Ask the Marauders > March 20, 2004

From: would you like to know???
Ok, so James can't write poetry for beans. What about the rest of you? And did Lily ever see the poem that James wrote?

Remus: Let's...not discuss my poetry.

Sirius: *snickers* It can't be as bad as that little ditty Prongs made up about cheese and snitches. That was pretty awful.

James: I'd like to see you try under similar circumstances.

Lily: James, hon, you probably don't.

James: ...you're probably right.

Peter: I'm not much for writing poetry. But it's pretty to listen to.

Lily: I did read it. It was sweet...in its intentions, at any rate.

From: Your good friend, the biased Blaise Zabini
James and Sirius, if love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? **evil grin**

Sirius: Do we even have to answer this?

James: I'm sure every guy alive (and I'm sure many girls as well) can't deny that lingerie certainly enhances a lovely figure.

Sirius: Though it could feasibly get in the way...

Lily: And that's the end of this answer. *glares*

Sirius: Heh... *grins*

Remus: Lils, you could tell that all of our minds would go into the gutter when you read the question.

From: Laur
I've known my friend for about 10 years now and we are in a gigantic fight. Have you guys ever been in a fight and if so how did you lets say make up? (And I can't simply just say sorry I'm too stubborn.)

Lily: Well, if neither of you is going to give in, you might want to ask another good friend to mediate. You shouldn't throw away a 10 year friendship on one fight.

James: Me 'n Padfoot got in a fight around the time I started seriously dating Lils. He felt rather put out.

Sirius: Mate, you had a one track mind.

James: So we had a huge food fight to resolve our issues.

Sirius: And get Snape covered from head to toe in pink frosting.

James: And everything was right with the world. Granted Lils' answer might be a better idea, in your case.

Remus: It might be a good idea to have another good friend to tell you how stupid you are being. That and mediate....

If you could put any phrase on those little heart candies you eat on Valentine's day, what would it be?

Sirius: *devilish grin* "Eat me".

Lily: *sighs* You're impossible. And I think, "A sweet heart for a sweetheart" is kinda cute.

James: I'm never good at these things. I think I'm safe with "I love you". Heh.

Remus: "L'amour", since it's easy to fit on one of those little hearts.

Peter: "I'm sweet on you"? *hides*

From: I-LIKE-CANDY
Do you guys think you are a right-sided brain (analytical and logical) or a left-sided (artsy music creative)? Everyone must answer this-including Snape!

Snape: I do not know why you all continue to pester me with such idle-brained questions. I haven't the time to deal with you.

James: I think that's a right-sided brain.

Lily: I think I'm more creative than I am logical, so I guess I'm more left-sided.

Sirius: Me n' Prongs are definitely left-sided.

Lily: Because neither of you is logical in the least.

Peter: Not sure, can you be inbetween?

Remus: I'm definitely right-sided, since I have more logical thoughts than them. *points to Sirius and James*

Sirius & James: Thanks! *matching evil grins*

From: I DON'T KNOW
All: Who is your favorite member of your family at this time?

Remus: My parents, actually. They talked to Dumbledore so I could come to Hogwarts.

Sirius: My cousin Andromeda is pretty normal compared to her horrid sisters. I think she's my favorite, and hopefully she'll stay the same sweet person she is.

James: My dad. Lets me get away with a lot. *winks* We drive my mum crazy over breaks. *grins*

Lily: My mum. She's a sweetheart, and a really amazing cook. I wish I could bake half as well as she can!

Peter: Some of my cousins are fun...when they're not bawling, as they're still kinda young.

From: Kiki
This question is for James: Are you afraid of planes or are you afraid of heights?

James: Heights? Ha! I laugh in the face of heights! Ha ha!

Lily: *whispering in an aside to Kiki* He hated the plane. It was out of his control and "shook to bloody much," as he put it. *winks*

From: Thunderkins
'Ello! I have more questions. This one is for Peter. Peter, if you were being chased, by lets say, a giant troll, what would you do?

Peter: Erm, other than run? I could turn into a rat and hide in a small hole so he couldn't get me. I don't think a Stunning spell would be powerful enough to knock him out. At least not one of my spells.

From: Me
James, why did you choose a stag as your animagus form? Isn't that a bit girlish?

James: *blinks* How is a stag girlish?

Sirius: *sniggers*

James: Quiet you. And I think the animal kinda chose me. Same for all of us, really.

Peter: Stags are rather regal. And protective. I guess that fits.

From: magsmiller
Which of you guys (not Lily) is the biggest idiot?

Remus: I vote for Sirius.

James: I vote for... *looks at Sirius*

Sirius: Oh hell, I vote for me, so you can vote for me, too, Prongs. *grins*

James: Okay, I vote for Padfoot.

Lily: Yeah, who didn't see that one coming?

From: Beth Valentine
Snape, how can you possibly dislike Remus?

Snape: How can you possibly like Lupin?

Sirius: How cryptic. Answering a question with a question.

From: RemusLupin-Tai-San
Hey guys (and girls ). Want to start with telling you how great you are... All of you. And now for the question: If you could be in a movie, what movie would it be? All must answer. (Snape inclusive)

Remus: Well, some of the Mel Brooks movies that Angie watches would be fun to be in...especially History of the World, Part I. Just as long as it's not the French Revolution segment.

James & Sirius: It's good to be the king.

Lily: Good grief... I'd like to be in Romancing the Stone, just because it looks like a good adventure, and it's got a nice little love story going on in it, too.

From: NearlyHeadlessNatalie
Someone has taken your most prized (material) possession from your dorm room. Who do you blame first?

Sirius & James: Slytherins.

Peter: And since when have they managed to get into our dorms?

Sirius: Good point.

James: We either lost it ourselves, then, or another one of us is playing a prank.

Remus: I'd think it would be one of Sirius's pranks. James knows better than to touch my things.

From: Weird Person
This question is for Severus. If you landed in the same house as the Marauders, how would your life be different?

Snape: I would have permanently flashing pink hair, most likely.

From: Moonbeam
Hi! You guys never answer my questions *tear tear*. Answer this: Water is to oil as Snape is to ____. You guys have to fill in the blank. I love you Remus!

Remus: Thanks, I think. And water is to oil as Snape is to shampoo.

James: Water is to oil as Snape is to bathing.

Sirius: Water is to oil as Snape is to pink polka-dotted petit fors.

All: *stare*

Sirius: *shrugs* Blame 'Dromeda? She's a pretty good baker. *grins*
