Okay, guys! Guess what I have here for you!

A SNEAK PREVIEW OFAN EXCERPTCHAPTER ONE OF THE SEQUEL TO "SEVENTH YEAR"!

AND a super-spiffy contest! LOL, anyway...

Only Raya and the plot belong to me!

LILY!

Hello! It's me, your best friend, Raya Sakina Ailish. So I decided it was high time you got a new diary, Lily Potter-I mean, Lily Briallen Evans. Your last diary should be put away and kept for the purpose of chronicling how you FINALLY got over your BLOCKHEADED STUBBOURN-NESS and realized that you were madly in love with James Potter. You need a new one anyway, because I think you've already basically filled the rest of your old one up with 'LE + JP 4ever!' and 'Lily Evans Potter', and stuff like that. Wow, you are deeply in love with this guy…

Speaking of Sirius, here he is now, walking into the common room. Uh-oh. I think he's seen me. Writing in a diary. That look in his eyes is pure Marauder. NOOOOOOO!

Later

Stupid Accio charm. You should appreciate what I've done for you, Lily Evans. I have run through the Common Room, cursed Sirius out, and then literally cursed him to get this diary back.

Raya, no words can express what I am feeling right now. And I don't mean like gratitude. Although it does explain why you ran screaming through the Common Room last night.

And I HAVEN'T filled up the rest of my other diary with those inane Lily/James symbols you wrote. Just the middle 20 pages.

Curse you, Raya Ailish. Curse you.

IMPORTANT NOTE CONCERNING THE SEQUEL TO "SEVENTH YEAR":

Right, so I've decided to have a title contest for the sequel! Please submit your title ideas via reviews or by sending me a personal message! The contest will be open until...hm...March 16? Let's see. In any case, the winner will get (drum roll) Me using the selected title, as well as: advance readings of the first TWO chapters! (Assumes commentator's voice) That's right, you also get this shiny new car-I mean, to read the completed versions of the first two chapters of the sequel before I post them! Just don't give away what happens to others...

ALSO: If you need an idea of the sequel to come up with a title (duh): It's basically going to cover the entire rest of the school year. This means the Maurauders' pranks, N.E.W.T.s, and various other adventures Lily and the gang have!

And, yes, there is plenty more to this chapter than what I'm posting here.
