If you had to say only two sentences all day, everyday, what would it be?

Sirius: "No, not there!" and "I've seen better."

Lily: What on earth?! *sigh* Sirius, you need psychiatric help...

James: You didn't know that already? Oh, and I would use "I don't eat broccoli." and "What's that doing here?"

Lily: You two are impossible...

James: I don't eat broccoli.

Lily: JAMES!

Sirius: *shrugs* I've seen better.

Lily: ...

Peter: *laughs*

James: What's that doing here?

Peter: Hey!

Sirius: No, not there!

Peter: ...

Sirius & James: *grin*

Remus: *sigh* Lily, why do we even try to deal with this bunch again?

Lily: Well, I know why I keep James around, but I guess Sirius just comes along as part of the package. *sigh*

From: huh
I just got my yearbook today, and I need Sirius's advice. What should I write on everybody's year book that will make me remembered?

Sirius: I've seen better.

Lily: Will you stop that and answer the question?

Sirius: Sorry. *distracted* Whoa, Data is awesome! "You will refrain from making her opponent disappear."

James: Stop watching the telly-vision and answer the question already.

Sirius: Um, well write something funny. But nothing offensive. You want them to remember you as a happy, funny person, not a meany. How about "Always eat your broccoli and the sun will always shine on you and yours!"

James: Random enough to be memorable. *nods*

Remus: And something that Sirius would probably put in a yearbook if we had them at Hogwarts.

What methods have proven affective for you when writing a very long paper last minute?

James: Look at Moony's.

Remus: *glares at James* Maybe that has happened in your dreams, Prongs.

James: Just kidding! :D

Sirius: Yeah, he wouldn't let us look, anyway. But to write a long pape really fast, use a lot of quotes and explain what the authors are saying in your own words.

From: Cilla
Hey. This question is for Remus. I've been dying to ask this for a very long time. When you and everyone else from Grimmauld Place (well almost everyone, sorry Sirius) went to St. Mungos to visit Arthur you stroled off and talked to a man who had been bitten by a werewolf, what did you talk to him about?

Remus: I talked to him about what it's like to be a werewolf. Poor guy had no idea what kind of hell he was going to be going through.

Lily: But at least you were honest with him, which I bet was more than the nurses and doctors were. And sometimes honestly is what people really need.

From: me
For everyone even Peter and Snape, like Snape is gonna answer anyway. Quick what's on your mind this very second? I think Snape is to worried about you guys changing his hair pink again to answer.

Sirius: Cookies are yummy.

James: *looking at Lily* Shiny...

Lily: I'm thinking about an essay I had to write for next term.

Peter: Why is Padfoot watching Star Trek when Robyn wants him to be answering questions?

Remus: Why is Angie obsessing over a guy friend of hers?

Angie: Am not. :P

Snape: What the devil am I doing here?

From: huh?
Sirius what's the most annoying thing you can think up of right.....NOW?

Sirius: Bee stings.

James: Why bee stings?

Sirius: There was a bee out on Robyn's balcony and she's afraid of getting stung.

Remus: Stupid people are more annoying, though.

Lily: I thought that went without saying...

From: Rinoa
Okay. Got a question for all of yall--which includes Snape *evil laugh*--and here it is: How many times has your mind been in the gutter? *laughs evilly again* ^^

Sirius: Mine lives there. *grins*

Remus: *sigh* We know. Mine gets down there on a fairly regular basis, like most -normal- guys.

James: Few times a day. Depends on what I'm doing, I guess.

Peter: Whenever I get dragged down by those two.

Lily: Ditto.

From: person
Did you guys ever try to prank Dumbledore? *looks at James and Sirius*

Sirius: Tried in our first year.

James: And had foot long beards for a week as a result. *sigh*

Lily: *laughs* Yes, that was quite memorable.

Remus: *laughs* It was hard to lose track of them.

Sirius: We never tried that again.

From: Usako
If squirrels were green, would they still taste like chicken?

Sirius: Moony?

Remus: They'd probably taste like a mixture of chicken and moss or algae...or whatever else turned them green. If it's just a charm, then they'd just taste like chicken.

James: ...too much thought went into that response...

From: Suicune
What do you think of Astrology?

Lily: Bunch of nonsense.

Remus: I'm with you, Lily.

James: A way for some muggles to make money tricking other muggles?

Sirius: I'm with Prongs on this one...

From: Chibi Wrangler
So if you were trapped on a desert Island with your least favorite person in the world and could bring one item, what item would it be? (for all the marauders)

Sirius: A tazer! Imagine the fun I could have with a tazer and Snape. *grins*

James: Why not your wand? Then you could hex him countless times.

Sirius: I was assuming that we wouldn't be allowed our wands. Otherwise, that would be my choice.

Lily: If not my wand, then a Swiss Army knife so I could survive until help came.

Peter: A radio, so I could call for help.

Remus: I'd want a deluxe Swiss Army knife, they've got more cool gadgets than the regular ones.

From: Silver
Have you guys ever tried to make a Snape voodoo doll?

James: Nope, but that's a great idea!

Lily: But you need a bit of his hair to do it.

Sirius: Ugh, well anything to nettle him. There are some sacrifices that much be made. *winks*

Remus: Just don't let anyone catch you sticking pins into it.

From: SirusLover
What kind of muggle cartoons do you watch?

Lily: We don't usually, but the boys do watch whatever Angie and Robyn tend to watch.

James: They're both anime fans, so we watch a lot of that sort of stuff.

Sirius: Robyn was watching Azumanga Daioh the other day. And we watch whatever's on Cartoon Network late at night.

Remus: Angie's been watching Gundam Wing lately, as well as whatever's on Cartoon Network when her roommate puts it on.

From: Pokemon fan
If you guys looked into the Mirror of Erised, including Snape and Lucius, what would you see?

James: Wow, I don't know, really.

Sirius: Probably you and Lils with a whole gaggle of kids.

Lily: Um, I only want two or three children, thank you. Unless you'd like to birth the rest of the 'gaggle', Sirius.

Sirius: No thanks. And I'd probably see the family I always wanted, not the mean-spirited lot I got stuck with.

Remus: I'm not sure what I'd see in the mirror.

Peter: Generally, you see yourself. *grins*

Lily: He's been around James and Sirius too long. *smirks*
