#cause sirius was far better that their dad

[roach-works]

Hi!!!! I recently read When the Wolf Comes Home and I loved the premise the where the fic was heading. I know it hasn't been updated since 2017 so I was wondering if there was any intention of finishing it? I know it's possible you've moved on from that fandom and that is totally fine! If you are, would it be possible to share where you wanted to take the fic? Thank you, I absolutely loved your writing!!!

im a little stuck on that one because yeah i do sometimes noodle a little more on it and i had a pretty solid plot for the first year, after which i was going to be Very Firmly Done because so many rewrites attempt to take on the whole seven year span and founder on the complexity. but the problem is im really ambivalent and undecided on how much i want to participate in harry potter fandom at this late date, with JKR going mask-off nazi sympathizer. it's a weird situation where you can't argue for death of the author when the author is annoyingly alive and arguing that you should be dead.

im deeply reluctant to denounce people still participating in a fandom that i myself found incredibly fun and rewarding for, yknow, several decades of my life, and i don't think i'm better than them, just fortunate to be more interested in other projects.

but ambivalence towards the fandom and deep resentment towards the creator aren't really a productive headspace to actually write in, and i also don't want to finally work through my own doubts, finish another chapter, and then get my head torn off by people who are certain that i'm supporting JKR's toxic fuckwittery.

all in all it's easier and more rewarding to play with other fandoms and work on my many original projects.

where the fic was going:

as far as i remember, in When The Wolf Comes Home, draco was going to get his dad to hire lupin as his defense against the dark arts tutor and rent out the shrieking shack for the man to work out of, thus circumventing the curse on the DADA position and giving draco a werewolf mentor and independent bolt-hole.

quirrelmort was going to continue trying to figure out how to use or dispose of draco on his way to get the philosopher stone, a side-plot draco knew almost nothing about. draco would continue to try to maneuver harry into quirrel's way and snape out of his way, with indifferent success. harry and ron, lacking any voice of reason to temper their enthusiastic partnership of 'baby griffindors looking cool in front of their first real friend ever', would continue to believe that draco, the saddest wet puppy, was an evil monster and the cause of all their misfortunes. draco would continue to be the most mentally and emotionally unstable kid in the castle, taking all the heat off neville, who would end up looking fairly cool and collected by comparison. rita skeeter would feature somewhere in there, hired by narcissa to write little puff pieces on how tragic and brave draco was being about going to school with such a tragic disability.

remus lupin would end up with a full schedule tutoring DADA students about to take their NEWTs and OWLs and make a bunch of money. with lucius as his patron and PR agent, he would be accepted in hogsmeade as a dashing and heroic warlock who had been off having reams of secret agent adventures as dumbledore's key man in the muggle world. remus would not really know what to do with this but eat as much as possible and smile gamely when lucius showed him off to people.

eventually towards the end of the year quirrel would get rid of draco by orchestrating a fight between ron and draco where ron cut his fist on draco's teeth. this would count as a bite and draco would get thrown in azkaban and belatedly realize that he had completely and totally forgotten about sirius black's whole Saddest Wet Dog situation. sirius would do his best to take care of his tiny insane werepuppy cousin until the malfoys and longbottoms and weasleys combined to lever draco back out, using ron's ashamed testimony. draco would immediately turn around and reveal scabbers. the malfoys would end up looking like champions of truth and justice and the weasleys would, unfortunately, have to just stand there and smile gamely for the cameras.

while all this was happening harry would go after quirrel with hermione and neville and take him down. dumbledore would show up at the end, when voldemort was defeated and sirius was exonerated and several deep family feuds had been laid aside, to dispense twinkling paternal wisdom.

draco would kick him in the fork.

