Remus,

I have to make this quick. We're about to leave for the beach in this ridiculous muggle car my dad leased. Sirius caught a fit when he saw your letter was for me and he's been driving me absolutely batty trying to read it. I've managed to hold him off and I told him I felt a raging case of diarrhoea coming on so he'd leave me alone. So needless to say, I'm writing to you from the toilet. He actually had to stop and decide for a minute whether or not he was going to let me come in here alone. He's nothing if not dedicated to his causes. Nutter.

He told me he was going to tell you I was upset by things you said in your letter, which I did briefly steal from him, but I'll explain why later. He wanted me to read it for myself, but I said I refused if the word 'cock' was used in it. He said it wasn't and why would he use that word when they both have perfectly good names. I really, really, really did not want to know what he was talking about, but then I found out anyway and I must say that I'm quite honoured (in a horrified way) to have a namesake. Guess I don't have to have children of my own now. How could it get any better?

Anyway, he just read me the parts of it that had to supposedly do with me (along with a few things that didn't, but I'm in the process of mentally blocking that out so I can look you in the eye again when I see you next.) I never dreamed you'd actually believe any of that rubbish. You know how he loves to take the piss as often as he can. Even with you. It's his twisted way of showing affection, you know that. I mean can you honestly ever picture me calling you 'sweet' or ' that lovely young boy'? You know you're very important to me and I like you loads, but those words will never come out of my mouth to describe you. You must be in a right state if you really thought I said those things. I'm sorry, Moony, I would have stopped him from doing it if I had known you were already so upset. And yes, despite what you may think, I can stop him if I want to, I just save it for when it's really important. Could be the most valuable thing I've learned at Hogwarts so far.

Now I'll explain why I stole your letter from him. I assure you, as soon as I saw that the first line read "You allowed James to suck you off," the realisation that this was far more punishment for me than for him set in and I promptly handed the letter over, begging for no clarification of the statement. He deserved the attempted retribution. You should see what he did to me, Moony, just because he was bloody bored or he wanted to see if he could. We were having breakfast and he was staring at me oddly. All of a sudden, I felt a tingling on my forehead. I yelled at him to stop looking at me like that and then he burst out laughing. I ran to the loo to look and he had made hair grow on my face to make it look like I had one giant eyebrow! He didn't even use his bloody wand! He swears he didn't do it, but there's no other explanation. It's more than a little scary that someone as mental as him is capable of such things. My mum fixed me up soon after, so I am now returned to my handsome self.

He is definitely an influence on you, though I wouldn't necessarily say it was a bad one. I think you've smiled more in the past months that you two have been together than you did in the 4 years I knew you before that. And I know you're the best thing to happen to him since getting sorted into Gryffindor. I'm honestly a little envious of how much you two dolts love each other. All the little things you two share; the casual touches in the hallway when you think no one's looking, always having a seat saved for you in class, knowing you never have to sleep alone. I want that too. I hope it happens one day. I tell only you this, Remus, because I know you'll never use it against me like certain others would. If he ever finds out, I shall deny it to my grave.

I'm not asking what information you think he's withholding from you (for same fear of involvement of male genitalia expressed in previous letter), but if he is, I'm sure he's not doing it out of cruelty. One thing you have to give him, Remus, is that there's not a cruel bone in his body, especially where you're concerned. He probably just thinks that whatever it is might hurt you and he wants to protect you from that.

Try as you might, you know you can't stay mad at him. He's not a dog by accident. Who can stay mad at a big, goofy, lovable pup even if he has a pee on the floor occasionally. Yell at him if it makes you feel better, but just know that he'd never intentionally hurt you.

So much for a quick letter, eh? I'd better go now, he's caught on to my ploy and is threatening to break the door down. I may just have to let him read your letter so I can sneak away and get this one sent off. I'm sure we'll figure out a way to still owl even from the beach.

You knew you were in for a challenge when this started . Don't be too hard on him.

Best,
James

P.S. I heard about the ridiculous debate over who is the man and who is the woman in your relationship. Honestly, you're both bloody birds, taking turns having your fits. I tell him regularly that I think he's the woman. It frustrates him so satisfyingly.

P.P.S. If I ever do develop deep-seated homosexual love for either of you, it would be you. Just so you know. Yes, I'm man enough to admit that.

P.P.P.S. I'm nervous about Lily's party. What should I wear? I know we're going to a muggle club, but I'm not wearing any ridiculous leather trousers. What would she like?

Remus,

Sirius is back. I'm sure you won't get this until the morning, so I'm sorry you had to have an undoubtedly sleepless night. Regulus, huh? Merlin, you don't cock things up very often, but when you do, you REALLY do. No wonder he's even more mental than usual. Once you go Black, you never go back, eh? Sorry, you're not in the mood for jokes......

