[ trying very, very hard to not be huffy, but- ]

Not to sound like a complete stick in the mud, but I hope you realize this is a perfectly horrible idea. Just because you have time doesn't mean that it will be best spent writing a biography of my life so far, then sending me into outer space. Honestly, just the idea of it- [ she stops herself before she starts sounding angry, because she's not, she's really not mad. it takes a lot to get Lily actually mad. but it's overwhelming! and she has Very Important Things to be looking forward to at home. like finishing her sixth year, and starting her seventh, and graduating, and a great number of things! ]

I obviously don't have any control over what you decide to do or not do, but I strongly suggest you put a little bit more thought into all of this.

... Please.

Although I suppose an extended break from Potter- [ and Severus, if she's being honest, but she'll keep that to herself ] -and his abrasive advances wouldn't be completely horrible. [ SMIRK. ]

[ after a moment of thought; ] You weren't exaggerating when you said 'bizarre cultural exchange', then.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Frankly, that barely covers it.

[prefectly]

And yet, I'm still not entirely sure I'm looking forward to this...

[theshabbiestofmen]

Because of Sirius, or because you'll be away from Hogwarts?

[prefectly]

[ because she's only begun to realize how dark the world can be, and she can't imagine it getting any less so with an entire cosmos of possible kinds of people getting trapped in one place. ]

Sirius, absolutely. I'm being reminded quite thoroughly why he and James are such good mates.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Yes, but at least he isn't mad over you.

[prefectly]

True, but he's mad over just about everybody else, which might be worse. [ yeah nah she's just teasing now, but it's fun. so. ]

[theshabbiestofmen]

I don't know what you've heard, Lily, but I assure you, he's certainly not mad over me.

[prefectly]

As far as you know.

[ she's really just kidding, but she's got a pretty damn good poker face. ]

[doggedly]

Um, ew.

[prefectly]

[ just going to burst out laughing now ]

I was only joking!

[doggedly]

It's still disgusting!