THE END.

if you are still doing ship game, thoughts on jily?

thank you very much, anon - i am always taking questions both on romantic ships and on characters' platonic vibes, the more unhinged the better.

although jily can't really be described in those terms, not least because their narrative purpose in canon is to be little more than blank canvases onto which harry can project as he goes through his series-long character arc, shedding his initial hero worship of james when confronted with the reality of his father's behaviour in order of the phoenix and starting both to fully appreciate lily's centrality to the course his life is taking and to see his dad with nuance as a real and fully-rounded person, flaws and all.

this narrative role means that the glimpses we get of them in canon feel kind of superficial - their bantering during snape's worst memory is basically high-school-teen-movie level, the snapshots of their life under lockdown in deathly hallows lovely and bittersweet but also just colour to a storyline which is already all of those things.

and this is not to say that i find jily uninteresting as a ship - i completely reject the common anti-jily position that they didn't really like each other, that they had nothing in common, or that their backgrounds made them incompatible [i'll expand on this below, but while i do think that their respective blood statuses and the impact of these on their relationship are worth thinking about, i loathe fics which portray james as chafing against his marriage because, as a pureblood, he'd be more comfortable with someone 'of his own kind'. this is bullshit, and there's far, far too much of it in this fandom]. my views on one of james' most frequent non-lily partnerships are well known, and i share the outrage many jily fans have for the way lily in particular is treated in a subfandom increasingly dominated by rigid fanon which prioritises giving depth to male characters [even if those characters are, in essence, oc's] and slash relationships over exploring the canon female characters, partnered or not.

but i do also find that a lot of jily falls into the same trap as much of the hinny i dislike - that is, a tendency to present as a sunshine-and-roses fairytale a relationship which is much more interesting if the things which canon implies [and which can be reasonably inferred outside of canon scenes from a canon coherent engagement with the text] might have introduced an element of dysfunction into james and lily's partnership are taken into account.

the shadow of the war is obviously one of these things. what role lily actually plays in the resistance is something which preoccupies me [she is never mentioned in canon to have taken a combat role - and i find it considerably more plausible that any attempt voldemort made to recruit her was at snape's request and connected to her potions prowess] particularly because, as we see in the way her death is memorialised in deathly hallows, the series regards the defence of the integrity of the nuclear family as a key aim for the good guys. how does she interact with james and his wartime role when she's pregnant, nursing, or in hiding for the vast majority of her time in the order? how does she feel about her husband being a soldier if she's behind the scenes?

indeed, what role james [and sirius] plays in the order is also something i'm obsessed with thinking about - not least because so much of the inherent tragedy of the marauders' storyline is caused by the fact that james and sirius think they're fucking invincible and that their plans to keep the potters safe are foolproof. it's entirely reasonable to read james and sirius as being pretty gung-ho about being paramilitaries - and my headcanon is absolutely that more battled-hardened order members didn't like them very much [moody does not, after all, seem massively fond of sirius] - and lily seems affected by this too [she's not holding her wand either!], and what they thought they were doing as 1981 rolls around is compelling to me.

james and lily's divergent backgrounds is also something i'd like to see explored more in fandom - not, as i've said, in the dull 'james should have married a pureblood' way, but in a way which deals with the fact that their relationship follows wizarding norms. molly weasley can blame the war all she likes, but [although i doubt this was jkr's intention] the evidence of canon is that witches and wizards marry and have children extremely young as a social standard, that couples generally don't live together before marriage, that divorce doesn't seem to be common, and that married women tend not to work. lily - a mother at twenty and, therefore, presumably married at nineteen - is coming of age, then, in a magical world which thinks about gender very differently from the muggle world of the 1970s, and i think that tension is worth exploring.

[similarly, the way in which her marriage is self-protective - lily gains a pureblood name and the social cachet which comes with it at a time when she's in rising danger on account of her birth - is something i think it's worth looking at when considering the pairing.]

there are other flashes of dysfuntion which i adore thinking about in relation to jily - lily's relationship with the other marauders [you can pry the reading that sirius resents her for stealing the love of his life - and i certainly don't mean lupin - away from him from my cold, dead hands]; how much of his misbehaviour at school james conceals from her; the fact that lily becoming more overtly interested in james from her sixth year onward must have a little bit of attempting to make snape jealous mixed into it - and whenever i stumble upon them in fics i say oh ho like horace slughorn and kick my little feet in the air.

i care rather less about 'we're so hot and flawless and not doomed' as a trope.

but i do stan james for beefing with vernon dursley even though lily told him to behave. the man really is just that annoying.

