Elvie,
I've been having a problem with some of my friends because my boyfriend is in another house. You see he's a Slytherin and I'm in Gryffindor. As you know, well there's always been trouble there. I love my friends, and I want to keep my bf too. Help!
Tearful in the Tower
Dear Tearful,
Well, speaking from a similar situation, I can see where there could be trouble. As you might know my husband was in Slytherin, and I myself was in Ravenclaw. (Maybe not the same houses as you and your beau, but similar problem.)
You see my brother and his mates were in Gryffindor and they did not approve of my relationship. So I explained to my brother how I felt about my then boy friend, and that I still loved him too. I would explain to your friends how you feel about them and your boy friend. Hopefully they will understand. Good luck!

Dear Elvie,
I have a girlfriend and I have yet to meet her family. Thing is I'm sure her mom will love me. But her Dad and brother being Slytherins might not feel the same. I want them to like me b/c I really like her. What should I do?
Woes of a Gryffindor
Dear WOG,
If I were you I would maybe meet the young womans mother first, and explain your fears to her, and your young lady. I'm sure they can both help when it comes time to meet her brother and Dad. Hope it goes well!

Dear Elvie,
I'm a very shy person and there's this boy I like. He doesn't have a girlfriend, but I don't think that he'd ever notice me anyway. I know a friend of his, (we're friends this girl and I) should I ask her to help me out in getting to know him?
Shy Over a Guy
Dear Shy,
If and only if you feel this young women is reliable should you ask her for some help. I wouldn't want to see your personal business end up all over the school becuase she went blabbing. Perhaps you might just ask the young lady who knows this boy what his interests are. Perhaps he shares the same ones you do. If so then you could use that as a jumping off point. Hope it works out for you!
