Sirius looked stricken, "but.but..this is unnatural!!!"
Everyone was in shock, even Mundungus, the weasly twins however found it
a wonderful excuse to make plenty more snape and remy inspired jokes.
By the time they had told the fifth what do you get when you cross a.
Joke, Mundungus smacked them in the head, shutting them up.
-----
"do you know where I might find proffesor lupin , Minerva?"
Severus asked in the hallway.
"you might try London, severus I believe she's spending the holiday
there."
Spending the holiday there? Dammit, hadn't she listened when he told her
it wasn't safe for any of them if he or she stayed there too long..?
He nodded to prof. Mcgonagle and hurried off.
----------
They found a cute bohemian-esque hotel , they'd gotten a room on the top
floor with a balcony and two beds. A luxurious bathroom, but
unfortunately , a small closet, and the mirror often ridiculed tonks's
hair color choices and cuts.
"great, our mirrors a total square." tonks had grumbled.
Remy sunk into and armchair.\
'kay.I'm in new Zealand,'she thought trying to grasp the idea, it seemed
like a strange dream. 'and I have no idea where severus is, or if he
cares about me, and Sirius is suddenly taking an interest in me. this is
so wrong'
Lupe jumped up and down on the bed nearest the window. Laughing. "cheer
up remy! We didn't bring you here to brood, we brought you here to have
fun!"
remy glared at them. "this is just like what we did to lily! And I'm
gonna say the same thing she did! you Double-crossers!!!"
Tonks shook her head "come on, are you so upset that your stealing other
peoples insults?"
Remy smiled. "I'm just a little shook up! Did you tell remus were you
where taking me?"
Tonks and lupe exchanged a look." well, we left a note on your bed ."
lupe shrugged.
"you didn't tell anybody???"
"the weasly twins saw us hauling you out."
"look a muggle radio!!!"
Remy said digging in her bag now.
She turned it on, and played with the tuner.
FATHER!!! FATHER!!!
Father in your hands I comend my spirit,
Father why have you forsaken me???
In your eyes forsaken me,
In your thoughts forsaken me.
In your heart, forsaken me,
I love this song!" remy yelled turning it up, lupe rolled her eyes,
fallin back on the bed, tonks, taking advantage of remy's good mood to
make her happt to be in timaru,
Grabbed her arms and flung her onto the bed. Remy retaliated by grabbing
the nearest pillow and whacking tonks with it.
Tonks changed her face to look an exact replica of severus's, lupe
grabbed a camera and snapped a few shots,
Remy was cracking up, "on your body tonks that's really, really
disturbing,!"
"yah well, I'm not changing anything else!" tonks said, grining, "watch
what happens when I put on a bikini!"
She popped into the bathroom, and back out in a blood red bikini ,
Remy made a noise like a strangled chicken, and fell off the bed
laughing, they thought lupe's camera might explode either from over use,
or from the sight off snape in a red bikini.
The mirror was busy telling them off, "immature! Immature! You ought to
act more like ladys!"
in remy's man impression she said, gruffly, "you thought we were ladys,
did you?"
---------
Morgan yawned , and started at the time on the clock, she was already
10min late!!!
She rose quickly, brushing her hair, and throwing on some fresh clothes
and deoderant. She chose to wear muggle clothes when cleaning,
bellbottom blue jeans, and a black misfits skull t-shirt. She grabbed
her wand, and the floo powder jar, 'mr.m is definetly going to knock
some galleons off my pay! I was late yesterday too!' she stepped into the
flames, and cried, "the malfoy manor." and vanished .
-------------
"well I guess we'll have to tell him where she is when he shows up wont
we?"
Remus was saying, they where having a private conversation in Sirius's
bedroom, Sirius and remus.
"we don't have to tell him in a damn thing, " sirius said grumpily,
"besides! You read her letter, they've dragged her off to choose between
us, and I don't want him proposing to her when I might have a chance,
dammit!"
Sirius had been very irritable lately, "if I could just leave the damn
house I would have won her by now.and I might have a life too boot!"
"Sirius, your not going to like hearing this, but she's probable not
going to give up a 7 year , yes I did the math, relationship over a
simple crush on you, besides , she never quite forgiven you for rejecting
her in hogwarts. Four times."
"well, I didn't like her then okay, she was pretty, I just didn't like
her, I wanted ebony." any mention of ebony pretty much ended a
conversation where Sirius was concerned, so they sat there, with the a
painful silence between them. Remus knew he wouldn't sleep that night. He
was too worried about Sirius, that night remus had sent the box of
Sirius's things over, remus had a funny feeling in the pit of his
stomache, and had known that something was wrong with Sirius. He had
rushed to grimmauld place, and demanded of Kreacher which room Sirius was
in, he was in the attic. His half naked body thrown on a pile of black
velvet curtains on the floor, his eyes where closed his arms where
spread, a bottle of red wine had spilled across a pile of letters that
smelled musky and old. Sirius had cut a deep x across his from shoulders
to sides, the wound was still bleeding, and the cold blade of the knife
he had used lay across the cuts, Sirius was breathing, this was no
suicide attempt, but Sirius had started to cut himself again like he had
done sometimes in hogwarts, when things got really bad at home, or he
just couldn't handle the stress, all sorts of reasons.
Remus worried. Sirius had once been sent to st. mungos for his cuts and
he knew they certaintly couldn't take him to st.mungos now.

"really sorry mr.malfoy, wont happen again, I promise."
Morgan said, biting her lip, lucius raised an eyebrow, the second floor
living room, was cold, and unwelcoming. Just like mr. Malfoy , morgan
thought.
"really? Well, I certaintly hope you understand that many witches and
wizards would love to have your job, we pay you very well for it, theyre
are some fully grown wizards who make less then you do."
Morgan nodded. "I'll work for free tomorrow."
"very good, " mr. Malfoy nodded. "but I will only be paying you 15
galleons today."
That was $180 in muggle money, morgan wasn't complaining.
The malfoy manor in Southampton had four storys, a livin room on each
floor, a study on the 3rd and fourth, two large libraries on the 1st and
2nd, a large basement, and attic, an indoor pool, ballroom and drawing
room on the first, and four guest bedrooms on the same floor. The
kitchens where attached to the first floor as well.
The second floor held the dining hall, which ment that beth (the malfoy's
older cook) and morgan had to magic them up a whole flight of stairs,
which they had to walk, incase something happened to the food.
Morgan hated cleaning the third floor. The whole thing belonged to
draco, study living room and quidditch supply room.
The fourth floor held the fourth floor held the master bedroom and
locus's study, and of course a living room. Why you needed four living
rooms was anybody's guess.
Morgan was just happy that she was due for a raise in two weeks, and that
she didn't have larry and johnathen's job. They took care of the grounds.
Morgan looked after the horse's.
Her normal pay was 20 galleons a day, and 5 more every time she took care
of the horses, every other day. Johnathen fed them when she couldn't.
Since morgan shopped in mugle stores mostly the pay she made was fine
with the exchange rate. And also pretty good by wizarding terms as well.
Mr. Malfoy had offered her a full time position, you know the kind where
you live on the grounds and clean up or do whatever when they need you,
the pay he offered was amazing, but she didn't think she could handle
that job. I mean she was close to strangling draco now, imagine if.but
the pay almost made her wish she had the temper that could handle life
with the malfoys. 60 galleons a day. (well dock ten a week for lodging ,
still.)
Now, there where upsides to being a maid for the malfoys.
Mrs.malfoy was very attached to morgan , and confided all sorts of things
to her,
Like that she'd really wanted a daughter, or that in his fourth year of
hogwarts mr.malfoy had had a bucket of fish heads dumped into his trunk.
Mrs. Malfoy, in morgan's opinion, really needed to realize she wasn't 15.
But still the storys where funny. Especially the ones that weren't
supposed to be.
___________
'well I'm in new Zealand I should go see Sirius ' remy thought,
"I'm going for a walk, be back later." remy said to tonks and lupe who
were busy with pizza.
"sure ," lupe said , "see you."
Remy walked down the hall, she had never told tonks and lupe about
Sirius. It had been ebony , lily and remy's secret. Sirius didn't even
know.
She walked into a back alley and disapperated.
The room was dark, and music was playing, the house smelled of red wine
and sex. But remy could tell Sirius was alone right now, the music told
it all, he was depressed right now, about something or other, he'd had a
woman over the night before, but it had been nothing serious, it seemed
Sirius had picked up a few of his fathers old habits, and so it was easy
for remy to tell these things.
