Ch 5. Letters

Lily sat in her bed on the first night back to Hogwarts. Everyone else had fallen asleep, but she wanted to write just one more letter. She had already written her mum and dad about the Sorting and the Triwizard Tournament. She hoped they wouldn't be upset about her entering. She also asked them about Teddy becoming a professor. None of the Weasley-Potter students knew Teddy would be at Hogwarts. She suspected he had wanted to surprise them all. Either way she would see him tomorrow in class. Lily put it all out of her mind and went back to her writing.

Dear Kevin,

Thank you for your lovely letter. I read it as soon as I got on the train and it definitely brought a smile to my face. You are too sweet.

But now I'm all settled into my room. I'm just ready for football (quidditch) to begin. Our team should be really good this year. Oh, and I just found out we're going to have this big competition between the schools in our area (Triwizard Tournament). One student gets picked and competes against the others. I really want to be picked. It's a lottery. We will find out soon! Wish me luck.

So how is school for you? Any exciting classes? I can't wait to hear back from you.

Always,

~Lily

Lily put the letter away. She thought she had been careful to mention her life, but left out the magically part of would go to the Owlery before her first class to send it off.

Five Days Later…

Lily sat in her bed and opened her much anticipated letter.

Dearest Lily,

I'm so happy you settled into school well. And I too am sad to know we won't see each other for awhile. But hopefully our letters will keep us going until then.

I was excited to hear about your school contest. I hope you get picked. I know how competitive you are since you never let me win anything, not even when we would play cards in the park. You have to let me know if you are picked. You will be wonderful.

My classes are boring. My favorite one is Astronomy. I love looking at the stars. Now since I've let you in on that secret, I hope when you look at the stars you think of me. Let me know how your classed start.

And when we come home from break, do you think I could meet your brothers? You talked about them over the summer and they sound quite interesting. I would really enjoy learning more about your family.

Well be safe, my Flower. I have to cut this short, because there is an all school assembly, but I wanted to send you a little something back. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours,

Kevin

Lily sighed and shifted into her bed. She would write Kevin tomorrow. She drifted into sleep and dreamt about the stars, shining bright and silver.

A/N: Okay, this chapter is really short. It will all make sense soon.
