DISCLAIMER:I do not own Harry Potter as evidence check the pairing in Book 6.

A/N:Well here we are at the last chapter of WaLCR. I want to thank everyone for reviewing and/or reading. I really appreciate it. Without you and your general liking of this story I would not have had the heart to finish it. You have all made this story worthwhile for me...

DEDICATION: I want to dedicate this last chapter to three people specific people. First of all, to Emmy for getting me to turn this from a one-shot into a multi-chapter story. Second to Piper for her encouragement and lastly to Jayda(jreed16)for talking some sense into me and getting me to (finally!)write this chapter. Hopefully I'll talk to all three of you soon.

Chapter 4:

Hours after the 'classroom incident' as Sirius seemed to have named it, they found themselves laying together on the couch in Harry's apartment. Harry seemed quite content to rest in Sirius' arms forever, and Sirius would have been content in letting him;but Sirius also needed some answers.

"How..." Sirius began hesitantly before his curiosity got the better of him and he began blurting out questions. "How did you become a teacher? Why that subject? Why did you think I didn't love you? When did you fall in love with me? Why-"Sirius was abruptly cut off by Harry's lips on his own.

"Are you going to let me answer now?" Harry questioned as he removed his lips from Sirius' as fast as they had been placed.

Sirius nodded.

"Well...to begin with I had been planning the move for awhile. I mean I had the means to get away. I just needed the motivation. By that time I'd already decided to further my education. I'd been excepted to quite a few universities; both magic and muggle until I decided on Oxford. For the next four years I spent all of my time either in classes or studying." Sirius gave him an awe-filled look, whilst Harry shrugged. "It kept my mind off of you and the life I had left behind. Anyway I graduated at the top of my class. I had a degree in both teaching and the History of Art. By that time I had already decided to leave England. So here I am."

Harry sighed and turned so that he was facing the dark-haired man behind him. "How was I to know that you loved me if you didn't seem to know yourself?I'll bet that you didn't even know you did until I was gone..."

Sirius looked away, ashamed.It was true...he hadn't.A sigh brought him back to the conversation.

"I can't pinpoint exactly when I fell for you. But I think I realised it...when you fell down the stairs."

Sirius let out a bark-like laugh. "When I fell down the stairs?"

The younger man smiled and his eyes had a far away look in them as if he was remembering a memory from long ago.

"I had walked out of my room, ready to go down and start dinner, when I saw you take a tumble down the staircase. I ran down after you-nearly falling myself-to make sure that you were alright, but you just started...laughing. And as I sat there, kneeling at your side I couldn't help but smile." He paused. "You could always make me smile and then I realised that in those moments when I thought you could have been hurt... The only thing I thought about was getting to you as fast as possible... The only thing I thought about was taking you into my arms and kissing away any pains you may have been feeling. It was such an onslaught of emotions for a simple accident that you ended up laughing at."

Sirius looked at the younger man who who was currently sitting on his legs. This man...This unbelievably beautiful man had just made the most heartfelt declaration of love he had ever heard.

He quickly leaned forward and wrapped Harry into a hug while kissing the crown of the man's head. "I love you, Harry...oh god I love you."

Harry quickly wrapped his arms around Sirius, completing the hug. "I know, Siri. I know you do."

And as they pulled back and looked into each others'eyes they both knew that they would do anything for each other...They would die for each other...but most importantly; for each other, they would live.

EPILOGUE:

The rest of their lives played out like a fairytale. At the end of that academic school year(in which Sirius continued to be the teacher's assistant) they moved back to Godric's Hollow. Once there everyone was overjoyed to see Harry return, and ecstatic that Harry and Sirius were a couple. Severus Snape was even quoted saying 'Finally! The sexual tension may finally cease! Although knowing them and their need to torment me it won't turn out that way.'

Sirius and Harry eventually got bonded by Professor Dumbledore, who's eyes twinkled far more that night than anyone had seen before.

People always said that most partners lost their passion for each other as the years went by...Sirius and Harry seemed to do the direct opposite. They remained as disgustingly in love as they had been when they had been when they had first gotten together...If anything they had gotten worse.

But everyone was happy for them-even though at times they were so sappy that anybody in the immediate area felt as if they were going to be sick. Both men were finally getting their Happily-Ever-After, and they both deserved it.

And with the end of our story comes a simple truth...Sometimes a letter can bring the best realizations.

FIN
