(8/13) prompt: snow cone — 771 words (jegulus dads + harry)

Regulus sighs and runs a hand down his face, pressing over his eyes in irritation. This stupid fucking novel is going to kill him, he’s convinced. Either that or Dorcas will when he tries to plead for any possibility of an extension on his deadline again. Before he can resort to smashing his laptop to pieces on the patio table —real productive, that— he hears the familiar patter of little feet running on cement, coming up the side of the house to the backyard.

Easily, a gentle smile slips onto Regulus’ face as Harry comes into view. He hurries over to where Regulus is sitting, slurping from a paper cone in his hand. A little bit of the remaining neon green liquid in it dribbles onto Harry’s shirt and Regulus clicks his tongue.

“My darling, you’re making a bit of a mess there.”

Uncaring of trivial things like a stain right in the center of Buzz Lightyear’s face, Harry doesn’t even look down, instead grinning brightly at him as he gets closer. “Papa, look!”

Harry proceeds to hold his mouth wide open, tongue stuck all the way out for Regulus to see. It’s obvious why he’s done it in an instant; his tongue has turned the same bright green as the treat in his hand. Exhaling a laugh, Regulus shakes his head.

“Hold on, let me take a picture for your mums and Luna.” He picks up his phone from beside his laptop and turns the camera on the five year old. As soon as he’s taken it, he sends it off in the group chat he and James have with Lily and Pandora, then returns his attention to Harry. 

“Luna’s at gymnastics, they won’t see it,” Harry points out.

“They can look at it after, can’t they?”

“Oh, yeah, duh.”

Regulus snorts, nothing but fondness in his gaze as his brows lift. “Now, riddle me this, if you and daddy were meant to be rollerskating round the block, how did you end up with a green tongue?”

“The ice cream truck came by us.” Harry sucks in a big breath like there’s more he wants to add, but James finally joining them in the backyard causes him to pause. 

James has a package of wet wipes in hand and the partial roll of paper towels from the kitchen under his arm to get Harry cleaned up. It never ceases to amaze Regulus how attractive it is to watch James be so in his element as a father, even down to such simple details.

Still, Regulus manages to shoot him a sharp look. The unhelpable curl of his mouth makes the silent reprimand for treats before dinner entirely lacking, though.

“Sour apple snow cone did that, didn’t it, mate?” James says; Harry nodding quickly in confirmation.

“And you didn’t bring me anything, huh?” He looks back at Harry to ask.

“Daddy said you don’t like the ice cream truck because all the stuff’s too sugary,” Harry replies.

“Well.” Regulus gives a tilted nod of his head; can’t argue with that.

Harry leans his head back to look up at James expectantly when he slows to a stop beside him. Harry takes a held out wipe from him and wipes his face and hands after James takes the sticky paper cone from him. 

Once he’s finished, James nods in Regulus’ direction in some wordless communication with Harry. He must understand immediately, because then there’s a mirrored playfulness on both of their faces when Harry swivels back to Regulus again, bouncing excitedly on his feet.

It’s half-giggled, wholly proud of himself as Harry announces, “Also, he said you’re sweet enough without it.”

A surprised laugh slips out, Regulus shaking his head as he looks incredulously at James. “Did you just use our son to flirt with me?”

“That depends.” He smirks, wagging a finger at him.

James sets the trash collected from Harry on the table’s edge, then wipes off his own hands. Harry, now cleaned up, has bolted to the trampoline in the corner of the yard, his job here clearly done.

“And what, pray tell, does it depend on?” Regulus asks, leaning back in his seat to gaze up at his husband.

James moves in front of where Regulus sits, nudging his knees apart gently to stand as close as possible. Both of his hands lift, cradling Regulus’ jaw between his warm palms and staring down at him adoringly.

Brushing a thumb over his cheek, James wrinkles his nose subtly. “Did it work?”

Regulus’ responding laugh ends up muffled into the kiss that James leans down to press to his lips.

spare bed

pairing ; poly!marauders x fem!reader

prompt - meeting new people and letting them figure out that there is more than one partner can be a lot of fun

wc ; 1k

——————

As a prefect, it was your job to help the new girl in your house adjust to her new school. From what you had been told, Faye had only just found out she was a witch, so she was starting hogwarts a few years late.

But she was sweet so you didn’t really mind her sticking to your side for a while. You had all the same classes anyway and she had taken over the previously empty bed in your dorm.

Because she had started half way through fifth year, she asked for help on assignments a lot. But you didn’t mind that either. It helped you solidify the information in your head anyway. You and faye had been sat on your bed focused for the last half an hour, and you planned to go on until lunch.

until the door to your dorm burst open revealing sirius looking out of breath. His eyes went from you to the girl sat at the other end of your bed before he lifted his hand in a mock salute.

“ morning, ladies “ he said before strolling over to your bed and falling back against the pillows beside you.

“ why’re you out of breath?” you questioned, putting your textbook to the side momentarily.

“ may or may not have dropped ink all over evans.” as much as you wanted to act annoyed, a smile spread across your face.

“ she’s gonna kill you “

“ that’s why i came up here for protection, love “ he beamed up at you and it was impossible not to smile back. “ seems i’m interrupting though.” his eyes left yours and looked over to the girl he was yet to meet

Up until that moment you had forgotten that faye was perched at the foot of your bed with a book infront of her, awaiting your help with her work.

“ just studying, not much to interrupt. This is faye. Faye, this is sirius. “

“ nice to meet you “ faye spoke up for the first time since sirius burst into your dorm.

“ nice to meet you too. “ he said before sitting up, clearly preparing to leave. “ i’ll leave you two to study, i’m going to find prongs “ he pressed a short kiss onto your lips before leaving you and faye to your books.

The two of you studied until lunch, and went down to the great hall to eat. Spotting remus, lily and dorcas at the gryffindor table, you lead faye over and sat down beside remus while she sat by lily.

“ hi there. Haven’t seen you all day, where’ve you been ?” you slid slightly closer to him on the bench and you felt his hand drop to rest on your thigh under the table.

“ been in my dorm. We’ve been studying all morning.” you answered before turning your attention back to the girl opposite you who had fallen into conversation with lily. “ rem, this is faye. She’s taken the empty bed in our dorm. “ because you shared a dorm with lily too, they had already met. Everyone who was already in your dorm seemed to get along really well with faye.

You could see the slight confusion in faye’s eyes as she spotted how close you were sat to remus. You knew at some point you would have to mention that you had multiple boyfriends, but in that moment, you decided to let her pair it together herself. She hadnt even met james yet.

That wouldnt last long as most people's attention was drawn to the doors of the hall when the quidditch team came bursting in. your eyes instantly locked on your other two lovers who were headed straight for you and remus with smiles on their faces.

You could practically see the sweat on both of them as they approached you, and you knew they were going to hug you even if you screamed. So you decided to just embrace it when james came up behind you and wrapped his arms around your middle while sirius did the same to remus.

This had happened a lot. Every time the two returned from quidditch practice, they would find you and remus, and no matter where, they would wrap their sweaty bodies around both of you despite your pleas for them to shower first.

After a while you had just gotten used to it. You tilted your head up and james pressed a short kiss onto your lips before sitting down beside you.

“ how was practice ? “ you heard dorcas ask from across the table where marlene was now sat beside her.

“ exhausting,” james was the one to speak up beside you “ but we don’t have practice tomorrow. “ his attention was turned to you and remus before he spoke again. “ me and pads were thinking we head up to hogsmeade tomorrow morning before it gets busy “

You nodded softly, “ yeah, that sounds nice. “ it was always nicer to go to hogsmeade when it was a little more empty, especially when the four of you were trying to get through the streets without getting separated.

Everyone around you sort of fell into conversation as they ate lunch, and across the table you caught faye’s eye. You could recognise that look of understanding behind her eyes. But she lifted her hand and motioned subtly towards the four of you sat bunched together in a row, and you nodded at her wordless question. She nodded again, a soft smile falling on her lips before she was pulled into the girls conversation on the opposite side of the table as you and your boys.

It wasnt something that a lot of people could understand, but you made a point to only surround yourself with people who accepted it. And right now, you were surrounded by people who accepted your relationship and you dont think you could get much happier.

Well, the sweat now covering your body as well as james’ wasnt great, but even then the smile on your face was permanent, and you were definitely looking forward to collapsing in their dorm tonight as the spare bed two of them usually slept on, had been taken over by your newest friend.

Sirius Black - Dare You

Pairing : (F/M) || Sirius Black x Reader Word Count : 2.7k Warning : Drowning. Sirius being an idiot. I hate him. Prompts : “I couldn’t decide whether to kiss or kick you.” || “Oh? Oh.” Notes : I don’t really like Sirius in this story, he’s borderline toxic but he’s cute in the end, so I forgive him. If you like this story and would like to support me, please visit my kofi page and perhaps get me a coffee?☕

Happy tears and laughter would be the two main things that filled the group of friends’ summer break. Agreeing to join the Marauders and staying over at the Potter’s summer house would be one of the best decisions she’s made in her entire life. From the moment she stepped in the place, she knew that the days spent would be one of her greatest days, and she has been proven right so far. 

