Helping James

A month went by uneventfully. School went on as usual, Snape was a jerk, and Sirius was weird. Not to mention James was depressed. Lily was avoiding him, obviously suspicious.
"Please, Magicia, let me ask her out! She has to agree this time!" James pleaded.
"Do you want to undo all that work?! No! She's getting suspicious, now!" James pouted, and slumped down in his chair. Magicia couldn't help feeling sorry for him.
"Cheer up James. Come on, I'll let you meet my Dragon."
"You have a dragon?" James and Sirius asked, amazed.
"Yes…"
"But dragons aren't allowed!" James cried.
"Cool! Can I toast Snivellus with it?" said Sirius excitedly. Magicia laughed.
"Guys, come on. I think your questions will be answered when you see him."
*~*~*
"This is my Dragon," said Magicia, holding up a large brown-and-black cat, which blinked at them.
"That's not a dragon!" said James crossly.
"Dummy, its name is Dragon," said Sirius, who had just caught on.
"Very good, Sirius," said Magicia, impressed. Sirius grinned.
"Magie, can I get him to claw Snape to death?"
*~*~*
Inspired by Dragon the cat, Sirius decided he needed a pet.
"Magie, I need a pet. Can you help me?" Magicia was too busy reading The Return of the King to pay attention to what Sirius was saying.
"Magie, what kind of pet should I get?" said Sirius again, poking her.
"A bowling pin," she said absent-mindedly.
"Right-o. James, can you help me get a bowling pin?"
*~*~*
"Magie Magie Magie!" Sirius yelled, bouncing into the common room, holding something behind his back.
"What what what? And don't call me 'Magie!'"
"But I like to! Guess what I got for a pet?"
"A nazgul," said Magicia, once again ignoring him.
"No, silly, though that's a good idea. Pay attention, Magie!" Sirius took Magicia's book away from her.
"Ok! Ok! I'm listening!"
"Magie, meet Phoenix!" he held up a bowling pin that had a painted on smiley-face. Magicia stared at it.
"Sirius, that's a bowling pin."
"Yup! He's faithful, a good listener, and he can attack Snivellus! And I named him Phoenix!"
"Sirius! It's a bowling pin!"
"Yeah, you're right. 'Bob' is a much better name for him!" He wandered off, introducing 'Bob' to every one he saw.
"Magic, can I ask out Lily yet?" asked James, running up to her.
"Good Lord, why do I have to live with these people?" she groaned.

Thank you thank you thank you Rosie for reviewing!
Opps.
I mean, thank you allfortheloveofBrair for reviewing!
I'm sorry, Sirius fans, but I can't help it! I LOVE making Sirius weird!
By the way, Dragon really exists. His real name is Diagon Dragon, and he really is my cat. I'll bet he's sleeping right now, so he can't saw 'hi', or rather, 'meow'.
