Chapter 2

Lily and Bella finished their breakfast. Bella was about to head upstairs, when Lily held her back.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"Duh! Upstairs!" Bella said. "Man, Sirius is right. You are slow!"

"No! I meant, what are you going to do upstairs?"

"To owl James back!"

"Hello? We need your mum's permission!"

"Oh yeah…"

"Now who's slow?"

"Shut up." They burst out laughing.

"Erm…mum?" Bella asked.

"Yes, sweetie?"

"Our friend, James, invited us to visit him next week. May we go?"

"Who is this James?"

"He's Lily's boyfriend."

Mrs. Figg looked at Lily curiously. Lily blushed and nodded.

"Okay…" Mrs. Figg continued. "How many kids will be there?"

"Erm…just us two, James, Remus, and Peter…and…and…erm…and my boyfriend Sirius." Bella said this last part hurriedly.

Mrs. Figg raised her eyebrows, but remained silence. "Will there be adult supervision there?"

"Of course. James' parents will be there."

"Okay…. And how long are you planning to stay there?"

"Erm…what do you think, Lily?"

"I don't know…" Truth is, Lily does know. She wanted to stay there forever...she wanted to be with James…. But she's a bit embarrassed to say so.

"Erm…how about…erm…three weeks? A month? Three months?"

"Three months??" Mrs. Figg asked, obviously thinking no.

"Two months?" bargained Bella.

"Two months??"

"One month!" Bella begged, putting on her best puppy dog face: sad, teary eyes and pouty lips.

Her mum couldn't resist it. "Oh, fine! I give up. You may go. A month it is!"

"Yes!" cried Lily and Bella.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hate it when you put on that face, Bella. Why do you have to do that?"

"Because, mum," Bella said, giving her mum a hug. "It's my specialty." Then, she and Lily ran upstairs.

Lily and Bella went to Lily's room. Lily got out some parchments and sat at her desk, while Bella jumped around her bed.

Dear James,

Oh, I've missed you so much! How are you? How's your summer? I've been waiting so long for your invitation. Anyway, I'm so glad that you've been thinking of me, because I've been thinking of you a lot too. I love you so much, James! I can't wait for the visit to your home. Speaking at that, Bella's mum gave us permission to come already. We can stay there for a month…It's great of her, really, I just wished that I could spend more time with you…Oh, James…It's so lonely without you! Write back soon…

Much love,

Lily

P.S. Sirius, I hate you. You shouldn't have joked like that last time. I was really scared, reading that.

"Done!" Lily cried.

"Ooh…" said Bella. "Let me see!" She took the letter from Lily and read it aloud. "'Dear James…Oh, I've missed you so much!'…Aw…that's so sweet! 'How are you? How's your summer? I've been waiting so long for your invitation…' I know!…Why didn't he write sooner?…'Anyway, I'm so glad that you've been thinking of me, because I've been thinking of you a lot too. I love you so much, James!' Dang, Lily! When are you going to get to the point?"

"Just keep on reading!" Lily said.

"'I can't wait for the visit to your home. Speaking at that, Bella's mum gave us permission to come already. We can stay there for a month…It's great of her, really, I just wished that I could spend more time with you…' Aww…that's so sweet! 'Oh, James…It's so lonely without you!' Hey, what do you mean it's been so lonely? Are you saying that I'm boring?"

"No! Of course not! I just miss him, that's all…" Lily said.

"Oh…I see…okay then…'Write back soon…Much love…Lily…. P.S. Sirius, I hate you.' Hey! That's Sirius you're talking to! Show some respect; he is my boyfriend!"

"I was just joking…jeeze…."

"Okay…I understand what you mean though….Sirius can be really cruel sometimes…

'You shouldn't have joked like that last time. I was really scared, reading that.'" Bella laughed. "But can I add some more stuff?"

"Depends on what the 'stuff ' is…"

"Just a little something to Sirius." Bella pulled on her puppy dog face again.

"Okay," Lily said reluctantly. "You know, your mum was right. That face was really hard to say no to."

Bella laughed. "I know," she said modestly.

P.P.S. By the way, Sirius, Bella found a new guy.

Bella showed it to Lily. Lily laughed. "Are you really going to put that?"

"Why not?" Bella smiled devilishly.

"It seems a bit mean, doesn't it?"

"Nah, Sirius won't take it seriously." (a/n: Hehe…sorry.)

"All right," Lily said. Then she fold up the parchment, put it in an envelope, and gave it to her owl. "Take it to James, okay, Cherry?" Cherry nipped her finger and flew off.

A/N: Sorry so short, but I have homework to do, so this is all I can come up with right now. In the next chapter, we will here from James' and Sirius' points of view, reacting to the reply. Please review.