My Fandom Ocs

I was scrolling on tumblr and ended up seeing @mattmurdocksthighs (fantastic name btw) do this post showing off their ocs and I was like “I wanna do that” so here we are. No one asked for this but LISTEN- I don’t ONLY think about Mortal Kombat. And I’ll probably write about them at some point and get like, 2 cute lil like. I’ll keep updating this because my brain is always coughing up this shit. Their stories also got a lot of shit going on so I’m giving the very basic stuff so this shit ain’t too long. (Rereading this and the shit ended up long anyway). Last updated: 2/15/24

Kajsa Helvar

Universe: Six Of Crows

Related to: Matthias Helvar - Older Brother.

Sexuality: Lesbian

Love Interest: -

Faceclaim: Ivanna Sakhno

Summary: Kajsa is Matthias’s younger sister who is believed to be dead. She survived the village fire and was taken by Fjerdan officials to become an assassin (they got a bootleg Black Widow program. Shhhhh) for them since Druskelle take too long and are easily noticeable. After she finds out he’s alive, she leaves Fjerda and tracks him down but when she realizes his girlfriend is Grisha, she believes he’s being poisoned and wants to kill Nina. When Matthias refuses to let that happen, she thinks it’s too late and the only way to save his soul is to kill him. Will she succeed? Will they make up and undo her brainwashing? Who knows? Not me.

Marina Starkov

Universe: Shadow and Bone

Related to: and Malyen Oretsev - Dad. Alina Starkov - Mom.

Grisha order: Etherealki - Sun Summoner

Sexuality: Unlabeled

Love Interest: (I ain’t think that far ahead, ngl)

Faceclaim: Park Ji Hye

Summary: I was bummed we didn’t get the book ending with Mal and Alina so she was made. Mal and Alina did the dance as old as time when they found out Mal was the third amplifier and did not use any protection. This resulted in an accidental baby. Mal was at sea and Alina was married to Nikolai so they lied to the people of Ravka and said she was theirs. Mal only finds out years later during a random visit. Ngl, she was created for drama and scandal. I did not think her future through. All I knew was that she hated this Ravkan royal life and preferred to be with Mal and wanted more freedom. Typical princess shit.

Polaris Lupin

Universe: Harry Potter

Related to: Remus Lupin - Dad. And before y’all ask, her mom is black but she’s not a cannon character so I’m not putting her here

House: Ravenclaw

Sexuality: Lesbian

Love interest: Bounces between Luna and Pansy cause she loves a lil bit of toxicity. She get it from Remus fr

Faceclaim: Chandler Kinney

Summary: In my version, Remus is gay. I know fans debate whether he’s bi or gay, in this version he’s gay. He’s in denial and ends up hooking up with a female witch, and while that confirmed that he had to face the hard reality of another thing about him being different, her ass must’ve been listening to Usher cause she said she was three months pregnant and she was keeping it (some of y’all enjoyed that more than others and I’m ok with this). At first he wanted nothing to do with this kid but came around to the idea, which was real convenient cause her mom got killed by her own family. Guess we locked in for life now. She has his werewolf gene and is trying her hardest to succeed in school to hopefully make their life better.

Carina Min

Universe: Harry Potter

Related to: Sirius Black - Dad. One of my ocs I put in every universe is her mom. Don’t judge me.

House: Hufflepuff

Sexuality: Unlabeled

Love Interest: Fred Weasley

Faceclaim: Saerom from Fromis_9

Summary: Carina was born October 31st 1980, the year before shit went left. After Sirius’ imprisonment, her mom gave Carina her last name so she hopefully wouldn’t be connected to the Black family anymore. She is extremely sheltered and since her mom was raised after death eaters, she tries to shield her from everything wrong with the world, trying to give her the life she felt she deserved but obviously sheltering your kid as much as she did leaves them extremely codependent. Carina has always wanted for nothing and never had the need for ambition. She sees the world extremely black and white but when entering Hogwarts she finds out that’s not true and has to solve a huge question; who is she? She’s also a metamorphmagus like her mom but I didn’t know where to fit that.

