Lily,

Please talk to me; it wasn't your fault that James reacted the way he did and I certainly do not blame you for his behaviour at all. [[I miss your letters; they were an inexpressible source of comfort for me and I hate how you've stopped.]]

I hope you feel better soon and pick up your quill and write to me once more.

That sounded awfully pedantic; I've never been good at this kind of thing.

If you have a chance, read Potion Opuscule. It's a bit advanced for a first-year but I think you'll manage; you did mention that you had a knack for potion-making so I do think you will enjoy reading this.

From,

Lysander


Lily,

I saw you the other day. You ignored me again; why do you always do this? [[Isn't it bad enough I get ignored by]]

You were talking to a Slytherin girl with copper curls who looked roughly your age, and I know that you saw me because you specifically averted your gaze when you passed.

Write to me, please; I miss your letters and your rants and digressions about Hugo, James and the like.

From,

Lysander


Scamander,

The girl's called Abigail Moonstone and I really don't think it's any of your business how I feel about my family any more.

Good day to you,

Lily.
