Chapter 7- Letters and Whatnot

The first week of classes flew by, and considering no one liked getting homework, everyone was happy and content. Well, almost everyone, maybe not a few Slytherins that had to go through the last two days with long hot pink hair, but that's another story. Lily, Jen, Amanda, Cassidy, James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter were all sitting in the common room for awhile. They were all talking, but now it was pretty much silent. Lily and Jen decided that it would be a good time to write to Lydia and Kate. So, they got out some parchment and began to write. This drew interest by the six other first years.

"Whatcha doing?" asked James

"Writing a letter" replied Lily

"To who?" asked James

"People"

"What people?"

"Some friends"

"What friends?"

"Muggle friends"

"What muggle friends? What? wait- - your writing to muggle friends....??"

"Yes...is there something wrong with that?"

"Well...um....are you telling them about the school?"

"Yep...and we're sending pictures of it...aren't we Jen?"

"Yep... lot's and lot's even of you guys.."

"But they'll move...and their muggles" Sirius piped in

"Yep. Very good Sirius"

"But, but.."

"They already know where witches"

"Why? Your not supposed to tell"

"They stole my letter"

"Actually Lil'," started Jen "Kate stole it, and Lydia stole it from her"

"Same thing."

"Yeah but still."

Lily and Jen were still taking turns writing and getting out pictures that they had taken over the last week. There was some of the school, some of teachers, some of friends, and even some with pink-haired Slytherins."

"Kate and Lyd know about as much about this school as I do"

"Why?"

"Because Jen and them spent the night when I got my letter and Jen was telling us stuff that she read about the school and the magical world."

"But they still don't know as much as you do because you've been here for awhile."

"That wasn't my point"

"I know that"

"I'm hungry" announced Sirius

Jen rolled her eyes, "You just ate"

"Like an hour ago"

The girls continued writing their letter that was now consisting a about one and a half feet of parchment. They had pictures of almost everything and if they didn't have pictures, they took one. Conversations kept changing like they had earlier and by time the two girls had a 2 foot long letter they decided that was enough for now. They had also sent about 20 pictures. They told Lydia and Kate just about everything. Even about the sorting and eating and some of the people.

The next week also pasted in a flash and before long, all eight were sitting in the common room on a Saturday. It was surprisingly empty seeing as most of the third through seventh years were at Hogsmeade. The eight decided that they would have a chess tournament between them. Jen's chess set was the best and they wanted to use it.

"Jen lets use your set"

"Fine but it's upstairs" said Jen looking at Lily

"Yes I know that"

"Well...how is it going to get down here?" asked Jen with a grin on her face.

"I don't know you tell me"

"Well... how about if someone goes and gets it?"

"Yes that'd be a good idea"

"Liiiiiiilllllllly??????"

"Whhhhhhhaaaaaatttt?"

"Pleeeeease?"

"Ugh! I give up! I'm going I'm going!"

Lily got up to go get the set. As she walked away she heard Jen yelling out a "Thank you Lily dearest" Once she got upstairs she noticed that Tracy, a different first year, that was very popular but most her friends were in Ravenclaw, was the only person up there. Lily said a quick hello, got the chess set and headed towards the door. It was then that she heard her name being called
