Letters

VI

July 24, 1977

Lily,

I care about you every day of the year, every hour of the day, minute of the hour, second of the minute, millisecond of a second…I don't know what comes after.

Are periods really that bad? Girls complain about them all the time. I guess you're bleeding constantly for a week…and your stomach hurts…and you become more emotional than normal (which is REALLY emotional for you…) you know, maybe you don't have to answer that question.

Have you gotten your Hogwarts letter yet?

Your boyfriend,

Charming.

Don't even, Potter…! That's only the half of it, because you have ignorant stupid black haired boys with square framed glasses making fun of you for it.

No, I haven't but we should be receiving them in less than a fortnight. Let me know when you get yours, and if you hear who the Heads are. Hopefully it's someone relatively normal, I don't think I would like Bellatrix Black in charge. She might eat some of the smaller first years.

Your friend,

Lily

Lily,

Hmm, I have no idea who you're talking about…the description fits Sirius, but he has bifocals, which are anything but square shaped.

I did get mine, and as for the Heads, I promise you the Head Boy is perfectly handsome, charming, and a wonderful person. He is a great student and never has caused any trouble…kind of. I happen to know him very well.

Your boyfriend,

Sirius has BIFOCALS? Why doesn't he ever wear them?

I got Head Girl! But I fear that something drastically wrong has gone with Dumbledore's head, if he picked who I think he did for Head Boy. I won't even dare to ask, in case it is true. I'll just find out on September first. Remind me to bring a noose.

Your friend,

Lily,

I would much rather be blind than look like an old man.

Yours,

Sirius

Sirius,

How very mature and modest you are.

Lily

Lily,

You might think this impossible, but Sirius is even more conceited than I am.

I'll end your torture, since I would not want such a fair maiden to be in distress. Your dreams have come true, Miss Lily Evans; I am the Head Boy. You will be the envy of all the female population of Hogwarts—namely McGonagall—even the male population. Some might get a little overzealous and some might even try to take your life—do not be alarmed though, I will protect you. On the bright side, you get the opportunity to share a dormitory with me.

Your boyfriend,

James

AN: James is so much fun to write. I'm having too much fun with this.

Thanks to these wonderful people: EnchantedWords17 (thanks! :D), TalonsandTealeaves, Alicenotinwoderland (thanks for pointing that out, I'll try and fix it!), MayFairy, Loslote, anon, and Go. .Lily! Thanks to all of you who answered the last QotC, I loved hearing about your favorite authors.

QotC: Favorite actor/actress? It can be because they're hot or talented, I want to know!

Thanks for reading!
