A/n: Hey! I hope you enjoy this chapter! Going to be pretty… sad and pitiful. But, I hope you like it. Enjoy!
Nolwe the Lady Dragon: Thank you! I'm glad you like it! Uh, the next story, "Sirius and Remus – Death of Lily and James/Azkaban" and the one after that, "Sirius and Remus – Modern Era" are already been written and posted. If you go to my bio, you can get links for them and read them if you want. Nvm, I just read your review for one of my other ones, nvm. You found 'em…
Elrenia daughter of Elrohir: I'm glad you like it, and think it's not too sweet. I don't think so, but I know some people do. Don't feel depressed! Thank you!
Dawniky: I'm so glad you like! Thank you! Yes, it is hard. You – nevermind, can't spoil the chapter.
Tracy_lou: Thank you! I will certainly try to.
Moongirl: I'm glad you like it! I will try to update sooner than I have been.
LoveToDanceLiveToSing: I'm glad you like it! You'll find out later what they are going to do. Well, she's going to be in it a little bit, but not much more. I've lessened her character greatly in this story because people were complaining about her being a Mary Sue. She's in the next one, though. (Sirius and Remus – Death of Lily and James/Azkaban) And I'm not sure about the last one. (Sirius and Remus – Modern Era). Haven't really decided since I've lessened her character. I know she will be a little bit, but I'm not sure how much. Not at a lot, I'm sure. I plan on writing a fanfic based on her later, once I don't have so many stories going at once, to work on her character, and I have had requests for it, as well.
Spirited-Away: It's okay. I'm glad you like it!
EYENMCDEYE: My thoughts exactly. I don't understand it. It's not how much she's in it now, its how much she was. I mean, I know I made her seem kind of perfect, but I meant to do that. I mean, seem perfect on the outside, but be the total opposite on the inside. I mean, she's in love with Voldemort and she's psychic. (Some may think it's a good thing to be psychic, but you really don't want to know what some people think about you.) How many more faults do you need? Thank you! I will!
JVanilly: Aw, thank you so much! I really appreciate! No, I thank all of you for reading this! I love emotions and romance, so that's what I write. I so glad that you like my story so much! I really appreciate that my story made you like SB/RL. I don't write to change people's opinions on anyone, I only write because I enjoy it. Thank you again so much!
Chapter 17
I suppose we could say that Sirius' summer went fairly well, except for the fact, of course, the Remus was not with him. Other than that, it went good. James, Peter, and Sirius, once they got together, did the homework that they had (it was much easier together) and then had fun. They drove James' parents crazy. (Sirius' parents had insisted that all 3 boys got to the Potter's house, and not bother them.) But it was all in good fun, and they knew it.
One thing though, is that James and Peter got sick and tired of Sirius when it came to Remus. Sirius and Remus wrote love letters back and forth all summer, and they were tired of all the sappy, romantic stuff that Sirius would write. Oh, and also, they got sick of the fact that Sirius wrote Remus every single day. Never did he once miss a day to write the love of his life, and after a month of it, they were sincerely getting tired of it.
Sirius missed Remus so much. He never failed to write him. He counted down the days till when he could be holding Remus in his arms again. He and Remus poured out their emotions for each other in the letters they wrote daily.
Dear Remus,
How are you doing? Not to bad, I hope. I'm doing fine. Except for the fact that you're not with me, of course. That would make everything so much better. But, sadly, you're not, and I'm counting down the days until you're back in my arms again. I miss you so much.
Anyway, James and Peter and I have agreed to get together in July. My parents are insisting that we go over to James' parents' house. Not sure why, but, hey, who's complaining?
Is any of the homework particularly hard? (Except for the Potions homework, I know you're having trouble with that.) I know you've done it already. I know you too well. James, Peter, and I all agreed to wait until we got together before we did it. It'll make things easier.
I really wish that you could meet up with us. I miss you terribly, love, and I want to be with you again. It's killing me not to be here with you, and not to fall asleep with you every night. I'm actually having trouble sleeping without you with me.
I hope your summer is not going too bad, and that your parents are treating somewhat well.
Love,
Sirius
Dear Remus,
Hey, love! How are you! I hope you're not doing to bad, I'd hate to hear it. Again, I'm doing alright, but would be doing much better if here with me.
James and Peter and I got to James' house today. We did our homework, and then played a little Quidditch when we finished. We had so much fun today. I really wish you could be here. You'd have fun, too, I know it.
We're already driving Mr. and Mrs. Potter crazy, and we've only been here for one day! (Doesn't surprise anyone, does it?) But they love us anyway, and the know it. They just roll their eyes at mostly. I think they learned never to get James and I together. We're horrible… But that's one of the reasons why you and Lily love us so much, right?
Oh, and hey, before I forget, James was made Head Boy! Can you believe that? James! Of all people! None of us could believe it. I think Peter almost fainted… I know I almost did. What on earth was Dumbledore thinking, making James Head Boy? Oh, and I don't know if Lily told you or not, but she's Head Girl, but I know that doesn't surprise anyone.
Hope you're doing well, love, and I can't wait to see you again.
Love,
Sirius
P.S. You're absolutely right! "Boyfriend" just doesn't apply to me. I'm glad James likes being called that, but I really don't. Never have. Yes, from on, I'd love to be considered your lover. It fits much better…Even if we've never made love. Anyway... Love you! Miss you!
