James,
I fell like an idiot writting these things to you when you know very well how much I loathed you. Guess I'm trying to find out a way for me to vent out my anger! First and foremost, I can't believe I was even thinking of giving you a chance, but now that you are with the most easiest Girl in the entire school, I'm glad I didn't have the guts to tell you about your chance. You blew it! To think I was falling for you...hahaha...what a laugh! After that night when we were patrolling in the hallways and you told me how much you loved me and wanted to be with me, I knew somehow you were telling me the truth, but my stupidity and pride took over and that's why I ran from you. I was scared. For the first time, something you said made me think long and hard about how I felt for you! I avoided you for a couple of days and when I finally was going to cave in to my feelings...you go and ruin everything by going out with what my cousin in America says "hoodrat"! I couldn't believe it when I heard about you and Tiffany. One day you tell me you love me and the next you get it on with a different girl? Do you know how much it hurts? NO? Just watch...I'll show you how its done!
With Regret,
Lily
"So that's where I get my temper from..." he stated to himself. "I hope the rest of these letters aren't that hateful.I wonder what mum did to dad for revenge?"
Making a mental note to ask Remus about this later, Harry took the next letter out. Glancing at the wall clock, he knew that dinner was almost over.
"Oh well, I'll just grab something later" he thought to himself.

James,
Maybe in life we have to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. When the door of happiness closes, another one opens, but often times we look so long at the closed doors that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch with, never utter a word and then walking away feeling like its the best conversation you've ever had. It's true that we don't know what we've got untill it's gone, but it's alos true that we don't know what's been missing untill it arrives. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in their hear, but if it doesn't...be contenet that it grew in yours. It only takes a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone...but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don't go for looks, they can be decieved. Don't go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile to make a dark day seem bright. There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because you only have one life and once chance to do all the things you want to do. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong,enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feelthat it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything...they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who searched, and those who have tried...for only they can appreciate the importanceof people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life untill you let go of your past failures and heartaches. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
I say all these things to you because you are my one James. You are my open door, my best friend,you are the missing thing that left and arrived in my life...you are someone who I can't possibly imagine to forget...you are the one who makes me whole and complete! I'm so happy that I'm with you...Together we can accomplish everything and anything we want in life. I love you with my whole being and nothing and no one can ever change that!
I am Soley yours,
Lily
"Wow" thought Harry. "My mum was in some ways a poetic person."
Harry heard a knock on the door. He slowly got up and made his way to open the door. On the otherside was a irrate looking Hermione.
"Harry James Potter! You better have a good explanation for this!" hollered Hermione.
Pushing her way into the room, Ginny and Ron quickly followed her inside. Putter her hands on her hips she looked like a miniature version of Professor McGonagall whe she was truly livid about something.
"Well! I'm waiting for an answer Harry!" snapped Hermione while glaring at a dumbstruck Harry.
Glancing at Ron,who looked the same as Harry, he shrugged.
"Hermione what in the bloody hell are you talking about!" responded Harry. " I'd like to know what I did wrong so that I can tell you my answer!"
"Honestly Hermione, I don't think he did it on purpose...besides he's okay now isnt he?" Ginny,who was quiet during the dramatic,scene spoke to her friend.
Ron looking more cluless than ever said " Yea Mione' what has he done to get you to be so worked up?"
Taking a deep intake of breath and exhaling it she looked more calm than moments before. Looking at Harry straight in the eyes she voiced her reason.
"You had me really worried Harry. Not just me...but Molly and Ginny too! You're so lucky that Remus could track your appiration or else the whole order would've been looking for you and then what if they couldn't find you! What would happen then?"
Harry stood right in front of Hermione and said " I didn't even know that I appirated in the first place. Its as if someone wanted me to go to Godric's Hollow. Besides I wasn't even gone for five minutes when Remus showed up."
Grabbing Harry in a hug she responded "I'm sorry for yelling. I really thought something bad was going to happene to you."
Releasing her from the hug, Harry smiled. "For the first time in a while Hermione, I'm actually okay with Sirius being gone. I think by going to my old home, somehow it provided a sense of closure, and I'm okay with that."
He continued " I already told Ron everything this afternoon after we got back from there, so now its your turn."
Harry proceeded in telling the girls his little afternoon contingency, when he finished the girls had tears in their eyes.
"Oh Harry!" cried Ginny. "I wish we could've been there with you."
Ginny flung her arms around Harry's neck and held on to him. Harry stiffened at the gesture, but soon relaxed in to her arms. A warm fuzzy feeling came over him when they hugged, but Harry brushed it aside. Ron looked shocked at the scene developing infront of him and that's when he decided to say something.
"Hello! Stop hitting on my best friend Gin! And you, Harry, Stop taking advantage of my sister!" scolded Ron.
Ginny was giving Ron a murderous glare. "Ronald Weasly! We were doing nothing of the kind of thing your peverted mind thinks! I was shocked at what happened and about what the letter says that i simply comforted my friend with a Hug! You kno what! I don't know why I am explaining myself to you because truth of the matter is...YOU ARE NOT MY FATHER! Get over it you twit!"
She turned on her heel and fled the room with anger radiating from her pores.
"I can't believe you Ron! why would you think something of the sort?" asked a curious Harry. "You know as well as I do I treat her like a sister? So why are you going all mad?"
"Ronald, you have better apologize to Ginny. What you did was wrong and you know it." Hermione calmly said to her boyfriend. "I'll go talk to her for now. I'll see you two later."
As she was leaving, Hermione paused by the door. "Oh and harry...Please don't go on any more trips tonight. I don't think my heart could take any more shocking news tonight!" After having said this, she left the boys alone.
"I'm sorry Harry. My brotherly instincts came kicking in when you hugged her. It was dumb and I'm sorry!"
Harry shook his head and grinned at his best friend. "Nah, don't worry about it. I'm used to you being a git."
