"Lie low at Lupin's."
In a proper home for the first time since he was 21, Sirius Black writes letters to all his friends the night of Voldemort's return. Remus goes out and places the letter on each tombstone and a small, empty cottage where Remus...

Dear Frankie,
What amazes me is how you managed to deal with the 4 of us throughout school! Like we drove you up the bloody wall and yet you never once went and complained to Minnie. Maybe you secretly enjoyed our pranks after all. Or you were too shy to find other friends, okay please don't throw your shoe at me again, that shit would hurt especially cause yours had those god-awful little heels so you'd be a bit taller.
You, Frank, are so fucking brave. I heard what happened to you and Al and how those vile people I'm unfortunately related to did it. I suppose I should apologise for that but you know what, I'm gonna make them pay. Bella, no, the Lestranges I promise you I'll make them pay for what they did. At least you have Alice for company, always knew you two would end up together. All thanks to me of course. If I hadn't stopped flirting with her you would've had no chance (okay I'm kidding don't hex me with some weird plant thing again).
Remus' met your son and even I saw a brief glimpse of him when I snuck in Gryffindor Tower. Neville looks just like Ali, the same face structure, the same hair with slight curls at the end, but his handwriting's like yours, bloody pristine. He sleeps exactly like you would too, sprawled across the bed and un-moving. I kinda feel bad for putting him in trouble with Minnie but then again, if we'd been able to spend time with our boys they'd get into some sort of mess anyway. Apparently he has the unfortunate Fortescue memory from what Remus and Harry have told me. Yeah, James' boy Harry and him are friends, no surprises there. Your son also happens to have both his parents' wicked sense of skill but the poor kid's a little shy and stupid slime-ball Snivelly bullies him. I'll punch him from you for that later.
We miss you Frank, not the super famous Auror, well maybe that bit of you too cause you'd save our bums from imminent danger, but the goofy kid we'd have pillow fights with. The one we helped prepare for his proposal to the girl of his dreams. You asked Remus to marry you at least 10 times before you got it right and honestly I expected it to take even longer so, well done. Maybe this is a good thing for you, you're getting a break from all the times we just about wrecked your life? Oh who am I kidding this sucks and I'm sorry. You did not deserve that. No one does, but least of all you and Al, the purest, sweetest people I know.
Miss ya,
Your mate,
Sirius.
A/N: Final two chapters to go and I'm gonna miss this book so much. We're back to the daily chapters btw, I took a break so I could research a little about Dorcas and Mary and gather enough tiny nuggets to piece a letter. I always thought that Frank was just as chaotic as these 4 but he was lawful while they were reckless and being the lovely friend and pure bean that he was, he'd often save them if they got into serious trouble with one of their pranks backfiring or tending to Remus after a full moon (he figured it out in 1st year itself but didn't say anything and researched on treatments. For all of first year, he'd anonymously drop into the hospital wing and drop by chocolate for him). Next up is possibly the only sane person in this group of maniacs, Alice Longbottom!
