A/N: Hello and welcome to the next installment :) This is a filler chapter for now. I'm full of cold and this was fairly easy to write! Hello to my new followers- Weird'smyname and Kikoanna, great to have you aboard! Please, please read and review and help me too feel better as feeling rough as atm! ;) Enjoy!
Hey Pops, How's things been this week? I've had an interesting start to the school year to say the least! Poor Lily was attacked on the Hogwarts Express, Cruciated would you believe?! I of course was the one to break it up and look after her. You should have seen Professors Dumbldore and McGonagall's face once we pulled into Hogmeade, I dont think I've ever seen either of them that mad before, and I know us Marauders have done some things in our time but this was just plain scary not that I've admitted that to anyone else. Worst luck Dumbledore couldn't find any proof as to who the miscreant was. I'm suspecting the Slytherins, seeing as the Incident happened after Mr Norman walked past their carriage. Norman is in Ravenclaw and it looks like he was Imperised into Cruciating Lily! So anyway Lily of course ended up in the hospital wing for the weekend to recover, and yours truly ended up in there too on the saturday, because earlier in the day Snape tried to visit Lily while I was visiting with the new Prefects rota I'd completed (I know you're sat there eyebrows raised so stop it!) Anyway after leaving Lily on my way back to the common room I had the misfortune to run into ol' Snape again and the git slashed my cheek open! I'm okay Pops thankfully Matron assures me that there'll be no scarring, I wouldn't want my good lucks marred by a nasty scar! Well least ways not until I've completely captivated Lily. But in all seriousness, are you really okay Pops? Are you coping okay? I know its been 8 months since Mama died and you're pretty self sufficent now but I still can't help but worry about you. I know you have Hinky and Dot to look after your needs, but I'm still not thrilled at the thought of you coming home from the Auror office to an empty house and bed. In a way I'm kind of glad Mama didn't live to see what this world is now coming too because it would cause her constant worry. I love you Pops and I miss you, can't wait for Christmas now. Love James. Dear James, I promise James, I'm fine, I know you worry as much as your mother used too but It's okay I'm used to it all now and as you said I'm self sufficent and I do have Hinky and Dot to look after me and with that said means that I'm not coming home to a completely empty house, but an empty bed yes, and that's the most painful part if I'm honest son. I can't wait for Christmas either son, are you bringing any of the other Marauders home for Christmas? Let me know soon so I can give Hinky and Dot fair warning. Take care James and I love you too Dear Uncle Charlie, Hey Unc how's it going? James told me you asked about me which touched me. I'm well, wondering how I'm going to get through this avalanche of homework we've been given this week but being as brilliant as I am I'll manage! *Winks* My week hasn't been as eventful as James' or Evans but I hoping to change that soon! Ever heard of Hestia Jones? She will be mind Unc, Oh yes I will win that girl over this year! Really hoping that James is going to finally woo Evans so we don't have to keep hearing about it! I'll be coming home with James for Christmas if that's okay? I think Remus is planning on coming with us up until Dec 23rd at least, Wormy will be at home with his mother. Right gotta get rolling James is holding Quidditch try-outs in a little while and I need to warm up and get changed. Laters Uncle Charlie! Sirius. Dear Sirius, Please don't call me Charlie, I am not Charlie, my name is Charlus. You make sure you study hard I'd like to think you'd pass your N.E. this year and get a decent job, especially as you and James both are planning becoming Aurors! You have to get and knuckle down now and stop mucking about. I know I may seem harsh, but you're more like a son to me and I personally don't want to see you fail, and neither would Dorea if she was here. Ah so you have a new crush then, I believe she is one of Lily Evans best friends if I'm not much mistaken? I wish you luck in that endevour but do remember studying! Don't let my son get too distracted by Miss Evans make sure he's studying just as hard, though I shall be as glad as you when he's finally wooed her it'll give all our ears a break haha. Let me know how Quidditch goes and if James let you back on the team. Take care Sirius Uncle Charlus. Dear Pops, Sirius told me he wrote you finally. He also showed me your reply too, I promise you I am studying hard in between my Head Boy duties and Quidditch Captain duties. I'm also making sure Pads is studying hard Pops I know you have high expectations for us both and trust me neither of us want to let you down, or saying that Mama. Quidditch try outs went well Sirius is back on the team as a beater, also Mark Brewer is beater again. I have two new chasers one being Lily's best friend Marlene Mckinnon, which was a surprise! The other is Pyxis Tucana a burly fifth year. Patrick Hardgreaves is back as Keeper and we have a new Seeker, Dianthe Dores. So that's the team complete for another year. Anyway Pops I better go I have a meeting with the Head girl aka Lily Evans to discuss this weeks Prefect rota. Love you Pops James.
Oh son! That's an awful start to the school year, but I presume that you're both healthy enough and back into your lessons yes? I cannot believe that two Unforgivable curses have been used and the culprits haven't been found out, if I was Dumbledore I'd be mad too! But its best not to go accusing the Slytherins son, that'll only lead to trouble so please do me a favour and don't go shouting things like that around the school, next time you could recieve a worse injury than you've already sustained! Please also tell Sirius the same thing also I couldn't stand the thought of him being injured either. Speaking of which how is Sirius? I'm still yet to hear from him.
Pops.
