Thanks to those who reviewed the last chapter!

LadyKnightSusan, RhiannonVega, Messrs Padfoot and Prongs, rebornandrenewed, sirius-severus-lover, Sweet Sadie, Mood-chan, IceSnowAndGlamour, LupinLycanLover and Rider Arya Svit-kona (I promise your questions will be coming up, I already messaged you about that though). You guys are awesome!

Okay, I got loads of questions for this chapter (particularly due to the fact that certain reviewers sent me multiple ones) but I'm certainly not complaining! Don't despair if your question/s don't appear in this one, I couldn't possibly fit them all in, but I promise your question (or if there were multiple questions, at least some of them) will appear in the next couple of chapters! And feel free to send more, I had no idea people would send so many! Some questions were very similar, which I realised after I had answered some, so that may be why some questions don't appear, cos I'd be repeating myself.

If you're reading this story for the first time, please review, I'd love to know what you think, I'm obsessed with the Marauders and it'd be great to hear some feedback. If you have a story you want me to review as well, I'll gladly do a swap!

Thanks to Mr. Prongs and sirius-severus-lover for pointing out the fact that when I uploaded the document some of the questions didn't appear. How embarrassing, it seems like I don't edit my work properly! I swear I did, the computer must've stuffed up! Anyway I fixed it thank goodness! If anything like that happens again please tell me!

To Peter: You are adorable. Can I hug you? (rebornandrenewed)
Since when was Peter adorable?

Well, someone obviously thinks I am.

Yeah, I think it's sweet. We should organise a date for you guys or something. What do you reckon, Peter?

Well, I don't know…I don't think I've met her before. But I suppose she likes me, so…

Yeah, go son! Take the chance while you can! (Heaven knows it may never come round again, if this person isn't having you on, of course)

Potter! I am sure this girl would not tell Peter he is adorable if she didn't think so. That would just be horrible.

Well, she could be a horrible girl.

I highly doubt it, Black. Besides, she's sent us lots of great questions! I'm seriously into this, Peter, give me a time and place and we'll pass it on to her.

Well, I've always wanted to go to Madame Pudifoot's in Hogsmeade…I've never been there before.

Yeah you have! You went there with me and Padfoot in fifth year.

Yeah, but you guys both had dates. I just…sat on a table by myself.

How could you guys do that to him?! That's horrible! That's it, I'm organising this date of Peter's if it's the last thing I do. Why he hangs around with you guys is unknown to me, you must be the worst friends ever.

We asked him to bring someone!

He just…didn't.

You should've found him one, then.

I tried, Evans! Honestly! But they all seemed to prefer me for some odd, strange, unknown, unfathomable reason.

Wow Black, never knew you had such a wide vocabulary. Anyway, rebornandrenewed, looks like you and Peter have a date to finalize. I'll leave you to arrange it…

You know, I've never been hugged by a girl before…

Haha, you've certainly made Peter happy. You should see him now, red as a tomato with this massive ridiculous grin on his face…

(A/N: Sorry, rebornandrenewed, I just…felt it was necessary. You can virtually kill me if you want to. Although, by asking that question I feel as though you asked for it :p)

Hey, maybe this'll start a whole stream of questions from girls asking if they can hug me! Or hopefully do more than that...

We'll hope not. Remus, you've been a little quiet, is everything ok?

Hmm, maybe he's switched bodies with Peter?

Remus, when I have study groups with my friends they ALWAYS mess around. What do you suggest to do seeing as you have to deal with Sirius and James? (Mood-chan)
What does she mean 'deal' with Sirius and James?

Do you think we're too distracting for you, Moony? If so, we can withdraw our friendship.

Oh, that won't be necessary. Well, Mood-chan, I think that the answer would be to study independently. You obviously want to do well, and if your friends couldn't care less they're only going to distract you. So, as much as it may be hard for you, try not to get into group study situations. Go to the library and try and go through things yourself, or get some one-on-one tutoring (and NO, Padfoot, not the sort you're thinking of). I feel that's possibly your only option. Or you could possibly hint to them that they're being distracting, although I know from experience that if I attempt to do so with these gits they just get worse.

Yeah, I've been meaning to ask how you do so well with those two around you all the time.

Well, I'm sure they'd do well too, if they put more effort in.

