Chapter 52

To my dear Harry,

You will always be Harry to me, but if you wish for me to call you Cercis from now on then I will do so.

I wish you could tell me where you are now, but I guess that would be too dangerous for not only you but for me aswell. Hogwarts has been in one word: quiet. Without you here making trouble as a true Marauder does. I can only hope that you are well and are enjoying yourself.

I do have one question though, why didn't you turn up for Hermione's funeral? I can understand if it was because the Aurors are looking for you, but they are looking  for Harry Potter not Cercis Snape. But then I guess it would be odd if Severus' son turned up for the funeral of a Muggleborn he had never met. So perhaps it was better that you didn't come. And I'm rambling. I'm getting old.

I want you to know Ha – Cercis, I'm not sure if I'll ever get that, that I miss you too. I miss the way you would do something or say something then glance around to see if anyone would notice. But of course I'm talking about last year. This year it was almost someone else calling themselves Harry and not the little 3rd year who came to me asking for help. Because you don't ask for help. You haven't for a long time.

Ron has withdrawn into himself. He doesn't talk to anyone, and he's left the quidditch team. He doesn't talk in class only to answer his name. He cried at Hermione's funeral but that has been the only emotion I have seen from him since her death.

I'm not blaming you Harry, Cercis there I go again. But this has been going on since the summer. Even before we met in Diagon Alley. I fear he found something out, but isn't brave enough to tell anyone.

I have a slight idea, it's one of the Weasley's. he found something out. I have a feeling that he found out that one has turned dark, and then you get expelled for Dark Activity and then Hermione disappears.

It's getting too much for him. Can you write to him, to explain or try to explain what is going on? That he was wrong about his family. That non of them have gone dark and its been all a mistake. A big mistake.

You will have to remind me to thank Blaise, I don't think I the Order could have handled two Dark Lords at the same time.

But now onto the important stuff. Yes I knew Lily was dark. We all did. But her love of the darkness was so full of passion it was intoxicating. We first met Lily properly in our 3rd year, when we were still young boys. James didn't find out he was betrothed to her until our 5th year, or if he knew before he didn't tell us. If you are right about James holding Azkaban over Lily then can you blame her for marrying him? He may have been arrogant, but he was one of my best friends, but saying that even I knew he could be a twat sometimes.

It frightens me that you have said that if he were alive you would kill him. Did even James deserve that? Do you really think he would deserve death? I know he's done some bad things in his short life but Severus has done worse in his.

I think that Ron was only doing what he thought was best. He has however inherited

the famous Weasley temper. So he response is understandable. I think that you should talk to him however. You were best friends for five years.

As for myself. Yes I count you as a friend Ha-Cercis. I await your reply.

Love Remus.

Remus rolled up the piece of parchment and Hedwig hopped over to him. He attached the letter and stroked her silky feathers.

"Take it to Cercis and no one else for me please Hedwig."

She hooted in reply and took off out the window. Remus watched her go then looked at the portkey in his hand. He had a decision to make. Putting aside his marking again Remus stood up, portkey in hand, and moved through his office to his quarters where he poured himself and shot of whiskey and sat down.

He was happy that the full moon was a week ago. So that Christmas eve would be a new moon.

A new moon. And a new era.

~S~

AN: and there's the reply. LMS
