Howdy! XD I'm Rwy'n-Y-Blaidd-Drwg! I've adopted this story from one Valerie Mimi (A terrific author) for those of you who read it on her accont, IT WILL NOT BE CONTINUED ON THERE! In fact, I think she is deleting it. :P Yes, the first 6 chapters will be exactly the same as the ones on her story, but then it will start with more questions!
For those new readers: Hello! Hola! Bonjour! Aloha!
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry potter. I did not write this chapter. Valerie Mimi did.

To pretty much any character who may know the answer (someone from the Ministry, I expect): are the books and movies about the Wizarding World that are so wildly popular among Muggles a breach of the Statute of Secrecy of 1692, or are they technically legal because they are being passed as fiction?
Albus Dumbledore: Well you see, a long time ago Fudge and I decided that we should perhaps make muggles aware of the secret world right before their eyes…..we did not inform any fellow wizards of course, because we knew there would most likely be an uproar. Instead we hired a Squib, Joanne Rowling to write Harry Potter's adventures. We chose Jonanne because she was such an excellent author, and told a story well. The books were published but under the guise of "fiction." Many muggles simply believe the books are stories, but there are a few now who are more aware of our world. I myself hope that one day we can co-exist peacefully together, wizards may help muggles, and muggles may help wizards.
To Harry: how and how much do you think the treatment you received at the Dursleys' influenced your behaviour in class, especially during your first year? More specifically, I expect you were confused during your first lessons; did you refrain from asking questions, since you were always encouraged not to? And what subject were you looking forward to most of all?
Harry: Well, yes I was confused. Most of it seemed impossible to learn, and once or twice I did think that they'd made a big mistake in thinking me a wizard. But I listening in class…
Hermione: And with my help!
Harry: Yes, with Hermione's help, I managed to learn. As soon as I saw my timetable I was really looking forward to Defense Against the Dark Arts.
To Hermione: has there ever, ever been, at any point in your life, a book you didn't like (apart from Slinkhard's "Defensive Magical Theory")?
Hermione: Oh yes. As much as I love to read, I have come across some horrible books in my time. Mainly ones about Dark Magic…..*shudders*
To Ron: who taught you how to play chess and at what age?
Ron: Fred and George really. When they were about eight, they had an obsession with the game. One day Fred was really sick, so he couldn't play George, so George taught me instead. I played with them ever since, and I guess I did pick up some useful skills.
To any professor who has been, for any amount of time, Head of a House: how are Heads chosen and is it strictly necessary for the candidate to have been in that House as a student?
McGonagall: The headmaster will normally choose a head of house, someone dedicated, who has been at the school for at least five years. Professor Slughorn was allowed because he taught previously. It is strictly required that the head of each house was sorted there, because they must have their students best interests at heart.
To basically anyone with enough expertise in Potions to answer: if one were to put some fur or other small part from an Animagus's animal form into Polyjuice Potion, what would they turn into, the person or some cross between themselves and the animal?
Snape: The potion would malfunction, often with horrible results.
To Madam Pomfrey: name the five weirdest cases, apart from Harry's, you've ever had to take care of.
Madam Pomfrey: Well I did see some curious things when I started out my career as a healer at St. Mungos….There was a man with an addiction to keys, One girl who thought she was an owl, a woman with boils filled wit Custard, the Headmaster's accident with the ring, and Hermione's accident with Polyjuice potion.
To Madam Hooch: name the five worst fouls you've ever seen on the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch.
Madam Hooch: Well there was one where a chaser was elbowed in the face, a beater knocked off his broom, and a broom was stolen from right under a seeker! Another chaser was also hit by both beaters at the same time and one had a charm put on her to make the broom jerk her off! I've never seen anything worse!
To Professor Binns: is your proverbial inability to remember your students' names due to the fact that you can only recall the ones from when you were still alive? If so, why has death damaged your ghost form's short-term memory? I understand that most ghosts find this a touchy subject, so you don't have to answer if you don't feel up to it.
Professor Binns: WHAT? I'M DEAD?
To any Pureblood who thinks me worthy of their royal attention and feels like answering: I understand most wizards are homeschooled before Hogwarts, so how does blood status affect your basic education (e.g.: were you taught manners? Singing? Dancing? Calligraphy? Endless lists of distant relatives to know by heart better than multiplication tables?)?
Draco: I was taught everything I needed to by my father, I learnt my family tree off by heart, and how to fight and play quidditch.
To every Muggleborn past and present: raise your hands if you thought the Hogwarts letter was an elaborate joke.
Hermione: Definitely! I couldn't believe it!
Muggleborns: *all raise hands*
To every known house elf: why exactly do you seem to struggle with proper grammar? I know for a fact you're smarter than you look, so are you somehow unable to learn it or is it because you've never been taught? *whispers* I swear, if they're keeping them ignorant on purpose I'll go there with chalk and a little blackboard and teach them myself... must... contact... Hermione...
Dobby: Dobby is not knowing exactly what you are meaning, miss. Dobby does not really understand Grammar, miss. Dobby is sorry.
To Molly, but just because she's the one with the most experience: what are wizarding pregnancies like? Are your powers temporarily affected by the foetus, and if so, how? Is the gender a surprise or is there a magical equivalent of ultrasound to find out in advance?
Molly: Oh no, our powers aren't influenced, but sometimes it can be rather painful. And the gender is usually a surprise, but there has been a recent potion developed by Gilderoy Lockheart! Oh Gilderoy!
A/N: Hope you liked it! Please submit more questions, feel free to ask as many as you'd like! If there's anything you think could be improved please also let me know! :)
[Edit: Please keep the questions T rated. There were some form one "Bilbo Baggins" Which would've made this story rating go into M.]
