A/N I am really sorry that it took me so long to post this chapter. I realize I said one every weekend…or thought that I would definitely post every weekend, and didn't mention it) but then a whole bunch of not-so-great things happened, and I didn't really feel like posting. However, I am back, and I promise, starting this weekend, I will try to get one (or more!) out every weekend…alright then… on with the story…
James
I feel so stupid now. I feel pretty bad, actually. Remus can't enter the competition at all! Don't you see that? The competition lasts all year! And its too dangerous. They'll never let him enter!
I can't believe I didn't even think about it. Remus looked pretty down all day. I thought it was just because it was so close, and you know how he gets around his time of the month ^_^. Its probably that too, but looka t him right now. Just turn in your seat and look at him. See? I feel awful. All morning, we were talking about the competition and he was so quiet. We completely ignore dhim. We've got to do soemthing. Maybe we could talk to Dumbledore. It's not right to exclude someone like that.
An argument,eh? Oh, that's all is it? Sure James, whatever you say. All that headboy talk, right?
Sirius
Eveline,
Apparently they were having an argument. Doesn't look like an argument. She does hate him, she talks bad about him all the time. I guess they're just having a head boy/girl talk. Or maybe one of those arguments where you giggle, flirt and laugh at the same time. I dunno.

James,
So I'm a friend am I?
This is very curious and suspicious indeed. All right then, we're friend snow. Of course, most friends talk to each other an dstuff. But this can be a different friendship. If we want to talk, we write and otherwise we can talk to each other through Lily or something.
Now about the other half of the letter. Leseeeee….Secret passages? Sure, we know lots of those things. Do you mean any of the ones we found within the last week? Or do you mean all of them put together? Why don't you just ask her?

Lily –
Yeah, sure I heard about the tournament. Sounds sort of interesting. Have fun, I hope you get chosen. You'' do great.
Awwwww, poor little guy! He worked up the guts to ask you? Oh well, if he's that bold he shouldn't have any trouble asking someone closer to his age then.
I don't really want to go to the meeting. I'll be surrounded by a bunch of hyperactive prefects all excited over some stupid competition. Remember when they ha done in 3rd years and they took all the 7th years to Durmstrang? All the guys were gone and our Quidditch teams were lacking all the good players. That was a terrible year. I don't like the Tri-Wizarding Competitions all that much. Except for meeting other people. And the cute guys with the accents! OK, I'm all set to meet some Americans and French boys. But the rest of it looks like a hassle.
James just wrote back to me. I don't know why. I never talk to him normally. He wanted to know if you really knew about all those tunnels you were bragging about. I gave him and indefinite answer, but I made it look like we did know all about all the secret passages in the school. Twits.
Eveline also just wrote to me, she wants to know hwy you're sitting together.

Dez,
Ha. Lily would kill you if she read that!!! I wouldn't tell her…and I am sur eone of those Chocolate Frogs I see sticking out of your knap-sack would help me keep my mouth closed…and if you don't care if I tell Lily, can I have one anyway?
EVELINE
p.s. Maybe Lily could go to the ball with James. Ha ha ha ha ha!!! DON'T tell her I said that!
Sirius, I agree.
I feel so bad about all of this. We're so…stupid. The poor guy looks so down, and I don't think its just because of the time of the month. How awful. If we get chosen, he'll have to sit at Hogwarts all alone while we go have adventures and all that.
We'll talk to Dumbledor after the Heads/Prefects meeting. You'll just have to wait by the gargoyle till the meeting is done, then come up. It must be some kind of discrimination. We could contact the "Werewolf Support Services" branch of the ministry and ask them…
Leave me alone. I don't like Evans you half-baked imbecile! We're not even friends, we just happen to be Head Boy & Head Girl. Geez.
James
Dez,
How about you tell me ALL of them?
Haven't we always been friends? I seem to recall sharing a compartment on the Hogwarts Express more than once…
James
Dezzie,
You are submitting you name, aren't you? Come on Dezzie, you have to! I know you aren't much of a school spirit & participation kind of person, but you have to! Your smart, intelligent, quick…come on, just submit your name! You'll regret it if you don't! Stuck at Hogwarts while I adventure (if I get in)! Just think some more before you completely nix the idea, okay?
I guess I fell kind of bad for refusing him, but your right, he'll be able to ask someone else if he could ask me.
Not ALL of the best Quidditch players were gone! I was there! James and Sirius were there! Pah. ALL of the best…..But as for your guys with accents…I dunno, Scottish accents always kind of rocked my socks. I'll never know how girls can be so tickles by English accents…sitting her listening to Potter talk about how many secret passages he's found, his accent isn't cute or nice or anything. No turn on. Those girls don't know what they're talking about!
Eveline has boys on the brain! Just because I am sitting here talking to Potter, doesn't mean I want him! She keeps grinning at me, puckering her lips and making kissing noises. Sometimes I wish she was hideously ugly and none of the boys paid any attention to her- then she wouldn't constantly assume that just because a girl is talking to a guy she likes him! Geez.
See you soon
Lily.
