but It's the quickest way I could get through the summer.

Letters~
James,
Bonjour! I am in Paris, city of love! (haha) Aunt Marie is so nutty! I do love her though. She's an artist and her first words were that she had to paint me again. She has painted me every year. One was in Picassos style, one I was blue, so we'll see how it goes. When I arrived she had an entire meal set out! She had pancakes, apples, spaghetti, hamburger buns and hotdogs. I have no idea where she came up with that. It was interesting! I found a few girls I know around and they're still as nice as ever. I think I will have fun hanging out with them, even if you can't be here. *Sniff* Miss you already, Love you
Lily
PS My owl's name is Napoleon.
Lily,
Your aunt sounds great! Just so you know, spaghetti on pancakes can be very good. Wink you'll have to show me the paintings. By the way, Sirius says hi. He also wanted me to ask if anyone in France had cheesecake. So anyway… How ironic is it that we're both magical? Out of all the people in London…. I remember thinking how magical you looked that first night and then laughing at myself because I thought it would be impossible. Well must be going. Have fun with your friends. Missed you the second you left. Love you,
James
PS- I can't decide if I miss the way you kiss or the way you dance more. You'll have to remind me when you get back.
PPS- My owl's name is Liberty
Bella,
How are you??? Don't go clubbing alone! Well, I guess you can, but be careful. No more Paul's, ok? Sorry… I had to say that. I met up with Laura and Ananda again this year. I'm glad they are still around. Aunt Marie is still the same. She moved into a bigger flat now so I'm trying to drop some hints about visitors for the summer. Jacques asked me to the Eiffel Tower. I felt really bad saying no. We used to go every year. But things change, I guess. How are your sisters? Tell them I say hello. Have fun! Miss you!
Lily
Lily,
I am so jealous!!!!! Just like every year, I guess. Really though. Its too bad about Jacques. I bet you wish Jamsie would come and visit! And me, I suppose. I went to a club the other night and saw James. He looked little puppy lost when he saw me. I had to try really hard not to laugh. Oh well. Oh, did you hear? McGonagol is taking a year off. Isn't that odd? I can't believe she would ever do that! Goodness, I wonder who the replacement will be. Maybe someone young and cute. Haha That could be fun. The sisters say hello and that they hope you are having a wonderful time. Miss you!
Bella
Miss Patience Evans:
We are pleased to inform you that you have been chosen to be the Head Girl for the upcoming school year. Your pin is enclosed. I trust you will not abuse this privilege. You will have your own compartment on the Hogwarts Express as well. A more detailed letter will be sent at a later date to describe your duties in full. I sincerely hope you enjoy the rest of your summer.
Best wishes,
Albus Dumbledore

