Chapter 10
Sam,
Fine then. One day, you will be cursed, with one of
my more brilliant curses and then you won't be so
happy-go-lucky.
Lucius
My Queen,
We seem to have made
much progress. I had my firest ever 'civil conversation' (as
Remus put it) with Lily yesterday. I asked her about the Charms
homework and quoted some stuff Remus said about it and she seemed
suitably impressed. Our conversation lasted exactly 4 minutes and 37
seconds. (No Sirius. Counting the seconds does not make me desperate.
You just don't understand true love.) Anyway, Peter pointed out
that this is a record in the recent days (our normal conversations
consisting of 'Lily! Will you go out with me this weekend?' and
'No Pothead, I won't' which lasts about 58 seconds all
together.)
I have considered your advice and extended my pants. I
have also started doing my laundery more often and have learned a new
spell that cleans my robes, socks, and shoes. It's very efficient
(even if it took me several failed tries and forever to master it. )
What's next?
Your Excited Vassel,
James
Potter

Dear
Anna,
I understand that you are trying to help, but it's not such
a simple thing. Yes, I know Remus Lupin. He happens to be the smart
person in the group of four that torment me.
I
remain,
Severus
Dear Anna,
I have a confession. Or two.
You know when I said that we are the only group of four boys in
Gryffindor. It was true. We are the only group of four boys. And,
well, that person in potions? His name is Severus Snape.
Your
Guilty Friend,
Remus
Lupin

Diet,
I
do have the displeasure of knowing Lucy, brilliant name by your
friend. I have just informed James after he read his letter... yeah
he's going to be helping me. 'Quintople'... a lovely idea. And of
coarse your sense of humor is rather... dare I say it? Brilliant. It
will be accoplished by noon today... if not right after 9am!
Signed
Sealed Delivered, (as the muggles say)
Sirius
PS: No, next will
be a motorcycle... just learned what those things were and I want
one!
Dear Elodie,
Oh, wow. Your friend Sam? Can you please
tell her to stop giving James ideas? Today, when I opened my bag, a
bunch of hearts fluttered out and started circling my head and
singing. They were terrible singers too.
About James, I guess he's
cute because a lot of girls like him. I think he's annoying though.
That's why I won't go out with him. Also, he sort of ruined my
friendship with my former best friend. He's so cruel to him!
Feeling
a bit sad.
Signed and Sealed,
Lily
