A/N: Victorie, Cécile, and Nicholas are all Bill and Fleur's children. They had more than one-and this is my canon until JK says I'm wrong. And Fred Weasley is George's. Also, Ginny found James and yelled at him for quite a while for abusing his brother. And then he was sent back to his room, which he was all too happy to do, cause the Marauder's Map was in there. ;) Anyway...
Disclaimer: I forgot the other two chapters OMG!!! I own nothing. Wait, yes I do. I own Cécile and Nicholas. Bwhahahaha. :D
Dear James,
I hope your first week at Hogwarts is going well-mine certainly was eventful, although it was quite a different experience. Mum sends her love, and Lily is almost bursting with jealousy-she also would like to remind you that because you left for Hogwarts two weeks after making a deal with her, you still have two weeks of playing dolls with her to complete. There is some doll called Rosaline involved. I didn't ask questions, although I would like to know how you got yourself into playing dolls with your sister.
Anyway, I want full details on any friends you are making-I don't care about Houses, I just want names. Last names, especially. I may know their parents. Uncle Ron would like to add, 'Beware of the tetchy Slytherins, James. And if there are any Malfoys, use Langlock. Or Levicorpus. Or use it on any Slytherin, really.'
I believe Fred is a sixth year now-don't let him push you around, although I doubt he would anyway, you two are too much alike. Victorie and Cécile should treat you all right, even though you set Cécile's hair on fire last year. And Nicholas is only a year older than you. And I'm sure you've met Peeves by now, and if you haven't, consider yourself lucky.
Hagrid was so excited about meeting you that he sent me a letter. Oh, and tell Neville hi for us. I was working the last time he came for tea. Oh, and speaking of work…
I must say I'm impressed, James. I don't know how you managed to unstick yourself from that doorknob-I must imagine that it was quite a feat-and stealing the Marauder's Map must've been tricky too. I won't tell you how to operate it-you may have figured it out yourself-but once you have, it's worth it. I am both impressed and mildly irritated that you have broken into my office. I've had to come up with new security measures to keep you out of there.
Mum and I are pleased that you've landed yourself in Gryffindor. Albus had quite a scare after you tormented him like that. He's now terrified of being in Slytherin. James, when you get home, you're going to be locked in your room for quite a while. Consider this as mercy. Be glad that I found out about this after you left. Mum isn't being as hard on you as she should be. You should be on the receiving end of her Bat Bogey Hex. So now you can look forward to coming home for the summer holidays.
Take care, James. And take care of the Map, as well. When you unlock it, know this: Prongs' name was also James.
Love,
Dad
