Breakfast Memo of Lily Evans

Time: 8.00am

Must thank Alice again for personalised stationary set for birthday)

Eat breakfast as quickly as possible.

ESCAPE WATCHFUL EYES OF ENTIRE HALL!

... Lily ...

Yes, Alice? Anything wrong?

Would you PLEASE, for MERLIN'S SAKE, stop being so bloody paranoid! No one is looking at you so get over it!

Don't swear. Prefects don't swear.

What, and Head Girls do?

I don't swear.

Pft…You probably swear more than anyone I know…Besides, bloody isn't a swear word. Oh, and stop changing the subject. Remember, we were talking about how paranoid you are?

I'm not being bloody paranoid!

Yes you are! It's driving me crazy!

Have a look around, Alice – I won't because I don't want to make eye contact with anyone. I repeat: I am not being bloody paranoid.

LILY! NO-ONE IS LOOKING AT YOU – oh…well…James is…and…Diggory is…and Diggory's new bimbo girlfriend is…um…well, I still think you're being paranoid. The entire hall isn't staring at you – Remus Lupin isn't looking at you.

And everyone else? What are they looking at?

Uh…you?

Bloody brilliant…

Merlin…even the Slytherins keep glancing at you…

Even better…

That thing between you and Diggory must have been quite the little dramatic soap opera.

No, not dramatic. It's just the first slightly abnormal thing to happen in ages around here.

You're underestimating the situation, aren't you?

No! Trust me – there are better things to worry about; like escaping the Great Hall. NOW!

Aw, but I wanted to see Frank before first class…

Supportive friend you are… :( Don't worry. I'll catch you later in Transfiguration.

See you then.

Bye.

Note to self –

Mum's birthday present!!!!! Hang on, why don't I transfigure something?

Work out plan to avoid eating lunch in Great Hall.

A Correspondence From Lily Evans

Hi Mum!

How are you? How are Dad and Petunia?

Happy Birthday!

I've attached your birthday present to this letter – see the package. I hope you like them! I charmed them to change colour and specie every now and then and to live much longer than they normally do.

Say hi to everyone for me!

An Intellectual and Completely Relevant Memo of Lily Evans

Time: 9.08am

I hate transfiguration. I hate transfiguration. I hate transfiguration.

…

I can see why Alice wrote 'An Intellectual and Completely Relevant Memo'. I have now demonstrated my knowledge of three words. Very intelligent.

Lily, why are we sitting in the back row? I thought that we were front row nerds.

We're front row nerds in disguise. We're sitting at the back so that Potter and Diggory can't see me but I can see them. That means that I can glare at them and they can't see me glaring at them. By the way: why have you got my name on your stationary? I don't remember agreeing to become your assistant.

Well neither do I, but you're still my assistant director – whether you like it not!

Fine, whatever. Can you please stop writing to me? Other wise I'm going to fail Transfiguration and end up as a muggle bin collector.

What? You won't fail. Stop being so pedant –

DON'T CALL ME PEDANTIC! OR PARANOID!

I can hear the red head temper escaping just slightly…scary… not…

Shut up and stop teasing me. I'm trying to listen.

Fine. Partypooper.

That is so immature, it's hilarious.

Fine. Talk to you later.

Hello! You are reading a memo from the currently single James Benjamin Potter! Interested in a date to Hogsmeade? Contact me through owl. Offer opened for a limited time only and conditions apply. Offer only open to gorgeous red headed Head Girls.

Time: 9.30am

Hi Lil! How are you going?

You know, there actually a reason behind me sitting at the back and well away from you. And don't call me 'Lil'!

You think sitting at the other side of the classroom is going to stop me sending notes to you via paper plane?

Perhaps. Now I read your stationary properly… WHAT THE HELL? WHY IS MY NAME BEING INFERED ON YOUR STATIONARY????

Please, don't tell me you actually think that I asked Alice to write that…

Then why in Merlin's name does it say THAT?

This morning, Alice offered me a free sample kit of Personalised Stationary and I took that offer. She turned all of my parchment into Personalised Stationary… very annoying… and she decided to be smart as well and place a permanent charm on the writing… I haven't had a chance to get down to Hogsmeade.

I should have known there was something suspicious going on when she asked me about the most powerful permanent sticking charm that I knew…

Anyway, you didn't answer my question: How are you?

Potter… I'm warning you… please don't go there…

What, Lil? I mean, Lily. I haven't done anything.

Look Potter, I made it quite clear to never bring that matter up again.

I just asked how you were! I didn't even mention last term or Diggory!

Just forget about it, ok? Stop writing to me – I have to pass transfiguration this year.

Lily? You alright? You're looking a little teary.

I'm perfectly fine.

Someone's in a shitty mood…

And it's about to get worse. I don't get this transfiguration stuff! And I've missed most of the lesson because of passing notes! I'M GOING TO FAIL AND BECOME A MUGGLE BIN COLLECTOR!!!!