Poppy Ejiri-Finstock

Universe: Teen Wolf

Related to: Bobby Finstock - Dad. Mom is a non cannon character. Not the same as Carina and Lilith

Creature: Werejaguar and Kitsune Chimera

Sexuality: Bisexual

Love interest: Isaac Lahey

Faceclaim: Serena Motola

Summary: Poppy was born a human with heart disease and because of this, she has constant medical attention. She lives with Coach in Beacon Hills and is friends with Isaac, Erica and Boyd and has no knowledge of the supernatural. When Erica and Boyd go missing, she wants to investigate which Isaac is very against since the alpha pack traumatized him for investigating and he’s a werewolf. All this secrecy puts a strain of their relationship and she only finds out about the supernatural when Stiles is possessed. Lucky for her though her mom is like “bring my child back to my house” and she goes to live with her, which is also encouraged by Isaac. She only returns in season 5 because she’s experiencing heart failure and wants more time with her dad and also because her mom needs to work more. Good news, they got a heart for her! Bad news, the Dread Doctors are around. She’s kidnapped, experimented on, deemed a failure, brought back by Theo but sided with Scott and stays apart of his pack.

Wren Hale

Universe: MCU

Related to: -

Sexuality: Pansexual

Love interest: -

Faceclaim: Devyn Nekoda

Summary: She is from the universe that Dr. Strange destroyed in “What If?” Her parents were two Shield scientist sent to find the Infinity Stones. They found the soul stone, her mom killed her dad and since she was a witch who specialized in power absorption she was able to absorb the stone. Unfortunately though, she was pregnant and after giving birth to her daughter, Wren sucked almost all the power out of her, leaving her too weak to even stand. Wren became a test subject immediately and this went unnoticed since in this universe The Avengers were never formed because Loki never came to Earth. She ended up absorbing the mind stone after it crashed on Earth and absorbed the rest of her mom’s power. Wren ended up clearing Natasha’s mind after a failed breach, killed everyone else at Shield and began her new life with Natasha until Dr. Strange got everyone killed. Instead of dying like everyone else, she was able to jump from variant to variant thanks to the two stones working together and now goes universe to universe killing Dr. Strange so he can never destroy another universe like hers.

Lilith Lokisdottir

Universe: MCU

Related to: Loki Odinson - Dad. Mom is the same as Carina’s. She AU hops.

Sexuality: Lesbian

Love interest: -

Faceclaim: Lucy from Weki Meki

Summary: Ok so, Lilith is the product of Loki and an enhanced Midgardian. She is born during the snap which means she never gets to meet Loki and instead has a fatherly relationship with her uncle Thor. She’s still kinda in development but my idea rn is that because Loki isn’t there to teach her magic, she’s sent with Wanda. Unfortunately Wanda made a little pit stop and Westview happened. She ages rapidly in the hex and plays Wanda’s adopted niece in her little show. Because of her own magic trying to protect her and fight against Wanda’s, when the hex goes down she still looks the age she’s grown into, but her brain didn’t age as fast which causes her judgment to be skewed. So instead of being the new Goddess of Mischief, it slips into chaos and destruction. Will she be healed? Find out next episode.

Claudia Moore

Universe: Twilight

Related to: Billy Black - Dad. Jacob Black - Older Brother. Rachel and Rebecca Black - Older Sisters. Non cannon character is her mom.

Species: Witch Shifter Hybrid

Sexuality: Bisexual

Love Interest: Paul Lahote (I don’t wanna hear about Rachel)