Earlier this evening, I was in my room writing to Lily when I heard what sounded like a very soft knock on the door. My parents had gone out (I told them Sirius was spending the night at a friend of ours' house so I wouldn't have to get them involved in this), so I went to the door and opened it and found him standing there. He was a complete wreck, Remus. I've never seen him look so pitiful. His eyes were bloodshot and red-rimmed, his hair was a knotted mess and his clothes were all dirty and torn. He had a look on his face unlike any I've ever seen before. The snarky indifference was replaced by hurt and anger.

I just pulled him to me and hugged him as hard as I could. Seeing someone I love looking so broken was unbearable and that was the only way I could think of to help him. He fought me at first, but he was so exhausted, there wasn't much fight left in him. He relented and just let me hold him and I felt his shoulders start to shake. He was actually crying. Sirius Black was sobbing on my shoulder. If I ever had any doubt about how much he loves you (not that I ever did, mind), I don't anymore. I've never seen him like this before.

He pushed me away after a few minutes and said if I ever mentioned this again he'd hex me into oblivion. He walked to our room and fell on his bed completely clothed and went immediately to sleep. I covered him with a blanket in case he got cold. I'm going to sleep now too, I just wanted you to know he was back, safe and (almost) sound.

You'll be ok eventually, you and him. Give him time. He'll write to you when he's ready.

Best,
James

MOONY, HE'S GONE!! Sirius is GONE!! I woke up this morning and saw his bed was empty. I thought he got up early or something, so I went to look around the house for him. He wasn't there and he wasn't outside either. I figured Padfoot took off again, so I went back to my room. That's when I found the note on his pillow. It just said, "LONDON. DON'T BLOODY OWL REMUS!!!!!!"

Why would he go to London? His parents' house? I swear, nothing happened here that would make him want to leave, so what is he on about? Is this something to do with the fight you two are in? Why the bloody hell would he go to his house? I can't think of anywhere else in London he'd go. I'm starting to freak out, but I really don't want to alarm my parents if this is just one of his fits and he's going to be back in a few hours.

You know him better than anyone, what should I do?

Remus,

I don't mean to alarm you with another letter, but you asked me to let you know if anything odd was going on with Padfoot since he has a tendency to be a bit reticent. I realise 'odd' is a relative term when applied to one Sirius Black, but I think this qualifies.

After he read your last letter, he shredded it into a million pieces and stormed out of the house. I carefully asked him what was wrong on his way out, but he just yelled, "THERE IS NOTHING WRONG! DON'T YOU GODDAMNED OWL REMUS AGAIN!" I also heard him mumble something about more than my lips being at risk for hexing if I wrote to you. So I'm apparently risking a few facial features, limbs and whatever else he could think of to hex off as I write this.

Again, I saw a flash of black disappear into the field out back. He was only gone for about an hour and when he got back he was calmer, but acting a bit off. Mum asked me to de-gnome the garden, but he said he wanted to do it and that he'd prefer to do it alone. I watched him, Moony and I swear, he was hurling the little buggers so hard, I think some may have landed in your back garden. My dad had to fix a hole in the bathroom wall too. Sirius said he fell and it happened when he tried to catch himself, but the bruises on his knuckles make me think differently.

He was very quiet this evening. He stayed in our room and didn't come out for dinner or anything. He seemed to be sleeping when I went in there a few minutes ago, but I think he was faking it. I almost could have sworn I heard him sniffling, but I'm not sure. I'm used to him yelling and pitching a fit when he's upset. This is sort of scaring me.

What is it that could be so terrible?

No, don't tell me.

Ok, if it doesn't involve any male genitalia, tell me.

He wouldn't react like this if it didn't, so just forget I ever asked.

Forever platonically yours,
Prongs

P.S. One day I'll have to thank Padfoot for giving me all of this practice dealing with irrational people. It should come in handy when Evans is finally mine. I hear that the birds go a bit batty once a month.

Remus,

I know you were expecting a letter from Sirius, so I apologise for any disappointment hearing only from me brings you. Earlier today, he came crashing through the kitchen and stormed out of the house. I ran outside and called after him, but all I saw was a flash of black disappearing into the tall grass across the way. I went into my room and found your letter crumpled up on the floor. Hope you'll forgive me for reading it. Believe me, having to read all of your boysmut was punishment enough. I think your revelation of our fourth-year misdeeds must have set him off. I know he's just overreacting, but I suppose we should have told him about The Spin The Bottle Incident when you two became ....um....what you are.

I wouldn't have bothered owling you, as I'm sure he'll be back as soon as he's cooled off. It's just that he's been gone a while and I wanted to give you a heads-up in case he got some barmy idea to show up there. I'm sure he won't. If there's one thing I've learned about Pads in almost 6 years, it's to just leave him alone until he comes to his senses. I'll explain everything to him as best I can when he returns.

He or I will owl you as soon as he stops being an oversensitive git (well, about this anyway) and returns.

Best,
James

P.S. Have you heard from Evans? I've written to her almost daily and she has yet to write back to me.
