Post Its

Whenever James or Lily left the house for a mission without the other (which was pretty frequent) he or she would write a post it note and stick it to the ceiling or the wall. And then eventually, they just began to write random, cute things everyday, jotting down memories and putting them up so that they could reminisce about these days when they were older.

Funny quotes, little jokes, dreams, sayings, cute doodles, random thoughts, just like, anything. And soon enough the walls, ceiling, the headboard of the bed, everything was completely covered with cute post it notes.

And one day, after that fateful 31st October, Remus was forced to come and sort through his dead friends' things. He saw all the post its, the ones he had read, ones he hadn't; all so cute and normal, no thought of the Dark War, of Voldemort even touching those notes.

He went through every single one of them, laughing, crying, hoping there were more, because after a long, long time he felt like he had two of his best friends close to him again.

"Wear that yellow dress tonight, Lils. We'll hit the headlines of the Daily Prophet as the hottest and cutest couple ever."

"What was I even thinking, rejecting you for five years? You're such a gentleman!"

"Kissing James Potter 12,000 times a day, keeps his cockiness away."

"I love your laugh more than I love Firewhiskey and that's saying a lot." 

And the last few notes, dated 31st October, 1981

"ITS HALLOWEEN!!! Mumma and her baby boy will scare you by dressing up tonight. What are you most scared of James?"

"You in a sexy outfit and Harry in cute baby clothes."

"Get ready for the best Halloween ever !!!"

And Remus found himself crying, sobbing and shaking because, Merlin, all his friends were gone and he was alone, again, in a world where he was an outcast.
