Thoughts On Summer

"Seriously, Si – What is the deal with you two?" James asked his best friend, while of course running his hand through his untidy hair and day dreaming of Lily.

"I have no idea what you talking about," Sirius replied, too quickly adding "so Lily …" to try and get James off track.

"Lily!" James screamed and started talking about her.

"No, I refuse to let us get off track- James" Lupin yelled at his friends to try and get them back on track, "Sirius what is the deal with you and Fifi?"

"She's my best girl friend" Sirius replied.

"OHHH! Girl Friend!" James and Peter replied laughing at him and pointing their fingers, while Remus just shook his head at their immaturity.

"So you do like her like her," James questioned him friend.

"I … I mean a," Sirius tried to find the right words to say while hiding himself with his hands to keep from showing his best friends his red embarrassed face, " I meant she's my best friend of the opposite sex."

"You so like her Padfoot," James simply replied while he, Peter and Remus started laughing.

"Do we have to talk about this, please? I mean she's awesome, but its summer-schools ganna start soon and we haven't spoken all summer," Sirius let out. He automatically regretted his words and flopped onto James bed (well they were all staying at the Potters house).

"You and Filomena haven't been owling?" Remus asked, as James gave out a "Dude, sorry I was messing with you". They both than looked at Peter who realized he should respond with something "uhh yeah" he said " sorry."

Sirius looked up and automatically felt bad for snapping at them, "Sorry guys, its just I miss her … and"

"Its cool Padfoot," they chorused.

"Oh and Moony." Sirius said.

"Yeah"

"Don't call her Filomena – she hates it,"

"Sorry man" Remus then walked over to James and whispered, "He wants her so bad".

"I know dude, weirdness."

" Fifi?" Lily questioned her best friend. Lily sitting there in Gabi's room watched as Fifi threw multiple pieces of paper in the trash.

"Fifi what is wrong?" Margo questioned.

"Its complicated … see like I, well. Nevermind," Fifi responded not able to find the right words to tell her friend what she had just been up too and what she hadn't been up to all summer.

" Fifi honey. Me and Lily and Margo have been your best friend since first year. You can tell us everything. In fact, you have to tell us everything, or we can blackmail you. We can and we will. What is wrong? We will support you no matter what because we love you," Gabi told her.

"Promise?" Fifi questioned them.

"DUH!" the three other girls responded simultaneously.

"Sirius and I haven't oweled all summer." Fifi responded looking down at her feet looking ashamed as if she deserved to be smacked.

"WHAT," Gabi yelled.

"NO FREAKING WAY" Margo screamed.

"THAT'S NOT A FUNNY JOKE." Lily threw at her.

" Its not a joke. I was going to, but when he didn't I just lost courage," all three of her best friends looked at her and smiled, "but today when I woke up- I knew I was coming here Gabi and I promised myself I would send him a letter. "She looked at her friends huge grins and quickly added " I mean he's my best guy friend so this isn't a big deal"

"Yeah, of course its not a big deal, I mean that's why you look so ashamed," Margo commented.

" And that's why you are turning bright red," Lily told her.

"Not to mention that of course its not big deal, I mean I can tell my looking at the FOUR FOOT HIGH PAPER MOUNTIAN you have made in my room with the letters not to send him," Gabi calmly said with her voice a little raised to make her point.

" Okay, okay I get the point," Fifi told them and then sat down at the desk to make a letter.

Dear Si,

How have you been all summer? I've missed you.

"No, no scratch the "I've missed you"" Fifi says out load.

"Actually Hun, you have missed him to why not say it," Lily question. But when getting an evil glare from Fifi she said "but than you know, maybe not saying it's a great idea". And With that she walked over to Gabi and Margo and tells them " She is so crazy about him."

Finally the letter was done. Short and simple. To the point. Fifi was about to post it on her beautiful snowy owl Anne when Margo stole it from her, and read it out load to the girls.

" Dear Si," She began while Lily and Gabi through questioning looks at each other.

" I though only the marauders called him that" Lily questioned.

" No, I call him that too," Fifi said but went back to looking at the ground.

Margo started reading it again, and Fifi hid in the pillows of Gabi's bead. " How have you been since school got out? We haven't really talked? Well, see you when school starts."

"Short and Simple" Gabi said looking at Fifi disapprovingly.

"To the point," Lily replied looking disgusted.

"Exactly," replied Fifi not noticing their upset looks and tones and with that she stuck the letter on Anne and said " Take it to Si- he's most likely with James."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sirius looked up at the window when he heard the bang. The three other boys where absorbed in other things- James and Peter in wizards chess and Remus was reading. "That's her owl" Sirius cried jumping up and down. He stopped when he saw all three of them look at him with cheesy grins.

"I knew she would send him something," James whispered to Remus and Peter, as Sirius ran to the window, let the owl in and grabbed the letter. The other boys watched him as he tore it open smiling a very large out of character grin. Then they saw him look even happier if that was possible, run to James desk and start writing a letter. The three boys looked at each other smirking until Sirius shouted, "What do I say?"

"Jesus Padfoot how do talk to her in real life if you can't write her a letter," James questioned.

"That's a bit rich coming from the Lily Stalker," Sirius shouted

" Anyways, SIRIUS" Remus hated when he had to shout to get there attention, but it always worked the heads snapped right back at him. "Answer what ever questions she asked and ask how her summer was," and than a little quieter but full of hope he said "and tell her you've missed her".

"What? I haven't missed her" Si tried to say but was cut of by Peter yelling " Just write the danm letter."

Sirius finished and looked over his work once more before giving the letter to Anne.

Dear Fifi,

My summer has been okay. Boring- the boy's aren't very funny- or they are but its just annoying sometimes. We haven't talked this summer. Kind of sad, huh? Well see you tomorrow on the train.

Love,

Si

And with that before the boys could grab it from him, he sent the letter back to the girl who had occupied his thoughts all summer.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Oh my god" Margo squeaked as she looked out of Gabi's kitchen. All three of the other girls turned to look and see what Margo was Oh my godding at. Anne had a letter from Sirius, already. It had only been a few hours. Mr. And Mrs. Smith both looked at the owl and than at the girl with questioning faces. Fifi ran at the owl grabbed the letter and headed up the stairs to Gabi's room skipping them two by two. Her best friends new she was happy, because the only times she forgot her manners where when she was really happy or really sad – and Sirius tended to make her really happy.

The next day her friends where all ready sitting on the ground of Gabi's room while Fifi ran around doing her packing last minute, as always.

" He said love?" Margo asked looking at Fifi to make sure she was not reading the letter wrong.

"Hey, where did you get that? Don't read that- that's mine." Fifi blurted out in one breath.

"He said love, dang he must really like you." Gabi told her.

"Or, he is my best friend," Fifi retorted secretly hopping he liked her.
