So, Sirius what do you think about about Potc2? I'll just assume that you've already seen it.

Sirius: Yarr!

James: Yes, we saw it the weekend it came out.

Sirius: It was a swashbucklin' good time.

Peter: Except for the editing that was sorely needed.

James: I think that was just the writers or whoever trying to get in as much set up for the third movie as possible.

Remus: But they took it to an extreme. There didn't have to be quite THAT much set up.

Sirius: That's right! There's going to be a THIRD movie! *grins*

James: *sigh* See what I have to put up with?

Lily: What *you* have to put up with? You're just as bad about, oh, quidditch?

James: *sheepish grin*

Name: Sanity? Where are you?
*hugs Sirius* What was the worst thing a Hogwarts Professor has ever done to you?

James: Wow, two in a row for Padfoot? You're popular today...

Sirius: I guess so. But to answer the question, if you include *any* Hogwarts professor that I've run into, I would have to say Snape trying to throw me to the Dementors tops the list.

Lily: Ugh, that is rather... That is worse than detention, by far. Most professors aren't trying to kill people.

James: You did get away, at least. But what about something not life-threatening? Like worst detention?

Sirius: Not cleaning the trophy room, since I did that so much. Maybe shoveling fertilizer in the greenhouses?

Peter: You certainly reeked after that.

Remus: *shudders* You have no idea, Peter...

Sirius: Imagine having a stronger sense of smell. That made it all that more painful. *shudders*

Name: kikioblack
Has Remus and/or Lily ever been drunk?

James: Oh, we've gotten Moony a bit sloshed. But it took an awful lot to get him that way.

Sirius: His ability to hold his liquor is amazing. I was in awe.

Remus: *chuckles embarassedly*

James: You were also on the floor, if I recall correctly.

Sirius: Ah, the floor and I became close friends that evening.

Peter: I don't think Lily is the type to drink so much that she gets drunk.

Lily: I'm not, really. Though after out O.W.L.'s, one of the girls smuggled in a case of butterbeer and we drank the whole thing. After studying non-stop and eating when we remembered, we got rather tipsy that night.

James: And how did I miss this? *pouts*

Lily: Well, I still thought you were an atrocious human being and you know that boys can't get into the girls' dormitories.

Sirius: I still resent that rule. Why is that birds can get into our dorms, but we can't get into theirs? Any one of you could come in the night and take advantage of us, all innocent in our beds.

Lily: Innocent my left foot. And since when do you stay in bed after hours?

Sirius: *grins*

Name: Terri and Tori
Where did you hide the chocolate?!

James: Hide? I think Moony ate it.

Remus: I didn't!

Sirius: Nah, it was me this time. Moony ate all my chocolate from Honeydukes, and I was hungry. Sorry Terri and Tori.

Lily: You could have asked him to not eat all your chocolate.

James: *blink* Lily, you have CLEARLY never encountered Moony eating chocolate. One does not interrupt him. Unless you want to become a wall fixture.

Remus: *embarassed again*

Name: GirlFromSweden
Hello guys! Which part of the day do you like the most? I mean, evening, night, morning?

Sirius: Night, of course. All dark and sinister. Perfect for skulking about and plotting mischief.

James: As much as I like running about at night, I do like afternoon. Great time for quidditch.

Remus: Afternoon as well. I don't like mornings, but I don't like night either. Unless I'm roaming about with this bunch.

Lily: I'm actually a monring person. I like the mornings since it's still very quiet most of the time. Especially on weekends. I get loads done while everyone else is still sleeping.

Peter: I like the afternoon, I guess. It's not too bright out like morning, and it's not dark yet and still warm. Unless it's winter, of course.

Name: Brie
What would you do if a fangirl/boy came up to you? And what if they had rum, Sirius?

Sirius: Rum is alright. Depends on how much rum and the quality. Naturally I'd thank them kindly and take the rum.

James: Naturally.

Lily: Fanboys, or girls, can be a little scary, but I'm sure most of them are perfectly nice. Just a little overzealous sometimes.

James: They've never tried to rip your clothes off. At least, none that I'm aware of. *glares at potential offenders*

Remus: Or begged you to throw away all common sense and go out with them?

Lily: No, I can't say that I've had the...um, pleasure.

Sirius: They're certainly an energetic bunch, fans. But nice.

Remus: Just a little too energetic sometimes.

Name: Smilie
When sign makers go on strike, is anything written on their signs?

All: ...

James: Haha, that's a good question! Unless they went on strike right after they finished making their signs, I would imagine they'd be blank. Though that wouldn't get the point across very well, now would it?

