It was drawing near the end of the summer and Scarlet Void sat in her room
writing a letter to fellow Griffindor and long-term boyfriend Sirius Black.
She hadn't seen him since her birthday party on 31st July when she had
invited most of the third year, going on fourth Griffindors plus several
Ravenclaw and Hufflepuffs Hogwarts students. That had been a good night she
thought dreamily shame lily Evans one of her best friends, but total nutter
and friend of Slytherins (!!!, Slytherins of all people!) had insisted on
bringing that grease ball Snape. She shuddered; she could not see what she
found in him. If it hadn't been for him hers' and Sirius's night would have
been perfect, they had just been making there way up to the bedroom when
along came Snape and started yelling at Sirius, neither could abide each
other. and well that ruined his mood, she hadn't wanted the first time to
be so strained so they rejoined the rest of the part downstairs.
She cleared her mind and concentrated on her letter again.

I'm missing you dreadfully; I can't wait till we get back from Hogwarts to see you! I'm going to Diagon Alley on the 24th if you want to come and meet me before then. Buying some last minute provisions for school, i.e. Dungbombs! Bring the rest of the marauders if you like. Haven't seen anyone in ages. Lily is meeting me there, if you have to persuade James to come, I'm sure that will help! How's your holiday gone? Have your parents been driving you mad as usual? Don't worry, not long till we can escape back to school. The whole family has been round visiting us, believe me, not fun! Hardly a chance to escape by my self and that summer assignment!!! I should really get it done unless I want to start the term off with another week of detentions. I didn't get the chance to thank-you for my birthday present, its gorgeous; it matches Griffindor colours as well as my name and birthstone!!! I enjoyed my party, it was fun! Although I do wish lily hadn't bought the stupid slime ball Snape. Anyway please come to Diagon Alley. Love always Scarlet /i (She also signed her name with a kiss of scarlet lipstick)
She then went downstairs to find her owl. "Frosty" she said to her sleek silver owl "Will you deliver this to Sirius black? And wait for his reply." The owl hopped impatiently as she tried to tie the message to his leg. "Will you bloody keep still" she sighed exasperated. Frosty gave a hoot of indignation before allowing her to put it in place and then he flew eagerly out the window. She then walked into the living room and was herded by a group of young cousins into playing hide and sneak, a popular wizarding game for young children. 'My god' she thought as she finally escaped, 'I'll go insane if I can't get away soon.'
Luckily she didn't have to wait along time as later that night she heard frosty at her window. She opened it and read Sirius' reply.

You would not believe how much I want to leave this place. Its all Regulas this Regulas that. You know how my parents are. I can't wait to see you also -glad you liked your present. James has invited me to his place I'm going tomorrow. He wants to know if you would like to come. Please do! Lily will be there! We can have some fun, James' parents are very nice and Remus will be coming soon but I think Peter is away on holiday with his family. Send your reply to James' place if you can come (or if you can't) Love Sirius/I
Her heart leapt at this message; thank God she could escape here and have some fun, with Sirius and all her best friends. Luckily her mother didn't need much persuading, her hands where full enough with all there guests and she was reasonably pleased to have the number cut down. So she wrote her reply.
IJames and Sirius
Would love to come, if you don't mind me there. I'll get there (Floo powder) sometime tomorrow afternoon. Can't wait to see you Scarlet/I
And she sent Frosty out for his second task that day. "Take it to James Potter" she said. And then went to bed..
The next morning she received a reply.

Great, Cant wait to see you. Sirius and James. /I
She packed her Hogwarts trunk as she was not planning on coming back this holiday with all the essentials she would need, robes, muggle clothes school books, not to mention her various prank books. She, like Sirius enjoyed a good prank and this had been what drew them together as friends in first year and now as boyfriend, girlfriend they still enjoyed playing various tricks on some of the poor unsuspecting -and suspecting staff, not to mention Snape. The filling her purse with money went to say goodbye to her parents and sprinkling floo powder into the fireplace she dragged her trunk behind her and yelled out "12 Stone Court" and she felt a tingling sensation before she immerged into the bright lights of James' house.
bRight well really this is just a tester on here but please tell me what you think and I'll try and add some more when I can./b
