EW ALBUS WHY DOES SHE HAVE A HALF NAKED PICTURE OF YOU





WHY ARE ALL OF THE BACHELOR THINGS ABOUT MY BROTHERS THIS IS SO WRONG.

[GIRLS WHO ARE RELATED TO LILY!!!]
OI. Will you lot join a RETALIATION CLUB to Hugo's stupid lame REALLY AGGRAVATING club that says we CAN'T DATE?

We can a) date or b) ruin all their chances. PLEASE?

MUM IS HERE.

So I don't have a pet anymore but I have an actual housemate and no one is allowed to kill him. And I don't want to talk to Uncle Sirius because he PETER, do you play Quidditch? Or I am drafting you for something else, because you should be INVOLVED. Also, we should work out a schedule for cooking and dishes and such. I'm motivated since it is not only me doing them now!

I'm rewriting the Quidditch teams list here, since MORE PEOPLE came, and YOU SHOULD SIGN UP. YES YOU.

TEAM ONE
Captain/Chaser Grandad! James Potter the FIRST.
Chaser Hugo!
Chaser Scorpius!
Beater ME. aka Lily Luna Potter.
Beater Uncle Fred!
Seeker Dad!
Keeper DOMINIQUE!

TEAM TWO
Captain/Seeker James Sirius Potter my BROTHER.
Keeper
Beater GRAN, Lily Potter I.
Beater
Chaser MUM. Ginny Weasley!
Chaser Sirius because Peter said he didn't want to play
Chaser Rosie!

Commentator: TEDDY.
Uniforms: LOUIS.
Brooms: JAMES.
Broom-testers: HUGO AND LILY AND JAMES.
Ball-maker(s): ????

Three more sign-ups and we've two full teams! I'll expand to more later if we need it. TOURNAMENTS could be held!

[Added after James' comment:] OKAY CAN SOMEONE PLEASE OFFER TO MAKE QUIDDITCH BALLS OR HELP. Grandad? Someone?

( PRIVATE TO JAMES + LILY POTTER THE FIRSTS; HARRY, GINNY, JAMES, ALBUS, TEDDY + HUGO ADDED ON SECOND THOUGHT )

I have a HOUSEMATE.

Well, sort of. He's probably cuter and easier to get on with than all of your housemates, so there.

( Picture! )

Meet Mr. Butterscotch! He is adorable and sweet and sort of skittish but I think he is over that now, CLEARLY because my charm transcends the species barrier.

I need to get him a very excellent cage and one of those little wheel thingers. D'you think he'd like a wheel thinger? I think he'd like one.

ALSO. Rose, Scorpius, Louis - WHICH OF YOU WOULD DO A COSTUME. I want to be something INTERESTING. Although that will be in private, because it would be NO FUN if I just TOLD everyone what I'm going as.

JAMES, HUGO, TEDDY, UNCLE SIRIUS, EVERYONE ELSE: you are DRESSING UP, right???? RIGHT?

TEDDY. I am not thinking about you like a bachelor EVER thanks. That would be like thinking about James. Or Alby. Although your picture was neat - Lucy, your work? Why does the paper keep suggesting single ladies hook up with my family? It's weird.

I demand suggestions for non-family members, to keep things fair.

In other news, I'm pleased the paper is agreeing with my Quidditch game! I made the news in a positive way, aren't we all pleased? GRANDPARENTS, BROTHERS, TEDDY AND HUGO, you should make a scrapbook! For Mum.

Ms. Skeeter, d'you have a way to get us Quidditch stuff?

JAMES! Have you met Gran? And Grandad?

If not, I propose another picnic! Or a meal. I will cook this time, yes? I can cook! Some things.

Potters, Weasleys, Scorpius and basically anyone willing to show up are invited too, provided no one objects to having this thing. My house is, as ever, empty but for ME, so I suppose we could have it here if people clean up HUGO A JOB FOR YOU LOOK.

James, Louis, you two can help set up! Hugo, you too, and I will feed you ahead of time if you agree to this so you should definitely agree to this.

Also this way I can meet everyone who I don't know or, more exactly, who does not yet know ME. Which is clearly a travesty, etc. etc.