Now they’re seated in a circle, cheeks rosy from gulping down the bottles of booze James was so kind to provide. Her knees were grazing with his, sending jolts of electricity through her spine. He was laughing, being the most beautiful version of himself in her eyes. She always loved to see him beaming in laughter. The way his hair would fall on his face, hiding the piercing grey eyes that would always strip her soul whenever they’re locked on hers. Sirius Black is the definition of magnificence indeed.

If she should ever point one flaw from him it would be the fact that he wasn’t hers. Sirius has always been so carefree, so nonchalant with every aspect of his life, including romance. As bitter as she should admit, there must be no girl in the castle that hasn't tasted those pink lips of his. No girl except her, of course.

“So, will tonight finally be my lucky night?” Sirius whispers to her ears “Can I finally land the chance of tasting those lips of yours?”

“Not with your alcoholic breath, you’re not.” She says, pushing him away in a friendly manner “You’ll never kiss me, Sirius.”

The boy pouts, “Why not? Everyone else would.”

Well, that’s the problem, isn’t it? Everyone would and everyone had. She wouldn’t have any problem with his past lovers. No, the problem wasn’t of his long list of ex-lovers. It was the fact that he never meant the kiss he shared with anyone. And even though she would kill to have him kiss her, knowing that she would just be another tally to his list never sits right with her. Not when she holds the purest and most loving feelings for him.

“I bet you ten galleons we’ll have our kiss before this break is over.” He continues, still having that confident smug expression on his face “I’ll get it, one way or another.”

She snorts, “I’d love to see you try.”

“Oh, I will try, alright.” He nods in determination “Wouldn’t you be so kind and give me mental support? Small kiss on my cheek, perhaps?”

“Yeah, right.”

“Sirius!” Lily exclaims, making the two turn to the red girl “Your turn.”

“Oh, Merlin.” He mutters.

“I’ve got one.” Marlene says, her mischievous expression plastered all over her face “Never have I ever fancied someone in this room. And I meant by full on whipped, down bad, would kill for that person kind of fancy.”

James groans, “Come on, now, we all know the answer to that!”

“Do we?” Mary comments, her brows furrow “Cause I don’t.”

“I don’t either.” Lily says with the same confused tone, glancing at her boyfriend with a ‘you better explain later’ look before turning back to the raven haired boy “So have you or have you never, Sirius?”

“Of course, I have.”

“No,” The girl next to him gasps, making a disbelieved look “Who?”

“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you, Dove.” He winks “Right, spin the bottle again!”

She was stunned. So much secret for someone who seemed to have always been an open book for her. And what did he mean she wouldn’t have believed it? Would the person be someone she would least expect? Could it be Dorcas, though she’s been with Marlene for the longest time? Or could it be one of the Marauders? Or could it be Lily, the girl his best friend has been pining for years?

So many possibilities for such a vague answer.

“Stop staring at me.” Sirius says smugly “You’ll fall in love if you don’t.”

She rolls her eyes, “Who?”

“Not telling.”

“Oh, come on!” She whines, pulling on the sleeves of his sweater “Who is it? Who did you fancy?”

He turns to see her, smirking, “I’ll tell you if you let me kiss you.”

“No.” She frowns “Never.”

“Your lost.” He snorts, acting offended “Could’ve been the best night of our lives.”

Indeed it could’ve been the best night of their lives, well her life for sure, she wouldn’t know if it would leave any remark for him. Being friends with Sirius for years had made her certain that the boy could never hold half as deep of a devotion as hers, yet with the new half confession he made, she’s starting to question everything she knew. Who could be the lucky soul he’s hoard feelings for?

—-

The sun was shining bright, birds chirping as if they were singing a pleasant song. If she should choose one thing she loves most about the Potter’s summer house, it would be their pool and the sun loungers around it. She loves feeling the warmth of the sun while listening to the banter her friends exchange or taking a quick dip to the pool to cool herself from the heat. All and all, the time spent at the pool has always been the pleasant highlight of her day.

Until today.

Her eyes were closed, the sunglasses she’s wearing don’t seem to do much of a help to block the striking light. Her skin was getting red, slightly burnt from the sun, but she wasn’t in the mood to move from her seat. It’s not like everyday she could sunbathe like this.

“Help! Someone!” A voice yelled, making her sit straight up “Help, he’s not breathing!”

She turned to the source of voice, Peter, frantically shaking Sirius’ soaked body.

“What happened?” She asks as she gets to the two, kneeling behind Sirius’ limp body “Sirius, wake up!”

In a panic, she begins to tilt his head and perform CPR on the unconscious boy. Her body was trembling in fear, afraid of all the bad possible outcomes of such a disaster. Worry and fright pollutes her mind that she didn’t even think for a second that Sirius is a brilliant swimmer. There would be no logical way to explain how such a skilled boy could drown in a pool that’s not even as deep as his height.

She begins mouth to mouth, counting on the seconds before doing the press on his chest. She begins with a light one, afraid of giving him too much pressure. Yet before she could do a third press to his chest, the boy bursts into laughter.

“You’re tickling me.” He exclaims, now sitting up as if nothing has happened “Merlin, I should’ve done this years ago.”

She pulled away, looking appalled and baffled at the situation, “You were- I thought- What’s just happened?”

“You kissed me.”

“What?”

“I said, you kissed me.” He said with a victorious smile “Told you we’d have that kiss before the break’s over.”

She blinks, letting out a disbelieved chuckle from the stunt he’s pulled, “You’re a dickhead, Sirius.”

She stands from her spot, walking away in angry steps. How dare he trick her that way? How dare he scared her to death, only to taunt her with the kiss that he obviously had no remarks of? How dare he hurt her this way?

“Wait, Love, I’m sorry.” Sirius called, trying to catch her “Hey-”

“Is everything a joke for you?!” She snaps, turning to him with teary eyes now.

Sirius gulped, understanding that he’s taken it too far this time.

“Do you understand the horror I felt? Thinking that you really drowned? Thinking that you’re really not breathing? Do you even understand how terrifying it was, Sirius?!”

He winces, her shouting was making the others to come out of the house, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean-”

“Everything’s just a joke for you, isn’t it?” She says with a quivering voice, yanking his hand away from her “Just fuck off, okay!”

The group of friends gasps. Sure she’s never been a saint but she’s never spat on anyone, not unless they were exchanging a banter. They knew that Sirius had crossed the line this time, whatever he did. Just perfect to turn their blissful getaway into a living nightmare now.

—-

She’s been staying in her room, sulking over her pathetic state. Exactly why did her heart have to choose him? Why couldn’t she just fall for a more grounded boy? One who would be more careful with her heart. One who would take care of her gently. One who would never be as careless as Sirius is.

It was never meant to be, she knew it. From the beginning she could already taste the bitter ending her infatuation would lead her. Sirius would never take her more than a friend, let alone reciprocate her feelings. He’s never wanted to be tied to someone else. He’s never wanted to settle down with someone. He’s never wanted to grow old and spend the rest of their lives together. No, that was never and would never be Sirius.

But why is it so hard for her to hate him? All the tears shed over this morning’s incident was not of her hatred for him, it was for her hatred towards herself. How could she be so foolish to still love him, even after everything? Even after every blatant evidence that he would never be the one for her?

A soft knock was made from the other side of the door. Perhaps it was Lily again, coaxing her to get out of the room and take her dinner. She hasn’t eaten anything since breakfast, after all. Yet her appetite has gone out of the window and she certainly isn’t in the mood to meet anyone tonight.

“Love?” He says softly “It’s me. Would you please open the door so we could talk?”

Her head turns, not expecting to hear his voice.

“Pease?” He begs, knocking on the door once more “It wouldn’t take much of your time, I promise.”

Sniffling, she finds her feet closer to the door. Her brain was cursing her for it, for giving in so easily after everything he’s done, but her heart could never bear the plea in his tone. He knew exactly how to crumble her fortress with just one pleading. Another thing to add on the things that make her so pathetic tonight.

“What do you want?”

Sirius’ expression softens, noticing her still wet cheeks and the heartbroken expression she has all over her face, “Can we talk?”

She didn’t say a word as she walked back inside the room, not closing the door in a gesture for him to come. He did, quietly closing the door behind him and standing a few metres away from her, not wanting to invade her sheer tolerance for him.

“I’m sorry,” He starts “For everything this morning, I’m really sorry.”

She remains quiet, watching him as she tries to decipher his words.

“I thought it was a harmless prank, I didn’t think it through, I’m sorry.”

“Why are you so obsessed with wanting to kiss me, Sirius?” She asks, her voice still barely above a whisper “Am I one of the girls in your dating conquest?”

