This is a story told through letters. It starts out as letters between Lily and her best friend Desdemone, but soon branches out to include James, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Phoebe, Lavinia, Ursula, Anelia and others.

Any reviews(comments, suggestions, flames) would be great, although they aren't really expected- no one really seems to want to read fics that are from the P.O.V of characters they've never "met" before.

There is much more to this story (the rest of this notebook, another notebook, and another book) and it will all be posted in due course.

Thanks for reading! We really appreciate it!

The Letter Writers,

Chelsea and Siobhán

Dezzie,

I can see you; one row down, two seats over. I don't know why Binns split everyone up. I think he's finally lost it. Or maybe it's because of those wet-start fireworks…

Sirius Black is making eyes at the back of your head. I blame him and James Potter for the seperation of everyone. Damn those "Marauders". And Damn James Potter, the big-headed buffoon. Don't ever fall for Black, Dez, or we'll have to hang around with them. And if we have to hang around with them I'll Advera Kedavra myself.

Potions next. Joy of all joys; 2 hours with the Slytherins! Yuck. D'you think maybe we could skip the class? Go to Hogsmeade through the "Witch Tunnle"?

Write back

Lily

Lily

Sounds fine with me! I am not about to go through 2 hours sitting with all those Slytherin idiots. I hate them. No, I don't hate all of them, but I can't stand Cheryl and Salome. They smirk and gossip and pick on everyone for no reason at all. Every time they talk to me I just want to whip out my wand, and zap them with something nasty, painful and banned. But anyway, who cares about 'them' right? Point is, yes, I want to go to Hogsmeade.

As for the "Marauders", I don't want to talk about them. It is their fault. Gor, I wish they'd stop trying to save the world or something. They really think they are the best things that ever arrived at Hogwarts. Big headed fools.

Geez, Lily, that's gross! I should never have told you I think Sirius is good looking. I mean, he is, but I don't like him, and he doesn't like me and I am glad of that because I don't want to go so low as to befriend a Marauder. He wasn't making eyes at the back of my head. Oh yuck.

Anyway, meet you at the witch

Desdemone

Dezzie,

Good, it's a plan then! I've some money with me, so we can go to the 3B's. Butterbeer- 5 sickles on Mondays & Wednesdays!

Remus Lupin isn't so terrible. At least he's polite. Potter is by far the worst! Him and his broomstick obsession, his belief that he is better than everyone else. I cannot STAND that boy.

Imagine if any of them ever found your letter?! Sirius would never let you hear the end of it! Potter would discover that not everyone likes him! It's almost worth it….hmmm…

Naw. Potter knows I hate him, and you know a few more hexes than I do.

Anelia Logan is sitting beside me, reading a love letter from Magnus Radcliffe. Gag me. What does that girl see in him?!?

#1- He's a Slytherin

#2- He is mean

#3- She is so nice

#4- she's a Ravenclaw (isn't she supposed to be smart?)

#5- Radcliffe isn't exactly a prize pick! It's as bad as it would be if she were dating Potter!!! For Merlin's Sake, he's Luscius Malfoy's friend!!!!!

Did Binns just mention writing a parchment on Uric the Oddball???

Lily

p.s. He was too making eyes at you!

Lil

That was so fun!

Sneaking off to Hogsmeade was great and we didn't even get caught!

What is it with those people? And don't those waitresses at 3 Broomsticks ever wonder why younger girls like us are stopping for butterbeer on school hours? Honestly, I think she thought we were older. We really should have tried ordering a pint of ale each. I've heard so much about the Chickory root ale. We should try next time.

I never responded to the letter you wrote me yesterday, so I will do that now.

Sirius doesn't like me! I don't like any of them and that's final! He was not looking at me. Really. Don't even think of letting one of my notes slip or leaving one around. I know you wouldn't do it intentionally, but try to keep them safe. I don'' want the whole school to know what i wrote in there. Not as though Sirius' looks aren't common knowledge or anything., though, so that's part wouldn't be so bad. Dry gossip.

Poor Anelia. Yes, Lily, I agree. Magnus is such a creep and Anelia of all people doesn't deserve him. She is so sweet and accepting. Pretty naïve too. She has to stop being so nice to people. She doesn't have to be so nice to everyone. If Magnus really likes her, he should be nice to her. I can't see this resulting in good. Potter is a better pick than Magnus, though. At least he knows how to be nice.

Now what is really spooky is I think that Severus likes me! This morning he stopped me in the hall and said

"I noticed you weren't in Potions. You missed an important lesson, do you need notes to copy?"

So I just looked at him and then I said "No, I got them from someone else." He looked kind of struck and said "Oh, I see. Well, if you need any help with it, just ask me." And he left.

Like I said, spooky. He was trying to be nice or something. I don't actually have those notes, I don't know why I lied about it. Eveline better have been paying attention!

Desdemone

p.s. He wasn't!

Dezzie,

Professor Zambini came to talk to me in Divination today. He lectured me in responsibility and attendance AND gave me a bloody detention! I told him that you were ill yesterday, and I was nursing you back to health, but he told me that nursing was what Hogwarts employed a school nurse for. So I get D.T, which means quality time with the Wonder Boys. How do I know they will be there? Because the "Marauders" always are.

I am sure that he likes you! He's always staring at you! I agree that Sirius is good looking- if you like the shaggy-dog look! Honestly, that long hair is AWFUL!

I asked Anelia how was yesterday. That girl is a lost cause! She sighed & turned red! I wonder if she knows that he beats up first years?

SNAPE LIKES YOU?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe you should join some kind of service that will hide you somewhere?!? Or just use a forbidden curse on him…

Potter is not better than Radcliffe! Both are absolute prats!

Admittedly, Potter is better looking (and that will never again be mentioned) But both are absolute PIGS! They should be hexed to DEATH!

Ooops, time for detention.

Later

Lily
