A/N: Thank you for all those who reviewed. This is Sirius point of view when he made the Clandestineness. I didn't mention how he did it because I can't think of details how he's going to do it.

          "This is nerve wracking! Why do I have to tell her what I feel? I mean, why couldn't you just tell her? Or maybe I can just wait for her to finish her studies, or I could…" Remus cut me off. He gave me a very disapproving look because I was walking back and forth in his living room for about an hour now, I think.

"Stop making a hole in my living room, will you? And besides you should know by know that you're the one who's supposed to tell her. This isn't the first time you fell in-love, why are you acting like it is?" said my very concerned best friend who was drinking a cup of tea while listening to me as I rave about her.

I sat down beside him in his couch, looked at him, looked at the floor and thought hard.

Why the hell am I a nervous wreck? He's right, this is not the first time I fell in-love. Actually it's my second, but I guess this is different. I don't know if I'm just not used to the feeling of it anymore because of the aftereffect of Azkaban or is it because she's an eighteen-year old young woman. Shit! I hate it when I'm confused.

I looked back at my best friend.

"I don't know. She can be my daughter for crying out loud! But, she's just enchantingly beautiful, brilliant and I've never seen anyone quite like her," I said. Remus continued to sip from his cup of tea.

"You're just going to tell her by mail. It's not like you're going to be there in person. What I advice to you now is that before you make that letter, shave, fix your hair and put on something nice," he said grinning at me in a teasing tone of voice.

He did have a point though. Since I really don't get out much, I don't really pay attention about how I look. I usually spend my time daydreaming about her.

I've been living with Remus for three years now. I take care of our financial matters since he doesn't have a job yet. I have enough money in Gringgot's to take care of us and three of the many things I love about this place is that it serves as a great hiding place, having your best friend for company and his great cooking skills.

I got up and went to the bathroom to shave and took a nice long bath. After bathing, I put on my best robe. It was a gift from Remus last Christmas. He made it himself and I must say he is very impressive.

"Moony, could you come in here for a moment," I called out from the living room.

"Hold on, I'm just about to finish our dinner. I'll be right out."

When he came out from the kitchen, I stood up in front of him.

"Well, what do you think?"

"Excuse me mister but have you seen my best friend? He's about as tall as you are but he looks like filth almost all the time and usually smell because he forgets to take a bath unless I remind him," he said obviously trying to keep himself from giggling.

"Remus! Stop kidding around. Do I look okay or do you think I'm overdoing it?" I said trying my best not to strangle him.

"Oh Sirius, is that you? I hardly recognize you." He said chuckling, "I think Hermione would think you're adorable."

"You think so?"

"Of course, I think any girl is fond of newly bathed dogs," he said laughing.

"I hate you. Do you know that? I just want you to know that I do," I took the robe off for dinner.

"Fine, but you're washing the dishes," both of us went to the kitchen.

After washing the dishes I found Remus on the living room and had already prepared the things I needed for the letter.

"So any suggestions how to break the news to her? I now have the guts to tell her but I'm not sure how to tell her," I said as I put my robes back on and comb my hair again.

"Start by greeting her, tell her that you love her and the most important thing you mustn't forget to tell her is that she is not forced into anything. You're just simply telling her that you love her," he said.

"Well, here goes nothing. Wish me luck."

After finishing the letter, I folded it and handed it to Remus.

"Do you think that was okay?"

"That was fine. Now that that's done, will you clean the bathroom now? It's starting to reek because you haven't cleaned it for two months now."

Just then a small brown owl came fluttering down the closed window. I went and opened it. It held in its beak an envelope that was addressed to Remus.

"What great timing," Remus said. I gave the owl some water and food because it seemed really exhausted because of his long trip. Before he left, we gave it my letter to Hermione since the letter Remus got was from Dumbledore.

"What does it say?" I asked him. I thought the letter was about Harry.

"Well, I guess you have to call me Professor Lupin again," he said coolly.

I took the letter and read:

Dear Remus,

I do hope you're in good health upon receiving my letter. How is Snuffles? I hope he's being a good dog, if you know what I mean.

As you may have known, Mad Eye Moody's sudden death was very unfortunate and due to this our faculty is in need of a new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor. I would like to request you to come back and teach again.

I am aware that this is a very short notice but I believe that your one of the qualified individuals for the job.

I had Professor Snape prepare your wolfsbane and your office is waiting for you as you read this letter.

The faculty will be expecting you a week from now. The Head Boy and Girl will be assisting you when you arrive because I will not be present at that time due to urgent family affairs.

Best Regards,

Albus Dumbledore

Hogwarts Headmaster

"Moody's death is indeed unfortunate. He is the greatest Auror who ever lived," I said folding the letter.

"I guess my luck is better than yours. I will be welcomed not only by Harry but also Hermione. You're envious, I can tell," he said teasing.

"Did I mention I really hate you? I mean maybe I just forgot to tell you that I don't like you at all," I said hating the fact that I was.
