What do you think of Molly and Hermione’s views or whatever you’d call it of Sirius during The Order of the Phoenix?
This is going to very critical of BOTH Molly and Hermione. Don't come at me if you don't like it, but feel free to politely discuss.
I am not a fan and think they're both being rather shitty and entitled for a number of reasons, different on both sides.
For Molly, while I understand how she spent however many years thinking of Sirius as a mass-murderer that lead to his BFFs demise (and we truthfully don't know how many years because at one point, it's stated that most people didn't know about his part in what happened to the Potters - but it came from Fudge and he's stupid, so...), we also know that she was told that Sirius was *innocent* of *everything*.
And I would be totally okay with her having issues wrapping her mind around it, EXCEPT she has *no issues* accepting Dumbledore's words when it comes to Snape despite his outward terrible recent behavior towards the kids, order members, and others, so it makes it *terribly shitty* to insist on treating *Snape, the active DE (even if he's a 'spy')* with respect because 'Dumbledore said he's on our side now' when he's acted like a shithead to the kids *for years* and continues to do so, but NOT TREAT THE INNOCENT MAN WHO HAS HELPED THE KIDS with things and who lost YEARS of his life to prison with the same decency and respect is shitty as hell.
And then, to make matters worse, she's only known Sirius for about a month (probably less) when she's living in HIS HOUSE - where he's PROTECTING HER ENTIRE FAMILY, and she's tearing him apart because he was at least emotionally abused (the Portrait of his mother is ENOUGH for her to know that he would struggle in that house) despite his efforts to support Harry and the Order and her family in this hot mess they find themselves in.
Despite knowing that he has very valid reasons for struggling - she talks down to him and about him, in front of him and his godson, undermining him when he was the ONLY ADULT to help Harry through the tasks, even though she was better equipped to help him and *didn't*.
With all of this in mind, I think it's shitty and entitled that she treats him and speaks about him the way she does. She never got to know him, she knows very little aside from a reputation that she knows is *false* and it's shitty as hell to judge him and not even TRY to make things easier on him. She's an adult that should be able to have some *fucking* compassion and just *doesn't* and it's shitty.
Fuck that was an essay. I have thoughts. And it's not even got references like my POA post.
Now onto Hermione:
So, Hermione was *there* the night that Harry met Sirius. She knows multiple things about him prior to OOTP, things like:
He offered Harry a home
He is fucking innocent of everything - proof with Her Own Damn Eyes that everything she knew was a lie and he's truly a good dude
He went to check on Harry and was watching out for him all of third year
Crookshanks Trusted him and So does Buckbeak (aka animals' good judgement of character)
He immediately reached out to Harry with the letter assuring him multiple things - like the fact that he gave the broom, that he watched out for him, that he wanted to protect Harry by getting himself seen so the Dementors would go away, and that he knows what's best for Harry ... giving him the Hogsmeade Slip, and a way to deal with the Dursleys (the threat of him was enough that that summer allowed him to do his homework and write his friends).
He wrote to Harry and offered advice when Harry expressed worry over *just a dream*.
He gave up his blissful freedom to 'fly North immediately' and supported Harry by LIVING in a Cave and Eating rats throughout the tournament when NO OTHER ADULT DID.
He was trustworthy enough to give them advice on other past war things and the dealings at Hogwarts while he did this. She even insisted Harry tell him things to get his advice.
That he has a good measure on things despite his imprisonment and whatnot.
That he thinks the measure of a man can be made by looking at treatment of his inferiors.
This last point is what I think turned her against him. She knows and understand enough (despite not being empathetic at times) to get why Sirius is the way he is in those few short weeks when her attitude changed. The ONLY reason I could see her completely disregarding her previous understanding of Sirius and his goodness and trustworthiness is because of Kreacher.
Hermione's stuck on the House-Elf thing and in fact, was thrilled when Sirius sided with her over Ron during the whole Winky/Crouch thing. And even though Sirius NEVER orders Kreacher to do anything other than leave his guests alone (and keep Order secrets) the fact that he has issues with Kreacher and isn't "Nice" to him is enough for her to change her view of him.
She thinks about that "measure of a man" statement from Sirius himself, and says, "you know what - you're right, you suck" - completely ignoring the legitimate reasons for Sirius' feelings and behavior towards Kreacher and the fact that he literally just wants to be left alone.
She adds that to Molly's words, and his increasingly depressive behavior and decides he's no good after all.
ALL of this factors into my view of her behavior, but I still think it's shitty. It's shitty that she, too, defends Snape (after the BS she's been a target of, not to mentioned witnessed for ALL FOUR YEARS OF SCHOOL, so far) and yet, immediately turns on Sirius.
It's shitty that she lives in HIS HOUSE and is talking crap to his godson - not just to Sirius, but Harry as well. How the fuck, do you look at your BFF and say 'oh the godfather you love so much - he's not trustworthy' never mind that he was the ONLY one there for you last year and he's all you have. It's shitty and uncalled for.
I, specifically, hate that she pretty much cons Harry into doing the DA and then Sirius is on board (for the right reasons) and backtracks because of this terrible and untrue idea that "Sirius is trying to live through them".
Hermione is not a voice for Sirius, she doesn't know shit about him, she doesn't write him or talk to him, and she barely spends any time with him. So like... where does she get off?
Anyway, this is long, but suffice to Say, I DON'T like their thoughts. I think they're 100% wrong and even though they can feel or think whatever they want about Sirius, it's rude as hell to say it to him or to Harry, AND to feel that way when he provided you a fucking shelter so you were safe for a year.
This was a fucking Essay, I apologize, I hope you like it.

