Lily
I don't think that putting my name into the competition is such a great idea. That's all there is to it. I think it's great if you put your name in. You'd do so good at it and I'd be cheering you on all the way. You weren't made head girl for nothing you know! You are so brave and everything. You are an expert when it comes to charms, better than anyone in the school, and you aren't afraid to do anything. You are so good on a broomstick that you scare me sometimes. You take dares and everything. I really want you to be chosen for our school.
But I am not cut out for it. I know I'm smart. I'm not going to brag about it but I know I get good marks. But that's not what they want. They want someone who isn't a thinker, or sensitive, or careful and cautious in every thing they do. I'm like that and they don't want people like that.
What they do want is 'marauder' type people. You do realize that, Lily, don't you? It's just what they're looking for- intelligent, daring troublemakers with Charisma. Everyone loves the 'Marauders' except the Slytherins, and even some of them don't mind them too much. The Gryffindor/Slytherin rivalry has gone back far, though, and it can't be helped. But all of the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws are in awe of Gryffindor anyway. I hate to face it, but if anyone is going to be on the team, the "Marauders" will. That's 4 already, and they are all Gryffindors. I can't think of who else though. Then there's always the other prefect boys/girls in the other houses too. Malcolm Brannet would be awesome. I'm not just saying that because I like him (a lot) either. He isn't just 7th year prefect for Hufflepuff, he is also everything they need ( like really smart, brave, daring captain of the Hufflepuff Quidditch Team). I really can see him being chosen. And look at all the other 7th years! Just the prefects alone! Well, I wouldn't consider the Slytherin Prefects- Snape doesn't have the charisma and he isn't very nice and doesn't work well in groups. Jeborah is scary, though, I don't want him to represent our school and I doubt the school wants him to represent them But the other Prefects are perfectly good people-Matthew, Anelia, and Phoebe. I want all of them to get picked. And then look at all of the other people who aren't prefects. They all deserve it and there has got to be someone out there we aren't thinking about. It just makes me feel small and unimportant. This whole tri-wizarding thing is stressful and I don't want to think about it.
What do you mean I'm not school spirit & participation oriented? I resent that comment Lily. I try to get involved as much as I can. I'm not on the Quidditch team because I'm not good, not because I'm not interested. I get involved in the games at least. And I'm a prefect. I didn't have to be one, but I have to be involved to pull off that title.
As for accents…I forgot to mention what I really like. You know I like Irish. And it's stupid that although I like French (It's so smooth and silky sounding), I like American boys better. Well, besides Swampwash brining in a whole variety ( I can't believe Swapmwash is coming! That's so far and new for our usual English matches). I just like the way American boys talk, especially the New York ones. I guess they just sound fun. And don't forget that we are British schoolgirls, American guys like British schoolgirls.
Last year was so much more fun than this year. This year everyone expects from you, and its harder to have fun. Now all this pressure from the ball is getting to me. See, Lily, I don't really want to go this year, but at the same time, I really do. You must know what I mean. It's my last year at Hogwarts and I want to go to the ball with someone. But nobody will go with me and it makes me not want to go at all. Stupid, isn't it?

Eveline,
No you can't have one! You mooching troll! It's my last chocolate frog and I'm not giving it to you!
Don't even think of telling her I said that. Or I'll tell her that you said they should go to the ball together! Geez, I was only joking around!
~ Desdemone
James,
How about I tell you nothing.
I don't mind being friends still, but if you want to know, ASK LILY!

James
Yes, I'll meet you there after the meeting. Sounds great to me, but maybe we should find out if Remus is even interested first. I presume he wants to, but maybe he doesn't. I really hope we can do something about it.
So what's wrong if you do like Lily? Shouldn't the Head Boy and the Head Girl go to the ball together. Besides, she's kind of cute and you know it. It's all over your face when you talk to her. Oh, wait, I mean when you argue with her. Which is what you were doing, of course. Sitting together at the back of the class arguing. Why would you talk to her? You aren't friends or anything. You aren't friends with Dezzie either, and you've been writing her notes all day. C'mon James, you sure talk to a lot of girls who aren't your friends!
Sirius
p.s. who are you going to ask then? I think I'm going to hide, the girls are going a little wild.
James,
Hey, I am feeling a little sick. I'm going back up to the common rooms. Do you mind taking notes for me in DADA? Just letting you know so you don't wonder where I am if I don't show up.
Remus
Hey Lily,
How are you? Aren't you excited? I just can't believe this day is going so well. First there was the Triwizarding thing and that was a real shock. It makes the whole year so much more interesting. Our grad year is going to be so perfect. I'm also so happy about the ball. Do you know who asked me? Malcolm just asked me and I didn't know what to say. Do you think he asked me because we're the prefects or do you think we actually likes me? I hope its the second one, I really do! Just thought I'd say something to you about it. I feel like this day is all one big dream. Who's have ever imagined our 7th year was going to turn out so great!?
See you at the meeting!
Pheobe
A/N we just want you to know that you have Lady S to blame for the lack of updates. She accepts full responsibility and apologizes profusely. It won't happen again (people snort) it won't! Really! Possibly 1 more chapter today even!
