Disclaimer: Sirius and James, AKA Padfoot and Prongs, are not my characters. Neither are any other of the characters from J.K.'s book, so don't go telling me they are! In fact, most of the people/phrases you recognize probably aren't mine, which is very sad, I know.
Well, here it is, the next installment! And I REACHED 100 reviews! Responses at the bottom. Let's all have a moment of silence to celebrate. Ok, that's the end of that. Instead of going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on I will let you read the entry.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Pablo,
Your green eyes glitter and glow gorgeously -Prongs, what are you doing? And how do you know what colour eyes Pablo has?
I'm writing a love poem to Lily! I found a book of poetry in the common room with L.E doodled all over it, so I figured she must like poetry.
Prongs, sorry to break it to you, mate, but that was your book. You had this idea in fourth year, remember? Except that time it was to recite poetry to her. And then you got so fed up you threw the book across the common room while stomping up to our dorm crying; "If I ever see that book again I'll murder each and everyone of you!"
This is that book? Oh... Well, I'm sure she likes poetry still, all girls like romance and poetry is romantic.
Can you write?
No, but if I just make it really descriptive with whopping great words, she won't understand it and probably will think it's really nice.
Yeah, Right. And the book? Should I hide?
Hide? The book won't hurt you, Padfoot! It's just a book, rather like Pablo here. I never knew you had a fear of books! Studying with books, maybe, but poetry books?
I meant your threat to kill us all...?
I think I'm a little more mature than I was in fourth year, Padfoot.
You wish.
Back to the subject at hand. How do you write a poem?
Why are you asking me?
You receive plenty of them. Just this morning a tiny owl arrived at the window around five, waking us and several other light sleepers. Remember? And we all thought it was of great consequence that we read this note that disturbed us in the early hours of the day. And what did it turn out to be?
I know, I know! It was just a letter from some random second year. I recognize it was a tinsy bit annoying –
A lot annoying! So, in order to... pay me back for that event, you can help me with this.
Ok, ok. Well, the best poems are always the ones that compliment you.
Are you sure Lily would like that? I mean, you are heaps more up yourself than her –
Thank, Prongs, that really makes me want to help you. And yes, I'm sure. You want to make her exceedingly happy when she reads it, so say delightful things about her.
Ok, I'm taking this in. How should I start?
Umm... Why don't you write what you want to say and then we'll make it sound all poetryish.
Okie Dokie. How about –
Lily, you are very pretty
Like a Lily
That's probably why you were called Lily –
How about no? That sucks, Prongs. Really, really sucks.
Maybe it's a bit flawed, but surely not THAT BAD.
Must I comment?
Don't worry, I get the drift. Ok, trying again –
Your eyes are a nice green
Almost emerald, in fact.
I don't know if you noticed, but
Your hair is red.
When I stare at it when I sit behind you in Potions.
All these little sparkles jump around in it
And it reminds me of this time Sirius got a bunch of Filibusters
And set them off in his house, to annoy his mother
Once, he brought me home to annoy his mother
Because Sirius's mother is a cold hearted wench
We think she might be a hag
But then, Sirius would be related to a hag, so let's put that theory beside.
Prongs, you're writing a ROMANTIC POEM. Not a letter, or a Pablo entry or anything along those lines. A POEM. Make it rhyme or something, keep the rhythm, anything but a recount broken into lines! And OF COURSE she knows her hair is red! And WHY would she want to know about me and fireworks? WHY?
I thought it was interesting. One more try, if it's not good, then I'll send her one out of this book. Ok, here we go –
I love Lily
Does Lily love me?
If not, why not?
Green Eyes
Red Hair
Turn me on.
That's you Lil'
It always was you.
How sweet. That was sarcastic, by the way, Pablo. It must be mighty hard for you to detect sarcasm. Prongs, let's opt for the book poems. I think it would be better for all of us.
Even Lily? It's not as personal if I just get it out of a book...
Especially Lily.
Fine. Rather than embarrass myself anymore, I think I'll change the subject.
Very subtle, Prongs. Well, may I choose?
As long as it's not about you.
The subject I have in mind, dear Prongs, is quite the opposite.
It's not about me, is it?
Well, I happen to have a little clipping I got out of a certain Gryffindor bulletin –
Anything but that, Padfoot. Anything at all.