“No, no, of course not!” He exclaims fast, taking a few steps closer to her “I have never intended for you to feel that way. You’re far from the girls I ever dated from. You’re my friend, you're worth so much more than all of them combined.”

And there it is. A friend. His friend. As much as it relieves her to know that he thinks of her preciously, the bitter truth still hurts. She knew that he only sees her as a friend, she knew these all along. Yet having the confirmation served to her face now brought a whole different level of heartache she didn’t know one could even suffer from.

“Alright.” She says with a sharp breath, trying to maintain her composure so not to crumble completely in front of him “I forgive you. Would that be all?”

“Yes.”

“Okay.”

Sirius turns his body, walking closer to the door before shaking his head and facing her again, “No, actually that’s not all.”

She raised an eyebrow, confused by his demeanour.

“I suppose I have to tell you the real reason why I’m so desperate to kiss you.”

“Okay,” She nods lightly, still not following the direction he’s heading “I’m all ears.”

“I like you.” He blurts “I like you, I love you, I want you, I pine for you, Merlin, I’m desperate for you.”

She blinks, taken aback by his confession.

“I’m the worst at showing my true intentions, believe me the boys have scolded me for years for it but I really don’t know what to do with all these emotions. I yearn for you and it’s maddening that you’re not mine and that I couldn’t kiss you or that I couldn’t hold you anytime I want.”

She’s still mute, trying to digest each of his words.

“I’m sorry for being the pathetic loser that I am. I know that you must hate me for everything. For being this pitiful and foolish with the whole dating quest but I tried, truly I tried to wriggle myself out of these feelings and I can’t. Everytime I try my best to suppress these feelings, it would only spit on my face and amplify instead.” He confessed, looking defeated and desperate from his own torment “So I beg you, please get me out of this. Please get me out of this torture.”

“And how would I do that?”

He shrugs, shaking his head, “I don’t know. Yell at me, tell me that I’m an idiot and that you hate me for ruining our friendship. Tell me that I’m the most pathetic bloke there is and that you’ll never reciprocate my feelings. Tell me that you’ll never love me.”

“Is that truly what you want?”

“No, but there really isn’t any other way, is there?”

She shrugs, “I don’t know, perhaps there is.”

Now it’s his turn to have his brows furrowed in confusion.

“The person you fancied, it was me?” She asks, trying to make sure that she wasn’t lost in translation “You fancy me?”

“Fancy is a far understating word, but yes, it was you. It’s always been you.” He reaffirms “And I never said I stopped fancying you. You’re the one who thought I no longer do.”

“Oh? Oh.”

An awkward silence fell between the two. As she tries to process his confession, Sirius is put on edge. He’s never seen her with such mannerism, so hard for him to understand what she would say next or what she’s thinking. He hoped that she would break his heart. Utter all the worst words she could probably say, he hoped that she would crush his heart to pieces, because otherwise he knew that he’ll be stuck loving the girl who doesn’t feel the same way about him.

“Is that all you could say? Oh?” He asked, still nervous of her response.

“So far, yes.”

He nods, “Right.”

“Do you really mean it?’

“Which part?”

“Every part.”

“I did.” He answers firmly, gulping “Except for the part where I wanted you to break my heart. I hope you wouldn’t, but there’s no other way for me to get out of these feelings, so if you would.”

“I wouldn’t.”

Sirius raised an eyebrow, completely lost from her words now.

“Merlin, I couldn’t decide whether to kiss or kick you.” She says with a bitter chuckle, running a hand through her hair “You stress me so much, do you know that?”

“I’m sorry?” He apologises “I think?”

She rolls her eyes, coming closer to him this time and resting her hands to his chest, “You’re a pathetic loser, Sirius Black.”

He gulps, bracing himself for the heartbreak he’s about to face.

“You’re the daftest bloke in history and I hate you for confessing your feelings to me now,” She continues, glueing her eyes to his now “Because if you’ve done it earlier, you could’ve kissed and held me for years already.”

 “What-”

“Shut up and just kiss me before I get mad at you again.”

“Yes, Ma’am.”

And so he leans in, finally getting the price he’s thirsted for the longest of time. She was the definition of perfection, the way her soft lips met with his. How her body’s now close to his, being held in his protective embrace just the way he’s always prayed at night. For a moment there all the years of silent pining and distressful yearns for each other doesn’t seem so bad. Never that bad when a happy ending is their reward.

regulus : gaslights the fuck out of everyone, always wins. no exceptions. this man is fucking unbeatable.

dorcas : is good at it but she'd go into a rage episode every time she gets killed unfairly

mary : doesn't understand the game, tries playing and gives up.

marlene : eyes only on protecting dorcas every single time but votes to kill her just to mess with her.

alice : just there for the vibes, sits with popcorn while provoking people and trying a hand in everyone's phones and gets overly competitive with them

emmeline : wouldn't lose. she'd bomb the game every single time, she'd win. no exceptions, this woman is FIERCE when it comes to games

The Marauders and how they’d react to/feel about spiders, because I had a meltdown when I found one in my room this morning :)

James: Freaks out. Screams for someone to get rid of it, but insists on not killing it (it is a living organism after all). “NO, PUT IT OUTSIDE, JUST PUT IT OUTSIDE! FURTHER AWAY, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? IT WILL CRAWL RIGHT BACK IN!”

Sirius: Freaks out as well. But it gets UGLY. You know that meme of that crying woman pointing at the white cat? That’s him pointing at the spider. He also does not care if it’s a living organism, he wants to see it DEAD. “I don’t CARE if it’s more scared of me then I am of it, KILL. IT.”

Remus: Doesn’t care about them, never has. He’s kind enough to take them outside for James and Sirius with that glass and paper trick, but not before pretending to accidentally have dropped/lost it on one of their beds. Because he IS an asshole.

Peter: Used to find them scary, but from the first time on when he came into the dorm and found James and Sirius standing on their beds/desks screaming, he became the knight in shining armour and took it out (not outside, OUT). (He became a little terrified again though the first time he saw one as a rat: “This shit’s GIGANTIC!” But then again, he thought of everything as gigantic … “And- and then Remus … Jeez, he looked like a fucking giant! And Sirius- … Well you were there too, ig”)

Lily: Very much not scared. Thinks they’re fascinating actually. If she finds one outside, crawling over her picnic blanket or smth, she’ll let it crawl over her hand and curiously watch it.

Mary: Will watch it with Lily, joking about being jealous of its long legs. And then she’ll insist on letting it crawl onto her hand as well, but as soon as it does, she’s all “Nonono, take it off. TAKE IT OFF”

Marlene: Very similar to Sirius, perhaps less tears and more aggressive screaming. “KILL IT, FUCKING. KILL. IT.”

Dorcas: Just … Does not care. She’ll find one in her room and goes “Okay cool, you live here now as well, ig” Occasionally she will talk to it like: “Jeez Timmy, you better know how lucky you are … Imagine just not having to write Transfiguration essays …” (Wait, you don’t, do you? Or are you an animagus? You better not be …”)

Pandora: Loves them. Even has a pet spider she’ll force everyone to cuddle with. She’ll occasionally lose it too, and everytime some brave soul brings it back to her, she’s like an old lady with her cat: “Tsk tsk tsk Garry, where have you been again, huh?” Just leaving, not even thanking the person that brought Garry back. So they stand there, awkwardly, as Pandora moves away like: “Always exploring the neighbourhood, aren’t you, lil guy?”

Regulus: Doesn’t really mind them either. Very similar to Dorcas, but he’s a bit more fascinated by them, like Lily. He will look through several books to find out what kind it is, and just … sit there and watch it, or draw it in his sketchbook

Barty: Says he’s all chill around them, until Evan next to him clears his throat and he’s reminded of last week, when he was screaming and crying and running from a leave that fell into his lap, which to him looked like a spider

Evan: Maniac. Will carry them out with his BARE HANDS. Just grabbing it off the wall. And unlike Remus he won’t just pretend to drop it, but actually drop it onto Barty’s bed. (He regrets that every time though, because for an entire week after, Barty insists on sleeping in the common room, even if the spider’s long gone by then). If he finds Pandora’s spider he’ll keep it for another day or two, playing and cuddling with it “What? I’d do the same if it were a cute lil kitten” “Well you see, it’s NOT a cute lil kitten … IT’S A MONSTER FROM HELL!”

For @mppmaraudergirl's Blackevans BFF Week! Prompt: Padfoot Knows

Lily Evans is stuck in a closet with Sirius. All Sirius wants to talk about is exactly what she's trying not to think about: James Potter. Or: A seven minutes in heaven that's more like seven minutes of sweet sweet integration ft. Lily and Sirius.

Read on Ao3 or below the cut

No matter what anyone will say tomorrow, Lily Evans wanted to have fun tonight.

It’s just that being stuck in a closet with Sirius Black wasn’t included in that plan.

“You know I’m not kissing you,” Lily half-whispered.