But we do. In fact, Evans, I think you'll find I am currently beating you in Transfiguration. James too, I believe.

What? No way! How is that even possible?

Don't believe it? I can show you my last assignment, Miss Evans. An 'O'.

The animagi one? As if you guys know anything about that!

Apparently, we do.

Embarrassed?

Surprised…

It's true, they do well at everything.

If Wormtail says it, well, it must be true!

From your personal experiences, which classes are the easiest to take and pass? (LupinLycanLover)
Is this directed to all of us?

Yes.

Hmm. Well, obviously, transfiguration.

Yeah, we all do well in that.

Even Wormtail.

It's true.

Really? What did you get on the last assignment, Peter?

An O! My first ever!

Oh GOD! You must've all beaten me! Unless Remus failed or something, which I highly doubt.

Yeah, sorry Lily, but Transfiguration is my best subject too…

Great. Well, I find Charms easy. I really like it.

Astronomy's really hard. I can never understand it.

Yeah, Pads and I just pretend to when we take girls up the astronomy tower.

Well of course, you can just blabber on, and be like 'yeah that's the Giant Squid' or something.

There is so not a constellation called the Giant Squid.

There could be.

I guess it's kind of like Divination, then. I just made stuff up for that.

Lily Evans?! And I thought you did exceptionally well in Divination!

Well, I did. It's not like it's hard.

I saw something once. I told Trelawney I saw an incredibly handsome man with windswept dark hair and a perfect smile in the crystal ball.

Incredibly handsome huh?

Mm, I couldn't for the life of me figure out where I conjured up that vision!

You really need an ego deflation, Black.

Oh, nonsense. It's better to have great self-esteem than none at all.

I think somewhere in the middle is best.

So, did you pass Divination?

Just.

Say there's a really boring subject you hate, but you need a passing grade. How do you keep awake and alert in class? (Sweet Sadie)
Alert and awake? In class?

A contradiction in terms!

Of course, if there's a fine young women sitting in front of me, I'm as wide awake can be. I don't know, I guess…sometimes, admittedly, I pay attention.

Since when?

Well, when it's leading up to exam time, I generally just try and listen a little more than usual. It makes sense, doesn't it?

But if you've slacked off the entire year, then how do you suddenly pull through for exams?

Well, I do pay attention sometimes. I mean, in between pranking the teachers, checking out the lovely ladies and exchanging notes with my fellow Marauders, I happen to catch a few useful phrases. I mean, come on, most of the time all you need to know is a spell and the hand gesture.

So true.

So, I'd say that you should stay alert when the teacher's trying to explain what do to, although admittedly that can sometimes take heaps of time, but once you've got that, you're fine. Well, hopefully.

What do you do in something like History of Magic, then? Where you actually need to know dates and stuff?

Oh, well…COME ON, MOONY! Whoever can actually pay attention in Binns' class would have to be a zombie.

True.

Mm even I have trouble staying awake.

Lily, there's this boy that always pesters me when I'm trying to do schoolwork and I can't possibly concentrate. What should I do? P.S. Give Jamsie a chance! Pwease? –puppy dog pout - (Mood-chan)
Oh boy.

I like this girl!

Oh good. Maybe you'll consider going out with her instead?

Nup, sorry. Still head over heels in love with you.

Oh, I could melt, if I felt anything but pure disgust for you, Potter. Anyway, in answer to the first part of the question, I find hexing works wonders. Although anything is pretty much temporary, if he's as annoying as Potter. There's a convenient little spell I like to do that helps you block out noise. If you're a Muggle, of course, things are a little harder. You could always try the usual death threats, physical violence, evil glares, telling the teacher he's a little prick…

I reckon that you should just give in to whatever it is he's annoying you about. I mean, wouldn't that make him go away?

Ok, sure, if he's annoying you about doing his homework or something. NOT if he is trying to get you to go out with him! And, in answer to the second part of the question…WHY ON EARTH WOULD I DO THAT?!

Oh come on Lily, he's not that bad. Have you ever considered that if you actually said yes he'd stop annoying you?

I am assigned to sit next to the most annoying guy in the universe. What do I say when he annoys me? (IceSnowAndGlamour)
I personally would tell him to f—

No need to use language Evans. And anyway, that's why people annoy you. Because you react like that.