Remy turned on the light, Sirius was laying across the blood red couch ,
a crystal wine glass half full in his hand, apart from his hair being cut
short, he was the spitting image of his father at 20. Which means that
where this scene a painting, it would have sold for millions. Living
poetry. Remy thought.
He blinked at her. "remy?"
She nodded , smiling.
"where have you been all these years? You just stopped coming round, I
mean your letters.but they never told much, where's mom and aunt lily??
This is a surprise."
Remy sighed. "we have a lot to talk about Sirius."
----
I helped raise a alcholic, sex obsessed bad boy with an attitude to die
for and looks that could kill." remy thought . "his father would be
proud."
Sirius was indeed much like his father, who had no idea he existed. Remy
figured she ought to tell him, ebony never had because she and Sirius had
decided to have an abortion, but ebony decided she wanted to have the
baby, but give it a good life that it couldn't have if she raised it with
everyone knowing, and while trying to juggle mothering and school, so an
elderly lady, friend of lilly's had been recruited to help, raise the
boy, only problem was, she lived in timaru new Zealand. That was the
really reason remy and her friends had come here often for vactions,
although only 3 of 5 really knew why. I also ought to tell lupe and
tonks. Remy decided. But when and how? You cant just say, oh by the way,
Sirius you have a twenty year old son, sorry we never told you tonks and
lupe.it just doesn't work that way.
---------
Severus knocked on the door of #12 grimmauld place.
Sirius answered, sighed, and glared at severus, he knew what he wanted,
but decided to play with snape for awhile, "what do you want snivellus?"
Severus returned Sirius's glare of hatred, but however, decided cursing
him was not a good idea right now. "I'm here to see remy, Sirius."
"well your out of luck she not here." this was true.
Severus thought this conversation was much like the one he'd had with
Sirius about remus. "well, where is she then? I was told she was here."
"I don't know where she is (pause) right now, and if I did I wouldn't
tell you."
"fine black, I don't really care for your games right now, I do know
remus is here, I'd like to see him."
Sirius snorted, "well I don't know if remus bends on that side of the
road or not, but if you want to try your luck."
"shut up Sirius." severus pushed past him and into the house . Remus was
in the kitchen.
He looked up at severus ,not surprised to see him and noteing his two
black eyes.
"Sirius or my father?" remus asked.
"your father. Unfortunately, for if it had been black I would have had
the pleasure of hurting him."
"how did it go?"
"better then I expected, but I didn't come to make small talk remus , I'm
looking for remy, your "friend" was most unhelpful."
Remus sighed, "well I can already see that your angry severus, and this
isn't going to make it any easier, (remus smiled slightly too himself,
he loved the line he was about to say) but remy has been kidnapped by
tonks and lupe, theyre holding her captive for a week in a different
country, and I've been instructed to keep you and Sirius away from her,
by the kidnappers of course, not by remy."
Severus stared at him, was he surrounded by idiots , who pulled stunts
like that? Well okay, remy did, but he seriously doubted.who was he
kidding, this where the girls who kidnapped hobo's for science projects,
they where capable of anything. "tell me, your joking, kidnapped her?
Like, by force?" he asked, would-be-calm.
Remus smiled. "it quite genious isn't it? From what the twins tell me,
theyre the only ones who witnessed the kidnapping, she was stunned and
tied up in her p.j.'s and they carried her out the door with her
suitcases."
"and you know where she is?"
"I know, but I'm not allowed to tell, they're doing amazing things, your
allowed to right remy one letter, so is Sirius, she will be returned on
Sunday night, safe and sound after a week of fun, I wont spoil theyre
game."
Severus shook his head, "okay, so they've taken her on some sort of girly
vaction thing like they used to do, why cant I see her, and what does any
of this have to do with Sirius at all?"
Remus got a pained expression. Severus was going to propose to remy, what
could he say, Sirius is in love with your girlfriend, and so remy's
friends have kidnapped her, and are presenting her with all possible
options for her future? No, then he go insane, convinced that Sirius had
put tonks and lupe up to brain washing remy into falling in love with
him, and would probably pop from country to country and never be seen
again. Wizarding folklore would speak of him, the mad disaperate
searching for his love... Remus shook his head to clear his thoughts,
"well were not completely sure, like I said, this is one of their mad
plans."
Oh-no, it was the weasly twins. Remus knew right away that they where
going to.
"are you daft??" fred asked snape,
"yeah, we'd think it was obvious." george finished,
Remus shook his head violently behind severus's back, the twins pretended
not to notice, if they did at all.
"obvious is it?" snape snarled. "do fill me in then. As you two seem to
know so much about this."
"oh, we don't know much, but we tell it as we see it, and hear it, "
george winked.
"but from what we can tell, Sirius has major lust for remy, and cant
stand that it's you that has her, his arch-nemesis, and remy, blinded to
this because of the times Sirius rejected her in school, has just had
her eyes forced open by her best friends, and was forced to admit that
she has a mini-crush on Sirius even though she's convinced that she's
really in love with you, tonks and lupe seemed to be convinced
otherwise, because remy wants to own a bar, and have a family and all
this blah blah blah, so they decide course of action is to give remy a
week away to clear her head, and figure out what she wants. No worrys
though mate, your score is way ahead of Sirius's by my count, after all
those classes you missed at hogwarts."
He shook with silent fury for a minute and then yelled, "WHAT DO YOU
MEAN SHE HAS A MINI-CRUSH ON SIRIUS?!"
"ooh, man." remus moaned, sitting down.
"hello.I said she's convinced that it's you she loves."
The twins words did not seem to sink in with severus, who rounded on
remus,
" he's your best friend!" severus hissed, his voice no longer loud, but
cold and soft.
"you knew, that he wanted."
Remus nodded, "yes, I did, but it doesn't matter because, obviously it's
you she wants to be with.."
"and now she been kidnapped by two idiots who wanted her to go running
off with that piece of."
"you where saying?" it was Sirius.
"I was saying what a piece of shit you where, Sirius." severus spat his
name like it was poison.
"muggle or magic?" Sirius asked, extending one hand balled into a fist,
the other holding his wand.
"magic." severus said darkly,
The weasly twins slapped hands , "yes a duel!" fred and george cleared
off the table in a make shift battle ground,
"now I don't think theres any need of this." remus was saying standing
between the two and the table/dueling grounds.
"out of my way remus or as much as it would pain me I'll hex you." Sirius
and severus said at the same time, shocking each other, but recovering
quickly, remus sighed, but moved aside, it's not like these two didn't
duel every time they had a chance. Remus was just glad Mundungus was the
only other one besides harry ron Hermione and the ones in the kitchen who
where home, mrs.weasly would skin him alive for letting this happen."
Severus and Sirius bowed their heads, slightly, following custom, but
unhappily.
They retreated to opposite ends of the table,
"on three" fred said, "cast your spells."
"1...2...3..."
"rictasempra!" the first spell was sent by severus, cart wheeling Sirius
in the air, he quickly countered with
"incendio!" lighting severus's robes on fire,
"waterious!" severus , put out the flames, then quickly dogged Sirius
chocking spell.
"vorda varssee!" a slicing noise, and Sirius's left arm was cut deeply
and bleeding badly,
"allaberse!" severus was knocked over, a cut across his stomache, he
got up quickly,
"feerafidersa!" a black lite shot into Sirius's head, he felt a slicing
cold all over. And the taste of blood in his mouth.
"gidvindion!" a skeletal hand shot toward severus's throat,
"knivdonovia!" knives, about twenty shot toward Sirius , pining him
against the wall, while one, cut at his chest.
Since Sirius was immobilized, and severus was still struggling with the
hand,
George, yelled, "tie!" and remus countered both the knives and the hand.
Sirius and severus both sunk to the floor, the noises had brought the
others into the kitchen, too shocked to say anything. Severus grabbed his
wand, at the same time Sirius did,
But spoke first.
"cruc---"
"I wouldn't advise that."
Harry had his wand to the back of snape's head.
Seveurs stood up,
And glared at him,
Then left , saying he would be back to find out where remy had been
taken.
--------
"I wonder what severus is doing ."
Remy said munching on pizza,
Tonks and lupe went shopping while she was gone and had saved her a few
pieces, they'd bough ten her a lovely set of scarlet robes as well.
"probably freaking out." lupe laughed.
Remy smiled, but felt doubtfull inside.
"why do you think he left without telling me where he was going?"
She asked. Trying to make it sound like a throw away question.
