[Sure it's only been a few days for you, but Lily's book went and vanished for a year. But when she woke up, it was sitting on her bedside table, sitting next to a small duck-shaped cake.]I must say, it was a surprise to find the community returned to my journal, much more so to find a rather tasty cake sitting beside it. I don't suppose it's

[When James first saw the post, he laughed to himself before turning on the video. And before speaking he reminded himself what Lily had mentioned in his post.]

Nice to meet you, Head Girl. [There's that smile again.] And you're right. I can't believe we'll be going off to our final year in September.

[flower_of_lions]

[Oh, good! He did learn a thing or two.] Yes. I suppose we'll be working together a bit more then, won't we? You have all the information we have to brief the Prefects on during the train ride, I trust?

[Much less guarded than the past, she offers a small smile in return.] To think... come next summer, we'll be off into the world. All on our own, following the paths we want for our future careers. But we'll have our NEWTs before that.

[quidditch_stag]

That'll be interesting. I can't say I'm not looking forward to it. And yes, it came with the letter and badge.

[He grins, glad to see her smile.] Scary isn't it? Do you think world is ready?

[flower_of_lions]

Good. Everything should be in order, then. I'm still trying to get some of the details memorised so I'm not looking down at the letter the whole time.

It is, but I won't let it bother me. I can only hope with You-Know-Who growing more and more powerful by the day, we're ready for the world, once we leave school.

[quidditch_stag]

That's not a bad idea. Though, I never was good at memorising details.

We will be. Have you got a career in mind?

[flower_of_lions]

That's a load of rubbish. How else were you and Sirius able to pass your exams so effortlessly in the past? [Something that she can't help be a little sore over... since she labored long and hard over books and practicing.]

I wouldn't mind training as a Healer, I think I can make the grades for it, but Professor Slughorn says I might be best looking into a potions-related field.

[quidditch_stag]

We're just that good? [It was a questions whereas in the past, it would have a been a smug statement.]

Slughorn wants everyone in the Slug Club to looking into potions-related fields. I think a Healer suits you.

[flower_of_lions]

Hm... or you're better at it than you give yourself credit for.

Even if he does, I wouldn't mind looking into it. I mean, we've only got this school year left before-- [and pause as the last thing he said finally registers] ...What makes you say that?

[quidditch_stag]

Or that, yes. [He shrugs, smiling.]

I don't know. Just the image of you as a Healer seems to fit you, that's all.

[flower_of_lions]

Er... thank you. [HE'S BEING NICE. Apocalypse coming? Maybe. ...Quite possibly. She had just complimented James without realising. Brilliant job, Lily.] I'll keep that career track in mind.

[quidditch_stag]

You really should. You've got a knack for it.

[flower_of_lions]

Thank you... James.

[quidditch_stag]

You're welcome, Lily.
