If you were able to do anything, to COMPLETELY let loose, what would you do? In other words, what is your deepest desire?

Remus: I'd hex the people who love to make my life miserable.

James: Yeah, but we do that for you. *grins*

Sirius: And we all know that Prongs's deepest desire is to marry Lils and carry her off into the sunset. Either that or play Quidditch professionally.

James: :P Thanks a lot. *small voice* Even if it's true.

Sirius: I'd want to hex my entire family, probably. Or turn the lot in to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

From: Tony
Remus, have you ever been caught streaking? Don't lie, I KNOW you do it...

Remus: Only during the full moon. Unlike some people, I can't afford to get new clothes every month. *looks at James and Sirius*

James: ;_; Moony, it's not exactly our fault you know...

Sirius: Yeah, and I'd give up the money to be rid of this sodding crap they call my family. --;

Remus: Padfoot, your family is more than just sodding crap. --;;

Sirius: I'm feeling charitable right now.

Remus: That explains it.

From: Natalie
If you could be one other person for a day who would it be?

Sirius: Someone that's even more cool than me?

James: Or someone with an even bigger ego.

Lily: Not even possible.

Sirius: Ha ha, Lils. What about you?

Lily: Maybe a famous singer. That would be interesting.

James: I don't know, to be honest. I like myself too much.

Lily: I thought we worked past that finally.

James: :P

Peter: Someone a bit more brave, I guess.

Remus: I'd like to be a famous author, that would be interesting.

From: Marianne
Sirius: Okay, so you're not a good swing dancer. How are you at the waltz? I'm quite good myself, I could teach you to dance. *wink wink*

James: Haha, you should have SEEN him at that dance. Poor girl he had with him was exhausted at the end of that travesty.

Sirius: What do you know. :P

James: You danced so fast that you made the girl motion sick.

Sirius: Oh sod off... --;

Remus: You DO know that the point is to not make your dance partner sick, right?

From: Remy
What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

Lily: I like Rocky Road.

James: Vanilla since you can put lots of stuff on it and make it taste different every time.

Sirius: Chocolate with those mellow things.

Lily: Marshmellows.

Sirius: Yeah, them.

Remus: Chocolate fudge almond.

Peter: Fudge ripple.

From: The girl who's animagus form is a fox
Hey Remmie, last week you said you liked books by Marion Zimmer Bradly. So does that mean you have read Mists of Avalon? Thats awesome! lol I love that book, but its kinda a woman's book isnt it? I have a feeling Lily has read it, it seems like her type of book.

Remus: I've read Mists of Avalon, it's a very good book. I don't think it's just a woman's book, and it does put a different perspective on all Arthurian stuff. Especially since Merlin wasn't a person, but a title.

From: Georgia
If you had to be a teacher at Hogwarts, what would you teach? And James, Quidditch doesnt count.

James: ;_; It doesn't? Well, bugger. Transfiguration, then. Always was pretty good at it.

Sirius: Erm, Care of Magical Creatures or Defense Against the Dark Arts, I guess. I like animals, but I want to be an Auror, too.

Lily: Charms. *smiles*

Peter: I think I could handle Herbology.

Remus: Defense Against the Dark Arts.

From: Mister Hotdog
If you were a hotdog and you were stranded in the desert, would you eat yourself?

Lily: Good grief...

Sirius: A hotdog? *looks ill* That's almost like eating myself already.

James: Hotdogs are those sausage things that Muggles eat at ballparks and stuff. My question is, if you're a hotdog, why would you need to eat?

Remus: If I was a hotdog I'd be worried about being cooked out in the desert.

From: Calliope
A boggart sees you...what does it turn in to?

James: Padfoot's was kinda funny.

Sirius: *growls* It was not, Prongs.

Lily: What was it?

James: It was his mum. Not that I blame him. That woman IS scary.

Sirius: Well it's no worse than yours!

Lily: Oh? *curious*

James: *sigh* Mine was a gigantic ant. *shudders*

Lily: *giggles* That's kinda funny, actually.

James: Thanks a lot, Lils. What about you?

Lily: Um...I guess a Death Eater. They really give me the creeps, not to mention they disgust me beyond belief.

