CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT:
In Which More Letters Are Written
You're leaving me here, dear
Alone with all your letters
You're letting it go, no
Like innocence and feathers
Jaclyn,
I wish you would write me. I worry about you. We all do. Please talk to me. It's not good to stay shut up in a house for two months. You need to get out.
Give me a ring if you'd rather do that than write.

Lily,
My mom helped me make these. They're double choc---
Lily,
How are you?---
Lily,
I hope you like---
Evans,
Here's some cookies.

Dearest Lilith,
I will be in the country for a week before you are to return to Hogwarts. I am hoping to be able to visit you in the time.
Much love,
Jacques

Katie,
Jacques is coming to visit Lily. As cute as he is, it can only mean trouble. Don't tell James.
By the way, have you heard from Jaclyn lately?
Jess
xoxox
Potter,
Thanks.
Evans

Katie,
We've got problems. You know how Jaclyn's always had a little extra cushioning – not fat, but cute? Well, it's gone – all of it. She's hardly eaten in weeks. We've practically had to force food on her. We need to do an intervention. Get everyone over here soon, okay?
Jamie
xoxox
Katie,
Have you heard from Jaclyn? She won't answer any of my letters.
I'm worried about her.
Padfoot
xoxox
Katie,
I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Worry about Lily.
Jaclyn
xoxox
Jacques,
I have to go out of town that week. I'm going to visit my friend Jaclyn. She is going through a hard time right now and she needs us. Sorry.
Your Friend,
Lily
xoxox
Jess,
Nope, no news from Jaclyn. Jamie said she hasn't been eating, though. Lily and I are heading over there the night before we leave for school. If you can make it that'd be helpful.
Lily told Jacques she'd be out of town that week, so hopefully he won't come.
Katie

Jamie,
I wish I had the courage to do this is person, but you know how I am. I sometimes wonder if I really am supposed to be in Gryffindor. Anyway, these past few months have been great – amazing, in fact. It's been the best time of my life, and I will never forget it.
But something has been bothering me lately. Something has kept me up at night – something that I've needed to say for a while.
I love you.
Pete

Katie,
I can't get there on my own. Can I Floo to your house the night before?
Jess
xoxox
Sirius,
She isn't talking to us much either. Jamie says she hasn't been eating. We're heading over there the night before we leave for school. Don't come. It's going to be a girls' night to cheer Jaclyn and Lily up, so stay out, you hear me?
Katie
xoxox
Padfoot,
I think that I---
Moony,
You're the most feminine of the group and the best at giving advice. I need help right now.
I think that I love Lily.
Prongs.
xoxox
Lily,
I'm sorry my last letter was horrid. I just really didn't know what to say. I wanted to make sure you're okay. So, yeah. My mum made those cookies. She put in some extra chocolate. It's Honeydukes and she cut it up for you. I really hope you liked them, but I helped so they're probably no good.
I hope you're alright. Only three more days til school. Can't wait to see you.
James.
xoxox
Dearest Lilith,
My heart is sore from this news. I think of you hourly. I would hope you are thinking of me. That would please me greatly.
Undying Love,
Jacques
xoxox
Prongs,
Well, that's no surprise. We already knew that.
You need my advice?
Moony

Author's Note: End of very short chapter. I debated adding in the next part, but I think I'm gonna make it longer, so you won't mind. Lol. Love, ya'll! Please review!
