A/n: As you probably guessed from the extremely long title, Marlene will be narrating this 'mini chapter'. Hope you like it!

Winter Break of '78, Day 1:

Well, Sirius is staying with us for a few days, and then we're all going to James' for the rest of the break.

Last night's turn of events (AHEM- JILY- AHEM) had me wondering what was next in store for my adventures.

I mean, if Lily and James FINALLY kissed, and Ana and Remus FINALLY got together, and Sirius is FINALLY 17, which means he's free of his parents' regime, and Alice and Ivy and Sage and Frank and Peter are all grown up, planning to start searching for jobs when they get out of school, looking to start families, I mean...

If it makes any sense, I'm still worried about what Professor McGonagall will have to say on my most recent essay.

Like, these guys are worrying about children, and jobs, and stuff, but I'm still stuck wondering what I would do after school.

I mean, Sirius and I never actually talked about it, but I always assumed that we would get jobs, maybe start a family, grow old together. But now I'm a little concerned that maybe it was all just a little high-school fling.

Enough about my love life. I need to go. Sirius can't find the toilet paper... or the toilet.

Sorry the chapter was so short!

I'm absolutely exhausted today, so I just wasn't in the mood to do much writing.

Hope you guys understand! I'll publish a bigger chapter tomorrow :)

Love, J.W.
