Dear Mary,
Happy Christmas! How's your vacation? I'm sending you a present with this letter, I hope you like it! I spent hours walking around Hogsmeade with Remus before I found it. I also got presents for the boys (because Remus told me about how they had all gotten me a present), but for that I went alone (and, let me tell you, those boys are not easy to shop for. There's not a thing in Zonko's that they don't already own.). Well, until Sirius found me and helped me get James and Peter presents. Thank Merlin he found me. Remus was easy to buy for, and Sirius wasn't too bad, but for the other two I had no idea.
Surprisingly, hanging out with the Marauders has actually been fun. Every day I want to rip the hair out of my head a little less, and, instead, I actually find myself laughing at their strange (yet, somehow funny) jokes. If this keeps up we might actually be friends by the time you get back.
James has been really sweet lately. He hasn't asked me out once since the beginning of the Holidays, and he even talks to me without blushing like a fool now. Remus and Sirius tried to persuade me to give him a chance, but I don't know. What do you think? Do you think he can actually be reasonable now?
I have to go. Apparently, I'm going Christmas caroling around Hogsmeade with the boys. Owl me back soon! I need help and I miss you tons.
xoxo - Lily
