A/N I am thinking we should start thanking people for reviewing…it seems like the decent thing to do, therefore, thank you to:

For being the lovely, wonderful, reviewing people they are!

Also, to gigi and unforgiven-sins, you said you were confused by the last letter, and by the James, Sirius part. I will do my best to explain, and then you tell me if A) you now understand or B) your even more confused or C)that wasn't even what you were confused about before… okay?

Well, Eveline is another friend of Dezzie and Lily, and that was her first letter entering the story. Being the silly girl she is, she didn't write much of a letter, and it may have seemed confusing when suddenly this brand new character popped up and started writing…

James was writing the letter before Eveline's, and then Sirius, because he's…Sirius…wrote that "James loves you, he wants you ba-" at the bottom to bug James. He didn't even know who James was writing to. Oh…and if you were confused just because James is writing to Dezzie, it will become clear (I hope) soon.

Just think of this whole thing as passing notes in class…except I keep thinking they probably have a way better method of passing them so that they don't get caught…I hate it when teachers intercept notes…and we'll pretend that the teachers aren't bright enough to realize that they could probably find a spell to detect notes being past…*realizes she's pointing out plot holes* Ahem. On to the story.

Oh, yeah, and if you have some comments about these letters…and you will, because it almost makes no sense until you hear my explanation…please do read the A/N at the bottom

Lily-

Trophy cleaning. You poor thing, all the Marauders? Terrible. Trophy cleaning isn't so bad. I don't mind polishing trophies, but if I had to listen to one of their stupid senseless conversations at the same time I would get so annoyed. I would end up throwing a really heavy trophy at them. They are so stupid, too. If they weren't so dumb they wouldn't get into trouble all the time. Notice how James got really defensive when you snickered at his secret passage conversation? That's all those guys know. Well, ok, they are pretty smart in all their subjects but that's just studying. And even though I think they do know a little more about the secret passages in the school, I don't think that takes brains really. They are boys and they think that knowing that stuff is going to make them look smarter. And they probably hear dit from someone else. I bet the grounds keeper told them, if anyone knows where secret passages are, it's him. They talk to him all the time. At least we were smart enough to figure out the secret passage on our own without second hand knowledge! Darnit! I just talk on and on about the Marauder's stupidity. What a waste pf space and ink. We already knew they were stupid before I wrote this letter.

He doesn't like me! Why would he like me? Besides, I don't like him, and I don't like Snape. I don't like either of them, I wish they'd stop it already. I am not going to go to the Halloween Ball. And even if I decide to go in the end, I'm not going with anyone at all. I wouldn't mind to go with certain people actually…like Malcolm, but he isn't going to ask me so there's no point in dreaming. Eveline just asked me in a letter if anyone asked me yet. Geez, why does it matter.

James passed me a note too. What does he want?!

I'm going to go now. I really have to take time to do that dreadful stuff they call schoolwork.

p.s. How was practice

p.p.s thought of any names?

Hello James,

I'm kind of busy right now. I have a lot of work to do so I don't think writing notes right now is all the sensible. I only write to Lily when I have to write a letter of any kind anyway. Like that Lily letter I was reading at breakfast. I don't know where everyone is. Maybe they are sneaking around in school tunnels to go to Hogsmeade or something. Oh yeah, how am I? Oh, I'm fine. How are you? Is there any one particular reason you are writing to me? Well anyway, maybe I'll talk to you sometime.

Desdemone

Eveline,

Yes, actually, I was going to ask if I could borrow those notes. Thanks.

We could go shopping Saturday as a group. I don't know if I'll dress up this year, or get festive at all, but I am looking forward to pigging out. I could do with some really good Halloween junk food. As for the ball, nobody asked me! I hope nobody does. I don't want to have to buy a dress, too much money that could be spent on pumpkin juice, chocolate frogs &butterbeer.

Talk to you later,

Desdemone

Dezzie!

Were you listening AT ALL during brekky?!?! You didn't seem the least bit excited!

A TRI-WIZARD TOURNAMENT!!!!!! At OUR SCHOOL!!! I am too excited for words about how excited I am!!!

You will enter, won't you, Dezzie? I plan to! I mean, girls can do just as good a job as boys can! Especially if you and I are those girls! Teams of five sounds intriguing! It gives everyone such a better chance at being chosen.

Did you see the Marauders faces light up when Dumbledore announced it? They looked like jack-o-lanterns- big grins and shining eyes. I nearly laughed aloud! They are such cocky fools, thinking immediately that they will not only be chosen, but win as well!

Potter came up to me and asked if I planned to enter. I don't know why he cares, but I told him that yes, in fact, I did plan to enter. He said he'd figured I would, and not to be too dissapointed if I didn't get chosen! I told him he should take his own advice. Then he said:

"Lily, must we bicker so? How about a truce?"

I told him that I wasn't aware we were waging war, and he began to list "all" the pranks him and his chummies had played on us. I retaliated by telling him all of the things we had done to get back at them. By this time, we had reached Charms, and just sat in the back and argued. So stop sending me strange looks, Dezzie, it's just some fighting- it's not as if I am sitting beside Potter by choice!

I got asked to the dance today; before I went into the Great Hall. Too bad the kid was in 5th year- I am just not the cradle robbing type. So it's not exactly cradle robing. But a 15 year old stranger? Nuh uh.

I am quite tempted to skip- hang on….haha! I have a Heads/Prefects meeting during Potions! So do you! Whee! S'prolly about the tournament. Only bad thing iabout it is no Quidditch. That is the ONLY bad aspect of it, however.

I love charms. So easy! And Prof. Flitwick doesn't seem to notice the ammount of note passing that goe son.

Speaking of which, why did Potter Write you? I'll bet he wants to know more about our secret passage findings.

I should go practice this charm.

Later,

Lily

Dez,

So, you think I have to have a motive to write to one of my friends?

In this case, your correct, I do have one.

Have you & Miss Evans found any secret passages? Or was she jus tlying to look brave &smart?

James Potter

Dez,

So, Saturday it is then.

Why is Lily sitting with James Potter?!?!

I always thought she HATED him…

-Eveline

Sirius,

Excited about the Tournament? We're going to go down in Hogwarts History! The Marauders and their daring leader, James Potter…

Ha ha ha!

You keep grinning at me and wiggling your eyebrows. Is it because eIam sitting beside Evans? Stop it you freak! We were arguing.

Full moon in 3 days….shit…will there be a full moon during the tournament??!?!?! That would be HORRIBLE! We'll have to ask Remus if there is one then.

James

A/N So I am sure there will be lots of questions/complaints about this. Okay, I am ready, send them our way, and I will answer with the help of Chelsea over the phone (her internet is down) I am not exactly sure when the 4th book said that the Tri-Wizard Tournament was banned…however, we will pretend that it wasn't now, or we'll call it something else. Okay? Now, this will become confusing in the next few letters, because it isn't set up as it was in the 4th book. Alright. Here are the reasons:

Dumbledore & Co. were late setting it up. They got behind schedule. Thus, the schools will all be putting their names in the goblet at different times, so that they don't waste any time waiting. So Hogwarts students put their names in after he announces, and then, when they arrive, the other schools put theirs in.

I know that it says TRI Wizard, and many people assume that TRI means 3 contestants. But WE are going to assume that they mean 3 Wizarding schools. Plus, teams of 5 just makes the plot SO NICE that we really don't want to change it. You'll see. I promise.

Quidditch- they were allowed to keep playing because Dumbledore wasn't exactly sure if the tournament would work out. He announced the cancellation of the sport when he announced the tournament.

Oh, and I am better today, thanks Chelsey.

Happy Easter everyone!
