A/N: Hey! Sorry this took so long, but I had a few obvious setbacks. My internet was down for three days, and the site was also not working for me yesterday. SO SORRY!!! You're lucky you got this today, I had to sit through 5 hours of my brother James's soccer. It was a carnival, and SOOO boring. I also spent most of tonight playing Final Fantasy X. I think I'm becoming half as obsessed with it as I am with HP. And that is an extremely big number. I hardly got any done in the weeks, and none last weekend. I'd like to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who reviewed, you made me feel so happy! I think I'll reply to the reviews at the end. Also, don't think I'm crazy, but armadillos are COOL! You'l' understand why I'm saying this later. Well, I'll stop blabbing, and get this up!

Epilogue

3rd Person

After Remus & Sirius kissed, they started going out. Neither of them had said anything in the matter, it was like an unspoken request that they had both agreed to. Of course, though, they had both agreed not to tell anyone quite yet. The timing didn't seem right, and they weren't sure they wanted the whole school to know right away. Ally and James had already guessed, though, and exchanged satisfied glances every know and then when they watched them both. Peter, who still hadn't been informed of any of this, just smiled and nodded whenever anyone mentioned it; verbally or simply through glances.

Remus was still in mourning over the loss of his parents and sister, but he had Sirius now, and that made it just that better. It reminded Remus of the saying 'When one door closes another opens', and he found himself stepping back to survey both of them. Whenever he would feel sad, Sirius would tell James, Peter and Ally (if she was there) he was going to try and cheer him up, which was the truth, really.

Lily, like Peter, also knew nothing about what was happening, which was a sort of problem for her. She didn't want to pry and ask, but she was the motherly type, and liked to know as much as she could about her friends. This was why she was one of the first to be told. Certainly not the first to know, but neither Remus nor Sirius knew that, either, so it didn't really matter.

Lily finding out started from her watching Professor McGonnagal talking to Remus. She decided that night to ask him the next day, no matter what. No matter how sad he was.

Surprisingly, at least for Lily, Remus didn't seem as sad as she would have guessed when she asked him while they were walking to care of magical creatures. He had looked really upset then, and now....

it wasn't like he didn't care, more like there was something else on his mind. Something good.

"Remus," Lily asked, jogging to catch up with him.

"Hey, Lily," he replied kind of sadly. Lily looked at him questioningly, but he was looking at the ground. "Um, Remus? Uh, could I ask what Professor McGonnagal was telling you yesterday?" Remus stopped walking and looked at her. "You saw her talking to me?" Lily nodded, and Remus blushed. He looked at Lily's face for a few seconds, before continuing walking and answering. "Ok. Well...you know Dumbledore was saying that some families have been killed by Voldemort?" Lily nodded, then suddenly a light bulb went off. "Oh...Remus...I'm so sorry..."

"It's Ok," Remus said, and again, Lily watched him carefully. He didn't seem so sad...

"Remus, have you got something else on your mind?" Lily asked, and Remus blushed again. "Uh...no. No, there isn't anything else on my mind."

"Remus, come on. I can read you." Remus looked at her sceptically "Well, Ok, I usually can't. But right now you are are really horrible liar. Just tell me! I promise I won't laugh or whatever it is you expect me to do." Remus sighed, and began telling her about everything that had happened on the train there. It was strange, but Remus was able to retell every feeling he had had. Like he had it all stored up there in his head, just waiting for this purpose.

When he got to the part where he finally realised he loved Sirius, he realised that they had not only stopped walking, but he and Lily were both late. "Um, anyway, we're late. I'll make this quick. I...love Sirius. The reason I'm kind of happy is because I found out Sirius loved me too," he said, before running to class.

"You told Lily?" Sirius asked that night. Sirius and Remus were upstairs in their dormitory, James was downstairs working out a new Quidditch strategies, and Peter was....well, Peter was somewhere. None of them really knew where Peter was, but it didn't really seem important.

"Yeah. I didn't really have a choice! One, she's one of my best friends, two, she kind of forced it out of me," Remus replied. Neither of them were angry, Sirius was just surprised.

"I just...it's just weird that we told Lily before James. Or Ally. After all, they were the first people we told about the other....thing. I know you told Ally." Remus thought for a second. "So now Lily was the first to be told something! It all works out!"

Sirius shook his head, but smiled. "Riiight...well, I think we should tell them soon, anyway."

"Why-"

"Hey, look, if they didn't say anything about the werewolf thing, they won't say anything about this. Besides, we already told them that we like each other. Maybe they've passed it on to each other?" Remus looked sceptical

"No, Ally wouldn't tell anyone, not even James, unless he said it first..." he trailed off. "Ok, Ok, then. Tomorrow. We have all day so we con put it off as much as we want."

"That's an unusually specific thing to say."

"Maybe I've been spending too much time with Ally..."

"Nah, you're just the most creative person I've ever met."

Remus blushed, and kissed Sirius quickly on the lips.

"Tomorrow, then."

The next day, which was unseasonably cool, Remus and Sirius invited Ally, James and Peter out in the grounds under the tree they always sat under. Ally and James tried to act as though they had no idea why, which was actually pretty easy, given all the practice they'd had lying. Peter really had no idea, so Remus & Sirius were under the impression that they and Lily were the only ones that knew.

