A/N: I didn't know where to start this chapter but then I got some inspiration! Diary form for this one with a bit from everyone.
It seems as if everything is falling down around me. The girls have been great but I find myself drawing away from them. We have all drifted apart a bit over the years and 'the event' was the straw that broke the camels back so to speak. I find Mil and myself joining different groups often and in classes we aren't sitting with the others. As for Bel and Mel they seem quite content with limiting our friendship to the dorm and when they need something. I keep finding Mel and Bel in the middle of going through my things so I now lock my trunk and my diary whenever I leave the room. Mil has spoken to me about similar behaviour. I wonder if they are planning something or wether 'the slice incident' really got to them. Well that's all for now. Oh and Petunia has sent me papers to sign for the sale of the house. I think that I'll just sit on them for a while and she can sweat. No way is my parents' house being sold to pay for her wedding!
Lily
**************************************************************************************************************************
I think that Lil and Mil are getting suspicious of our actions. Little do they know that we are just planning a surprise party for Lil's birthday. We can't tell Mil because she'll blab to Lil about it and then it would be ruined. I still can't find a way to get into Lil's trunk to see if she has a nice outfit but that's ok. Potter and Black might be able to help me there.
Mel
**************************************************************************************************************************
I was just asked by Mel to break into Evans trunk so they could look through her clothes. I asked if this meant I would see if she had black underwear and Mel said no. I'll do it anyways. I know what she's looking for seeing as us Marauders are getting the refreshments. Should be fun!! A party is just what we all need; I can't believe that McGongall agreed to it!!
Later
James
**************************************************************************************************************************=
We just went through Lily-Billies trunk and there wasn't anything suitable to wear to a party in there. I wonder where her formal robes are? Oh well. I'll just have to make her something to wear and give it to her for her birthday. I'll get Mel to insist that she wears it under her robes that day. Good thing her birthday is on a Saturday! Mil doesn't have a clue and none of Gryffindor has spoilt the surprise.
Bel
**************************************************************************************************************************
It seems that all people are doing these days it scribbling in some sort of book. I think they will show them to their kids later on. Not my idea of quality family time. This is really stupid. James raves about how good it is to get out your feelings on something that can't talk back but I think its stupid.
Sirius
**************************************************************************************************************************
I can't seem to think that Mel and Bel are planning something for Lil's birthday. This could be a problem, as she has nothing to wear. I might try and con Remus into taking me to Hogsmead later today. I really like him but there's something odd about him and I know Lily knows. Oh well. Its time for DADA so I better round up the troops.
Mil
**************************************************************************************************************************
Things are changing around here. Peter seems to be off a lot of the time and James is always writing in his journal. Sirius is dating another girl, the last one lasted two weeks. Bel and Mel are planning a surprise party for Lily's birthday. I really don't know what you get a girl for birthdays. Maybe James and Sirius will have some ideas but something tells me that their ideas may have to do with nickers and such so maybe I'll just ask Mil. Thinking of Mil, she seems to like me at the moment, which is really bad. I mean who wants to go out with a guy that disappears every month without fail because he is a werewolf? I know that Lily said Mil's not like that but I can't help but think that I'll never have a chance.
Remus
**************************************************************************************************************************
I've been spending a lot of time in the library lately trying to get better marks in my subjects. It hasn't been working that well but I have come across a few interesting things. The Slytherins like talking about this Dark Lord who they say will clean up the Wizarding world. I don't like the sound of it but he is gaining power quickly they say. Dumbledore is the only one who he is afraid of. I'm thinking of joining up. Can you think of the glory and the power these Death Eaters and minions of this Dark Lord will receive? People will be terrified of us. It would be just like hanging around with Remus, James and Sirius but better.
Peter
**************************************************************************************************************************
That's all I can think of writing for this chapter. It's just a bit of insight into each characters mind. I really think that I could have made most of them better especially Sirius, Mil, Bel and James but this story is really meant to be told in actions not in diary entries. Oh well. I hope this chapter really works for all of you and if there are any problems let me know and I'll revise it. Thanks a bunch!!
