“What’s a three letter word for a Communist country?” asked Sirius absentmindedly. He had folded the morning’s Daily Prophet open to the word games section and was ready to fill in the first blank of the crossword puzzle.

“Red,” said James softly.

“Thanks, mate,” said Sirius as he scribbled it down. “What about a five letter word for environmentally friendly?”

“Green.”

“I should have known that.” Sirius scribbled down the answer then asked, “What’s a four letter word for Easter flower?”

“Lily,” sighed James, a soft smile on his face.

“Hey, cool. That works,” said Sirius, raising his quill. He stopped and turned to his best mate, who was gazing at a very pretty red-haired green-eyed girl that went by the name of Lily Evans sitting a little ways down the table, and asked suspiciously, “Were you even listening to me?”

“What?” said James, turning back.

“Argh. Even when you’re not paying the slightest attention you still get the answers right,” complained Sirius.

“Of course,” said James arrogantly. “I’m James Potter.”

“And that is why Lily Evans won’t give you the answer you want,” inserted Remus, shaking his head slightly.

“Why?” asked Peter.

“He’s being arrogant,” answered Remus.

Sirius had turned back to his crossword puzzle. “What’s a three letter word for prat?”

“James,” cried Remus triumphantly.

Sirius looked oddly at his friend. “Sadly, Moony, that’s not even the right amount of letters.”

“Try ‘git’ then,” said James, returning to his own gazing.

“Wicked. And now all I need to do is to rearrange the answers to get a hex that will make Snivelly’s toenails grow and grow,” said Sirius with an evil grin.