What?! How am I supposed to react? "Oh, Potter, I really do love it when you send parchment aeroplanes zooming into the back of my head."

No, you could say "James Potter, I would simply love to go out with you!"

Sirius is actually right, you know. Ignoring them would be better, Lily. Really.

Well, I've tried that and it hasn't worked. Why should it for anyone else? IceSnowAndGlamour, I'm sorry but you have absolutely no hope in hell. If this guy is as annoying as you make out.

You know, Evans, you didn't properly answer the last part of Mood-chan's question…

Potter, you know I'll never give you a chance.

Please, call me 'Jamsie.'

POTTER, giving you a chance would entail utter humiliation. You would parade around the school like the pompous arse you are, completely embarrass me, then dump me the next day like everyone else.

What?! I would not! You aren't like those other girls! I swear, I know I act like a pompous arse but it's only to get your attention!

To Lily: I have a crush on three guys at school. All of them seem not to be interested in me, and one has a GF, one has a hot close friend whom he dated for a bit, and the other simply thinks of me as his token 'the weird kid' friend. Question is, who do you think I should pursue? (rebornandrenewed – good question!)
Oh come on, as if Lily has any idea about this sort of thing. Let me answer!

Black, the question was not directed at you!

Fine. You answer, then I'll give my better opinion.

Alright, you can give your opinion. But I doubt it will be better.

Have you ever even been in this situation?

Well no, it's hardly a 'typical' one. And I've never liked three guys at once. But I am a girl, and I know what I'd do.

Which is?

Okay well, the one with the girlfriend is out of the picture. No matter how much you like this guy, you have better options that don't involve you being 'the other woman'. The guy who thinks of you as 'the weird kid' is probably better off as a friend, he most definitely wouldn't think of you in 'that' way. So I'm thinking option two is your best bet. Ignore the hot close friend. He's not dating her anymore, is he? And if, for some reason, you have this jealousy complex and that gets in the way…you have two other options still remaining. The first guy might break up with his GF, and the third guy might change his opinion of you. The fact that there are three guys in the first place makes it easier! Well, harder if you look at it that way, but easier in that if one option doesn't work out you can try again.

Oh well that's all very well and good, but you know I like to keep my options open. I say pursue all three!

Ah, Padfoot, I'm not sure that's the best idea. Especially if you want it to actually work…

Well, let's just say you're in my position. Or like, the female version of me. Evans, I can see you attempting to throw up, I happen to believe I would make an incredibly attractive female. Option A is fine, because the likelihood is you're hotter than the GF anyway. Option B, also fine, because, once again, you'd be hotter than the 'hot' close friend. And Option C, well, if you were the female version of me you wouldn't be seen as 'the weird kid' anyway.

I'm agreeing with Lily here.

Yeah Padfoot, I don't really think that would work somehow…one of the others would find out.

Since when has Padfoot cared about that anyway?

Have you ever swung the other way? It's just that with your open sexuality it's hard to imagine otherwise. (rebornandrenewed)
I heard about one time you woke up in the same bed as Remus. Is that true?

Yeah, he did actually. But it wasn't what you think. I'd been asleep, and he'd come upstairs drunk and collapsed onto my bed. Which was rather a shock the next morning, I must admit.

Oh come on Moony, there's no need to cover up. If we're going to come out of the closet we may as well do it now!

Padfoot isn't gay, there is absolutely no way. He just likes to joke around.

Well, I like to think that I'm so damn attractive that members of the same sex find me as gorgeous as members of the opposite sex. Peter thinks so, don't you?

Uh…

He does. And I'm not homosexual, by the way. But Moony is.

I am NOT homosexual, Padfoot.

Oh I've seen you checking me out in my boxers plenty of times!

Uh, no, Pads, I was probably just checking out the fact that they were PINK. I swear, how many pairs of pink boxers do you own? Unless you wear the one pair all the time…

I hate to say it, Pads, but wearing pink boxers kinda does seem a bit…well…gay.

I am not gay. Everyone seems to think so! Even some girls! I had this one chick say to me, before I was about to…you know… "Sirius it's ok if you've never done this with a girl before, I'm so glad I'm your first." I was like what the hell?!

Ahaha! That's hilarious, you've got to be kidding me!

Shut up, Prongs. How do you think this is going to affect my reputation?

