A/N: I had no idea where I was going with this as I was writing it. Not positive that it ends up making sense...


Sugar Quills – Quills are used to write at Hogwarts. So this challenge is do something written.

Dear James,

The strangest thing happened today, you wouldn't believe it.

Well, I was in the Dining Hall at dinner – late as of course you know I'd be, what with exams coming up so soon I got carried away studying and lost track of the time and- but that's not the point. Anyway, I was in the Dining Hall. On my own, mind. I mean, obviously not on my own because there were other people there, of course, but none of our friends or anything, no one I was really sitting with or talking to. So, there I am 'on my own', and this girl comes up to me – first or second year, Hufflepuff, I've never met her in my life (and don't start with a lecture now on how I should know all the people at Hogwarts – just because I'm Head Girl doesn't mean I have to know everyone. Just because you take your Head Boy duties thjat far doesn't mean I have to too.) and she hands me this slip of paper, a napkin, I think. And on the paper it says:

Missed you at dinner. And breakfast. And lunch.
Please come meet me by the portrait of the fruit bowl later.
We haven't shared one meal today and I want my last meal to be with you.

Morbidity aside, I thought it was kind of sweet. So I trotted along to the fruit bowl portrait and loitered there for a while. And then curiosity got the better of me and did a bit of snooping and, lo-and-behold! A kitchen! I was offered lots of food (which I gratefully accepted) and then, when I asked, parchment and a quill. And so I wrote all of this down.

If you receive this letter, firstly, thank you for the good advice. Free food is much appreciated. Secondly, on the back of this you will see a detention slip. I've been avoiding you all day because I saw you hex Jocelyn Proot from behind on the way back from dinner last night. That was entirely unnecessary. Just because her boyfriend bought her the brooch that I liked before you could get it for me is no reason to give her puss-filled growths that large or in that location.

Enjoy your detention!

P.S. Think of this as the aspect of Head duties that I can be thorough with!
