Rumor Has It That Snape Bought Five Copies

Desperate to support their growing Butterbeer habits, the boys of Slytherin resort to posing for the infamous Nerds in Kneesocks Calendar.

That's What Friends Are For.

Marjorie, thank you so much for helping me get ready for my date with Todd Harrington. I don't know what I would have done without you!

Oh, that's no problem Tiffani. I was happy to help out.

I mean, I just had no idea what to wear, you know? I was having like a total clothing crisis! At first I thought I just go classic with a little black dress but then you pointed out how boring that can be and you know, I think you're right.

Oh, I'm definitely right on that one! This is so much more...interesting than that simple black sheath you wanted to wear. Honestly Tiffani, you just play it too safe with your fashion choices. You have to take risks, you know?

Right, right....I guess you have a point. And Marjorie? I just wanted to say how completely cool you're being about this whole thing. I mean, I know that you had a crush on Todd Harrington for a really long time and I felt a little funny about accepting a date with him. But you were just so nice about it, offering to help me get ready and picking out my outfit. I mean, I couldn't ask for a better friend than you.

Uh huh...well, I just want you to be happy Tiffani. You and Todd Harrington...I want you to be...happy.

Thanks. Okay, you're sure that this look isn't too much? I mean...I know the white pants are hot and the sweater is cute, I really like the brown color. But the head thingie...?

Tiffani! That's the best part! I mean, the whole look would be ruined without that! You HAVE to wear the outfit exactly the way I put it together!

Well. Okay...if you're sure. But Marjorie....you don't think it looks like...I don't know...kind of like a turkey flew into the back of my head?

NO! I mean, no...not at all. It looks cute. You look really cute. Todd Harrington is going to totally love it...

Okay, if you're sure. I guess I'm all ready then! Do we have time to practice those dance moves you taught me? I still haven't really gotten the hang of that one where you scratch your foot on the floor and flap your arms. I know you said it was the newest craze on American Bandstand but it just looks sort of goofy when I do it.

That's because you're not flapping hard enough. Let's go over it again. And make sure you're really scratching your foot against the floor. Oh, and don't forgot to bob your head while you do it.

Marjorie, I don't know what I would do with you! You're the best!

Oh sure Tiffani. Best Friends Forever, that's us!

With Apologies To The Lovin' Spoonful.

Hot town, summer in the city
Taco salad shell on my head, thought it looked pretty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a mirror in the city

All around, people looking goofy
Why'd I put this on, did someone slip me a roofie

But at night anything flies
Put on pants with a 16-inch rise
Come-on come-on and stare at the sky
Despite the heat just give it a try

And babe, we can't always be witty
But we try, with this dumb little ditty
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city....
