Dear Teddy,

I waited after class for Drew today. I should stop calling him that, it almost slipped up when I was asking him a question today. I was waiting for him since he called me back in the middle of class. He was shuffling papers and starting to talk to me about the homework. It was kind of stupid and impulsive, but as soon as he looked up I leaned over the desk and kissed him right on the lips. Don't worry - I checked that nobody was watching. When we pulled back, he sighed and stepped back.

"I think we need boundaries." Of course. Laying down the law on me, just like everybody else. Restrictions, restrictions. It's something you get used to, I guess.

"Alright. Like?"

"Like..." he hesitated, thinking. "Not in public."

"Oh, really? Damn, I was going to show you off to my friends tomorrow," I joked, but he didn't laugh. I rolled my eyes. "What else?"

"I don't know. I'll think of them when they come. Just don't be an idiot, OK?"

"Impossible," I laughed and flipped my hair behind my shoulder.

"What's gotten into you?" he chuckled, licking his lips. I pulled myself up so I was sitting on his desk.

"I don't want to go to History. We're learning about the second wizarding war and it's so boring," I told him. He sighed and shooed me off the desk with his papers. I wasn't lying or anything. We are learning about the war and it is so boring because it's all about dad and mum and Hermione and Ron and it's enough to make anybody want to shoot themselves in the face. I can't believe I have to go from learning about them here to living with them at home.

"I'm not excusing you, so go."

"Can I get a kiss before I go?" I leaned over the desk and pecked him on the lips. It feels really fun to do those kind of things. I felt like my own person. Kind of stupid, I know.

Things have been going much to well here, it's almost eerie. Who knows, maybe I'll even get a letter from you, the way things are going. Alison and Hannah and them are back, once again. I mean, as you could expect. We're hanging out a lot more. I sit with them in class and stuff. It's not fully mended or anything, and it's nothing like what my parents have, but it's something.

Christmas is coming, really soon. You can feel it. There's snow everywhere and people are starting to rap up the year. Rose is stressing about some exams she has to do. On that note, I have some exams coming up, don't I? I should probably start listening in class.

I'll talk to you later,

Love Lily.
