Re: James P / Lily E
I suppose, but that's only if you look at everything in terms of loss. The war's over, Evans. Imagine that. The people we know have all died, fought for a cause, but they've not been forgotten, and there's now peace. We don't have to die in two years' time. I'm sorry, but I can't call that depressing, no matter the nearness of the start of classes. Surely, it will all be figured out in time -- and that time I'll take.

You're not alone. [Scribble.] Sure, I've got my mates and what do I know. But, Evans, even if you don't want to hang around my lot, you ought give yourself some credit. You're a friendly girl, smart, beautiful, all that. You'll have friends in no time and not only for unearned greatness.
It may surprise you to learn I've no siblings. I understand hols being a lonely time. They were for me as well, until Sirius started to come around. But there will be so many new people here, new things to do. I find it all rather exciting.
