Prongs and I came through again. While Moony was busy chatting with Lily, he and I snuck out the back door and executed our plan of attack. What can I say? We're brilliant.

Now, some of you may tease me and Moony for taking a break from our Honeymoon to come back home for a holiday that is rather...shall we say immature? but it was worth it. So it wasn't officially Auror business to egg Malfoy Manor...but enough people would have wanted to do it anyway. Actually, it looked like it had already been hit before we even arrived. We just made the job more spectacular...you know, with multi-colored egg yolk that won't wash off for a month...

Well, well, well. So I've finally crawled out of bed today, leaving Moony still sleeping. He's so beautiful when he sleeps. He looks so peaceful.

It's hard to believe we're actually married now, because nothing has really changed...well, save that we're wearing rings and I have time off of work. Considering the hour of day and the fact that I just got up, I'm sure you can all infer exactly what has been going on. But what do you expect? We're newlyweds! And both of us are virile young men, might I add.

Can't wait till Halloween. Potter and I have plans... Plans we don't intend to tell our spouses about...though I'm sure they'll find out anyway. If I can just keep it under wraps for another few days...just a few days...

Less Than a Month

Less than a month till Moony and I are getting married. Hard to believe, as I look at my calendar. I don't know what to think. I'm nervous as hell, which is, of course pointless. Remus and I are just short of married as it is now.

Tonks, you'll get more interested in the idea of sex as you get older, I promise. And don't tell your mum that I said that. If you have any questions on that sort of thing, know you can always come to me, okay? Would probably be easier on you than going to your mother about it or something. That would be akward. Your mum may have taught me a lot about sex, (like I'm sure you wanted to know that) but I don't think she wants to be teaching you.

I digress. Back travelling the world of course, but I'll be back in time for the wedding.

Paperwork

I may have five papercuts on my hands, but at least I'm happily ensconced in my office where I do actually get to go home at five and see my beautiful Remus. My beautiful Remus who will be my husband next month. Hard to believe, but it makes me so insanely happy.

I suppose I need to focus on that aspect of October and not the increased Dark activity. Oh well, every rose has its thorns, every good month has its bad days. I just hope we all survive those bad days. Remus will kill me if I die before our wedding.

I'm home for the weekend! Yes, I, Sirius Black, have been given a weekend off! Things are pretty slow right now, though we suspect it won't stay that way for long. Last year the Death Eaters got more active around Halloween, and this October approaches.

Moony and I had a lovely evening last night. Candles, oils and lots of passionate sex. Lots and lots and lots of it. Then some more this morning. And there will be more again in a few moments, judging by the way he's eyeing me. Not that I mind!

Yes, it's good to be home.

And Tonks, congratualtions here as well and I'll send you a gift soon to celebrate your being sorted into the best house in the school. Don't stay out of trouble...just don't get caught!

So here I'm sitting in a training session, or at least that's what Moody is calling it. He called a meeting for all the Aurors that could come to discuss some new curses the Death Eaters have come up with. However, as he kept me here late last night ranting about them for about three hours I already know everything he's saying, though I'm keeping an ear on the proceedings.

Mostly I'm just excited about my marriage, and James and Lily's upcoming wedding. I'm worried about Peter, who is around even less than I am. I'm worried about Moony, who doesn't seem to be dealing with the stress I'm going through even as well as I am, and I'm worried about Tonks and her generation who deserve so much better than to grow up in a war torn and dangerous environment where most of their elders have already given up hope.

I refuse to give up though. We've always come through with our plans before, and I see no reason we won't all succeed now. Not with me and Prongs on the front lines, Moony and Lily as our backup and Moody heading the charge with Dumbledore. No, we'll win.

I'm just worried about the price we'll have to pay.

Home Again

music: ah, the sound of paperwork...bliss...
It's nice to be home again. Well, sort of home. Meaning I've been back in the office and not running all around the world. A few of the Auror's that normally do field work have recovered from their injuries and Moody was quick to shove me back in my office. Not that I minded!

I'll be getting a week off for a Honeymoon as soon as the date is set, because I told Moody flat out that I didn't give a shyte if he refused, I was going anyway. He seemed completely stunned that anyone would dare talk to him that way, and all he said was, "Just tell me when you're going as soon as you know." Ha! Sirius Black strikes again!