James: Don't worry, we'll keep those gits away from you. *grins* You've got me plus the three of them to kick their sorry arses. They wouldn't know what hit them. *smirks*

Remus: It turns into the full moon. *angsty sigh*

Sirius: Or a crystal ball. Heh, Moony, you could be secretly afraid of Divination!

Remus: When the boggart changes, I can't see through it. You can see through a crystal ball. So it can't change into a crystal ball.

Sirius: *shrugs* Well, whenever we look into a crystal ball, it looks awfully foggy. *grins*

Remus: Maybe we should find a boggart so I can prove to you that it turns into a full moon and not a crystal ball.

Sirius: Maybe we should. :P Party pooper.

Hello guys...Just wondering, what's your favorite (Wizard-) candy? Can ALL of you (including Snape) answer this question, please*puppy eyes*?

Snape: *grumbles* What is it you Muggles want now?

Sirius: Hey Snivelly, they want to know what candy you eat. Is it blood lollipops? *snickers*

Snape: If you must know, I like pumpkin pasties. Are you satisfied?

James: Never, but that'll do. I like chocolate frogs myself.

Sirius: Every Flavor Beans! Yum!

Lily: I rather fancy anything with chocolate, really.

Remus: I'm with Lily.

Peter: I'm not sure, but I sure don't like Cockroach Clusters. *glares at James and Sirius*

James: We apologized about that already, Pete. Sorry.

From: Isabella
Sirius which one of your family would you most want to curse and why? by the way I love you all!

Sirius: Hm, well probably my brother. Stupid git is such a mother's boy and I can't stand him 99% of the time. He was okay until he was about 7. Then mum got to him. *sigh*

Lily: I'm sorry your brother was such a prat.

Sirius: *shrugs* I think it's more my mum's fault. She was such a piece of work. I think I'd curse her just for ruining *both* our lives. *growls*

From: Caz
This is for Lily-how,where,when and why did you unfortunately happen to meet James and Sirius?

Lily: On the train on the way to Hogwarts our first year. The prats got me with some stinkpellets. *sigh* I stunk all through the sorting.

James: We apologized for that. We were aiming for Snape, but you tried to stop us right as we threw the things.

Lily: Yeah, but I still ended up stinking, so the apology didn't help that.

Sirius: As you can see, once Prongs deflated his HUGE ego, Lils finally got over the stinkpellets and agreed to date him. Ain't love grand?

James: :P You're one to talk about huge egos...

Remus: Anyways, back then they didn't listen to me. Still don't, as a matter of fact.

James & Sirius: You know you love us! *grins*

From: Zanfarca
Where do witches and wizards lern to read and do math before they go to Hogwarts? Do they just go to muggle schools?

Lily: I went to Muggle elementary school, being Muggle-born.

James: Learned at home. I think most wizard-born kids learn that stuff at home with their parents or older siblings.

Remus: I also learned at home, it would be too obvious if I was to go to school, then be conveniently sick every month.

From: Blaise Zambini
*whispers*if you were a care bear, *voice gets louder, combined with snickers* which one would you be?*laughs insanely and uncontrollably*

Remus: Care bear? Is that some muggle thing?

Lily: Yeah. Let's see. I think you'd be the Tenderheart Bear since you're such a sweetheart. *smiles*

Remus: Thanks a lot, Lily. :D

Lily: James would be Champ Bear if only because it's the athlete one.

James: Ha ha ha. :P

Lily: Sirius...hmmm, I guess Funshine Bear, which is the class clown one.

Sirius: Fair enough. *grins*

Lily: Peter would be...I don't know...Share Bear? You do share your food with the rest of us on the train usually. Since your mum always packs you so much.

Peter: Aww, thanks Lily! *smiles*

Lily: And me? I guess..

James: *looks at a Care Bear site* Oooh, Loves-a-Lot Bear! You do love everyone and like to make everyone get along. *grins*

Lily: *blushes*

Sirius: And Snape would be Grumpy Bear since he frowns ALL the time. ;)

From: Roma
Snape figures out a way to clone himself. Now there are 100 Snapes running around Hogwarts! What do you do?

Remus: Try to figure out a way to get rid of the clones.

Sirius: That many Snapes?! *looks faint* Think of all the tinking!

James: We could have an entire RAINBOW! Ooooh!
