Summary: An epistolary sequence documenting the humour filled, at times angst-y, and EVER evolving relationship between Lily Evans and James Potter. Why don't they just get together and snog each other senseless already? You'll see soon enough...
Chapter: Love Mates
Author's Note: Yes, it's a new chapter… you're not hallucinating =) Hope it was worth the wait… Oh, and after this chapter I plan on integrating several other types of er, communication, I guess you could say…

To: Lily Evans
Lily, as you may or may not have noticed, we, (Sirius, Remus and I,) are fine friends to Peter. The best he's ever had even… And what I fail to understand is why you just can't seem to appreciate a little good-natured humour every now and again?
Furthermore, as you may or may not have realised, I like you a lot… fancy you even… but you have got to lighten up. And maybe then I'll agree to those midnight visits to the Astronomy tower you've been suggesting… just promise you'll be gentle, eh?
-Your new love mate, James Potter
19 September Noon
To: James Potter
That's the third time I've been told to loosen up this week, and I honestly don't know what's wrong with you people… So, if you don't want to be bothered with me anymore, you won't, I assure you…
-Lily Evans

To: Padfoot
All right. Now I'm confused… I just got an owl from Lily, but it was all wet, I mean, the ink was smeared in some places… I think I might have made her cry, and actually, I feel sort of guilty about it.
There. I've said it. Now tell me what to do.

To: Prongs
Usually, when things get this far in my relationships, I end them… but you, you've gone and gotten yourself all romantically involved before you've even made it official. If you're still feeling guilty, ask Remus… I've washed my hands of your situation, sort of like Laurie-Ellen… speaking of whom, the offer still stands.

To: Prongs
Look. I understand that what you had to say to me today was important to you, but that was no reason for you to pull me into that cupboard like that… I was in the middle of a good conversation with Bethany Gill, and now she thinks, well it doesn't really matter what she thinks, but…
About what we discussed: I've thought about it and I think you should tell Lily that you didn't mean what you said. You don't have to apologize, persay, but at least talk to her, in person…if she lets you… so, er, Bon Chance.

To: Moony
Is it too much to ask of you to just speak English?
And I am NOT apologizing… I didn't do a thing to her… But I will try and talk to her anyway. I'll make Sirius set something up.

To: Prongs
You and Sirius and Remus have been moping around all day and no one is bothering to tell me why or what's going on. And I for one do not appreciate it. It's because of girls isn't it?!
-Wormtail (is it too late to change my name?)
