Summer
Dear Severus,
Hawii's great! Tunie says she hates the sun because she gets burned easily, but I love it! I showed my dad the exploding snap game you gave me for my birthday (thanks again by the way, I love it!) and he won't stop pestering me to play. Mum made me leave my wand at home, which I guess is a good thing, that way I'm not tempted to use it.
It's nice to spend the holidays with my family after not seeing them for so long. Turns out Dad had quit his second job and mums got a part time one as a receptionist in a primary school down the road from us. She said she needed a change and its easier for her and dad now. I'm glad dads only got one job now, he smiles more.
Tunie's told me that one of her teachers said that she should become a tutor to kids who need help with school. Before we left she put up flyers all around town and the village hall and had a few takers. She's starting it when we get back next week with this boy from Smeltings (muggle school).
I hope this letter reaches you soon, only a week left till we are back at Hogwarts! Can you believe we are already going into our second year?!
Love, Lily
P.S. How's are you doing with Slughorn project? You're working with Pikitis right? I hope he's pulling his weight and not making you write out everything.

Dearst Lily,
I have painstakingly spent the last few days using my blood, sweat and tears writing my half of the essay that you so desperately need. No need to read it, It know it's perfect. How is your holiday? I do hope you are enjoying it, I myself am attending the regional final Quidditch match between the Falmouth Falcons and the Wimbourne Wasps.
I look forward to seeing you soon,
James.

Potter,
I read through your half of the essay and I have to say...complete rubbish! Did you even read the book I gave you on Poisons and their antidotes?! For one you can't cure an Ailhotsy Draught with a Drought of peace. You need Glumbumble treacle. A Bezoar is found in a goats stomach not a CATS! Where did you ever get that from? Not to mention the spelling errors all the way through it.
I have corrected it now, so no need to send another one over. Besides, it seemed to take you all summer to write a parchment, we'll likely be in our seventh year by the time we hand it in.
I would say it was a pleasure working with you, but it really wasn't.
Lily

Hiya James!
I can't believe September is right around the corner, I am so beyond ready to get back to Hogwarts. I'm going mad here and ever since I got back, mums set the damn house elf to tail me wherever I go, can't even go for a piss without the damn thing there.
Make sure to get your broom back from Dumbledore and don't you dare get the second years banned from Quidditch this time!
See you on the train,
Sirius,
P.s. Have you heard from Peter? He hasn't replied to any of my letters.

Dear Lily,
I'm not sure why I am writing this letter, I'll be seeing you the day after tomorrow. It sounds like you enjoyed your holiday. I finished the whole essay the first week of summer. Pikitis sent me his half and it was so dim-witted that I threw it away. But don't worry about Slughorn finding out, I just misspelled a couple of words and used my left hand to write with for Pikitis's half, I also mixed up the drought of peace with Living Death so Slughorn thinks it's just stupid enough to be his.
I got my letter for the second year, looks like we are studying human transformations, I just picked up our new books and they are quite interesting. We can discuss them when you get back.
See you soon,
Severus

Dear Peter,
I thought you didn't get my letter but Sirius told me you haven't been writing back to him either. Even Remus hasn't heard from you. Are you ok? We all worried.
Please write back soon,
James

Dear Peter,
I got a rather distressing letter from James telling me that you had been kidnapped or killed, he wasn't sure which one. I'm sure he's exaggerating but one can't help but let the mind wonder. Let us know your ok.
Remus

Dear Remus,
Happy Birthday! Twelve eh? What an age. Hope you had a good one and see you in three days time. You know I think I've forgotten what you look like after all this time.
Lots of Hugs and butterfly kisses
Sirius.

Dear Sirius,
It's only been a month, how could you have already forgotten what I look like!? Anyhow, thanks for the Gobstones set! Hope you're not getting too down at home, just remember, only three more days.
Remus

Dear Remus,
Been looking for a birthday present for you in diagonally, I went in to get some pellets for Jupiter (my owl) and then it struck me, quite literally. Happy Birthday mate, see you soon!
James

Dear James,
This way too much! I can't possibly take this. I mean an owl!? James you're mad. I still can't believe it. By the way, I've named her Gwenog after the captain of the HolyHead Harpies. I caught her ripping my Quidditch through the ages book and she had a page in her mouth with a picture of Gwenog on it. So it's like she choose her own name.
Thanks again,
Remus

Dear Remus, James and Sirius
Sorry for not writing but, and please don't laugh. My dad's giving me extra lessons. He saw the half of Slughorn's essay that I did and went berserk. I've barley seen the outside, I think he's petrified that I might be a squib and let face it, I probably am. Hopefully I'll see you on the train.
It's ok if you don't want to hang out anymore, who wants a squib as a friend? Haha
Peter

Dear nitwit,
I call you nitwit not because you're not the best in class but because you think for some reason that you are squib. Do you really think that you'd be in Hogwarts if they thought you were a lost cause? And even if you where a squib we would still be mates! And don't argue, you are one of us!
I WILL see you on the train tomorrow!
Sirius
P.s. James agreed that you are a nitwit
A/N: Very short chapter so I'm posting two. Hope you enjoy, please review.
