Ask A.N.O.T.H.E.R

By BRi, Shanna and Amber

No one knew how Brent had gotten the word out, but that Friday as they were sitting in the boys' dorm, there was a small stack of parchment. "Alright, there are only six, so some one is going to have to team up with someone else-" Remus smiled at Calista who smiled back.

"Me and Re will," said Calista. Brent smiled and nodded.

"Cool," she said. "Well then, go ahead and grab a paper and start writing your response, I'll put them all together later and then they should be out by Sunday." Everyone stood up and grabbed a piece of parchment and started writing.

By Sunday, Brent had indeed gotten the questions and answers all together and had, had someone from each of the houses post them in the common rooms. The students were circled around the bulletin board, reading, and a few of them either laughing or taking notes.

Calista stepped forward and read the page:

ANOTHER,
I've got this guy who has a crush on me, but i don't know how to tell
him to give it up without hurting his feelings. What should I do?
A confused Ravenclaw

Dear Confused Ravenclaw,

Play the Jealous game, grab another guy and flirt with him in front of Mr. "I can't let go." He'd have to give you up then, and if he doesn't, then the boy is a stalker, and you need to talk to a professor to get some kind of restraining order going on.

Notus

Dear A.N.O.T.H.E.R.,
I have this ex-boyfriend who is a total flirt! He used me to get back
at my friend's sister! I want to get back at him for all the hardship
he's given me...so, can you help me form an idea?! I mean, I'd ask the
Marauders themselves...but I'm not that brave!

Thanks!
Mad 6th Year

Dear Mad 6th Year,

Why not try Zonko's newly released Itching Powder? Just stick some in his underwear and watch the fun. Be careful, if used excessively, it could cause a rash, although... that may be better for the whole of your situation... especially if you got a certain group of troublemakers to get a picture of this said "flirt."

Alyce

Dear ANOTHER,
I have this roomate that always finds one way or the other to annoy
the rest of us. I have tried many different ways to show her the error
of her ways. Though I think the Niffler in her bed only made her mad.
What should I do?
Out-of-Ideas

Dear Out-Of-Ideas,

I like the niffler idea, it's pretty good, but don't let her know you did it, that's the whole point of pranking, doing something that seems like you would do it, but there's no plausible evidence to prove it. Go for drastic measures if need be, ignore her even. Or you could just do it the old fashioned girl way and "confront her."

Elisha and Hilda

Dear ANOTHER,

I have a crush on this boy that is really shy and hasn't noticed me yet. I am just as shy and am too scared to make myself known to him. Can you help?

Sincerely,

A very cowardly Ravenclaw

Dear Cowardly Ravenclaw,

Being shy isn't that bad, I mean, half of my time here at Hogwarts was spent being afraid of girls. If you don't want to do anything about it, then don't, I'm sure if he likes you, he'll come up to you. Unless he's really realy really shy... then you're kind of at a loss.

Ronald

Dear ANOTHER,

My friend and I have been really good friends since before I can remember. Then, we got into the most horrible fight and she put a curse on my broomstick that made it fly away every time I got near it. Then, she decided it would be funny to throw all my underware into the boys dorm room. What can I do to get her back?

Totally Pissed Off

Dear Totally Pissed Off,

Getting her back? Well that's easy, do the math. Toffeehairsleeping=great revenge... yeah, it's quite funny. Either that or if you want to go for drastic measures, lock her in a bathroom with Sniv- I mean, Severus Snape, that'll give her a scare.

Oliver (by the way, I hate my name)

Dear ANOTHER,

Those Gryfinndors are really pissing me off. All in one day, they turned my hair from black to blond, they unraveled my robes, and they turned my robes pink right in front of a girl... well, her initials are L.E. These three things are not the only things that those Marauders have done to me. What can I do to get them out of my life forever?

Slighted Slytherin

Dear Slighted Slytherin,

This is an advice page for students, not "missing links". Look for Professor Bell to help you in that category.

Travis

Calista chuckled and looked at Sirius who was reading his advice and laughing. "You're evil, Black..." she muttered. Sirius tossed his hair back and smirked.

"It's the Black Magic," he said. Calista laughed as Brent walked over to them.

"With the response we're getting, we should be getting more questions. This is awesome!" she said happily. Sirius nodded and grabbed her hand.

"Come on, I'm hungry and dinner isn't for another two hours," Brent snorted as he led her through the portrait hole. Remus walked up to Calista.

"So ready for the next time?"

So go ahead and review with your questions. HAVE FUN WITH IT! Otherwise I'll send my mutant army of squirrels after your soul.... that's right... I'll have your soul. ::glare::
