Ask the Marauders > October 23, 2004

Sirius: *walks in, dressed as a pirate* Yarrrrrrrrr! *swings sword around*

James: *joins him, dressed instead as Robin Hood* One more 'yarr' out of you and we're taking your sword away.

Sirius: You're no fun, Prongs!

Remus: *joins the two idiots--er, boys--dressed as a Musketeer complete with rapier*

Lily: *wearing a silvery dress and fairy wings, walks over to Sirius and bops him on the head with her fairy wand* Be glad it isn't the real wand, or you'd be tinking by now. Don't poke anyone's eyes out with that thing.

Sirius: Not even Snape's?

Lily: Not even his. *Sirius pouts*

Peter: *from the next room* Do I have to come out there like this?

James & Sirius: YES!

Sirius: It was a dare, mate. And you accepted.

Peter: *whines, but comes out dressed in a maid's outfit* I hate you all.

James: But you look so cute. *snikcers*

Peter: You would think that I would learn not to take dares from you two. *sighs*

From: Tomoko
Describe in one word of one syllable about Professor McGonagall. Everyone give it a go, please?

Sirius: Is 'strict' one syllable?

James: Not sure, ask Professor Dictionary over there. *nods at Remus*

Remus: Professor sounds nice, but I'm not a dictionary! And yes, Padfoot, 'strict' is one syllable. And I'd describe McGonagall as 'sharp'.

Lily: I was going to say 'smart'. Intelligent would be a better word, but it's a few syllables too long. *smiles*

Peter: I think I'd pick 'hard'. *tugs at skirt*

From: Lost!?
What breed of dog is Sirius' animagus form?

James: I think it's a Newfoundland, or something similar to that. It's large and black, at any rate.

Sirius: Whatever I am, I'm still loveable! *grins*

Remus: Only to certain people.

Lily: *rolls eyes*

Sirius: Ye best not be mocking me, fair maiden. *pokes Lily's side with the wooden pirate sword*

Remus: *pokes Sirius with his rapier* Don't poke Lily.

Sirius: Fine, I'll poke you. *pokes Remus*

From: Shadow Bandit
For a school project my class is creating a world. It's my job to make the religion and I was wondring if I could use you guys (and Lily) as gods?

Sirius: Well, of course that's fine, since after all I am... *strikes dramatic pose with sword held high*

Lily: Don't say it.

Sirius: *drops sword arm and pouts*

James: I guess you can use us, though giving us godly powers is probably asking for trouble. *winks*

Peter: Would we be gods of specific things? Like in Greece and Rome, for instance?

Remus: We better be gods of specific things or that world is doomed.

From: Lilienne Prune
What color are Sirius' eyes?

Sirius: They're very pale blue/gray, honestly. More gray than blue probably, but I don't stare into the mirror that much to notice.

James: Uh huh, that's why it takes you the longest to get ready in the morning.

Peter: No, it's because he doesn't get out of bed until the last possible second. *pulls at the costume more* How do you girls wear these things?!

Lily: They're made to fit our body types better. And we're used to the oogling. Not that we always appreciate it.

Remus: At least I haven't been hit for oogling a girl. *looks at Sirius*

Sirius: I like to think of it more as a playful slap...

From: Veggie!
Have any of you tried to be a vegetarian? Are you now?

Peter: No, I haven't tried being a vegetarian, but that's because I like all kinds of food. *smiles, then thinks of something and goes looking for his wand*

Remus: I haven't tried to be a vegetarian. The wolf inside absolutely hates it when I eat vegetables, to be honest.

James: I haven't tried it either, but I do eat more vegetables then the rest of this lot does.

Sirius: Yeah, Deer Boy hasn't completely been waned off the taste of meat just yet. I'm about as far away from being a vegetarian as a person can be, probably. *grins*

From: HooHooMunky
Do any of you wear black nail polish?? *looks significantly at Sirius*

Sirius: Never tried that one. I don't think I've ever even gone near make-up.

Remus: Yes, you have.

Sirius: Okay, maybe that one time, but that was totally Lily's fault.

Lily: It's fun trying out new looks on someone else besides yourself. *winks*

Sirius: *grumbles*

James: Actually, I think Robyn owns black nail polish. She doesn't wear it all that often. I think her boyfriend wears it more. *snickers*

Robyn: Well, it's true. *shrugs*

From: Rose
Padfoot, did you know that there's a car radio thingy named after you?

Sirius: Yeah, I'd heard about this! There's also a coffee place here in DC that's named after me. I'm just so great. *grins insanely*

Lily: Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight....

From: Salime Antaris
Who looks best in a dress: Snape, Lucius, or Sirius? Lily doesn't count, Jamsie, sorry. ^_^

Sirius: Nah, skirts make my butt look big.

All: *stare*

Sirius: What? Bella hexed me into a dress once when we were growing up.

James: And that's one of the many reasons why he is the way he is today...

Sirius: *sticks tongue out at James*

Remus: It WOULD explain a few things...

Peter: Ah ha! *returns with wand, points it at Sirius*

Sirius: What the...?! *now wearing a maid outfit to match Peter's*

Peter: You said it was a dare, you didn't say I couldn't get you back. *grins*

James: *laughing hysterically*

Sirius: You think this is funny? *points wand at James and now he's wearing a third incarnation of the maid uniform*

Lily: You three make quite the trio. Nice legs, ladies.

Sirius: Ah well, Happy Halloween everyone! *grins and waves the pirate sword he managed to keep*
