Letters from the Order
November 1979
[A note from Sirius Black to Emilia Withers]
James' parents died this week. I'm going to be staying with Lily while he gets their affairs in order.
December 1979
Em,
I'm going to be spending Christmas with Fabian this year. Mum says she's going to stay with Aunt Nora for a while and I wanted to check you would be ok with just Remus? Are you moving into Dad's full-time now that you've closed the shop?
Also, have you seen Scratchers recently? His food bowl hasn't been touched recently, and I'm a bit worried he might have upped-and-left.
Let me know,
Cass
January 1980
Em,
I hope you're well. I'm sorry I missed another New Year, but hopefully this time next year everything will be better?
I should be back by the end of the month.
Have you noticed anything strange about Moony recently? He seems...twitchy?
In desperate need of a break,
Sirius
February 1980
Hullo Em,
Thank you for passing along those apple turnovers through James. I feel like these cravings are going to drive me up the wall soon.
Why does nobody talk about how horrible pregnancy is? At first, I felt like I was glowing, but now, I just feel fat constantly and like crying constantly. Mum's tried to be helpful with the advice, but it's getting harder to stay in contact with her. Have you got any good pregnancy books? Maybe that will help.
Hope you're staying safe,
Lily
March 1980
[A note passed from James Potter to Remus Lupin]
Lily's parents died last night. Can you let Cass know?
March 1980
Cass,
I've just got my orders from Albus. Could you please keep an eye on Em for me?
I've not told her about it yet, but I'll speak to her soon.
The thing we spoke about before - could you keep it under your hat for just now? The timing isn't right.
Stay safe,
Remus
