James stands in front of the camera and when it turns on, he's still angling it just right. Hey, he's starting to get a handle on Muggle technology! Anyway, when he's done, it's clear he's down in the Entrance Hall, near those mail boxes the twins put up. He runs his hand through his hair one last time and then looks right at the camera.]
Hullo there, Wonderland! James Potter here. It's come to my attention that...I'm bored. Very bored. Normally it's not wise to let me go about being bored, but I suppose I'll let it slide this time. [
And he grins that mischevious grin that's both charming and worrisome at once.]
Anyhow, I also realized that I don't really
know most of you, and that's really a shame since we're all stuck here together. And I want to change that! So, I've got a question for you all. I've been wondering about it a lot lately, and everyone's probably got a different answer.
[
He gears up, ready for a grand presentation, with a lot of hand gesturing. He can't really help it.]
So, think about when you're going to home. Pretend for a minute that you'll remember everything from here, and that you'll know the minute you get there that you've been gone for weeks, months...even years for some of you, I imagine. But you're back home, to exactly whenever you were before, and you can go do anything you want.
What's the first thing you'd do when you got there?[
He doesn't even have to think about his own answer:] I'd go propose to my future wife, of course. Immediately. Maybe we'd even go get married that second!
But enough about that - I want to hear
your answers. As incentive, I've got prizes! Good or interesting answers get treats from my world. [
He shakes a bag he's been holding the whole time.] Awful or grumpy answers get something else entirely.
[
"Something else entirely" being their names on a list of people to prank in the future. This plan is brilliant, in James' opinion.]
Well, come on now - I
know you don't have better things to do.
