009: Christmas just isn't the same without you
From Remus Lupin to Peter Pettigrew, 14 Dec 1977, Hogwarts
Pete,
I know I made you promise to write me, but I couldn't wait for your letter, so I'm writing you first. We'll just call this further incentive not to go back on what you said, yeah?
Not much is happening in the castle. It's quiet, but of course James and Sirius are doing their best to remedy that. James was convinced he found a new secret passageway a few days ago, but it was just one he hadn't used in ages, already on the map. I think he's afraid he might miss something before we graduate. Anyway, Evans went home for the Hols, so we're getting the full force of his energy again. I'm undecided yet as to whether this is a good thing or not. You might want to pray for me, or something.
I hope everything is good as can be expected at home. I miss you. I love you.

Dear Remus,
I wish I were there instead of here. Mum is terribly sad all the time, and I understand, I really do, but it's making me sad all over again. At least at school I'd have the distraction of James rediscovering things and you and Sirius (hopefully) making fun of him for it. I also miss you like mad, and wish I could see you for other reasons other reasons. I'm reading the book you got me. It's really fascinating, all about some space ship appearing near Earth. Dad would have liked it.
I'll say a few Hail Marys for you.
Love,
Peter

Pete,
I wish there was more I could do from here to make things easier for you. Truth be told, even if I was there I'm not sure I'd be much help, but at least I could hold your hand. I know it can't be easy for you this holiday. I'm glad you like your book, though. I wish it was more of a distraction like I'd intended, rather than a reminder, though.
Love you,
Remus
P.S. Do you know how many times I've wished I'd gone straight to that secret room instead of the passageway first? I've thought about it a lot since you've been away.

Dear Remus,
It does make it easier knowing you care about me, even if you are at Hogwarts instead of here. My Ragmar Dorkins figurine spends a lot of time flying around in circles over my bed. It's fun watching him. I've thought about hanging paper hoops from the ceiling for him to fly through.
Have Sirius and James got in any trouble since I've been gone? I hope they didn't drag you into it. I think about you a lot. I miss you.
Love,
Peter
