I own nothing, except last week's edition of the Hogwarts Times
"Hey Lily, what's up?" Asked James as he sat at the Gryffindor table with Sirius, Remus, and Peter for breakfast the next morning.
"Not much, but why are you guys so late getting here this morning? The mail should be arriving soon," answered Lily.
"Why don't you ask Padfoot?" said Remus with a glare.
"How was I supposed to know what a mimbulus mimbletonia does when you poke it?" replied Sirius indignantly.
"Perhaps you could try paying attention in Herbology for once!" Remus retorted.
Sirius was saved from replying by a letter that had just fallen onto his toast.
"Would you look at that!" said Sirius as he opened the letter, "My first question!"
Suddenly, Sirius' face turned ashen and he dropped the letter. "What does it say?" asked Lily. Sirius picked up the parchment and handed it across the table.
Lily gasped and laid the letter on the table so the others could read it:
Dear Sirius,
I have a crush on Severus Snape, how do I get him to notice me and tell him my feelings? Appreciate your help.
From,
Some-girl-from-Slytherin
"A girl actually likes Snape?!" Burst out James, as the others were too much in shock to say anything. "The world is coming to an end!"
"But even worse than someone actually liking Snivellus," said Sirius, finally coming out of his stupor, "how in the name of Merlin am I supposed to reply to this?!"
"Have fun mate," said James, breaking into hysterics.
"We did warn you about this," Remus broke in. "You knew what you were getting in to. Or, at least you should have known."
"I know, alright?" Sirius retorted. "I just wasn't expecting something like this to happen," he said, beckoning at the letter. "This is going to be so much fun..."
Yeah, it's not great, but it's a chapter right? I probably won't be able to update again till the middle of June though. Thanks to Queen of the Sacred Flames for the letter idea.
Read and review!
