October 29th – Daylight Saving Time Ends Hogwarts

G. Tower

Dear James,

I know it's not really a holiday, but I really want to tell you something!! For Halloween, Hogwarts is having a dance. It was announced a week ago. Erudite is in charge of photos (she's a shutter-bug freak). Sirius is (should I have said Pad foot?) in charge of music. A girl named Freesia is helping him and here's the most exciting part! Prongs and I are in charge of decorations! The only awful part is that Snape is too. Blech, I say. Barf, says Prongs. But all Snape does is criticize! He doesn't even work! Just criticizes. Nothing else! I also think I caught him looking up my robes when I was on a ladder and he was holding it steady for me. Prongs say him too, I think. His cheeks went red with fury. Besides, he almost stepped down off his ladder even though he had plenty of paint. Snape's a real jerk. One of these days, I hope he comes close to his end and is scared to death. He deserves it. Sometimes I think Prongs wants it too. Could it be that he wants me as well? Who am I kidding?! We're friends, that's all. We'll probably never be anything else.

Just a minute … someone's knocking …

OH MY GOD! That was Prongs! He just asked me to go to the dance! Naturally, I accepted. Hell, I might as well write it. I LOVE JAMES POTTER! DESPERATELY! It's strange. Life, I mean. See you on Halloween!
