Correspondence

Dearest James,

Right now we are in History of Magic. I can see you whispering to Sirius in the back. You're probably talking about the "Big Plan." I wish you would tell me what it was. It can't be that secret. Oh well. Anyway, could you please meet me in the Astronomy Tower at midnight? It's been so long since we've been alone. 143.

Lots of Love,

Lily

Lily-

I'm really sorry; Lils, but I can't tell you about the big plan, not if I value my life anyway. I'll meet you in the Astronomy Tower at said time. Would write longer, but Sirius is looking at me funny.

-James

PS- What does 143 mean?

Darling James, Last night was... would it sound tacky if I said magical? It was wonderful. Who would have known you could be so...passionate? Not to mention such a good kisser... Anyway, I want you to know I love you a lot. And no, I'm not trying to butter you up for something. It's the truth. 143.

Lots of Love,

Lily

PS- 143 is a Muggle thing. It stands for 'I love you.'

Lily-

I love you too. But could you please quit with the dearest and darling stuff? Sirius happened to read one of your notes over my shoulder and milk came out of his nose. It was sick.

-James

James-

Yes, I'll quit the 'dearest' and 'darling' stuff. But honestly, it's not my fault Sirius finds our relationship so entertaining. Stupid prat. I'll bet you never get any privacy with him around.

Anyway, I didn't want to ask him myself, but is Remus OK? He was really pale during Defense Against the Dark Arts. I know werewolves are scary creatures - I mean, you never know who's one and who's not, you know? - but he looked like he was going to throw up! Please tell him there's nothing to worry about - they'd never accept a werewolf at Hogwarts!

Anyway, I've got to go. Meet me in the Astronomy Tower at one? 143.

Lots of Love,

Lily

Lily-

Thanks a lot - yes, Sirius is the stupidest prat on earth, isn't he? I'll meet you at said time - Remus is reading over my shoulder, so I won't say when. He is - mortally afraid of all wolves. 143. See you at you-know-when.

-James

James-

I just wrote to say I love you again. Not as in I didn't love you before - I'm just saying it again. And you're wonderful. 143.

-Lily

Lily-

You're wonderful too, Lils. No, you're wonderful, beautiful, smart, and wonderful, and yes I realized I said wonderful twice. I love you.

-James

James-

I finally know why you were always on Hogwarts' Most Wanted list. Just a quick question; you wouldn't leave me, would you? Because I love you and I'm not lying.

-Lily

Lily-

God, Lils, how could you think a thing like that??? All the other girls can sod off for all I care! You're the only one I ever cared about, and the only one I'll ever love. I love you, and only you! Never question that, Lils, because it hurts when you do, it really does. I'd never leave you, ever! You're the most beautiful girl there is. Don't even try to pretend that I deserve you, because I don't.

-James

James-

I hoped you wouldn't, and I'm sorry I asked. But one of the girls in my dorm said she saw you with another girl, and I felt like someone had pulled my heart out of my chest. Tell me it's not true, James, tell me it's not true.

-Lily

Lily-

Lils, tell me who said that. I am going to rip them limb from limb. Don't believe it, Lily, not a word of it is true. It's a total lie from one of those (segment deleted for younger members of audience) who are so disgustingly smitten with me it's not even funny. I LOVE YOU, LILY! Let the whole world know, for all I care! I love you & I'm not afraid to show it! You're the only girl for me, I could NEVER be with anyone else as long as I lived because I LOVE YOU, LILY EVANS!!!

-James