Tonks sighed, " okay it is only fair if your going to make such an
important decision, that he get to explain himself, " tonks threw her
some parchament and a quill, "but you have to promise not to tell where
you are."
Remy nodded, "I love these kidnappings, I wouldn't spoil the fun by
giving it away, do you think he'll find our clues?"
"of course he will they'll find him actually." lupe said, rolling her
eyes at tonks who was changing her face to match muggle celebritys, regis
philbin for one.
"will you cut that out ? Its freaky." she cringed.
Remy set to writing.
----
Dear severus,
I hope your safe and nothing bad has happened to you,
Dumbledore told me you where called away on personal business,
I'm sure you have a reason for not telling me you where leaving, I'm not
mad at you. How could I , when your so gorgeous and severusish? Yeah,
severusish, I new word meaning, "being like or posesing the qualities of
severus"
I'm having a great time here, (I've been sworn to secrecy, so I cant tell
you where I am) but I also cant wait to be home and back in your arms.
Tonks and lupe are crazy huh? Kidnappings! Why we havent done anything
like this since lily was pregnant! They bought me the cutest pair of
scarlet robes.
But I prefer black, because it reminds me of your eyes and hair.
The wardens , are treating me well, because I agreed to play along with
their kidnapping. They'll be sending you little clues as to where they've
taken me all week, part of the game. to see if you can figure out where I
am. I don't know if an account of how I spend my days would bore you or
not, but one funny incident I know will make you want to kill nymphy!
She changed her face to match yours, only she left her body the same and
put on a red bikini! I loved it, it made me miss you even more though,
but never wear a red bikini , ok? ( the wardens agreed that you can reply
to this letter and still have your one other, although I cant reply to
your next letter, unless you write that your using your 1 letter this
week letter. To reply to my reply.
Missing you ( but having fun , so don't fret! (
-remy
p.s: I love you.
-----------
Dear remy,
I assure you I'm perfectly fine, but a little shocked by your
"kidnapping"
I do have a reason for not telling you where I went, but I cannot tell
you in a letter, it is something I must do face to face,
I'm glad your having a good time, but I wish you where back here with me.
The weasly twins told me some, how shall I say it, disturbing things
about your "kidnapping" and it's purpose, but it seems by your letter
that my worries concerning what they said where unnecessary.
I think I can safely swear on my life that I will never wear a red
bikini.
An account of your day would never bore me, because it involves you. And
you can always hold my attention.
I can just picture you in the scarlet robes that lupe and tonks bought
for you, and I t makes me miss you even more. Have them hurry with those
clues, I want to rescue you as soon as possible, but I am glad your
enjoying this "kidnapping" thing, I do remember when you disappeared with
lily potter, no-one knew where any of you had gone. So I guess were even
as far as disappearing without telling the other where we're going is
concerned.
Missing you,
Severus
p.s: I say this far too little, I believe I've only said it once before,
and only ever to you, and it is a shame that now I must wright it instead
of saying it, but I find that this is easier. I love you remy.
-------
Dear severus,
The wardens don't know I'm writing to you.
But I had too!, direct your replies to Rosie killgalin, and write a black
star next to the name so she'll know it's for me, she'll make sure I get
the letters.
But I'm still enjoying the thrill of being kidnapped so just cause I'm
sneaking around the rules a little doesn't mean I'll tell where I am.
Okay, okay, a hint,
It's around the south pacific ocean, your going to rescue me? That is so,
wow, arousing actually.
Tonks and lupe are taking me to see a muggle movie tomorrow, can you
imagine? Those nutty muggles! What will they think of next??
I have the robe you gave me here. I'm wearing it right now. It still
smells like your bedroom, I put a charm on it so the scent of you wont
fade.
Were driving out to the beach later this week I'll send you a picture,
you have to send me one of you, do you realize I don't have any since the
ones taken before I left for america, and theyre so few.
You know severus, I think I figured out what love is. And I'm not
telling, but I'll give you a hint, it has black hair, black eyes, smooth
pale skin, and a body to die for. And it's name is severus. It's also a
he. don't think I'll ever forget that, well maybe that time that tonks
did the bikini thing. ( just kidding.
Remus hasn't been in touch, I wonder why? He's allowed to visit!
The wardens havent told me much about their plans, they just keep me
happy and occasionally tell me their in the process of sendinding a
clue.
Love you, write me!
-remy.
---------
Dear remy,
This may seem like a funny question but you said remus hasn't been in
touch, has Sirius ?
I got the first clue , a cardboard cut out z.
Is this a letter in the name of the country or the town???
Will more letters come, is this scrabble? Or will they think up more
interesting clues? I'm at home now, I've been talking to your brother, he
said you where thinking of buying a house around London??
I'd like you to live with me remy, but if you want to buy a house in
London, that's fine too.
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. and this kidnapping came at one
of the worst times possible.
Can you send me anymore hints? The south pacific and a z are all I have
to go on.
Waiting till your by my side,
severus
_-------
Dear severus,
Well of course you've been thinking a lot lately! What with your amazing
mind.
Your so smart, I adore that.
But thinking about what, is the question! So secretive! ( therapist remy:
"open up severus, tell us about your feelings." kidding, sweet stuff,
kidding.
Sirius hasn't been in touch, should he have been?
I thought about buying a house in London, but not if it would mean being
away from you. Living together sounds good to me.
The kidnapping comes at a bad time? Why? Does this have to do with the
dark lord??
Here's another hint, theres a mountain near by. Think chef.
I'm glad you and remus are getting along so well, the wardens told me
they where sending another clue today, they didn't tell me what.
Our trip to the beach was so cool! Tonks stunned all the guys by putting
on her best face, I swear it was like magnetism! And in that red bikini
too, she's out tonight with some guy named sven.
He's a muggle, so she has too wear the same face for once.
Uh-oh! Warden lupe is back! Gotta go, lots of love-
Remy
_____________
Dear remy,
First, I want to apologize, I've been snappy lately.
I've been under a lot of stress,
How bout this kidnapping huh?
I remember you guys used to pull this stuff all the time,
Can you believe this? I have good old days now, suddenly , I feel old.
I've been getting these crazy clues! I love the chase, but I cant figure
out where they've taken you.
But I want to see you, remus says he's going to visit you soon, I told
him to send my greetings, you can reply to this letter cant you?
Has snivellus written you?
I miss you, and would love to talk to you again-soon-
_Sirius
---------
Dear Sirius,
Well of course severus has been in touch.
Funny you should ask , he asked me the same thing.
You miss me??? Awww, that's sweet!Your not old, your barely older then
me!!!
And , oh ow, there go's my back!!! Nurse!!! Hahaha, c'mon were not 50, I
was just kidnapped! that's not old people stuff! Old people don't do
this! Do they? I dunno. I miss the hogwarts days.
Do you remember the time we kidnapped you?
Man that was killer! You fought so hard !! And james and remus had to
rescue you? Man that was great, you only got in the game when ebony
started petting you, and keeping you happy while you where tied up.
I lost that picture of you in the muggle lady dress, too bad.
Heres a hint: were near the south pacific.
Hope to see you soon-
Remy
______
Dear remy,
This has nothing to do with the dark lord, don't worry.
I just wanted to spend the holiday with you.
'Sirius hasn't been in touch? Interesting.
Four more days till Sunday , heres a question,
Are you near Australia? I'm getting really irritated at tonks and
lupe, the house feels empty.
Theirs not much to tell you about my days, trying to figure out where you
are, grading papers.drinking. But once your back, papers will just have
to wait.
I'm sorry this letter is so short I would write more, but theres nothing
to write, and I prefer listening to your misadventures.
-farewell for now,
Severus
-----
Dear severus,
Heres something odd, I did get a letter from Sirius , the day after you
asked me if he'd been in touch!
Yes, we are near Australia! But were not part of Australia.
Oh, man.I cant wait to see you!! Fantasy just isn't enough these days,
The girls and I went out to the mountain and fooled around today
I learned how to surf! Did I tell you that? It's an awesome muggle sport!
We did do some normal activities, we went to see local quidditch teams
play.
Well, not much to write, loves-
Remy
______
Remy yawned and stretched out on the hotel bed,
Lupe's head had fallen into tonks's lap, tonks was surving better then
the others, her weird sisters vintage tee drenched in sweat, she was
smiling to herself.
They'd just gotten back from a weird sisters concert.
Remy grabbed her pillow and curled up to sleep.
-----
Dear remy,
I remember when you guys kidnapped me,
What a great memory.
Being cooped up here in the house is starting to drive me crazy.
Cabin fever or something. And that damn houself always getting in my
way!
