Since I got my wedding present early, it's only fair I give you yours now. And it's a holiday and Harry's here, so that makes it a special occasion, and therefore I am perfectly justified in spoiling you, I say.

I remember the first time I ever went flying with you. It wasn't on a broom. It was on this loud Muggle contraption you swiped from a junkyard over the summer of our fifth year. You were so proud of that wretched thing, hiding it at the Shack and cleaning it up and enchanting it so that it could fly. It was only fitting that one-in-a-million Black would have a one-in-a-million machine - no one else had a flying motorbike.

I was very sad to see her go.

So I'm giving her back.

It's her, too. Or, what was left of her after that incident last year with the Whomping Willow. I found some more parts through Muggle catalogues and (with Harry's help though he had no idea what I was up to) the Internet. I'm afraid I don't know much about 1951 Triumphs, but I think I got her back together all right. I'm sure if there's anything wrong with her you'll get her properly sorted out in no time.

Happy Easter, love.

Yours,
Remus

Remus, I... I don't know what to say. I'm completely speechless.

No, actually I'm not. How did you manage this? it must have taken ages! I mean... it's fitted with a 1952 motor. Has the uprated crank with shell bearings. That's even better than the original motor!

I can't wait until you're well enough to ride with me.

Is it all right if I take Harry for a spin on it?

I've said it before. I'm the luckiest man in the world.

Love you.

Heh. You? Speechless? A likely story.

So... you like it? I'm glad - I didn't know if you'd be all right with me rebuilding your baby. I couldn't salvage the motor, but I'm relieved that the one I could find is okay. The hardest part was keeping it from you! I had to tell you that closet in my office was full of spiders to keep you out of it.

Don't wait on me. Take Harry. He's positively twitching over there. Go now, before the boy explodes.

Love you back. Why isn't it May, yet?

Why aren't you well yet? So I can thank you properly?

If you're sure, then... Harry and I will be back in a while. Can we bring you anything?

I don't deserve you. Feel free to disagree.

We'll see how I feel later. I managed to walk across the room and fetch a book earlier. I've always been a fast healer.

If you don't mind, ask Harry if he's willing to maybe nip into a Muggle shop and pick up some Easter sweets? I would love a couple of Cadbury Creme Eggs, and you can't bloody get them in our world. There's Muggle money in my desk in the library.

I disagree. And say that again and I shall hex you.

Have fun.

You'll have more creme eggs than you could ever eat, my love.

Rest up, and perhaps you can enjoy your own present again soon.
