If you could have control of the world for one day, what would you do?

Sirius: Well...

Lily: NO.

Sirius: But I haven't said anything yet!

James: It's probably best that it stays that way.

Peter: I'd like to ride all the rollercoasters in the world without having to wait in line.

James & Sirius: THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!

Lily: Rather unambitious, though. But harmless enough, I guess. I'd like to try my hand at straightening out some of the conflicts, though goodness knows that one day wouldn't really solve as much as I'd like it to.

Remus: I'd repeal all the laws that have no purpose except to impoverish beings just because they exist.

If you could go anywhere in the USA, where would you go and why?

Peter: Not Iowa.

James: Why not?

Peter: I don't like cornfields. They're scary.

Lily: You let him watch Children of the Corn didn't you?

Sirius: ...no we didn't. *looks around innocently*

Lily: Uh huh.

Remus: From what Angie tells me, there's nothing in Iowa except pig farms and cornfields. Not fun.

James: We could hit up Robyn's house, and then drop by Angie's. Haha, that could be fun.

Lily: I always wanted to go to California. I hear that it's very pretty there and in Hawaii.

Sirius: New York. If I didn't go there, I think Robyn would send her sockless ninja after me.

Remus: *laughs* I wouldn't mind going to any heavily forested areas. Just as long as there aren't any bears living there, so that rules out Angie's.

From: You guess.. ;)
What would you do if you found Snape's wand somewhere?

James: I don't think he's actually stupid enough to leave it somewhere we would happen upon it.

Snape: Of course I'm not.

Sirius: Though if we DID happen upon such a windfall...

Snape: *glares*

Sirius: A few charms would most likely be added before we gladly returned it.

Remus: Possibly a few concealed hexes as well, knowing you.

Lily: *sigh* You guys...

From: It is me!
If you could prank one adult who would it be?

Sirius: Hahaha, with no repercussions? Easy! Pulling a prank on old Voldie would be the culmination of everything that we learned for seven years.

James: Wow, that would be awesome. Of course, it's all fun and games until someone gets the Killing Curse thrown at them.**

What colour underwear are you all wearing? Snape, you too!

Snape: I refuse to answer this. It's none of your business!

James: Haven't you read Order of the Phoenix? He wears gray underwear!

Sirius: Ugh, that book.... *sigh*

James: Oops, sorry mate. Forgot. Anyway, to answer the question, I'm wearing this lovely pair of red plaid boxers. *grins*

Peter: Mine are plain white. Not very interesting.

Sirius: I could show you...

Lily: NO! Bad dog!

Sirius: You're not fun! And mine are navy blue. *winks*

Remus: I really don't like this question, but if you must know they're black.

James: C'mon Lils, your turn.

Lily: *sigh* If you must know, they are orange today.

Where's the cream filling?

Sirius: I ate it!

Peter: No, I did. Then I put soap in to replace it.

James: That's why he's been burping bubbles all afternoon. Been trying to figure that one out. I thought he'd just finally caught rabies. *evil grin*

Sirius: HEY!

Remus: *laughing*

Who do you think is the Half Blood Prince? It isn't Harry or Voldie. Snape has to awnser too!

Sirius: Well, it's not me. I fell through the hole, as Robyn's friend likes to put it.

James: It's obviously not a pureblood wizard, nor a Muggleborn. I kind of like the idea of the 'half blood prince', like they're the best of both worlds or something.

Lily: And it can't be Harry or Voldemort, either. First, Harry's not a half blood since both James and myself are wizarding folk. And Jo Rowling said that it wasn't Voldemort either. I think it's going to be a new character, personally.

Remus: I agree with Lily that it'll probably be a new character

Do you know what neopets are?

Sirius: I don't think anyone's ever figured out what those things are.

Lily: They're those online pets, aren't they?

Remus: Yes, they're online pets. Angie has two of them.

From: Sarah Castlestream is like.. My name in English =)
Hi everyone! I just have to say that I love you Sirius, and I don't want to make you sad, but.. You can't be god, because I am. Or, I'm a godess, but shit the same. I've got a question and I can't find any answer for it. Who is Birdie!? Oh yes, sorry that my english might be terrible, but I did my best (I'm from Sweden, but notice that I'm not saying that all Swedish guys are that bad as I am).

Sirius: *sigh* Birdie is the nickname given to an RPG character of Robyn's. She was a Mary-Sue love interest for me. Very sweet girl, too. And great with fire spells. *evil grin*

Remus: Didn't she burn your eyebrows off a few times when she got mad at you?

Sirius: Yeah, yeah, but they grew back. *sticks tongue out*

From: P.A.D.L
Why is 'abbreviation' such a long word??!

James: I dunno. Moony?

Remus: It just is.

Sirius: Gee, thanks Moony. That was helpful.

From: Wolfgirl Silver Suicune
Were there any major fires at Hogwarts lately?

Sirius: Why, what have you heard?

James: We haven't had anything explode or catch fire in any pranks lately, so no.

Lily: Which is pretty impressive for them.

Sirius: HEY! Every fire is intentional when it happens. ...well, most of them, anyway.

Remus: Except for a few times when Birdie's anger got out of control...

Sirius: I thought we were dropping the RPG discussion. *glares mildly*

From: Mandy moo
Hi everyone, if you were in a muggle school, what would be your favourate subject? Btw mine is Business Studies or Economics (my friends think i'm mad)

Lily: I always liked Art class.

James: History is kind of interesting, though I bet I'd like Phys Ed a whole lot more.

Sirius: Same. Though you can blow things up in chemistry, I hear.

Remus: Keep Padfoot away from chemistry! I'd probably love history, there isn't really a muggle equivalent for DADA.

Peter: Music class, I guess. *blushes*

From: DolphinLover
Why do all my friends like annoying me?

James: Friends annoy you because they care, usually. Padfoot and I annoy Moony and Wormtail as well as each other on a regular basis. It's a natural thing in friendships. *smiles*

From: Stephanie D
If the world was going to collapse, and you only enough time to say one sentence to one other person, what would it be and why?

Sirius: "James, why are you wearing Lily's dress?"

James: That's right strange, you know that?

Sirius: You expect anything less? *grins*

Lily: I'd say to whoever was closest, "Get a doctor" probably.

Peter: "What'd you put in my pumpkin juice this time, Padfoot?"

James: "Snape, you have a lovely bunch of coconuts."

ALL: WHAT?!

James: Wanted to be more random than Padfoot. Heh.

Remus: Very disturbing mental image there, Prongs. I don't want to know WHERE that came from.
