Letters

James,
I am currently arranging to transfer to Beauxbatons as it is very likely that I will lose my sanity while we are Heads.
Your friend,

Lil,
James fainted and cracked his head open after receiving your letter and we had to rush him off to St. Mungo's. He's staying there for a few nights. I know it was rather rude of me, but I wanted to see what caused such a reaction so I read the letter. Are you really going to transfer?
All the best,
Remus

Remus,
It was a joke! He pulls those kinds of things on people all the time! I didn't think he would take it seriously…
Meet you tomorrow morning at 10 in the main lobby? I feel responsible for this and would like to visit him.

Lil,
Tell him that tomorrow, he's acting ridiculously depressed.
See you tomorrow.
All the best,
Remus

Lily,
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME IT WAS A JOKE.
Your boyfriend,
James

James,
I thought it was obvious! In all seriousness, I honestly think it might be fun to be heads together. Honestly. I wouldn't transfer just because of that.
Speaking of heads…your swelled a ton.
Your friend,

Lily,
Really? I suppose I forgive you then, because you were obviously desperately begging for my forgiveness when you came to St. Mungo's.
Why thank you.
Your boyfriend,
James

James,
I wouldn't put it that way; I was paying attention to the healers, since that's what I'm planning on doing once I leave Hogwarts. Godric, that's this year, isn't it?
Your friend,
Lily

Lily,
I'm glad that I have such a good friend as you who is in deep distress when her friend is on the brink of death.
I remember you talking about that when we all met with McGonagall in our fifth year to talk about careers. I'm still set up to be an auror, I just have to get old Sluggy to let me by with a good enough potions grade this year.
Your boyfriend,
James

James,
Oh please. You were fine enough to charm that poor healers cart to lose a wheel every minute! I'm sure you were far from "the brink of death."
Your dad is an auror, isn't he? And maybe if you studied, you wouldn't have to bribe Professor Slughorn with tins of pineapple.
Your friend,
Lily
AN: I put this chapter out early because 1. You guys are awesome, and 2. My last few chapters have been up late and this is my way of making it up to yo. I'll still put another chapter up this Sunday.
Thanks to all of you: WildfireLily (I saw HG and just about died every time Josh Hutcherson came on the screen! So hottttt), RavenclawsLeadingLady, Loslote (I think he'd still look gorgeous even with them on ;D), MayFairy (David Tennant was such a creepy—but good—Barty Crouch!), and DayDreaming0f y0u!
QotC: For those who had spring break, did you go anywhere? If you didn't have one or if you didn't travel, where would you want to go? Leave your answers in a review or PM! Mine would have to be Ireland, Britain, or Alaska.
Thanks for reading!
