HOORAY!! Not only did I get the 1000th post in the last thread, I get the first post in this pretty, shiny new thread! I guess that means I deserve two cookies now? I have a fresh glass of milk waiting seeing as how the other one spoiled while waiting for my first cookie. *still licking lips in anticipation*

Okay, seeing as how only a couple of people have had a chance to answer my last question, I'll repost it here to give others a chance to answer if they are interested.

Okay, I have another question. I'm pretty sure that Peter didn't come out of the Stone when Harry was walking to his "death". He was the only Marauder that wasn't present in that scene. However, do you think that Peter is with them in the afterlife seeing as how he showed that bit of mercy to Harry which led to his own "suicide", or do you think that one act wasn't enough to erase his many other mistakes, with the inclusion of turning his friends over to LV, and he is somewhat sharing LV's fate?

Whoot! Third one to post in new thread!!

First of all, I agree with all of you. But I'd also like to point out that Harry brought back the souls of the people that were important to him. He brought back his father, his mother, and the other two adults who had taught him important things and been there for him during his life - Lupin and Sirius. He didn't hold Peter in any kind of respect and didn't regard him as anything but the man who had selfishly sold his parents to Voldemort in order to stay alive. Harry's experiences with Peter had all been bad - I think he was, technically, the one who killed Cedric, he ran away and let Sirius be wrongly accused and sent to Azkaban. Peter also ran away after their encounter in PoA, when Harry had been so eager and happy of the thought of being able to go live with Sirius - Peter ran away and Sirius had to be on the run.

While Peter did let up his attack on Harry in DH, when he realized what he was doing, he tried to choke him again...I don't think Harry sees Peter as anything but selfish. Now, Peter was not the incarnation of evil, no, but he was a coward. In the end, Harry found his cowerdice disgusting; as I'm sure many of us did.

do you think that Peter is with them in the afterlife seeing as how he showed that bit of mercy to Harry which led to his own "suicide", or do you think that one act wasn't enough to erase his many other mistakes, with the inclusion of turning his friends over to LV, and he is somewhat sharing LV's fate?
I agree with Greeneyes here. I don't think that he appeared before Harry with the other Marauders because only those he truly cared about appeared. Tonks wasn't even there and I'm sure, if anything, she would have been there before Peter. Showing a little bit of mercy wasn't enough to erase his past misdeeds.

About him being in the afterlife with them, well, I'm not so sure about that. I guess it kind of depends on how you view the whole afterlife concept, isn't it? I mean, by now means do I think Peter is as bad as Voldemort...as you all put it, he was just a coward. He never really gave himself the chance to decide anything for himself, he merely listened to those who were more powerful out of fear of his fate if he opposed them. Then when he finally decided for himself he died because of it, which has to mean a little, itsy bitsy bit od redemption. Personally I don't think that he ended up in the same place as his friends, but I also don't believe he ended up with the same fate as Voldemort and that's as far as I'm going to go because this subject could get rather touchy.

Like, HP_RULES! said, it depends which afterlife you think of. To me, I think he would suffer somewhat the same fate as LV. Like the afterlife of either heaven or the other hotter one, the marauders would go up, to heaven and peter would go down with LV into the other place where bad people go. That sounded a bit funny.

Yay!!!new shiny thread.!

*ahem* I do believe that Pix got the first post!

Geez, have to get technical and ruin my moment of glory! That's okay. I gave myself a cookie! Mmmm...... Yummy!!

But I do agree with you. As I said in the last thread before it closed up,

I don't think Peter would be with his friends in the afterlife they are sharing, but I also don't think he will be sharing the same fate as LV. He will probably have his own fate. Of course I believe in the whole Heaven and "other place" and all, but I also think there are different levels of the "other place". I would think that Peter would be in the more mild section probably left alone to contemplate his mistakes in life and suffer with them for an eternity while LV would have that miserable existance we saw at King's Cross which could also be one of the deeper levels of the "other place". I guess it just all depends on how you look at it.

Okay, maybe we do need a new question. This previous question might take us into sticky waters.

