Ask the Marauders > April 7, 2006

Name: DI Sparky
You just defeated Voldemort. What are YOU going to do next?

James and Sirius: We're going to EuroDisney!

Lily: Ew, EuroDisney? You two can afford to go to the real Disneyland or World over in America.

James: We could do a Disney World Tour and go to TokyoDisney, too.

Remus: But why? We could just take a trip around the world and it would be more fun than stupid Disney theme parks.

Peter: You know, seeing as all of us are either dead, going to be dead/in prison, or relatively poor, how the hell woudl we swing Disney anything?

Sirius: Oi, I'm sure Harry'd take Moony to Disneyland if he wanted to go. I'd do it myself, but I'm currently at VeilDisney, unfortunately.

James: Leave it to Disney to make a theme park out of the afterlife...

Name: Orchid
Remus, I'm sorry to embarass you, but is your hair completely grey yet? It gets greyer every book. Have you ever considered dying it?

Remus: It's not completely gray, but it's getting there. And I'm not dying it.

Sirius: Yes, and I'm sure lots of those gray hairs are my fault.

James: And mine!

Peter: I'm sure I've caused a few as well.

Remus: Yes, you lot did. And Harry hasn't helped matters any.

Lily: I'm surprised you lot didn't give me any gray hairs....

Name: Padfoot clone
What is Dumbledore hiding in his beard?

Sirius: Muggle candy?

James: Ew, would you eat hairy candy?

Lily: I have the feeling that 'Padfoot' would eat anything.

Peter: You could wash it off.

Sirius: I wouldn't eat it without washing it. And you know, it could be individually wrapped, so no hair.

Peter: Maybe he has a book in there. Y'know, in case he gets bored and wants something to read.

James: But I thought all he ever wanted for Christmas was a pair of socks, not more books...

Remus: He has everything and anything in his beard. It's certainly large enough.

Name: Tomoko
So, what were your thoughts when the site reached 200,000 hits?

James: You lot are crazy for coming here so consistently?

Remus: You appreciate the fact that Robyn and Angie let us run amok on the Internet.

Sirius: You love me! You really love me!

Peter: As much as everyone seems to love you, Padfoot, I don't think they come here just for you.

James: Yeah, they like Moony, too. And the rest of us, to some extent.

Lily: Some extent? *raises an eyebrow* You were getting just as many marriage proposals, dear.

James: That's no determining factor. Snape got a few, too, didn't he?

Remus: Unfortunately, yes. I think we need to give those girls some potions.

Peter: I think it's rather brilliant, that the site's lasted this long and done well enough to reach 200,000 hits and beyond.

Sirius: Robyn was totally flabbergasted when it happened. She doesn't normally watch the counter, so she didn't realize it was coming until it was past. She wanted a screenshot. [Robyn: I got one sometime afterwards. Heh heh...]

Name: White Tiger
Hi. Have you realized that nearly (if not all) the questions are asked by girls? Just wondering whether you noticed.

Sirius: We noticed. Most of our fans are girls. After all, we are rather good looking.

James: Which isn't to say that we don't have male fans as well. We love all our fans. The girls just seem to outnumber the guys by quite a lot right now.

Remus: And it will probably stay that way.

Lily: We do have boys asking questions sometimes.

Peter: Does Robyn's boyfriend really count?

Sirius: He is a guy, isn't he? I'd say that counts.

James: And his questions tend to be entertaining. At least Robyn and Angie get a good laugh out of them.

Name: Maureen
Do you believe in good luck charms?

Lily: Luck is what you make of it. I suppose that Felix Felicis proves that there is something to luck, but even then, there are too many factors to control to make yourself truly lucky.

James: Charms don't work so much. Tried that once when I was still asking Lily out. Was that fourth or fifth year?

Sirius: Beginning of fifth.

Remus: That was the only time you really worked at doing a charm right.

James: Yeah, anyway, it was a load of tosh. She punched me.

Lily: Well, you were being a bit of a git.

James: That was your excuse 90% of the time...

Lily: And you were a git 90% of the time when I saw you. But you grew out of it.

Remus: Only 90%? I thought it would have been higher.

James: Hey, aren't you supposed to be on my side?

Name: Boringme
Sirius, why are you so over-protective of Tonks?

Sirius: One of the few familial relations I've got that isn't totally insane. She's a nice girl, and Andromeda's my favorite cousin.

James: Though, if you look at the choices you had for 'favorite cousin', was it that much of a contest?

Sirius: Meh, not really. But yeah, I'm protective of everyone that's important to me. You lot, Harry, any of my family members that aren't complete nutters and decent people...

