Enjoy!

Dear Remus,

To answer your question in your previous letter, life in hiding is hardly glamorous or romantic, though I appreciate your attempt to make the situation less morbid. In truth, I think Harry is handling is better than James and I… he doesn't understand, of course, the danger he's in, but it's all I can think about at times.

James is going stir-crazy. He was never meant to be trapped between four walls, and it's enough to make me hope the war ends soon. He needs to stretch his legs, and I need a break from all this nervous energy.

In an effort to distract myself from the aforementioned subject, I've been reading the books you've sent. You are the only person I know who shares my love of Muggle literature, and I'm thanking you every day for supplying my need in the midst of the war. I've devoured nearly all of them, so if you have any collecting dust on your bookshelf, these hands eagerly await them.

Now, Remus, to heavier subjects. I know that you can't tell me much about your work for the Order, and your letters are hardly transparent—I don't have a clue where you are or who you're with.

So I beg of you, Remus… be careful. Sirius may be Harry's godfather, but my baby needs your influence in his life. I don't want him to grow up without his Uncle Moony. Promise me, Remus, that you will take care of yourself. You're like a brother to me and James, you know. You're a part of our family.

All my love,

Lily

Dear Lily,

I was glad to receive your letter, but, unfortunately, circumstances prevent me from answering it in length. I will do my best to do so adequately despite my need for brevity.

I am very sorry to hear about James, though your frustration is one I remember well from our school days. He never has done well indoors, but I must remind you that you married him aware of this fact.

I shall send you more books at my earliest convenience, though I fear that won't be for a long while. Best pick your favorites, Lily, and memorize them.

Finally, my safety cannot be promised. I will, however, promise to do whatever I can to protect this family of ours. It's not what you want to hear, I know, but it's the best I can offer at this time.

All my love,

Remus