“Evans. Chill. It’s not like I have a death wish,” Sirius replied, deadpanned. “Though on second thought, I might. But I certainly don’t want a vengeful Prongs being the last thing I see,” Sirius added.

“You sure about that, Black?” Even now, Sirius wouldn’t drop the act. On some level, under annoyance and bitterness, Lily was slightly impressed. He will never stop being the ever-loyal friend, continuing the joke with no audience to hear.

“The fact that he would kill me or that I don’t want his fist in my face to be the last thing I experience?” Sirius replied.

Lily sighed. “Either. Both.” Honestly, she just wanted Sirius to stop acting as if his best mate’s in love with her. The unrealistic part of her brain has been running wild. It might not be his fault, but she needs Sirius to stop fueling her false hopes and daydreams.

“You don’t have to keep up appearances for me—”

“—Evans”

“Yes, I know you always keep up appearances,” Lily quickly interjected, stopping Sirius from hijacking what she was about to say. “You don’t have to pretend that James still likes me. Or that he’s really that stupid to fight his best friend and his—and I quote ‘brother from another mother’—because of a silly, little, juvenile crush three years ago.”

Sirius started laughing the second Lily finished. It made her want to scream. Despite his thoughts on the matter, nothing about this was funny.

“That’s a lot of adjectives, Evans,” Sirius said. Lily felt an unreasonable need to stomp her foot and whine. Instead, she decided a glare would have to do.

“And yes,” in an overdone grave tone, Sirius began again, “I am 80% sure that Prongs would at least plan my murder if I ever made a move. Don’t worry though, you’re not my type.”

Now they were getting somewhere. Ideally, Sirius would have just admitted James’s lack of feelings. It would sting like hell, but then maybe she could move on. But that wasn’t going to happen. So, steering the direction away from James Potter was the next best option.

It would also probably slow her rising heart rate.

“...So you have a type?” Lily managed, feigning casualness.

Sirius just swatted her arm before sinking to the cool floor. He cleaned his throat, smirked, and then said, “This is officially a Lily Evans intervention, warmest welcome.”

Damnit. Lily rolled her eyes and plopped down next to Sirius.

“You’re the smartest in our class but—”

“Are you really staging an intervention to deflect from my question?” Lily asked. Yes, she was the first to deflect. But if she couldn’t get away with it, neither would he.

“It’s my time. You can detective all you want afterward. Anyways, you’re the smartest in our class but you’re so oblivious,” Sirius said.

“So when does my time start?” Lily asked, all innocence.

Sirius turned his head to directly look at her. “You don’t have to keep up appearances for me, Lily.”

Well, shit.“What appearances? I’m just trying to get through these seven minutes so I can go back to Marlene, Dorcas, Alice, and Remus,” Lily said meekly.

“And James too, right?”

Oh, next time she finds Sirius out after curfew she is not looking the other way.Lily’s mind raced. Sirius was doing this right now, right here. If Sirius knew, then James knew, and if James knew...

“I see you practically oozing hope every time he looks at you,” Sirius’s voice pierced her thoughts. “About five seconds later you freeze when you remember you’re supposed to hate him. But you don’t hate him.”

At least 60% of her wanted to punch him. Or to scream, to yell. But pretending was taking so much energy. She was just tired enough to entertain the idea of honesty.

Sirius decided to continue his little speech.  “I saw you almost set three scrolls on fire after he walked into the common room, shirtless after Quidditch. Which by the way doesn't make any sense because everyone was looking at me.”

Bloody hell. Sirius was set out to ruin her.

Lily thought she hid her feelings well, only allowing them out when no one else was the wiser. But that night she couldn’t not look. The James Box Lily locked in public kept slowly opening. And when James got butterbeer on his Cupid’s bow she might have decided to lower the facade. Just a tad. And just for herself.

Wait, no. It’s Potter. Not James. She has to stop calling him that if she wants to move on.

Potter. Not James.

Really, all Lily could do was slide down to the floor and feebly laugh.

“Evans, come on. You know you’ll be Minister of Magic one day, or head healer or top auror, or the goddamn queen. But don’t fool yourself, we all know you’re going to be Mrs. Potter – or you know, Evans-Potter, or Potter-Evans, or whatever, you, Evans, married to James Potter,” Sirius said.

“Are you finished,” Lily asked.

Sirius shrugged, waiting for her response.

“Okay.” Lily took a breath, needing to center herself. “Okay. Maybe I have some feelings. Some non-platonic, messy feelings for him. You’re honestly confusing me right now, which isn’t fair. Because I have been working on it! Just like how you're ‘working on it,’” Lily said, using air quotes at the end. 

“Bloody hell, Black!” Lily exclaimed as she stood up. These seven minutes were lasting forever. “You can’t just do that! Anyway, it’s my turn. So, do you want to tell me whose face you do want to see at the end of it all? Who you are always fawning over? Buying sweaters with extra long sleeves so he can use the cuffs like mittens?” Lily asked.

The closet was suddenly too silent. Lily moved towards Sirius, sliding down. Quietly she whispered, “Tell me I’m wrong Sirius. Tell me Remus Lupin isn’t exactly your type.”

Sirius took a moment, running his hands through his hair. “So...you’re right. And I’m right?” He looked at her again. “Oh my god, Evans. We’re both fucked.”

Lily had to agree.

[redtaylorsversiongirlie]

maybe a part 2 of the letter?

pt 1.

it took you days to finally shower and walk out of your dorm. you're sure it would've been longer if marlene didn't drag you from your bed.

you were a sobbing mess for the whole five days, you either slept or cried, sometimes ate but that was only when your friends forced you.

all of them; marlene, mary, lily, and dorcas hated sirius so much for what he had done to you. they were confused as equally as you. you told them before he dumped you that he said the 'l word' for the first time.

lily informed you mary and marlene hexed him milion times already, and dorcas once slapped him. the readhead didn't do anything as she knew you wouldn't appreciate that.

one thing you wanted from them was to find out what girl sirius left you for. you wanted to know what could you do better so he wouldn't leave you.

days passed and you still didn't get your answer. nor the girls had suspicion.

they expected sirius to carelessly shag every girl who looks at him, to snog her in front of you and everyone. they didn't expect his usually very vocal self be quiet. . .

"he seemed sad," commented marlene and rolled her eyes. "is he seriously making himself a victim? what a fucking dick."

***

sirius hated himself for what he had done to you. he wanted to rip his heart out of his chest when he saw you days after the breakup in the great hall. you didn't even look at him, not even once. you didnt even talk much. if someone asked you something, your reply would be short.

he wanted to explain everything so badly, he wanted to say sorry and to kiss you like he never did before. he wanted to make love to you slowly and passionately.

he was falling asleep with you on his mind every night. he thought about you in his arms, forehead kisses and your adorable little laughs. words couldnt explain how much he missed you. it hurted him, but he knew his pain could never compare to yours.

you thought that he, the person you loved so much, was being unfaithful to you. you thought there was another person that had his heart in their grip. you thought he stopped loving you as fast as the candle goes out in the wind.

he would forever be sorry for the pain he caused you, no matter what happens.

***

james potter didn't mean to go through his best friend's things, but sirius borrowed his feather weeks ago and now that james lost his, he needed that one back as he needed to finish his potion essay.

he was looking everywhere, on and in the nightstand, in sirius's bag, under the pillow and thr cover, and then under bed.

as i said, james going through sirius's things wasn't his intention but under sirius's bed there was piece of parchment. because he was curious, james took it from under the bed and began reading.

sirius,

i got a very disturbing information from bellatrix. she said you got yourself a girlfriend, mudblood one. i really hope it is only to make me angry and not that you love some mudblood.

if you are keep reading this and you had not burned this letter, end it with her. because if you won't end the relationship with that mudblood, i'll kill her. you know i will. she bleeds mud while you bleed a pure red blood. she's a filth to the society and i will make sure she will dissapear and nobody will suspect me. i'll make her suffer so much that she will plead me to just kill her. that will happen if you don't end things with her.

do as i say,

walburga.

by the time james finished reading, his mouth was wide opened.

he realized that sirius didn't break up with you because there was someone else, he broke up with you for your safety. he knew he needed to tell you. he heard sirius crying in the night and he saw the way you looked. james needed to end the agony both of you felt.

***

you were studying with mary in your dorm when james decided to just burst in.

"potter, ever heard of knocking?" mary said, annoyed. "what if we were naked?"

"i would still love lily," james replied and turned his attention to you. "we need to talk. mary, leave."

"it's my dorm too!"

"mary, please go," you said.

after mary forcedly left, james pulled out the parchment from behind his back.

confusion was written over your face. "what is this?"

"read," james commanded.

and so you did and you couldn't believe your eyes.

"did you write this, james?" you asked, looking up at him. "because if yes, it's not funny."

