Summary: In the MWPP era, Sirius receives a series of letters from an unknown person. He seeks to find the person and confront them, but the person is clever. Can Sirius find them?
Chapter 6. The Sixth Letter"She's sick and I'll hurt her?" Sirius inquired, "Hurt who?"
"How the hell should I know?" James asked him.
"Has Lily heard anything?" Sirius inquired
"She's got a list of third years that like you." Remus said, "I'll give it to you later."
"Those are just girls, right?" Sirius inquired
"Why would you ask a question like that?" Peter asked
"It has to be a girl." Sirius said.
"How do you know?" Remus asked
"Have you seen the hand writing?" Sirius asked
"Yes, and?"
"Well, it's either a girl or a guy with really girlie handwriting." Sirius said.
"Yes, it's a list of girls." Remus said.
"Thank you." Sirius replied, "Could we check on each of these girls and see how dark these freaks are."
"Just because they like you doesn't mean that they're freaks." James said, "It means that they have impeccable taste."
"Or that they're insane." Remus laughed.
"How very funny." Sirius sneered.
"I'll have Lily start tomorrow." James said.
"Thanks mate." Sirius said.
"Anything for you." James replied reaching out for a hug.
"No thanks…" Sirius laughed
"We'll get it straightened out." Remus said, "Don't worry."
"Yeah!" Peter said.
"Way to chip in, Wormtail." James said with a smirk.
"Well, you won't let me help any other way." Peter complained.
"Ain't that the bloody truth?" Sirius said.
"Don't worry," James laughed, "We'll find you a job that you can't possibly screw up at."
"I appreciate that." Peter scoffed.
"You wanted to see me, sir?"
"Yes, please sit down, Cathryn." Albus Dumbledor conjured up an armchair for her to sit in.
"Thank you, sir." She said taking a seat.
"I heard you had a bit of a run in with some upper-classman." Dumbledor said.
"Yes, sir." She said
"Particularly Severus Snape, James Potter, and Sirius Black." Dumbledor elaborated.
"Yes sir." She agreed.
"Were these boys giving you trouble?" The man inquired
"No sir." Cathryn said
"What was the problem?" He asked
"A mere misunderstanding." She replied
"I see." He said, "But you had a small attack and attended the hospital wing for medication later."
"Yes sir." Cathryn said.
"And is everything ok now?" He questioned
"Yes sir." She replied
"Then I'll see you tomorrow?" Dumbledor asked
"Yes sir." Cathryn said leaving.
"Cathryn?"
"Yes sir?"
"Be careful."
"Yes sir."
Dear the one who loves me,
Whom are you speaking about? This is quite random, if you ask for my opinion. Please talk to me!
Urgently
Sirius B.
"That's good, Sirius. I especially like the masterful use of 'whom.'" Remus complimented
"Why thank you, Mr. Grammer-king. For that masterful use of geekiness." Sirius replied
"You're quite welcome." Remus said.
"Lookin' good, Sirius." James said, "Anyways, we've cut about ten girls off the list, but we're still looking at about twenty-five more."
"Thirty-five girls like me?" Sirius inquired
"Probably more." Peter said, "These are just the ones we know about."
"Holy crap." Sirius said, "That's way more than I wanna think about."
"Well, we're narrowing it down as best we can, Peter is going to become our little ratty spy." James said.
"Score!" Peter said, "I'll get started tonight." He said sulking off.
"I'll send the letter off tonight." Sirius said sealing it into an envelope and addressing it.
He walked up to the owlry and found Cathryn had just received a letter.
"Hey." He said.
"Hey." She said.
"Sending or receiving?" He inquired
"Receiving, something from my father." She looked slightly downcast
"I'm sending." He said, "To a friend of mine." He replied
"Cool." She said, "Good night."
"'Night." He said mailing off the letter
Dear Mr. Black,
I think you know just of whom I speak of. The one who adores you so well, and so discreetly. Beware. She loves you not, and will not return your affection, like I would so wisely do.
Love,
The one who loves you…
"This is so wrong." Sirius said
"Yeah, who is she talking about?" Peter asked
"All I have to say is it better not be Lily, man, I'll hit you so hard I'll kill your family." James said
"It isn't Lily, Prongs, I swear to God." Sirius replied.
"So who do you like?" Remus inquired
"I don't know!" Sirius said loudly.
"Well you better figure it out!" Remus said.
