Accio Proof!

James's owl goes across all over England and arrives in Scotland the day after. Leaves the letter at Hogwarts and when it's time for bed, Remus lays back on the bed. He puts aside the mountain of books - those that he is rereading, those that are pending to read, those that are finished- and he concentrates on Sirius's parchment, trying to read slowly so as not tofinish too fast. That is fucking hard.

"Moony:

Potter Junior and I are going to London for the weekend. Exam of Apparition on Friday and the Quidditch final on Saturday. There is a place in the Diagon Alley to see it. They have huge crystal balls and it will be a Mythical opportunity to see England lose again to Pakistan. Again. There will be alcohol, there will be drugs and I have promised myself to get a tattoo and try to get some bearded prostitute to deflower poor James. Don't you think Lily would find it that much more irresistible if she finds out that she got "God Save the Queen" tattooed on her ass? Do not answer, we both know it does. I know that women and you love asses.

Or so they say.

I was thinking about that good boy face you have, Lupin. You do your homework and there are no spelling mistakes on your scrolls and Dumbledore will give you a medal one of these days. But good children are good, and it's not okay, it's not okay to tell a guy who lives in a fuckingtent that you miss all the time and even for things you haven't done with him. There have been lasses who have been called fucking cock warmers for less than that. So, if you want me to believe you, like really you want me to believe you when you claim to miss me, give me details and maybe your wishes will be fulfilled when the course starts. I already have seen the good boy. But you said there was a wolf underneath. Prove it.

Padfoot

Ps: What the hell. Someone has to tell you. You are a fucking cock warmer Lupin".

He knows Sirius's excessive handwriting by heart. He leans towards the left, goes down and up in pulses. The L's seem about to explode as if they were inflated and the G's fall on impossible slopes, strong and full of character. It may be because of that wild energy that he gives off his letters so Remus feels dizzy when he reads.

"I've already seen the good boy. But you said there was a wolf underneath. PROVE IT."

It may not be the calligraphy, but his words make him dizzy. All his life, from the age of five, Remus has kept the beast under seven keys. He would do anything for Sirius and all he asks of him is that he lets the inner animal loosen itself. He doesn't know if he can give him that. He doesn't know if he is aware of what he is asking. If Sirius understands to what extent his blood boils and his bones melt just thinking about it.

He balances the quill between his fingers. It weighs more than normal. Supports the parchment on his bent knees. It is light, weightless. But when he begins to write, a decision that has no turning back passes from the quill to ink and from ink to parchment, which is filled with weight until his knees get sleepy numb.

What the heck, maybe opening his heart to Sirius is an act of courage, but Remus Lupin is a Gryffindor and he will honor his house even shaking.
