August 24th 1977 - Lily Evans
Hey Marls!
MERLIN'S BEARD you'll never guess what just happened! So I was in my room listening to that Queen album you lent me and Petunia comes into my room – that was weird enough on its own. But she mentioned this guy who's been going to every house on our road, she says he's cute and she wants a better look. Naturally I go to the window to see who's there and she's right, this guy looks incredible – too bad she's with Vermin Dursley right! So this guy is sent away from next door and comes to our house, we go to answer the door and it's James Bloody Potter! AT MY HOUSE!
So after he turns up at my house I got into a row with my sister. To prove a point I kissed Potter – I thought he'd get that it wasn't real but I don't think he got the idea. He looked pretty miffed afterwards. Petunia told mum he was here and I knew she'd be out to fuss over him in a matter of minutes so I told him it would be best to leave. Then it turns out he's Head Boy this year – god knows why – and on the letter it said he'd be sharing his duties with me, so he came to give me a card and a cupcake and a lily flower to say congratulations which was really actually kind of nice of him. So he's about to leave when mum comes out and invites him to lunch which thankfully he declined. And then he just left – on a motorbike may I add! I feel kinda bad for fake snogging him now but there's not much I can do about it. Mum's making out like I'm engaged to him so I'm going to stop her before she tells Dad. Possible updates if anything else happens.

Peter – you're an idiot!
MERLIN'S BEARD I'm never forgiving you for this! I did what you said and went to Evans' house to 'congratulate her' – took me bloody ages to find can I point out – and her sister answers the door, seems nice enough at first. So I ask to see Lily and they get into a row because Lily's a freak – as am I apparently. And then Evans called me her boyfriend AND she kissed me – results right!? I was so bloody excited! She'd practically just asked me out! WRONG. She was lying so she could annoy her sister! So I made a complete fool of myself because I had to give her the stuff anyway or I'd look like I'd come to her house for no apparent reason. Apparently they'd both called me cute though which was nice I suppose. Anyway I can hear Padfoot coming and he's going to give me hell for getting his bike in a mess so I'll end the note here. Updates later if I decide I'm still friends with you.

I'm only writing to you because Remus said I had to finish telling you the story (that doesn't mean that I won't kick you out of the marauders though)
After her sister was gone I snatched a few moments with Lily in which she explained that she didn't actually want to be my girlfriend but then her mother made an appearance. I guess Mrs Evans was nice enough and she invited me for lunch but I couldn't stick around Lily anymore, I just wanted to punch the wall or something. So I came back here and wrote you the last letter. About 11pm Sirius said I had to come inside cause mum was getting worried and that's it. If you can redeem yourself then you might possibly get the next instalment of the story but don't hold your breath.
