And the score is 3-0! The letters continue!
Severus,
That I have written a letter shows my response. I say we keep doing this. Since we know who we are we don't have to be afraid of the other finding out and since the magic is in effect we don't have to worry about spilling secrets. This is actually fun, I think.
Sirius
Sirius,
Okay then, pen friend.
Why did you end the story the way you did? That was extremely strange. I don't actually think it would happen in the real world. Though, not important.
What do you think Potter would say if he could read these letters? Do you even care?
Severus
Severus (writing to you from History),
I was bored with the story. I have problems with following through on things. That is why I am an instigator, not a start-to-finisher.
I don't give a canary as to what James thinks about this. But just for your imagination:
James: What the hell do you think you're doing, writing to Snivellus? Are you nuts? He's our worst enemy!
Remus: Shut up James. Maybe it's time to stop teasing him. Lily thinks so.
James: She thought so ever since we met on the train. However… (Evil grin)
Sirius: Give it up. She'll always think you are a hopeless git.
James: I love her! I will never stop trying, no matter what obstacles are between us.
Sirius and Remus: (Rolls eyes)
As you can see, James is crazy. We've been trying for four years to cure him. What do you want to be when you get out of school? I am going to be an Auror.
Sirius
Sirius,
Don't give a canary? What-never mind.
I am writing from Transfiguration. McGonagall is giving a lecture. I can see you, two rows in front of-/
In front of me. Don't mind the squiggle. McGonagall is watching. I am pretending to write notes. I am going to either be a teacher or a doctor. Wouldn't it be my luck that Potter ends up as one of my patients!
Severus
Severus (also writing from Transfiguration),
That would be hilarious. Remind me never to go to St. Mungo's after we graduate. I will be scared if you end up as my doctor. You might try to kill me.
Sirius
Sirius (writing to you from detention),
I must not pass notes in class.
I must not pass notes in class.

I blame this on you.
I blame this on you.
I blame this on you.

Severus (writing from Gryffindor tower),
You are not supposed to get caught.

Sirius
Sirius,
I still blame it on you.
I still blame it on you.
I still blame it on you.
Severus
Severus,
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care.
Sirius
Sirius,
Potter is here too.
Potter is here too.
Potter is here too.
SS
SS,
What are his lines?
What are his lines?
What are his lines?
Sirius
Sirius,
They are:
I will not hex Slytherins.
I will not hex Slytherins.
I will not hex Slytherins.
SS
Severus,
Are you out of detention yet? It's been two hours. Which Slytherin(s) was James hexing?
Sirius
Sirius,
Gee, who in the world do you think Potter was hexing? It was me.
Severus
Severus,
James told me that about five seconds before your letter appeared. He is wondering why I am still writing to you. I told him to shove off and now he thinks that my pen friend is a girl. Paper sigh.
Sirius
Sirius,
Let him think that. I don't care. How was life outside of detention?
Severus
Sev,
It was boring. I almost feel we are living for pranks and detention. Have you ever seen the lines we write in detention? "I will not dye Slytherins red and gold before a Quidditch tournament." or "I will no longer change Hufflepuffs into flobberworms." Honestly! They should be glad that we are practicing our spellwork. Then of course, when the lines weren't working, McGonagall started giving us more "creative" detention. Such as this:
To the Slytherins
A poem of how great you are by Sirius Black
O, great Slytherins,
O wonderful Slytherins
You really are great
You give us something to rise above
Something to berate
You help us with our spellwork
Make us get better faster in the hospital wing
Especially when you're next to us
And when the year is over
You race us to the Knight Bus
Needless to say, I failed this. But I did try!
Sirius
Sirius,
That was oh-so-very funny. I almost feel sorry for Minerva. She has to put up with you guys. And I think I was there when you did that detention, because I found this.
Why Gryffindors are Great
By Severus Snape
They take care of their own
Stopping fights when they get out of hand
Or at least try to
While they have their own little band
Not all of them follow their ways
True to his own path a Gryffindor stays
They really are loyal and sometimes even brave
But if I had to live with them my life I would stave
This is what McGonagall wrote about it:
Mr. Snape,
I appreciate your honesty, however I do wish that you would try harder to get along with the students in other houses, especially those in Gryffindor.
Sincerely,
Professor M. McGonagall
Don't think this means I like you guys or anything.
Severus
A/N: Enjoy! I like writing this. It really is fun!
