A/N: Next chappie, right here!

Previously: Lily caught James snogging Arlene Duff, a Ravenclaw 7th year. Lily and Sirius decided to "fake" a relationship to get back at James.

Summary: Lily Evans. James Potter. And it's always easier to write your feelings than say them.

Disclaimer: I'm not J. K. R. I know, I know, such a disappointment. It hurts me, too. But, unfortunately, Ms. Rowling is the one who owns Harry Potter. Not me. Unfortunately.

Well, on with the story!

x.x.x

Evans-

Oh, so you are mad at me for cheating? What about you and Sirius, huh?

[James]

x.x.x

Potter-

The fuck are you talking about? I may be dating him now, but certainly not before I caught you snogging that whore.

{Lily}

x.x.x

Evans-

YOU'RE DATING HIM?

[James]

x.x.x

Potter-

Duh.

{Lily}

x.x.x

Lily-

I just accused you because I found his letters addressing you "love" and you guys flirting. And, may I point out, before we broke up.

[James]

x.x.x

Potter-

By now, you should know that Sirius flirts with anyone and everyone.

And it's Evans to you, Potter.

{Lily}

x.x.x

Evans-

Fine then. Fuck around with Sirius. But don't come running to me when he breaks your heart.

[James]

x.x.x

Potter-

You know, I really could have fallen in love with you. I could have. But you…you couldn't deflate that arrogant, conceited head of yours enough to see what we had. And this will come back to haunt you.

Watch your back, Potter.

{Lily}

x.x.x

Black-

What the fuck? You decide to date my girlfriend literally five minutes after we break up? You asshole. What happened to the Marauders? They don't matter, huh?

[James]

x.x.x

Potter-

First: she's my girlfriend, not yours. Second…well, I decided she didn't deserve what you did to her. She was screwed up, mate. You really are a heartless bastard.

●Sirius●

x.x.x

Remus, Peter~

I would really reconsider your friendship with James Potter. Why, you ask? Well…

Lily caught him snogging Arlene Duff. (You know, the seventh year Ravenclaw? I'm sure you've heard her reputation.)

Sirius tipped her off to this. Lily and Sirius are now dating. (Although, if you trust me, I'll give you a few more details. It's not as simple as it seems.)

I beg you, reconsider. Lily came back crying and hurt. She trusted James. And he…he obviously didn't realize that actions have consequences.

Thank you. Tell no one I wrote these.

x.x.x

Black~

Was it really necessary to wake us up at 5:30 am on a broomstick singing Celestina Warbeck? First of all – way too early, and second – while Lily was pleased by the gesture, she doesn't know a lot of magical bands. Next time, try Led Zeppelin or Elton John.

Although, I'm sure she appreciated the bare chest.

~Annie

x.x.x

Annie-

Thanks for the tip.

And I bet she did…no one can resist.

●Sirius●

x.x.x

Annabelle-

Are you sure James did that? It doesn't sound like him. Let me go ask him.

He says he didn't...but he was feeling up Arlene Duff when I asked him…so I think you're right. I can't believe it. That's…well, give Lily my apologies. He's obviously not worth it.

-Remus Lupin

x.x.x

Annabelle-

James said he didn't, but Remus said he did. I…don't know. I obviously feel bad for Lily but…I'm just going to stay out of it. James seems to be hurting, too, he's just…hiding it.

Sorry,

.peter pettigrew

x.x.x

James-

You haven't written me since Christmas Break! I'm offended, child.

How's Quidditch going? Did you win the match you were going on about?

Honestly, Charlus. Is it impossible to scold your son?

He doesn't need it, dear. He's 16. He can go a few months without writing.

And ignore all my letters?

Well…I'm sure he's been busy.

"Busy" is a good description. Too busy to write to your dear aging parents, Jamie-boy?'

You're the one that named him, darling. And you can't even use his name?

You know I'm teasing, Charlus.

Of course I do, Dorea. So…any girls, James?

Ooh, yes. What about that girl you mentioned to Remus over Christmas break? Did you ask her out?

Have you kissed her?