I'm tempted just to chop off his head and mount it on the wall, but
that's what it wants. Besides, I don't think I could do it anyways.
I'm starting to feel like a brain dead vegetable I've got to get some
sleep.
I just wish you where here with me, maybe you will be someday, soon?
-Sirius.
Dear remy,
My patience for this game grows thin, and I'm beginning to think it's a
waste of time, could you simply not disaperate to me? Or I to you? But
if it will make you happy, I will find out the name of your town and
country first.
It's easier that way.
You say Sirius wrote you? What was his letter like?
I promise either a longer letter or me in person soon-\
Yours,
severus
________
Sirius received remy's reply
, 'wait.where they took me, that was near the south pacific, and.the z!
It adds up! Haha! You'd think they'd have chosen a different location,
timaru here I come!'
---------
This game was starting to really annoy severus, alright, he thought I've
had enough he pulled out his wand, and tapped 3 times against the side of
his boiling cauldron.
Timaru, new Zealand. Spelled across the surface, severus repocketed his
wand.
New Zealand for god's sake, why didn't he see it?
-----
Sirius woke remy and the others, as he popped into their room.
He shook his head playfully.
"I see 3 little witches have been rocking out."
Remy yawned. And glared at him, not realizing that Sirius was in the
room, exactly.
"go away, I don't want anchovies! " she muttered.
He laughed "remy, it's me! It's Sirius!"
"no hamsters either please."
He sat on the bed, tonks stirred, and stared at him. "congratulations!
You get first shot at winning her over! You get 24 hours, before severus
can disaperate here, if he's figured it out. I sugest you work on your
plan of seduction, she wont come easy, she glued to severus."'
Sirius nodded. "you are one weird friend."
Tonks smiled. "it's not like I'm messing up her life, I just happen to
think you'd be good for her."
"well thanks for your support. I'll be back in a little while, I have
things to get."
----
Severus was getting really frustrated, every time he tried to disaperate,
a force pushed him back, error, was spelled in flashing red, each time.
Damn this game , he thought.
He scribbled a letter to tonks,
I figured out your riddle damn it,
Why cant I disaperate? I know your in timaru!
-severus.
The reply he got beyond pissed him off.
Sorry severus boy,
You'll have to wait 24 hours to disaperate, Sirius got here first, so he
gets 24 hours to try and win remy over. Oh, don't get mad, she already
told us it was you she wanted, were just sticking to the rules (that we
made without her by the way).
We all know he wont win her over, but it'll be interesting to see how he
handles rejection.or she might like him, who knows? We'll keep you
informed.
-lupe
What the hell do you think your doing? 24 hours to what? Try and seduce
my lover??? I wont stand for this lupe! She's said it's me she want's so
drop your obsession about her and Sirius! It will never happen, as long
as I live!
-severus.
If it will never happen, why are you spasing? (haha! I have you there!)
He's taking her to a
Nice French café , a walk in the park, classy stuff, Sirius isn't the
kind of
Guy who'd do something against her will , so unless remy wants him, your
fine., besides, I said win her over, not seduce her. You brought
seduction into it.
-lupe
Ps: tonks says to shut up.
Remy was pretty surprised when she found Sirius in the room, and even
more surprised when he asked her to lunch.
"sure.um...okay.just us or, are tonks and lupe coming?"
"I was hoping to have some time alone with you."
"okay then."
This was kind of confusing, tonks and lupe had brought her here to choose
between Sirius and severus, which remy had thought was just plain crazy
because she loved severus, and even if she thought Sirius was fine, it's
not like she'd leave severus for him, and none of this was important
because he didn't have feelings for her anyway, but now he's asking her
to lunch, alone. Well she'd go, she enjoyed spending time with Sirius but
honestly, this whole thing was kind of freaking her out, who where they
to mess with her love life anyways? She thought.
"I;m just going to go get dressed."
She went into the bathroom to change, tonks was sitting in there brushing
her hair, which was long and metallic blue today.
"you guys are all fucked up you know."
Remy said to her, taking off her plaid pj pants and weird sisters
concert tee of the night before.
"what for this time?"
"whats going on here? This. I really don't think severus would like the
idea of me spending a day alone with Sirius, it seems too much like a
date."
Tonks laughed, " it is a date! And severus knows about it, I thought you
had a crush on Sirius?"
"I think he's gorgeous , yes."
"well then whats the problem?"
"I have a boyfriend!"
"I know, look give Sirius a chance, it's not like your betraying severus
or anything , it's just a day out with one of your old friends."
Remys shook her head, "you guys are nuts" her hair was done back in one
braid, but with her bangs framing her face, she was wearing black flared
pants, and a studded belt, with a fitted gray tee, with a black cross
across it.
"well you're a knock out!" tonks said approvingly, "and wearing those
boots you're a knock out that can kick some ass!"
Remy rolled her eyes. "thanks."
She left with Sirius. Leaving tonks and lupe to receive severus's letter.
Tonks and lupe:
I cant believe the two of you! And remy's going along with this is she?
Well!
It's a miracle I havent sent you a hex with this letter but as your remys
friends, I suppose I wont. This 24 hours, remy's not spending all of
it with Sirius right? Whats her reaction to this ?
-severus
Severus-
Look boy, I'll quote straight from remy, make of it what you will
But my impression was that she went, because we convinced her it was just
a day with an old friend. Even though she knows, because we told her,
that he likes her. Okay, so relax!
Here's what remy said on the situation
"whats going on here? This. I really don't think severus would like the
idea of me spending a day alone with Sirius, it seems too much like a
date."
Her exact words. Okay, see? There no harm. She's not cheating on you,
Sirius is only getting a chance to convince her that he's a good guy.
Okay?
This was all our doing, yes, I know you think were meddiling scum. (I'm
right arent I??) here tonks wants to say something:
I'm sorry severus, we just want remy to explore all her options, even if
she's convinced she's in love with you, we are just trying to help her
find whats best, that might be you , that might be Sirius, that might be
troy sanchez , who knows?
With love, remy's medling friends,
Tonks& lupe.
You bitches!
I swear! Who's this troy person?, another man your trying to set remy up
with?? You say your all trying to do whats best for her, well dammit,
whats best for her would be friends who don't try to destroy her love
life! Buy letting some total..
Dammit , just take your block off so I can come get remy.
-severus
Sorry don't think so severus, you may think we're bitches , but we just
saw a very troubled and confussed remy. And we're just trying to make it
better.
You wouldn't have been able to see all sides of what was going on in
remy's life, or see the trouble with you and remy's future. But we can.
So maybe you don't understand what were doing, maybe we don't either to
an extent. But we are doing what we think is best to help remy get her
life straightened out. We'd suggest she drop men all together for awhile,
but remy's never been one to go for long without a lover, and we don't
want her rebounding and falling into some doomed relationship, which is
what would happen if we did that. And troy sanchez was some guy remy
turned down in hogwarts, (stupidly, I might add) besides, I want troy,
why would I set remy up with him? I don't even know where troy sanchez
is, so stop freaking out.
-tonks
----
Remy shook her head laughing,
"ah Sirius you never change."
They where walking down the street, Sirius had just bought himself a pet
monkey. On a whim. They had passed a pet store, on the way to the café he
had taken her for lunch. "what do you thank I should name him?"
"er.wait.Sirius, should you be away from grimmauld place ?" remy asked ,
it sudden;y hitting her.
"it's ok, noone told the new Zealand muggles about me." Sirius said.
"oh, in that case, name the monkey jack."
"jack? Hmm, that's good! Howd you decided jack?"
"me and the wardens went to see a muggle movie, and there was a monkey
named jack in it."
"cool." he fed jack a chip out of his pocket.
"a monkey is so the perfect pet." remy stroked jacks head. "how do you
think he'll get on with kreacher?"
"well, that old elf might try to eat him, but if the universe is on my
side, maybe jack'll eat kreacher."
"whats the first thing your going to do once the wars over?" remy asked.
"well, move out of grimmauld place for one. "
"yeah? The first thing I'll do is throw a party!" remy declared. "and you
and jack are cordially invited."
She said the last bit in a classy English accent.
"your accent is so posh, darling." Sirius waved his hand in a feminine
way, imitating her accent.
"it's nothing to how I do yours." she said in her best Sirius voice.
"did I say that or did you?" he asked sarcastically.
She laughed slapping him in the arm playfully.
"you know, theres plenty of hours in the day," he said, glancing at an
advertisment they passed. "why don't we go to that muggle amusment park?"
