I was on a roll so I decided to begin the chapter without waiting for reviews. So I will write back to them on the chapter after this!
So you will not get impatient a "Harry update" happen every five chapters so the chapter after this one will be about Harry and his reaction.
Notes In the common Room3:00
I have very big news but I have to tell a story first. So hang tight! I was in charms and we were reviewing charms that we were having problems with. When we were reviewing the summoning and banishing charms people began sending paper wads across the room, we were supposed to be sending little pillows. Well they were going very fast and more and more was being added I ducked under the table to avoid being pelted by a paper wad. When professor Flitwick managed to get everything under control I came back up.
There were paper wads all over the room, like it had snowed fat ball- shaped snow. It was everywhere! 10 points were taken away from both of the houses and James and Sirius were given detention. We stopped practicing our charms and had to listen to a lecture about how close the OWLs are, how we are becoming adults, and being an example. It was very boring. Finally the bell rang and we were able to escape.
We were in lunch and I was still fuming about idiots like James and Sirius who have no respect for people who care about passing their OWLs. My rant was quickly stopped by Sandra who reminded me about the paper wad I banished as fast as I could at Penelope Washbourne, a Huffelpuff, who had sent one at Christopher. I blushed and while I busied myself digging in my bags I found a paper wad in my bag. Only there was a flap sticking out from the paper ball with my name on it. I opened it and here is what it said.
My Lily Flower-I see you enjoy the gift I gave you at Christmas, you write in it often. I love the way you can write so diligently even in the business before your Ordinary Wizarding Levels tests. I am your secret admirer. I knew you loved writing by watching you. You are a wonderful creature, Lily. I will send you notes, you will never know when to expect one. I will give you clues as to who I am. You will have opportunities to guess in your replies. Leave them behind the one eyed hag every time after I send you a letter. You may guess now. I cannot wait until you know of my identity.
Your secret admirer.
My first clue until I find out who the "secret admirer" is. I am going to start guessing. It cannot be Professor Slughorn, he is old and it would just be GROSS if he were my secret admirer. It cannot be James; it's called a secret admirer, and James does not make his flirting with me secret. Sadly it cannot be Christopher. He had a girlfriend, Leila Jonson. Who can it be? I will start with, that Guy on the Quidditch team oh what's his name? Uh, Klyde or something! I'll ask Kathleen, he's on her list I know for sure.
Kyle Lannabarger. I have no idea why but we have to start somewhere. I need to write my reply! I'll write more later. This is so exciting. My life has become something of a drama!

In the common Room (2 weeks later)
4:00 p.m.
I am so sorry I haven't written. I have been very busy, but I had to find time to write more because the secret admirer write back, and we can cross one name off our list. It is not Kyle. Here is what he wrote:
Dearest lily Flower (I love that name! I am their dearest lily Flower!)
No I am not the Gryffindor Keeper, but here is my first clue. I will try to make it less obvious; you are so cute when you work hard at something! Well here it is:
"I seek to find your love, for you to know my name. I am lost in darkness while you are the light. I am cursed by loneliness, when will you save me?"
I am sorry it is so stupid sounding, I can't find another way to describe what I am struggling to say. Please write back and guess.
Your secret admirer
I seek to find your love? And for me to know his name? How can I guess if I do not know his name? Lost in darkness, while I am the light. That sounds so sweet, but how does that help me? He is cursed by loneliness. How do I know this is not a weird declaration of love instead of a clue?
I will use the word cursed. Is it Severus Snape? He is very good in Defense against the Dark Arts, what if he was referring to how skilled he is at curses? I have nothing else. My guess is Severus Snape. A wasted guess I am sure.

In the Dining Hall (two days Later)
8:30 a.m.
The admirer strikes again! Within a matter of days even! Here's his letter! Thank you it is NOT Severus. I am not going to bother to copy the letter again so I will tape it in with spell-o tape. Here it is.
My Wonderful Lily Flower
Severus Snape? I am insulted! But I forgive you. I can't help it. Your next clue is one word: Scam. Sorry this letter is so short. I have not had enough time as it is. But I will try to write a longer letter. My lily flower, I cannot wait until you are ready to learn about my identity.
Your Secret Admirer
At least it is not Snape, he calls me a mudblood, the lowest term anyone can use to describe someone. Well I will get onto that after we decide whom to guess. Since they are insulted that I picked Snape, then I know it is NOT a Slytherin. I cannot figure out the scam thing though. Well I will pick a random person. Frank Longbottom, a seventh year, I know he is really smart a smart person can figure out how to stump such an intelligent girl like me. Well I will guess that.
Back to the Mudblood subject, it all goes back to Salazar Slytherin. He decided that if you are a muggle you are not worthy to learn magic. Which is absurd. He wanted to be selective about whom to choose to go to Hogwarts. Well he left the school since he got in a row with Gryffindor. Well now all the so-called "pure bloods" are going at all of the muggle borns, who they call mudbloods. It goes even farther though.
I heard there is a maniac running around getting followers. I have only heard this from a couple of Huffelpuffs who heard some Slytherins talking about it. Which is a very reliable source. Well he is going after muggle borns too! So now some people are getting scared that he is going to get them. Which is very ridiculous. I am going to write my reply.
Lily
