Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Prompt: A letter

Remus slowly climbed the steps up to Sirius' room in the Black house. Stepping into the room he closed the door, his hand resting on the doorknob as he rested his forehead against the wood wearily. Sirius was dead. Sirius was dead. Dead.

His hand dropped away from the doorknob and he turned taking in the sight of the room. It was typical Sirius; clothes and papers strewn about, books opened to a random page, the bed unmade. Remus' heart gave a painful thud.

Gray eyes closed longer than a blink took to keep the tears at bay. His eyes burned. Finally he pushed himself away from the door and moved to the desk in the corner. It took a moment but he eventually found a piece of scrap parchment.

"Lumos maxima," he murmured sitting his wand on the shelf of the desk so that it casts its light over the parchment. Picking up the lone quill on the desk Remus dips it in the ink and then stares at the parchment. The tears come and he bows his head, covering his eyes. His hand moves on its own.

Dear Sirius,

You lied.

You said that the next time you went away you'd take me with you. Now you're dead and I'm not with you. I want to be.

Why did you lie?

Why didn't you take me with you?

Love, Remus
