A/N: I'm back!
Dear Darling Danica-James didn't say anything about you. But don't take it personally, I don't think he likes girls in that way yet.
Your awesome friend,
Jessi
…
Jessi-
Nothing?
Danica
…
Danica-
Nothing.
Jessi
…
Lily-
How's your vacation so far? Mine's pretty ordinary; James always seems like he's up to something, Dad's always working, and Mum's on one of her cleaning frenzies. I miss you!
-Jessi
…
Jess-
Yours sounds better than mine! My parents are o.k., they're really excited that I'm back. My sister is a nightmare, though, she won't stay in the same room as me for more than a minute, and she's said three words to me the whole time: Hello, Ew, and Freak.
-Lily
…
Lily-
I'm sorry!
-Jess
…
Sabrine-
Jessi said that James didn't say anything about me.
-Danica
…
Danica-
That's all right, Dani! Boys don't mature as fast as girls; he probably still thinks we have cooties!
-Sabrine
…
James-How are your holidays? Mine suck. Thanks a lot.
Sirius
…
Sirius-Sorry, mate!
James
…
James-Do you think Sirius is mad at us?
-Peter
…
Peter-Yup.
-James
…
Remus-Sirius is mad at us.
-Peter
…
Peter-Thanks.
-Remus

"So, Lily, how's your school?"
"It's great, mum! They teach us so much; Charms, Transfiguration, Potions. They even have a flying class!"
"Have you made any friends?" Mrs. Evans asked, spooning small servings of vegetable soup into four bowls.
"Loads!" Lily exclaimed. "There's Danica, she's the kind of wild one, she wants to dye her hair blue, then there's Sabrine, she's really quiet, but her and Dani are best friends. And Jessi, she's really cool, too."
"So you like it there?" Mr. Evans questioned, slicing up the roast beef for Christmas Eve supper.
"Oh, yes!"
"Well that's good."
Lily nodded and began setting the table.
"Petunia, dear, it's time for supper!"
The blonde walked into the dining room slowly. She glared at Lily and plucked down in her chair.
Mr. and Mrs. Evans brought out the food, and the family began eating. They were halfway through their meal when a large, tawny owl flew through the window and landed on Petunia's plate.
"Erg! Get it away from me!" She screeched, backing away from the table.
"Calm down, Tunia, it's just an owl! She's harmless, I swear!" Lily shouted. She picked up the huge bird and untied the letter it carried. "It's Sabrines'."
Once the owl had flown back through the window, Petunia turned to Lily.
"You-you freak!" She hissed, and ran upstairs. The rest of the family finished the meal in an awkward silence.
…
"Jessi, for the last time, there is NO WAY I'm going to tell you what I got you for Christmas!"
"Aw, come on James! Just one little hint?"
"No!"
"You're no fun."
"Nope."
The twins sat together in James' room. James flipped through his collection of Quidditch magazines, and Jessi watched a toy Quidditch game. The fake arena consisted of an oval container, about five feet in length, with tiny Quidditch players flying around on miniscule broomsticks. The detail was extraordinary. It even had stands, an announcer, and tiny screaming, cheering fans.
"You trying out for Quidditch next year?" Jessi asked.
"Of course!"
"What position?"
"Whatever's open."
"Think you'll make it?"
"Yup."
"Not getting egotistical, are we?"
"Hm?"
"So what are you getting me for Christmas?"
…
Lily-
How's your break so far? Mine's pretty good, I'm in Denmark at the moment, visiting my grandparents.
-Sabrine
…
Sabrine-I've been at home all break so far. Petunia hates me.
-Lily
…
Lily-I'm sorry.
-Sabrine
A/N: That's it! Now go review! Next chapter is Christmas! And I'll warn you now, it's gonna be very sad.
