Author's notes: I can't believe how long it's been since I updated!! I'm really sorry guys, I've got my end of year exams coming up and between school work and study I've had little time to do anything let alone update my fics. Better late then never though right! Thanks for everyone who has reviewed, I'm really glad that these letters are entertaining others as well as myself ;) Anyway I'll stop blabbing and let you get on and read Moony's reply :)

Poor Padfoot,
Sirius, if I did not know better I would not believe that five days into the school term you have already managed to get yourself into a situation such as this. Although as it is I do know better, which has led me to come to the conclusion that I have spent far to much time with you in the past five years. That, though, is my problem and this letter is meant to be focusing on yours.
Personally I think you should just let her get away with the prank and even perhaps the blackmailing, because seeing Snape and Malfoy as pink rabbits was a memory that all the students of this school can treasure for the rest of their lives, but I have a feeling that your pride would be completely tainted if you were to let Evans get away with such a thing.
So I went back to the letter to find another way for you to solve your problem, and I did. Sirius, she doesn't really know that we pulled off that prank. After reading in-between the lines of this rather insulting letter I found that she is calling a bluff in hope that you will write back giving away the fact that the Marauders did pull off the prank, thus giving her an important piece of blackmailing material which she will hold over us for the rest of our lives.
Now Padfoot, before you rush off and write her a letter I am going to make a suggestion. Now I am not insulting your letter writing skills Sirius, but the best way that you can make the next move is by confronting her in person. You were always the actor of the group and I know you can convince her that we didn't 'redecorate' the staff room, and that you will not tell any of the professors that she is guilty on the condition that she does not blame any of her future foolery on us without our consent.
Now go and do whatever you have to do then get yourself here because I know you haven't even started that potions assignment that is due today, and you know how much our potions professor loves you as it is.
Your Friend,
Moony
