James stared at Lily before closing the book and pushing it forward along with the notes they had read previously.
"Well, is it in there?" asked James, gesturing to the box which was closer to Lily. She lifted the lid and shifted about an inch of memorabilia out of the way and pulled out the next journal.
"Here it is," she said quietly, opening to the first entry.
"Here we go," James muttered as Lily began to read.

Hullo! Welcome to the new year! And if anything did happen last night, I wrote about it in the last entry, dated December 31,1973.
Since it is midnight and one minute, nothing has happened today and if it has I wrote about it in the last entry, and stuff.
Anyway, I'll try and write as soon as possible.
Love,

I almost wrote 1973. I can't believe that I'll be 14 in a few months, and Lily is turning 14 in 25 days or so.
So yea…let's hope we can actually throw a good birthday party this year and not have it be a total fail like last year or whatever.
Anywho, I should really start planning that soon.

Hullo again.
I just had the worst dream ever.
I was sitting in Divination when all of the sudden, Barty Crouch Jr. (who is in my year by the way) was in court being tried for being a Death Eater. See I fell asleep during Mopsus's talking, again. I've done it before, but this time I woke up screaming and he immediately looked at me with his freaky blind white eyes and just said one word, "Talk."
So I had to make up a lie to cover it up. I think I said something about having Sirius dancing on Christmas or something. James just stared at me and Lily looked worried to no end.
"What?" I demanded before trying to rush out of the room but Mopsus made the doors close, locking us all in and he said, "If you don't tell us of your dream at this very moment, I will not let any of you out of this room."
I froze, there was no way I could stay there, and there was no way I could tell anyone.
"Do I have to tell everyone?" I asked.
"Yes," he answered. "You all might want to get comfortable." And to prove his point he sat down on his chair and sighed, crossing his arms. "Go on."
It took a lot of effort not to make a rude hand sign at him, seeing as he's blind and all.
"What if it was in the future?" I asked, remembering what he had said.
"Then you'll have to tell it."
Merlin, I was so happy that I hadn't dreamed of Lily and James dying.
"And that reoccurring one too."
"How'd you know about that Professor?" I asked.
"Dear, please continue, and tell."
"Fine, I dreamed about my friends dying."
"A little more specific, please."
"I dreamed about Lily and James dying and then one I just had now was about Bartimus Crouch in court."
That made everyone silent. Deathly silent. "Why was he in court?" asked Mopsus, leaning forward in his chair.
I looked up at the boy in mention. "You do realize that he is in this room at the moment Professor and you once told me that one should not know their own future," I answered curtly.
He nodded, leaning back in his chair. "So, tell it in a riddle," he answered, knowing that Ravenclaws were in the room and would try and figure it out.
I thought for a moment before coming up with this:
The end is and thou art hungry.
Mopsus nodded like he knew what was going on, but everyone else stared at me.
"YOU SOUND INSANE!" yelled Sirius, crossing his arms and standing up. "WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?"
"Language Mr. Black," Mopsus reprimanded. "You are to serve detention with Ms. Potter this Saturday at 5:00 A.M. in the Owlry to clean up the mess that owls make. Without magic."
"Why me?" I demanded. "What have I done!"
"It is for what you will do, and because of what you just did," he answered.
"What if I chose not to do this thing!" I yelled.
"Then you shall be a very wise person, Ms. Potter. Class dismissed!"
That moment I accidentally dropped an ink pot on Professor Flitwick when I got to the stairs.
I told him I had already gotten detention with Mopsus in the Owlry for that reason.
He didn't quite believe me and stormed off to Mopsus's room to vent.
I wouldn't blame him. Any kid wouldn't want to do two detentions.

So as you may or may not know, today I had to do detention with Mr. Sirius Black. Which was horrible. In the Owlry, without magic.
So I showed up at 5:00 A.M. directly on the ball and Sirius showed up an hour late. Professor Mopsus, who was there, waiting for us, told him that he just earned the both of us another detention at the same time the next day and everyday following that unless he got his butt up at the correct time.
I have to say, it was good of Mopsus to step in like that, but maybe he could, ya, know, NOT INCLUDE ME IN THAT DECISION! Or whatever you want to call it.
So anyway, after we finally got started (Mopsus produced a bucket and rags and toothbrushes and then left telling us that we couldn't leave until at least the top floor was done)
So Sirius said, after he had left, "You'd think we were caught doing it in his room," he muttered.
I blushed, as I have had the dream where the two of us were alone in his room. I mean Mopsus's room. Not Sirius's. That would be far too serious.
Anyway.
"No, we'd have to have almost killed someone to get this kind of treatment."
Harry, according to one of my dreams yesterday, had gotten similar treatment from Snape in his sixth year for some reason. For almost killing Draco Malfoy. Can't say he didn't deserve it. Honestly.
Anyway. I've got to go, Mopsus will probably be back soon, and Sirius is yelling at me to stop writing away in here during our break.
I'm going to die.

LATER:
It's nearly supper time and we just barely got the floor done. Oh god, this is going to take forever.
Didn't it occur to him that maybe this wasn't the most brilliant idea? Wait, I have one.

So today I showed up early for detention. Sirius showed up late as usual and Mopsus left us the bucket.
So just as Sirius was bending down to grab the rags and start cleaning, I reached out and grabbed his hand. At least he stopped and didn't make any snarky remarks because Mopsus wasn't out of range by then.
"What?" he hissed, dropping the rag back into the bucket.
"Magic," I winked.
I had figured it out. Mopsus never intended for us to have to clean the entire Owlry by ourselves, he wanted to see if we could figure it out.
So I stood up in the middle of the Owlry with all those owls staring at me and Sirius looking at me with a funny expression on his face. "It has to be done, and it hasn't been done, but it will be done, and because of what has been done."
All of the sudden, our wands appeared on the floor in front of me (he had taken them away, claiming they would return once we finished). I picked them up and then proceeded to Scorgify the whole place. Sirius just stared at me for a moment before helping too.
In that moment, I could see why a girl could like him.
But just not me.
Jen
P.S. Why would we even date in seventh year? Lily and Snape have a better chance at being romantically involved than we do!
