A collection of letters, notes, and private conversations between the Marauders, Lily, and their new American friend Charlotte during first year.
A/N: I wrote this late one night so I realize it's pretty out there. It has a bit of Charmed in it so that's where Charlotte came from, if you are wondering.
Disclaimer: I own everything you don't recognize.

Dear Miss Halliwell:
I was wondering whether I could use your expertise on the subject of girls. I have a crush on a certain lady of our house. I believe her name is Lily Evans. I must ask what I should do. Thank you so much for helping me.
Sincerely,
James Potter

Dear Mr. Potter:
I would first like to state that it was very smart of you to come to me for advice, rather than your sarcastic and idiotic best friend, Mr. Black. Now, the matter concerning Miss Evans is a delicate one, a very delicate one indeed. I do not know her well, but I will take time out, for your sake of course, to investigate her personality. I must warn you first. From what I know about this Evans, she is will not be interested in you.
Sincerely,
Charlotte Halliwell

Dear Miss Evans:
I was wondering whether you would like to sit with me during lunch at the Gryffindor table. We are roommates and I feel we should be closer than we are. Please let me know about your answer.
Sincerely,
Charlotte Halliwell

Dear Miss Halliwell:
It was very nice of you to invite me and I do except. However, I feel there must be a more pressing matter involving the two of us, otherwise you would have waited to ask me before lunch or at the end of class. Please do not pass me another note, especially in such a formal way, unless it covers something serious.
Sincerely,
Lily Evans

Dear Miss Evans:
Yes, you are correct in assuming that I have an actual issue to ask you about. I would like you to describe yourself. My other question may seem inappropriate but it most important. What do you think about the boy sitting to the right of myself? You may ask me any questions you wish. Before ending this letter, I must remind you that both of the items of interest could have been covered over a leisurely lunch.
Sincerely,
Charlotte Halliwell

Dear Miss Halliwell:
I would first like to remark that these are odd items of interest but I shall answer them anyway. I consider myself very studious and serious. I do not wish to distract myself with such a thing as the boy sitting next to you. We are here at school to learn, not to lose our virginity. Now I wonder if you only asked me about myself because that boy asked you too. As pay back, I am going to ask you if there are any boys at the table in which you seated yourself that you have a crush on. I will wait until our leisurely lunch to ask any more of you.
Sincerely,
Lily Evans

Dear Miss Evans:
I would first like to remark that you really know how to detect deception. Yes, there is a boy that I have my eye on but I will not say his name because these letters could easily fall into the wrong hands. The boy sitting next to me is James Potter. He did indeed ask me about you, but don't tell him I told you so. Class is almost over so I shall talk to you at lunch.
Sincerely,
Charlotte Halliwell

Dear Mr. Potter:
James, I am very sorry to inform you that Miss Evans is not interested in you whatsoever. She is going to keep to her studies throughout her time here, as she so kindly pointed out to me in a previous letter. Now if you will excuse me, I must mentally prepare myself for lunch, which I am sure will be tiring. I will be eating with Miss Evans, so there may be hope for you yet.
Sincerely,
Charlotte Halliwell

Thank you again for investigating Miss Evans. I am very sorry she is not interested in me. I hope you have a wonderful lunch and you must let me know how it turns out.

Dear Miss Halliwell and Mr. Potter:
After twenty minutes of passing notes to Miss Evans from Miss Halliwell, I have two questions to ask. Why are the three of you taking the time to write out a formal letter and who, Miss Charlotte, do you have a crush on?
Sincerely,
Sirius Black

Dear Mr. Black:
Do not ask me why we are writing in such a formal fashion; Mr. Potter started it. I have only one answer to your other question. Why the hell have you been reading these letters!?
Sincerely,
Charlotte Halliwell
Table five: seat two
P. S. Mr. Potter would like to add that he wrote in a formal fashion because he felt like it. He would also like to say that Mr. Black is a git for reading our mail. Miss Halliwell would like to say that Mr. Potter is the git for calling these notes "mail." See you at lunch.