Remy nodded, "sounds great."
--------
Everyone was in shock, even Mundungus, the weasly twins however found it
a wonderful excuse to make plenty more snape and remy inspired jokes.
By the time they had told the fifth what do you get when you cross a.
Joke, Mundungus smacked them in the head, shutting them up.
-----
"do you know where I might find proffesor lupin , Minerva?"
Severus asked in the hallway.
"you might try London, severus I believe she's spending the holiday
there."
Spending the holiday there? Dammit, hadn't she listened when he told her
it wasn't safe for any of them if he or she stayed there too long..?
He nodded to prof. Mcgonagle and hurried off.
----------
They found a cute bohemian-esque hotel , they'd gotten a room on the top
floor with a balcony and two beds. A luxurious bathroom, but
unfortunately , a small closet, and the mirror often ridiculed tonks's
hair color choices and cuts.
"great, our mirrors a total square." tonks had grumbled.
Remy sunk into and armchair.\
'kay.I'm in new Zealand,'she thought trying to grasp the idea, it seemed
like a strange dream. 'and I have no idea where severus is, or if he
cares about me, and Sirius is suddenly taking an interest in me. this is
so wrong'
Lupe jumped up and down on the bed nearest the window. Laughing. "cheer
up remy! We didn't bring you here to brood, we brought you here to have
fun!"
remy glared at them. "this is just like what we did to lily! And I'm
gonna say the same thing she did! you Double-crossers!!!"
Tonks shook her head "come on, are you so upset that your stealing other
peoples insults?"
Remy smiled. "I'm just a little shook up! Did you tell remus were you
where taking me?"
Tonks and lupe exchanged a look." well, we left a note on your bed ."
lupe shrugged.
"you didn't tell anybody???"
"the weasly twins saw us hauling you out."
"look a muggle radio!!!"
Remy said digging in her bag now.
She turned it on, and played with the tuner.
FATHER!!! FATHER!!!
Father in your hands I comend my spirit,
Father why have you forsaken me???
In your eyes forsaken me,
In your thoughts forsaken me.
In your heart, forsaken me,
I love this song!" remy yelled turning it up, lupe rolled her eyes,
fallin back on the bed, tonks, taking advantage of remy's good mood to
make her happt to be in timaru,
Grabbed her arms and flung her onto the bed. Remy retaliated by grabbing
the nearest pillow and whacking tonks with it.
Tonks changed her face to look an exact replica of severus's, lupe
grabbed a camera and snapped a few shots,
Remy was cracking up, "on your body tonks that's really, really
disturbing,!"
"yah well, I'm not changing anything else!" tonks said, grining, "watch
what happens when I put on a bikini!"
She popped into the bathroom, and back out in a blood red bikini ,
Remy made a noise like a strangled chicken, and fell off the bed
laughing, they thought lupe's camera might explode either from over use,
or from the sight off snape in a red bikini.
The mirror was busy telling them off, "immature! Immature! You ought to
act more like ladys!"
in remy's man impression she said, gruffly, "you thought we were ladys,
did you?"
---------
Morgan yawned , and started at the time on the clock, she was already
10min late!!!
She rose quickly, brushing her hair, and throwing on some fresh clothes
and deoderant. She chose to wear muggle clothes when cleaning,
bellbottom blue jeans, and a black misfits skull t-shirt. She grabbed
her wand, and the floo powder jar, 'mr.m is definetly going to knock
some galleons off my pay! I was late yesterday too!' she stepped into the
flames, and cried, "the malfoy manor." and vanished .
-------------
"well I guess we'll have to tell him where she is when he shows up wont
we?"
Remus was saying, they where having a private conversation in Sirius's
bedroom, Sirius and remus.
"we don't have to tell him in a damn thing, " sirius said grumpily,
"besides! You read her letter, they've dragged her off to choose between
us, and I don't want him proposing to her when I might have a chance,
dammit!"
Sirius had been very irritable lately, "if I could just leave the damn
house I would have won her by now.and I might have a life too boot!"
"Sirius, your not going to like hearing this, but she's probable not
going to give up a 7 year , yes I did the math, relationship over a
simple crush on you, besides , she never quite forgiven you for rejecting
her in hogwarts. Four times."
"well, I didn't like her then okay, she was pretty, I just didn't like
her, I wanted ebony." any mention of ebony pretty much ended a
conversation where Sirius was concerned, so they sat there, with the a
painful silence between them. Remus knew he wouldn't sleep that night. He
was too worried about Sirius, that night remus had sent the box of
Sirius's things over, remus had a funny feeling in the pit of his
stomache, and had known that something was wrong with Sirius. He had
rushed to grimmauld place, and demanded of Kreacher which room Sirius was
in, he was in the attic. His half naked body thrown on a pile of black
velvet curtains on the floor, his eyes where closed his arms where
spread, a bottle of red wine had spilled across a pile of letters that
smelled musky and old. Sirius had cut a deep x across his from shoulders
to sides, the wound was still bleeding, and the cold blade of the knife
he had used lay across the cuts, Sirius was breathing, this was no
suicide attempt, but Sirius had started to cut himself again like he had
done sometimes in hogwarts, when things got really bad at home, or he
just couldn't handle the stress, all sorts of reasons.
Remus worried. Sirius had once been sent to st. mungos for his cuts and
he knew they certaintly couldn't take him to st.mungos now.

"really sorry mr.malfoy, wont happen again, I promise."
Morgan said, biting her lip, lucius raised an eyebrow, the second floor
living room, was cold, and unwelcoming. Just like mr. Malfoy , morgan
thought.
"really? Well, I certaintly hope you understand that many witches and
wizards would love to have your job, we pay you very well for it, theyre
are some fully grown wizards who make less then you do."
Morgan nodded. "I'll work for free tomorrow."
"very good, " mr. Malfoy nodded. "but I will only be paying you 15
galleons today."
That was $180 in muggle money, morgan wasn't complaining.
The malfoy manor in Southampton had four storys, a livin room on each
floor, a study on the 3rd and fourth, two large libraries on the 1st and
2nd, a large basement, and attic, an indoor pool, ballroom and drawing
room on the first, and four guest bedrooms on the same floor. The
kitchens where attached to the first floor as well.
The second floor held the dining hall, which ment that beth (the malfoy's
older cook) and morgan had to magic them up a whole flight of stairs,
which they had to walk, incase something happened to the food.
Morgan hated cleaning the third floor. The whole thing belonged to
draco, study living room and quidditch supply room.
The fourth floor held the fourth floor held the master bedroom and
locus's study, and of course a living room. Why you needed four living
rooms was anybody's guess.
Morgan was just happy that she was due for a raise in two weeks, and that
she didn't have larry and johnathen's job. They took care of the grounds.
Morgan looked after the horse's.
Her normal pay was 20 galleons a day, and 5 more every time she took care
of the horses, every other day. Johnathen fed them when she couldn't.
Since morgan shopped in mugle stores mostly the pay she made was fine
with the exchange rate. And also pretty good by wizarding terms as well.
Mr. Malfoy had offered her a full time position, you know the kind where
you live on the grounds and clean up or do whatever when they need you,
the pay he offered was amazing, but she didn't think she could handle
that job. I mean she was close to strangling draco now, imagine if.but
the pay almost made her wish she had the temper that could handle life
with the malfoys. 60 galleons a day. (well dock ten a week for lodging ,
still.)
Now, there where upsides to being a maid for the malfoys.
Mrs.malfoy was very attached to morgan , and confided all sorts of things
to her,
Like that she'd really wanted a daughter, or that in his fourth year of
hogwarts mr.malfoy had had a bucket of fish heads dumped into his trunk.
Mrs. Malfoy, in morgan's opinion, really needed to realize she wasn't 15.
But still the storys where funny. Especially the ones that weren't
supposed to be.
___________
'well I'm in new Zealand I should go see Sirius ' remy thought,
"I'm going for a walk, be back later." remy said to tonks and lupe who
were busy with pizza.
"sure ," lupe said , "see you."
Remy walked down the hall, she had never told tonks and lupe about
Sirius. It had been ebony , lily and remy's secret. Sirius didn't even
know.
She walked into a back alley and disapperated.
The room was dark, and music was playing, the house smelled of red wine
and sex. But remy could tell Sirius was alone right now, the music told
it all, he was depressed right now, about something or other, he'd had a
woman over the night before, but it had been nothing serious, it seemed
Sirius had picked up a few of his fathers old habits, and so it was easy
for remy to tell these things.
