Hello again, everyone! This is the newest story by Prof. Pendragon, Rosi-Padfoot, and Hornhead! To explain a little first, the entire story is the letters written back and forth between, well, basically everyone after the guys go back to England. Yes, it does still tell a story (not to mention, Jack is completely off his rocker!) Hope you guys enjoy.
Warning: May contain pervy cradle robbers, and bits of angstyness.

Chapter 1: Remus and Kate
My Dearest Kate,
It has been less than a day and my heart aches at the thought of not having you by my side. I think of you every waking moment and am often accused by Snuffles of being distracted. I am currently gazing at your photograph from the night we went dancing. I think back on that night and how lovely you are and long to return to America. I don't know when that will happen.
It is very strange to be back in England. Even though I was only gone for two weeks, it feels as if our lives would have taken a completely different turn if we had not visited Las Vegas. Sometimes it feels as if Arithmancy has it right and our reality is just one of many possible outcomes to the same story. I often fear this is all a dream and I will awaken to having never known you. I fear that I will find Snuffles dead and all that has brought me hope in the past few months vanished.
Sorry about that, my love, I was called away from my desk to speak with Dumbledore. He wanted to apologize yet again and thank me for a speedy return. He asked me to send his regards, and inquired after how you are doing. Just for your reference, I am currently writing this after our last meeting. It went very well, everyone was pleased with my research though I don't want to weigh this owl down with all the details.
I saw Paige at the meeting as well. She said discretion is the better part of valor and owl posts, for things happen on long flights and the floo system isn't what it used to be. Other than that, things are quite boring here. Though, when Paige mentioned you, Charlie inquired as to how you are doing. Paige didn't really have an answer. She said you were currently being unreasonable and hadn't spoken to her in over two days. You really should give her a chance, she had our best interests at heart, no matter how misguided those intentions might have been.
On a brighter note, Harry is getting along quite well. He's doing better at Hogwarts this year; I saw him on the Quidditch pitch today and he's looking quite grown up. He was pleased to see me, as were his friends. Well, Ron wasn't, I was chatting with Hermione and he swept into me with his broom, yelling, "Oy, pervy cradle robber! Get away from my Hermione! I mean our Hermione. I mean Hermione⦠Just go away!" After he realized it was me, though, he was quite pleasant. I really don't know what his problem is.
Well, it seems your roommate wishes to speak to me so I had better rush. Snuffles refused to go today and is opting to stay at my house⦠Taking that in to account, I had better rush.
I miss you deeply, my dearest one. Please take care of yourself and think of me with fondness.
All my love and adoration,
Remus
My beloved,
I have had an extremely trying week, so please do not expound on Paige's virtues. She never told you why I haven't spoken to her, so don't assume she deserves to be talked to. After you left, she decided to "convince" Lockhart to retract his complaint. Needless to say, I spent the next sixteen hours trying to keep her employed and out of jail. Ten hours in, I told her to go to the Order meeting.
Other than that, things are quiet here. Jack seems to be building something in the living room and Rose is still away on business. Everyone says "Hello" and sends their love. I send my love as well and think of you often.
Nothing else is going on. I miss you very much. And I had better go because something seems to be burning in the living room.
Love,
Kate
P.S. I hope the lawyer wasn't too disconcerting.
P.P.S. Who is Snuffles? Are you talking about Orion?