"no, of course not! i found it while looking through sirius's things."

you pursed your lips. "okay, i'm not going to ask why were you doing that," you stood up fr your bed. "where is he?"

james beamed, "in the common room."

you didn't wait a second after that and made your way down the stairs with james following behind.

sirius was sitting in the common room on one of the couches with remus and peter sitting next to him.

when your ex boyfriend's eyes landed on you, he slightly started panicking as he saw you were looking straight at him.

without a greeting or any words, you grabbed sirius's hand and lead him out of the room.

when you made sure nobody's around you asked him, "why didn't you tell me your mother sent you a letter?"

his eyes widened. "how do you know about that? did you go through my things?"

"james did," you said. "answer to my question, please."

sirius sighed. "i knew if i told you about it you would try to find a solution to it."

"well, of course—"

he put his palm on the side of your face. "there's none, doll."

"there is! we can keep it a secret! i'm gonna be honest, i won't like being one but i don't want to lose you again!"

he leaned his forhead against yours and closed his eyes.

"i love you," he whispered as your heart was about to explode.

you crashed your lips against his, cupping his face with your hands. you missed the way kissing him felt like. it felt like everything will be okay, that he will be there protecting you no matter what.

and that's exactly how you felt in that moment.

Yo.

I need someone who's been reading dstg to come over here.

Huge ass spoilers.

(I copied this from my discord board bc they've either not read or not caught up so I thought maybe ...)

I'm in denial. Does Marlene count as major character???

Bc she just sacrificed herself so dorcas could live ...

But if she doesn't count...

Remus is actually dead.

The stupid self sacrificial beautiful wonderful man just killed himself, the last horcrux, so his family could live.

I mean.

Lily can heal, right?

She can fix it?

Or if she can, does that mean that horcrux isn't actually gone?

Or if ... Riddle dies while remus as horcrux is dead...

Then he can be brought back?????

Y'all.

Send help.

I stared at my screen for a long time.

Bc.

I have been afraid of this.

But it feels unreal.

Like.

I mean.

A tear escaped.

But I'm not sobbing?

Maybe that will come when I get someone else's POv of dealing with it....

It hurts so bad. But I think I'm telling myself that ...

Story isn't tagged mcd. Even if chapter is.

So maybe ...

a very detailed marauders as volleyball positions post because i felt like it

sirius: outside hitter. he just gives me those vibes. plays only one position in right back because he has a good serve, but gets subbed out once he’s done serving. totally has a little handshake with whoever he’s subbing with.

remus: either he’s an amazing setter in a 6-1 rotation or doesn’t play volleyball at all.

james: setter in a 6-2 rotation, outside hitter when in the front row. him and sirius do a lot of cool tricks whenever james is setting for him. they 100% fuck around whenever james pushes sirius up. sometimes forgets he’s in the back row and tries to illegally attack the ball. only sometimes tho.

peter: back row specialist. probably not libero. or, like remus, he doesn’t play at all.

marlene: this might be controversial, but she’s a libero. she will dive anywhere for a ball if she has to. when she’s on the court, no volleyball is touching that floor. her knees are always fucked up. pretty good back row attacks.

dorcas: MIDDLE HITTER MIDDLE HITTER MIDDLE HITTER. also similar to sirius in the way that she serves for half a rotation because holy shit her serves are scary.

mary: outside or right side hitter. an absolute beast at blocking— nobody gets through her. i also feel like she’d be good at digging the ball out of the net without getting fouled. her and dorcas are always in the front row together because they’re the dream team.

pandora: all around player. right side hitter in front row, left side in back row. very fast, hardly ever needs to dive. absolutely a tipping queen and it never fails to piss off the other side. accidentally gets called on rotational fouls a lot, mostly when being pushed up by the setter.

lily: she also gives me setter vibes, but for a 6-2. i don’t think she’d be a setter by herself (not that she couldn’t do it. she definitely could.) is very smart with the ball. loves to dump it on the other side when they least expect it. the other team never knows her next move.

evan: outside hitter. scary scary scary. i’d be scared of him as a back row player. has probably given multiple concussions.

barty: definitely a front row somewhere. anywhere. he has a really powerful swing, but he gets fouled a lot. reaches over the net, lifts, etc etc. he always tries to fight the foul call even when he knows he did it lmao.

regulus: setter + right side hitter. like lily, very smart with the ball while setting. is really good at back-setting and always has plays up his sleeve with his hitters. when in the front row, he can use both hands to hit equally. his swings might not be the most powerful, but he definitely knows where to put them for a kill. spot server 100% and will make the weakest back row opponent know they are the weakest with how deliberate his serve is.

#i think i’ve done this before but oh well #doing it again #marauders

[blitheringmcgonagall]

I have a very very fixed idea about this headcanon and I will not be accepting other versions:

Jily

James is a bit old fashioned, obviously, having older parents. He’s been brought up to be chivalrous, open doors, ladies first etc but also introduced to newer ideas by Lily, Marlene, Dorcas, Remus. His mother Mia Potter was a rebel and didn’t stick to gender norms for her generation either. He never really appreciated that, took it for granted that other mothers were like his own. Monty laughed heartily when James mentioned this. She would hate to be considered conservative!

However, now he’s changed his way of thinking about gender (and he’s a determined feminist, thank you very much, obviously!!) he still insists on always putting Lily’s name first if talking about them as a couple - Lily & James - and in tagging tumblr posts. Evans and Potter. It’s to do with making damn sure people respect her, deference to purebloods be damned. She’s a muggleborn and you better respect everything about her without exception. She’s as good, no better, than any pureblood he’s ever met. She is everything. Without exception. Until the very end.

Wolfstar

Sirius hates that being a Black, even a disowned Black, still gives him privileges. As though people are afraid his family might rally to his support, or he may finally be persuaded to leave his miscreant days behind him, be admitted back into the fold. It disgusts him. Frightens him. Sycophants and cowards, lickarses (as Lily calls them), the lot of them. He hates how Remus is discriminated against. That he won’t be able to find a secure job, that if people find out he’s a werewolf he’ll be shunned, feared, ostracised, potentially attacked, even killed. That someone as wonderful as Remus John Lupin should be judged so harshly based on something he has no control over, something that is not his fault - he cannot cope with it.

It’s always Remus and Sirius, always address the letter to Lupin & Black if you must, if they get married he wants it to be Remus & Sirius Lupin Black (or just Lupin, he can’t decide, after all it would supremely piss off Walburga to marry a half blood werewolf and keep the Black family in the picture). What he’s sure of is that he wants to marry RJL. So if you’re tagging Wolfstar posts on tumblr it’s Remus first. Always.

#jily #lily evans #james potter #in that order!!! #wolfstar #remus lupin #sirius black #in that order!!!! #no exceptions #thank you for coming to my ted talk #headcanons I can’t get rid of #Lily and Remus think it’s ridiculous #but that makes no difference #they think it’s kind of adorable- Lily #and also uncalled for - Remus

Two Hearts

word count: 1266

“So you don’t want this anymore.”

It was a bright sunny day. James, Sirius and Regulus were chasing each other around the quidditch pitch on their brooms. Lily and Remus were occasionally throwing things at them when they came close. Mary and Peter had made a picnic and were arguing over what order they should eat the food. Off in the distance, Evan was laughing at Barty stuck in a tree.

The cheerful summer day seemed oblivious of Marlene and Dorcas hidden in a nook.

“That’s not what I said.”

“Well, that’s what it sounds like.” Marlene crossed her arms over her chest and took a step back from Dorcas.

Dorcas stepped back in front of her as if Marlene was acting irrationally. “I said that I can’t do this, not that I don’t want to.”

“So what changed then, as far as I’m aware you were fine with this yesterday when we were making out.” What Dorcas had said came out of the blue. The last thing Marlene had expected when Dorcas brought her over was… this. Maybe she was getting angry, but she’d be caught off guard and was so scared that she was going to lose Dorcas. So yeah, all rational thoughts had gone out the window.

“I was- I am, but Marlene it’s nearly the end of our last year. You’ve heard the talk, right? Of Voldemort and his plans and the murders and Death Eaters and all that? Things aren’t going to be safe out there and it’s going to be so much harder than Hogwarts.” Dorcas clenched her jaw. Marlene didn’t get it.

"So? I'm gonna fight Cas, Dumbledore has a resistance and plans to fight Voldemort when the time comes. They're out there saving people and finding Death Eaters, so that's what I'll do too." It was her duty. She wanted to protect her friends and loved ones and she could do that by helping kill this asshole psychopath. What didn't Dorcas understand? "We can do it together you know, it's not some 'Gryffindor only' thing, we need all the help we can get."

Dorcas' eyes suddenly filled with tears and her grip on her satchel tightened. "But I can't Marls, that's the problem, I can't just join Dumbledore and fight for-"

"Well, why not?" Marlene demanded, cutting her off. "There's no secret initiation test you need to pass, you don't need fucking credentials or something its just-"

"BECAUSE OF MY FUCKING PARENTS MARLENE!" Everything seemed to go dead quiet at that. Dorcas hastily wiped her eyes with her palm. "Because both of them have joined him and they expect me to as well. So many of our parents have. Mine, Reg's, Evan's. Most of the Slytherins are planning to join him, either because their families have, or that's how they were raised. They don't have options. And neither do I."

