" Sit down everyone, let's please get through ONE dinner peacefully without havoc " Molly said staring pointedly at Fred and George.
"We're not gonna do anything!!" Fred and George said together with grins plastered to their faces.
" Yes, and You-Know-Who will tap dance inside the Department of Mysteries tonight! " Hermione piped up.
Everyone laughed at this remark , and talking consumed again.
" Sirius, you're awfully quiet, are you alright?" Harry asked his godfather with worry etched on his face.
" I'm fine Harry, thankyou for asking" I muttered , and continued fingering my food .
" No you're not, Padfoot what's bothering you?" Remus pressed .
" Nothing to about, just thinking about someone ." I said while nibbling on a piece of chicken.
" Padfoot, a word outside " Remus ordered. I stood up and walked wearily into the living room and turned towards Remus.
" What is it Moony?" I asked .
" Are you still thinking about her?" Remus asked making an emphasis on 'her' . I looked up with my eyes shining with unshed tears.
" I don't know what's got into me Remus , I was going through my old school stuff , and I came upon this photograph and the letter she had written to me before she left, and I broke down, if she would see me now. Everywhere I look I see her, I dream about her, I feel her touch on me, I can't bear it. I'm hearing her voice, telling me joke after joke by the lake, laughing as the four of us create a new scheme to play on the Slytherins, the warmth of her small body against mine as we creep through the empty corridors at night to go to the kitchens. I don't know what to do.." I finished in a small voice.
I looked up to see Remus looking at me with tears streaming down his pale face, " I miss her too."