Remy turned on the light, Sirius was laying across the blood red couch ,
a crystal wine glass half full in his hand, apart from his hair being cut
short, he was the spitting image of his father at 20. Which means that
where this scene a painting, it would have sold for millions. Living
poetry. Remy thought.
He blinked at her. "remy?"
She nodded , smiling.
"where have you been all these years? You just stopped coming round, I
mean your letters.but they never told much, where's mom and aunt lily??
This is a surprise."
Remy sighed. "we have a lot to talk about Sirius."
----
I helped raise a alcholic, sex obsessed bad boy with an attitude to die
for and looks that could kill." remy thought . "his father would be
proud."
Sirius was indeed much like his father, who had no idea he existed. Remy
figured she ought to tell him, ebony never had because she and Sirius had
decided to have an abortion, but ebony decided she wanted to have the
baby, but give it a good life that it couldn't have if she raised it with
everyone knowing, and while trying to juggle mothering and school, so an
elderly lady, friend of lilly's had been recruited to help, raise the
boy, only problem was, she lived in timaru new Zealand. That was the
really reason remy and her friends had come here often for vactions,
although only 3 of 5 really knew why. I also ought to tell lupe and
tonks. Remy decided. But when and how? You cant just say, oh by the way,
Sirius you have a twenty year old son, sorry we never told you tonks and
lupe.it just doesn't work that way.
---------
Severus knocked on the door of #12 grimmauld place.
Sirius answered, sighed, and glared at severus, he knew what he wanted,
but decided to play with snape for awhile, "what do you want snivellus?"
Severus returned Sirius's glare of hatred, but however, decided cursing
him was not a good idea right now. "I'm here to see remy, Sirius."
"well your out of luck she not here." this was true.
Severus thought this conversation was much like the one he'd had with
Sirius about remus. "well, where is she then? I was told she was here."
"I don't know where she is (pause) right now, and if I did I wouldn't
tell you."
"fine black, I don't really care for your games right now, I do know
remus is here, I'd like to see him."
Sirius snorted, "well I don't know if remus bends on that side of the
road or not, but if you want to try your luck."
"shut up Sirius." severus pushed past him and into the house . Remus was
in the kitchen.
He looked up at severus ,not surprised to see him and noteing his two
black eyes.
"Sirius or my father?" remus asked.
"your father. Unfortunately, for if it had been black I would have had
the pleasure of hurting him."
"how did it go?"
"better then I expected, but I didn't come to make small talk remus , I'm
looking for remy, your "friend" was most unhelpful."
Remus sighed, "well I can already see that your angry severus, and this
isn't going to make it any easier, (remus smiled slightly too himself,
he loved the line he was about to say) but remy has been kidnapped by
tonks and lupe, theyre holding her captive for a week in a different
country, and I've been instructed to keep you and Sirius away from her,
by the kidnappers of course, not by remy."
Severus stared at him, was he surrounded by idiots , who pulled stunts
like that? Well okay, remy did, but he seriously doubted.who was he
kidding, this where the girls who kidnapped hobo's for science projects,
they where capable of anything. "tell me, your joking, kidnapped her?
Like, by force?" he asked, would-be-calm.
Remus smiled. "it quite genious isn't it? From what the twins tell me,
theyre the only ones who witnessed the kidnapping, she was stunned and
tied up in her p.j.'s and they carried her out the door with her
suitcases."
"and you know where she is?"
"I know, but I'm not allowed to tell, they're doing amazing things, your
allowed to right remy one letter, so is Sirius, she will be returned on
Sunday night, safe and sound after a week of fun, I wont spoil theyre
game."
Severus shook his head, "okay, so they've taken her on some sort of girly
vaction thing like they used to do, why cant I see her, and what does any
of this have to do with Sirius at all?"
Remus got a pained expression. Severus was going to propose to remy, what
could he say, Sirius is in love with your girlfriend, and so remy's
friends have kidnapped her, and are presenting her with all possible
options for her future? No, then he go insane, convinced that Sirius had
put tonks and lupe up to brain washing remy into falling in love with
him, and would probably pop from country to country and never be seen
again. Wizarding folklore would speak of him, the mad disaperate
searching for his love... Remus shook his head to clear his thoughts,
"well were not completely sure, like I said, this is one of their mad
plans."
Oh-no, it was the weasly twins. Remus knew right away that they where
going to.
"are you daft??" fred asked snape,
"yeah, we'd think it was obvious." george finished,
Remus shook his head violently behind severus's back, the twins pretended
not to notice, if they did at all.
"obvious is it?" snape snarled. "do fill me in then. As you two seem to
know so much about this."
"oh, we don't know much, but we tell it as we see it, and hear it, "
george winked.
"but from what we can tell, Sirius has major lust for remy, and cant
stand that it's you that has her, his arch-nemesis, and remy, blinded to
this because of the times Sirius rejected her in school, has just had
her eyes forced open by her best friends, and was forced to admit that
she has a mini-crush on Sirius even though she's convinced that she's
really in love with you, tonks and lupe seemed to be convinced
otherwise, because remy wants to own a bar, and have a family and all
this blah blah blah, so they decide course of action is to give remy a
week away to clear her head, and figure out what she wants. No worrys
though mate, your score is way ahead of Sirius's by my count, after all
those classes you missed at hogwarts."
He shook with silent fury for a minute and then yelled, "WHAT DO YOU
MEAN SHE HAS A MINI-CRUSH ON SIRIUS?!"
"ooh, man." remus moaned, sitting down.
"hello.I said she's convinced that it's you she loves."
The twins words did not seem to sink in with severus, who rounded on
remus,
" he's your best friend!" severus hissed, his voice no longer loud, but
cold and soft.
"you knew, that he wanted."
Remus nodded, "yes, I did, but it doesn't matter because, obviously it's
you she wants to be with.."
"and now she been kidnapped by two idiots who wanted her to go running
off with that piece of."
"you where saying?" it was Sirius.
"I was saying what a piece of shit you where, Sirius." severus spat his
name like it was poison.
"muggle or magic?" Sirius asked, extending one hand balled into a fist,
the other holding his wand.
"magic." severus said darkly,
The weasly twins slapped hands , "yes a duel!" fred and george cleared
off the table in a make shift battle ground,
"now I don't think theres any need of this." remus was saying standing
between the two and the table/dueling grounds.
"out of my way remus or as much as it would pain me I'll hex you." Sirius
and severus said at the same time, shocking each other, but recovering
quickly, remus sighed, but moved aside, it's not like these two didn't
duel every time they had a chance. Remus was just glad Mundungus was the
only other one besides harry ron Hermione and the ones in the kitchen who
where home, mrs.weasly would skin him alive for letting this happen."
Severus and Sirius bowed their heads, slightly, following custom, but
unhappily.
They retreated to opposite ends of the table,
"on three" fred said, "cast your spells."
"1...2...3..."
"rictasempra!" the first spell was sent by severus, cart wheeling Sirius
in the air, he quickly countered with
"incendio!" lighting severus's robes on fire,
"waterious!" severus , put out the flames, then quickly dogged Sirius
chocking spell.
"vorda varssee!" a slicing noise, and Sirius's left arm was cut deeply
and bleeding badly,
"allaberse!" severus was knocked over, a cut across his stomache, he
got up quickly,
"feerafidersa!" a black lite shot into Sirius's head, he felt a slicing
cold all over. And the taste of blood in his mouth.
"gidvindion!" a skeletal hand shot toward severus's throat,
"knivdonovia!" knives, about twenty shot toward Sirius , pining him
against the wall, while one, cut at his chest.
Since Sirius was immobilized, and severus was still struggling with the
hand,
George, yelled, "tie!" and remus countered both the knives and the hand.
Sirius and severus both sunk to the floor, the noises had brought the
others into the kitchen, too shocked to say anything. Severus grabbed his
wand, at the same time Sirius did,
But spoke first.
"cruc---"
"I wouldn't advise that."
Harry had his wand to the back of snape's head.
Seveurs stood up,
And glared at him,
Then left , saying he would be back to find out where remy had been
taken.
--------
"I wonder what severus is doing ."
Remy said munching on pizza,
Tonks and lupe went shopping while she was gone and had saved her a few
pieces, they'd bough ten her a lovely set of scarlet robes as well.
"probably freaking out." lupe laughed.
Remy smiled, but felt doubtfull inside.
"why do you think he left without telling me where he was going?"
She asked. Trying to make it sound like a throw away question.
Tonks sighed, " okay it is only fair if your going to make such an
important decision, that he get to explain himself, " tonks threw her
some parchament and a quill, "but you have to promise not to tell where
you are."
