Dear Lily,

I know it's only been like a half hour since I last saw you, but I had to write you. So... how's your night going?

No, that's stupid. Let me try again.

I had a nice time at the wedding. With you. I mean, I could have done without the whole Death Eater dramatics. Though I suppose those were necessary, because otherwise you wouldn't have invited me to come. And I'm glad you did. Like... really glad.

Also, want to talk about what happened? Not the battle, just, you know, the stuff that happened... later.

Anyways, write back soon. I'd love to hear from you.

Lily,

Also, I forgot to tell you how nice you looked last night. I mean, I guess I did, but Sirius interrupted, and I thought maybe you'd think I was joking because it was right after the battle and you (we) were all banged up and stuff, but I was being serious. You looked beautiful. That's all.

Anyways, sorry for sending you an owl so late. Hopefully he goes in and out quietly.

Dear Lily,

I suppose I shouldn't expect you to write back in the middle of the night. It's fine. Just hope to hear from you soon...

But also, I hope a lack of response so far means you're getting plenty of sleep. You deserve it, after that crazy day yesterday – wedding business, arguing with your mad sister, dealing with Vernon, battling Death Eaters... kissing me... I'm just saying, it was a big day. For you, I mean. Not for me. A little bit for me. Okay, I had a big day, too.

I think I got some sleep? Maybe for a couple hours? Not sure. If Sirius was here, he'd probably tell me I'm driving him nutters, but he's staying at Hogwarts with Remus until school starts. Peter's heading back early, too, sometime today. Are you catching the train back on Monday? You probably are. I'll see you then.

Can't wait!

Dear Lily,

Trying to do the math to figure out how long it'd take Barnaby to fly here. If you wrote this morning right when you woke up, and you didn't have too much of a lie-in, he should fly in any minute now...
