Hey Sirius!
By now, you should expect a lack of James on days I write. He doesn't know the stories.
So, we've covered my infection and first moon... Hmm... What next? What other brilliant story would interest you? Well... I KNOW!
Its backtracking a bit- all the way to my birth actually. Back then, everythingin my family was good. My family had money, my mom smiled daily (or so dad said) and we were a happy... Foursome.
I've never told anyone, but for three days, I had a twin brother.
He had overtaken me in my mothers womb and gotten most of the nutrients. Never the less, we were born with extremely low birth-weights. My mum was tiny.
I wasn't supposed to last the night. My mum and dad named us right then.
They loved history, so they named us after the mythical founders of Rome. The story goes that Remus and Romulus were left to die on a hill side (people were paranoid.. and it wasn't all that uncommon.) A female wolf (haha) raised them and the grew up to build a great city. (aka- Rome)
I was named Remus, who was killed by his brother- which at the time, it looked like I would be. My brother took the name Romulus.
Somehow, over the long night, my situation improved greatly. My tiny body stabilized over the night, and I gained multiple grams through a sort of baby-IV. The opposite was true for Romulus.
He was fading fast.
His skin was yellow and he was barely breathing. In three days he would lose two pounds .
On the third day, he died in my parents arms.
My mum would keep a box with his ashes- she never spread them. His three onesies and baby-booties as well as a few pictures would never leave their mahogany box, but often as a child, and especially when I got bit, I would find my mum looking at it.
To this day I feel it was "my fault" he passed on, even if I was only three days old. Don't blame everything on yourself Sirius, it piles up. I've recently begun to forgive myself for Romulus...
It's not your fault your parents are rude, or your a Gryffindor. It just happens. Don't get down, it will all be fine when you get back to school, promise.
Remy :D
PS- Sorry I don't have more to write today... I can only write off of stories I was told, and no one like to talk about it.
A/N- Well.. that was strange. I beg of you again- IDEAS! Things you want to see. Just snippets. Basically.. (Remus or James or both!) and (prompt). It can be as simply as "summertime" or as complex as "riding a unicorn through Narnia as "The Final Countdown" plays epically in the backround. Oh and James is wearing a toupee.