Moving right along. How much time do we have before you guys have Quidditch practice?

Hmm, 'bout half an hour?

Maybe we can fit a couple more questions in then?

I think my professor has it out for me, seriously. He assigns me detentions for doing things that are other people's faults (somehow it is always my fault) and is just an arse to me in general. What should I do? (RhiannonVega)
I get that all the time, actually. I always get blamed for things that Padfoot and Prongs get up to. It's not really fair, they assume that just because I'm a Marauder I'm in on everything.

I can imagine that sucks for you, Peter. Actually, it was rather hilarious when Marsha Wong decided to hex Malfoy because he'd looked up her skirt, and Professor McGonagall sent you all to detention with Filch for a week.

Ah yes, well do I remember. What I think you should do is simply hex him some more. He's obviously not going to let up.

Potter! That is just going to get them into more trouble!

Oh come on, he obviously deserves it.

Stupid git. What the hell are you supposed to do if you're a muggle, though?

You can still get back at him in other ways, I suppose. Like sticking gum on his chair or something.

Remus! Don't tell me you agree with them!

Well Lily, there's not much you can do when a teacher hates you. I'm sure you probably don't know what that feels like, do you?

Uh, not really, no.

Mm, well…I'd definitely say more pranking, preferably of the incredibly annoying variety, is the only possible option.

Since when has a teacher hated you? And why would they?

Oh…uh, I don't know. Because I'm…different?

What?

If you could do any teacher at Hogwarts, who would it be and why? (LupinLycanLover)
Dumbledore!! He's a champ!

So, you'd do Dumbledore, Padfoot?

What, no! Crap! I take that back! I thought it was 'if you could BE...any teacher...at Hogwarts...'

Too late, Pads. Your sexuality is clear to us now. Along with your apparent fetish for men with long grey beards.

Oh god.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'd BE Dumbledore too, if I could. Although if I could do a teacher, I'd have to say…that new one that transferred from Beuxbatons a few weeks ago…the Care of Magical Creatures teacher?

Oh boy, she's certainly a 'magical creature'. I wish I did COMC now, I really do.

Me too.

All three: sigh

Peter? How about you?

Umm yeah, her too, I guess. She looks…nice.

Nice is an understatement!

Oh she isn't that great.

Yeah she is. She's got long flowing silvery hair and these sexy deep blue eyes and her voice…oh man.

You're just jealous, Evans.

Jealous of some half-Veela who can't even speak English?

I think you are.

I am NOT, Potter.

Alright, who would you do?

I don't think about having sex with teachers! Although, come to think of it…Professor whatshisface isn't half bad.

Professor who?

Oh you know…the one with the non-pronounceable name? The Scottish one, who –

Oh I know the one. Yeah, I'd do him.

Uh…

I'm kidding!

I wouldn't! I'm just saying he's…nice looking.

You total slut, you have a crush on him! You luuuuurve him, you wanna have like ten thousand of his babies! (A/N: Anyone seen American Beauty? Mena Suvari with that line is hilarious! I changed it slightly to fit with this.)

Do not.

Do too.

Yeah, she does. Anyway Quidditch practice starts in five, so we better wrap it up here. But first we'll give you a little taste of what's coming up next segment…

Yep. Ever wondered how you should deal with that annoying kid who throws paper balls at you?

Uh, no.

That's because you're the one doing the throwing. Well, that'll be coming up. As well as more on how to survive school, deal with family feuds, get out of detention and homework, stay awake in Binns' class (we'll do our best with that one), oh, and how could we forget the Lily/James dilemma? That also shall continue next chapter. A certain reviewer has asked Lily to give James a chance…

Which I will NOT be doing.

We'll see.

Remus, you should've really be advertising that, because NOTHING will be happening with me and James.

I sense an argument coming on. Time to wrap it up right there, I think. Well, have fun with our advice, if it's not good enough let us know and we'll try and wrack our brains some more to give you something decent!

Have you guys ever thought about doing McGonagall?

…

What?!

Criticism is much appreciated along the lines of:

Characterisation (I'm always obsessed about getting them right)

Peter (I always have problems with writing him, cos he doesn't seem to have any personality)

Any suggestions, pointing out of grammatical errors etc, although I hope there are none or few of those.

And of course, nice reviews are always appreciated: )
