Hmm, I do like this chapter, though it isn't told in first person like the rest. I really wanted to get to the summer chapters and seventh year (oh, the plans I have. . . ). I hope you like it!

Lunchtime
Dear Missy,
How are you? What have you been up to? Have you been taking your Wolfsbane? Did my father come and visit your family? He'd mentioned something about that last time he wrote me.
Life's been hectic since I returned to school. I've had a ton of studying to do, and year end exams are coming up (tomorrow, bleck). . .I hate tests. Thankfully I don't have to take O.W.L.s again this year. Maddie, Veronica, and Angelique are all doing them this year though, and they look much thinner because of it.
My love life's not much to talk about either. Well, William and I are great. . .I guess it's really Ricky's love life that's in a muddle. He's dating my roommate, Alice, who is all jealous of me for some reason. I suppose she's deluding herself into thinking that Ricky and I have a thing for each other. How thick can you get?
Maddie on the other hand has finally agreed to go on a "get together" with Cody Kamath (remember him? He was the guy who went for the nurse for me). He's very sweet, but Maddie's always been more like her dad in the relationship area of her life. Believe me, that's not the best thing in the world for her.
The twins have been going into the kitchens just before meal time to sneak Voice Mints in all of the food. Harry's pretty angry with them. They got detention with Professor Li for the rest of the school year. I'm not sure whether I should pity them or not. Though I was the victim of the Mints last Monday. I had to sing "Kiss Me" in front of my entire politics class (they stuck the Mint into my mid-afternoon snack).
Write back soon!
Your Friend,

Early Morning
Dear Enna,
Yes, Mother, of course I am! Must you check up on me so? Just kidding of course!
Actually, your dad did stop by a few days ago. Your mum came too! They were very nice and took us out to dinner. Your so lucky, Enna.
That's one thing about school I'm not looking forward to. I'd rather not take tests, but I guess that's one thing in life that one has to get use to. Tell everyone I wish them luck!
Glad to hear that you and William are still doing good. . .I don't see why Alice should be jealous of you if Ricky and you are just friends. Have you acted otherwise in front of her?
Cody sounds wonderful! I don't like boys yet though, so this topic is kind of lost on me. I'm willing to listen of course!
James and Sirius sound so funny! I can't wait to meet them next year!
Oh, guess what? My mum's going to have a baby! My parents just found out a few weeks ago, but mum said she's about three months along. I'll have a baby brother or sister in six months time! I can't wait!

Library, just after Potions
Dear Missy,
Sorry, love, just concerned for you. Though I'm sure that your parents have been fretting enough for the lot of us.
Ah, yes. I am! They are wonderful parents. . .Gosh, next time I see you remind me to tell you stories about them. Not bad ones, just nice ones about us being a family. Though I'm sure a few will make you laugh till you cry!
I'm sure you'll do fine. They aren't so bad once you know what to expect, then they're just bothersome. I told everyone that you wished them luck. They send you a very loud, "Thank you!"
I honestly don't think so. We haven't acted any different from when he wasn't dating Alice. . .We've always teased each other in good humor. I suppose she could mistake that for flirting. Great, just great. . .
Cody is, Cody is. Maddie's a lucky girl. . .oh, sorry! I'll be taking you up on that offer though.
. . . hmm, maybe it's not such a good idea to meet them? I dunno. I grew up with them, so they don't seem as. . . eccentric to me as they do to others.
Oh, wow! Congrats to you and your parents! I've always wanted a younger sibling. Have your parents discussed names yet?
I just found out that my friend Zarah Hunt is going to spend a month or so with me and my family during the summer starting in July! I'm so excited! We're going to have to spend a few days at the Burrow (my friend's grandparents home), but that's alright. My dad already double checked this with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and they said they'd gladly take us in.
Your Friend,
Enna

Just before Bedtime
Dear Enna,
I know, thanks.
I look forward to it!
Didn't Alice notice that before she and Ricky started dating? . . .Do you tease your other guy friends like that? Or just Ricky? That right there could be your problem.
I'm sure I could handle it. I met Everett, Joey, and Liam, remember?
If they have, they haven't told me yet. I'd really like a sister though.
Sounds like fun! None of my old friends have been allowed to spend the night since. . .well, you know.
Your Friend,
Missy

Hogwarts Train Station
Dear Missy,
I suppose not. . .or maybe she did, but never really cared about it. . .the thing is, Ricky's part of my Amortentia (a love potion, I'll explain this fully one day soon). Not that I don't like William, I'm just attracted to Ricky. It's all very confusing, but I've made my decision--I'm staying with William. He's always been there for me, and cared for me. Ricky has too, but we've been best friends for so long now, I can't imagine him any other way.
Right, you have! I'd forgotten. I'm sure you could handle meeting the twins. I was just joking with you, dear.
Oh, me too! My parents just didn't want to risk having another child. Personally, I don't think there's a risk, but, well, you've met my dad. He's over cautious in some matters.
How would you like to visit one day during the summer? Sometime after full moon so you'll be feeling up to a sleepover?
Ah, Freedom calls! I'm off to the train!
Your Friend,
Enna

I know, it was short (with many typos, bleck. I don't spot them too well)! Don't hurt me, please! The next chapter is longer, promise!
Reviews:
mouse10: SO sorry I forgot you last chapter! All the character's bios are in my profile.
bograt: That was THE fastest anyone's ever reviewed! Awesome. So glad you liked the chapter. . .and I think I've already addressed your other comments on IM. :D
MidnightDayDream: lol, well, life's life! I
calliope: In the author's note in the prologue I mentioned my inspiration. And contrary to what you've said, I think that my story's pretty good. Just ask the other people who've reviewed.
frizzyhead: Oh, that does sound pretty! I think I've seen a set like that someplace before. Glad you like the chapter, but what Ricky and Enna feel for each other most likely won't be worked out till near the end. . .Enna could always end up with a non-introduced character though, remember:D I know I'm mean.
starlover88: Ah! I'd love one like that! Or a purple one. Thanks for the review.
Marauders12: Thank you VERY much! I'm thrilled you like the story line.
Ginevra lily: -shifty eyes- Thanks!
