Dear Sirius,
I hope this doesn't sound strange. We've been writing to each other for a year now, and I still worry that I'm going to come off as some creepy bloke. Haha. Anxiety, am I right?
Anyway, Dad has a business trip in London. I'm not sure if you would be comfortable with it, but would you like to meet up? Again, if you don't, I totally understand. We barely know each other, so it might be weird.
Has anything new happened with you? I'm looking into universities at the moment. I think I might go into teaching. I'll have to work on my anxiety, but I think it will be worth it.
I hope this letter finds you well. I can't wait to hear from you!
Your Friend,
Remus
Remus,
Haha, don't worry. I could never think that you're creepy! You're a pretty awesome bloke. Not even remotely creepy.
It would actually be pretty cool to meet up with you. My parents are pretty weird, but I've managed to master the art of sneaking out. I know this great ice cream parlor across town. They have an amazing triple chocolate cone that I think you would enjoy.
You would make a brilliant teacher! Go for it! If you ever need a student to practice on, I'll be happy to learn from you.
I'm working on building a motorbike. Again, my parents don't approve of anything I do, so I'm having to keep it a secret. Maybe I'll have it finished by the time you make it here next month. I'm sure I have an extra leather jacket you can borrow. I'll be sure to check.
I can't wait until next month! It's going to be amazing! Hurry up, July! Get here fast!
Take care!
Always,
Sirius
Dear Sirius,
I'm so excited! I can't believe we're going to be meeting in only a few weeks. The ice cream parlor sounds wonderful. You already know how I feel about chocolate, so that sounds like heaven!
Haha, I might take you up on that offer. It would be nice to get some practice in.
Good luck on your motorbike. I'm not sure how I would look in leather. I'm more of a cardigan fella, but leather would definitely be better for the bike. I've never ridden a motorbike. Should be fun!
I hope this letter finds you well! Take care, and I'll see you soon.
Your Friend,
Remus
Remus,
Less than a week now! I don't know if I should even send you this letter. You'll probably get it after you return home. But oh well. I like writing to you. Getting a letter from you always makes my day.
You will look great in leather. I found an extra jacket, so you're all set!
I know London is a touristy city, but I have something planned for you that I think you're going to like. I've lived here my whole life, so I know the best spots they won't show you in a brochure. Big Ben has nothing on some of the places I can show you.
I still can't believe we're going to be meeting so soon. It will be nice to hang out with someone other than my little brother. Reg knows we're meeting up, and he wants to tag along. You're so lucky you don't have any siblings to try and cramp your style.
I can't wait to finally meeet you. Have a safe trip!
Always,
Sirius
Dear Sirius,
You were right. I got your letter the moment I got back home. Haha. You must be psychic. Or maybe you just know how the post works.
I had so much fun in London. You were an excellent tour guide. Have you considered giving unconventional tours of the city? Maybe you should. It was great. Especially if they end at Fortescue's.
When I was with you, it was amazing. I wanted to tell you in person, but I was too nervous. This may sound mad, but I think I love you.
Oh God. My brain is telling me to scratch that out and pretend it's just a mistake, but my heart says to leave it. Anxiety makes me follow my head too much, so hey, why not try to follow my heart for once.
I'm going to go ahead and end here before I change my mind and scribble it out. I hope this doesn't freak you out.
Take care.
Your Friend,
Remus
Remus,
Don't worry. I think I love you too.
Yours,
Sirius