I'm ignoring you. Pablo, you should remember last entry (if you don't, we might just have to REPLACE you!), since we wrote it not too long ago. It mentioned the 'Boyfriend Incident', as Wormtail so fittingly named it. For our amusement –
Not mine.
Ignoring. For our amusement, I repeat it, word for word here, so we can look back on it fondly when we are old men and sigh at the foolishness of the youth.
Anything, anything at all. You don't appreciate my diversity.
Ignoring. And now, finally, the event we've all been waiting for: Prongs' Mortification (of course it wasn't actually called 'Prongs' Mortification', because hardly anybody labels our dear friend that particular name)
Unless our readers are all some form of Hogwarts Hermits, you will have heard of ----- ------ (I removed his name, to keep our identities secret) –
I don't get why we can't use our names, Padfoot.
Privacy, secrecy, confidentiality, etc. Back to the article: He's the Gryffindor Quidditch star, Hogwarts Quidditch star, trouble maker extraodinaire, top of his year in many subjects (has anybody ever seen him study?) and the list goes on. But it is not these points which we wish to discuss today. Many of us have been wondering about the giant purple lump that disfigures his head.
It doesn't look that bad!
Ignoring. 'How did it get there?' is one of the most popular questions of the year (the most popular being 'Will you go out with me, Sirius?"), leading us to investigate this swelling.
Surprisingly, it wasn't Snape or any other Slytherin, but our own Lily Evans. While many girls died of shock when they heard that Lily had hurt their '----sie' (so I'm not the only one who calls you that!) but others cheered for the girl who had so stylishly left her mark on the boy's head.
What is this stylish they mention? And WHO was cheering, besides you, Padfoot?
Try and get it into your head that I am ignoring you, Prongs! There's not much left, it was pretty short -
Luckily.
Unfortunately, we were threatened by an anonymous reader that if we went any deeper into this, he/she would prank us mercilessly. But I'm pretty sure most of you can figure out what happened for yourselves. In any case, Lily and James will eventually end up married (the 'anonymous' person made us put that in there too).
By Frank Longbottom
Oh the shame! I hear Slytherin has a longer article on it too! Who started these house newspapers?
I dunno. Someone who wanted to be a journalist? I like them; the crosswords are usually quite intelligent –
Since when do you do crosswords?
Since M.M. started doing them in ours. The other ones sucked. It was all quick and no cryptic.
Well, you learn something new everyday.
Yeh... Is it time for the meeting yet?
What meeting?
THE meeting.
What?
The meeting to discuss what to do about the 'return prank'. God, you're thick sometimes. Almost as thick as Wormtail.
No one's that thick. Oh, we forgot to tell Pablo. We got pranked back by the Slytherins.
Although it was nothing up to our standard. Just some water bombs and freezing charms. Nothing we couldn't handle.
Which is why we are going to give them a little lesson on how to prank people.
So we need to meet up with Moony and Wormtail.
So we have to go.
Stars of the Show,
Prongs and Padfoot (Padfoot and Prongs sounds better!)(No it doesn't!)
trixie-pixie-luvzhp-106 – Ok. Here's the list: 1. Reviewing makes you feel good by making me feel good.
2. As much as I hate to say it, I actually do update faster because of reviews.
3. If any of you write your own fic, which lots of people do, you will know how nice it is to receive one of those e-mails. I swear, I check my e-mail SO much now! When I sign into hotmail and it's like, 2 new e-mails, or whatever, I get SO excited and all tingly!
4. You want to express your opinion?
5. Because you... love me?
6. You want a review response! What a great reason! He he he... lol
7. You like counting and if you submit a review you can count the number going up!
8. You like seeing your name on the computer, even if it is just a screen name...
9. Your fingers are it itching to type. Come on, you know they are. And you can fulfill their wish by just typing a nice, long review. : )
10. This will be the last reason for now. And it is: You just have to say something about this fab fic! Lol... if any of them work, I'll be happy!
Your punctuation is good... I use way too many '...''s and '!'. Tis a disorder, I think.
Unblemished Lamb – As you may have noticed, I added in the huge purple lump for you! All credits for that this way! And I'll think about the other thing for later! Thank you! So, your sister is just as silly as James... lol, probably not, that would be quite hard. Thanks so much for the long review! I love getting long ones, tis the best kind!
