James Potter was hunched up in a corner putting the final flourish to his letter home.
... So thats why I got a detention for the fifth time last week... A mere misunderstanding...
Though what could be misunderstood about the fact he had made it so none of the Slytherins could get into their beds at night was beyond him...!
Love you, your likkle boy: James... xxx
He finished it like this, smiling fondly before attaching it to his owls leg and sending her off.
He liked the owlry with its different sounds and smells (owl screechings and owl poop). It was nice to just think....

The tapping footsteps of a third year Gryffindor began to resound in the Owlery, before Remus appeared in the doorway, watching James curiously. He looked like he'd been crying a little. Remember- I said a little! Auburn hair was strangely messed up, framing Remus' pale face. His thin frame leant almost elegantly against the doorframe. "You wanted to see me?" Remus asked softly, amber eyes glancing at James.

James glanced up, glad that Remus had come.
He sighed a little- noting how Remus didn't look happy... Therefore the meeting with Sirius hadn't gone well. He gulped- he didn't want to open old wounds that might be healing- yet he needed to know what had happened.
He took a deep breath and smiled at his friend "Hey," he said softly, rubbing his arm "I just wanted to see how your...uh...meeting with Sirius went.. I mean if you're ok...and stuff.." He trailed off. He wanted so badly to be able to say the right thing but it seemed his words jumbled themselves up and came out wrong.

Remus stared at him, amber gaze boring into James'. "To put it frank, he's heading towards an early grave," Remus answered softly, in that same brisk tone he always used. "To toy with a werewolf's emotions could be your death sentence." Remus added, eyes downcast. Though, he knew what he was saying wasn't utterly true. He was just mad at Sirius. And perhaps a bit more..

James winced "So it didn't go well...?" He asked, frownining. "Well, look, I don't want to pry but what exactly happened? I though Sirius'd be straight with you- like tell you what he felt? How did he play with you're emotions..!?"
He scowled at Sirius... It was one thing to mess around with girls heads- but to thier best mate? Not so good...

Remus sighed, before explaining. "Told me he didn't have any feelings for me. Told me he was in love with Sadie. But then kisses me," Again, Remus sighed, eyes closing. "Personally I call that toying with someone's emotions. I was quite happy to admit that he had no feelings for me. I was all right. A little hurt, but all right. But then to kiss me makes me hurt a whole lot worse."

Sadie rolled her eyes at the note she held in her hand as she climbed the many steps leading towards the owlery. When she spotted James and Remus she was a little suprised. "Hi guys.." she greeted her friends as her now better behaved owl Jupiter perched himself upon her shoulder and rubbed against her cheek. She giggled softly whilst handing him an owl treat so she could tie the letter to his leg. "So, is this like a secret meeting or something? I can't bel- Hey, Remus? Have you been crying?" she asked frowning.

Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.
Sadie just /had/ to walk in on them, didn't she? But, as she asked the question, Remus knew he couldn't lie. "Yes," Remus sighed softly, amber eyes downcast, not watching Sadie at all. If he met her eyes he'd feel guilty. "Yes, I have, Sadie."

As soon as Jupiter had flown off out of the window Sadie turned to Remus. "Why have you been crying, if it was that Tobias bloke I'll punch his lights out. Or hex him into oblivion. I'll let you choose.."

"No reason, Sadie," Remus muttered. He wasn't about to rat on Sirius to Sirius' girlfriend. It'd only ruin the relationship they'd just fixed. "And nothing to do with Tobias. So don't worry." He added quickly, not wanting to get /anyone/ in trouble.

Sadie sighed softly. "Alright Remus, but whoever or whatever made you cry, don't let them or it get you down in the future. OK? Because if they or it makes you cry the person or thing is not worth it.."

He stared at her. She didn't even realise. "Sadie.. Maybe you should know /why/ I was crying, and /who/ made me cry." Remus sighed. He didn't want to do this, but he thought maybe she should know. "If you don't want to hear, I won't say it, though."

Sadie looked up at Remus from the bird perched on her shoulder named Mr. Tiddles. "How do I know if I don't want to hear it if I don't know who you're talking about and why they made you cry. Anyway, go on.." she babbled stroking the owl's feathers.

He paused, suddenly unsure. "Uhmm.." Remus trailed off, swallowing. "/Sirius/ was the person." He couldn't bring himself to tell Sadie why. But if she pressed, then he'd have to. He suddenly felt guilty. What if he was tearing them apart like Regulus had supposedly had done? Remus sighed.

"What has he done now? I told him to be more sensitive and think about stuff. Did he like put frogs in your bed or something? Because I will go beat the crap out of him."
