. Maybe that was it.
What to do? Confront them together or separately. The decision was made for him as the meeting broke up, the kitchen door opening and letting relieved and tired people out of its clutches. One, two, three four, five, six people walked out, all with their heads hanging. Harry marched into the room.
"Harry, my boy! Why don't you come and sit with me while Remus orders a takeaway?" Sirius exclaimed.
Please review. I have ideas for this story and i will carry it on but if no one likes it then I dont see any point.
can you read my other stories too?