Remy nodded, "I love these kidnappings, I wouldn't spoil the fun by
giving it away, do you think he'll find our clues?"
"of course he will they'll find him actually." lupe said, rolling her
eyes at tonks who was changing her face to match muggle celebritys, regis
philbin for one.
"will you cut that out ? Its freaky." she cringed.
Remy set to writing.

Dear severus,
I hope your safe and nothing bad has happened to you,
Dumbledore told me you where called away on personal business,
I'm sure you have a reason for not telling me you where leaving, I'm not
mad at you. How could I , when your so gorgeous and severusish? Yeah,
severusish, I new word meaning, "being like or posesing the qualities of
severus"
I'm having a great time here, (I've been sworn to secrecy, so I cant tell
you where I am) but I also cant wait to be home and back in your arms.
Tonks and lupe are crazy huh? Kidnappings! Why we havent done anything
like this since lily was pregnant! They bought me the cutest pair of
scarlet robes.
But I prefer black, because it reminds me of your eyes and hair.
The wardens , are treating me well, because I agreed to play along with
their kidnapping. They'll be sending you little clues as to where they've
taken me all week, part of the game. to see if you can figure out where I
am. I don't know if an account of how I spend my days would bore you or
not, but one funny incident I know will make you want to kill nymphy!
She changed her face to match yours, only she left her body the same and
put on a red bikini! I loved it, it made me miss you even more though,
but never wear a red bikini , ok? ( the wardens agreed that you can reply
to this letter and still have your one other, although I cant reply to
your next letter, unless you write that your using your 1 letter this
week letter. To reply to my reply.
Missing you ( but having fun , so don't fret! (
-remy
p.s: I love you.
-----------
Dear remy,
I assure you I'm perfectly fine, but a little shocked by your
"kidnapping"
I do have a reason for not telling you where I went, but I cannot tell
you in a letter, it is something I must do face to face,
I'm glad your having a good time, but I wish you where back here with me.
The weasly twins told me some, how shall I say it, disturbing things
about your "kidnapping" and it's purpose, but it seems by your letter
that my worries concerning what they said where unnecessary.
I think I can safely swear on my life that I will never wear a red
bikini.
An account of your day would never bore me, because it involves you. And
you can always hold my attention.
I can just picture you in the scarlet robes that lupe and tonks bought
for you, and I t makes me miss you even more. Have them hurry with those
clues, I want to rescue you as soon as possible, but I am glad your
enjoying this "kidnapping" thing, I do remember when you disappeared with
lily potter, no-one knew where any of you had gone. So I guess were even
as far as disappearing without telling the other where we're going is
concerned.
Missing you,
Severus
p.s: I say this far too little, I believe I've only said it once before,
and only ever to you, and it is a shame that now I must wright it instead
of saying it, but I find that this is easier. I love you remy.
-------
Dear severus,
The wardens don't know I'm writing to you.
But I had too!, direct your replies to Rosie killgalin, and write a black
star next to the name so she'll know it's for me, she'll make sure I get
the letters.
But I'm still enjoying the thrill of being kidnapped so just cause I'm
sneaking around the rules a little doesn't mean I'll tell where I am.
Okay, okay, a hint,
It's around the south pacific ocean, your going to rescue me? That is so,
wow, arousing actually.
Tonks and lupe are taking me to see a muggle movie tomorrow, can you
imagine? Those nutty muggles! What will they think of next??
I have the robe you gave me here. I'm wearing it right now. It still
smells like your bedroom, I put a charm on it so the scent of you wont
fade.
Were driving out to the beach later this week I'll send you a picture,
you have to send me one of you, do you realize I don't have any since the
ones taken before I left for america, and theyre so few.
You know severus, I think I figured out what love is. And I'm not
telling, but I'll give you a hint, it has black hair, black eyes, smooth
pale skin, and a body to die for. And it's name is severus. It's also a
he. don't think I'll ever forget that, well maybe that time that tonks
did the bikini thing. ( just kidding.
Remus hasn't been in touch, I wonder why? He's allowed to visit!
The wardens havent told me much about their plans, they just keep me
happy and occasionally tell me their in the process of sendinding a
clue.
Love you, write me!
-remy.
---------
Dear remy,
This may seem like a funny question but you said remus hasn't been in
touch, has Sirius ?
I got the first clue , a cardboard cut out z.
Is this a letter in the name of the country or the town???
Will more letters come, is this scrabble? Or will they think up more
interesting clues? I'm at home now, I've been talking to your brother, he
said you where thinking of buying a house around London??
I'd like you to live with me remy, but if you want to buy a house in
London, that's fine too.
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. and this kidnapping came at one
of the worst times possible.
Can you send me anymore hints? The south pacific and a z are all I have
to go on.
Waiting till your by my side,
severus
_-------
Dear severus,
Well of course you've been thinking a lot lately! What with your amazing
mind.
Your so smart, I adore that.
But thinking about what, is the question! So secretive! ( therapist remy:
"open up severus, tell us about your feelings." kidding, sweet stuff,
kidding.
Sirius hasn't been in touch, should he have been?
I thought about buying a house in London, but not if it would mean being
away from you. Living together sounds good to me.
The kidnapping comes at a bad time? Why? Does this have to do with the
dark lord??
Here's another hint, theres a mountain near by. Think chef.
I'm glad you and remus are getting along so well, the wardens told me
they where sending another clue today, they didn't tell me what.
Our trip to the beach was so cool! Tonks stunned all the guys by putting
on her best face, I swear it was like magnetism! And in that red bikini
too, she's out tonight with some guy named sven.
He's a muggle, so she has too wear the same face for once.
Uh-oh! Warden lupe is back! Gotta go, lots of love-
Remy
_____________
Dear remy,
First, I want to apologize, I've been snappy lately.
I've been under a lot of stress,
How bout this kidnapping huh?
I remember you guys used to pull this stuff all the time,
Can you believe this? I have good old days now, suddenly , I feel old.
I've been getting these crazy clues! I love the chase, but I cant figure
out where they've taken you.
But I want to see you, remus says he's going to visit you soon, I told
him to send my greetings, you can reply to this letter cant you?
Has snivellus written you?
I miss you, and would love to talk to you again-soon-
_Sirius
---------
Dear Sirius,
Well of course severus has been in touch.
Funny you should ask , he asked me the same thing.
You miss me??? Awww, that's sweet!Your not old, your barely older then
me!!!
And , oh ow, there go's my back!!! Nurse!!! Hahaha, c'mon were not 50, I
was just kidnapped! that's not old people stuff! Old people don't do
this! Do they? I dunno. I miss the hogwarts days.
Do you remember the time we kidnapped you?
Man that was killer! You fought so hard !! And james and remus had to
rescue you? Man that was great, you only got in the game when ebony
started petting you, and keeping you happy while you where tied up.
I lost that picture of you in the muggle lady dress, too bad.
Heres a hint: were near the south pacific.
Hope to see you soon-
Remy
______
Dear remy,
This has nothing to do with the dark lord, don't worry.
I just wanted to spend the holiday with you.
'Sirius hasn't been in touch? Interesting.
Four more days till Sunday , heres a question,
Are you near Australia? I'm getting really irritated at tonks and
lupe, the house feels empty.
Theirs not much to tell you about my days, trying to figure out where you
are, grading papers.drinking. But once your back, papers will just have
to wait.
I'm sorry this letter is so short I would write more, but theres nothing
to write, and I prefer listening to your misadventures.
-farewell for now,
Severus
-----
Dear severus,
Heres something odd, I did get a letter from Sirius , the day after you
asked me if he'd been in touch!
Yes, we are near Australia! But were not part of Australia.
Oh, man.I cant wait to see you!! Fantasy just isn't enough these days,
The girls and I went out to the mountain and fooled around today
I learned how to surf! Did I tell you that? It's an awesome muggle sport!
We did do some normal activities, we went to see local quidditch teams
play.
Well, not much to write, loves-
Remy
______
Remy yawned and stretched out on the hotel bed,
Lupe's head had fallen into tonks's lap, tonks was surving better then
the others, her weird sisters vintage tee drenched in sweat, she was
smiling to herself.
They'd just gotten back from a weird sisters concert.
Remy grabbed her pillow and curled up to sleep.
-----
Dear remy,
I remember when you guys kidnapped me,
What a great memory.
Being cooped up here in the house is starting to drive me crazy.
Cabin fever or something. And that damn houself always getting in my
way!
