SPOILER WARNING OF THE EVENTS IN BOOK 6 AHEAD! DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVENT READ THAT!
Remus Lupin sat in a large comfy chair in his apartment. Life had been dull enough when Sirius had died and now with Dumbledore gone there was barely anything to do whether with the order or other wise. Lupin in particular had been spending time with the Weasleys especially Bill and his soon to be wife Fleur. Since Bill's "accident" last year, he had been having a hard time dealing with his appearence.
The Order was desperately trying to find Snape and Malfoy (Jr and Sr), but so far they had barely managed to scrape anything up. Everyone was trying harder to work around Grimmauld Place, but the people who were working harder were usually the ones that were having a harder time letting go.
Remus' train of thought crashed when he heard a faint pecking that seemed to be coming from his bedroom window. He stood and slowly walked towards the sound. When he turned to the left towards the passage that lead to his bedroom, the pecking ceased. He continued to see if there were any letters and found a simple envelope sitting on the windowsill.
He proceeded to open the window and grab the letter. The letter had his name written on it in a familiar, yet unrecognizable, scrawly handwriting. His stomach dropped. "No...it couldn't be," he mubled to himself.
He opened it and started to read:
"To Those Who Will Miss Me The Most,
If you are reading this letter, please expect the worst or at least the closest to it. If you are reading this letter please know that you are not the only one. This letter was printed in numerous copies and sent to those who were closest to me, (Not that many for most of you are gone by now).
The first thing I would like to tell you all is that although I am gone my spirit and/or soul must be lurking around somewhere nearby..."
Moments later, his eyes were directed towards the suignature at the bottom of the parchment:
"Sirius Black"
Lupin dropped the letter and his eyes started to tear up the moment he remembered the strange and distant memories this letter brought back. Yes, a letter he had just recieved brought back memories of the day that the four of them, Wormtail, Moony, Padfoot, and Prongs, had each written one.
Ron, Ginny, Hermione, and the other Weasleys (with the exception of Percy), were sitting at the table eating breakfast. Charlie had decided to take some time off for his own brother's wedding, and speaking of which, the pair of them, Bill and Fleur, were nowhere to be found. Fred and George had decided to do the same, but as soon as brekfast had concluded they had left for the shop.
The twins had a lot of work to do after last year, in which the Death Eaters had used their "darkness powder" during the attack on the school.
Ron and Hermione finshed before Ginny, so they had decided to reply back to Harry.
" What should I write?" Ron sat with a confused look on his face as he waited for Hermione to fill him in.
" What do you think you should write, you idiot? Just say that the letter he sent us is in the envelope and ask him when he thinks he can come!" She said all this in nearly one breath and Ron astounded her yet again with the following remark...
" '...you...sent...us...is in...this...envelope and...'umm...what was the rest of that, Mione?" She looked up at her and she looked back at him with an incredulous look of pity...pity for his stupidness at least.
"Merlin, Ronald! Your hopeless," and with that she walked over and snacthed the quill right out of his hand. She completed the letter and read it twice over to make sure it was perfect. She returned the quill to Ron's hand and folded up the parchment. Ron handed her the envelope and they sent it back to Harry with Pigwidgeon, only to watch the over excited owl fly in to the window.
Ron had yet another red mark on his forehead now, but this time he had hit himself for his own stupidity. He picked up the small owl and opened the window. Then, all in a sucession of about 5 seconds, he threw the bird out the window and closed it, then proceed to follow Hermione back downstairs.
A/N: I hoped you like the new chpater...I will update ASAP but my comp is freaking out so it might not be for another week or two. Again sorry for the delay and PLZ PLZ PLZ REVIEW!