Mum and Dad,
Aunt Marie is wonderful! I love it here and am having a great time (as always). Hogwarts recently told me that I am Head Girl. I received my pin in the mail a few days ago. My last year of school! How are you all? I trust Petunia is being as she usually is. I miss you both. I'll see you soon. Love,
Lily
Lily,
We love you and are very proud of you. Petunia is fine and we miss you as well. We trust you and Aunt Marie are taking care of yourselves just fine. Congratulations on being Head Girl. We hope to see you soon. We miss you. Tell your Aunt Marie we send our best wishes. Love,
Mum and Dad
Bella,
I've been made Head Girl! Dumbledore sent me a letter. I can't believe McGonagol is retiring either. I think I know who her replacement will be, James H. Potter. Bella, what am I going to do?? I still haven't told him! Now I'm to be Head Girl and he will be my professor. Do you think there is any possibility in transfering schools? Or maybe I can drop Transfiguration. I feel trapped. I should tell him, but what if he hates me? I don't know what to do. I apologize for being a coward. Miss you,
Lily
Lily,
Don't worry too much. Its great that you have been made Head Girl! Now we can sneak around and you can say your are on official Head Girl business. Or something along those lines. I think you should tell James as soon as you can. Besides, I think you should drop Transfig. anyway. Ask Flitwick for an Advanced Charms class. You're the only one who would be that good anyway. Oh well. Good luck. School starts in 3 weeks Lily. 3 weeks. Have fun. Miss you.
Bella
James,
I wish you could be here! The Eiffel Tower was incredible. So was the Arc de Triumph. I wouldn't mind a 'Café le Polle' sometime though. I don't think I ever asked you if you speak and foreign languages. So do you? When does you job begin? Before you start, I need to tell you something. I should have told you before, but well I won't think about that right now. Ananda is telling me to hurry up. I'm going out with them to a club tonight. I don't even think the French can have dancers like you, so I think I'll just watch for a while. Well better be going now. Miss you and Love you,
Lily
Lily,
I start teaching in 2 weeks. I think I have to get there a week earlier than the students. But I think I may have to be a chaperone on the train. Merlin, some upstart youngster better not try anything! I used to pull stuff all the time. It'll be great watching Quidditch games again. You'll have to come with me to the World Cup this year. Its great. What is it you need to tell me? It can't be huge, can it? Sirius says you're going to suddenly turn out to be some 15 girl that I'm going to get sued because you will turn out to be not only my student, but my little sister who was abducted by aliens at birth. Sirius is always good for a laugh. Seriously, (no pun intended), why don't you meet up with me at Hogsmeade in 3 weeks? Hogsmeade is the all wizarding town, remember? Oh well, just use some Floo powder. I'll met you at 8 that Saturday in the Three Broomsticks. Is that good? Miss you too. Love you more,
James
PS-Don't worry to much about it, I'll love you anyway.
James,
That's fine. Yes I know where Hogsmeade is. It does seem that Sirius is good for a laugh. Well, I'm not 15 anymore, so I guess that part of his plan is flawed. Oh well. Good luck with your students. Be mean to them and they won't pull anything. Wink Or maybe nothing big. The World Cup would be wonderful. I've never been since the rest of my family are all muggles. But anyway, its very important and I can't help but worry about it. Well, I will see you then. Miss you and Love you,
Lily
Bella,
Oh god. Sirius made some crack about me turning out to be 15 and James student. And Some other outrageous stuff, but this is serious! Oh god what am I supposed to do? What next huh? I'm writing Dumbledore. I want out of his class. I think it will work. School is in a week. I'm hyperventilating. Aunt Marie is agravated because I am ruining my portrait because I am shaking. She still won't let me see it. I asked her about it and she started muttering about my parents naming me Patience. She says it must have jinxed me. I've explained to Laura and Ananda about James.. They both said that atleast we had fun for a while. French people! I could scream. Well must go. I need to plan out my impending death.
Lily
Professor Dumbledore,
I was wondering if I could perhaps take an Advanced Charms class instead of this year's Transfiguration. I believe that Professor Flitwick would be pleased and I would greatly appreciate the extra time to work on my Charms skills. I believe it is one of my best classes and that given a chance I would excell greatly. I await your decision.
Sincerely,
Patience Evans
Miss Patience Evans:
I have discussed your request with Professor Flitwick. He stated that you had very high potential and immediately accepted. The Ministry of Magic is currently deciding upon a standard curiculum for. However, you may temporarily change your schedule until the Ministry makes their decision. I will notify you later on if Basic Transfiguration 7 is own of their required choices. Good luck.

Bella,
School is starting!!!!!!!! I don't have to take Transfiguration! Haha! I'm so unbelievably nervous. What if it doesn't work? But I guess its not a final solution, just a staller. I'll meet you at Diagon Alley tomorrow, ok? James is chaperoning on the train. I MUST REMEMBER TO HIDE IN A CLOSET! Sit with me in the Heads seat, ok? I'll see you there!
Lily
James,
Good luck. I'll see you this weekend. I'm leaving Paris today. I'm going shopping in London with Bella. Well, See you then. I really need to tell you something. Love you,
Lily
AN: Thanks for reviewing. This was the quickest way to get through the summer. Hope you guys didn't mind!
