Gnome: If you own Harry Potter, please contact us so that we can buy him
off you.
Sploogal: Actually, don't sell us Harry, we'd rather have the Marauders.
Gnome: Except for Peter. We don't like him.
Sploogal: Yeah, he's ugly and he whinges too much. You can keep him.
Chapter 34
~~~"How about Padfoot?" Suggested Lily. When everyone turned to look at her, she shrugged. "It's supposed to look like the grim. It 'haunts' graveyards, and it's supposedly the devil's disguise."~~~
"How? How?" stuttered James.
"Oh, come off it!" scoffed Lily. "It's so obvious - you're never anywhere near as lively around the full moon, and besides, I saw you lot near the Whomping Willow!"
"What is going on here? What are you on about?" demanded Helga.
"Let's go to the Room of Requirement, shall we?" Sirius suggested timidly.
***In the Room of Requirement***
"Remus, you begin." prompted Yvonne.
"Ok, well, you see it's like this. . . I'm a werewolf." Remus stuttered, looking at his feet.
Helga burst out laughing. "Now, that is funny."
"It's not a joke." Sirius told her.
"No, I mean, everyone says 'Oh a werewolf! How terribly scary!' and it turns out that one of the nicest guys in our year is one!" She explained, still giggling.
"So, you don't mind then?" Remus asked hesitantly.
"Oh, come off it! I can't see a snout or fur on you, and you're not trying to kill me, so why should I mind?" asked Helga.
"So, that's the 'Moony' part, but what about 'Padfoot' and 'Prongs'?" Yvonne inquired.
"Yes, well, um. . ." stuttered James, getting up to stand next to Sirius.
"Ready?" Sirius asked.
There was a "Pop!" and suddenly, where James and Sirius had stood, there was a large black dog, and a magnificent stag.
Helga broke the resulting silence. "Yeah, I'll have to agree with Lily on this one. You do suit Padfoot." Helga stated as though she was merely commenting on the weather.
A/N Sploogal: That was short, wasn't it? Gnome: For once you're right about something. That was short. Sploogal: Is the next one long enough to make up for it? Gnome: (Flicks through drafts folder) I hope your fingers aren't tired yet, because you have a lot of typing to do. Sploogal: (Whimpers)
Sorry, we went sailing today in Gnome's new(ish) boat. It's so fun! We didn't capsize this time! Lol. Anyway, we're a little hyper. (You can probably tell!)
Ok, thanks to "Loony bout Lupin" "Selina Marie Souza" "DavidCamp" "Wicket(I love cricket" "SjabRox" "Manny2003"
"Loony bout Lupin" Sure, you can use the chufflebrain thing! Actually, I should have disclaimed that, but I forgot to. It's from one of Tamora Pierce's books. She's a very good author, so I suggest you all read her books!
"Selina Marie Souza" Don't worry about Rion. We like him too, so we're not going to kill him off. Or are we? Hehe. . .
"DavidCamp" Yes, we'd all love to take Sirius Black out for a beer! Wish we could, eh? Thanks for recommending that fic! I (Sploogal) read it, and I thought it was great! To anyone else reading this, go to and read it. It's excellent!
"Wicket(I love cricket" You know I don't care about cricket. Nobody in their right mind would have a crush on Brett Lee. We've all told you that a million times, but you don't seem to get it! You know you are making me insane! Have you finished the Pajama Band Song yet? Nina wants to hear it - we'll freak her out pretty thoroughly when we perform it for her!