Dear Remus,
The countdown's on! I'm dispensing with the formalities this time. I can't think of anything besides seeing you again! James and Peter are seriously sick of me now. All I talk about is you. I'm not sorry though. I'm in love with you, and I'm not going to hide it from them.
Oh, I miss you so much. You'd better get a lot of sleep the next couple days, because you're not going to get much at all once I'm with you again, I can promise you that. Oh, and stop blushing, cause I know you are. I'm not there to see how cute you are when you blush, so don't you blush.
Anyway, James and Peter are making gagging noises at me right now. I told James that he had no right to do that because Lily would love it if he wrote (or said) this kind of stuff to her, and that shut him up. I told Peter that I'd pound him into the ground if he continued, and that shut him up. You think they're the only getting sick here? I am, too! I have to hear the comments all the time, and it's driving me crazy. I know they mean well, but come on…
Anyway, I hope you're well, and I miss you terribly, and can't wait to see you again! I love you so much.
Love,
Sirius
Remus loved the letters that Sirius sent him. He missed him so much. He did not like living with his parents. They… They were just plain scared of him. Every time they saw him, even though they smiled, fear was reflected back in their eyes. Not hatred, fear. It hurt. He knew that they loved him, he was their son after all, but they were so afraid that one night on the full moon he would break free of his cage (which wasn't possible, he was sure) and tear them into pieces in their summer. He had long since stopped crying about it. Sirius understood, though, and that helped. Sirius always understood. Though it still pained him to think that his friends and his boyfriend – how he hated that name, it just didn't apply to their relationship or to Sirius, he (and he was sure that Sirius did as well) much preferred lover, but they hadn't done more than kiss, but they were in love – how they could accept him and not show fear in their eyes whenever they look at him, but his own parents couldn't. How they people that had given him life could not accept him, but 3 kids, who were nearing 12, could. It didn't make sense…
Remus threw the thoughts from his
mind, like he always did. Oh, how he wished Sirius was here…
Dear Sirius,
Hey! No, I'm not doing too bad, but I'd much rather have you with me. Glad to hear you're doing well.
I hope you and James and Peter have fun without me, and no, the homework's not that hard. Potions is pretty tough for me, but as for the others, as long as you pay attention to detail and stuff, you should be fine.
Of course your parents don't want the 3 of you there! They know better!
I wish I could, love, but you know I can't. I miss you, too. So much. It's killing me, too. I'm having trouble sleeping, too. I miss you so much, love…
No, my parents aren't treating me too bad, they never do. I can't wait to see you again.
Love,
Remus
Dear Sirius,
Hi, love, and no, I'm not doing too bad. This letter isn't going to be very long, I'm so tried. The full moon was just a couple days ago, and I'm going to go back to sleep before dinner.
Glad to hear that you and James and Peter are having fun. I wish I could be there, too, love. I'd much rather be there with you and our friends. I'd be having a much better, time, I assure you. But don't worry, I'm fine. Just would rather be with you, that's all.
Ha! Well, they should've known better. They're learning now, aren't they? Sounds like me. I roll my eyes at you all the time. Yes, sadly, that is one of the reasons we love you two so much. Why? It's a mystery, I suppose.
Wait… You're kidding me! James! Head boy! Dear Merlin! I didn't think that was possible! What was Dumbledore thinking? James? Head Boy? Those words shouldn't even be in the same sentence, let alone reality! Yes, Lily owled me, and no, she doesn't surprise me one bit; we knew that was going to happen, but James? Anyway, tell James Congratulations for me, and that I think Dumbledore is seriously mistaken in letting him be Head Boy, and to shut up (good naturedly, of course) when he starts smarting off.
I'm dong well, and I can't wait to see you as well. Miss you.
Love,
Remus
P.S. Much longer than I thought, and I'm worn out now, but the "shock" shocked me to much, and now am going to bed! Love you!
Dear Sirius,
Hey! I'm not thinking about much besides you either. Only a few days, can you believe? I can't wait! I miss you so much! I don't really having anyone to talk to, so I can't say that I've talked about you much. My parents are real sociable with me…
I miss you so much, and really want to hurt you for that remark. You're horrible, Sirius Black, do you know that? Absolutely horrible. Yes, I am blushing, and do anything about it, and you very well know that, you git.
Tell James and Peter for me that I absolutely agree with you, and that they need to shut up. They have no respect do they? No respect at all for two lovers that can't see each for 2 months! Oh, and yes, Lily would love it if James was more romantic.
I miss you terribly as well, love, and can't wait to see you again at Platform 9 ¾. Love you.
Love,
Remus
P.S. Yes, I am very glad that you can't reply to this letter, because I won't get before I see you again and you know it. Again, love you, and miss you, and can't wait to see you again.
Remus and Sirius really did count down until they could see each other again. They also sincerely hoped that they would not have to repeat these past few months, ever. As they went to sleep the night before they were to leave for Kings' Cross all they could think was, I can't wait!
A/n: Well, I hope you liked that! I'm so glad that I wrote this so fast! (It's 1 AM, btw.) You should be so proud of me! (Don't expect this very often. I promise nothing, and you should know that.) Anyway, not much commentary/story line, I know, but I hope you liked the letters. Oh, and in case you didn't figure it out, Remus' letters were replies to Sirius'. I hope you enjoyed! R/R!
A/n2: I will try to post this as soon as possible. FF.net is down right now, and I can't post it. Whenever it is up and running (which will probably be sometimes tomorrow, Sunday) I will post immediately. Sorry that you have to wait longer. I hope you enjoyed my chapter. R/R!
