Dear Hermione

My question is "what is the best way to help people with their studies ?

bryan evans

Dear Bryan,

I find that the best way to help someone with their studies is to put everything into terms that they're familiar with. For instance, as a child, I remembered which sign meant greater than () and which was less than () because my mother told me to pretend the sign is pac-man. She said pac man was hungry, and would open his mouth to ear the bigger number. So I knew 7 4. I hope this helped. If not, let me know what you don't get and what you like, usually a sport or something. Good luck, and happy studying!

Sincerely,

Hermione

Dear Daphne, (Reply)

I'm glad to hear it, I don't care what that lot say, Slytherin is by far the
best house. I don't blame you for being conceited, if I looked like you I
would be too! In fact, I do look like you, and I am conceited. What do you
think of people calling you the Ice Queen? Personally, I would think it was a
pretty cool sounding nick name, only I wouldn't always want to be called it,
do you ever wish that you had a normal life with friends and family?

Daphne, you do need to remember that having a boyfriend who's a push over
can be to your advantage. You can make them do whatever you want, like be your
servant, and I have seen Potter when somebody insults his friends, he goes
mental, so you would have a servant, and a body guard. I still don't know why
Potter doesn't have his eyes fixed...He's a wizard right? I'm sure he is the
only boy in Hogwarts to actually have glasses!

-Daphne.

Dear Daphne,

Exactly! Finally, someone who gets it. It's good to hear there are others like me, I don't know many. I suppose we are just those rare diamonds in the ruff. I don't really mind being called the Ice Queen. I'm sure some could come up with worse, so at least it sounds pretty. My own sister calls me Queenie, so it doesn't really bother me. Not much offends me. You sound like a very down to Earth person so I'll be honest with you… Occasionally, I do think about what life would be like with a close family, and good friends. My father died when I was a baby, and my mother hasn't been very involved in my life, so I practically raised Astoria. I suppose it's made me sort of bitter, because now every time I see people that are really close, like Potter, Granger, and that red headed boy, it makes my blood boil. I'm content with my life, but sometimes I do wonder if it could have been different. I don't usually admit it though. I like to look perfect at all times.

Yes, I'm aware that I could wrap him around my finger and have him spoil me and by me pretty things, but whenever I've tried that they always end up being so clingy, and I can't stand that. My exes are almost impossible to get rid of! Complete stalkers…Most boys treat me like their girlfriend anyway, so I don't really lack anything. I have shagged a lucky few who spoiled me rotten, but don't get me wrong, I'm not by any means a slag. As for Potter, he seems a bit…overprotective, If you know what I mean. I don't like his 'I'll do what anybody tells me' attitude. I'm more attracted to arrogant, conceited guys, like myself. As long as they know that they have to do whatever I tell them. And be aware of the fact that I'm better looking than them, and appreciate how lucky they are that I'm interested in them.

You know what, that has never even come to my attention! Why wouldn't he get them fixed? I mean there's surely a spell for it; I don't know any other wizard's who wear glasses. He probably wouldn't be recognized without them…I bet he just likes the attention. I'm going to have to look into this now, thanks so much!

Love,

Dear Marauders,

Yay! I just love you guys! Especially Padfoot and Moony! hem hem. Anyways, my
four friends, Janet, Sammi, Raven and Penny have a problem. See, Penny ratted
out Janet and her boyfriend, Liam to Jamet's parents(They were sneaking out to
see each other). Penny told Janet and Raven that Sammi tattled, and Sammi that
Raven told them. So, now, Sammi isn't talking to Raven, Raven and Janet aren't
talking to Sammi. Sammi is trying to tell Janet she didn't do it but Janet
won't listen. I've tried telling them what really happened but they won't
listen to me! And Penny is looking to damn happy about this... What should I
do?

Sincerly with much love,

Phoenix

Dear Phoenix,

Thanks! Thank you. Ohh.. Feeling the love. There, there, Prongs. Don't be such a sore loser! Shut up, Padfoot! I most certainly am not. Are too! Am not! Are too! Am not! Are too. Am no- Moony? Moving on, then. That sounds like quite the dilemma. I agree with Moony. Cough*Suck up*Cough. I am not a suck up, Padfoot! I didn't say anything. I have proof! You have no such thing. We're writing, you dolt! It's right there, in bold black ink. I SEE it! Best be having those glasses checked, Prongs. What were you saying, Moony? For those of you who can't see this, I just rolled my eyes. We've all read over your situation, and I think that your best solution is to keep trying to convince your friends of the truth. There's not really much else you can do but to wait for them to- WRONG! There is a better answer. Padfoot and I have found it! What you need to do, is trick Penny into admitting the truth. You need to find some way to either record it or have her say it in front of your friends. Or you could always have the girls ask Janet's parents, who would know better than them? Right. But whatever you do, make sure everybody understands what happened. Oh, and Penny's gotta go. I think Penny did the right thing. What? Why are all of you glaring at me like that? Stop it! I'm sorry…I agree with Sirius again. Why him? He gives the scariest looks. I see. Well good luck, Phoenix. We hope everything works out! Just a quick curiosity, are you, or any of your friends, hot? Padfoot! Bye!

Sincerely, Moony

Love, Padfoot

Prongs

P.S. No, really, any hotties looking for a good snog in the broom cupboard?

Are you serious, Padfoot?

I'm always Sirius!

Dear Fred and George,

You guys are the most amazing twins ever! My friend just recently embarassed
me and I need a way to get back at her. Help me?

Love,

Phoenix

Phoenix,

Oh we've got a good one for you! Haven't we, George? Certainly, Fred! We've been looking in to some muggle pranks, since some of our writers can't do magic. And we've just recently found one that is bloody brilliant! We tested it on Filtch. It didn't go so well for him…No, not at all…poor old bloke. Anyway, It works wonders for the pranker! You're probably wondering what it is. So we won't keep you in suspense any longer! It's called 'Operation: Poopcakes! I know what you're thinking. And yes, it as disgusting as it sounds. You need two things. : Chocolate E-lax. It's sold in most muggle drug stores. It's basically a bunch of mini chocolate bars to help you umm…take a dump, basically. #2: Chocolate cake mix. What you do is stir prepare the cake mix, as if your baking cupcakes, then melt the chocolate e-lax an put it in the batter before you add it to the cup cake tray and add it to the oven. Now I know they will smell delicious, but whatever you do, don't by any means eat one of those cupcakes. One bite will have you in the bathroom for an hour. The whole cupcake will have you there all day! You just have to make sure they eat it. It's probably best to do it on a day they have something important, like school, or a party. Good luck and happy pranking!

Love,

Fred and George xx

Dear Hermione,

First off, let me say, me and my best friend are HUGE fans of you and we wanna
be just like you. So the question, have you ever counted how many books you've
ever read while at Hogwarts? And if so, how many? I am a first year Ravenclaw
and I've already read about … 5-6?

Thanks,

your best fan,

Read-a-holic

Dear Read-a-holic,

Awh, thank you both! That means so much. I always strive to be a good role model. Unfortunately, I lost count after 279, in second year. I'm so sorry, but I'm sure I've read over 600 in all my years at Hogwarts. Everyone knows I tend to be a bit of a bookworm, and can speed through them so quickly. Congratulations on making Ravenclaw! Keep up the good work with the reading!

My pleasure,

Sincerely,

Hermione