What is you obsession about muggle bin collectors??? And you're not going to fail. I know you: you'll spend the next term waking up before dawn and going to bed after midnight to read text books and study. I would advise not to do that because otherwise you'll get sick and then you will miss even more class but I doubt that you'll listen to me. If you're so worried about transfiguration, get a tutor. I would tutor you, but you're better at transfiguration than me. So, will you get a tutor?

I don't know. It would be too weird though! I'm normally the one who tutors other people…

Besides, this bad mood isn't on account of transfiguration, is it?

Of course it is! I don't want to fail!

No, Lil. It's about those notes between you and James, isn't it? Are you ever going to tell me what happened last term?

Maybe someday… but I doubt it. For now, I'm listening to McGonagall. Step one to passing transfiguration: pat attention in class.

Fine. I'm holding you to the former part of your oath – the'maybe someday' bit.

A note from sleazy, sexy Siri.

Time: 10.25am

S.B Isn't this quill awesome? It writes down exactly what you want to write and you don't have to write it!

R.L Since when did you like quills, 'sleazy, sexy Siri'??? You never use them unless it's absolutely critical that you do… but you are right… the quill is useful… I don't have to spend half an hour attempting to decipher one sentence that you've written.

S.B Shut up, Moony. This title is Alice's fault… It's not getting to me though. So, everyone on for Thursday night? Full moon, people! (in case anyone has forgotten…)

R.L Well, I forgot. Thanks for reminding me, Padfoot.

P.P You forgot?!?!?!?

R.L Yup. I forgot.

P.P Really? Are you serious?

S.B No, I'm siri –

J.P Padfoot – shut up! Don't use that clichéd and completely over-used line!!!

P.P Remus did you really forget?? Merlin…

J.P Wormtail, he's being sarcastic. Moony, don't use sarcasm if you're not going to make it obvious enough.

R.L It was obvious! Wormtail was just being gullible! James, what happened with Lily? Is that why you're in such a horrendous mood?

J.P Who said I'm in a horrendous mood? I'm not in a bad mood because of Lily. And nothing happened with Lily. Why would something happen with Lily? Why would Lily make me get in a bad mood?

P.P Hey! I'm not gullible!

R.L Prongs, you repeated Lily four times! Are you sure that nothing happened?

J.P Nope, nothing happened at all. Why would something happen? Never has and probably never will…

R.L Fine, I'll leave it for now…

P.P I'M NOT GULLIBLE!!!

S.B Can I talk now? Prongs told me to shut up… :(

R.L It's never stopped you before.

S.B True. :) ok Wormtail – do you really think that you're not gullible?

P.P Yup. I am not gullible.

S.B You really believe that?

P.P Uh-huh. Sure do.

S.B Really, really believe that?

P.P YES!

S.B Really, really, really believe that you are so no gullible that your not-gullibleness would save you if you fell off the astronomy tower???

P.P …huh? ...

J.P I agree. WTF Sirius?

S.B Fine, I'll just move onto the test to see if you're not gullible. Are you ready for this, Wormtail?

P.P For the last time, YES!!!

S.B Patience, my friend. Ok: your question is: did you know that the work 'gullible' was taken out of the dictionary?

J.P (…)

R.L (…)

P.P Of course I knew that! Why wouldn't I know that? I'm just as intelligent as the rest of you!

S.B But, do you know why it was taken out of the dictionary?

P.P um…. I'll have to think about it…. No, I'm not sure. Why was it taken out of the dictionary, Pad?

J.P (…)

R.L (…)

J.P So lame, Padfoot. Sorry, I can't sit in silence any longer. Padfoot, what is it with you and corny lines?

R.L You're in serious need of some new ones.

J.P Next time Alice is doing stationary, I am making your memo title up, Padfoot!!! Mwahahahahaha!

P.P But wait a moment, I really want to know: why was gullible taken out of the dictionary?

J.P (…)

R.L (…)

S.B (…)

J.P SIRIUS IS SPEECHLESS!!!! Remember this moment forever Moony so that we may pay tribute…

R.L Ok, these notes are becoming ridiculous. We're in potions, remember?

S.B He he he! Look at our darling Head Girl and Sluggie…

J.P If he gets any closer to her, I am going to throw myself over the desk at him and punch him until he can't tell up from down and –

R.L James! Enough! Control yourself!

S.B Hey Moony, I think James is a tad worried about the competition…

J.P I am not! There is no competition with him! Look at the way she is cringing as he complements her potion… ugh…

P.P Wouldn't it be funny if Slughorn and Lily went on a date?

S.B (…)

R.L (…)

J.P (…)

P.P What? Why won't anyone talk to me?

S.B Wormy: why would Lily and Sluggie go out? Number 1: It's Slughorn – he must be at least three times Lily's age.

