Why is James so ignorant and funny?

James: What the devil? I'm not ignorant!

Sirius: You are when it comes to women.

Lily: *raises an eyebrow*

Sirius: Lils, do I *have* to reference the first 6 years of your mutual acquaintance?

Remus: And do I *have* to reference all the times you've come to me begging for a little "help" with your homework?

Sirius: Moony...never put words in quotes. Makes them sound...kinky. ^^;

From: Iloveremus
Ok, if you all were girls (and Lily, if you were a guy) What would your names be? i was thinking Sirius-Stephanie, James-Jamie, Remus *sigh, what a heart throb*- Rebecca, and Peter- Pansy, and Lily- Lucas. I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Sirius: Haha, Moony you stud. ;) And Stephanie? >.> Considering most everyone in my family has star/constellation related names, I'd have ended up as 'Adhara' or something.

Peter: What was that again?

Sirius: Second brightest star in Canis Major. :D

James: Figures. :P And Jamie? *sigh* Padfoot calls me that to annoy me. --;

Remus: Oh shut up, Padfoot. And I think that if I was a girl I'd end up with some kind of French name, goes best with "Lupin".

Lily: Lucas? *shrugs* I rather fancied Devin as a name. Works for both, actually.

Peter: Pansy? Is that implying something?

From: Belle
If ninjas and pirates got in a fight, who do you think would win?

Sirius: PIRATES! YARRRR!

James: Good grief, not this again. But I would say ninjas. They're all stealthy and stuff.

Remus: Ninjas.

From: Gingerpaws
Hey all! Sirius, did you ever jinx or hex Narcissa or Regalus?

Sirius: Do you even have to ask? Of cousre I jinxed that prat they expected me to call my brother. And got hexed myself every time I did it, too. *grumbles*

From: Pawsy
Okay, I don't if has asked this question before but here we go. I even want Peter, Snape, and the webmistress [C'mon, you guys hardly join in the questions!] to answer. It's a simple one. What's your favorite animal? : )

Sirius: I like dogs. *grins*

James: You are a dog, so of course you like dogs.

Sirius: Then what about you, deer boy?

James: I always liked owls.

Lily: Cats. ^^

Remus: I'm assuming this doesn't cover magical creatures, so I'll have to go with dolphins.

Peter: Um...the elephants were always kinda neat at the zoo.

Angie: I've always fancied wolves. Before I read the HP books, I'll have you know.

Robyn: I'm a cat person. Got two kittens back home.

From: Sammy
Now, if you had the choice between cherry pie and apple pie, what would you choose?

Sirius: Apple.

James: Me too.

Lily: Cherry pie with whipped cream. ^^

Remus: Cherry.

Peter: I..I can't decide. I like both.

From: Froggie
When you guys leave Hogwarts what jobs do you want?

James: Auror.

Sirius: Ditto.

Peter: Not an auror. Maybe something in the Ministry?

Remus: Professor.

Lily: Medi-witch.

From: Sarah
If you could change your name, what would you change it to?

Sirius: BOB!

James: You've got to be kidding.

Sirius: Of course I am. I like my name too much to change. I have my very own pun!

James: *sigh* Other than the Jamie jokes, I like my name fine, too.

Remus: I like my name fine, too. Although if I had to change it, I'd change it to Romulus.

Lily: I went through a spell where I really liked the name Adriana.

Peter: Hm...Roger?

From: Marianne
Please, all of you, I'm BEGGING you! Please answer this question for me, and I will be your slave! Here it is: Why the heck did the chicken cross the road?

James: To peck Snape's eyes out.

Sirius: And eat his underwear.

Lily: That's disgusting. Why would a chicken want to eat his underwear?

Remus: Because those two magically attached chicken feed to it?

Sirius: Now there's an idea... *evil grin*

From: Dreamer-chan
Well Remus, Do you have any books that you could recomend to any of us who are finished every book in thier library?

Remus: Hm...you should pick up some books by Marion Zimmer Bradly, those will keep you occupied for a long time.

From: Jamie
Hey James. If you had never been and wizard and never met Remus, Lily, Sirius, Peter and Snape, what do you think you're life would be like?

James: Hmmm, probably not as interesting as it is now. Then again, probably not as dangerous either. But life without Lily would be sad. *grins*

Lily: *smiles*

Sirius: What about life without us?

James: Like I said, probably be much safer. *snickers*

Sirius: Hardy har har. :P

Remus: He's going a point, Padfoot.

James: And it's not on my head. :P

From: Sammeh
For all of you.. What, in your opinion, makes the perfect girl?

Sirius: Before Prongs can say anything, I give you Exhibit A. Lily Evans. This is his perfect girl. The only one that is impervious to his idiocy.

James: *smacks Sirius* Thanks a lot Padfoot.

Lily: *laughs*

Sirius: Myself, on the other hand, fancy a girl that's funny, has a sense of adventure, and being awfully cute doesn't hurt. *winks*

Lily: You're such a prat.

Sirius: But a prat with a sensitive side.

Lily: Why do I even try?

Remus: I don't know, Lils. And my perfect girl would have to be someone intelligent, witty, and doesn't care that I turn into a wolf once a month. *sigh*

From: Captain Ushi
I was wondering, if you 4 guys and Lily could be superheros, what would your names be and what would your superpowers be?

Sirius: I want the power of fire! *_*

James: Flight. ^^ Quidditch without the broom! Oooh!

Lily: Power over water, if only to put out any fires Sirius starts.

Sirius: :P Party pooper.

Remus: I'd want power over nature...you know, talk to animals, summon vines, that sort of thing.

Peter: Super speed. I'd get to classes on time for once.

From: Ally
Peter, will you marry me?

James: Alright Pete! I can hear the wedding bells already!

Peter: *blushes* Um, I would rather date someone a little first instead marrying them straight off.

Remus: That makes it official...all of us have gotten proposals since this started.

From: Leilani Reid
If you could take eggs, water, light bulbs, and flour and use only those items for a prank, what would you do and who would it be on? ALL of you have to play a part in it... Even Lily, Remus, and Peter.

Sirius: What's a light bulb again?

Lily: Electric Muggle torch.

Sirius: Right, right... Um... *thinks* How's this: Make a voodoo doll aout of the flour and water and then using a bit of Snape's hair, we can electrocute him with the voodoo doll!

James: What about the light bulbs?

Sirius: They're Muggle items. Just put it near him and he'll freak.

Remus: You could use the light bulbs to electricute him. Not that I'm advocating doing that...--;;;

James: That works, too.
