Ask Moony
Dear Moony,
Sirius keeps telling me I need anger management and it is really getting annoying. Can you make him stop?

Dear Lily,
If you say so.
Moony
Dear Moony,
YAY! Thank god you're back! Sirius was scaring me. Anyway, my question is why is Snape wandering the halls way past curfew? I always go out for my midnight snack and I always see Snape. I'm sure he doesn't have permission to be out late, and it'd be nice to se Slytherin lose points...Should I confront him? I mean, if it was anyone else I would, but his hair is so greasy I'm afraid it will hurt me if I get to close. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Dear Midnight Wanderer afraid of Snape's hair,
Sirius scares all of us. He does it because he's a slimy git and he likes to sneak around being a slimy git! You can't take away points unless you're Head Boy or Girl...are you? Snape's hair will hurt you and possibly kill you. Confront him from a distance.
Moony
Dear Moony,
Sirius ate my green socks! He ATE them! What is he on? And why out of all people did you let HIM take over your column last week, yes I know he's handsome, but he ate my green socks! And I don't think the Styrofoam is working. This charm he now uses is ruining our lives! I mean! I liked my green socks! One of them even had sparkly Snitches on them! The cheek! Can you tell him to take the charm off, and tell him to be nice the house elves?
-Green sock less
(from Golden*Faerey in Sirius Denial)
Dear Green Sock Less,
Um, are you surprised? I didn't let him take over my column. I told James to take over my column. I can tell him, but he doesn't listen to me.
Moony
Dear Moony,
Can you please tell Lily's friend to stop telling me I'm going to die! She just keeps on passing me notes in Charms saying "You're gonna die Potter. So is Lily, so is Sirius. Remus will be a teacher. Peter will be the downfall of all of you - Elizabeth" Sure, she's saying nice things about Lily and I getting
together! But the whole death thing is really freaking me out! Can you, do something about it?
-Prongs
(from Golden*Faerey in Sirius Denial)
Dear Prongs,
I've tried. Lily's tried. She keeps saying I'm a teacher.
Moony
Dear Moony,
I was quite disturbed to see a rat, a dog and a stag in the prefect's bathroom yesterday.. Am I hallucinating, or were there really animals watching me bathe?
-Aladdin
(from Golden*Faerey in Sirius Denial)
Dear Aladdin,
I'll....talk to my dorm mates about their pets.
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
Well, Sirius Black has been just as annoying as usual. He has dropped the psychologist-role for a new torment to his fellow Gryffindors: he runs around the common room telling other students: "I touch myself." If any innocent Gryffindor asks him: "What?" then he'll touch his face and laugh hysterically.
Beside's Sirius's annoying new phase, a new trend has been started by the students of Gryffindor. A group of third years, consising of Megan Nroh, Natalie Hguab, and Marie Nalon, has started a new way to send anyonomous notes. Called "Goldnotes", they're a kind of anyonomous Valentine that anyone can send to anyone else, and come with your choice of flowers, candy, or green Jell-o. Marie, Megan, and Natalie have enchanted these Goldnotes so that they can carry a human voice in much the same way as Howlers without the huge sound. And these have been sent to almost all students. Sirius Black is notorious for sending them to Slytherins singing shrill love songs, and to one person as another, causing several unlikely or likely couples to hurry it up and get on.
And with these Goldnotes, another sweet stroke shows through. James Potter has, (some say as an attempt to impress Lily) sent Goldnotes to all the people in Gryffindor. For those students who don't receive any Goldnotes, this is a sweet gesture and has even more girls fainting over his feet. But for all the Goldnotes everyone else has gotten, Lily Evans has received thousands, almost all singing horribly written poetry.
And your gossip columnist can exclusively reveal, through Marie Nalon herself, that Remus has come to them at least six times, all with different variations on what kind of love-note to send to Aladdin Niadra. "Some are really horrible," she said, making a face. "Some were beautiful. But he still hasn't made up his mind."

Lioness Poetry
The Lioness has picked a poem this week from the two sent to her room and would like to say thank you to all the participants! Her favorite appears below.
cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't enough for you to be able to be open wide
and every time you speak her name does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you died
but you're still alive and I'm here to remind you of the mess you left when you went away
it's not fair to deny me of the cross I bear that you gave to me
you, you, you oughta know

Notebook: I thought this chapter would come easy, but there I go thinking again. :7 Well, anyway, enjoy now that it's come! The poem is from the song 'You Oughta Know' by Alanis Morisette and Sirius is inspired by Justin Sulfridge, the small Sirius-act-alike. Go Justin. For all you NL people, Goldnotes inspired by Boograms.
Challenge Updates: I've had two winners so far, but I haven't heard back from them, so their names won't be posted. Everybody is going back and pulling out all the OCs I ever used, but it's none of them. Once you know, you'll just go "Oh!" and understand. Anyway, enough with tantalizing hints. One more hint: she ain't a....fifth year. The other word was too easy to guess.
Anonima, sweetheart, I write all the characters. But I did not do an SI as the Lioness. She is Canon. Duskrider Q, you're trying too hard. It's much easier than that.