Dazzling Dame – Addicted to it! YAY! Your review made me especially happy. How are you and your friend? Did you both like this chapter! I love thinking that you have a friend who reads it too... Awesome. My exams are in a week... ahhhh! Congrats on yours. About the C2... I am very confused about these, but would love to be a staff member if you want me to. Thanks for reading!
Magical Maniac Girl – Hello Magical Maniac... thanks SO much for reading and reviewing! I LOVE it!
thiefofblueness – I used your name, aye? That is very cool, and yes, you are very special now! Thank you for reading and reviewing!
Prongsiepoo – It is annoying, but I suppose he's not a very desirable character... Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! It is very good and very happy!
HPelvenfaeiry – Yay! Quoting person! I'm glad you found the fic. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
The Lady Quotes - - Adds review to collection – Thanks for your suggestion! I wonder how they did come up with it? Hopefully something a little more interesting than 'let's be called the Marauders because we maraud'. Lots of people seem to have been doing a James! How did your friends work out? Unfortunately, they didn't have the magic James had! Makes the job easier...
Tamaran Girl – I think you were the 100th reviewer! CONGRATULATIONS! Although it might have been somebody up or down... anyway, you were around that area so let's celebrate! I don't know if Lily will find the diary... maybe I'll do an ending like that or something... I dunno... Thanks for reading and reviewing!
JadedxLily – Oooh... nice longish review. Pretty. It is ok, you eventually got around to reviewing which is very good. Very, very good. So many compliments too... That's nice. Very, very nice. You are a Pablo fan? Join the Pablo fan-club... which doesn't exist... oh well... imagine you are in the Pablo fan club! I love it how you said 'so...well, Sirius'. Sirius is oh so cool! And it's awesomely awesome that you think the marauders are in character! Thanks for the review! I am glad you managed to give me one. Very, very Glad. Lol! Thanks!
Trinity Day – My sister loved the 'Grrrr'ing too! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
thestraltamer – It is 6th year, so there is quite a while before Lily and James action really kicks into place. I am planning to include some Snape stuff soon, but I keep forgetting. Hang on, it will come! And prattle on as much as you want, prattling is good. Thanks for reading and reviewing
grets7jam – Wormtail, Odd socks? How... odd. Lol. Your sister must be so nice to read this out loud to you! I reckon she must be a great reader! I'm glad you like this story so much! It makes me feel special! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Kayhera – I hate homework. Kill homework. And you quoted too! Go you! Snape... I swear... I always start writing, meaning to put him in and then just forget! Must remember him soon! I will try. I will check out your stories with your bestie. I sort of based this on how me and my friend talk to each other... Although, neither of us are guys... hmm... I love the Marauders too! Anything past Harry Potter rocks! And if J.K. wants to kill of dear Moony, she better be prepared to write a prequel or something! Protesting sounds fun, but! She has to keep the spirit alive! Your reply can never be too long... there is no such think as a "too long" review... not for me anyway! The longer the better, that's my slightly crazy motto! Please feel free to tell me if I get any facts wrong, because it would annoy me so much if I did that! ARRRRG! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Fairy-Dust 888 – Goodness Gracious Me! I loved your review, it was very kickass! Love, love love. I love it when I get that wonderful e-mail that says "new review". It's wonderful! Ok, did you even realize I was nearly quoting you? I never know if people do... Anyway, enjoy your ice cream, send me some if you get your hands on it! Thanks for reading and reviewing
horn-head – hello one with the horned head. Thanks for reviewing and reading!
Lara Potter – The poor chairs of today! People are constantly falling out of chairs nowadays. Ah, and I come across another Pablo fan! Pablo fan club all the way!

Silwen Aurdomiel – Steel yet? After steel, let's try for diamond! Diamond abs.... That's gotta be worth something... Thanks for reading and reviewing!
ole' green eyes – Good ole' green eyes, thanks for reading and reviewing (gosh, that line is getting old!)
Reaka – giving genders to chairs now, are we? Well, I'm glad she's ok. And the carrot is coming for you... watch out. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
despyrit – James head is hurting for more than a day, I think... poor fellow. My brother once threw a whole bunch of books at me. Luckily, his aims not too good, so it wasn't that bad. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
