9)Do You?
Sirius and Remus sat in there room the night after James and Lily Potter's death, baby Harry in a crib beside their bed. Remus held Sirius with tired eyes as Sirius asked him questions. Usually Remus would have shot him down but tonight was different. They weren't stupid questions like knock knock jokes. They had meaning.
"Remus?"
"Yes, my love?"
"Do you ever think of friendship?"
"All the time."
"What does it mean to you?"
"Friendship to me is someone that will accept me despite my deepest flaws. Someone that won't mind if I get irritated because of something that's important to me. To simplify it, friendship to me is someone who doesn't give a shit, but gives a shit you know?"
"Mhmm."
They were silent for a moment but then...
"Remus?"
"Yes, my love?"
"Do you ever think of evil?"
"Occasionally."
"Why does it exist?"
"Because some people just want others to be unhappy, which makes them do awful things. The awful things make up the definition of evil."
Another moment passed...
"Remus?"
"Yes, my love?"
"Do you ever think about good-evil?"
"I...What?"
"Like, you're a werewolf and so you're technically an evil monster but your harmless. Peter was harmless until he did... He..."
Sirius began to sob again and Remus held him tighter," Let's not think about it, love."
