Harry Potter and Ronald Wealsey here. For our first interview section we decided to interview the people who are running the Oracle.
Harry: So how does it feel to be running the Oracle for our fellow students to read?
Luna: It feels great, maybe people will start taking some of these creatures seriously. You know many people still don't know much about the crumple-horned snorkack?
Hermione: That is because they don't exist.
Luna: You'll see, after you read my article in the next issue about them.
Ron: Hermione, what about you? How does it feel to be the editor?
Hermione: Well it's great, but I really wanted to do a homework section...
Ron: Bore our readers half to death.
Hermione: It would be useful Ron. Maybe then some people would start handing in more homework.
Ron: Maybe they just don't feel like doing it.
Hermione: That wouldn't surprise me, and coming from you it def-
Ron: I always do my homework!
Hermione: Yes, but that is because I tell you to do it! If it weren't for me-
Harry: Ahem. So er Malfoy, how does it feel to be chosen to do something for the Oracle?
Draco: Well Potter, it would have been better if I could have been picked for something more interesting. Advice column? Come on, can you imagine some of the questions I will be getting asked?
(Hermione and Ron still arguing in the background)
Harry: Malfoy, you are lucky to be in it at all. Parvati and Lavender, do you like your section?
Draco: What is that suppose to mean Potter? Did you beg old Dumbledore not to let me in?
Lavender: Shut up Malfoy. I think it's awesome! Parvati and I have been working on the first section all week! Hope everybody enjoys.
Parvati: Yes this column should be interesting. My sister Padma was wondering if she could be part of it though.
Harry: Well that is up to the heads of houses and Dumbledore.
(Hermione and Ron are still arguing...)
Draco: So it is obvious how you got in anyway.
Harry: Malfoy... shutup! Hannah and Susan, you two are awfully quiet. What about you?
Hannah: Well not many people submitted in poems.
Susan: One to be exact.
Hannah: The poem... well you will see for yourself.
Draco: What about you Potter? How does it feel to have Dumbledore pick you for something like usual?
Harry: Professor McGonagall suggested me.
Draco: Yea but Dumbledore gave the last vote, and anyone in this school could have guessed you would have been picked. It is no surprise at all that you and Weasley over there got picked.
Ron (Who has finally stopped arguing with Hermione): Well Malfoy, I bet a lot of people in this school almost died of shock when they found you were picked.
Draco: When you were picked Weasley, were you hoping we were going to be payed?
Harry: Well I think that raps up the interviews for this week. I had more questions... I think there will be an interview with the staff of the Oracle later in the year. So Harry Potter and Ron Weasley here with our first interview. Hope you enjoyed.
Ron: Stay tuned for next week, we will be interviewing my twin brothers Fred and George.
Draco: (Snort.)
Ernie: Hey! You never asked me. I am honoured to be doing the editing!

Hello everyone, this is Luna Lovegood. I was picked to the magical creature section. This week I will be talking about the Molar Catipilus. My daddy just put an article in the Quibbler about them.
The Molar Catipilus is a creature that looks like a cat. It is not as friendly as cats are though. The Molar Catipilus breathes fire whenever an enemy is around. You have to watch out that you don't mistake the Molar Catipilus for a cat, if you approach one it will burn you and then attack.
Here is how to tell the difference between a cat and a Molar Catilpilus.
Catipilus's have green outline around their eyes.
Catipilus's walk backwards, never forwards.
Catipilus's hop like a grasshopper when they run.
Catipilus's are very slow, so that it where the fire comes in useful.
THEY ARE NOT FRIENDLY!
They are very pretty creatures though. I wouldn't mind having one for myself. They are very smart creatures, they can smell prey for miles and miles away. They eat anything alive. They usually have up to twenty babies in a litter. The babies are know as Molar Kittens. The babies don't breast feed, they can start eating solid food as soon as they are born.
Luna Lovegood.
Editors note: They don't exist. -Hermione.
Crushes:
Lavender Brown likes Dean Thomas.
Ron Weasley likes Hermione Granger (And we think she likes him back.)
Ginny Weasley likes Harry Potter.
Pansy Parkinson likes Draco Malfoy.
Millicent Bulstrode likes Theodore Nott.
Draco Malfoy likes Hermione Granger. (We think, unless he just likes to stare at her.)
Seamus Finnigan likes Hannah Abbot.
Snoggers:
Harry Potter and Susan Bones.
Draco Malfoy and Padma Patil (What are you doing Padma? My own sister!)
Ginny Weasley and Micheal Corner (Didn't they go out already?)
Two second year Slytherins except we didn't catch their names. They were very embarrassed and ran off somewhere. Aw... that is so cute. The first and second years are adorable!
Hermione Granger was caught NOT DOING HOMEWORK! She actually missed a homework assignment. What is going on there? Sorry to those who fainted.
Harry Potter did an exceptional potion. I thought he was in remedial potions? Well the extra lessons must be paying off. Unless Hermione Granger was whispering instructions in his ear like she did with Neville.
Well that is about it. We are hoping Padma Patil can join us, she is always full of gossip.
Lavender and Parvati.
Editors note: I was sick! I will never do it again!-Hermione.

Yay for me. I get to do the advice section... well here goes.
Dear Draco Malfoy.
There is a cute boy in my year. I have known him way before school started though. I really like him a lot but I don't think he likes me back. I have asked him out but he only said yes once. That was two years for the Yule ball. He won't say anymore though. What should I do?
-In love.
Pansy Parkinson
I don't want to date you. I know it is you because Millicent found this letter on your bed.
-Draco Malfoy.
Malfoy.
There is this girl I really like. The problem is that she is my best friend and I don't want to ruin our friendship. Any suggestions?
-me.
WEASLEY!
You are actually asking my ADVICE! Ha ha that is so funny! Just ask her out already everyone knows you two like each other. Ha you know I am never going to let you hear the end of this!
-Draco Malfoy.
Malfoy.
There is a git writing the advice column. Should he be fired?
-Concerned reader.
Potter.
I don't want to be writing this either. If people would stop with their stupid questions I wouldn't care so much. BTW Ginny Weasley wrote an interesting one about you, it will be in next weeks.
-Draco Malfoy.
Malfoy.
You leave my sister alone. Don't put who that letter was from.
-Ron Weasley.
Weasley.
How did you get in here twice? I still can't get over that you asked my advice.
Draco Malfoy.
Hey send in questions that aren't stupid!
Draco Malfoy.