Lily, Prongs, Wormtail...where are you guys? Need to start hearing from you more than the occasional owl!

Well, I did stop home on Thursday like I promised Remus and we had us a little talk. Got very emotional there, let me tell you. We were both crying like we were never going to see each other again, which is certainly not going to happen.

You see, Moony decided that he would really rather enjoy getting married. Yes, married. And I agreed that it was a bloody brilliant idea. So laugh all you want. Sirius Black, bachelor extraordinare is getting married to Remus Lupin this October.

We probably would have set the date sooner, as we'd love to get married as soon as possible due to the uncertain nature of our futures, but Moony mentioned that it would take a while to get everything arranged and we both love October. No exact date has been set yet, but we'll be sure to owl you all once we've got one arranged.

Back to work now...

Good Weekend

Had a smashing weekend, as I predicted. I didn't get to see Prongs or Lily, which was very disappointing, but Moony and I had a good time making up for lost time, if you catch my meaning.

Seeing my dear cousin Tonks was refreshing as well, though seeing her abilities.... was disconcerting to say the least. She's very talented, that's for sure! Seeing Snivellus' ugly face topping my cousins young, female body clad in only the hippest clothing was most amusing. And I think it will give me nightmares for weeks.

Perhaps I should watch my mouth more around her, since she's now taking to swearing without even meaning to. Nah...she's old enough to handle it.

Work has been fairly calm the last two days. Why do I think this lull won't last?

Okay, I am getting this weekend off, and that's final! Technically I shouldn't even be doing field work! And certainly not this much of it!

I'm coming home whenever Friday, and I don't just mean from the office. I haven't been home. I'm not home right now. I'm using a computer in a cyber cafe somewhere in Germany, of all places. No more details here. Haven't been home for a few days, and miss Moony terribly. But I'm coming home Friday, possibly late. Then I am going to see Tonks.

Sunday, I'd love to have a get together with Prongs, Lily and Peter, if we can all manage. I think we could all use a nice party to help us forget all the shyte we're dealing with. So, owl me if you can come, or owl me if you can't. Just owl me as I haven't heard from most of you for a very long time. Hope you're all as well as can be expected.

I am still alive and kicking, though I spend most of my free time sleeping. Sorry bout that, Moony luv. You know how much overtime I've been putting in.

I've been out in the field every day save one since my last post. Oh yes, once they've decided you're ready, they really throw you into it. Had five near brushes with death in the last week. Am not pleased, not pleased at all. And most of the time I get back to the office shaken up from said close encounter and then Moody takes me to task for not doing better! Honestly! There's only so much a bloke can focus on at one time!

Moony is in a right state because of all of this. When I get home he pampers me, fusses over me, curses Moody, the Death Eaters and everything else that he can possibly think of (up to and including my mother, Fate, bunnies and the state of today's youth). Then he drags me to bed and latches on to me so tightly sometimes I fear I won't be able to breathe.

I love him, and I hate to put him through all this. I don't know what I'm going to do...

mood: aggravated
music: paperwork
Yes, after this lovely last week or so, where I was in constant danger, I am still kept at work late today! I'm tired, sore, shaken up and still sitting at my desk.

I spent a good deal of the day with Moody, answering his questions about all I saw while on duty. As if I really wanted to relive seeing a few co-workers fall over dead. Then, I was passed on to another individual who asked questions, and another, and another.

When I return to my office, there's a huge stack of paperwork. all on the same bloody topic. And I'm not allowed to go home until it's all finished and filed away where it needs to be filed!

Why am I taking the time to rant here? Just needed a break. My hands are hurting from writing with a quill so bloody long.

Sometimes, I really hate this job.

music: Moony trying not to cry again in the kitchen
Well, just like my dear cousin Tonks, I too have not updated because I was out of the country. Just not lucky enough for it to have been a vacation.

On Tuesday there were a series of attacks that left a great number of Aurors incapacitated. (read, dead or hospitalized) The attacks were still going on, but there was no one to take care of them. So, a few of the more promising and skilled desk Aurors were called out into the field for the first time. Guess who was one of them.

