A/N: Second chapter here, do enjoy and please, please review! x

Status: Apologetic?

Where: Cosy Head dorms

So, I haven't updated you, dearest diary, for a whole week now. I am sure you've been expecting endless amazing tales as to explain why I have not filled you in. And the excuse is...

Nothing.

My life has been the opposite of adventurous lately let me tell you. What's so interesting about lessons? That's all I've been doing. NEWTS this and NEWTS that. And to think I thought last year was bad.

Anyway, I am making a vow directly to you, dearest diary, to update you on every little thing that happens in my life. Be it interesting or not. I promise not to just write in here when I'm bored (like I am now, by the way, I'm shocked I actually managed to have time to be bored).

Toodle Doo for now.

Where: History of Magic

Notes Alice and I share in History of Magic because we are such eager and keen students:

Alice – So Lily-dee dumpling, enjoying history?

Me- Immensely. Enjoying staring at Frank?

Alice- Lily! Frank is my friend, hold your mouth!

Me- Look at me Alice. See that smug grin on my face? It knows more.

Alice- Looking forward to your heads meeting tonight?

Me- You're insane.

And that was the end of those notes.

In other news; Robert smiled at me again! And he even said hi. Alice thinks he's into me but I told her that's impossible, he is still going out with Sandy, but Alice seems to think he dumped her last term. She is still pouty about it, because somewhere in that head of hers, she thinks I'm destined to be with James Potter. But let's not go into that again.

Talking of James Potter, Alice was right; I do have a heads meeting with him tonight. I'm interested to see whets he's like in the role of Head Boy again.

Wish me luck!

Where: My bed

So, tonight. Wow. Um. Where do I start?

Well the Heads meeting went well, without much fuss. After that James and I made our way back to our dorms (we have our own common room, how cool is that, seriously), and we decided neither of us were very tired. So we made ourselves comfy by the fire and we just...we talked. Loads. We didn't talk about serious things; he would crack jokes and tell me silly tales and I would laugh and put in my two pence.

You might be wondering why on earth that's such a big deal, why would I even mention it, but I don't know. I just felt so relaxed, so calm. I felt like we could have been friends for years, how easy it was to talk to him.

And the strangest thing was, it made me sad. I'm upset at the fact that I wasted so much time picking fights with him and looking for arguments and just us generally screaming our heads off at each other.

We wasted so much time when we could have been getting along and having fun and doing things like we did tonight. I feel ashamed and embarrassed for the way I treated him. One thing I've always hated is people who judge before they even know someone deep down. And that's exactly what I've done to James.

I know all my diary entries have been quite jovial and carefree, but I'm in my last year of Hogwarts for Merlin's sake, and it's high time I stop taking everything as a joke.

Yes, the work is a shitload, yes I'm tired and stressed, yes I've been an awful person to someone who is actually an alright guy underneath it all. And yes, I feel crap about it.

I just hope now that I can make amends for everything I've done. My new personal mission is to make James Potter and even his little cronies, forget about how I acted towards them before.

And that is going to be some mission.

Where: Breakfast table

So I managed to track down Peter on the way to breakfast today. I figured he'd be the easiest of the bunch. This is how it went down:

Me: Peter! Do you mind if I have a word? (I used my sweetest voice)

Peter: Uhh Sure thing Evans! (Poor bloke looked so worried)

Me: Look, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for annoying the heck out of you, it's the last year and I just want to clear things up with people...Is that okay? (Another sweet smile)

Peter: Umm alright Evans, I forgive you!

Me: It's Lily!

And then he scuttled away with an awkward nod.

Well, one down. I'm quite happy actually. One step closer to complete absolvement.

I'm going to reward myself with an extra helping of whatever we're having for breakfast. I never said I didn't have an appetite.

Where: Ancient Runes

Remus isn't going to be that difficult to talk to, I got on with him, fellow prefect and all! Actually, let's just forget Remus altogether, he won't mind.

So then there's Sirius Black. Insert gulp here. He's going to be the difficult one to get round. Let me explain to you the wonder that is Sirius Black.

Sirius, whilst being a very popular lad, has very few close friends. He's a very, very secretive person. Nobody knows much about his life. He's just Sirius. Fun loving, carefree and obnoxious.

So why would he give me the time of day to grovel? I'm going to have to come up with a cunning plan.

I've informed Alice of my Mission Marauders (as she named it), and we've made some interesting plans. I call them:

Plans Alice and I came up with to lure the dangerous, corrosive Sirius Black to our attention during a very boring Ancient Runes class:

Plan One: We corner Black when he is heading to the Quidditch Pitch to fly (he does this every Wednesday at 8pm. I shudder to think how Alice knows this). And we will have a giant net waiting to capture him just before he enters the changing rooms.

Let me clarify, plan one is entirely Alice's idea, thus entirely stupid.

Plan Two: We stalk him around the castle until he's alone and put him at wand-point so he can't escape.

Courtesy to me for that idea. But Alice thinks it is slightly barbaric. But only slightly.

Plan Three: We stalk him around the castle and then make a distraction so we somehow get him alone. Then we shoot green gunk at him through our wands until hest raped as a green goo slug on the floor so he has no choice other than to listen to me.

Alice's idea again. So third year.

So after all those failed attempts we came up with an amazing plan. So simple, yet so...Okay it's just to go up to him and say "Hey Sirius, can I have a word?"

Yeah. Why did it take me so long to think of this again. I blame my sleep deprived brain. And Alice Prewett.
