Challenge #12—Leaving it Behind

Remus watched as Sirius snuck up on James, and then smacked him with a pillow. Nostalgia overwhelmed him. He hadn't even left Hogwarts yet, and already he missed it. How could he not?

It was in this very room, on his first night at Hogwarts, that James Potter and Sirius Black quite enthusiastically extended their hands in friendship.

In the days, then years, that followed, Remus experienced happiness previously unknown to him. He was terrified that those days were about to end.

Peter must have sensed his anxiety, for he patted his friend's shoulder.

"No worries. We'll always be friends."
