Skidding from his speed and the snow on his shoes, he ran into the side table in the living room. Hurrying to pick it up, he noticed the object of his attention sitting on the dining table. Teddy quickly kicked off his shoes and plopped into a seat at the table. He needed to know how she got the map. He just had to know.
"I don't exactly know what to say to either Lily or Dominique at this current time. Dominique, I'm actually really happy for you. Who bloody cares if he's an Umbridge, it only matters if he's a nice bloke or not. And if I find out he's doing anything that he's not supposed to be going (such as macking on you in corridors, ect.), I'll have to hex him, thanks. Lily, you're bloody brilliant. I don't think theres a word to describe you at this time. Anyway, I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving, and seeing as this takes about two weeks to get between all of us, we'll probably have one more entry after this and then you'll all be home for Christmas break. After that, it probably won't pick up again untill late January, seeing as I have a huge exam to take as soon as I get back from Christmas break. So after all that rambling, I'm sure you're all wondering what this entry is going to be, and I'm sure Teddy is getting aggravated that he's having to read all of this. Since Thanksgiving is rather a family affair, we'll be doing a Thanksgiving-family type of entry. We'll be writing which family members we were with this thanksgiving, what we're thankful for, and funniest moment out of all Thanksgivings. I think I already know what the funniest is going to be for most of you, and I'm sure it envolves Uncle George, mashed potatoes and Aunt Angelina."
Teddy Lupin
HOW THE BLOODY HELL DID YOU MANAGE TO SNEAK THAT OUT OF MY ROOM? Seriously Lily, you're bloody amazing. You should definetly be an Auror. I'm not even mad at you, thats how brilliant your sneakyness was.
Family members I was with- Victoire, Gran, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Grandmum Weasley, Grandad Weasley, Fleur, Bill, George, Angelina, Percy, Audrey, Molly and Charlie (yes he came in and I got to see him and most of you didn't, HA!).
Thankful for- A family that isn't really mine. I'm lucky I have Gran, but I'm even luckier that I have Gran and every bloody Weasley and Potter. That's what I'm thankful.
Funniest Thanksgiving moment- Definetly the George/Angelina moment. I'll never forget the look on Angelina's face when he threw the potatoes.

Victoire Weasley
Holy Merlin, Teddy. Do you think you used enough 'bloody's up there? Your Gran would be thrilled.
Family members I was with- Teddy, Daddy, Mum, Andromeda, Uncle Charlie (HA I GOT TO SEE HIM!), Uncle Percy, Aunt Audrey, Molly, Uncle George, Aunt Angelina, Uncle Ron, Aunt Hermione, Uncle Harry, Aunt Ginny, Gran and Grandad.
Thankful for- Love. And not just with Teddy, with everybody-the whole family. I'm thankful we can all get along now.
Funniest Thanksgiving moment- UNCLE GEORGE AND AUNT ANGELINA. It was so unsuspected, yet highly halarious. It still stands as the funniest moment in my life. I've never laughed so hard.

Molly Weasley
Wow Lily, you've got skill. And Congrats, Dom!
Family members I was with- Everybody that they said above, but with Chris added.
Thankful for- Not having any work to take home today! Oh I'm kidding. Kind of. But seriously, I'm thankful for finally being happy. It's been awhile since I've felt this good.
Funniest Thanksgiving moment- Uncle George and Aunt Angelina mashed potato fight. It was so bloody unsuspected, but so brilliant. Uncle George is amazing.

Dominique Weasley
Thank you Victoire and Molly. And damn Lily, you've got skill.
Family members I was with- Logan (although he doesn't count really), Roxy, Fred, Louis, James, Rose, Albus, Hugo and Lily. Oh and of course Hagrid and Professor Longbottom.
Thankful for- Family and friends. Even if I wasn't with some of the family this year for Thanksgiving, I was thinking about them all.
Funniest Thanksgiving moment- Victoire hit the bludger dead on. Uncle George and Aunt Angelina. Never, ever forget it.

