Summer between 5th and 6th Years, June, Owl Post
Dear Lily,
I'm sorry. I didn't mean it Lily. Please talk to me. I stopped by yesterday, but your mother said you were out. I'm sorry Lily. I'm so, so sorry.
Severus
Dear Lily,
How has your summer been so far? Mine's been good, well except for that banquet I had to go too. It was positively dreadful. My mother made me put on these hideous dress robes and then I had to dance with all these old men. I swear they are pedophiles or something. Mum said that they weren't, but I don't believe her. You are still coming to visit in July when Mary and Dorcas come right?
Love, Alice
Dear Ginger,
Were you aware that my love burns for you like a dying phoenix? Just thought you might want to know.
Yours, James
Dear Lily,
So I was talking to Alice yesterday. She convinced me to go shopping with her in Diagon Alley. I know shocking right? I spent most of the time wishing I could pull my hair out slowly. It was utterly painful. We spent 2 whole hours in Madame Malkin's alone. I don't think I'll be able to spend time alone with Alice until September at the earliest. How has your summer been? I hope it was a smidge better than mine has been so far. I'll see you at Alice's right? Mary can't come anymore, so don't you dare subject me to two whole weeks alone with Alice. I love her I really do, but make sure you are there Lily.
Hugs, Dorcas
Dear Alice,
How dreadful that you had to wear robes that your mother picked out. It must have been horrible. So as it turns out, I can't come visit you in for two weeks in July. I can come for one week though. My mother decided that she needs time to bond with me and Petunia. We are going to spend a week at a spa being pampered. Supposedly it's supposed to be relaxing, but time alone with Petunia is never relaxing. I'll see you soon.
XOXO, Lily
Dear Dorcas,
I'm so sorry to hear that Alice bored you to the brink of death with shopping. I can say I won't be leaving you alone for two weeks with her, only one week. My mother told me that I can only go for one week. I'm sorry, but I tried to convince her otherwise. Unfortunately once my mother gets an idea into her head, there is no shifting it. I promise I will make it up to you though. Along with this letter is a huge bag of chocolate and biscuits. I'll see you soon.
XOXO, Lily
Dear Ginger,
It has been three weeks and you still have not replied to my letter. I thought I might try again. Optimism is my middle name. So, how is your summer? Mine's been fantastic, thanks for asking.
Yours, James

Dear Lily,
Please talk to me. It just slipped out. I promise I won't ever refer to someone using that term again. I'm sorry Lily.
Severus
Dear Lily,
I know you won't read this, but please understand that I never thought of you like that Lily. You are my best friend, my only true friend. Just, I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.
Severus
Dear Ginger,
I ran into Alice and Dorcas yesterday. They told me that you had just spent the week with them. Why didn't you tell me you were seeing Alice and Dorcas? In fact, why haven't you written me at all this summer? We could have all gone to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. It would have been fun. Hope your summer has been wonderful. I was wondering if you could help me tame my dragon, it really is getting out of control. Yours, James Potter, Go locate someone else to be disturbing with. Lily

Dear Lily,
It's been ages since I last heard from you, let alone saw you. My summer has been awful. Oh, don't make that face. It really has been horrendous. Other than when I saw you and Dorcas… and when I saw Frank…. And then when I saw Mary. Other than those few times, it has been atrocious. Do you know how many banquets and tea parties I've had to go to? Granted, I like dressing up, but honestly, 3 parties in the span of two days? All requiring different out fits? That is just excessive. How was the spa? Did you kill Petunia? Did you have one of those mud baths that I've heard muggles rave about? You should come to Diagon Alley with us on Wednesday. Mary, Dorcas, Frank and I are going to get our school supplies. Please come!
Kisses, Alice
Dear Alice,
I would love to come with you on Wednesday, but I can't. I have to go to my cousin's wedding. I'll see you soon at King's Cross. I have to go, my Mum is calling me. I have to go spend three hours in a car. I wish muggles knew how to apparate. I wish I was old enough to apparate.
XOXO, Lily
AN: So it's been awhile. I can only say that college is my life. I'm not sure how much I like this series of letters, but at the same time I like them. Who knows. Tell me what you think. Peace out Girl Scout.
