Mrs. Lupin replies! Sorry for taking ages but I was working on a rather and hopefully lovely surprise :D

My Dear Sirius


My Dear Sirius,

I'm very glad you took the time out of your highly busy schedule at school and friends to write me a lovely letter. I must say I was surprised at how distressed you sounded and desperately wanted to bring you home for sweets and a chat. Mr. Lupin, unfortunately, said that you needed to stay at school and avoid having you beg me to let you take his place (he still hasn't forgiven you for that comment despite me telling him you were only joking).

I was quite shocked to learn about my son's appalling behavior. Surely you have suffered so much from his distracting mannerisms and seemingly uncaring behavior as to whether or not you blow up a cauldron (I do hope your hair was left in it's state of perfection after).

However, this is something I believe I can help you with. You see, I went through the same thing when I was your age. I know what's it's like to feel absolutely helpless as you watch how the person you love walks around, reads books, or just simply looks at you.

Yes, I said the person you love. You love my son, Sirius, and I only hope you come to the realization in a calm and dignified manner. The boy that tortured me with his smiles and shy glances is the man I married, the father of my son. He was the boy who walked while reading a book and somehow managed to avoid crashing into poor little first years on his way to class. That was until one day, he bumped into me. I stood there frozen on the spot because John Lupin never bumped into anyone while walking to class and yet he crashed into me! It's strange and I usually cannot describe it without blushing and giggling like an idiot but that's when I knew he had noticed me as well. From there on, he spoke to me, made me laugh at very unfortunate moments and was the reason I received my first and only detention for laughing during a Divination lecture.

Sirius, do not be afraid and welcome the warm flutter of emotion in your stomach when you see Remus. You and I know that my son needs to feel happy, truly happy and the best way is if you tell him how you feel. It may seem strange that I'm telling you this, considering that I'm his mother and mothers shouldn't be setting up their sons with their mad best friends but I've seen the way Remus looks at you and it's the same way I look at his father. I do beg for you to think about this. This isn't a game, Sirius. Not only is Remus' heart on the line but also yours. Everything will change and it will be frightening but love is a powerful force, Sirius. Love truly does conquer all and please know that I will always love you no matter what happens.

I am obligated to make reference to the shagging in the library. Honestly? Sirius, I didn't think the rumors about your promiscuous behavior were true but apparently they are! You shall not, under any circumstance take advantage of my son in a library! Not only is my son much too good for that but think of the books, Sirius. Think of the books! I have eyes at Hogwarts, love, don't think I don't know what you do in hidden alcoves and empty classrooms. Speaking of classrooms, I suggest abandoned classrooms after midnight on the sixth floor for a snog. They're clean, they were hardly ever used in my time. Oh Merlin, did I just tell where you and my son can snog? It's time for me to stop this letter, I believe.

Send Remus my love and please tell Peter he left his socks here and that I will owl them as soon as possible. Also, if I receive any new information about how you and James were thrown into another week long detention, I will make both of you clean the attic without magic next time you visit. I still love you boys!

Forever Rejecting Your Advances,

Mrs. Lupin
