Name: I'm Crazy
What's your favorite holiday according to the food served? Mine's St. Patrick's. I love corned beef.
James: Halloween usually has some great stuff, though the candy is the best part, of course.
Remus: I also go with Halloween. Chocolate!
Sirius: Christmas! Because of the PUDDING!
Peter: Birthday cake is always good. Except when certain parties thinks jumping out of one will 'liven up the party.'
Sirius: It did! I mean, how can my cake-covered self *not* liven up a party? *evil grin*
Name: Lilithe Philaeneus
So Peter, how do you like your shiny silver hand of uber-shiny-ness?
Peter: It...well, it's cold much of the time, but that's probably due to the total lack of circulation in the limb.
Sirius: Wow...that was a rather detailed answer.
Peter: *shrugs* I can be detailed if I want to.
James: It is rather shiny. Can you use it as a makeshift mirror?
Peter: Have you seen future me? I don't think I've seen a mirror in years...
Sirius: Ah yes, the future is bright for us young strapping lads. Imprisonment, death and bad hygiene...
Remus: And poverty. Let's not forget that aspect.
Name: Clairelyse
True or false, if you went to a public muggle high school, your senior prank would be totally awesome?
James: As we can't use magic outside of Hogwarts without getting a notice from the Improper Use of Magic blokes, it would have to be a magic-free senior prank.
Remus: Thank goodness for the rest of us.
Sirius: Well, actually, most people are 17 by the time they're seniors, so that might not be so much of a problem. So I say true.
James: You have a point there. Besides, brewing potions doesn't really require any sort of magic. Just the ability to follow directions.
Peter: Then Padfoot better not be doing the potion making.
Sirius: I like to adlib.
James: Yeah, adlib us right into the hospital wing...
Remus: *long sigh*
Name: Neni-chan
So...how do you guys like having your own website? My dad has one, and he says it's pretty cool, but you all get fanfics and stories and stuff. How's that going for you?
Sirius: It's fun. We get to run amok and spread our particular brand of mischief across the vastness of the internet. *evil evil grin*
James: Work, but it's fun.
Remus: It's a lot of fun. But the fangirls can get scary.
Peter: It's nice to see some people don't mind me too much. Aside from you guys, of course.
Name: Tomoko
Sirius, which is your favourite cartoon/anime/film dog? [e.g. Pluto, Tadakichi-san, Beethoven...]
Sirius: I can't say I have one? Other than me! I love me!
James: ...
Sirius: What?
James: That was so completely predictable an answer for you...
Sirius: Meh, I felt like phoning that one in...
Peter: Poor Pluto. He's not named after a planet anymore.
James: And the scorpios of the world began plotting the demise of whoever suggested this whole mess...
Robyn: Yarr! Don't mess with our ruling planet!
Angie: Actually, Robyn, your birthday is during the astrological cusp of Scorpio and Sagittarius. So you sorta have both signs.
Robyn: Wow, I guess I'm just cool like that. *grins*
Name: Kate
Acording to the June 24 2006 addition of ATM "Q" asked "What is the internet for?" and Sirius was about to say something from the play Avenue Q that would answer that question in a rather sick way. Now my question is do you really believe that is what the internet is for, Sirius and James?
James: Well...
Lily: *raises an eyebrow*
James: *coughs* ...of course not. We're upstanding gentlemen, you know.
Sirius: Upstanding, whipped gentlemen, but gentlement nonetheless. *grins*
James: *sigh*
Remus: We're all just normal guys. Of course we do.
Name: Steyr
Do you ever look at fan art people draw of you? If so, do you like what you see or do you wish some people would take an art class 'cause a stick figure collection of you doesn't cut it?
James: We've seen some of the art, yeah. It's not all that bad, really. I mean, some is a littel scary, but that's just like some fanfiction. You just have to be careful where you're looking.
Sirius: Don't knock stick figures! That's all I can draw, and they're spectacular!
Remus: At least they try.
Peter: It's a mix, really. There's some really good work, and then there's some stuff that looks like I probably drew it. But at least they're brave enough to show it to the world. That's more than I would ever do...
Name: Bookworm Granger
This is for Sirius. As Padfoot have you ever chased Professor McGonagall when she was in her animagus form?
Sirius: Hell. NO. She would have hexed me six ways past Sunday!
Remus: Only six?
James: Not to mention the fact that she would have found out that you had illegally become an animagus.
Sirius: That too. But it's not like I haven't entertained the idea.
Name: meppst
Why do banks chain the pens to the tables, but leave the doors wide open?
Peter: They don't want the pens to get away.
James: ....naturally.
Sirius: *nods* Of course. Why do you think they bolt things down in fast food restaurants? The food's so fast, they're afraid the furniture will follow it out the door.
James: .... *sigh*
Remus: Maybe because people love stealing pens? If pens are chained down, it's a lot harder to steal them.
Name: Jessie
What do you guys think Old Voldie's girlfriend (if he had one) would look like? I think that she will be this hot babe with white skin, turned up nose, red eyes, and red hair. (sorry Lily)
Lily: No offense taken, Jessie.
James: I have two words for you. Michael. Jackson.
Remus: Bad image, Prongs.
Sirius: He's a bloke, though. Not exactly 'girlfriend' material.
James: Have you *seen* Voldie lately? I don't think he can be picky anymore. Besides, they share an absurd fixation on young boys...
All: *shudder*
