I hope you've all enjoyed Chapter 29! Lol, I've probably given more spoilers for that than any other chapter, so I'm curious as to whether it lived up to expectations.
Here's a little piece of a conversation that was supposed to happen between James and Sirius during the night. It will be compensated for in Chapter 30, but I still like the idea of it, so here you go.
“I’m not going to tell her for you,” said Sirius quietly. James looked at him, but his friend was staring at the witch in the other crowded little cell. Lily sat on the ground, in the corner between the two cells, talking animatedly with Sam. “I think you’re half hoping, half afraid that I will.”
James sighed. “I don’t care if you tell her,” he said. “It won’t matter.”
Now Sirius looked at him. “At this point, you’d better hope not.” James rolled his eyes. “Regardless, I’m not telling her.”
Okay, so, now that Chapter 29 is finished with, the summer is finally over! Chapter 30 is, as most of you know, the beginning of Year 7, and I want to just spoil EVERYTHING but I can't. However, here’s some information I feel comfortable giving you about the upcoming seventh year: Prudence Bloody Daly will be causing Marlene grief (perhaps unintentionally) for a little while yet, and there’s an additional new girl stepping onto the scene, and her name is Clancy. The next chapter is September 1st, so Lily’s going to find out about Carlotta and James pretty soon. New staff at Hogwarts, too—the new Dark Arts teacher, of course, and also a hippie lady, whose goal is “emotional education.”
Carlotta’s gonna owe James an apology for something that she neglected to tell him, and James might find that his lack of disclosure has gotten him in trouble too. In addition to the much anticipated, “Carlotta Delenda Est,” there’s going to be a chapter called “Meloni v. Mumps,” which will be juicy, lol.
Also this year, Remus will get to be a bit of the knight in shining armor, Lily will explore her inner crazy person, Marlene and Mary are just gonna be evolving all over the place, Sirius is going to come up with a new nickname for “Teeglow,” and Sam Dearborn will be important to the story again.
As mentioned, Chapter 30 is structurally a bit crazy, and I’m only hoping I can pull it off. In the event that I can, it will be divided into five stories, entitled as follows: “It Began with a Kiss,” “Never a Good Reason,” “Ghost of Christmas Past,” “You Would Cry Too,” and “Later.” Each of those is dedicated to a different character in the story.
Lol, and the song title for the chapter is “It’s My Party.”
Happy Sunday!
Love,
Jules
