Ask Moony

Dear Moony,
If a woodchuck would cut chuck wood, and a woodchuck could chuck wood, how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
-Tongue-tied

Dear Tongue-Tied,
If a woodchuck could chuck wood, and a woodchuck could chuck wood, then a woodchuck would chuck as much chucky wood as a woodchuck possibly could!
Moony

Dear Moony,
I have a problem with speaking in rhyme!
I seem to do it all the time!
And if that's not enough,
(and that's certainly tough),
then they accuse me as if it were crime!
-Limericked out of Poems

Dear Limericked out of Poems,
Take a deep breath. Then start singing everything you say.

Moony

Dear Moony,
I need sugar! really bad! really really bad! really really really bad! really really really really bad! really really really really bad!
-I need sugar

Dear I need Sugar,
Sirius, I thought you learned that night in the dorm room to quit using all the reallys!
Moony

Do you want Moony to answer your questions? Send them to room ten, boys dorms, third door on the left, (or purplenicole@msn.com) 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

There was yet another devastating Lily/James incident this week. I think we could mark the time by them now. Apparently, James tried to pick up some things Lily had dropped, but ended up pouring out the ink on her hair when Sirius shouted: "BOO!" from behind him. Unfortunately, Lily blamed James for this incident, and James and Sirius are trying to ignore each other.

But that's not been all the commotion this week--strife is in the air. Sirius Black just had a major breakup with Lolinda Lefay, and apparently she dumped him. She claims he was cheating on her and publicaly defaced him in front of the entire Gryffindor House last night in teh common room. Many girls are congradulating Lolinda, while still others are starting to dislike her for her mistreatment of the object of their affections. I'm glad I'm attached.

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 picked a poem this week from the thirty three sent to her room and would like to say thank you to all the participants! The winning poem follows.

between us
there's not one thing
we didn't do wrong
but we were together
every step of the way
and family isn't defined by blood
and we're closer than brothers can be
so we'll never, ever say
goodbye.
- a fifth year
