A/N: Hey all! 24 reviews! You guys are all that keep me going! In fact I posted this chapter only because I didn't want to bore you all with the wait. The answer to the contest question was Mcgonagall, and I'm going to use the first person that reviewed with the right answer, since so many people got the correct answer. The winners is:

And if you reviewed the last chapter, your personal thanks' are below! And the winner of the Insta-poll is the ever famous, silicon enhanced, BRITNEY SPEARS!!!!!!
HyperCaz- Congrats on winning the contest! Thanks for reviewing! Oh and I love the "Oops I pranked him again" idea, it's awesome, and if I don't use it in the Marauder Magazine, I'll definitely use them in one of my other fics!
Laura Evans-Yes, your answer is right, but unfortunately, a couple people got it before you, so hopefully, you'll get it this time! And thanks so much for reviewing!
Peace Out-Yes, actually that was what I was thinking when I wrote this fic, I wanted to give Harry a little pick-me-up. Like I said before, you weren't one of the first three, so I hope you get it this time! And also like I said before, the contest is a little harder this time. So good luck!
Mayya- Hey! You get a whole box cookies for your review, you also get a guest appearance in the Marauder Magazine. It gave me so many suggestions and I just had to thank you. Hopefully you like your role. It And thanks for all the suggestions, as well as the Request Remus question, that was something I really needed, I've been running out of ideas. I'm also really glad that you noticed the spelling and grammar thing, that's something I'm really meticulous about.

I'm so sorry, it took forever for me to update, but we were having finals, and I was studying till like six in the morning. Oh, and I'm going to skip right to the magazine, and not have the little story part at the beginning and end, 'cause that takes a long time to think up.

Sirius Section
This week's issue will focus mainly on a subject that many people have been wondering about. CARE BEARS! AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH! What are care bears? I don't know! SO STOP ASKING ME!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, hopefully that has been another enlightening issue of the Sirius Section.
Remus Request
Q. I am deeply in love with a certain sandy-haired, blue-eyed guy. ::*wink*::. The problem is that he's really shy and I don't know how to approach him, what should I do
-In Love
A. Well, I'm sure this guy whoever he is would greatly appreciate it if you didn't stalk him, and I'm also positive that this "guy" is already hooked up. ::*wink*:: Read the Swings and Flings!
Q. It has come to my concern that a man as good-looking as myself has a slight problem. That problem is my hair, it seems to be….a bit greasy. And I was wondering if there is any way to cure that.
-Snivelly
A. Well Snivelly, there's only one cure for this kind of ailment. First you must, strip, save for a fig leaf on a black satin ribbon, placed strategically around the waste. Then you must run through the Great Hall at dinnertime, and jump on the Hufflepuff table. Be sure to shake body excessively. The most important thing is to put your left knee into the mashed potatoes, and continue to shake your body excessively. Then you must run from the hall singing "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" a popular muggle song. If this cure is followed quite carefully, and completed successfully on every half-moon, then your grease problems are sure to cease.
Questions? Comments? Do you just want to complain? If you have any of these, write them down on a slip of parchment no larger or smaller than 4.3 cm. by 15.8 cm. and slip it under the door to the Room of Requirement, and Remus will get back to you.
Swings and Flings with Fiona Garbles
This week, sadly ladies, Sirius is taken, and it's none other than Alyssa Jackson! The girl that Sirius has secretly been nursing a crush on since 1st year, yes that same Alyssa Jackson, is the one that Sirius is now dating. But watch out Alyssa, Maya Lindman (Slytherin) is on a rampage. And as we all know, she has sent every one of his last 307 girlfriends to the hospital wing, with severe ailments, that still haven't worn off. Talk about obsessed! If he doesn't ask her out soon, every girl in this school will have the pleasure of visiting Madame Pomfrey at least once!

Contest of the Week
This week, the answer to the contest is not HP related, just a hint. Anyway, here's the question. In this issue I mentioned the song phrase R-E-S-P-E-C-T, what's the name of the song it's from and who's it by?