What do you imagine the Marauders did during their monthly nighttime strolls?

If a werewolf is uncontrollable, how do you think the other Marauders were able to control Lupin in their transformed selves?

That's all I can think of for now. It's so much harder coming up with questions now that DH is out given the outcome of it.

[Cobra]

If a werewolf is uncontrollable, how do you think the other Marauders were able to control Lupin in their transformed selves?
Well, I don't think they controlled him. More of just made sure he didn't injure himself too much or anybody else. they probably sort of wrestled him down a bit. Made sure he didn't run away and stuff liek that.

[Finn Chow]

What do you imagine the Marauders did during their monthly nighttime strolls?

My friends and I have all came to the conclusion that the Marauders would just follow Remus around to make sure he never ventured into town or too closely to the school and would use themselves (at least Sirius and James) to distract Remus whenever he did wonder to close.

If a werewolf is uncontrollable, how do you think the other Marauders were able to control Lupin in their transformed selves?

I don't believe they were really ever able to control Remus in wolf mode... all they were able to do is watch after Remus and, as I mentioned a moment ago, distract him from venturing too close to other people.

[padfootx3]

If a werewolf is uncontrollable, how do you think the other Marauders were able to control Lupin in their transformed selves?
Well, in the third movie (i'm sorry i don't like to refer to the movies but this was how i made my opinion) remember when Lupin turned into the werewolf. Well, in the book it just said Sirius ran off, but in the movie, we see Sirius in dog-form trying to control him in from of Harry, Ron, and Hermione. So, I think that when children and adults were around they had to use force to control him, but when they were all together in their animal forms they could just stroll freely together, like animals do. I think that they might have had to protect wormtail from getting attacked by Lupin. Do you?

Well, onto the next question...

What do you imagine the Marauders did during their monthly nighttime strolls?
Well, I always imagined that they went around Hogsmeade. That's just what I've always thougth. Probably because they knew Hogmeade well enough to incorporate it into the Marauder's Map. I also think they were exploring places where they normally couldn't go. Maybe the Forbidden Forest? Or trying to find more secret passages? Ooh! Ooh! Get this.. ready? Okay, maybe they made one or two or the passages!! That would be too cool!!!

Alright, here's a question before i forget it....

What do you think the marauder's were doing when Filch found their map?

[Finn Chow]

What do you think the marauder's were doing when Filch found their map?

Alright I know this will sound stupid, but the first thought I had after reading this question was 'What if they gave Filch the map?'. I mean if they were all seventh years about to graduate they wouldn't have further use of the map and perhaps let Filch catch them with it purposely... I'm sure they knew their children would one day attend Hogwarts and figured that their children (at least Sirius' and James') would turn out to be just like them in a sense then assumed that said children would come to poses the map for themselves. Sort of a way to continue their pranks after they left Hogwarts...
But on the more serious side of the conversation, I can see Lily (being more like Hermione) finding out about the map and turning them in...

[Cobra]

What do you think the marauder's were doing when Filch found their map?
Well,

What if they gave Filch the map?'

I think it said that they did that somewhere. I am not sure which book, but I remember that. Or maybe it was a fanfic. But taht would make sense. They wanted other troublemakers like Fred and George to find it. So they gave it to filch because they knew that a true prankster would always get the confiscated stuff that filch has.

[HP_RULES!]

What do you imagine the Marauders did during their monthly nighttime strolls?
I'm with padfoot here! I'm sure that they ventured around Hogsmeade and the school grounds discovering what they could. Ah, what a time they must have had!

If a werewolf is uncontrollable, how do you think the other Marauders were able to control Lupin in their transformed selves?
Cobra got this one (I am just too slow )! I don't think they needed to control him...or could for that matter. They were just there to keep him in check in case something went wrong.

My friends and I have all came to the conclusion that the Marauders would just follow Remus around to make sure he never ventured into town or too closely to the school and would use themselves (at least Sirius and James) to distract Remus whenever he did wonder to close.