They stood there, in front of the three, holding hands tightly behind their backs so no-one else could see. They stood there, for so long that Peter was getting frustratred. "Just hurry up, already!" he cried, then got an idea. "Wait... is this about what's been happening lately? I want to know what James and Ally have been talking and looking at each other so much! You have to tell me!" Remus and Sirius looked surprised, before Sirius cried,

"See! I told you! Didn't I tell you?" Remus just crossed his arms and poked his tongue out.

"Teeeell meeee!" Sirius turned to James, who had managed, with Ally, to slink back a few steps. "Jaaaamiiieee?"

"Uh, yeeeeaaah?" Sirius crossed his arms, but smiled.

"Ok, Ok. Yeah. But you were going all crazy and-"

"Is anybody gonna tell me what the hell is going on?!"

"Uh, Ok. Well, you see..." Sirius began.

"Maybe you should have rehearsed your speech beforehands?" Ally asked, innocently. "Yeah..." Sirius said vaguely.

"Um, anyway, everyone...." Remus took over. "Me and Sirius are...going out."

Ally went pale. "Artistic armadillos!" she cried, then looked thoughtful for a second. "Hey, that's a good one!" she exclaimed, before whipping out a notebook and pen and writing 'Artistic armadillos' under 'Dilly-Dallying Dragons'. James muttered something that sounded like, "What is it with Ally and armadillos?" before turning back to Sirius and Remus.

"OK," he said, shrugging. Peter looked mildly shocked.

"But....so -- wait...if you're just telling Ally and James, what have they been acting all mysterious about?" Ally smiled at him.

"Why, we're starting up Schoolpeople Loving Armadillos Group! Or, for short, S. L. A. G.!" Everyone cracked up laughing. They hadn't laughed so hard since the train on the way to Hogwarts. And if they had, it hadn't been real.

"OK. But, anyway, Sir, I've got a new song for you. And this one suits you even better than 'I like big butts'!"

"What is it?"

"Fell in love with a boy!" Ally cried, and began to sing. "Fell in love with a boy, I fell in love once and almost complete-ARG!" she squealed as Sirius takled her onto the ground, and the two began to wrestle. Remus, James and Peter laughed. Everything was back to normal, but better this time. Because this time, Remus had Sirius, and that made all the difference.

And the last sentance of this story, which could be heard wafting along the breeze a fair way away, was Ally crying, "Maybe later we should get some twisties! 'Coz life's pretty straight without twisties!"

The REAL End

adrienne: Hehe, I never thought of them going up to the common room and stuffs. I had already wrote the beginning of this when I got your review, so I couldn't do it. Good idea, though. Yeah. Poor Remmie, but now he has Sirius at least, and that would make me happy! (I'd be even more happy with Remmie though!)

Sincerity Inkwell: Thank you sooo much! I have you on author alert. Isn't that cool? :) You're story 'Better than Trelawny' is really funny. And again, THANK YOU! Yeah, Remus is hot, isn't he? sigh Wow, I just read your other reviews. I LOVE YA!!! You are the best!!!

TrippHandcuffs: Thank you!!!

hogwartsdiva: I know I've said this SOO many times, but thank you!! I love your story, it is so cool. I'm so glad you decided to read my story, even though you don't normally read slash. Thanks!

Grandma.: Thanks for taking the time and effort to give the constructive critisism. I tried to do what you suggested, but I'm only 12 and I couldn't really make it a lot more descriptive. However, I spell-checked it this time. blush I hope you like this better.

Hollow Haven: Yeah, I agree. With the rain, I mean. It's always been one of my favourite romantic scenes, too, and in my next story you'll see another one of my favourites. I kinda got my inspiration from Final Fantasy X. I won't say anymore if you haven't seen it, though! ; And with the yawning- ok, this is getting freaky. I just yawned when I was writing this. And again. ;;;

SP-in-Sirius-Denial : Well, here it is. And it was no problem letting you know. I hope you like it, some sweet happiness with some jokes. Well, come on! I had to! You couldn't expect me not to! Oh, and sorry for taking so long! The day I finished this, the internet wasn't working. Sorry!

Seraphina Pyra: Well, I fixed it. You probably already know, but, yeah. Anyway, I hope you like the epilogue!

RJ: OMG!!! I've never had fangirls before! I feel so honored! And, yeah, there should definately be more Rem/Sir fics! And, here's the epilogue! I don't think I'm going to be doing a sequel, I might though. Now I'm mostly focusing on starting a different one called 'Look how they shine for you'. It's a kind of songfic to the song 'yellow' if you've ever heard it, but you don't need to know it to like it, it's not a real songfic.

Grimy Grunhilda Grunt: Lots of love to you, too! ;D I know. Poor Remmie. :( But, he's got Sirius now, so he'll be happier!

M: That's the shortest name thingie Mental blank I've ever seen! ; Anyway, here I am! I've continued it! Hehe, I think my 'witty things to say' button is malfuntioning

And, finally, I'd like to say, once again, THANK YOU!!! My new story, 'Look how they shine for you' should be up sometime this millenium. It's another R/S, and just as fluffy. Maybe more? It'll be pretty short, too. Maybe a one-shot, but probably not. Well, C Ya!
