All Because of a Moonbeam

And now, to the story…

Dear Mum and Dad,
How is life at home? Is Petunia enjoying her school? It's hard to believe that I have been in school for almost two months now, isn't it? The house sure must be quiet with out us.
Yesterday was the Ravenclaw versus Hufflepuff Quidditch match. It was extremely exciting. The teams were tied, 70 to 70 when Arthur O'Brian, the Ravenclaw seeker spotted the snitch over by the Hufflepuff scoring area. He raced toward it when Margie Sheets saw what he was doing and followed. They were neck in neck; it was just in front of them when Arthur sprinted ahead. He grabbed the snitch and that was game; Ravenclaw had won. Gabriella was so excited. She's in love with him, Arthur I mean. Over the summer I really must take you to a Quidditch game, they are a ton of fun. Football isn't half as exciting compared to it.
Oh, speaking of Gabby, do you think it would be all right if she spends the Christmas Holidays with us? It is such a long trip for her back to Lyon. She will be writing and asking her parents, too. So, if it is okay with them, will it be okay with you?
Oh! I must tell you of James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew's latest antics. I say that it is all of them, but it is more just Black and Potter. Well, we were in potions on Friday and it turns out that they had switched the dried fish eggs we were using. You would think that two different types wouldn't be that different, right? Well turns out that the differences between the dried trout eggs and the mashed mermaids purses is large enough to have all the cauldrons explode! Lucky thing that it wasn't Gryffindor that was playing, for we would have been one Chaser short, which would be quite bad seeing that we don't have a back up for Potter. (Quite an unwise move by Molly Prewett, our captain, seeing that James Potter is always in and out of detention.) They spent all Saturday cleaning up the mess they helped make.
Tomorrow is the full moon; they are always so pretty here at Hogwarts.
Love always,
Your Daughter,
Lily Evans

Dear Lily Love,
The house is really quiet without my two daughters home. I miss you both quite much. Other wise life has been quite nice here. Your father is out on a business trip right now; I am home alone. If it is all right with Gabriella's parents, it is fine with me for her to stay over the Holidays. Though, I am sure her parent will want to see her for Christmas. Nothing much is happening here at home, though I must say it's been raining something miserable. When your father gets back home, we shall be going to see Petunia's Christmas concert. She is in choir over at St. Mary's. It is good that she as something she loves to do. I think at times she is envious of you. Oh gosh, Lily, I miss you both ever so much. Well, I must go get the house clean for when your father comes home. I know the letter is short, your owl looks impatient to deliver it and I know they don't accept our post at that school of yours.
Love always,
Mummy
P.S. I made some cookies, so do enjoy and share the love around your dormitory.
