Chapter 15~Letters and Piracy

Wednesday ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear James,
Yesterday was good - your comments kept me amused! At least we got a few moments together at the end. I never thought I'd be writing this - remember that argument we had after the O.W.Ls? - But I really miss you. Write back soon.
Lots of love,
From
xLilyx

Dear Lily,
You must be joking about yesterday! It was hilariously boring. The few moments that we had together were good, there must be something about those trees - we always seem to end up kissing there! I certainly do remember that argument. When you walked away I said something like 'What is it with her?' and Sirius told me that you thought I was conceited. You're missing me? Ahh, sweet. I'm missing you too flower. Back to school soon anyway.
See you soon,
Love from
JamesX

Thursday ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear James,
Don't call me flower! Anything but that! Petunia just told mum and dad her 'wonderful' news - she's marrying Vernon! I don't think that they were too happy about it. I did think that you were being conceited before - Sirius got something right. Still missing you, come and visit tomorrow?
Love from
XLilyx

Dear Tiger Lily,
I'd be delighted to come and visit you tomorrow. I'll pick you up at ten. Where do you want to go? Still missing you too.
Ever yours,
JamesX

Dear Jamie,
Tiger Lily? Hehe. Can't wait till tomorrow. We'll decide where to go when you get here. Petunia's skulking around the house because Vernon's gone on some business trip. Maybe we can turf her out and get some time alone anyway.
See you tomorrow,
All my love,
XLilyx Saturday ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Tiger Lily,
Yesterday was brilliant. That Dementor thing got rid of your sister - serves her right for ear wigging on our conversation. Only one more day before school! The N.E.W.Ts and the Quidditch Cup Final are far too close for my liking.
See you soon,
Love and Kisses,
JamesX

James met Lily and they arrived at Platform 9¾ together. They found a compartment and were joined by

Sirius, Laura, Remus and Reeni. Lily sat in-between Laura and Reeni, opposite James. Peter was somewhere

else. The three Marauders were trying to plan their end of school prank extravaganza.

"Methinks I has a plan!"

"Ye be thinkin' and talkin' in Pirate mode Siri."

"Arrr, that be so Jamesie."

"Well, methinks ye should be stoppin' Siri, it ain't Pirate Day!"

"Arrr, mebbe I will."

"That be good, stop now before I challenge ye to a sword fight."

"Arrr, I be a good swordsman."

"Ye would end up walking yonder plank and takin' the plunge into Davy Jones' locker."

"Shut up talking in Pirate mode. What's with the Pirate thing anyway?"

"Alas! I 'ave no means of explanation, my friend."

"I 'as. I be Captain James Potter and I 'as me own ship. Siri here works as a deck scrubber."

Lily gigged, as Sirius spoke. "I? A deck scrubber? How dare ye!"

Remus glared at Lily. "Lily, don't encourage them. We 'as - "

"Oh we 'as, 'as we?"

"I mean we have got planning to do. This has to be a memorable Hogwarts event. It can't be a half arsed

attempt."

"What be wrong with plannin' in Pirate talk, eh?"

"Arrr, methinks we should stop now deck scrubber Siri. It be gettin' on me nerves."

"I be carryin' on."

Remus sighed. "Maybe we should just forget about it then." He swapped seats with Lily and talked to Reeni

instead. Lily hugged James and they sat together, talking in whispers. Sirius and Laura carried on talking in

Pirate mode.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Marauders (minus annoying Peter) started planning their prank later on in the week, in-between revision

for their N.E.W.Ts and Quidditch practises. The Quidditch final - Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw - was approaching,

meaning that James had very little free time.

Updated on Monday again! Thank you to Rema, NTonks1, J.E.A.R.Potter, LJstagflower4e/JCtigerwolf4e and Ti who reviewed Chapter 14. To Ti, who reviewed Chapter 13 and asked if Tea was a food, it's not really a food. Sometimes people say Tea instead of Dinner, I don't know why. Happy Christmas! Please give me a present for Christmas - a fanfiction review! Please, please review! Thanks!
