Ask the Marauders > September 28, 2003

From: Yavanna
Have you ever been to Sweden?

Sirius: Um...not yet. And I think we answered this one already.

Remus: We did answer this one.

James: Maybe Robyn's starting to lose it?

Lily: Dealing with you lot, I'm not surprised.

Sirius & James: HEY!

From: Spellman
Hi again!!!! Ok, this is for everyone, including Snape (but if he doesn't answer anyone of you guys can answer for him). If you had one song that perfectly fits you, what would it be? And I love you Sirius!

James: Um....I rather like...

Sirius: "RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER"!

James: *glares* Padfoot.....

Sirius: *grins* If you don't like yours, you can give me one.

James: Fine then. Yours'll be...."How Much Is That Puppy In The Window?"

Lily: You're both idiots. But that does fit Sirius. *smiles*

Sirius: Meanie.

Remus: I'm not sure what my song would be.

From: Lucy
I'm just wondering if you were this mad before you guys became "The Marauders"?

Lily: Yes, they were.

James: Nah, not *this* mad. I think we drove each other above and beyond the borders of sanity, but we weren't sane to begin with.

Sirius: Here, here!

Remus: I know I wasn't sane to begin with, but that was due to circumstances beyond my control.

From: Crazy Trekkie
Question: Sirius, you're apparently the budding sex god. Care to comment?

Sirius: *blinks* Thanks?

James: *snickers* Budding sex god.... That's a new one.

Remus: *snickers* So THAT'S why Birdie's been having to control her powers... **

Sirius: *sputters* I...what...That's none of your business, Moony! *glares*

From: Rinuial
Hullo! This is a question for Peter. What type of cheese was the cheese chasing you in your dream?

Peter: *sigh* If you must know, it was cheddar. Took me a week to touch the stuff again.

James: THAT'S why you wouldn't eat it at meals.

Sirius: And why you shrieked when I handed you that huge block of cheese.

Remus: Makes sense.

From: Hikari
Why is the sky blue and why is the grass green?

James: Blue makes nice contrast for Quidditch balls.

Lily: Because it would look strange? Though I suppose if that's the way it was it wouldn't look so strange, would it?

Sirius: They're blue and green because I MADE it that way. *grins*

Remus: It's because of the particles in the air, and the chlorophyll in plants is green. And Padfoot, you're not God.

Sirius: Says you! *sticks tongue out*

Peter: *shrugs* I don't know, but apparently Moony does. *smiles*

Snape: It just is. Nothing a simple Muggle such as yourself should concern yourself with.

From: Shadsie Black
I want an answer from ALL of you! Here's my question: Your mother just woke you up. What goes through your mind?

James: Five more minutes....

Sirius: Go away you evil wench.

Remus: Leave me alone....

Lily: I don't usually have to get woken up, but I guess I'd think that my bed is too comfortable to get out of.

Peter: Probably think of whatever I was dreaming about.

From: Celia
If there was a Halloween costume ball, what would you dress up as? (Everybody please answer!)

Sirius: A pirate? Arrr!

Lily: Hmm, how about a fairy queen?

James: Not sure. Maybe a knight?

Remus: An elven warrior.

Peter: My mom dressed me up as an elephant when I was five. I don't think I've gotten over that quite yet...

From: thefemalepadfoot
I just want to know, have you ever fallen out with each other you know had a huge argument.

Sirius: Yeah, we've had huge arguments, but it doesn't always last very long.

James: I think the longest we've stayed mad at each other is about 2 days? Or was it 3?

Lily: It was three. The longest three days in history.

Remus: And the quietest.

From: Laura
What is your favorite candy at Honeydukes?

James: All of it. *grins* But actually I like the fudge.

Sirius: Acid pops if I can convince Snape to eat one. But Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans otherwise.

Lily: They've got a lot of different kinds of chocolate.

Remus: I'm with Lily. Chocolate...*_*

Peter: Too many to choose from.

From: Stacey
Who would win in a fight: Frosty the Snowman or Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?

Sirius: Prongs can't answer.

James: And why not?

Sirius: You're biased.

James: Am not.

Sirius: Then who would win?

James: ...Rudolph because he could MELT Frosty by kicking him into the lake.

Sirius: Riiiiiight.

Remus: There is some logic to that...but if Frosty surrounded Rudolph then the poor deer would get frostbite.

James: Not if Frosty met Rudolph's antlers...

Peter: Do reindeer even have antlers that would do anything?

From: Lia
Just wondering, but what the bloody hell is tinking?!?

Lily: Good grief. Tinking...

Sirius: *grins* The greatest charm invented.

James: It's when something blinks one or more colors.

Remus: Usually Snape.

From: Pippen Potter
Hey guys! Up for a game of worse-case scenerio?! Would you rather show dear Severus some love and give him a kiss on the lips, or show him (and the rest of the school) some skin by streaking at the next Quidditch match? Hehe, you ALL HAVE TO ANSWER!!!

Boys: *stare*

Lily: Heh, I'm going to opt for one. It's the lesser of two evils.

James: Um....would I have to play starkers? 'Cause there is NO way I'm kissing Snape.

Snape: The feeling is mutual, Potter.

Sirius: Hell, I'll streak.

Peter: You already have. Remember?

Sirius: *grins* Oh yeah.

Remus: I did not need to be reminded of that, Peter. I wouldn't mind streaking, but only after getting a few concealing charms on me. Don't want to show off the wolf bite, after all.

Sirius: You don't want to show off the wolf bite, but you'll show off everything else? Those are some twisted priorities, Moony....

Remus: There are higher priorities than my dignity. Like freedom...

James: Heh, who needs dignity anyway?

From: Captain Feathersword
Ahoy, buckos! Arrr, did you know that September 19 be "Talk Like a Pirate Day?" Aye, it was!(www.talklikeapirate.com). Me question: Sirius, did you celebrate? No? Walk the plank, ye scurvy dogs!

Sirius: Arrr!

James: Yeah, Padfoot wouldn't shut up all day.

Lily: He never shuts up.

James: But this was more annoying than usual.

Sirius: Aww, you know you guys love me. *grins*

Remus: Actually, I leave that to Birdie.**

From: B-chan
I've been wondering this for a while but where do wizards and witches go to school before they go to Hogwarts, etc? .....I mean where in the world did you learn to read and blah or do they just pop that into yer heads?

James: Parents usually teach their kids letters and numbers after dinner. I think that's how everyone in the wizarding world starts out. There are some primary schools in heavily populated areas. I got to go to a small school near my house. Of course, it was mostly kids from wizarding families.

Lily: Muggleborns all go to regular elementary schools, like I did. I think some halfbloods do, too.

** Note: Birdie is the nickname for one of the characters from the Marauder Mayhem RPG. Don't worry, it's just us losing our minds. ;)