I'm tempted just to chop off his head and mount it on the wall, but
that's what it wants. Besides, I don't think I could do it anyways.
I'm starting to feel like a brain dead vegetable I've got to get some
sleep.
I just wish you where here with me, maybe you will be someday, soon?
-Sirius.
Dear remy,
My patience for this game grows thin, and I'm beginning to think it's a
waste of time, could you simply not disaperate to me? Or I to you? But
if it will make you happy, I will find out the name of your town and
country first.
It's easier that way.
You say Sirius wrote you? What was his letter like?
I promise either a longer letter or me in person soon-\
Yours,
severus
________
Sirius received remy's reply
, 'wait.where they took me, that was near the south pacific, and.the z!
It adds up! Haha! You'd think they'd have chosen a different location,
timaru here I come!'
---------
This game was starting to really annoy severus, alright, he thought I've
had enough he pulled out his wand, and tapped 3 times against the side of
his boiling cauldron.
Timaru, new Zealand. Spelled across the surface, severus repocketed his
wand.
New Zealand for god's sake, why didn't he see it?
-----
Sirius woke remy and the others, as he popped into their room.
He shook his head playfully.
"I see 3 little witches have been rocking out."
Remy yawned. And glared at him, not realizing that Sirius was in the
room, exactly.
"go away, I don't want anchovies! " she muttered.
He laughed "remy, it's me! It's Sirius!"
"no hamsters either please."
He sat on the bed, tonks stirred, and stared at him. "congratulations!
You get first shot at winning her over! You get 24 hours, before severus
can disaperate here, if he's figured it out. I sugest you work on your
plan of seduction, she wont come easy, she glued to severus."'
Sirius nodded. "you are one weird friend."
Tonks smiled. "it's not like I'm messing up her life, I just happen to
think you'd be good for her."
"well thanks for your support. I'll be back in a little while, I have
things to get."
----
Severus was getting really frustrated, every time he tried to disaperate,
a force pushed him back, error, was spelled in flashing red, each time.
Damn this game , he thought.
He scribbled a letter to tonks,
I figured out your riddle damn it,
Why cant I disaperate? I know your in timaru!
-severus.
The reply he got beyond pissed him off.
Sorry severus boy,
You'll have to wait 24 hours to disaperate, Sirius got here first, so he
gets 24 hours to try and win remy over. Oh, don't get mad, she already
told us it was you she wanted, were just sticking to the rules (that we
made without her by the way).
We all know he wont win her over, but it'll be interesting to see how he
handles rejection.or she might like him, who knows? We'll keep you
informed.
-lupe
What the hell do you think your doing? 24 hours to what? Try and seduce
my lover??? I wont stand for this lupe! She's said it's me she want's so
drop your obsession about her and Sirius! It will never happen, as long
as I live!
-severus.
If it will never happen, why are you spasing? (haha! I have you there!)
He's taking her to a
Nice French café , a walk in the park, classy stuff, Sirius isn't the
kind of
Guy who'd do something against her will , so unless remy wants him, your
fine., besides, I said win her over, not seduce her. You brought
seduction into it.
-lupe
Ps: tonks says to shut up.
Remy was pretty surprised when she found Sirius in the room, and even
more surprised when he asked her to lunch.
"sure.um...okay.just us or, are tonks and lupe coming?"
"I was hoping to have some time alone with you."
"okay then."
This was kind of confusing, tonks and lupe had brought her here to choose
between Sirius and severus, which remy had thought was just plain crazy
because she loved severus, and even if she thought Sirius was fine, it's
not like she'd leave severus for him, and none of this was important
because he didn't have feelings for her anyway, but now he's asking her
to lunch, alone. Well she'd go, she enjoyed spending time with Sirius but
honestly, this whole thing was kind of freaking her out, who where they
to mess with her love life anyways? She thought.
"I;m just going to go get dressed."
She went into the bathroom to change, tonks was sitting in there brushing
her hair, which was long and metallic blue today.
"you guys are all fucked up you know."
Remy said to her, taking off her plaid pj pants and weird sisters
concert tee of the night before.
"what for this time?"
"whats going on here? This. I really don't think severus would like the
idea of me spending a day alone with Sirius, it seems too much like a
date."
Tonks laughed, " it is a date! And severus knows about it, I thought you
had a crush on Sirius?"
"I think he's gorgeous , yes."
"well then whats the problem?"
"I have a boyfriend!"
"I know, look give Sirius a chance, it's not like your betraying severus
or anything , it's just a day out with one of your old friends."
Remys shook her head, "you guys are nuts" her hair was done back in one
braid, but with her bangs framing her face, she was wearing black flared
pants, and a studded belt, with a fitted gray tee, with a black cross
across it.
"well you're a knock out!" tonks said approvingly, "and wearing those
boots you're a knock out that can kick some ass!"
Remy rolled her eyes. "thanks."
She left with Sirius. Leaving tonks and lupe to receive severus's letter.
Tonks and lupe:
I cant believe the two of you! And remy's going along with this is she?
Well!
It's a miracle I havent sent you a hex with this letter but as your remys
friends, I suppose I wont. This 24 hours, remy's not spending all of
it with Sirius right? Whats her reaction to this ?
-severus
Severus-
Look boy, I'll quote straight from remy, make of it what you will
But my impression was that she went, because we convinced her it was just
a day with an old friend. Even though she knows, because we told her,
that he likes her. Okay, so relax!
Here's what remy said on the situation
"whats going on here? This. I really don't think severus would like the
idea of me spending a day alone with Sirius, it seems too much like a
date."
Her exact words. Okay, see? There no harm. She's not cheating on you,
Sirius is only getting a chance to convince her that he's a good guy.
Okay?
This was all our doing, yes, I know you think were meddiling scum. (I'm
right arent I??) here tonks wants to say something:
I'm sorry severus, we just want remy to explore all her options, even if
she's convinced she's in love with you, we are just trying to help her
find whats best, that might be you , that might be Sirius, that might be
troy sanchez , who knows?
With love, remy's medling friends,
Tonks& lupe.
You bitches!
I swear! Who's this troy person?, another man your trying to set remy up
with?? You say your all trying to do whats best for her, well dammit,
whats best for her would be friends who don't try to destroy her love
life! Buy letting some total..
Dammit , just take your block off so I can come get remy.
-severus
Sorry don't think so severus, you may think we're bitches , but we just
saw a very troubled and confussed remy. And we're just trying to make it
better.
You wouldn't have been able to see all sides of what was going on in
remy's life, or see the trouble with you and remy's future. But we can.
So maybe you don't understand what were doing, maybe we don't either to
an extent. But we are doing what we think is best to help remy get her
life straightened out. We'd suggest she drop men all together for awhile,
but remy's never been one to go for long without a lover, and we don't
want her rebounding and falling into some doomed relationship, which is
what would happen if we did that. And troy sanchez was some guy remy
turned down in hogwarts, (stupidly, I might add) besides, I want troy,
why would I set remy up with him? I don't even know where troy sanchez
is, so stop freaking out.
-tonks
----
Remy shook her head laughing,
"ah Sirius you never change."
They where walking down the street, Sirius had just bought himself a pet
monkey. On a whim. They had passed a pet store, on the way to the café he
had taken her for lunch. "what do you thank I should name him?"
"er.wait.Sirius, should you be away from grimmauld place ?" remy asked ,
it sudden;y hitting her.
"it's ok, noone told the new Zealand muggles about me." Sirius said.
"oh, in that case, name the monkey jack."
"jack? Hmm, that's good! Howd you decided jack?"
"me and the wardens went to see a muggle movie, and there was a monkey
named jack in it."
"cool." he fed jack a chip out of his pocket.
"a monkey is so the perfect pet." remy stroked jacks head. "how do you
think he'll get on with kreacher?"
"well, that old elf might try to eat him, but if the universe is on my
side, maybe jack'll eat kreacher."
"whats the first thing your going to do once the wars over?" remy asked.
"well, move out of grimmauld place for one. "
"yeah? The first thing I'll do is throw a party!" remy declared. "and you
and jack are cordially invited."
She said the last bit in a classy English accent.
"your accent is so posh, darling." Sirius waved his hand in a feminine
way, imitating her accent.
"it's nothing to how I do yours." she said in her best Sirius voice.
"did I say that or did you?" he asked sarcastically.
She laughed slapping him in the arm playfully.
"you know, theres plenty of hours in the day," he said, glancing at an
advertisment they passed. "why don't we go to that muggle amusment park?"
Remy nodded, "sounds great."
