Sirius: Happy New Year!

James: *throws confetti at Sirius*

Sirius: Hey! You're supposed to throw that up, not at me!

James: Heh, sorry. *doesn't look sorry at all*

Lily: *sigh* Boys...

You know about the slash question you had about Sirius and Remus... Don't kill me or anything but are you offended about the slash deal about you two? (I only agree with Sirius/ Remus the rest is really disturbing) It just sound like you are offended by it when Remus turned green and Sirius fainted. Please answer this. My name says it all.

James: Well, we've seen it around a bunch, and honestly, it's just amusing at this point. Though, I have to admit that I'm not in on this as much as Padfoot and Moony are.

Lily: That would be because I'm around. *smiles*

Sirius: *sighs* Yeah, I know it's there. Don't like it, but not really all that surprised.

Remus: I don't like it much, either. Besides, I'm too afraid to let anyone that close to me!

Robyn: Actually, Angie and I aren't offended by it at all. Some of it is kind of overboard, but so is some of the het stuff, too. We believe that so long as the story is good and the plot is plausible, the you can write whatever you like. Of course, if you're writing utter fluff that makes no sense, you can leave out the plot being plausible part. ;)

From: Jessie
What is your favorite movie?

Remus: I haven't seen many movies...

Sirius: Those Lord of the Rings movies were fun. Lots of battles 'n stuff.

James: Yeah, those were cool!

Lily: I rather liked that soccer movie, Bend It Like Beckham. Being between two cultures isn't easy. *smiles*

From: Harry Potter Freak
James & Lily: If you didn't die what do you think life would be like for you guys & Harry?

James: It'd be a lot more lively, that's for sure.

Lily: That was an awful pun. *sighs*

Sirius: I don't know what their lives would be like, but I know we'd be babysitting a whole lot of children. *snickers*

James: *flushes red* Oi...

Lily: *smiles and clutches James's arm*

James: Heh heh...

Remus: He has a point...Sirius and I would be the first ones you would call for babysitting.

Lily: Though I don't know who would be babysitting who. The kids or you guys.

From: Just Wondering
James & Lily: Exactly why was Voldemort after you in the first place?

James: You know, I'd like to know that one myself.

Lily: Has to do with that prophecy, I thought?

James: Well, there's that, but why would he go to the trouble to killing off my entire family, too?

Lily: You have a point there. You're all Gryffindors and good people, though. So that could be part of it.

James: Yeah, I guess. Maybe we'll find out soon. I sure hope so!

From: Very Unique
To All(not Snape): If you could tell Harry one thing what would it be? All answer please!

James: There's good in everyone, no matter how deep it's buried.

Lily: I'd tell him not to waste his life in sadness, and to be happy, since that's all we ever wanted for him.

Sirius: Duck!

James: Duck? What good does that do him?

Sirius: *shrugs* I don't know, but I'm sure it'll come in handy at some point. *grins*

Peter: I... I... *small voice* I'm sorry...

Remus: Do what you feel is right, not what society says is right.

From: A person
Do any of you secretly love Snape?

Boys: *stare*

James: I feel ill now.

Sirius: Ill? Forget that, mate. I'm downright naseaus. That's a scary thought.

Remus: That's worse than all the slash stuff involving me and Sirius!

Sirius: Awww, you know you love me. *evil grin*

Lily: *rolls eyes at Sirius* I feel sorry for him, but I don't love him.

From: Corinne
Dude, where's my car?

Sirius: Wow, I'm sorry, mate. I think it's parked in a tree around the corner.

James: That was a heck of a parking job, though.

Lily: You two are NEVER driving a car again. Or enchanting one! *long suffering sigh*

Remus: At least they didn't completely destroy the car.
