In The Time We Have Remaining

by Twix and Mum

Following PoA, Sirius is on the run, and there is only one person he can trust with his life and his heart. He and Remus work to rebuild what was destroyed all those years ago, and their struggle is, at turns, comic and poignant. COMPLETE.

14. Remus to Sirius, Late October

Late October
Dear Sirius,

Don't worry about me! You should be more concerned with getting yourself to Bristol safely. This last month went just fine. It would have been too much of a hassle to travel to London every day, and I thought, since there was a place here to transform, that I might as well use it and save a few Galleons.

Are you telling me it was Harry's wand that put that Dark Mark up in the sky? How on earth did that happen? Does he have any idea who did this? I suppose we can talk more in detail about this when you get here.

The thought of Mad-Eye's being a teacher is rather funny, isn't it? I wonder what the students think of him--I'm sure they'll never have a teacher like that again. That was a good move of Dumbledore to get someone he knows for sure he can trust. Harry will be much safer with him there.

The Tri-Wizard Tournament sounds like so much fun. I really wish we could have had it when we were at school. It's too bad that Harry's not of age so he could compete. I'm sure we'll hear more about it in The Prophet.

I apologize for such a short letter, but it seems silly to write much if you'll be here so soon.

I love you.

Remus
