Character prompt: Try to think of as many possible responses a character could have to any given question. E.g. Lily Evans: “Are you having sex with James?”

• “Define ‘sex.’ And also… define ‘James.’”

• “Obviously not. He’s not even in this room.”

• “Not until next Tuesday. Why?” 
• “Yes, but I’ve got a family emergency. Do you know if anyone can cover my shift?” 
• “I’m doing my Charms homework, but if he wants to try it, he’s welcome.”
• “Metaphorically?”
• “Knickers are still in place, so probably not.”
• “Is he offering?” 
• “I try to at least once a week, but you know how hard it is to stay on top of these things.” 
• “If I know the answer, do I win a prize?” 
• “Well, it’d be pretty impolite to do it while I was talking to someone else.”
• “In a way, aren’t we all having sex with James?”
• “Only for recreation, but with practice I hope to do it professionally.”
• “Why, is there a queue?” 
• “Pass.” “On the sex or answering?” “Pass.”

“In a way, aren’t we all having sex with James ?”
