A.N. This is all from James's point of view. Please send in your reviews and requests, I will finish my current requests by the end of the week-end, or at least the first chapter of them. I do het as well as slash if that was unclear. And now please Read, Review and Enjoy. Thank-you!
"It's official; snitches are way too small and bloody fast and- Wait! There it is." James gave a lung across his dormitory in pursuit of the snitch he had "borrowed". He'd been planning to charm it to turn whoever touched it scarlet and gold but it had somehow gotten loose in his dorm. Funny how these things happen when one experiments with highly magical objects. James was just glad that none of the other boys were here to see this, Peter had mentioned something about Becky, his girlfriend of two months, four days, and seven hours, and Remus and Sirius had wandered off somewhere.
The snitch flew just out of James reach. James gritted his teeth and lunged for it, knocking over a stack of papers by Sirius's bed. Not good, but he had the bloody snitch. Now how did you deactivate this thing?
After a eight minutes, five mild expletives, three not-so-mild expletives, two oaths to never play Seeker, and a partridge in a pear tree, (James wasn't quite sure how he'd ended up conjuring those and wasted a minute and a half trying to vanish them, and that was before the partridge attacked, the bloody bird) James successfully deactivated the snitch. After a minor victory dance, no need to get cocky about it after all even if he had just done some amazing moves if he said so himself, James was free to survey the damage of said amazing moves. James winced. He had seen tornados leave less damage. But that's why they were wizards, right? With a simple swish the room became covered in soap. Okay so maybe Scourgify hadn't been the best spell to use. With another wave the soap vanished and James resigned himself to manual labor.
It was while straightening Sirius's papers that a certain letter caught his eye. More specifically the words "Anniversary" and "Love". What was this, some secret girlfriend Sirius hadn't told him about? James was briefly annoyed at Sirius then remembered he hadn't told anyone about his crush on Evans… Still with that nothing had happened… yet. James pulled the letter out.
To my Sirius,
Anniversary? You want to celebrate our anniversary? Yes, I know Peter does it but really! Do you want me to take you to Madam Puddifoot's, after all that's what Peter did with Becky? I didn't think so.
Besides, my Sirius, how long have we been together? Do you know the dates? I don't. For I believe that we were made for each other, destined for each other since time began. How can you date that? And should you try to, when would you put the start? Five months ago in the Common Room, when we first confessed our love? The day we first met, four years ago, when a relationship became inevitable? Or the first time I loved you? That must have happened in a life before this for I have always loved you, even before I knew you. No, ours is a different sort of relationship without anniversaries for we are but one soul, one heart in two bodies and we have been together, belonged together since before time. My Sirius, how does one mark that?
With my Love, Heart, Body and Soul,
Your Remus
James stumbled back shocked. Remus! Sirius and Remus. But- but- James saw, in his mind, the two of them laughing in the Common Room over something only they could understand, sharing a look. The same look he wore when he was thinking of Evans. Remus and Sirius. But- but- how could he have missed this? The flirting, the "accidental" touching. The way they looked at each other with the exact same look he prayed Evans would someday wear looking at him. Sirius and Remus, Remus and Sirius. But- but- they were so perfect for each other.
James smiled, happy for his friends' happiness. Sirius and Remus. Well now he knew. That also explained Peter's knowing look when those two wandered out of the room a couple minutes after each other. That bastard, Peter, had known all along and he hadn't told, even to the great James Potter. Now there's a guy you could trust to keep a secret. Remus and Sirius. James's smile took a decidedly evil turn. Yes now he knew and accepted them-only they didn't have to know that. Oh this was going to be fun…
James distractedly put the letter into one of Remus's books as he went off to find his friends. Years later, tormented by memories of the recently departed Remus would open that book and find his letter to his lover from a happier time. And every word would pierce his heart as he screamed that he didn't share the soul of a murdering traitor. Yet he couldn't deny that the words of the letter still rang true the small crevice of his heart where he knew the truth. And that part of his heart would offer up a small prayer for the boy Sirius had been, the boy who still had his Love, Heart, Body and Soul.
Years Later James would have that look of love from Lily Evans…
Years Later Peter would reveal a secret…
Years Later Sirius would laugh because his world had ended…
And Years Later Remus would weep…
..But Then was a happier time…
