Explanations
Sirius sat up in his bed. He was thinking about the letter and what would James think if he found it. “He'd probably think I led her on, being the attractive guy I am," he added to himself, with a smirk. He looked at the clock on the nightstand next to him. It said 03:54. "Man," Sirius thought. "I missed my midnight snack."
He clambered out of bed and walked down to James's room. After looking around the door and realizing that he was asleep, he snuck in and took a box from under his bed. It was all of James's love letters to Lily which he never actually managed to send.
Sirius picked up the top letter and opened it to read
Dearest Lily flower
I've been trying so hard to find a way to tell you how I feel without you hating me even more. I've tried a hundred different ways and this is the best I could think off. I love you; I mean I REALLY love you. And even now while I'm writing this, I realize how stupid it must sound. I couldn't think of a better way to put it, so here it is, my heart's on my sleeve, so to speak. Please write back even if it's to tell me to piss off.
Yours always with eternal love,
James

Sirius put down the letter and looked up at a snoring James. "James, mate, when will you ever learn?" He put the letter back and went back to his room. At the window, he saw a dot in the sky flying towards his window. The owl flew in and dropped a letter at Sirius's feet. Sirius picked up the letter and read it.
Sirius
I know you probably won't get this until the morning but I thought that if I sent it now there may be the slightest chance that you're awake and away from prying eyes. I would like you to talk to James for me, and encourage him to keep trying with Lily. She DOES like him, even though she may pretend not to. Please don't let James give up on her. She has always been hurt by her feelings before, that's why she doesn't show her feelings.
Please regard this letter as one of great importance.
Morag
Sirius looked at the letter, "Oh my god," he thought. "If this is what Morag says, then it has to be true. But why would Lily send me a letter like that if she didn't mean it? Urgh, I'll never understand women!"
"Mrs. Potter, it's wonderful to see you again!" Remus said.
"Remus Lupin, I am telling you what I told Mr. Black, call me Marie!"
"Ok then. Marie, it's wonderful to see you again."
"They are upstairs in Sirius's room," said Mrs. Potter, gesturing towards Sirius' room.
Remus thanked Mrs. Potter and went up to Sirius's room.
"He's totally refusing to talk to any one. He won't even come out for Honeydukes chocolate. There must be something wrong," James said, as Remus entered the room.
"I'll get him out," Remus offered.
"Sirius, go get the stick, go on boy! Go on! Go get it! There's a good boy! Atta boy!" He sounded like he was talking to a dog.
Sirius climbed out of the bed, put his dressing gown on and said, "Sorry, James I can't stay here anymore; not after the two letters I got in one day."
"Sirius, what are you talking about?" James asked. Sirius, however, just apparated away.
"I'll go after him. I'm allowed to apparate."
"Sirius Black! You had better tell me what is going on that itsy bitsy brain of yours NOW!"
"Remus, just look at these letters. The first one is from Lily confessing her love for me and the second is from Morag telling me to tell James not to lose hope in Lily because she really does like him, and that is way too much information for my itsy bitsy brain to take in a day."
"Wow," Remus said, surprised
"Yeah wow. Now I either have to tell James, my best friend, that the girl he loves likes his best friend so he loses all hope on her. Then she turns round and asks him why he's given up on her. When she finally decides to give him a chance, he kills me or I tell him that she fancies him when she doesn't and he kills me anyway."
Remus stared at him wide-eyed and grabbed the letter. "Let me see that!"
He looked at the letter and looked at Sirius. "This isn't Lily's writing!" he exclaimed.
"It has Lily's signature on it."
"That doesn't necessarily mean Lily wrote it. The writing does look familiar. I think I have seen it somewhere before."
"It would help if I knew where." Sirius quipped.
"The signature's loopy. Whose writing's loopy?"
"Malfoy's!"
Then in unison they both said, "NARCISSA!"
"Why in the world would Narcissa send a letter from Lily?"
"I dunno, but I think we'd better show James these letters."
Remus and Sirius apparated back to James's room with a loud CRACK. James fell off his bed and said "So Blacky-Boy, Are you gonna tell your best friend what's so bad that you can't stay in his house any longer?"
"Actually Jamesie-wamesie, I was going to show you, but you are not going to like it."
"Show me before I hex you. You are really pissing me off," James said, clearly irritated.
"Okay here's the letter I wouldn't let you look at," he said, passing James the letter from Lily. "And here's a letter I received last night."
"But we think that Narcissa wrote the letter from Lily," Remus added.
"So you thought I wouldn't talk to you because of this?" James said to Sirius.
"Well, yeah. I mean come on. The girl you love writes a letter to your best mate declaring her love for him, I'd be mad."
"You've forgotten something," James pointed out.
"What?"
"It's not her writing. God, Sirius you are so thick."
