Dear Lily flower,
I really can not wait until you come to Hogwarts tomorrow! You'll like my newest friends, they're quite a laugh once you get to know them.
I'm missing you.
I hope Petunia hasn't been too aweful to you this past week, and please tell me if you feel unwell whilst you are here.
Luv Remus XX
My lovely Remus,
Thanks for your letter! Of course my vile sister has been aweful this week! It is in her nature to do so, after all!
I'm so excited about coming to Hogwarts tomorrow! I still feel bad that I couldn't be there with you on your first day... Stupid ruptured appendix!
Anways, send Herra back to me a.s.a.p with details about your new friends.
All my luv, Lilz
p.s. I hope they aren't replacing me! ; )
Lily,
My friends are the complete opposite of you (who is forever my BEST FRIEND!). They're pranksters and hate studying or reading (!)
Sirius Black is the new heart throb of the school, as I heard someone say. He's a real charmer with girls, and a nice guy once you get to know him.
James Potter is..well, mental. Hehe. Don't mention that I said that, though! He's a good friend too and a Quidditch addict!
They'll adore you, when you meet them tomorrow!
XXX Remus XXX
Remus,
What in the name of the Easter Bunny is Quidditch!
xXx Lily xXx
James Potter, being the nosy person that he was, had been reading this last later over Remus' shoulder. As he did so, he gasped in dramatic shock
"What does she mean 'What's Quidditch?' !" he inquired, chocolate brown eyes hinting at outrage at the very idea of someone not knowing what his passion in life was.
"Must you do that?" Remus groaned, having jumped half a mile into the air in fright at James' outburst.
"Yeah" the irripressable brunette grinned "Now explain"
"Lily's a muggle-born, James" the blonde boy replied simply, rubbing scarred fingers over the lids of his pale blue eyes which were half closed due to lack of sleep.
"Ok, I'll let her off this time then" he chuckled, volting over the back of the sofa and landing perfectly to sit beside Remus.
James stared at Remus for a moment, obviously wanting to ask something. He thought it would be more fun to annoy his newest friend, however, because it was so easy to do. James Potter and remus Lupin were as different as chalk and cheese... perhaps that was why they were such good friends already.
With a sigh, the shorter of the pair turned "What?" he inquired, not having the patience for the game.
"What does she look like?" James found himself asking, eyes alight.
"Who?" came an ammused tone from the doorway to the common room. Both turned and grinned when they saw a handome boy with black hair and dark eyes that more than a few girls had commented as being like a puppy's. Not a bad comparison, but a rather odd in Sirius' mind.
"Hey Sirius, we're talking about Lupin's girlfriend" James chortled as his other best friend seated himself on Remus.
"Oi, Remmykins, I thought we were going out?" he pouted in mock sadness, being the joker as always.
"Gerroff!" Remus faught back laughter as Sirius then got up and sat next to James.
"Alright, fine, be like that" he chuckled, noting James' shoulders shaking with inward laughter
"Lily isn't my girlfriend, she is my best friend and she's coming to Hogwarts tomorrow" Remus sighed with a smile
"Why wasn't she here with us when we started?"
"She was having her appendix out" he shrugged "She's nervous about coming here, seeing as there's never been a witch or wizard in her family before"
"She can have a few of my relatives, if she wants" Sirius snorted indignantly. It was no secret that he hated his family and they returned the feeling wholeheartedly
"Anyways" Remus coughed, going back to the main subject "James just asked what she looked like" he dug around in the pocket of his robes for a moment before producing a muggle photograph of a slender girl with fiery red curls and amazingly green eyes. She was smiling and unaware of the picture being taken, which was obvious because she was cuddling a cute white kitten, obviously her own.
"Wow, she's gorgeous" James comented, the words slipping unbidden from his lips. As the other two looked at him oddly he blushed "What?"
"You fancy her already!" Sirius cackled evilly "Don't you?"
"No!" he protested, lying very badly
"You will when you meet her then" Remus grinned "She's really smart, funny and...well... a little on the mental side"
"Which reminds me.." Jame said, wrinkling his nose slightly "Remus... What's the Easter Bunny?"