"But why do they have to tell you what to do! You don't want to join him so how could they make you? You're your own person they can't control you or-"

"Yes, They Can! They can and they will. Marlene, my parents are shitty people and I am their only child. I am expected to follow them and uphold the family name. If I don't there will be consequences." Both girls were frustrated and on edge. Marlene's brain was moving at a million miles an hour trying to process what the fuck was going on, and Dorcas was about to punch something.

They seemed to be in their own world of torment. Their friends were oblivious, still causing mayhem in the distance. Peter and Mary had finally made up their minds and were handing out little plates to Lily, Regulus and Remus. While James and Sirius had also gotten stuck in the tree trying to get Barty down. Evan was lying on the ground below them but that was likely because he was laughing so much. Marlene was wondering how long it would take them to figure out that Evan had put a sticking charm on the tree and there was a simple incantation to reverse it.

She might've laughed if she wasn't so pissed, upset and confused. "Okay but like what kind of consequences? Can we help? Is it like banning you from quidditch? Kicking you out? Cutting off your allowance? Grounding you?"

"It's unforgivable curses Marlene," Dorcas snapped. While her family was not the only one that used... old-fashioned methods, it was not something she tended to mention. Marlene's jaw dropped and she went pale. Dorcas laughed bitterly. "Yes, if I don't follow all their orders, or maintain our perfect image, or sell my fucking soul to Voldemort, then they will make me. My parents will use the Crutiatus curse until I am begging to join Voldemort. Plan A fails? Well, Imperio is Plan B. And if for some reason, after all that, I'm still not the perfect daughter, They Will Kill Me. So no, I have no other option. You may have Pureblood parents Marlene but you do not have Pureblood supremacist parents."

"Merlin, Cas, I-"

"Yeah, you didn't know. I know." Dorcas looked away, watching their friends enjoy the sun. "I shouldn't have expected you to understand."

"So there's nothing we can do, nothing I can do, to help you? The Unforgivable Curses are illegal, they shouldn't be allowed to treat you like that."

"Neither should Regulus and Sirius' parents, neither should Evan's dad or Barty's dad, but we don't get a say in that."

For a moment they just stood in silence. Not sure what to do. Not sure what to say. They were learning that the world was not kind; life was not fair. Marlene was on the verge of tears. Dorcas was hurting and there was nothing she could do to help. She was going to lose her. It was like watching sand fall between her fingers and realising she'd never be able to stop it. This was it. There was no waking up and realising it was a dream; no miracle solution falling into her lap. It wasn't like in books and movies, where everything works out and they all live happily ever after. She was going to lose Dorcas. The mere thought shattered her heart.

"I-," Marlene turned back towards her girlfriend, tears streaming down her pale cheeks. "I really, love you, you know that right?"

Dorcas squeezed her eyes together. "Yeah, I know," she whispered. "I love you too."

Marlene stared into Dorcas' eyes and saw the pain and fear hidden behind the topaz. She started crying harder, reaching out for Dorcas' hands.

Dorcas held them with equal force. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just- I can't do this anymore. Knowing that it's never going to work. Tricking myself into thinking I have a future with you. It hurts too much-"

Cutting herself off, she screwed her face up in pain and sorrow, desperately trying to hold herself together.

"Waking up beside you in the mornings," Dorcas said, her voice cracking. "Waking up beside you, with your arms wrapped around me. Makes me feel like we could do that every day for the rest of our lives."

Marlene's grip on Dorcas' hands tightened and she looked up at her through her tears. I love you she whispered I love you, I love you, I love you. She knew it wasn't going to make any difference. Dorcas pulled her into a hug, and they clung to each other, wishing they could stay like that forever. Fused into one another. Unable to be separated. Two hearts beating as one.

[storynerd121]

it's not saturday anymore (at least for me) but i don't care and i hope you don't either...

(yes, i'm gonna ask you one for nearly each point, cause... that's like my personality...)

i'm not very original here, but i'm excited for your answers!!!

☆ fuck, marry, kill:

(really not original, but i wanna knowwwww)

james, sirius, remus?

regulus, evan, barty?

mary, dorcas, marlene? (and lily too?? ahhhh how can i add her???)

☆ top 3 of...

hmmm... i'm gonna do that differently: if you could only eat (don't worry about drinking) 3 things for the rest of your life, what would it be?

☆ are you a dog or a cat person?

☆ ahhhhhhhhhh i can't think of something for the next two... (okay, that's like half true i'm just too shy... sorry...)

☆ headcanons... that's a long answer probably? and this is so long already... but... tell me something if you want to? about anything? anddd one question: what do you think about ravenclaw barty?

☆ hmmmm... i don't really knowww... okay, this is weird maybe, but i think, you'd be awesome in a cartoon? that isn't even question-related... yeppp... i mean that in the nicest way possible btw!!! i think you're that mix of being sweet and cool that i associate with cartoon characters? okay... that's kinda dumb... my social anxiety/awkwardness is screaming at me... (what i mean is that i think you'd be awesome in a cartoon what leads to that maybe i'd ship you with a cartoon character? but i don't know enough about cartoon to give a character... i just kinda got that vibe...)

☆ my day was kinda boring... nothing special, but also very chilled...

how are you doing? how was your day? :)

byeeee

<33

hiiiii!! Thx for all the questions (im bored so this is perfect for rn. i honestly don't care if its not sat. anymore lol.) Anyways here's my answers.

☆ fuck, marry, kill:

kill james (im sorry my love 😭 i still adore u), fuck sirius (i may be ace but u get the point), and marry remus (bc we would be book lovers together).

kill barty (😭😭😭), fuck evan (bc why not), and marry regulus (he's just a bby thats in need of love). (bro it was so hard to choe between barty and evan omg. im still not sure lmao)

i'm gonna do fuck, slap, mary, kill for the girls bc i wanna add lily in. marry lily (ily queen), fuck dorcas, slap marlene, and kill mary (im gonna be honest here i dont rly know/read a lot abt them but i wanna read more good fics so recommendations r welcome)

☆ top 3:

Ok so if i could only eat 3 things for the rest of my life it'd probably be.... chocolate (bc i need it), chicken (bc i need protein and why not), and peas (my fav veggie). thats a hard question lol. i kinda just picked what i need for a balanced (ish) diet....

☆ dog or a cat person?

i love dogs, but im a cat person. (i also have 2 dogs and 1 cat. i love them all <3)

☆ headcanons… that's a long answer probably? and this is so long already… but… tell me something if you want to? about anything? anddd one question: what do you think about ravenclaw barty?

ooooo, ok. so ravenclaw barty (bc im starting with the question). I honestly like it. I feel like he's both sytherin and ravenclaw (like me) and i honestly like him in both houses. ig sytherin is a little better for him but honestly i still like him in both. idk why it just feels kinda right?? (and he still gets cute moments with evan in both houses so i cool with both lol)

hmmmm... a headcanon of mine..... i'm gonna stick to the marauders fandom bc why not. one of my fav headcanons is just soft reggie. like just for james. he's srsly so adorable and he loves to cuddle with his bf (even tho he's to embarrassed to ask at first so james just kinda pulls him into a hug/kiss every time he senses reg doesn't wanna ask and reg gets all flustered. he does get comfortable with it eventually tho). another one of my fav headcanons is abt wolfstar. I feel like siri is the one who stays with rem after every full and they just snuggle and enjoy each other. even before they get together (rem is so scared of ruining everything by confessing so he just holds it in bc he just loves siri so fucking much that it physically hurts him to even think of losing him.) anyways one day after the full they're chilling on rem's bed and siri just whispers i love you bc he needs to say it and they both just freeze. siri apologizes over and over and rem is just kinda stuck on the fact that siri actually said i love you?? to him?? and then he registers that sirius is crying so he just kisses him before he can think abt it. it ends well ofc. (i feel like these aren't rly headcanons and they're just little random stories but we're going with it for now lol)

☆ okay, this is weird maybe, but i think, you'd be awesome in a cartoon? that isn't even question-related… yeppp… i mean that in the nicest way possible btw!!! i think you're that mix of being sweet and cool that i associate with cartoon characters? okay… that's kinda dumb… my social anxiety/awkwardness is screaming at me… (what i mean is that i think you'd be awesome in a cartoon what leads to that maybe i'd ship you with a cartoon character? but i don't know enough about cartoon to give a character… i just kinda got that vibe…)

thank u!!! idk why but this is honestly rly sweet! cartoon characters r awesome so i absolutley love this thank u! u may have just made my day lol. (also the social akwardness is so relatable lmao) also a ship with a cartoon character? that sounds kinda interesting....lmk if u think of someone bc now im kinda curious lol. (i've never been in a relationship but im curious to see what cartoon vibes i give off and who u'd ship me with)

☆ my day was kinda boring… nothing special, but also very chilled…how are you doing? how was your day? :)

my day was pretty good actually! i hung out a friend's house (i haven't seen the friend in a while so it was cool to see them again) for a while so that was nice. although the misgendering was kinda annoying.... im doing meh. im rly anxious abt my upcoming presentation and also everything i've gotta do but i'm ok rn. how r u? ur day honestly sounds nice (i love lazy days so i may be biased lmao). I hope it was nice to have a relaxing-ish day tho.

thx so much for the ask btw!! ur sirius-ly awesome (ignore my marauders humor but i had to). <3

byeeeee!! <3

What I think Peter is like in a relationship:

Honestly I feel like Peter is one of the sweetest guys ever. You’d definitely have the least fights out of the Marauders. But let’s get started!!

