The Summer Before

June 21:

Lily and James,

Hey! So, I just want to remind you guys to not use any magic, at all, ever, no exceptions. Being separated like this is not good for you, you're going to be testy and a little sick enough as it is. Your magic should basically dwindle down to nothing, don't be too surprised.

Stay out of trouble, okay?

-Alpha

June 23:

Mooney,

Hullo Mooney! Are you enjoying your time with your mum and da? I sure hope so because otherwise you rejected James' offer to stay at the Potter Manor for no reason. (Seriously though I am going nuts here with only Padfoot around, Mum and Dad are usually gone on missions for Merlin's sake!) Oh, so, I hear that tight bird Juliana is staying with you too, any shagging there? (I think you two would be very cute together, I approve of any shagging, go for it!) Well, we've got to go, Potter is insulting my manhood!

-Padfoot and Prongs

June 30:

Mooney,

Hullo, don't tell Prongs about this, because I have not and he's going to flip when I do. I'm going to move out, I have that money from my uncle and I feel bad free loading. You're, of course, invited to live in my flat. Should I invite Alpha? She's getting caged bird fever, and, I dunno, I figure it could be pretty brilliant for her to live in. What do you think? You're the level headed one.

-Padfoot

July 4:

Remus and the Pack,

I have GREAT news, I just wrote a bill that got passed, it's letting us all into school again! Here's how it will work, we will all be in our own 'house' (back in the Chamber), and a list with all of our names will be public. It sucks, and there are a lot more catches, but we're back in school and not wanted anymore! You guys (and girls) can all come back to the island!

I'm just absolutely exploding with excitement,

Alpha Omega

July 5:

James,

How are you doing, love? I am sorry, but merlin's pants I have to ask and we all know I can't ask Sirius. Is it right that Alpha is moving in with Sirius? I was talking to Juliana, her and the rest of the pack are back at Hogwarts because they're students with no magical parentage (I'm not sure how Travis got in...), and she said that Remus said that Sirius was going to invite her to live with him. I thought they 'weren't dating'?

Other than that, how are you? I hope you're doing well, though we both seem to be trapped this summer.

Love,

Lily

July 11:

Lily,

Lily, oh my god, Lily, I have news.

So you know how I was forced to stay with Tommie because I was underaged, and since the law passed and I wasn't hunted, I was then affected by the one that first outlawed me to make me stay with him. Anyway, I turned 17 yesterday (thanks for the card and cheerleading uniform, I can't thank you enough for making sure the cheer stayed a thing!) and moved in with Sirius, and Remus. James held the party at his house (mate to mate, I'm worried about your boyfriend, he's getting 'same four walls syndrome' pretty harsh) and afterward, well Remus stayed with James and Sirius and I headed back. Two teens with an apartment to themselves, what do you think happened? WE HAD SEX! Oh my god,does this mean we are a thing or something? I am not ready for a thing, or am I? Oh my god!

I'm losing it!

-Alpha

July 23:

Lily, Love,

I am going bloody bonkers, Lily. My mum and dad have me locked up here, and after the attack in London I am feeling the containment! I need to go out and help them, but I can't! I'm stuck in this bloody cage! They are out there, living in the real world with real dangers and here I am living in my posh Manor, away from reality. I'm fucking 17, I need to help out! This is war!

To make it worse, being away from you is literally making me sick. How did you ever live life without magic?

I love you,

James

July 25:

James, love,

NO. Do NOT tell Alpha that she should move in. I know, you're doing it out of kindness. but her and Sirius will not take it that way, and regardless if she see's it as a way of you taking a hit on her independence, she will never forgive you. I know, she is in danger, she's who they were looking for, but do NOT go causing problems like that.

I love you, but don't be stupid,

Lily

July 30:

JAMES POTTER! I DO NOT NEED YOUR PROTECTION! IF YOU THINK YOU ARE SO FUCKING AWESOME THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO PROTECT ME BETTER THAN ME, THINK AGAIN! YOU CAN'T EVEN DO MAGIC! YOU ARE VERY LUCKY I AM NOT GOING TO TELL SIRIUS, WHICH IS NOT A KINDNESS, I WANT TO BE THE ONE TO KILL YO ASS!

Don'tfucking talk to me EVER again!

-Alpha Omega

August 7:

Potter. You overstepped your bounds there, I've got Alpha covered and I get that you're so fucking brilliant because of Lily, but I am plenty enough man to protect Alpha and you'd be best to remember that.

I'm mad at you.

-Sirius

August 12:

Lily, Love,

This summer is terrible, I'm locked at home, and the only one who will/can visit me is Remus. The war keeps going on, Mum and Dad keep fighting, but I do nothing and still get articles in Witch Weekly written about me, which by the way I hated and I don't want you to worry about. I can't wait until school.

Love you,

James

August 15:

James,

Cheer up, it's going to work out! Summer is almost over, and I am sure that Sirius and Alpha will come 'round. I liked the article, by the way, and I still think that it's good our relationship isn't known, or the bond part of it. Imagine the feild day that the Prophet would have!

Love you,

Lily

August 20:

Lily,

I got Head Boy, and Quidditch Captain (again). You're Head Girl, right? This'll be great! Sharing a dorm, *wink wink*.

Love you,

James

August 21:

Lily,

I am so so sorry! I did not expect to steal Head Girl from you, I was perfectly happy with the Head of both Cheer and Gryffindor Cheer. I am so so sorry. Can you ever forgive me?

-Alpha

Alpha, dear,

Sweetie, don't worry! I can't imagine the amount of stress that comes with Head Girl, and I think you'll do much better than I at it. I'm not mad at all, besides, imagine the mess we'd be in if I had a shared dorm with James?

-Lily

August 23:

James,

I bring news of your freedom! September 1st is the day we go to London for our school supplies, we go in the morning and then head to the Kings Cross to go to Hogwarts. Can you meet me at the Leaky Cauldron at 7AM? I know it's really early, but if we have an adult 'escort' we don't have to go with their group, it's stupid but that's the way it is.

Love,

Lily

August 24:

Juliana,

Hullo Juliana. I was wondering if you would like to go with me to London on September 1st, I know you need an adult wizard to go without the group.

Authors Note: Thanks for bearing with me, this chapter is just letters to summarize the summer, but it won't be like that for the rest of the story. This story will be much better written, just so you know. If anyone makes a comment, add the name of a person to it and I'll incorporate them in the story (Juliana was user submitted, btdubbs).

Have a great day!
