Dear Dad,

I hope you are recovering well. Well it was Lily Evans' birthday this week. We pranked her. She deserved it. She's been a right miserable bit, recently. I gave her a spider for a present just like when I was six… Remember Machala?

The weather was really cold. The grounds are still covered in snow and the Black Lake is completely frozen so me and the guys decided to slide around on it – don't tell mum. It was so much fun. I went to Frank's dad's funeral. It was a shame you weren't well enough to come. Mum said you are looking better though.

The polyjuice potion is going well. Remus is excellent at potions. Shouldn't be long now. A couple of days according to Remus. Sirius and I have been spying on the S. prefects. Nothing much – Malfoy and Black were just making out but Rosier and Burke were talking about what they would do if they found a muggle-born out of bed after curfew. I've asked Remus to warn Evans. She'd never listen to me. The Lestrange brothers were arguing. Something to do with their father – he made them get something on their arms. I don't really know what they were talking about but whatever it was, it was apparently itchy. Any ideas?

Astrix Alixate has offered to me train. He's the Quidditch Captain – he says he wants me on the team next year.

Love James xxx