Fred Weasley
Lily, I give you all the respect in the world. You pulled it off so damn well.
Family members I was with- Dom, Roxy, Louis, James, Rose, Albus and Lily. + Hagrid and Professor Longbottom.
Thankful for- Quidditch. Okay that and family if you all want me to get mushy.
Funniest Thanksgiving moment- Dad and Mum's mashed potatoe fight. I knew that they fought earlier before we got to The Burrow, but I didn't expect anything. I was sitting there all innocently and out of nowhere I see a big thing of mashed potatoes fly by my head and smack Mum right in the face. Dad busted the hell out laughing and didn't expect to get hit by a potatoe bomb himself. Best bloody family gathering ever.
--
Roxy Weasley
I wish I had Lily's brains.
Family members I was with- All the ones that Fred listed. I would write them down, but my hand kills from DADA notes today.
Thankful for- Family and friends, like Dom said. You don't really notice how bad you need them untill you get knocked down.
Funniest Thanksgiving moment- Flying mashed potatoes. Mum still gets mad at Dad when he brings it up.
--
Lucy Weasley
I didn't think you had the guts Lily. You amaze me.
Family members I was with- Dominique, Fred, Roxanne, Louis, James, Rose, Al, Hugo, Lily, Hagrid and Professor Longbottom.
Thankful for- Forgiveness. I wouldn't be talking to any of you if it wasn't for it.
Funniest Thanksgiving moment- Could it be anything else besides Aunt Angelina and Uncle George? I didn't think so.

Louis Weasley
LilyMerlin.
Family members I was with- Claire, Dom, Fred, Poxie Roxy, Lucy, James, Rose, Al, Hugo and Lily the Amazing. Not to mention H to the Agrid and Professor L-Bottom.
Thankful for- Claire? Yes. Family? Yes. Friends? Yes. Candy that will make me so hyper that I just had to write 'yes' 4 times? YES.
Funniest Thanksgiving moment- Uncle George and Aunt Angelina. Also this one Thanksgiving we went to France to be with Mum's family and it was bloody great. Victoire and Dom ended up getting into a screaming match with our french cousins (Aunt Gabrielle's brats) and they got in a fist fight. Dad had to pull Victoire off one and Mum had to pull Dominique off another. I think Vic was 10, Dom was 7 and I was like 6. Brilliant.

James Potter
I have never been so proud to say that Lily is my sister. Yes you guys, we have the same genes and everything. Be jealous.
Family members I was with- Allie, Lily the Amazing, Al, Rose, Hugo, Dominique, Fred, Louis, Roxy, Lucy, Mr./Professor Longbottom, Hagrid.
Thankful for- Having to live with Lily during the summer and getting a chance to snatch the map. You bet your sweet arse I'm going to try.
Funniest Thanksgiving moment- Uncle George and the flying mashed potatoes of doom.
--
Rose Weasley
Lily Luna Potter is my new hero.
Family members I was with- Everybody that James listed for me. My hand might fall off if I have to write all those names.
Thankful for- Family, friends, chocolate frogs and being a witch. Life is alot easier with magic.
Funniest Thanksgiving moment- Both Uncle George and Aunt Angelina's incident and this one time at Nana Granger and Gramp Granger's house. Daddy made a total idiot out of himself when he tried to shoot sparks out of his wand for Hugo, but he ended up catching the couch on fire. I don't think I had ever laughed so hard.
--
Albus Potter
And don't forget, I share Lily Luna Potter genes too.
Family members I was with- All who was mentioned above. Add in all boyfriends in girlfriends in there too of family members. There was a whole table of us.
Thankful for- Allegra Pasio. Guess who has a date for the next Hogsmeade visit? Score 900 for Albus.
Funniest Thanksgiving moment- Mashed potatoes, anybody?
--
Hugo Weasley
I had to read what you wrote over 15 times, Lily. I really didn't think you had it in you.
Family members I was with- Basically 20 of Hogwarts. I think that covers it.
Thankful for- Family, friends, pranks. Not having to kill a spider in about a week.
Funniest Thanksgiving moment- The Dad catching the couch on fire story and the famous flying mashed potatoe incident.
--
Lily Potter
Thank you all, I know I'm amazing. And to be honest, I didn't think I would be able to pull it off either. When I took it I was sure that somebody would notice that I had something in my pocket or Teddy would notice that it was missing. I was struck with luck.
Family members I was with- I'm going to name everybody, seeing as nobody was brave enough to almost have their hand cramp up. Dominque, Logan, Fred, Roxy, Louis, Claire, Lucy, James, Allie, Rose, Al, Hugo, Hagrid and Professor Longbottom. Woop!
Thankful for- Getting my hands on the Marauder's Map. Mwuahahah! That and family and friends of course.
Funniest Thanksgiving Moment- Potatoes!
So I wasn't going to write another chapter for about a week, but I got slammed with inspiration. I love the whole potato fight thing. I got the idea from my own family Thanksgivings, and how theres usually always at least one fight during Thanksgiving. Once again, Louis' story killed me. I could tottally see Victoire and Dominique kicking some ass on their Veela cousins.
Also, I've been getting really bored around my house and did three drawings. One of Victoire, one of Molly and one of Dominique. They're not amazingly good or anything, but if you care to see them, let me know.
Happy reading :)
