Flavor of the Lifetime
Prologue
Lily,
Hey. Well, summer's just started and I just wanted to see if you've done anything amazing yet. Of course, know you, you probably have. It's been pretty boring here at the Potter household. Sirius is still here, though he's looking for a place of his own. I don't think my parents want him to leave. They've sort of adopted him as another son.
Sirius is telling me that I should invite you over. So here I am, inviting you over. Yes you should come over so that we can-. Sorry about that last sentence, Sirius wrote it, I swear.
I should probably go. Owl me back.
Love, James
Lily,
I never got an owl back from you, maybe you forgot? Or maybe the last letter just didn't reach you.
Well, school's drawing nearer. We should meet up at Diagon Alley to get our books.
…
I really don't have a lot to say. I just like owling you. I miss you; of course I'm always missing you, aren't I? I miss everything about you. I miss you're luscious brown-red hair, you're sparkling, emerald green eyes, you're sweet, innocent face. I can't wait till school starts just so I can see you again.
Sorry, I shouldn't have said half of that stuff, sorry. I just hope this year, our last year, turns out better than past years.
Love, James
Lily,
You haven't answered any of my letters. Are you doing it on purpose? I hope not. Maybe you just don't have time with all the studying you do year 'round. I wish you'd answer just one…Oh well. I'll survive.
I have to go. Mum's taking me and Sirius out someplace, I'm really not sure where.
Love, James
Lily,
Don't tell James I'm owling you. He'll kill me. Well, not me owling you, you owling me back. Then he'd kill me. Yeah, so just don't tell him.
As James has already told you, I'm finding my own place; well actually I've already found it and put gold down on it. You're going to have to help me decorate it. You're a girl; you're good at that kind of stuff. You are a girl right? Ha-ha, just kidding. James wouldn't be obsessed with you if you weren't. Well, he could, but then I couldn't be his friend anymore; it'd be awkward. Okay, I'm done rambling.
This is not coming from James, just so you know, this part is coming from me; owl him back. Every owl that comes through this place, he hopes it's from you. It's depressing to see his face fall when he realizes it's not. Just owl him, it doesn't have to be a novel, just a short hi and how are you.
Uh-oh, James is coming upstairs so I better send this off. And I'm not even going to bother putting owl me on here because I know you will. Haha.
-Sirius
Sirius,
You're making me owl him? And you're going to enforce that how? But I will because you'll probably send me a letter with a spell or something.
So for your house, I'm thinking baby blue walls with pink trimming. What do you think? I think those colors look really good together and they fit your personality so well. I've already bought the paint and everything. Just tell me where and I'll go over there and paint.
Sorry this isn't a novel. I have homework to do and stuff. I feel like I've disappointed you now, you don't get to read a novel. How depressing...
Owl back, because you actually need someone to tell you to do it.
-Lily
Potter,
Hi. I just don't feel like owling you. See you at school.
-Lily
Moony,
SHE OWLED ME! SHE OWLED ME! SHE OWLED ME!
Okay, so it wasn't the longest letter in the world, but she did owl me. She's warming up. I knew she would one day.
Haha, yeah I just had to tell you. Nothing interesting is really going on here. How's that furry problem of yours? When we get to school I better not see half of your face clawed off…
