Sirius: good morning my remus

 

Remus: It is 6 in the morning

 

Remus: I hope you have a good reason for texting me at this ungodly hour

 

Sirius: wow no good morning back? I’m greatly offended

 

Remus: It is basically still night time, not morning

 

Sirius: not a morning person?

 

Remus: Absolutely not

 

Remus: What do you want

 

Sirius: can I not say good morning to my friend?

 

Remus: Not at 6 in the morning

 

Sirius: technically it is 7am

 

Remus: Go. Away.

 

 

(11:36am)

 

 

 

Sirius: am I cleared to talk now?

 

Remus: cleared

 

Sirius: thank god, don’t know how I could get through chem without my favorite person to text

 

Remus: We literally met yesterday

 

Sirius: to be fair you don’t have many other competitors for the spot

 

Sirius: the only other people I text are the people I go to school with

 

Remus: So you’re saying I won by default? Ouch

 

Sirius: well also you’re fun to text

 

Sirius: James and Alice are your only real competitors for the spot, but you still won

 

Remus: Im so flattered

 

Remus: May I ask who is James? We’ve exchanged like twenty messages and you’ve mentioned him four times

 

Sirius: actually 86 texts, this is the 87th

 

Remus: You really counted every text to prove me wrong?

 

Sirius: yes, 88

 

Sirius: and to answer your question, James is my best friend, basically my brother because when my family kicked me out of the house James’ family took me in and now I live with them. 

 

Remus: Oh that’s nice, sorry about your family

 

Sirius: nah its alright, I never got along with them very well in the first place and I got kicked out 3 years ago already so I’m used to it now

 

Remus: Thats really nice

 

Remus: I sometimes wish I had a James in my life though, tbh I don’t have that many close friends

 

Remus: Sorry didn’t mean to get all sappy and trauma dump

 

Sirius: I don’t mind

 

Sirius: well then ill be your first close friend

 

Remus: What seriously? We’ve only known each other for a day 

 

Sirius: siriusly, I don’t believe in the concept of time when it comes to friendship

 

Sirius: I believe if you have a strong enough bond with someone it doesn’t matter how long you’ve known them for

 

Remus: As long as you guys don’t adopt me its cool :)

 

Remus: Sorry I gotta go, I’ve got English and you know about my professor lol

 

Sirius: ok, talk to you later:)

 

Remus: Talk to you later sirius

(11:01pm)

 

 

 

Remus: Lily are you awake?

 

Lily: Always

 

Remus: Okay good

 

Remus: I need help

 

Lily: Remus Lupin asking for help? Who are you and what have you done with my friend

 

Remus: Haha :l

 

Remus: Okay but seriously, I met this guy and he’s super cool and my exact type

 

Lily: You’ve found one!!!!!!!!!!

 

Remus: Easy Lils

 

Remus: So I was texting him a couple hours ago and I gave him a description of me saying, “Tall and scrawny, tan-ish, brown curly hair, freckles, and I’m always wearing grandpa sweaters” and he said he had to take a lap because of it

 

Remus: So I asked him why he needed to take a lap if I called myself scrawny, and he said, I quote, “you don’t know what I like”

 

Remus: Lils I need help does this mean he likes me?!?

 

Lily: Well, do you want him to like you?

 

Remus: I mean, yes, I think. I’ve only known him for two days but we’ve gotten closer than I have with any of my other friends

 

Lily: Hey!

 

Remus: Apart from you

 

Lily: I’m gonna be honest, I don’t know this guy, but if I got a text saying that, I would assume that person would like me.

 

Lily: Remus you okay?

 

Remus: Yeah just thinking very hard

 

Remus: Night Lily thank you you’re the best

 

Lily: I know I am, night Remus <3
