Entry Two

As you have probably come to expect, James screwed up... royally. I am never going to trust him to woo Lily on his own ever again! Though I don't think the other Marauders would be any help either, except, maybe, Remus. But then again, how to get him to agree? For James' sanity, no, he lost that a long time ago. For my sanity! Honestly, if I have to see James make a complete idiot of himself again I'm not sure I can hold myself back from hexing him until he gets the message.

Lily had earlier taken it upon herself to force James out the door... face first. I'm so proud of her. Sirius found it all to be a great joke, does anything hit him as serious? Oh, ignore the Sirius/serious thing, please. Remus hid his laughter behind his book, yeah, Remus, I know what you're thinking! Peter just stood there, I don't think he was sure of anything at that point. The great James Potter rejected... again?! Yeah, we all expected that one. If only Lily liked James at least a little bit, then I'd have something to work with. It's a bit too bad she's sworn to hate him for all eternity. James, you have your work cut out for you, mate.

On another note, Landen came to my party. I was shocked, I hadn't sent him an invite. Lily must have done it, both of them were rather tight-lipped on the subject. Landen is one of Lily's friends in Ravenclaw, and, if I must admit it, I didn't like him much. Damn Lily, this must have been revenge for inviting James!
Landen tried to talk to me a few times before asking about my Tarot, which, like Lily, he thought was unbelievable and stupid. However, he seemed generally interested in my ramblings and even asked about a reading. It was... quite pleasant.

In the end, only Lily stayed for tea... where Carly and I had to listen to her rant about James Potter for half an hour. I had to block Carly's ears sometimes, Lily tended to get a bit eloquent when it came to James Potter. So, in return, I sniped at her for inviting Landen Blazen. She had the decency to blush at being caught out, until an owl started pecking at the kitchen window, at least.
So, as I moved to retrieve the letter she scraped her vegetables onto my plate and tried, vainly might I add, to look innocent. Did you know Lily hates vegetables? She likes salad and fruits. I hate salad, but carrots are the worst. Carly loves vegetables, in fact; she hates meat (except fish). At times I am appalled to have her as a sibling, okay, I'm lying. I love my sister.

I seem to have strayed off-topic, so, the letter. I hate this letter. I've read it a million times over and I hate it. It's going to upset mum so much, and I want to rip him a new one because of it. For, you see, Carly's father and my father are two different people, Carly's father ran off after she was born and mine is currently, at least, six feet under. Now, Carly's dad wants custody of her, and there is no way I'm going to let that happen. Even if I have to drop out of Hogwarts for a year, he will not be coming anywhere near Carly!
Lily had demanded to stay the night once she heard, she's currently in Carly's room and will be until I show mum the letter. I don't want to show it to her, I want to reply to him and tell him to bugger off. He doesn't even deserve to be associated with Carly, even if he is her father. He ran off and left mum heartbroken and Carly without a dad. I'll never forgive that.
Carly's father is a foul, pompous git and after this, I hope to never hear from him again. Yes, I realise that he wasn't sending the letter to me, but my mother. But it hurts more than her, damn it! I really don't want to show her this, really, I don't. I can't help but think that the rest of the night will be full of crying.
