First, see my last post for new and additional flail, for post arrived for me today from my wonderful sender, morebliss, to accompany the emails of Thursday. I am all a-squee!

I was assigned opheliet, who listed James/Lily and Remus/Sirius in her requests, so I thought I'd do both! You can see her post, with pictures and such, here, but now I shall rework those into a more digital form.

Yours
James/Lily, Remus/Sirius, PG
Love sent and received. 14th February, 1980.

(Finally, a tasteful card - aren't you proud? I freely confess Remus helped me, though. The question is, how worried should I be about that?)

My dearest Lily,

I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have you in my life. You're brave and smart and beautiful - I'm lucky just to know you. Thank you for everything that you do. I can't wait to meet our child, and start sharing our life with them.

Hopelessly, always yours,
James

Dear Sirius,
Hope your trip went well. I'm probably going to be away when you get back, I'm afraid. Not sure how long I'll be, don't think there'll be owls around. Sorry.

There's some shepherd's pie in the fridge - Lily brought it over, doesn't seem to think I can look after myself. Am I really that bad a cook? I know there was that one time with the food poisoning, but that was ages ago! Anyway, it's very nice. So enjoy. Plenty of beer left too - well, unless I decide to drink it all tonight so I can finally get some sleep. Stupid dormitory mentality, I still don't sleep very much when you're not around.

Steve dropped round the other day- some hideously technical motorbike question for you, I can't begin to remember. I said you'd Floo him when you get back, so don't forget. I take it you heard about the Prewetts. If you're home in time for the funeral, please send my condolences. I wish I could be there.

I really hope you're all right - can't you get in touch somehow? Sorry, that's not helpful, I know.

I'm quite looking forward to going away, I suppose - I'll be with Frank, anyway, so that should be nice. I'm sure I'll hear lots about their upcoming offspring! By the way, Lily is positively glowing now, it's pretty amazing.

May I be horribly sentimental for a moment? I know you think Valentine's Day is a capitalist exploitation of conventional values, and I do agree with you. Only, it's late, and I miss you so much it's embarrassing, and by the time the 14th rolls around I won't have seen you in bloody ages, so I don't care.

Happy Valentine's Day. Go and celebrate it by trying to disrupt James' romantic plans if you like, but all the same.

I love you.

See you soon,
Remus.
