You have just won a box of chocolate. What do you do?

Sirius: Give some to Moony since he's going to follow me around until I do.

Remus: *laughs* Nice tought, but I wouldn't do that. If I won a box of chocolate I'd take out my first picks and then share it.

James: Probably share it with my friends. But Lily gets first pick. *smiles*

Lily: I'm surprised, Sirius. You didn't say anything odd like, "I'm going to Disneyworld!"

Sirius: ...what's a Disneyworld? *looks confused*

Sirius, Do you ever shake off water at James when you're Snuffles?

James: Ugh, don't encourage him.

Peter: He soaks whoever's closest. *sigh*

Sirius: *evil grin*

Remus: Unfortunately, Peter's right. Wet werewolves are not happy werewolves, either. *glares at Sirius*

From: Mr. I Have Anger Issues
What is your favortie game: Exploding Snap, Gobstones, or Chess?

James: We play Exploding Snap a lot on the train. It's easy to play that game anywhere, though we do like chess. But Moony usually wins.

Lily: Which is why I usually play chess with him, since you guys get annoyed when he constantly beats you.

Remus: I think it's because I'm the only one who has any sense of strategy.

James: We're better with prank strategy. *grins*

From: G.I.R
If you could have a super hero name what would it be?

Sirius: Hey, you cold be the Prongsinator! *thumps James on the back*

James: That is just about the dumbest name I have ever heard.

Sirius: Well I'd probably get stuck with something like 'Snuffles the Wonder Dog'.

Lily: I think that's kinda sweet.

Sirius: You would. I'd rather be something cool, like the Burninator.

James: Trogdor again?

Sirius: Got to go with the classics. *shrugs*

Remus: *sigh* How about we keep him away from Robyn's computer?

From: Bored
If someone is allergic to dogs, would that mean their allergic to Sirius?

ALL: *laughs hysterically*

Sirius: That's not funny.

James: I thought it was.

Lily: it is a fair question, though I don't think the Animagus form works that way. Otherwise people that allergic to cats would sneeze al the way through Transfiguration class.

Remus: And I agree with Lily, I don't remember anyone sneezing around Sirius.

Sirius: Oooooh, we should try that sometime!

Peter: You're on your own there, I don't want to offend Professor McGonagall that personally. I like living...

James: Party pooper...

From: Journi
What is your favorite hygiene object?

BOYS: *Stare*

Sirius: Oh, the potential this has! If only we had a higher rating than PG-13! *whimpers*

Lily: This is an awfully odd question.

James: And we have to keep it clean? No pun intended there. *winks*

Peter: I'm a fan of soap, myself. Pretty much cleans all things.

Sirius: The backscrubber is quite handy.

James: Toilet paper is useful. Can't exactly go without it very long.

Remus: Shampoo is great, and is something that should be used more often by certain beings.

Lily: This is kind of girly, but I like bubble bath. It's relaxing to soak in the tub, and bubbles are fun.

From: Keri L.P
Are any of you afraid of clowns?

Sirius: I think Wormtail doesn't like them much.

Peter: *shudders* Ever since my mum had one at my 5th birthday party... The things scare the life out of me!

James: No wonder you didn't look too good when Lily took us all to the muggle circus that time.

Lily: I'm sorry, Peter. You should have said something!

Peter: Nah, the cotton candy and the animals more than made up for it. *smiles*

Remus: Not surprising. *smiles*

From: Nelly
Tell me, which element do you all identify with? Snape's got to answer too!

Sirius: FIRE!

Lily: Saw that coming from a mile away...

Peter: More like 10 miles...

James: Wind, I guess, since I like flying.

Lily: And the wind-swept look. *evi grin*

James: Hey, I stopped doing that a long time ago!

Lily: Yes, yes, I know. But it's still funny.

Remus: I identify more with water. Water can either be calm or a raging torrent and is necessary.

Sirius: Yup, we always need Moony around. *winks* He helps keep us out of major trouble.

Peter: I'm not sure what element I would be. Earth, mabe? I do like Herbology...

Snape: I don't have to answer these ridiculous questions.

Sirius: Besides, slime isn't an element.

