A/N This chapter includes the letters from Lexie's friends. I know that this chapter isn't necessary but I thought it would be nice to know what they've written. So enjoy!

Chapter 4: The letters

Lexie wiped away the tears from her face and reached for the first letter. It was from Hogwarts. A/N I don't have to write about content of this letter, do I?A/N

The second one was from Lily:

Dear Lexie,

You know what? I'm leaving for France next week. I'm going to spend there the most wonderful and exciting month in my life. Oh Lexie I'm so glad. You don't even know how!!! My parents are excited too, they've never been abroad. But unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) Petunia don't want to go with us. Well it's her choice.
But what about your plans? I suppose you're staying at home as usual, aren't you? I'm sure that you'll have great time too!!!
Ok, I have to go. I've got so many things left to pack. I'll write to you from France. Have a nice holiday!!!

Yours,

Lily Evans

P.S. I'm going to the Diagon Alley on 25th of Augus,t will you go with me? The Marauders are coming too. Think about it and owl James or Sirius. Ok, I really have to go now. BYE!!!

"She's the lucky one. I always spend my holiday at home."sighed Lexie She grabbed next letter.

"Oh. It's from Remmy!"

Dear Alexandra,

My letter will be very short and I'm sorry for that. You know- the full moon is today- and I'm getting weaker and weaker. I'll spend all my holiday at home but don't worry my dear. I've got some company- Peter is staying at my house. Sorry that he won't write to you but you know our Peter- he is too shy. So I'm sending greetings from our dear Wormtail and of course from myself. Take care of yourself. See you at the Diagon Alley or the Hogwart's Express.

Yours

Remus and Peter.

"Oh poor Remmy. He doesn't deserve that. He has to suffer every full moon. It's simply unfair!!! How pity I can do nothing!" exclaimed Lexie "Well, let's see from whom is the next letter. Um..... It's from James, I suppose"

Lexieeeeeeee!!!

I've got wonderfu news. I'm the luckiest man ever!!! I've written a letter to Lily and she wrote back! That was rather a formal letter but it was from her!!! Isn't it great?! Do you think that she LIKES me?You're her closest friend and I'm sure that you know it. Please write and tell me what do you think.

Ok, I'm going play quidditch with Sirius now. He has written a letter to you. A VERY LONG letter. I think that he realyl LIKES you . So beware Lexie. But Sirius isn't so bad.

The luckiest man ever-James Potter

P.S. PLEASE write soon. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!!!!!

"Oh poor James. I don't know wheter Lily likes him or not so I can't help him. But hold on! What he said about Sirius? Does he really LIKE me? No, it can't be. Certainly not. Why should he like you- Lexie Blackwood? He is the most handsome student in the Hogwarts and you're just average girl. But he calls me Angel... And maybe I like him too... No! Lexie stop thinking about. Just stop and read next letter. Oh, it's from Annie!!!"

DearFriend

I've got surprise for you!!! But I'll say about it later. How are you feelling? I hope that you're good. I'm going for a trip to Egypt. I'm so excited. I'm going to see pyramids!!!
Ok, now about my surprise. Miss Alexandra I beg to inform you that you are welcome to spend the last two weeks of August in the Smith's house!!! What do you think about it? Will your stepmother allow you? Please Owl me soon. PLEASE!!!

Annie.

"That's wonderful!!! I'm going to spend two weeks with Annie! I'm sure that Francesca will agree. She'll do everything just to send me away from this house. Ok, now the last letter" Lexie picked up Sirius' letter and her heart jumped "What does it mean?" she frowned "Why am I so nervous? He's just a friend!"

'Just a friend? No, certainly NOT!" said a voice in Lexie's head 'You're hiding your true feelings for him. He is MORE than a FRIEND and you know it. Stop fooling yourself. You like him and he likes you too'

"Maybe yes..." sighed Lexie and started to read the letter.

Dearest Angel

Lexie's heart jumped.

I'm writting to you to ask you how you feel. I hope that you're fine.

I'm sure that you know I'm staying at James' place this summer. We have a lot of fun. But you know James, he is talking only about Lily (and quidditch occasionally). I hope taht she'll be his girlfriend because I'm fed up with his behavior. He is really annoying. Now we're going play quidditch and I hope that he'll shut up for a while. If he won't I'll push a bludger into his mouth. Really.

Lexie laughed and imagined James with bludger in his mouth.

I hope that Lily told you about our meeting in August. You have to be there Angel unless you want me to drag you to the Diagon Alley. I'm sure you don't. I hope that you're laughing now, because I don't like when you're sad. God I really miss the sound of your laughter...

Lexie gulped, 'Does he?'

Well, we'll meet soon. Take care of yourself and write back soon.

Yours,

Sirius.

Lexie sighed and put down Sirius' letter. "I miss you too Sirius..."

Lexie went out the room and yelled: "Mother, can I go to Annie for two weeks in August?"

"Go to the hell if you want!!! I don't care about you!" yelled her stepmother in response

'Good. That's the answer that I've been expecting' she sat in front of her desk and started to write responsers for the letters. "Maybe this summer won't be so bed? At least two weeks of August will be wondeful" Lexie smiled as she began writting:

Dearest Sirius

I miss you too....

A/N And what do you think about it? Please review. I'm leaving tomorrow so I'll update my story in two weeks. Have a nice time. Bye :