Remember, use protection. Safe sex is important.

Darling, I'm sure he doesn't want to talk about that.

Either way, he needs to know. Would he rather I sent a howler with that information?

You wouldn't.

I would. He's had enough laughs at the professors; they should get one at him.

Good one. Although I'd feel bad for our dearest son.

Write back soon, Jamie-poo!

And tell us about this red-headed girl of yours!

Love,

Mum (and Dad!)

x.x.x

Mum, Dad-

I don't want to talk about her.

[James]

Hey guys. It's Sirius. I might have…intercepted James' letter. I needed to explain.

James asked Lily out…like, two weeks ago. They went on two dates.

Then, I caught James snogging Arlene Duff. She's…well, she'll shag anyone (and probably has shagged everyone).

I tipped off Lily and she caught them too. She broke up with him. She asked for my help in showing that she's over him. Now we are "dating."

Also, Lily's parents were killed in a (suspected) Death Eater raid about two weeks ago. I was wondering if she could stay at your house with me. If it works out like that. We've talked about where she will stay and she says she'll ask her (Muggle) sister. But from what I've headed, her sister is like a Muggle Death Eater. She hates anything and everything magical. She calls her sister a freak.

Thanks, Mum and Dad!

Sirius●

x.x.x

James-

Really? Do you have something to tell us?

Love, Mum and Dad

x.x.x

Sirius-

Thanks. Although we aren't sure we approve of the whole "I-want-to-get-back-at-my-ex-so-I'll-date-his-best-friend" thing.

And of course Lily can stay!

Love,

Mum and Dad

x.x.x

Lily-

I know you don't trust me. You have every right not to.

I've said I'm sorry, and I understand that you won't forgive me. But, Lily, it hurts every day not to see you and laugh with you. By now the whole school knows about you and Potter breaking up and you and Black getting together.

And honestly, I don't understand. I told you Potter would hurt you and break your heart. And, tell me, how exactly is Black better? You two got together the day after you and Potter broke up.

And hanging out with that crowd will only have bad consequences. I've told you again and again that Lupin is a werewolf. A werewolf, for Merlin's sake! You could be killed!

Don't believe me? Ask him.

-S. Snape

x.x.x

Snape-

You always criticize James, but you're just as bad. You're a hypocrite. A complete and utter hypocrite. And you know what's worse? You don't realize it. At least James knows he's mean.

And you know what? I don't care what you say about Remus. So what if he is a werewolf? So he can't control himself one night a month? That's a lot better than most people at this school. Some people can't control themselves all the time (I'm looking at you, Snape). At least be original. Mudblood is so overused.

{Lily}

PS- And I think I will ask him.

x.x.x

Mum, Dad-

No….why?

[James]

x.x.x

James-

Nothing involving a cheating on a certain redhead?

Mum

x.x.x

Mum-

WHO TOLD YOU THAT?

[James]

x.x.x

James-

It might have been Sirius. We can write to him too, you know.

Mum

PS- We don't approve. Just so you know. And disobey us – you might find a howler lecturing you about safe sex sometime. In the Great Hall. With everybody watching. Oh, we'd do it, alright. Lily sounds like a very sweet girl.

x.x.x

Mum-

Dammit, Mum! You don't understand! It's a lot more complicated than you think!

[James]

x.x.x

James-

Then tell me how it is.

Mum

x.x.x

Mum-

No.

[James]

x.x.x

James-

Well, then. One howler about safe sex coming your way. You should get it tomorrow morning.

Lovingly,

Mum.

A/N: I've been trying to write longer chapters. They're not very long, but because they are essentially dialogue, I think they're pretty good. Also, it's hard to get a sense of time here, so I've made the following "chart:"

Between Hogwarts and Home – 1-2 days

Within Hogwarts – about an hour (depends on whether or not they are in class or doing homework or something)

Thanks for reading! Please R & R!

Also: I need a beta. Like, now. So, if anyone can – please volunteer! I would be forever grateful!

Next: Lily finds out a secret and begins to speak, once more, to someone who hurt her. Dorea Potter sends a howler to James.