Lily: Darkness can be seen as an element. And with darkness, there's always a little light as well. *smiles*

Snape: *opens mouth to say something, then stops and closes his mouth*

James: Wow, he's speechless. Then again, he's never really had anything against Lily. She's nice to everyone.

From: Punk Rocker!!
I was wondering if any of you guys have any tattoos? I'm asking you, too, Severus1

Snape: Other than the obvious reply? No, I do not.

Sirius: Yeah, I got one as a dare once. But you can't see it. *winks*

James: I haven't got any.

Remus: Don't have any either.

Lily: Um...I have a tiny one.

Peter: You, Lily?!

Lily: What? It's a lily flower, and it's on my hip about where my appendix would be.

James: ...sorry, what was the question? I was having very nice mental images there...

Lily: Behave yourself, James. *rolls eyes*

James: *grins*

Peter: I don't have any tattoos. I don't like needles.

From: Johanna
Can you speak any other languages? Like romanya or turk.

Lily: Does 'drooling boy' count?

James: Hey!

Sirius: Hey Moony, don't you speak some other language? I know we all know a little Latin, but not much.

Remus: *nods* I know some French, as well as Latin that we use in classes. Picking up German from Angie as well, although her choice of vocabulary most of the time is not anything I would repeat.

From: Mayla
Do you guys have any weird sleeping habbits. (ie: sleepwalking, sleeptalking, snoring)

James: *snickers* Well, Padfoot does tend to talk in his sleep.

Peter: A lot.

Sirius: I can't very well control what I do in my sleep.

Remus: Some of the things he says in his sleep are very disturbing.

Lily: I have seen Peter walking around the common room once or twice, but I'm not sure if he was awake or not.

Peter: I have sleepwalked on occassion. *blushes*

James: I might snore a little sometimes. *sigh* It's kind of embarassing.

Lily: But you're cute when you're asleep. *smiles*

From: Nia
Hey guys! I was wondering, what's your weirdest dream like? (This includes Snape.)

Sirius: I can't talk about it here. It's not for the faint of heart.

James: If this has anything to do with the stuff we heard you talking about in your sleep last week, I don't want to hear about it either.

Lily: Dare I ask?

James: Let's just say that Padfoot could do very well as a writer of a certain genre.

Sirius: PRONGS! you swore you wouldn't say anything!

James: I didn't say what you said. Like I'd ever repeat some of that with Lily around!

Peter: I sometimes dream about school and it feels so real that I think I'm awake.

Lily: I don't usually remember dreams, but sometimes I have weird ones when I've been thinking a lot about something.

Remus: I usually don't remember dreams, unless it's my mind sending me images of things that happened to me in the past.

From: MickiGryffin
Snape, if you were an Animagus, what would you be?

Snape: *sigh* What is with all these annoying questions? If you must know, the animagus form isn't chosen by the person exactly as much as it is the nature of the person that chooses it.

Sirius: What would an animagus slimeball look like, then?

James: Maybe a bat?

Peter: A snake would be interesting.

Remus: Maybe a slug.

Snape: *sigh* Why do I even bother? *walks away*

From: Kyla
Uhh... Snape? If you don't like coming here so much, then why are you continuously coming back??

Sirius: I think he just left. But you know he keeps coming back because he cabn't get enough of us.

Snape: *from the next room* More like I can't get away from you!

James: *snorts* Right...

Remus: I think Angie and Robyn trap him here so he can answer questions that people send him.

From: Sushi
What's the most money you've ever spent on one Zonko-spree?

James: What was the record, Padfoot?

Sirius: Bah, I don't remember. It was in galleons, that's for sure.

Lily: You shouldn't squander money like that.

Remus: Yet they do.

Peter: They can't help it, it's convenient. Though they do come up with some pranks that do require personal engineering.

From: QB2
Lily, what happened between you and your sister to make you guys pretty much hate each other?

Lily: *sigh* Well, she is the older of us, and she expected that she would be the center of attention for the most part. At first she resented any attention that I got as the baby of the family, but that's normal. We did get along alright when we were little. But when I got my letter, she was already nearly a teenager anyway. It was an extra boost of jealousy and anger towards all the attention I got because I was a witch. I think she wanted to be special in some way, too. I certainly don't fault her for it, but I feel bad that we could never really reconnect after that. I think deep down she still loves me, as I love her. After all, she's the only sister I have.
