Dear Sirius,
In first year, there was lightning outside. I was scared. But you let me lay in your bed with you, saying that that's what friends do. But right before I fell asleep I said 'You didn't have to do this' and you said 'Yes I did. I'll always protect you'.

In second year, I decided to stay up all night to finish a book. You sat beside me all night. When I finally told you to go to bed, you said 'not without you'. I told you if McGonagall caught us up all night she would yell it us, and you said 'I'd tell her it's my fault. I'll always protect you, Remmy'.

In third year, I had been openly gay for a week. I was being beaten by Slytherin's for being a 'fagot' when you came in. You beat them mercyless until they left. When I told you I could handle it you laughed and said 'I'll always protect you'.

In forth year, you found out about my 'furry little problem'. Well helping my clean my cuts one night, I told you you didn't have too. You just smiled weakly and said 'I'll always protect you'.

In fifth year, when you were finally about to be come and anigimus. I took you aside and told you that you didn't need to, that you could get in a lot of trouble. You smiled and said 'I want too. I'll always protect you'.

In sixth year, when my first boyfriend publicly broke up with me, ending with calling me 'worthless' 'ugly' and 'stupid', you punched him across the face and yelled 'Remus is perfect, beautiful and smart'. After, with tears in my eyes, I told you you didn't need to do that. You hugged me and said 'of course I did. To protect you'.

In seventh year, you had been openly gay for two days and an ex-girlfriend of yours was screaming at me, telling me it's my fault. You yelled at her to leave me alone. I told you you didn't need to, and that I could handle her. It was the first time you ever kissed me, and you whispered 'Haven't you realized it by now? I'll always protect you'.

Since day one, for nine years, you've been protecting me. And I want to start protecting you.

Sirius Black, will you marry me?