Let's just say that until you've been in the field, you can have no idea what it's really like. You can think you're ready, but you will not be ready in truth until you've actually faced it, and then you just have to hope you're lucky enough to survive it.

When I arrived the curses were flying fast and furious from both sides. I'm glad hexing Slytherins had become a reflex with me during my school years or I likely wouldn't be here to type this out now. I'd be in St. Mungo's or worse.

After several gruelling days of fighting, then capturing and all that good stuff, there was a literal ton of paperwork I got to do. I've only now gotten home.

Moony was so glad to see me, he just hung onto me for ages, crying on my shoulder. Now he's in the kitchen making me a very, very late dinner as I haven't eaten all day. Then I get to spend all of tomorrow being pampered by my wonderful lover and on Monday it's back in to the office.

Can't ever say my job is boring, at least.

Monday

mood: depressed
music: Moody screaming at someone down the hall
I hate Monday's. Not only are they the start of the bloody week, but..well, they're the start of the bloody week. That's enough reason to hate them. Another five days of late nights, not seeing Moony enough, lots of stress, paperwork and tension in the air as the feeling of imminent doom draws closer. Not pleasant at all. Just wish I were allowed out into the field! If I could fight this myself, I would feel better! I mean, I trust the other Aurors to do their job...buuuuut.....l

Anyway, the weekend was excellent. Remus and I spent most of our time in the hotel room, in the bed. Or the tub. Or any flat or mostly flat surface. I'll leave it at that as I've already managed to traumatize Prongs and don't need to do so again immediately.

On Sunday we did finally manage to drag ourselves out of the room and go sight seeing. Remus really enjoyed looking at the ancient architecture, but that had been the point. It was bloody impressive. I hope that some day I have a memorial left behind that people will see in years to come and say, "That was made by Sirius Black. Goofy bloke, but bloody brilliant" We all have our dreams!

Now I should get back to work. Beware the paper cuts!

Vacation!

mood: bouncy
music: Remus drawing a bath
Got home early yesterday and Moony didn't even moleste me! Guess he just wanted to go as soon as possible, lest Moody change his mind and call me back in. Currently we are in Rome. Why? Architecture and history, of course! See, we're the cultured Marauders. Okay, okay...only Moony. But you get my meaning.

At least those were our reasons for coming here...but we'd have to get out of bed to actually see the sights, and it seems that Remus has decided that bed is much more pleasant. Not that I'm going to argue with him!

We have a nice view out our window at least.... Thank Merlin for room service!

Just wanted to briefly post so everyone would know we're still alive and kicking. Though I'm starting to wonder about all of you! Hello out there!

Sitting here at work doing paperwork again. So easy to bloody file this crap, you know? If Moody thinks he's giving me a break in repayment for covering that press conference, he's got another thing coming! I'd rather be worked to death than face another pile of paperwork! Papercuts are lethal!

So my mind has been wandering. I don't know where to vacation with Remus. Japan? Spain? France like Prongs and Lils? Germany? Austria? Italy? Greece? Rome? This is a rather large world, though having the ability to Apparate makes it a bit smaller when you want it to be. Remus, some input! Please luv!

I think I'll be getting off work on time tonight as none of this paperwork is vital or anything. The tension in the air is mounting over the disappearances.

I'm still sulking that we couldn't make that Quidditch match last night because of working late. Rather wanted to go, just because. I may be in love with a man, but I'm still a man myself, meaning I love sports! Well, Quidditch.

James, Moony, Pete...we need to get together and play a game of Quidditch sometime soon, what do you all think? It's been a while since I've done any flying. (on my broom anyway)

Finally got home from work. Not too terribly late tonight, so I'm in a decent mood. A few wizards have vanished and are feared to be dead. Obviously the Ministry is working on those cases at the moment and things are getting tense again.

Am very much looking forward to my vacation with Moony this weekend. Don't know where we're going, but it doesn't really matter. Just away from England sounds good to me!

