A/N: They received your letter during their 6th year.
To: MissSadieKane
Hello MissSadieKane! Thank you for writing us, we were glad to receive you letter.
So, you asked us what things in our lives we regret the most. Let's see… (if you might not have noticed, I'm James and I will pass this letter to the others afterwards. Can you imagine I made Sirius promise to not rip the letter out of my hands? I wonder how I did that! ;) )
The thing I regret most in my life is easy: asking Lily out that one day in third year. Yeah, that was the worst mistake I ever made. I was so nervous I just said: "Hey, Evans, wanna go out with me?" and she just looked at me and said: "Uhm, I'm sorry, James, but… no." Then she turned around and walked away. "Why not?" I called after her. "Don't you like me? Or are you just having a bad day? Should I ask again tomorrow?" Well, she didn't answer, so I asked her again the next day. And from then on I asked her out once a week. I know, you might think I'm mad for doing that, but I know that one day she will say yes to me. I'm sure about that. The thing I regret though, is that I should just have done it another way that first time. Made something romantic out of it, I don't know. Just impress her a bit more so it wouldn't take her so long to say yes. Yeah, that was one of the worst mistakes in my life.
Alright, Prongs, don't get melodramatic. My turn now. Oh yeah, MissSadieKane, I'm Padfoot. Guess you already noticed… Anyway, the thing I regret most doing in my life is being born. At least, being born to the people who have the nerve to call themselves my parents. I really don't understand what I did wrong to end up with family like that, but it must have done something terribly wrong before I was born to deserve them as parents. I'm not talking about Regulus, though. He can be nice. When he's not talking about wanting to become a Death Eater, that is, but still he was the one to support me before I went to Hogwarts. Anyway, I got rid of my family since I moved in in Potter Manor last summer. So I guess that I made up a bit for the biggest mistake in my life. And James, since you're reading over my shoulder and I never come to say it out loud: thank you. I owe you and your parents like forever! So, that was me. Now it's Wormy's turn.
Hi MissSadieKane, I'm Remus. Yeah, I know Sirius told you Peter would be coming now, but Wormtail said he wanted to write last. I don't know why, but anyway, so be it. The thing I regret the most in my life is, and I think you can actually guess that, becoming a werewolf. I know, I can't do anything about that (you should see the looks Sirius and James are giving me right now), but if I hadn't played outside that one evening, well, everything would be different… I just hope one day they will discover a potion to cure me.
So the other question you asked me – what I think about the Sirius/me slash on Fanfiction? Well, do you even need to ask? Sirius is my friend in every opinion and nothing more than that! I swear on Marauders honor that I'm not in love with him. And what the hell, canine mates and what did they all come up with? Sorry, folks, but I will never, ever date Sirius. I'm not gay and neither is he. Really, you should see all these girls looking at him. Do you really think he would break all their hearts by becoming gay? And then falling for me? Oh, and one more thing: Sirius is not a player either. Sure, he gets a lot of attention from girls around here, but in our six years here, he only dated two girls. Convinced? But don't worry, MissSadieKane, I'm not mad at you. I'm just annoyed by these people writing all this nonsense. Since you declared clearly in your profile you hate Sirius/Remus just as much as I do… well, just thank you for supporting me. :)
So, hello there MissSadieKane. This is me, Peter. I took the letter from Remus and I came up here (to the owlery) to finish it without them noticing. I don't want my friends to read what I regret most in my life. Because the thing that I regret most, is becoming friends with them. Don't think I don't like them. No, that's exactly my point. I don't deserve friends like them. And I don't understand why they still stick up with me. Sirius is often annoyed with me, but only yesterday he saved me from Filch once again. I just feel like I can never… well, be like them! Anyway, I think I can hear them coming up here, to see what I'm writing. So I'm going to send this quickly… Bye!
The Marauders
Original letter:
Dear Marauders?
To each of you in turn, what thing in your lives do you regret the most?
To Remus Moony Lupin, What is your opinion about being paired with Sirius on?
Note to any Remus/Sirius slash writer I offended: I didn't mean to offend you. I don't mind if you write slash. I just will just never read it, but there are enough people on this site who will read and appreciate your stories. Just not me, sorry!
