A/N: Sorry about the awful ending the last chapter had! Please forgive me! I promise this one is much better!

Harry spent the rest of the day looking through the pictures. On the very last page, Sirius was holding Remus in his arms and grinning.

"That was the night before the Halloween dance. When we announced our relationship to James and..Peter." Remus Lupin's voice came from behind Harry, and it sounded hoarse.

"Sir..I was..wondering.." He was having a hard time finding the right words to say this with, "How did you know you loved Sirius?"

Remus laughed, "Loved? I still love him. Why do you think I keep telling Tonks I am too old for her? It is just an excuse, because I could never betray Sirius like that." Remus smiled sadly, gently lifting the photo album from the ground where Harry had it sitting. He pulled the picture out and turned it around...

"Remus, I love you." Sirius said, the glint in his eyes growing brighter, "I swear, I always will." Remus smiled at this, his tears still streaming down his face. He turned and walked into the Gryffindor common room, his hand firmly entwined in Remus'. "James, Peter, Remus and I...we are dating."

Peter's eyes grew so wide the looked like teacups, but James just smiled, then stood and hugged them both, "Bloody Hell, it is about time you tell us! What, did you think I wouldn't put two-and-two together? I mean, Merlin's beard, Sirius, you starting volunteering to go to the library, just to be alone with Remus!" He grinned, happy that his friends were finally being honest with him.

Dumbledore rose from his seat at the staff table, and all the chattering in the Great Hall died down, "Tomorrow night, as you all know, is Halloween, and we will be hosting a masquerade ball." He looked over the top of his half moon glasses, his eyes dating from Sirius to Remus, then back to Sirius.

"As you may know, this means costumes, masks, and...dates." He glanced over at the boys once more when he said the last word; "So, tomorrow I expect you all to be here at nine p.m. for the festivities." As he sat back down, the Great Hall erupted in chatter once more, and James stood and sauntered over to the girl everyone know he fancied, Lily Evans. "So, milady, will you accompany me to the masquerade ball?" He grinned, ruffling the back of his head to make his hair stick up messily. She gave him a look of utmost loathing, then replied in a hurried, angry voice, "After you were caught snogging that cow Marisa Mimsy? I think not!" She then slapped him, loud enough to make every head in the Great Hall snap towards them. She stormed off, and he was left there, dejected and sporting a red-mark in the shape of her hand.

(Night of the Masquerade Ball)

Sirius held a hand out to Lupin, who was wearing a pair of muggle jeans and a deep navy shirt with a sphinx across the front. Underneath it were the words "Egyptian Twister." In gold lettering. Sirius couldn't help but smile. They were his favorite band. His hair was even colored for the occasion- it was a navy blue with honey-gold tips. He smiled at Sirius and blushed slightly, and Sirius could feel his heart stop in mid-beat. "My God, Lupin, your the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on." He whispered, nuzzling his face into Remus' soft neck. All Remus could do was say the same to Sirius, but he believe Sirius was the most beautiful thing he had ever laid eyes on. Sirius wore black trousers, covered in rattling chains, and wore a black shirt, a splatter of crimson in the area his heart was, made to look like blood. Sirius seemed to glow angelically this night, his hair swept over one eye slightly, and his face pale in the moonlight. Remus smiled and leaned into Sirius, kissing him deeply, then pulled away, "Lets get to the ball."

Several dances, butterbeers, and snogging sessions later, Remus collapsed onto Sirius' bed, wrapping his arms around the other. They snuggled close and fell asleep, grateful to have each other.

"Harry, Sirius and I spent every day together, and he became increasingly notorious for his rendezvous with the ladies. I realized that every time I heard about them, it made me want to tear myself apart from sadness. Then one day, I told him how I felt..and he just held me and told me that was how he had always felt about me." Remus was now smiling, these words making him realized just how much he loved Sirius Black.

"Er..Sir..I think..I think I love Ron." Harry said it loudly and quickly, as if he thought saying it like that would keep Lupin from understanding him.

Remus just smiled serenely, "I know you do, Harry."

Harry gave him a weird look, then stood, "I'm going to write Hermione a letter, okay?" Remus nodded and Harry raced off to get some parchment and a quill.

'Dear Hermione:

I know now. I am a freaking pouf. Oh well, at least I know for sure. Since I figured out what I am...I want to know...what exactly did you and Ginny talk about? You know, that thing you mentioned to me? Oh, and tell Ron I said hi, and that I really loved his gift. The toy Ron found my model firebolt yesterday, it was hilarious to watch him jump on and try to ride it. Oi, also, I am not at the Dursely's. I ran away. It is a long story, a really long story, maybe I will tell you after you tell me about you and Ginny.

Love, Harry "

Harry signed his letter quickly and ran into his room, pulling Hedwig out of her cage, tying the letter to her leg, then sending her off.

--

He lay back on his bed, waiting for the reply from Hermione, when Ron once again came in. This time, Ron didn't have on a shirt or trousers, just boxers. He jumped on the bed next to Harry, and began kissing him. But it wasn't hard and rough like before, this time it was soft, sweet, and best of all, loving. Harry moaned lightly, then turned so he was on top of Ron. He gasped when he felt the other's erection rubbing against his through his trousers, but ignored it. He liked what he was doing, he liked the soft gentle kisses Ron was giving him. He kissed Ron, then just cradled him in his arms as he drifted off to sleep...more like woke up.

He groggily complained about having the best dream of his life, then put his glasses on and looked around. The moon was out, and Hedwig was perched on the windowsill, pecking against the glass so Harry would let her in. He opened the window, and Hedwig put her leg out so Harry could untie the response, then she flew back out, ready for her nightly hunting.

Harry unrolled the parchment and began to read:

"Dear Harry,"

A/N: Ah, yes, don't you hate me so very much for that awful cliffhanger? I bet you do! Well, the more reviews I get, the quicker the next chapter gets up!

And now, to reply to reviews:

Dreamer2, thank you for your kindness. I wrote the Ron and Harry kiss for you. I was going to do more, but it came out too forced, so I went with my gut and did the tender kiss, instead.

My Queen, Thank you so much for the kindness! I 3 You!

Hellshallbemine, thank you for your kindness, also. Your fanfictions are among some of my favorites, so it warms my heart to know that you enjoyed mine!

Thank you all!
