Author's note: I know James didn't get with Lily until 7th year but in my fic she started to go out with him in 5th. I am going away for over a week so there won't be any more updates until I get back. I hope to write lots while I am away though!
Dear Minerva,
Swimming in the lake!? In January! Whatever will he think of next! Still if he gets a nice cold he will soon learn his lesson. I laughed when I heard you had pushed him off to do his detention with Filch, I quite understand what you mean when you say you couldn't spend one more hour with him this week, at least he has done all the detentions he got before Christmas! I hope he gives you peace for a while,

Dear Minerva,
When you say inappropriate songs how inappropriate are we talking about? I think it was rather clever to sing it in the great hall so no one missed out, he is so considerate and kind. I hope the songs didn't offend you or any of the other teachers except perhaps Binns I wouldn't mind if he got insulted. I am sorry that it means you have to do more detentions with him but at least it's only three days!

Dear Minerva,
I am quite sure he had a good reason for climbing on the roof perhaps he was getting something down? As no one was hurt wasn't taking away 100 points a little harsh? But I do get your point that that way you don't have to dole out any detentions. I am glad that last week's carolling didn't offend anyone but I am also a little disappointed that Binns didn't get insulted not that I would let James know that because he would just start a vendetta against him if he knew I didn't like him. Soon it will be February hasn't it gone fast?

Dear Minerva,
I am sure he does understand that the forbidden forest gets its name because it is forbidden if not I am sure your detentions will help him remember, perhaps it was a dare? Okay I back down taking away 100 hundred points wasn't harsh after everything you have had to put up with from him. I am sorry that you don't think the year is going fast, I am sure it will pick up speed soon. I do not agree that it is time to let bygones be bygones with Binns, when I said I would hold a grudge forever I meant forever. That man (or spirit anyway) mortally offended me. He thought I was a boy for seven years. I would never have found out if after graduation he hadn't patted me on the head and said "see boy I knew you could do it!" and he didn't even have the grace and tact to pretend he had got the wrong person. No he had to say he had always thought I was a boy ! I mean Dorea is not a boy's name! Mind you I don't think he knew my name but I am still never going to forgive him, ever.

Dear Minerva,
I think my son has splendid taste, if I was a Slytherin I would love my common room to be pink. How can they put up with yucky green all the time! At least red is like pink so I was always happy to be in Gryffindor not that that was the only reason I liked being in Gryffindor mind! I think we should just stop the Binns conversation, I don't want to waste my time talking about that OBVIOUSLY BLIND idiot. I nearly cried when you said Sirius had got another howler, why can't they leave that poor boy alone? Is there anything you can do to stop them reaching him?

Dear Minerva,
I am sorry to hear that my son has turned Malfoy's hair red. Actually that's a lie I am not sorry at all. There has been four attacks on muggle borns this week and I bet Lucius' parents were behind every single one of them! Besides I expect James was just trying to cheer Sirius up. I understand that there is nothing you can do, I think I will ask Sirius if he wants to spend all of the summer break with us. He was so well behaved at Christmas, well apart from a few little mishaps.

Dear Minerva,
March! Now you can't possibly say that the year is not flying by. It seems like only yesterday we were stuffing ourselves with turkey. But anyway on to the reason I am writing. James was in the restricted section of the library without permission? I expect he was doing homework. He is such a good boy. I expect he used his dads old invisibility cloak to get there, he is clever! I think your detention was quite unfair after all homework has to be done I expect he simply didn't have time to get a note.

Dear Minerva,
I hear James has got himself another detention, being out after curfew tut tut. I am sure he had a very good reason even if he didn't want to share it. So the time he was in the restricted section he was getting a book on the worst Quidditch accidents ever recorded? Well I still say that it could have been homework! Dumbledore has had his beard cut?? Send me a picture please!

Dear Minerva,
Happy Valentines day! He was climbing into that Lily Evans girl's window with some roses!? He is so romantic and sensitive. I wish Charlie was more like that, I got a Chinese take-away in front of the TV and a new vacuum cleaner. He better not be hinting anything! I hope you get lots of cards!
Dori
P.S OMG Dumbledore's hair cut or rather beard cut looks hilarious!

Dear Minerva,
James has been duelling? I do hope he wasn't hurt. I bet that Slytherin started it. My poor little Jamsie. I am happy to hear he won. He gets that from his dad, Charlie is very proud he keeps telling everyone about it though I tell him that it is not something we should encourage. Was Sirius his second?

Dear Minerva,
I think it is most unfair to give my little Jamsie a detention for kissing a girl. I think it is adorable, isn't he growing up fast! I can't believe the girl was Lily Evans!! He has wanted her for so long, I told you us Potters always get what we want! I am glad to hear Sirius was his second, they make such a good team.

Dear Minerva,
I am sorry to hear that Jamsie has offended the fat lady, he used to be such a polite little boy. She wouldn't let anyone in for four hours!? That is quite amusing so you can't really punish him for laughing. I am sure James is being a perfectly good influence on Lily and I refuse to hear otherwise. Her recent habit of being out after curfew probably has nothing to do with him. When you said he hadn't grown up at all and needed to do it fast I had to laugh! Charlie is just the same and yet he is nearly fifty so I would give up hope if I was you.
