Author's Note: Okay, this chapter isn't going to be that good, but do you think I could get at least… six more reviews? That would make it 150, I think. If it could get to 155, that'd be really great.

[1 year later]

A year. A whole year. It's been 365 days since the day he was sent to prison, Sarah thought to herself. She had been fixing herself breakfast when she remembered what day it was.

A year and three days since Lily, James, and Peter died. She was still wearing the engagement ring Sirius had given her so long ago.

I didn't want to believe it, but I guess it's real, because he's still not here with me. I hoped that some new evidence would be found—something, anything to get Sirius out of Azkaban. It's been a year, and… nothing. Not a single thing has turned up. I hate this. I hate feeling so alone. Life stinks when you lose the one you love.

!!!

Three years, Remus thought. It's been three years since we broke up.

Over the past year, he and Sarah had exchanged many letters, but he had only received two from Veronica. At the moment, he was thinking about the woman with long, dark hair.

I hate this. I really do. This werewolf thing has ruined my life. I can't find work. I lost the woman I love. Plus, it really hurts. And… He suddenly remembered what day it was. Sirius has been in Azkaban for a year now. I'd better write to Sarah. He got up and wrote a letter to his friend.

!!!

Sarah was staring out the window that evening when she saw an owl. She opened the window to let it in.

The owl landed on the table and held out its leg so Sarah could untie the letter that was attached to it.

The blonde did so, then sent the owl on its way. She sat down in the living room to read the letter. It's from Remus.

Dear Sarah,

It's been a year since Sirius was taken. I just wanted to see if you were all right. This stinks, doesn't it? I hate this. Being alone, I mean. I wish we could go back in time, to when we were at Hogwarts. All of us were alive and happy. We didn't worry about much. Now, everything's changed. Well, anyway, I just wanted to make sure you were okay.

Your friend,

Remus

P.S. Have you heard from Veronica lately?

Sarah heard a noise behind her. "Veronica!"

Veronica had Apparated into the room. "Hi, Sarah. Are you okay? I remembered what day it was and…"

"I don't know. I think I'm okay. I just… I miss him so much."

"I'm sorry. God, this whole year has been so… unreal. It's been like a dream. Like some weird nightmare."

"You know, everyday I wake up expecting him to be there, but he's not. And then I just feel so… alone."

"You still have me. And Remus."

"I know, but it's just not the same. You guys are my friends. Sirius was much more than that."

"What's that?" Veronica asked, pointing to the piece of parchment that Sarah was still holding.

"Oh… Um, it's just a letter."

"Who's it from?"

"Remus."

"Can I see it?"

"Uh… I don't know…"

"Come on. He's my friend too, even if we're not as close as we used to be. Let me see." She took the letter from Sarah. When she got to the last line, she got serious. "He's not over me."

"To be truthful… no."

"I thought he would have been by now. He broke up with me. He met Gabriel and accepted him."

Sarah sighed. "Veronica, you know he didn't want to break up with you."

"But he did it."

"He told me breaking up with you was the hardest thing he ever had to do."

"I know. I want him to stop feeling so bad about it. I want him to just live his life."

"You know Remus. He's not going to do that anytime soon."

[Two years later]

"Veronica Kent, will you marry me?"

"Gabriel, I… I don't know what to say."

"You could say yes," Gabriel replied with a grin.

Veronica smiled. "All right then. Yes."

!!!

"Married? They're getting married?" Remus said to himself. He had just finished reading a letter from Sarah. He Apparated to Sarah's house.

!!!

"They're engaged? Veronica and Gabriel are getting married?"

"Yes, Remus."

"Oh God. When?"

"In a few months to a year, I suppose."

"Oh."

"I'm the maid of honor."

"What?!"

"I know. I'm not that fond of Gabriel either, but Veronica's my best friend. I have to be there for her."

!!!

[3 months later]

You are cordially invited to the blessed union of Gabriel Anderson and Veronica Kent.

Remus dropped the invitation on the floor. It's really happening.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Author's Note: Aww… Poor Remus. Oh, by the way, I'm going to put in Lily and James in future chapters. Yes, I know they're dead, but you'll see. Sorry I haven't updated, but my Internet hasn't been working lately…
