Here is another new story companion thing... so I thought since we have Lily's thoughts in her diary how about some letters full of James thoughts... :) Anyway please review. James will probably send a letter for each week of his school year...
Hello Mum,
Well I arrived safely. I've been here a week and since you made me promise I am writing you a letter. Not much has happened to be honest. I was sorted into Gryffindor but that was obviously going to happen, wasn't it? I've been given tons of homework and I've made some great friends. Obviously there are Frank and Alice but I've also made friends with the other guys in my dorm; Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. They are really cool. Sirius has kind of become my best friend. We became friends like straight away. His mum is majorly angry that he's in Gryffindor.
The first year girls had a huge argument on the first night but Frank and I managed to diffuse it. Alice was in tears. One of the girls thought that we were pure-blood fanatics because of our parties… no comment. You should have heard what Frank said about us. I quote: "The Potter family may be rich but they have more loyalty and courage than they have galleons in Gringotts." Filled me with pride to be a Potter.
I got dad's letter on Thursday. Is dad serious? Why would the prophet do that? Remus thinks the ministry is paying the paper off so that people don't think the ministry is losing control. Tell him not to worry; I am trying my hardest to avoid the Slytherins. Sirius told us that he overheard a conversation at home about a Dark Lord… apparently Sirius' cousin Bellatrix is going to be recruiting at Hogwarts for him.
So far my favourite teacher is Professor Kilmont – she teaches Defence Against the Dark Arts. Sirius says she's hot. She wants to be an auror like dad. Professor Slughorn invited me and Sirius to a party at the weekend so that might be fun. Peter said that Slughorn "collects" promising students. Was he teaching here when you were? Transfiguration is my favourite subject. I got a ton of points in it too.
There is this girl who absolutely hates me – and I'm not even joking. I met her on the train and I may have had an argument with her friend – he's a Slytherin. I just don't get it; he's a Slytherin and she's a muggle-born. It doesn't make sense. She has nice eyes though – Evans I mean.
The weathers been great so we've had a chance to spend some time by the lake but don't worry I'm keeping on top of my homework.
James. xxx
