Interview with a Quidditch Captain: James Potter Speaks Out
Black: I'm Sirius Black, here today with James Potter, starting Seeker of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. James is top of class in every class but Charms, where his crush, Lily Evans, beats him, and he is also legendary in Gryffindor history for winning the Quidditch cup since he started playing in 2nd year. James, is it true that you have a crush on Lily Evans? Can you explain those feelings?
Potter: Lily Evans is an extrodinarily beautiful, talented girl. Who wouldn't want to go out with her?
Black: Lily, are you reading this? *laugh* Now James, we have some questions from our beloved readers of the Oracle. Um....ahem, it says: " James, could you tell Sirius that if he tries to ask me out one more time I will cut his *gorgeous* hair off with a knife?!"
Potter: Who is it this week, Black?
Black: Who wrote this? *throws it over his shoulder* Next question: What model is your broomstick?
Potter: Nimbus 1000, best broomstick available. It is awesome.
Black: Next question...*grins* How do you feel about the orange juice being splashed in your face when trying to kiss the love of your life?
Potter: Who wrote that? Yeah, how would you feel if the girl you had a crush on threw orange juice in your face?
Black: Jamsie boy, you have lots of love life questions here! If you get Lily, will you ever have kids?
Potter: Absolutely.
Lily Evans: You won't get me, Potter!
Black: And another reader asks: Why go after Lily when you can have almost any other girl?
Potter: Lily is beautiful and gorgeous and she's more intelligent than any other girl in Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin. *charming grin aimed off page*
Evans: In your dreams, Potter!
Black: Well! Another question here: *blinks* Sirius, will you go out with me? No. *crumples it up* Next question! James, will you go out with me?
Potter: No.
Black: *sorting through the rest of the quesitons* Erm....that's all we have right now! Thank you, James Potter, for giving us an interview today. Now your Oracle reporter is off to run from fangirls...
Hogwarts students have problems, from O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s to boy/girl relationships to Potions homework. To help Gryffindor students with their problems, you can...
Ask Moony
Dear Moony,
See, I have this crush on you, but you keep ignoring my letters. What should I do?
-Lovesick Third Year
Dear Lovesick Third Year,
Get over it. Have you not been reading Lion's Roar? I'm attached. Go ask Sirius.
Moony
Dear Moony,
See, I like this one guy, but I'm going out with this other guy, but now the guy that I like is trying to ask me out, but I'm going out with this other guy and he's really sweet and I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I really want to go out with the one guy. What should I do?
-Confused in Love
Dear Confused in Love,
Go star in a soap opera.
Moony
Dear Moony,
Professor Trelwany is really freaking me out. She keeps predicting my death in class and won't leave me alone, and now people are starting to avoid me. I'm getting worried. What if I do die? What should I do?
-Scared of Divination
Dear Scared of Divination,
I don't know, I'm not in Divination. If you die, I'll put flowers on your grave. Sorry.
Moony
Do you want Moony to answer your questions? Send them to room ten, boys dorms, third door on the left, and YOU might appear in the Gryffindor Oracle!
Wondered what's going on in Gryffindor? Ever wanted to know what's happening? Well, now you can find out from the Queen of Gossip herself...
Lion's Roar
This is Alice Remerta, gossip columnist of the Gryffindor Oracle. Very amusing love scenes are happening this week around the castle, everything from one very dubious sighting of Professor McGonagall and Professor Grimay to one claimed sighting of Lily Evans and James Potter. Could he finally have gotten his crush?
"No," Lily Evans told me flatly. "James Potter is an arrogant bighead and I would rather go out with the giant squid than him." Reports of Lily and the Giant Squid have not yet been sighted.
While this amusing saga continues, Sirius Black has yet another fling. This week, it's Wendy Johnson of Ravenclaw. Your gossip columnist is getting tired of reporting the long line of his hearbreaks, gossip queen though she may be. But has Peter Pettigrew found love at last?? Someone spotted the fourth Marauder snogging with Kendra Lawson, of Hufflepuff. Good luck, Peter!
This has been Alice Remerta with Lion's Roar, the Gryffindor gossip column. Have any juicy tidbits of gossip? Share it with me--slip it under dorm room 10 and it could appear in Lion's Roar!
Lioness Poetry
The Lioness has once again picked a poem from the two under her door, and her favorite one appears below. Thanks all you participants!
Poem About Pink and Purple Bunnies
I feel so alone, because no one understands
Those bunnies, they need to be put up
Those pink and purple bunnies on the walpaper
I wanna put them in the dorm, but no one lets me
And those bunnies keep smilin at me!
-Padfoot

Author's Notes: Well, thank you all so much! I heard some complaints about chapter 2 doesn't exist...? I'll re-upload it and see if I can fix it. Some of you asked who the Lioness is...that was a bit of a mystery to the Gryffindors reading this too, and Moony got several letters about it, but none are posted in the Oracle. Yeah, there was some confusion about James being Seeker/Chaser thing--the movie said Seeker where the book said Chaser, so I'm thinking he played both roles? Anyway, I changed it to Quidditch Captain. I loved you all so much! 71 freakin' reviews? I LOVE YOU! That's why I'm updating so quickly! If you want to be e-mailed when I update, put your e-mail in the review.