random assortment of hcs i recently came up with! ^^
- billy has an 11 year old sister named jessica but she refuses to be called that. just call her jess. she's going through a phase where she wants nothing to do with billy and that makes him sad, but deep down she still loves and cares about him :')
- alex suffers from a lot of genetic stomach problems including ulcers, he can't eat anything too spicy or acidic or it'll cause him massive pain
- molly has been playing piano ever since she was a kid, she's really good at it. she can sing too! she writes songs for sam
- kat has one of those crusty white dogs. you know those ones. he's obsessed with her and hates everyone else
- kevin is deathly allergic to seafood but he doesn't really care because it "smells nasty anyway"
- erin is very into death metal, like the type that's just screaming. she made wendy listen to one of her favorite songs and she almost instantly took her headphones off
- clear has synesthesia and that inspires a lot of her art
- rory is an avid skateboarder, that doesn't mean he's good at it though. he has definitely broken a few bones but he won't admit it
Cute, cute cute!

My December, January, & February Reads
Will I ever have time to read again????? Here's a pathetic roundup of the past three months.
Thin Skin, Jenn Shapland - One of the most beautiful book covers I've ever seen. The essay topics are a real bummer—radioactive waste, consumerism, the struggle to find meaning—and as someone who loves contemplating life's horrors, I had a great time reading this collection.
Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind, Molly McGhee - This would kill as a TV adaptation. Apple, since it seems like we're never getting Severance season two, here ya go!
Winter Storms, Elin Hilderbrand - I have no critiques; a perfectly pleasant, festive read.
Big Swiss, Jen Beagin - An incredibly fun time, pulled me right out of a reading slump. It's hilarious and I haven't read anything like it—thank you, Jen Beagin!

Long story short, we had a fantastic night at the Nectar Lounge Friday night, our first Little Lies concert of 2023.
Of course we had a fantastic night. We love this band.
It was, though, a bigger deal this time around. It was the band's tribute to and send-off of Christine McVie who passed away at the end of last November. So the band not only performed their set of Fleetwood Mac classics, they devoted their second set to songs by Christine McVie featuring a Who's Who of local vocalists and one serious guitar shredder.
Molly Sides.
Shaina Shepherd.
Kim West.
Kate Dinsmore.
Jen Ayers.
And Kathy Moore.
Now the first thing that hit us about experiencing all these lead singers, one after the other on the same stage, is that we've had this experience before. It was the Rock Vault show in Las Vegas where lead singers and musicians from various classic rock bands perform songs by their own and other bands of the era. My point, though, is we similarly experienced a number of lead vocalists at that show. We observed how they present themselves and how they engage audiences. We got to compare personalities and styles and how we responded to each of them.
The same was true for us Friday night. Each lead vocalist's talent and skill is beyond question, of course. It's in the how of how they employed their talent and skill on-stage that sets each apart. It was a bit of a Master Class in fronting a rock band.
It was also an incredible and unique experience. And a genuine delight.
The second thing that hit us was how much fun everyone was having up there on stage. How much they genuinely embraced the experience. 
This is not a small point, by the way. Because there's a joy in these songs, however classic they are. However much personal chaos produced them way back when. There is joy here. And The Little Lies experienced every last ounce of it.
And because they did...
We did.
And that is a gift, my friends.
The third thing that hit us, the last thing, actually, were the thoughtful moments in service of Christine McVie's memory.
To begin the tribute, Miranda Zickler read the words Stevie Nicks penned to her best friend, McVie, shortly after McVie's death.
In her note, Nicks writes: "one song has been swirling around in my head, over and over and over. I thought I might possibly get to sing it to her and so, I’m singing it to her now. I always knew I would need these words one day.”
The name of the song is "Hallelujah" by the band, Haim. Zickler and fellow Little Lies bandmate, Linzy Collins, then performed the song for the audience at the Nectar Lounge.
The lyrics, as Nicks suggests, are perfection to the moment.
From the third verse:
"I had a best friend but she has come to pass / One I wish I could see now / You always remind me that memories will last / These arms reach out / You were there to protect me like a shield / Long hair, running with me through the field / Everywhere, you’ve been with me all along,” 
It was a superbly touching moment, a moment of solace and reflection, a moment of appreciation and remembrance, bringing us together in a public farewell which was then followed by guest vocalist after guest vocalist celebrating the music, songs, and performances of Christine McVie.
It was a big night. An important night. A letting go and a full embrace of a classic rock icon.
A heartfelt celebration.
Brought to life by The Little Lies... their friends on-stage...
And the fans of this music who came down to the Nectar Lounge one night in January to celebrate with them.
😊