Also, thought I should mention to James, Lily and Pete (if he reads this at all) that Monty Python and the Holy Grail is having a matinee showing at that nearby theater, followed by the premiere of Life of Brian. Yes, they've come up with another one. I'm going with Moony, and was wondering if you guys wanted to join us. Tonks, you're invited too. And Professor, if you wish to accompany us, it should be fun. That's in two weeks. I'm already counting down the days. Love it!

Now for my victory. I have effectivly damaged James for life. There was nothing else I wanted to accomplish in my life. Go me. Time to go have celebratory sex with Moony.

Guess where I am right now. No, you'll have to wait.

i'm in gryffindor!

be sorted @ nimbo.net


Well, duh.

Talked to Moody today. Am getting off work early Friday and taking Moony on a weekend trip. Just don't know where we're going to go, but it doesn't really matter as Moony will be there.

Andromeda is a fantastic cook. I'll hang out with Tonks anytime if Andromeda is going to cook for me. (Not that I wouldn't hang out with Tonks anyway-love my cousin!) Moony is a wonderful cook as well. I think I'm going to get fat.

I was only a little late home from work today, and all I did all day was paperwork. This works well for me as I didn't have to deal with a crisis, or the press or both like I did last week. I can do paperwork. Hell, sometimes I even enjoy it. (mostly because I hate the press)

Now, to answer that first comment. Where am I?

I'm naked in my bed. Remus is getting whipped cream in the other room. I just had a mind blowing orgasm because my darling and beautiful boyfriend gave me the most amazing blow job of my life. How's that for too much information, Prongs?

Professor, Lily and Tonks: I'm sorry you had to see this. You can forget you ever read the above paragraph if you so wish. However, if you enjoy the mental images that come to mind, don't be shy about telling me. I can tell you stories.

Tonks: Don't tell your mother I post stuff like that where anyone, including you, can see it. Thanks.

We got doughnuts earlier today and I'm currently up munching on the leftovers. What a weekend!

The Monty Python marathon was hysterical. Haven't laughed that hard in a long time, but what can I say. The men are brilliant! Lily and Prongs were all over each other, but so were Moony and I. It was a rather nice little double date. I do hope you're having a good vacation, Prongs, Lils.

Saturday I picked Tonks up and let her drive my bike. She may be a bit of a clutz on foot, but she's a natural at driving! I only hid my eyes twice when we got a bit close to some trees. Not bad at all for a first attempt.

Then we went back to the flat and stayed up all night, as she mentioned in her journal. Yes, his nose is that big. And yes, we're brilliant with our pranks. I do hope you learned a good deal from us this weekend, Tonks.

Moony and I slept in late the next morning, then we all went shopping at Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade. My dear cousin is all set for Hogwarts, that's for sure. She may not have everything she needs for class, but she has her prank gear. All at a reasonable price. Huzzah for frequent shopper discounts.

Took her home this evening, then Moony and I had a quiet dinner and fell into bed. I'm feeling so old! But now I'm up...and apparently so is he. Hmm...the possiblities are endless....

Finally it's the weekend! I told Moody that if anyone attempted to call me into work this weekend they would recieve a Howler they should really hope doesn't find them if their children are around. I'm busy all weekend, even if it is just sitting on my arse.

I snuck out at five (on time!) today, though I'm not sure I was supposed to go yet. Bugger that. Tonight is a Monty Python marathon on the Muggle-vision, and there is no way I'm missing that! Starts at seven. Prongs, if you read this, come over with Lily and we can have a few beers and giggle like idiots. What do ya say?

Course, before that starts I'm getting in some quality time with my dear Moony. Dinner and then..well... Dessert.

Tomorrow I'm seeing my awesome cousin, Tonks and taking her riding on my bike. Remus gets to talk more with her mum about those books he found. This is between me and her. Cousin bonding time and all that. Then we get fed good food by Andromeda and then we take Tonks home with us. This works well as Remus now shares my room so I still have that guest room.

We'll stay up goofing off all night, then I'm taking her shopping for her first year of school. Prank supplies, here we come! From there, I'm taking her home sometime Sunday, and then more quality time with Moony. Hell, I'm in the best mood I've bloody been in for ages! This weekend is going to be great! And then Remus and I are taking a weekend trip sometime soon...That will be more fun than should be legal.

Signing off for now!
