Ch 1 LETTERS HOME

Dear Mom and Dad,

Here everything is fine, classes are going well and I've managed not to get detention this year, though I can't say the same for James, Fred and the rest of the family.

James and Lily asked me to write you for them, since they're busy cleaning the Hall again as punishment.

James's fine, he just keeps pranking and fighting with this girl in his year, yesterday he made her pumpkin juice blow up and she hexed him, I'm not really sure what spell she used, but James was hanging upside down above the Griffindor table.

I guess I'll just ask her.

Lily is fine too, though she keeps getting a little too much attention from boys lately, last week she had to hex this Ravenclaw idiot because he wouldn't leave her alone, later I think James and I will give him a piece of our minds.

Don't worry I'll make sure we're not caught.

Love, see you at Christmas.

Al

Harry Potter read his son's letter with amusement, when he finished he started laughing, the irony of his other son being on the receiving end of his grandfather's favourite spell in his prankster days was not lost on him.

When his wife walked in the room he asked her "Did you read this?"

"Yes, sounds interesting, doesn't it?" she said with a beaming smile.

"Sure does. When you answer just make sure to ask him if the girl is a redhead."

Dear James,

We received Al's letter, but we answered the three of you separately. I would be really happy if you stopped getting detention, just enough to have a nice, regular correspondence.

James could feel the "or else ..." at the end of the sentence loud and clear, he went on reading.

We heard about this girl you're always fighting with and we got curious, is she pretty? Or clever? Which house is she in? We really want to meet her, do you think you could manage to bring her over at Christmas? With all your other friends, of course, we don't want to embarrass either of you.

You Father wants to know if she's a redhead.

Hope you're well.

Love,

Mum.

James finished reading his mother's letter and a nasty feeling settled in his stomach, why, for ol' Merlin's pointy hat, did they want to know more about Minerva Hill, his resident poltergeist?

And why the hell his father wanted to know her hair colour?

It was almost as if they thought ...

James got distracted by a couple of shouting voices getting trough the portrait hole, his cousin Rose and Malfoy were fighting again, their relationship was starting to annoy the sunlight out of him, they yelled, they bickered, then, as if nothing happened, they were found snogging in some dark hallway. Could they not be like any other couple?

It was already bad that he was a Malfoy, for crap's sake, why did they have to be an annoying bickering couple like his Aunt and Uncle?

Then realization dawned.
