Lina's POV

August 23, 1975, In the Air, on the way to England.

Yesterday I attended a meeting for the Miss AMA contestants.

What a joke.

I got there late. As usual. My grandmother (Miss Magic 1952), My Great Aunt (Miss Magic 1955), and my school principal were already there. Sitting in chairs in front of them were my two least favorite people on earth, Harmony and Melodie Brenswak. They are twin sisters, identical to the last eyelash, and as opposite as possible.

You know, it's kind of a puzzle to me, as to why they have different color houses. Harmony is White, and Melodie is Blue. But maybe they meant to do that, so they could be sure to get in to the Miss Magic contest, without one beating the other.

Their mother was there too. She looked as domineering as it's possible to be. I almost feel sorry for her daughters. Almost. I might have if they don't try to make my life so miserable. Especially Melodie.

I got six raised eyebrows when I entered the room, even from my own grandmother, who, you'd think would be used to my clothing choices.

Whatever.

She looked plenty pleased with her other two contestants. Well, what do you expect? They are both blonde like her, I bet they go to the same color technician.

Still. It's kind of disappointing to be the one person that can disappoint your grandmother.

But what else does she want of me? I've participated, I've won, and now I'm going to England.

Actually, I was the only brunette in the room. It was a little frightening.

You know, she shouldn't be so disappointed in me. I did dress very nicely. I mean I was wearing black dress pants! What more can she want?

And no, I'm not going to change my wardrobe for the contest, per her suggestion.

And yeah, it's not like I wore a baby pink or a baby blue dress the way Melodie and Harmony did.

If the judges can't except the fact that I'm in mourning for my generation that's too bad, because I checked the rule book, and once I'm at Hogwarts, I'm there to stay, win or lose, for the rest of the year.

I'm not sure whether I should be happy about his or not.

Oh well. It's not like I can back out now. I'll bet here tomorrow.

I don't know if I'll miss home or not. It's not like I had many friends at AMA. Yeah, I have a lot of acquaintances, but no-one I'd necessarily call a friend.

My real best friends are my books, and those I can take with me.

It's sad, but even with my suit case full of books, I have ½ as much as luggage as the musical duo, as I've chosen to call them.

And I know I have everything I'm supposed to need, because I bought everything on that list in that stupid "Beauty Pageants for Bombshells" handbook in the darkest shade possible. I only read that because my mother basically said that she would do something desperate if I didn't.

I'll still miss my family, despite their incredible ability to get me messed up in messes I really don't want to be messed up in. Like this one, for example.

Remus' POV

Prongs:

AGAIN? You are unbelievable. But don't' be too hard on yourself, or anything.

Padfoot, Wormtail, and I will be coming to Hogwarts tomorrow. Some how, Paddie managed to convince Professor McGonnagall to let us come early.

That way I'll be able to guide you through getting Lily to love you back.

And Padfoot will be able to decide which contestant he wants to prey on, before all the other guys get here. Poor defenseless girls, they probably won't even know what hit them. They're probably very difficult.

-Moony

P.S. I'm sorry, but Padfoot heard your last letter. It was an accident, honest. You shouldn't have waited until the P.S. to tell me not to let him read it.

And surprisingly, he didn't wet himself. He did, however, manage to bang a hole in the wall of your mum's kitchen when he was overcome with hysterical laughter.

But don't worry. Wormtail patched it up with boards and nails. It was amazing. He took a construction class this summer. Wow.

Besides. Your mum doesn't even spend that much time in her kitchen, anyway. She probably won't even notice.

And even if she did, she'd be able to fix it in about two seconds with her wand.

A/N: I AM SO SORRY! This chap took forever! My huge enormous apologies to all of you.

Thank you for all of you're reviews:

Hpandfriendsruletheworld: wow. Thanks.

Blink182Rox: Glad you appreciated it. Sorry I didn't exactly update soon….

Miss Lady Padfoot: Katie, I'd love to have your help. Just tell me what you want me to do. Are you the "someone" that was supposed to reveal themselves? Sorry about the lyrics. I thought at the time that they worked, but looking back, they really don't. oops.
