Excerpt From the Journal of Peter Pettigrew
Journal,
Sirius pushed me in the lake, in January. I'm cold. That's all I'm writing because my hand is shaking too much. So I'll write for you Peter! And I didn't push you into the lake, you just fell in and I just happened to give you a little nudge. Besides, James told me too. And if it makes you feel better, Remus gave me a lecture afterwards about how you could've gotten sick and died. Good thing you didn't, huh
Yeaaaah.
Lunch
Hi Moony!
Why are you writing me...uh oh did Lily curse your mouth shut?
No. Prongs, Padfoot, and I are having a competition to see who can not talk the longest.
Hi Moony!
Hi Prongs.
Hi Moony!
Hi Padfoot.
How are you today Moony?
Just fine, and how are you three?
Good.
Tired.
Hungry.
We are at lunch Prongs, you can eat.
I'm afraid if I open my mouth words will come out and then I'll lose the game.
Oh. And why are you tired Padfoot?
Because I couldn't fall asleep in Binns class or else I'd sleep talk. Therefore, losing the game.
Ah, I see. Why didn't you ask me to play this game.
Because you'd win.
Yeah, there would be no chance for the rest of us.
I can be a talking machine sometimes.
Like when?
At home...
Yeah right. The time you talked the most was when Padfoot and I cast a talking spell on you!
And I was a talking machine, you see.
For a smart guy you can be pretty stupid.
Pixies.
Don't say that evil word.
Pixies.
I'm not talking to you anymore.
Good, because if you did then you'd lose the game.
Hey, that's right.
Excerpt from Sirius Black's Astrology Essay.
I chose to do my essay on the Dog star, also known as Sirius! Actually I'm going to be honest with you (Remus has been teaching me that honesty is good), I have no idea where this star is. I picked it because it's my name! Isn't that nifty. I have a star named after me, it's because I'm famous. Haha, I'm a star! A star, as in someone famed! Being a dog is the best animal too! It's the most loyal and its mans best friend. Go me, I'm a star and man's best friend.

Defense Against The Dark Arts
Evans...
Go away.
I wanted to tell you that I love the way your hair looks today.
Don't care.
Why won't you go out with me? I've been asking you for six years now.
Because you're still a jerk to others and you curse them all for the fun of it.
What if I was to stop
Like that'll happen.
What if I did?
Then MAYBE I'll give you a chance, but as of now, I can't see that happening.
Well one day you will fall in love with me.
Love potions aren't real love, Potter.
I mean REAL love, one of these days.
Right.
Really!
I was using a device called sarcasm.
Hey, Remus uses that a lot.
I wouldn't be surprised.
One of these days Evans, we'll get married and have a kid and live happily ever after.
Yes, we might get married and have a kid and live happily ever after but each of us to different people.
Next year, you'll see, I'll change.
We'll see.
Letters From The Summer
Dear Prongs and Padfoot,
How is your summer? What have you been up to lately? I'm guessing that Padfoot has moved in by now? My mum said you guys can come over sometime and we can play a round of Quidditch in the backyard. But this time, please don't lose the Quaffle into tree.
Sincerely,
Moony
Moony!
Yes Padfoot has moved in. It's great being away from my parents, they've completely disowned me though. Anyways, Padfoot and I have been sliding down the stair banisters all day. I suggested swinging from the chandelier, but Prongsie said no. Well, considering what happened last time. I only broke two ribs and my left arm, nothing major. But, yes, we'd love to come over, I could always use a round of Quidditch. And since Prongs's parents won't let us play in the house, we can't, considering that Prong's backyard isn't as big as yours. You know it's your backyard too now. Yeah I know, that's so cool! We'll owl Wormtail and tell him the plans. So how many books have you read so far, Moony?
Love,
Padfoot and Prongs
Padfoot and Prongs,
7 books, I'm losing my touch, I used to be able to read 9 books in a week.
Love,
Moony
Moony,
YOU MAKE ME SICK!
Love,
Padfoot and Prongs
History of Magic
I guess that you are a rabbit!
Wrong.
What are you two doing?
Playing Charades.
In class?
Yes.
So that's why Prongs was acting like a pig this morning.
No, he always acts like that when Evans is around.
Oh yes, that's right.
Moony, help me guess what Padfoot is.
Hm, a dog?
Wrong.
A monkey?
Wrong.
Ah I know...and Padfoot, that's not very nice.
What is he? What is he?
Me.
Ohhhh a werewolf.
Righty-O! Since you guessed it, you get to go Moony.
I'm not going to act out something in the middle of class.
Why not? You're not missing anything.
I'm sure you can just read three books on this topic later.
Very, very true. Alright I'll go.
Umm...a frog?
Nope.
A pixie?
Shut up.
No, I'm not a pixie.
A pig that's drooling and wearing glasses?
Ha no! You're Prongsie!
Very good Padfoot!
