I have never seen this much food in my life, and it's not even Christmas day yet. It's Padfoot's fault. Mum likes him better than me, apparently, since she's never flipped her gourd and made five different breakfasts before just because I did something apparently magnificently talented like come home from Hogwarts. Not five different things for

Just Outside London (otherwise known as Hertfordshire) is rather James-less. And quiet. The only thing we have planned all through the holidays is Mum's cousin coming over. He's here now and he's not going until the 2nd of January. But he's half deaf and blind, so I don't need to be here, really. He's just here because he has nowhere else to go.
Actually, I wanted to ask you something. It's a bit..awkward, and if you don't want to then that's alright, but I thought I would ask. See..normally, on New Years..well, for as long as I can remember, I've spent New Years with Gordy, on the roof, watching the fireworks and stars, and listening to the bells at the church just up the road.
But now...well, this year, obviously I can't. But I didn't want to be sitting in my house, depressed and lonely on New Years, because he wouldn't want me to do that. So I was wondering if you had plans over New Years and if maybe you could come and get me? I mean, if you have other Things planned, then that's ok. Don't worry about it. And please, don't drop things out of pity, I can find something else to do, if you're not around, honest.
I miss you too.

Of course I can come and get you. The guys are all going t'be at my place, probably, and I think we're going t'be camping, but you can come with us, if you like. They like you. I mean...I dunno if you'd want to spend New Year's Eve with four guys in a tent with Muggle whiskey and smoking and whatnot, but it's generally a really good time, and if you want to, you're more than welcome. And--well, you could meet my folks, if you wanted. Anyway, you don't have to if you'd rather not. But I think you'd have fun.

I haven't been camping in years, but dad used to take me all the time. I'd love to come, it sounds so much more fun than sitting at home alone. But....are you sure the others wouldn't mind? I mean, it kind of sounds like a boys night thing..?
And I'd love to meet your parents, too.

Nah, they're cool with it, I asked. Anyway, pretty much every night is a boys' night thing. Just stay away from the fire if Pete's nearby. Things tend to go badly when he gets too close to campfires. Oh, and there shouldn't be any streaking, since you're there, but sorry in advance if there is. Sirius has an aversion to trousers sometimes.
They'll be mad about you, I'm sure. God knows I've been talking about you long enough

Right. Stay away from fire when Pete's around, got it. Streaking, eh? Could be interesting. Could make for some interesting blackmail ammunition. If I weren't a prefect, of course. *wink*
I'm quite excited to meet them!