I bet they went around town, just for a bit of excitement! Well, they did say themselves they had some pretty close calls and if they ventured around in the middle of the night no one would be out so everyone was safe for the most part.

I think that they might have had to protect wormtail from getting attacked by Lupin.

I don't know, I doubt werewolves attack rats...maybe they protected him from getting stepped on!

What do you think the marauder's were doing when Filch found their map?
At first I thought you guys were crazy for thinking they left the map at Hogwarts on purpose, but now I'm thinking it is a definite possibility! I mean, Filch could have taken it from them like Snape did from Harry just because it was them and it looked a little suspicious...but maybe not. When I was first thinking along the lines that they wouldn't leave it at Hogwarts it was because I thought they might want to leave it to their kids, but then I figured it wouldn't be fair. They probably all assumed they would get married and have kids and there would be no way to decide whose kids would get the map...and the map couldn't very well remain in their possession and be forgotten.

I think it said that they did that somewhere. I am not sure which book, but I remember that. Or maybe it was a fanfic. But taht would make sense. They wanted other troublemakers like Fred and George to find it. So they gave it to filch because they knew that a true prankster would always get the confiscated stuff that filch has.

It wasn't in the books, but I think it's safe to assume that if in fact they did leave it there then leaving it with Filch would work out nicely. It would take someone worthy of using the map to nick it and figure out what it did. Sheer brillance!

Geez, have to get technical and ruin my moment of glory! dry.gif laugh.gif That's okay. I gave myself a cookie! tongue.gif Mmmm...... Yummy!!

Hehehe, just teasing! You deserve your cookies, what with being our hat keeper and all...though you are clearly not the best salesperson...

You are absolutely right about that! I am the worst salesperson there is. I couldn't sell a glass of ice water to a dieing man in the desert! If I tried doing it for a living, I'd go broke. I'm more of a "behind the scenes" kind of person. Oh well...

What do you think the marauder's were doing when Filch found their map?

I have to agree with the majority on this. At first, I thought the idea was crazy, leaving it for Filch on purpose. But when I really thought about it, the idea is genius. I can't see Filch being able to outsmart them. Unless, of course, Peter was in possession of the map and he is the reason for its confiscation. Anyways, seeing as how they were the biggest troublemakers at the time, they would want it to pass to the next troublemakers of Hogwarts worthy enough of being able to get it. So they could have purposely let themselves get caught with the Map. I'm sure Filch didn't know what it was and couldn't get it to work anyways seeing as how he is a squib. It would be like a right of passage for the upcoming troublemakes to pass in order to gain such a worthy prize. I can see the Marauders thinking that way. Good call Finn Chow.

[padfootx3]

I don't know, I doubt werewolves attack rats...maybe they protected him from getting stepped on!

lol! Sorry, i just thought that that should be recognized. Go ahead and take a cookie from littlered ~ just teasing

Anyway. When I first heard you all thought that they gave Filch the map, i thought it was totally far-fetched. But then I thought about it and it made more and more sense! But i think that they did it a mischievious way. I don't think they just wanted him to see them using it. I think that they probably set up this whole crazy awesome scheme, just as a good bye! Like 'Doing a Weasley'!!

What do you think the marauder's were doing when Filch found their map?

Two thories...

Well, at first, it was kind of odd to think that they'd simply hand over thier precious map, but it makes sense they left it as a tool for the next worthy pranksters to enter Hogwarts. I agree with padfoot here. Filch must have been on their case for years, and wondering how they managed to know about so many secret passages and how they could pinpoint where everyone was. After an elaborate stunt as a graduation present to Filch, they 'dropped' it somewhere they knew he would find and take it. And he did - and it sat confiscated on Filch's desk for years, until the Weasly twins, rightful heirs to the map, found it.

Or...in the midst of a late-night wandering episode, they split up and gave the map to Peter, who was caught by Filch and had it confiscated. To give Peter some credit, he managed to 'hide' the fact that it was a map from Flich and they were let off the hook. The map stayed with Flich, who tried to figure out its value, but because he's a Squib, failed.
