Wed Evening, around 9pm

Harry,
After I left you, I ran into my...friend...outside. He has this cat that always gets away from him. Anyway. Our talk made me decide to just follow my instincts, play it by ear. Which I did. Things seemed to be going well, we were talking as usual. And I just couldn't help it.
I kissed him. Just a tiny kiss. He looked at me with wonder and asked if I'd meant it. I told him I did, that I had feelings for him beyond friendship, and he replied that he felt more than friendly to me, also.
We talked a while more, kissed a few times, then I walked him back to the castle. I think this could work out. But even if not, it will have been worth it.
I wanted to tell you because you helped me with our talk, and because since you know about it, I figured I should at least let you know that it worked out.
I don't know how we'll handle it. We've a lot of difficulties inherent in our situation. He's a student, I'm a professor...He's a pureblood Slytherin and I'm a mudblood werewolf...his family would want to kill me, and I doubt I'd be fond of them, either. But, I believe feeling this way about someone and having them return it makes it worth it. I won't live without love in my life just because it might be dangerous.
I'm very happy. You, Albus, and him are all the family I need. Thank you for being there for me.
Remus
