Dearest James,

My sincere apologies for causing you any concern, it is in fact the MUGGLES. My sister is now engaged to that horrid man and I have been dragged from one awful bridal shop to the next being stuffed into ugly poofed sleeved hideous dresses I think I would prefer Cruciatus Curse over having to go to one more shop with them. Please tell me in my absents this camping trip is well on the way to being set in place.

I have had the briefest of a chance to contact Alice and she agreed she would love to come along. Frank has been so busy with his Aurora training she has not seen much of him the poor dear, she could use the distraction as much as me.

I am seriously considering your offer to "help" with the boyfriend now turned fiancé, he is so pompous. At dinner the other night he actually suggested that maybe I should attend a finishing school, as if I was being rude, for asking polite questions and making polite conversation. I am almost afraid of what his reaction will be when we tell him what I really am.

I will keep the info about Mr. Lupin in the strictest of confidence; I do hope he is not too hard on Remus. A second cabin is an excellent idea my father has been inquiring about the sleeping arrangements, that should appease him. As for fighting over Surius I will do my very best not to let me jealousy show.

You behaving would be a sight to behold I am looking forward to the tea. I managed to have my mother clear this coming Friday, which will be an excellent break from wedding planning. If that is convenient for you and your family please owl me back ASAP.

A very frazzled and Grateful

Lily

Lily Dearest,

I'm going to talk to the guys about your sister. Don't worry, we won't hurt her. Can't promise anything about the fiancé though. When are you going to tell him? Are you waiting until after he's married your sister, so it will be too late for him to change his mind?

Sorry you have to go through all the wedding dress stuff, but I'm sure no matter what she puts you in, you'll look beautiful.

My mum says Friday sounds fine, come on over. And if it's alright with your parents, you can just stay and the camping trip will begin after they leave. Sirius and Remus are already here, waiting. And Jillian, Sirius's...well girlfriend isn't the right word, but I don't think I should put what she really is down on paper. But anyway, Jillian will be coming too. I apologize in advance for forcing you to room with her, just remember she's Sirius's choice, not mine. It'll be great to see Alice, she's always fun!

Always Yours,

James
