The symbol ***** means another year has passed.

POV: Every line is a piece of dialogue of Sirius talking to Remus

_____

You're a Gryffindor too? Nice! I'm Sirius by the way. The idiot over there is James Potter. Nice to meet you, Lupin.

Studying? Again?? But it's so... boring.

Where did you get your scars from? Oh. No, really it's fine. Everyone has secrets.

Family disappointment squad! Oh. Just me? Alrighty then.

You're bleeding Lupin. Again.

You got a less than perfect??? Oh no! Whatever will you d- PUT THE BOOK DOWN!

A were-wolf... That's bloody awesome!

I never asked you... do the scars hurt?

Top of the class? Well I mean I never had a doubt that you'd be.

*****

James may have found a way for us to stay with you during the full moon.

Come on, the prank'll be hilarious!

So... shall we find you a girlfriend? What do you mean? It can't be THAT hard!

You've never liked quidditch?! How are you even alive right now??? No, no. I'll teach you everything you need to know about it. No WAY are you getting out of this one, Remus.

It's not like we've never gotten detention before. Relax!

Peter's worried again... why are the full moons getting worse for you?

Don't you trust me?

*****

I'm fine. Stop worrying all the time.

We're going to try again to become animagi this year. It'll work. It has to.

I didn't fail the test. I simply... avoided procuring a passing grade with my amazing talent.

Put the textbook down and come have some REAL fun. With your bestmates.

If James flirts with that cute blondie one more time... he is getting hexed. Hexed hard.

Have you seen Regulus? I'm not worried. Of course not! The little brat can do whatever he wants... I just haven't seen him around lately.

Live a little, Lupin!

*****

I didn't get your owls, I'm sorry.

So I've been thinking: Who needs parents anyways?

I, for one, like your new scar. It's dramatic. Gives you serious badass vibes.

So... full moon equals werewolf powers right? Powers/uncontrolled demonic form, tomato/tamato, whatever. The point is: What if we called you Moony? It's genius, I know.

I think James is actually set on winning over Evans. Surprising I know... but you're the one who knows her best. What do you think?

See you next year...

*****

Prefect huh? Not surprised in the slightest.

Come on. This time will WORK. We've been trying for how many years now? Whatever. The point is, we're going to make it happen. I'm -we're- not going to let you go through this alone. Alright, Moony?

You wouldn't report us... would you?

I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good.

Don't be daft, you ridiculous Prefect.

We did it... we  fucking did it!!! A dog, huh? Nice.

Y-you go through that... every... single... full moon? oh my god...

I'm staying at James's house now. You could always come visit if you get lonely.

*****

Snivellus is watching us again. Poor Evans....

You're stronger than you think. Don't forget that.

I've seen monsters and you're not even close to being like them, Moony. You never will be.

Seriously, I would never lie to you. I swear.

You're worthy of love and so much more.

Mary huh? I mean... sure. She's decent looking. I guess. Don't actually see it but whatever.

You've gotten me all wrong, as usual.

I'm not failing on purpose! Why would you even suggest that?!

Isn't that what we always do? Keep secrets.

Drop it, Lupin. I don't care.

*****

James is making me talk to you... Remus? I didn't mean that wait-

I'm sorry.

You're not just a last choice! Whoever doesn't put you first is a remarkably daft idiot and nothing can convince me otherwise.

Please stop walking away! What's wrong? I care about you okay? It can get really annoying at times, but I do care so deal with it.

Yes. I know. Mmhm. You're right. Okay. Yep. I agree. Can we kiss now? REMUS THAT WAS A JOKE!

Always.

This means you have to actually come to my quidditch matches.

Evans and James are so lost in each others eyes... it's gross. No. Your eyes are bloody perfect so don't even start that.

I love you. Don't you DARE argue with me about the one thing I'm actually sure of!!!

*****

We can be free together you know... we don't have to say yes to Dumbledore's request...

No way are you joining the fight alone. Hate to break it to you, but you're stuck with me Moony.

This is a war we were born into... our path was already doomed from the start line.

How do we know one of US isn't the spy, Remus?! It could be any of us!!!

*****

Of course in the middle of a war is when James decides to get married. That could be us you know... wait. LUPIN I SWEAR TO GOD GET OFF YOUR KNEE-

Group picture? Seems kind of weird, no?

Marlene's... Marlene's gone. It happened last night. No survivors.

I'm a godfather. Isn't he the cutest little thing you've ever seen? Dear god, I'm a GODFATHER!!!

I'll see you when you get back. Stay safe. Promise me?

***** 12 years *****

I didn't do it... it was HIM. He killed our BEST FRIEND!!!

Together?

He looks just like his father... acts like him as well. Has Evan's eyes though. They'd... they'd both be so proud of him.

I personally think we both should have been godfathers. So what if that's not how is works? Harry definitely needs a level-headed adult in his life right now. And it seems you're still the only sane one here.

I miss them too. Every single day.

*****

We have to save Harry. Tell me whatever it is when we get back.