Sometimes I feel a little lonely here, despite all the people.

GRANDAD. Will you supply a cake? I was promised a cake, I recall this very well. My memory is excellent.

Oh! On that topic! There shall be QUIDDITCH, because Grandad and I said so, and teams will be decided here I suppose! I think two is our goal. Hang on a second.

TEAM ONE
Captain/Chaser(?) GRANDAD. Aka James Potter, blahblahblah.
Chaser Hugo! Who isn't cleaning up!
Chaser Scorpius!
Beater ME. aka Lily Luna Potter.
Beater Uncle Fred!
Seeker Dad! Because I think Grandad wants to play with him, right? Unless Dad says no. OI, DAD, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE? If you don't want this team, I will swap you with James (JAMES DID YOU READ THAT?) because I know you two are seekers so both of those have to be one of you. Yes? HE SAID YES, SO HA, JAMES.
Keeper

TEAM TWO
Captain/Seeker JAMES, unless he objects. JAMES ARE YOU OBJECTING?
Keeper
Beater GRAN, Lily Potter I.
Beater
Chaser MUM.
Chaser Uncle Sirius!
Chaser Rosie!

I'm holding Team One's chaser positions on reserve for just now. HUGO, SCORPIUS, want to have at them? Otherwise I will give them away to the highest bidder. SIGN UP FOR SOMETHING, PEOPLE. You know you want to.

UNCLE SIRIUS, I don't know what position you play, although Grandad volunteered you when we first mentioned this. WHAT DO YOU WANT? And which team? Choose your poison, first dibs!

I realize James has no one, but that's because I can't think of anyone else I could volunteer without asking permission first. Well, I mean, I could, but no one I can think of would enjoy that much.

Rosie or Alby! Will one of you be scorekeeper, please? TEDDY, you should commentate!

I can't think of anything else right now except a desperate plea for assistance with my Potions homework. I have no idea how to brew this bloody thing and my attempts have made an interesting mess not been very good. It really was too much to hope for to not have to brew things for a while, wasn't it?

This is stupid. There aren't any funnies, or crosswords.

Or news

There should be another paper, or at least this one should have more...options.

[Private to family/friends]
Bets on who she writes about next time? I'm going to assume most issues will be drama-causing. Or intended to cause drama? We may as well have some fun with it.

( PRIVATE TO ALBY )

I love my job.

And that ends this public service announcement from Lily Potter.

Someone let me sleep over! I'm lonely.

I'm starting work tomorrow! You should all come visit me. And Teddy, you should take me to lunch. Or one of the rest of you should. VIC, I can't wait until you start work, too.

Should be fun, right?

Ahah.

I have no idea why my shoe was in the bathtub, but it was.

I should probably make it a point to get into bed in a less haphazard manner now that there aren't roomies to throw my stuff at my head or bed.

Rosie, I'll stop by today to get fake-measured. And Tori, let's go and see what sorts of animals we'll get to take care of starting next week, shall we? I'm excited.

We should have a family dinner of some sort because I have no housemate, why do you all

( PRIVATE TO TEDDY, ALBY, ROSE, SCORPIUS AND TORI + HUGO )

I suppose I should write to complain about being Rita-knows-where for Rita-knows why, but I think instead I'm going to ask what is, to me, the obvious question: why the devil is Rita Skeeter Ruler Supreme of this place? Did I miss a general election? Or a bloody conquest?

Or is it just one of those things I shouldn't question? Because I suppose I can ignore it and go with the flow, but I just thought it should probably be asked, at some point.

And, you know, I'm curious.

Failing an answer to that question, I suppose I should do a role call. Since I've already ascertained that I have no immediate means of getting back.

Lily Potter, at your service. With the number of relatives I've got, one of you lot is bound to be here. Speak up, please.

Although you probably won't like who I'm slated to work with, but at least

Oh, right. I've been informed I'm 'Assistant Animal Caretaker', and am staying at '18 Quills St.' By the way - My own room, instead of one shared with four other girls? Lovely.

( I prefer dragons to flowers, honestly. )
