Scene: Post-Second War, Hogwarts and Heaven, 1998
Words: 100x2
Authors note: I think I rewrote everything but the end a billion, thrillion, gazillion times, so this is the official end… I won't mess up the experience here with a long A/N.

For the last time this Calendar 2009, sadly enough, enjoy.

"Sirius" Remus called, filling the heavens with his sweet voice and I grabbed him impatiently.

"You're here" we echoed without believing our words.

"Remus, I-I" I tried but the lump in my throat grew bigger.

"I tried life" he said instead, muffled by my embrace. "And freedom"

We parted unwillingly. "Remus, I-I tried to guard you"

"I know" he declared, glittering in sunrays and light. "you were amazing"

"Far from it! You're dead!" I reminded him insensitively.

"Evidently…" he said, chuckling inappropriate and radiating glee.

Watching him happy was always more fascinating than life; being kissed unexpectedly was always beyond.

"But Sirius," I continued, still chuckling after kissing him senseless. "I felt you with every heartbeat"

He sighted in joy and I admired his scar free face and magnificent grays that gazed at me slightly bemused and completely beautiful.

"Moony, we're finally everlasting" He promised me, glowing bright behind tears and embraced me again.

I held him closely to make sure he stayed forever and let my lupine sense feast on smells of chocolate, home and the hints of Gillyweed that lingered, things I came to love because of him.

And I smelled Sirius.

The fragrance I loved just because.

Extended A/N or the credits I should call it:
First of all, THANK YOU, all the loyal Alerters, favorites and of course the sweet reviewers who brought me happiness as I produced these little ones. I don't think every day for a good 25 would be manageable without your helpful, cute, random and sometimes melting reviews. I would start drabbling names but you know who you are and I even consider a few of you my friends after these long, yet short, 25.

With that said, this is the end of this Christmas Calendar.

I hope you enjoyed the ride. The only thing left is traces of chocolate crump's, gift wrappings and memories of unlocked pieces of Sirius and Remus (and I have a collection of bloopers and unmade scenes to feast upon)!

I wish you a more than a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Much love from Remus Lupin, Sirius Black and Lumos Maximum