- leading off of what I said earlier I think the only MAJOR fights you would have is of his insecurities; he would def be jealous of every and any guy but not because he doesn’t trust you it’s the fact that he doesn’t trust them and he thinks you’re too perfect and they’ll just steal you because they are “better than him”

- he LOVESSS baking and cooking just in general; he would love to just bake or cook with you to pass time it would be a regular occurrence

- I imagine him with one older sister and a single mother because his father left them so he’s very well aware of periods and all the girl stuff

- I also feel like he’s really close to Mary, Marlene, Lily and Dorcas so he knows the scoop of the drama and he’s a bigger gossiper than Sirius

- cat lover more than a dog but he loves dogs

- he’d be the type of boyfriend who would make you a bouquet instead of buying one

- he would want 2 kids but if you didn’t want kids then he would want 2 cats so you can still have some type of babies whether or not it’s a furry baby

- he’d have a crush on Dorcas as his first crush and then you forever and ever only

- he wouldn’t care what house you were in tbh or if you played quidditch

- if you were really good in school then he’d be really good in school for you just to impress you

- friends to lovers vibesssssss + love at first sight

- his favorite spot to kiss you (SFW) is your temple and his favorite spot to kiss you (NSFW) are your thighs and your hip bone

- his favorite spot to be kissed (SFW) is his cheek or the outside of his earlobe and his favorite spot to be kissed (NSFW) are his v-line and his collarbones

- back to the love at first sight mention; I totally feel like he would have a promise ring for you and have your guys wedding planned out immediately

- he’d bring you and your mom flowers

- ngl out of all the Marauders (yes including the girls) I feel like he’s the least scared of insects and would handle it for you; by handling it I mean taking it outside to the greenhouse and if he doesn’t get to it then he will be upset at Remus for killing it because he knows Sirius and James don’t get their hands dirty and he won’t let you do any dirty work

- he’d drop everything for you

- he hates the idea of being in a relationship only because Sirius and James are so insufferable and he knows he will be teased till he dies so the idea of being in a relationship with you is exciting and new but scary at the same time so he will start off as shy and distant but after a while you won’t be able to get him off of you

- king tbh he’d be jealous of girls crushing over you but insecure if guys crush over you (girls because he thinks they are obviously prettier and girls just connect better so bestfriends to lovers is the ideal ‘steal your bae’ factor)

Coming to the end………….

I feel like being in a relationship with Peter is soft and quiet. Little city, little hometown, little everything. He didn’t grow up with a big family so when he found you and the Marauders it was overwhelming. You soon find out that he prefers the peace of love and family rather than the chaos, he still LOVES the chaos but he loves the peace more than anything. His sister and mom made him feel so loved with just them two that he felt like that’s all family was. Everything to him needs to be small with the expectation of big Marauder schemes!! He’s the most simplest gentleman ever who just wants to shower you in love all the time. You’re a godsend and he knows it too well. If you wanted to blast your favorite artist for a 7 hour road trip, he won’t complain at all and gladly listen to you pour your heart out in screams (maybe for a bit but only as a joke) He’s the type of guy you would read with, either separate books or the same book while being cuddled up in bed. Waking up early? Hard time because he will just keep pulling you back in.

He’s a Joe Alwyn.

A/N: I made myself SOBB with the ending. Hope you enjoyed it!! Other Marauders are on the way😇😇

Pairing: Regulus Black x fem!reader

Summary: Regulus is gone and you don’t know where he is.

