Dear Diary,
I now confess that I, Lily Evans, like James Potter. But that was the only time you will ever hear me say it. I don't even mean as a boyfriend, though he's great in that department too. I mean that I like his…personality. I laugh at his jokes, I talk to him without arguing, I flirt with him and I spend time with him when I don't have to. Yes, it's true; I have become friends with James Potter.
It does work out quite well actually. Now the Marauders, Vicki, Eva and I all hang out together. Eva gets to spend time with Remus, Vicki gets to spend time with Sirius and I get to spend time with Remus and James.
Now if only Severus and the Marauders could get along, my friendship troubles would be over. I don't see him as much as I'd like to but when I do see him it's a chance for both of us to relax. Vicki and Eva are great but I'll never have a friend like Severus Snape. He's been there with me in any way he could. I know that, no matter what, Sev will always be on my side. He'll always be there for me.
The year is progressing faster than ever - Christmas is long gone and Easter has passed. Soon it will be time to sit our NEWTs and then it'll be graduation. Then we'll be off, into the real world and away from the safe haven that Hogwarts has been. War is coming, it's inevitable and the fact must simply be accepted. People have started going missing and being found dead days later. Even the Muggles know that a war has begun, although they don't know the nature of it. We are up against something that none of us really know how to face. We are up against Death.
