AN: Just a cute little thing I wrote in honor of my last day of high school. It was inspired by what I wrote in my best friend's yearbook. Although, admittedly, hers was much more emotional. I cried when I was writing it. I tried to make this at least a little "manly"... but I think I failed. OH well. Enjoy it anyway!
James,
Tonight is our last night here. Can you believe it? I can't. It seems like just yesterday we were on the Hogwarts Express making fun of Snivellus. Of course, that was just the last time we were on the Hogwarts Express, and it will be the next time. The last time. It's just not a ride on the train if we don't prank Snivellus.
You're with Lily right now, taking one last stroll around the lake. I remember-- third year was it? — you decided you were going to marry her. I thought you were a nutter, more of a nutter than usual anyway, because, you know, she hated you. But I suppose you were right, because she's your girlfriend now and I found a ring in your drawer when I was looking for some cigs (yeah, I'll admit it, I took them. Deal with it). I'm a little offended that you didn't tell me. You'd better have a good excuse. And tell me before you actually do it, because the ring is definitely still there.
It's amazing to me how much you've grown up in the past seven. It wasn't so long ago we thought girls were gross. And now, you're going to be getting married. I think it's stupid, for the record, but in this day and age, stupid is a necessity. I hope you'll wait a little bit, at least. You're a smart one, loads smarter than me; I know you'll make the right decision.
You always make the right decisions. How do you do that, Prongs? I think you should tell me, because I'm going to need to know for when you're not around all the time. That's a sad thought, you not being around me all the time. How am I supposed to deal with that? I know we'll see each other all the time, but it won't be the same. We've lived together for the past seven years.
Can you believe it's been seven years already? I certainly can't. I suppose we've been too busy having fun to realize that the time was flying past us. Or perhaps it was the fun that made the time fly. Either way, it's gone now. But I'm glad to have spent it with you.
You truly are an amazing person, and you've genuinely affected my life in so many ways. If I hadn't met you, I'd probably be in Slytherin, getting inducted to the Death Eaters right now. You keep me in check, which is probably why I'm not in Azkaban yet. You make me realize what's good in life.
I suppose I should say thank you. Thank you for putting up with my insanity, my issues, my horrendously stupid ideas. Thank you for putting up with me. Thank you for being there, even when I was being a git. Thank you for being my brother. Just, thank you.
James, I'm writing you this letter, and yes, I know it makes me a pansy, because I think you need to know. I honestly do not know what I would do without you. You are my constant, the biggest impact in my life, the best friend I could ever ask for.
I love you.
Sirius