Tw: reader is nervous

Word count: 2359

~~~~~

‘Does anyone know where Regulus is?’ You ask as you walk to the marauders at the kitchen table. It was already noon and you hadn’t seen him since he came back from a mission yesterday evening.

You were in the hiding house of the order of the Phoenix. The war had died down by now. But you still lived together here just in case anything happened and also for financial reasons. Except James, Lily and Harry moved out and weren’t in the house tonight.

You and Regulus had been friends since your third year at Hogwarts so you helped him through the hard times; Sirius leaving home, becoming a death eater, and getting Salazar Slytherin’s locket.

You had discovered that Regulus was trying to find a way to stop Voldemort and helped with that too.

It had been a close call in the cave for both of you but by some miracle you had both made it. You had nightmares for weeks but slowly you were getting peaceful nights again.

‘Why would we know that?’ Sirius asks back filling his mouth with food.

You sigh looking around kitchen and the living room that were connected in hopes Regulus had walked in without you noticing.

‘Is something wrong? You seem stressed.’ Marlene turns to you and follows your gaze across the room.

‘I don’t know. That’s the thing. I haven’t seen him all day. And he’s not here, upstairs nor in the garden.’

The others gave each other quick glances. ‘I’m sure it’s nothing. Maybe he went out?’ Remus smiles comforting at you.

‘Why wouldn’t he say anything?’ His words didn’t calm you down. This was nothing like Regulus.

‘He’s a grown man, he’ll be all right.’ Sirius shrugs sure that his brother just went out like Remus said and would come back soon.

‘You don’t know him like I do. If he would go out he would tell me, or at least leave a note.’ The fact that he didn’t do both and no one knew where he was made you think and feel the worst.

‘Have you looked outside in the street? Maybe he went for a walk.’ Remus tried again.

‘No.’ You mumble thinking that did sound like Regulus. ‘Didn’t think about that.’

‘Come, I’ll come with you.’ Dorcas stands up and walks over to you.

‘Thank you.’ You follow her to the hallway. ‘I hope he is outside. I wouldn’t know what to do if he-‘ you stop halfway through putting your jacket on to shake your head at the thought of some lonely death eater killing him.

‘Don’t worry, darling. I’m sure we’ll find him right away.’ Dorcas holds the door open and you thank her again.

‘Is that his jacket?’ You turn around and look at the jacket Dorcas was talking about.

It was. His long black jacket he would always wear. ‘Yes it is.’ You look at the house, to the windows as if he would stand there.

‘We’ll just go for a walk. Maybe we’ll see him and either way you’ll be outside for a bit.’ Dorcas closes the door behind and nods at you to go first.

You walk to the park in the street. It was small but calm. Perfect to just rest for awhile or just be outside.

‘I’m sorry if it’s none of my business.’ Dorcas starts talking as you cross the street. ‘But I couldn’t help but notice you really care about him. Regulus. Regulus opened up to you so fast, we thought in fifth and sixth year you would get together.’

‘Get together?’ You glance back at her. ‘Where’d you get that idea? Me and Reg were close but I don’t think he was and would be thinking about stuff like that. And the first time he felt comfortable to talk was after a year and a half. So I wouldn’t say I had some magical connection with him.’ As you talked you looked everywhere but at the girl next to you. Somewhere hoping to catch a glimp of the boy you’re searching and avoiding Dorcas her gaze.

‘And you?’ You could just feel her smug grin. ‘How do you feel about him?’

‘I don’t think that’s very important if we don’t find him.’ You mumble as you turn and walk through the little gate of the park. It was already getting cold as summer turned to autumn and the breeze made you shiver.

If he is here, why would he leave his jacket at home? You think.

You start to walk faster and quickly get back to gate. No sign of Regulus. Dorcas comes to halt next to you. ‘Please, don’t say anything comforting.’ You turn to her.

She nods. ‘Let’s go back home.’

You immediately throw of your jacket the moment you walk into the house.

‘Where’s Reg?’ Sirius walks out of the living room.

‘I don’t know!’ You cry out. You were sick with worry. Your fingers grabbing your sweater and letting go. Your way of letting out your anxiety.

‘Stay calm. He can’t be gone.’ Sirius lays a hand on your shoulder.

‘Don’t tell me to stay calm! I have been the one looking out for him for years! I know him better than his own family! How he thinks, how he feels even when he’s faking it! I have been the one he comes to when something is wrong! Not you, not anyone! If he’s gone out than why the hell didn’t tell me?’ You weren’t screaming. You were on the bridge of crying. Just the thought of anything bad happening to your best friend was nerve wrecking and had you sick to the stomach.

‘I know. And I’m grateful that you were there for him.’ Sirius had backed away. ‘But right now-‘ he was interrupted by the front opening and Regulus walking in.

Everyone just stared at him as he turned around and froze at all the people looking his way.

‘Reg?’ You breathed out. Feeling numb as you looked the boy over. He just had his clothes on from yesterday as if he just came back from that mission. Except his jacket that he left here.

‘Y/N? What happened?’ He took in your stressed state and quickly walked over to lay his hands on your shoulders for comfort.

‘You. That’s what happened.’ You wanted to scream but at the same time were you too relieved to see his face. ‘Where the hell were you? I was worried sick about you! I thought you went out and got yourself killed for gods sake.’ You push him but it wasn’t even close to hard.

‘I’m sorry, I needed to clear my head.’ He clears his throat looking at the others. Even though you had been living with them for a year he wasn’t all that comfortable with all of them together. ‘Could I talk to you?’

‘Of course you can.’ You feel like you can breathe now that he’s back and the anxiety leaves your mind and body.

Regulus walks past you to the stairs. The others only watch as you follow him silently.

Regulus doesn’t go to his room but goes further to yours. He opens the door and doesn’t wait for you. He walks into the room as if it was his own and flops down onto the bed, feet neatly crossed underneath him. He grabs a pillow and lays it across his lap, picking at it as he waits for you to sit next to him.

‘What happened?’ You ask again, facing him.

‘Yesterday, I went with Sirius and Marlene to Dumbledore for that little mission.’ He stretches his right leg next to you and makes sure his trousers aren’t wrinkled to get some time before he talks again.

‘Reg, you can talk to me.’ You lean a bit forward to lay your hand on his arm. ‘Talk to me.’

‘We captured some death eaters and I knew one of them. Caius.’ Your grip tightens a little around his arm. ‘Caius Avery?’ You ask remembering him as one of Regulus’s old friends.

‘Yes, him. It brought me back home. Or you know, my old home. My family and at Hogwarts.’

‘I’m sorry, I didn’t notice there was something off when you came back. I don’t know why I did not.’ You felt guilty knowing he might have felt troubled and you never noticed it. Everyone here knew that even when Regulus came to your side he still had fears of his past.

‘I was all right by the time I came back. Only when I was in my room did the flashbacks come. Every shadow suddenly became my mother, my father, my cousin, Voldemort. I couldn’t escape them even in my dreams. So when I woke up I went out. I didn’t suspect I would be gone until noon. I hate getting flashbacks from things I don’t want to remember.’

You rub your fingers across the fabric of his shirt in a comforting manner.

‘Where’d you go for so long?’

‘My old house.’ He mumbles looking at your hand on his arm instead of meeting your eyes.

‘You went-‘ you stop as your voice is laced with concern. ‘Why did you go?’ You try your very best to make your voice calm and comforting.

‘I felt like it was something I had to do.’ He moves his legs to let them fall over the edge of the bed. ‘I had to see them and make sure everything is really over.’ You let your legs fall over the edge like his so you sit next to him.

‘And?’ You look sideways at him. His eyes are strained on the floor in front of his feet. His chest moving with every breath he takes before answering. His mouth opening and closing as he thinks.

‘Nothing. Only my parents and Kreacher.’

You intuitively take his hand at the mention of his parents. He leans against your arm as your fingers begin to rub comforting circles on his hand. ‘They’ve burned my face from the family wall.’

You look away and let your eyes fall to the stuff in your room. You wanted to tell him something. Anything. That it was better for him. But that sounded egoistic. They were his family after all. Instead you stay silent and lay your arm around his waist as a hug.

‘Do you want to go back sometimes?’ You wanted to ask that all the time. You knew you were the only one that he trusted here. Out of the others the longbottoms, Dorcas and Remus were the ones he felt more comfortable with. But he also lived with his brother again. And though they talk. Sometimes at least. There was still a tension between the two.

After awhile he shakes his head. You let out a breath at the movement. It felt selfish but you didn’t want him to go. ‘If there is ever anything that bothers you. Or you get upset and need to get away. I’m here with you. I’ve always said I would never leave you. I meant it. I felt going crazy when you were gone. When I didn’t know what happened. I was afraid you ran away and-‘ left me.

‘I would never leave without you.’ Regulus looks at you with a new found energy in his eyes. He looked sincere and open. ‘You’re like a part of me. If you would be gone-‘

‘I wouldn’t feel complete.’ You finish his sentence.

‘Exactly.’ He mumbles as he searches your face. You had leaned closer without realising it. ‘I was scared if I would admit that. I would regret telling you.’ He shifts so he’s sitting closer and more comfortable. You do the same and feel like your heart is going to explode but your mind is calm. Silent.

Regulus brushes your hair behind your ear and lets his hand lingers. ‘But now that I said it out loud it feels as if I just had to say it out loud to admit it to myself.’

‘Reg?’ You feel him move closer. ‘I love you.’ You say as your foreheads touch.

‘You stole my line.’ Regulus’s words made you smile.

‘Did I?’

‘Mhm.’ He smiles back at you. ‘Will you want to stay with me. As long as we are together?’

‘Didn’t I tell you a minute ago?’ You pull back a little to be able to properly meet his gaze.

‘I would like to hear it again. I wasn’t sure I heard you right.’

‘Oh, in that case.’ You take his hand in your hand without pulling it away from you. ‘You are the person closest to me, Regulus Black. I see you as family, as a part of my life. You would make me the happiest woman if you decided to stay with me.’

‘You steal the words right out of my mouth, dear.’ Regulus closes the distance between you. The kiss was soft and gentle. Regulus pulls back and places a kiss on your cheek. ‘I love you.’ Regulus says against your cheek.

You smile as you both sit on your bed in comfortable silence. The fear you felt a few minutes ago forgotten.

‘I don’t want to ruin this moment but I’m dying of hunger.’ Regulus says apologetic.

‘You just did.’ You pull back from him and grin. ‘But I’m too. Come on.’ You stand up and hold out your hand to him.

He looks at it and smiles accepting it as he reaches his hand out to take yours.

You walk downstairs. Regulus close behind you. ‘Is everything okay?’ Remus asks as you walk into the kitchen.

You nod. ‘It is.’ You glance at Regulus to see if it truly is. He smiles and takes your hand. ‘We came downstairs for some food.’

‘Left overs in the fridge.’ Sirius walks in from the living room. He glances at your intertwined hands and looks up at his brother. Regulus shoots him a daring look to say something about it before walking over to the fridge.

‘Did I miss something?’ Dorcas grins at you. You hadn’t noticed she stood behind Sirius.

‘Nothing that interests you.’ You grin back and walk over to Regulus.

‘So,’ Dorcas smiles at Sirius. ‘Where’s my money?’

He sighs and gives her five sickles. ‘Thank you.’ She says happy.

war tears lovers apart.

it had started with mary and lily. they didn't even manage to get out of hogwarts. lily, a warrior, a saint, and mary, watching from the sidelines, a sinner of some sorts, who had chosen to leave, who had chosen to flee, and maybe she had been a coward. maybe that was the mary lily was going to remember forever.

mary knew that that'd be the end of them. and still, she kept watching from afar, holding on, clinging to the hope that, once the war ends, their galaxy would open again, and that she'd see her sun again. maybe they'd reconcile, if not as lovers, then as a world in which they gravitate around each other, like stars in the night sky.

war kills lovers.

the first one to fall had been benjy. he disappeared sometime in march, and until april, he hadn't been found. they had looked for him, searched everywhere, and they had found him in surrey. the only way they recognized him was that dark brown mark on his arm, the birthmark that caradoc had loved so dearly. he had been torn apart, blood and flesh and bones, and only pieces and pieces of him found.

they never found his head. two words had been inscribed in his arm, with dark red. "you're next." james threw up. there was no funeral. two weeks later, under mysterious circumstances that dumbledore had known but never disclosed, caradoc joined his lover.

war kills lovers.

for them, it had started with marlene. she had been the first one that they really knew. others had been acquaintances, distant friends, that they had wept for and mourned, but marlene had been something entirely different, a shock to reality. they were all going to die. it happened quickly, in a rush, almost as if hadn't happened, but it burned in dorcas' memory until the moment they had died.

they said they had gone mad. they had tried to stop them, but they never succeeded. they had gone and killed, blood curling screams and pleas that sent shivers up their spine and made their blood boil, maybe that way, they would avenge her. but they thought of themselves too highly, they soared to unreachable heights. two months later, they had a little, lonely funeral, a baby crying in james' arms, and the old graveyard welcoming them with open arms.

war tears lovers apart.

remus and sirius had been the first to fall apart. maybe it had been because of their personalities, which blended in each other sometimes, and self-sabotaged, and hurt each other mercilessly, or maybe it had been just the influence of the war and the recklessness and the death, looming over their heads with a serpent and a skull and another funeral, another soldier.

they became reckless and angry and brash and, if it ever had any beauty, it had been the one of the waves crashing in the cliffs, foaming at the edges and spilling out and eroding, eating each other alive, burning each other up, until there was nothing left of either of them.

war had never been for lovers.
