QUICK!!! Snape just screeched!!! What do you think happned!!!

Sirius: He saw himself in the mirror.

James: Padfoot zinged him in the arse with a spell.

Remus: He saw the effects of the spell that Padfoot and Prongs hit him with earlier in the day.

Lily: I don't know what happened, but I bet someone's getting a detention.

Peter: Maybe he saw a mouse? *grins*

From: Squirrelz
Lily, Have you ever tried using a muggle dog whistle on Sirius?

Lily: No, but that's a good idea!

Sirius: Lils! *whines*

James: Man, he even whines like a dog sometimes. *laughs*

Remus: *laughs* It also doesn't help that he already sleeps like a dog.

Sirius: You're no help. No help at all! Best mates my arse....

James: Best mates and a mate's best friend? *snickers*

From: Gingerpaws
Have any of you tried to run away from home?

Sirius: I *did* run away from home. When I was 16, I'd just had enough so I left. I camped out at Prongs' house until I was of age and then got a little place of my own.

Peter: I think Padfoot's the only one that's ever really run away. We all go running about at night, but that's only to goof around.

Remus: I haven't had much desire to run away from home. That would only end in disaster.

From: Stef
OK, this one's for Lily and James- if you were still alive what would you do to Snape if he was mean to Harry?

James: Nothing I wouldn't do to him now, probably.

Lily: Hmmm, I don't think he'd be mean to Harry if James was around still. He'd be mean to James. But I think that Severus would be a little nicer to Harry if I was there.

Sirius: I'm sure that Prongs would whip up something good if Snape was ever mean to harry. I know I would. *evil evil grin*

Remus: You'd do it anyways, Padfoot.

Sirius: Yes, yes I would. *grins*

From: Sushi
What should I write my Muggle paper on? (It can be on almost anything!)

Sirius: Me!

James: You can't be the topic of a paper.

Sirius: Why not? I'm pretty darn interesting.

James: While I don't doubt you're interesting enough, she should probably write it on something a bit more academic. Moony, you have anything?

Remus: Remus: I'd suggest doing your paper on something that interests you. Angie's did a very creative paper on vampire legend once.

From: Yolanda-Xin
How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie-pop?

Boys: *stare*

James: Didn't we answer this already?

Sirius: Not sure, but we could find out again anyway! Hey Wormtail, you want another lollipop?

Peter: Yay! *starts licking lollipop while others count*

Remus: One...two...three...four...

James: Hmmm, this is going to take a while. Can we just say that it takes a lot? Heh...

From: InsaneFreak
*innocent grin* Has Sirius had his rabies shot yet?

Sirius: I don't need a rabies shot. I'm a *human*

Lily: That's debatable...

James: Now that's kinda harsh, Lils. He's human....enough. *grins*

Remus: Even though he's mostly human he can still catch rabies if he got it in dog form.

From: Artemis
This is directed towards Sirius and James. When did the whole war between Severus and you guys start?

James: Well, I think it started on the train? When? First year?

Sirius: Nah, it predated that. I'd met him before because of my parents knowing his parents. We hated each other instantly, of course. And he may have disliked you before he met you, Prongs.

James: Wow, I never knew I could alienate someone without even meeting them!

Peter: Now that takes talent.

Remus: Are you sure it's talent, Wormtail?

From: Merlin
How would you react if I told you there was a pirate god?

Sirius: No way! *goes starry eyed*

James: You're kidding me.

Lily: I'd look into getting you committed.... *sigh*

Remus: *sigh* Here he goes again....

Sirius: YARR!!!!

From: Riddle
What would you do if you walked into McGonagall's class and found that you forgot to put on underwear?

Lily: Wow, that's a scary thought. I don't think that would ever happen, though maybe in a nightmare.

James: I wouldn't do anything. So long as I don't draw notice to it, no one would ever know.

Sirius: Nothing. I probably did it on a dare anyway.

Remus: Also nothing. No one would ever know anyways.

Peter: I'd blush as ask to go to the bathroom...

From: Marauder Fan
Star Wars or Indiana Jones?

Peter: That's not a fair question! They're both quite good!

Sirius: Hmmm, lasers or guns & whips...

Lily: I don't know either. Harrison Ford is in both triolgies. *grins* But I like Indiana Jones better. All the adventure and archaeology stuff. Well, psuedo-archaeology, at least.

James: Star Wars, since it's got that whole epic plot of the Rebels and the Empire. And Princess Leia. Strong women are hot. *grins*

Sirius: So that's why you like Lils so much. I don't think there's a stronger woman on the planet, since she puts up with you.

James: And by extension, you too.

Remus: *blows whistle he found* Nice one, both of you. And to answer the question, I'd rather watch Indiana Jones. Pseudo-archaelogy stuff is more interesting.

From: Mimi
So, about Robyn's game... What do you think of old Voldie as a chicken?

James: Awesome. And I'm the farmer, remember?

Sirius: I can't believe I'm your dog. Blech. At least I have a simple life.

Remus: Hey, I'm the horse, for crying out loud.

Peter: I was a chicken at one point, but you sold me. *tears up*

James: Sorry, mate. I'd get another chicken, but I think Robyn's going for a Death Eater theme with the livestock. Which I find fitting, since they make better animals than they do humans.

Snape: As you will note, I have nothing to do with this game. I am not a chicken or a cow or anything. I think it's silly. And as for the Dark Lord as a egg-laying [which means FEMALE] chicken, well.... Okay, that is a little amusing, but Robyn is lucky that a) the Dark Lord is not real and b) he doesn't know.

Remus: Wow, Snape thinks that Robyn is amusing. This is a start.

Sirius: But probably the end, too. Of the world, that is. *grins*

From: Zai Venath
Professor Severus Snape, I was wondering what condition a truth serums brew in and since I cannot seem to find this information in any of my books or any I have access to I am asking for your advice, it is after all your area of expertise.

Snape: I am sorry, my dear, but I am not allowed to tell you any more than is in the basic Potions books set for Hogwarts students. The production and usage of truth serum is reguated by Ministry law.

Remus: Thankfully for all of us.

From: HI
Have you ever stolen all of Snape's socks?

Sirius: Never thought of that one before. We're going to have to try that!

James: Fine, but you're touching them!

Sirius: Ugh, you have a point...

Remus: Why not use one of the school-issued broomsticks to touch his socks?

Sirius: Now there's something we wouldn't have thought of!>

James: See= this is why we always need Moony around he helps think us out of the tougher spots in our pranking

Lily: And sometimes thinks you our of detention, if you're lucky...

From: Katherine Potter
Who is the least sane of you lot?

Sirius & James: ME!!!! *raise hands*

Lily: It's a tie, though they sometimes pull ahead of each other.

Peter: The world barely handles two of them at once. *grins*

Remus: I'm just amazed that the world hasn't combusted into big balls of blue flame after some of the things those two have done.

Sirius: Aw Moony, you know you love us! *James and Sirius latch onto either side of Remus*