Remus: Who are very few in number.

Name: Zevazo
What is your favorite made-up word?

Sirius: Does yarr count?

Remus: No.

James: That's more of a sound, not a word.

Sirius: Then how about fangoriously?

Lily: You didn't make that one up!

Sirius: But it's made up! There's also ginormous, ridonkulous....

James: I think you're ridonkulous.

Sirius: But you love me anyway. *grins*

Remus: In spite of your ginormous ego. *grins*

Name: Hermione
If you scratch Sirius on the stomach, does his leg wiggle?

Sirius: !!!

James: Oooh, we haven't tried that one yet.

Lily: *giggles* Can I? Can I?

Remus: None of us will try to stop you.

Sirius: Ugh.....do we have to do this?

Peter: I think you're stuck, mate.

James: C'mon, you've hung things on my antlers. The least you could do is submit to a tummy rub.

Sirius: Only if Lils does it. I don't need you rubbing my stomach, thanks.

Lily: Hooray! *scratches Sirius' stomach*

Sirius: *trying to restrain his legs from moving*

James: Haha, looks like you're having a bit of trouble there, mate.

Sirius: I hate you so much right now Prongs...

Remus: *laughs*

Name: Jenna
Hey! Which is your favourite pair of socks?

Peter: I rather like the blue ones I got last Christmas...

Remus: Don't have a favorite pair.

James: What sort of question is this? What're my favorite pair of socks?

Sirius: Maybe it's one of those psychological test questions? You should say that you have no need for socks. That you are a sockless ninja.

James: Yeah, that works until the real sockless ninja comes to kill me in my sleep for taking her title.

Lily: You are assuming that she'd waste her time coming to kill you who are not only already dead, but also a fictional character.

James: ...fair enough. I am a sockless ninja! I have no need for socks!

Sirius: Fear his socklessness!

Angie: Not as much as MY socklessness. *evil grin* I despise socks.

Name: Vilma
Sirius, since you like to put new words into being, what are your thoughts on 'truthiness' (copyright of Steven Colbert)?

Sirius: Truthiness, eh? I rather like that one. Though Moony had a good one. What was it? Funnification? Heh...

Remus: It wasn't as good as truthiness.

Name: Sirius' Obsessor
Howdy all of you. I read the March 17th entries and read the one about you guys being able to read each other's body language, but then I thought, 'I wonder if they can understand what other animals of their animagus species are saying.' So can you understand what other dogs, deer, and/or rats are saying?

James: When we're in animagus form, it's easier, but it's not a complete thing, as we're not really animals completely. But I suppose we could pass as animals enough in that sense.

Sirius: I've not really interacted with that many dogs while a dog myself, so it's hard to say. I can usually tell what Moony's trying to 'say', but he's not exactly a dog, so that might be different? Ugh, I'm sure this is in one of those big old books he likes to read...

Remus: I think you can tell what Moony's 'saying' because dogs and wolves are closely related.

Name: Katherine
So what do you guys think about the response to the whole Remus/Sirius slash thing on April Fools Day? People were pretty excited about it. *I know I was*

Remus: I didn't like the slash thing, but the responses were hilarious.

Sirius: I was sad there wasn't a bigger response. C'mon, only 20-odd comments? Snape got 82 comments for his Dungeon of Love. *shakes head* Not on, guys, not on at all!

James: I did like the comments you guys left. Amusing. There were people that were excited in positive and negative ways. My favorites were when people didn't at first realize it was a joke. Heh...

Sirius: I'm still a bit surprised at that. We're the Marauders! Of course *something* is going to happen on April Fool's Day. Our reputation is at stake!

Name: Carrot cake
Did you do any good pranks on April Fool's? I didn't have time, but I hope you got old Snivellius back!

Remus: Robyn and Angie pulled one of the best pranks.

Sirius: You were obviously not in the forums last weekend, Carrot cake.

James: Haha, that was fun, running about the forums. Took a while for people to realize who we were.

Sirius: Well, I thought we'd made it fairly obvious with our profiles and things. Though I rather liked my forum name.

James: I don't want to think about your pants or their level of stealthiness, so I will just move on to the next question...

Sirius: No fun. No fun at all.

Remus: At least his pants didn't disappear on the forums.

Name: me
So I went through the old April Fool's pranks section and I was wondering... Sirius, how did you like being called "the god of stupidity" in the 'Snape's Dungeon of Love' version?

Sirius: At least he is admitting that I am a god.

Remus: But do you really want to be the god of stupidity?

James: I don't think it's a question of wanting. He just is.

Sirius: Yeah, I just a...HEY!

James: *snickers*
