Chapter 1: Summer Correspondences Between Highly Bored and Desperate Teenagers
Dearest Lily Vanilly,
How're your holidays? Can you send me a picture of yourself, so I may see how much more beautiful you have grown in the month we have been apart?
Love,
James
Potter,
As flattering as that was, I'm afraid you are just going to have to suffer two more months. My holidays are fine except for stupid Petunia's bridesmaids' fittings. You know she gets married in a week? They have to make sure she and Vernon are married before she starts to "show". Haha. Why did I just tell you that? Oh and Potter, just to warn you, I'm moving so you can't come to my house to visit like you planned. (Sirius told me you found out my address.) See you in two months!
Yours,
Evans
PS. My name is not Lily Vanilly!
Sirius,
You Blockhead! Why did you tell Lily I found out her address? Now, she convinced her parents to move! The asking for the picture thing flattered her though. She actually told me something about her life! Not that I'm going to tell you what it is, because you'll just blab it to everyone!
James
PS. You notice how I took the Dear out from in front of your name? Ha.ha.ha.
Dear James,
I'm sorry! It just slipped out! You know how I am when I get excited! I'm really, really sorry! Please tell me what she said! I swear I wont' tell anyone but Remmy! By the way, did you ask Lily where she was moving? 'Cause maybe if she shared something personal with you she'd tell you where she was moving.
Truly Sorry,
Sirius
Dear Sirius,
That's a really good idea! I'll owl her right now. I'd tell you what she said, but I really don't want to betray her trust. But I'll tell you something else. I think she's starting to like me! When are you coming for the summer? My mom's dying to try out some new recipes but won't until you get here because you'll eat anything!
James
Lily Billy Fo Filly,
Hey, if I promise not to come over and bug you will you tell me your address, please? I just want to know how far away you are now! I just don't want to kill my owl trying to send things to you, you know. Also, are you really mine?
Love, James
Dear Potter,
No, I will not tell you my new address. Nice try though, invoking pity for your owl. You know I love animals! That was unfair! How's Sirius by the way? Didn't kill him did you? 'Cause if you think about it he actually did you a favor, cause now you didn't make a fool of yourself in front of my old house's new tenants! You didn't tell anyone about Petunia did you? 'Cause no offense, but Sirius can't keep a secret, and your track record isn't exactly clean either. What do you mean am I really "yours"?
Yours,
Evans
Remus,
HELP! I moved next door to James! I replied to his letter and figured I'd just watch his owl fly away, 'cause it was a nice night and all, but the owl flew right to the window directly even to mine, and then James came to the window! He looked up and saw me too! What am I to do?
Panicking,
Lily
Lily,
I'm really sorry, but there's really nothing you or I could do now. I'm afraid James will be an unstoppable force now. Sorry, Love.
Commiserating,
Remus
Dear Sirius,
Lily moved in next door! Lily moved in next door! Lily moved in next door! I can't believe! Lily moved in next door!
James
Dear James,
You're kidding! You have to get your mom to invite her and her family over for dinner! That would be like the best night of your life!
Sirius
PS. I'll be over in two days!
Dear Mum,
We have new neighbors. I know their daughter from school. Can I invite them for dinner tomorrow evening? This way you could get to know them.
Love,
James
James,
Why are you owling me as I'm just in the kitchen? Sure you can invite them over. It would be so nice to meet a new friend of yours from school. Tell them they can come over around seven. Lunch is in ten minutes.
Love,
Mum
Dearest Lily,
My Mum says that you and your parents are invited to dinner tomorrow at seven. I'm kind of starting to regret telling her that you were a friend from school because she "can't wait to meet another one of my little friends from school". Urgh. Gag me. Please say you can come. My Mum would be super disappointed if you guys couldn't come.
Love,
James
Dear James,
Thanks for inviting us. We'll be over at seven. That was funny about your mum. See you tomorrow.
Yours,
Lily
PS. The only reason I used first names was because my mum was standing over me making me be polite.
PPS. Should I mention to your mum about your undying love for me? I think I shall, as it will make interesting conversation.
PPPS. Does your mum have any aversions to piercings? Specifically of the nose and bellybutton variety? 'Cause if she does there could be a problem.
A/N: Hope you liked! Now for a few words of wisdom:
Review, and get a hot dog. It's good for your soul.
Thank you and goodnight.