R.L Number 2: Slughorn isn't allowed to take Lily on a date – it would violate the teacher/student relationships code of conduct.

S.B Number 3: Why would Lily go out with anyone at the moment? She probably hasn't gotten over the Diggory incident last term.

J.P SIRIUS! DON'T BRING THAT UP! LILY WILL KILL ME!

S.B Get over it mate; she won't find out. And number 4: Lily would be more likely to choose our Mr Potter to Sluggie. i.e it will never happen.

R.L Ye of little faith. You never know – James has changed this year. Maybe he and Lily will go out.

S.B Moony, don't give the kid false hope. But I guess he has changed a little this year. I mean, he isn't as big a toe rag.

R.L He isn't as arrogant or as big-headed.

S.B He doesn't play all that many pranks on people now.

P.P He doesn't like raspberry jam anymore – he likes apricot.

R.L (…)

S.B (…)

J.P I'm right here, you know.

S.B No, we never would have guessed that.

R.L No, Peter, he's being sarcastic. Sirius is daft but not that daft.

S.B Hey! I am not daft!

J.P Lily is biting her lip.

S.B Where did that come from?

J.P Lily. She's biting her lip. She must be uncomfortable….

R.L Well, Slughorn is still ranting on and on about her marvelous potion. She probably has reason to be slightly uncomfortable.

S.B Did you hear that? Lily: 'Sorry Professor Slughorn, but I have a Heads Meeting with Potter, now. I'm sorry, but it's very urgent.'

P.P Huh? James, you don't a have a Head Meeting today…

S.B It sounds like someone is trying to get out of potions. I don't think Little Miss Head Girl Lily Evans has done that before…

R.L She going quite well for a first timer… look at that completely innocent face…

S.B Sluggie: 'That's fine Lily. Your potion is absolutely spectacular – the rest of the class should be following in your outstanding example. See you next lesson, Lily! And you too, Mr Potter.

R.L She got out of potions like a click of the finger… Prongs? You with us?

J.P (…)

R.L Hurry up! You have a 'Heads Meeting', remember?

J.P Oh. Right.

S.B Go!!! Otherwise you'll have to stay in potions.

P.P AND DON'T ASK LILY OUT! ESPECIALLY AFTER THE DIGGORY INCIDENT!

S.B (…)

R.L (…)

J.P (…)

S.B Did Peter give the right girl advice???

J.P (…)

R.L (…)

S.B What is the world coming to?

J.P (…)

R.L GO JAMES! LILY IS WAITING!

J.P Right. See you in Defense Against the Dark Arts.

P.P Bye.

R.L Bye.

S.B Au revoir… and he's gone…

R.L Ok, what's with the French?

S.B Chick dig French.

R.L (…)

P.P So, anyway, why was gullible taken out of the dictionary?

S.B (…)

R.L (…)

P.P Ok, I'm feeling guilty… I should have admitted it at the start…what does the word 'gullible' mean????

Lil, hon? I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! YOU ARE SKIPPING YOUR FIRST EVER CLASS:) :) :) CONGRATS HEAD GIRL!!!

On a more serious note: some hints for your next wagging expedition:

Perhaps send person accompanying you on wagging expedition (e.g. Potter) a note so that they don't look completely stunned and forget to act along with the story.

Perhaps consider your choice in partner further. You took Potter and NOT ME!

DEFINITELY, don't leave your book behind in the class that you left! You actually need a quill and parchment at a Head meeting, don't you? And now you've given yourself another excuse to get into another ravishing conversation with Slughorn when you return to pick your books up. Luckily for you, your awesome friend is going to add your pile of books to her own. But in future, please remember your books because I really don't want to carry around more crap after class.

Oh well, I'll leave this memo in your homework folder.

Lots of love, your bestie,

Alice!

A note from sleazy, sexy Siri.

Time: 10.55am

Moony, what do you think are the odds of Prongsie-poo and Lilikins going out?

I haven't got a clue.

Yes you do. You just don't want to talk to me!

SIRIUS! I ACTUALLY WANT TO PASS POTIONS WITH A GOOD MARK! LEAVE ME ALONE!

I will… after you answer my question.

SIRIUS!

Come on: it's only one question. You know, it would be a hell of a lot quicker for you to just answer. I'm going to hassle you until you do!

I won't write back.

I don't mean hassle and annoy by writing. I mean hassle and annoy by… poking!

Alright, alright. Your answer: Lily has a lot of pride.

What is that meant to mean?

Well, she would need to swallow her pride if she was to go out with James. So your odds would be whether or not she can risk her reputation and pride to go on a date with James.

Ask and ye shall receive – well ask threaten to annoy, anyway.

If you don't leave me alone, I will hex you, ok?

Sheesh. Fine. Somebody's touch today. That time of month, heh Moony?
