Dear Harry, I had the same problem as Sickohim but when I followed your advice he told the teacher that I was being mean and I got in trouble. What should I do? Peersun

Dear Peersun, You are in deep trouble - a teacher is now involved. I really hope it isn't one of those evil teachers that want to eat you apart. You've been forced to talk to them. Here's what you should do - tell the teacher the same thing. Add a spin to it, though, like 'He keeps nagging me at lunch, even though I never bothered him.' And also, convince the teacher by getting a witness claiming you never bothered him. If you don't have a witness, pay someone to pretend to be. Give them like, a ten. Then asked to be moved. Tell the teacher you have bad eyesight, or your spot in the room is too cold or warm, or something. Make anything up. And implement the silent treatment, too. Even more so. If he talks to you, look right through him. Ignore him to the max. Don't even flinch when he's around. Also, see if you can kill his cat. Did you try hexing? No? ...loser. What's that? You're a muggle? ... Whatever. Just follow the advice given in the first paragraph. And if worst comes to worst, instead of hexing, just walk up to him, tell him your religion doesn't allow you to talk to him and you love your religion, or something like that, and sever all ties. Glad I could help! *watches amused as my advice fails miserably* Harry

Dear Harry, My 'friend' keeps on trying to avoid me. I want to just say "hi" and talk with him, but he keeps on running off screaming as if I was going to attack him! I'm not the only one. He also does this to my other friend, I won't say her name (I don't mind saying the gender :)) But it is so frustrating!! When I get him pinned, he just keeps on tring to escape! We tried taking his jacket, succeded, but he didn't care! Inside the jacket were just his sunglasses and papers! I'm a muggle so I don't think I could use magic to keep him frozen so he could listen to me.... PLEASE HELP!! - Avoided friend in need

Dear Avoided, Your friend sounds like a very antisocial person. Make a pact with him. Promise you won't rape him more than once a day and you'll... er, do something. Dunno. Something he likes? Bribing usually works for me. Or just sneak up behind him, hug him real quick, and RUN LIKE THE DEVIL IS CHASING YOU. That way you get your hug and no one attacks you about it! If not... I know some good hit men (Crabbe and Goyle inc. is a good company to call) that will make him quiet down whenever you hug him. ;) That's all the advice I've got 'cause I'm a useless shi...talking mushroom. Oh, and get some new friends. Glad I could help! Harry

Dear Harry, There's this kid at school who really bugs me. He sits and brags about his work, which isn't any good, constantly hugs me, and never leaves me alone. I really hate him, and I've even exploded in his face during class, and he still doesn't leave me alone. What should I do? Thanks, Sickohim

Dear Sickohim..... (interesting name), Er, if he really bothers you that much, try talking to him. Explain how you fell and maybe he'll leave you alone. Yeah right. Run. Hide. Get a restraining order. Make your friends shield you, and whatever you do, do NOT talk to the teacher about it. Most likely, they won't do anything about it - in fact, they'll probably laugh, given that they're evil enough. They might taunt you for the rest of the year. Just give him the silent treatment - pretend he's not there. Don't laugh at anything he says, don't make eye contact, don't give him any sign that you understood what he said, even if he keeps calling your name like an idiot. As for his bragging - look at this work. Go over it, make sure you know what you're gonna say, say it clearly, quickly, andthen scram.Get out of there before he can say anything. Bathroom. Dead owl's funeral. Anything that might work. After that, don't even give him the time of day. He's not there. Over, goodbye. And if worst comes to worst, hex him. Here is a good list I've found: www.pojo.com/harrypotter/spelist.shtml That's the best I've got, sorry. Harry