Sirius: They can still shout and stuff. Don't strikers usually chant something while they're all marching about?

Remus: Yes, but they still need signs with words on them.

Lily: I think they'd still have words on their signs, since I would imagine that they are striking about the working conditions and such. Their signs wouldn't be related to their work, and something that they would make in their own time, so why wouldn't they write things on their signs.

Name: MadMabMae
What would happen if James let his hair grow really long?

Lily: It would certainly lay flatter.

Sirius: Or he would have one groovy afro.

James: I would like to go through the rest of my life without seeing myself with an afro, thanks.

Lily: That makes two of us.

Remus: Can I make that three?

Sirius: We could always give Snape a 'fro... Something to do later, after we're done here. *grins*

James: It would be harder to take care of my hair if it was any longer. And probably messier.

Name: Hermione/Snape Shipper
This is for Sirius: Are there sleep overs in veil world? (Sorry about the mention of that place.)

Sirius: Sleepovers? Um...I don't know? I haven't gotten an invitation yet, but I'll let you know if I get one.

James: That's one of the stranger questions we've gotten. Not that any of them are all that normal, but that's a weird thing to wonder about the world beyond the veil.

Lily: Aww, I want to have a sleepover. I'll send you an invite, Sirius. But only if you promise to behave.

Sirius: ...boo, behaving is no fun. I can promise not to do anything mean to you, how about that?

Lily: ...I'll think about it? *grins*

Name: internet caffes saved my holiday
For me, some thing i wish i'd known earlier was that when things hurt it's not a good idea to do it again, not matter how cool it loked ><... what is one thing you wish you'ld known earlier?

Sirius: Since we're on the topic, that the veil was right behind me. That would have been good information to have.

Remus: I wish I'd known earlier that this bunch would find out about my being a werewolf. Would have spared me a lot of trouble.

James: Gee, I guess I wish I'd known that who was the spy before I got killed. That would have been just as useful.

Lily: Other than that, I wish I could have known a little earlier that James wasn't a total prat. I mean, he still needed to grow up, but it was hard to see the good qualities when he was shouting the bad ones from the rooftops.

James: Heh heh... *sweatdrop*

Name: Quidditch Girl
OK, I've been wondering about this sense....well, forever, but has James ever lost his glasses during a game?

James: Nope. Charms do wonders, you know. Keep my glasses on my face instead of on the pitch.

Sirius: He's only ever lost his glasses when we take them. *evil grin*

James: It's not funny when you do that, you know. I really can't see without them!

Sirius: Oh...I know. I know.... *evil laughter*

Lily: *sigh* There he goes again...

Name: White Tiger
Erm, sorry to bother ya folks but... have you seen my sanity? I know I lost it somewhere around this site but I can't seem to find it... anywhere...

Sirius: It must have run away to Las Vegas with my sanity to elope. We'll get a postcard later this month, I'm sure.

James: What sanity? You never had any sanity, Padfoot.

Sirius: Shh! White Tiger doesn't know that! I'm trying to make her feel better.

Remus: I don't think that will work.

Lily: We do tend to have visitors losing their sanity here. Sorry about that, but you know how these boys are. They'd try the patience--and sanity-- of a saint.

Name: ~SQUIGGLY~
This is a comment. Please stop calling Voldemort Voldie!!! It is not his name and it makes him sound not evil, which he is, so stop.

James: Hah! Why should we? He's evil regardless of what we call him, but if we call him something funny, it makes him less scary for others. Not being scared of him is half the battle, right there.

Sirius: Besides, calling him his 'name' would denote some respect, something of which we have none of for him.

Remus: And it's just fun to do. That's all the reason we need.

Name: Valiant
Do you believe that squirrels are secretly watching us planning to take over the world and rule for all eternity while enslaving humans? :D

Peter: Only because of their avian spies, the pigeons.

Sirius: Never liked those birds. Dirty and always trying to steal my food when I eat outside.

James: Though I hear carrier pigeons were useful...

Remus: Useful if you want to SPY on someone.

Lily: Pigeon is apparently a delicacy in some places. Of course, they farm-raise them.

Name: Kat
Its my birthday today (the 15th) and I was wondering if wizards ever have birthday parties. What do you do to celebrate?

James: What don't we do? *grins* There's cake, presents, the usual fare, plus all the wizarding trappings. Fireworks, crackers, butterbeer, anything you can think of.

Sirius: And Marauder birthdays are special events, of course. Have to try and outdo the last bash every time. Gets very interesting after a year or two. *evil grin*

Remus: *long sigh* Imagine what our birthdays were like 7th year...
