WOW, thank you guys so much for all the great reviews! We, TheMightyDucks (heehee), appreciate every bit of input, and it's great to know that our characters are evidently, well, in character...DDodgers grins mightily (and has, sadly, wanted to use that word forever). Anyway...

Marvinlebt42: Muchas gracias! ellilyo: Cracking up is good for the soul...we decided to keep them short because...who was it that decided to keep them short? Darkwing Duck glares at co-author. DDodgers: "What?" Aylah: Yes...Sirius and James are great, we wish we knew them personally...we know they're fictional...blinks...what?...obsessivescottishdemocrat:Step away from the sugar...and thanks! Everto Angelus: Thank you much; we had probably way too much fun writing them. :evil grin: hpfreak:Rules number 4 and 6 are,sadly, within the experience of one of the authors...who shall remain anonymous coughDuckDodgerscough...exceptit wasn't ape language and it was in a public market untilour legally blind friend messed it up by saying loudly, "What are you guys doing?"...oh crap didh/s/i just confess all of that?rosebud5: We will, and thanks much! Elfstorm:What do you think:winks:ACTUALLY, #1 was James and Sirius, #2 was Sirius, #3 obviously Sirius, #4 all four of them, #5 shall remain unnamed coughSiriusandJamesonadarecough, #6 Sirius and James but it was Remus who got in trouble by Groozlestig "for not controlling your little friends, you are a prefect after all, how DARE you shirk your responsibility, blah blah blah" (by that time the Marauders had fled the room. On their not-allowed broomsticks.).

Thank you for reading; we hope you enjoy this (short) entry, it is important because, well, lets' just say that Halloween is Marauder month...:grins evilly again:

The SECRET Journal of Sirius Black, Esquire

Do not open on pain of death unless of course you are Sirius

Or James Potter, also Esquire

October 1

Excellent! Halloween month! Of course this means that the Marauders will have to come up with something worthy of the holiday, how about taking Snivelly on a snipe hunt? Got an owl from my friend, he's Muggle-born so he has a driving permit, wish my mum would let me drive...Anyway, he goes to the States version of Hogwarts, and over holiday he and his best girl friend decided to take their cars and go jousting with billiard sticks! How brilliant is that! If they went to Hogwarts they would be honorary Marauders, that's for certain. Also he told me about the American snipe hunt, sounds like what Moony and I did to certain of my brothers the first year here. I wonder what James would think of this...

By the way, had to camp on the floor last night, I was trying to show Remus my new firecracker stash and one of them went off, completely destroyed the bed with this disgusting shimmering purple goop. I wonder what my dear brother, and maybe Prissy Narcissy, would think of finding it in their pumpkin juice tomorrow? Or maybe I should pass it off as pudding...

Sirius Black, Esq.

You know what to do...next one will be longer we promise!
