The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog?

Sirius: What's this about a lazy dog? :P

James: Sounds about right.

Sirius: HEY!

Remus: Well, most of the time. If a certain girl asks him to do something he's not lazy.

Sirius: ...I thought we agreed we wouldn't drag her into this anymore...

From: Binx
For All - What do you think of how Snape treats Harry and what are you going to do in retaliation?

James: Ugh. Remind me to come back and haunt his sorry arse.

Sirius: Heh, ditto.

Remus: If I could do something other than try to get him out of trouble, I would. It's hard with the Ministry breathing down my neck.

If you could force feed Snape either a pb&j sandwitch or s'mores, which would it be?

Sirius: Peanut butter & jelly. I'll take the s'mores myself.

James: You mean, WE'll take the s'mores OURselves.

Sirius: Right, what Prongs said. *grins*

Remus: I'm not going to let the slimeball take any chocolate!

From: Erika
What do you think of tattoos?

Sirius: I like'em. But not really huge ones like those scary Muggle bikers have. That's just strange.

James: You have a motorcycle, you prat.

Sirius: But am I a big scary biker?

Lily: Nah, you're just big and scary.

Sirius: Ha ha, Lils. Very cute.

Remus: I'll pass on tattoos, although I can see certain other people getting them. *looks at Sirius*

Sirius: What? There's nothing wrong with a tatoo. Just not a big scary one. :P

Have you ever got an official warning becouse you have using magic outside school?

James: *snickers* Padfoot got one the first day he got home from our first year.

Sirius: *glowers* Hey, you try living with Regulus and not hexing him into the next room.

Lily: My sister isn't a piece of cake either, you know.

James: Yes, Lily, but you have something called self control.

Lily: Something which none of you have?

James: ...somehow that compliment got turned back on me.

Remus: They usually do, Prongs. And Lily, I'm hurt. I have self-control!

Lily: Yes, I know that. I didn't think we needed to reitterate something that everyone already knows.

From: hello
Remus, who is the biggest idiot? Sirius or James?

Sirius & James: WHAT?!

Remus: Both of them are about the same, idiot-wise.

Sirius: I'm hurt, Moony!

James: And I'm stunned, nice to meet you. *shakes hands with Sirius*

Remus: See what I mean? *sigh*

I am studying to be a technical director at my loacal community theatre and was wondering what you guys favorite plays are!! EVERYBODY has to answer this one!

Sirius: Favorite play? Um...

James: Padfoot, have you even *seen* a play?

Sirius: Of course I have! My mum dragged us to tons of those things, but they were kinda boring, so I never paid attention.

James: Your mum took you guys to Muggle plays? *stares*

Sirius: Oh, Muggle plays? No, you kidding? Then I guess I can't answer.

Lily: I don't think any of you can, except maybe Remus who's actually read more than just books on hexes.

James & Sirius: *grins*

Lily: I rather liked "To Kill A Mockingbird".

Remus: I like Shakespeare plays, "Macbeth" and "Hamlet" were both good.

From: Erin
Can any of you play an instrument?

Lily: I took piano lessons for a few years when I was younger. Got fairly decent at it.

James: Nope. Played Quidditch, not instruments. *grins*

Peter: My mum made me take clarinet before I went to Hogwarts. It was awful.

Sirius: Sorta taught myself guitar when my parents weren't looking. Which wasn't very often.

Remus: I don't play any instruments, although I wouldn't mind learning how to play at least one.

Ok, this question is for..... EVERYONE! (but especially Remmy-kun XD ) If there was one person you could go back in time and NOT meet, who would it be?

James & Sirius: SNAPE!

Lily: *sigh*

Peter: But who would you torment if you hadn't met him?

James & Sirius: ....

James: He's got a point, there.

Sirius: Yeah. But I bet there would be another snake we could annoy, so it wouldn't been so bad.

Remus: I would not want to meet the crazy guy who came up with the whole idea of a werewolf registry.

From: Fuzzy Death
Hello all! This is a question for Sirius! I know you HATE the family topic, but why the heck didn't you leave your mum's crib sooner? By the way---SCURVY DEATH!!!!!!!! (its a pirate saying)

Sirius: ARRR!

ALL: *sweatdrop*

Sirius: *grins*

James: Just answer your question, you git.

Sirius: Heh, right then. I would have left earlier if I'd had the money to. That, and I couldn't exactly live on my own being underage. I put up with everything at home for as long as I could until I could get away. Plus, it would have been hard for a kid to run away from a family of Death Eaters and live to tell about it. *grimmaces*

From: Macbeth W. Cauldrina
What's your favorite kind of food? And NO Sirius, you CANNOT pick more than one.

Sirius: *pouts* No fair!

James: Glutton...

Sirius: :P And I like chicken wings. What were those ones we had that time, Lils? Cow wings?

Lily: Buffalo wings. And I like watermelon best, if I had to choose.

James: I'll eat just about anything, but I'm kinda partial to carrots.

Sirius: Of course you would be, deer boy.

James: :P

Remus: Chocolate! :D

Sirius: Oh, there's a surprise. Moony's a chocoholic. ;)

From: Mia
First off I love you Sirius!!!! Secondly, Who would win in a fight James or Lupin? I'm not going to include Sirius in this bacause I would already know the answer. *winks at Sirius* Oh yeah and my B'day is today!!!!!!! Thanks.

James: Happy birthday, then ^^; ...and why would me and Moony be fighting in the first place?

Lily: I think we're going to have to go to Sirius for this one, because I'm biased, James and Remus themselves can't answer, and I don't think Peter could choose.

Sirius: That's a tough one. Prongs is bigger, but Moony's smarter. Then again, Prongs fights dirty. Then AGAIN, Moony has been around us for way too long and it's always the quiet ones...

James: You're thinking about this way too much.

Remus: At least he's thinking for once.

Sirius: Aren't you proud? :P

From: Jessica Clark
Ok, I have been DYING to ask this question for ages now, so please answer! Do any of you enjoy gardening?

Lily: *smiles* I rather fancy growing flowers. We had a small vegetable garden back home, too.

James: Playing in the dirt is kinda fun.

Sirius: Playing in the dirt is DEFINITELY fun. *evil grin*

Peter: My mum has a garden and I'd help her out with the weeding and stuff.

Remus: I don't mind gardening, but if I'm outdoors I'd rather be out walking through a forest or something.