Faceclaim: Kiana Madeira

Summary: Going back in time Claudia’s mom was best friends with Billy and Sarah, Jacob’s parents. She really wanted a baby and the two volunteered to have Billy be a donor for her and she accepted. She had Claudia months after Sarah and Claudia and Jacob became best friends. Years pass and she’s friends with the kids on the reservation and has no knowledge about Billy being her biological dad. Then New Moon happens. Cullens leave, Bella drops her, and her main friend group including Jacob and her boyfriend seem to abandon her and it’s clear her mom and Billy know something and they aren’t letting her know what. After a huge fight with her mom she takes off this necklace her mom gave her that she said she enchanted so vampire powers would not work on her and has a tracking element. She runs off, sees Paul, the imprint shit happens and this triggers a change and after getting angry she turns into a jaguar bitch. So that necklace she got wasn’t just used to protect her from vampires and to track her location. It was also to suppress her shifter abilities. Now everyone thought shifters wouldn’t happen anymore and it was always sons, but her mom was like “imma just be careful”. It was like she had a protective bubble around her so that’s why the smell of vampires didn’t trigger her. When she took off the necklace that bubble was popped and when the imprinting shit happened it triggered her shifter gene. Basically saying “hey y’all can do this now! Hurry up to make up for lost time!” And that necklace wasn’t gonna work anymore. She’s a wolf not a jaguar because (I like it) it works differently for witches. In my head I have more lore for witches and how they used to assist the packs and also turn into animals but their animal would be a symbol of who they are as a person. The inside showing up on the outside type of thing. Maybe I’ll make a separate post rambling about it.

Minnie Thompson/Cullen

Universe: Twilight

Turned by: Carlisle Cullen

Species: Vampire

Special ability: Power mimicry

Sexuality: She just be living

Love Interest: -

Face Claim: Vanessa Morgan (specifically as Sarah Fox)

Summary: Minnie was born in 1906 to Robert and Mary Thompson and was soon followed by a younger brother named Joseph. Growing up, Minnie had a tendency to mimic others actions and predict what they’d do next, which was usually used to avoid conflict. This increased when her father started taking her hunting, which allowed her to gain the mindset of a hunter. She meets Carlisle when he’s volunteering to help the injured in her neighborhood and finds herself enjoying his company. Her brother dies of an illness and that plus other stress drives her father to attempt to kill his wife, Minnie and himself. Luckily she survived and was turned by Carlisle, who she’d grown close to by then. She was 18 and is the first adopted daughter he gets. Over the years their relationship went downhill because of multiple situations I don’t wanna ramble about here (maybe I will on another post), but it all comes crashing down when Jasper and Alice arrive. After finding out Jasper was a proud Confederate, she gets into an argument with Carlisle and says he has to leave. This leads to an ultimatum; they stay or she stays. Carlisle continues making excuses and she leaves. She has her own solo shit she’s doing but if we skip all that and look at the books, she’s an ally sometimes. She is still angry with them and keeps her distance but they reunite and there’s some of them she cares about and doesn’t want to die, which causes her to become a temporary ally. This is the best way I can summarize this. I have an embarrassing amount of lore in my head for her.

Medora Montgomery

Universe: PJO

Cabin: 10 - Aphrodite

Fatal Flaw: Recklessness

Sexuality: Demisexual

Love interest: I ain’t think that far

Faceclaim: Cascina Caradonna

Summary: She’s still a wip but as of right now her story is that she is from a wealthy family and her father despises Aphrodite for what she’s done. Growing up her father talked horribly about Aphrodite and made it seem like she is nothing more than a “whore goddess” with no real significance. She also has experienced being over sexualized like many other girls and it always being her fault has been drilled into her head. When she is sent to camp and claimed by Aphrodite, she hates it. She doesn’t hate her cabin mates but she, like others, mistakenly believe that Aphrodite only represents sex and she blames her for all the sexualization she’s faced. She is desperate to prove that she can be more and throws herself into situations that are way too big for only her to handle. She has to figure out what Aphrodite means to her, how to love herself as she is, how to get her inner light back and has to learn how to recognize that she is a victim and that creeps exist. It is not her job to make sure they keep their comments and hands to themselves.

Summary: The argument from my first storyline. Enjoy.

You decided it’s definitely time to tell your parents about your relationship with Cedric though you know what your parents are like and how protective they are over you. You walked down stairs in a very vintage but short dress.

The dress:

Low cut sweetheart neckline that elegantly exposés the bodies of your skin, small traps, the dress is black

Your papa looks up from the book he was reading at the table and eyes you carefully. Your dad places his cup down instantly and crosses his arms over his chest with a stern unimpressed look. As you fix yourself some orange juice you feel the gaze that your parents are giving.

“So puppy? Care to explain your plans for today?” Ah yes Remus is definitely the tactical one of the family and it shows now for example.

“Just out to see my boyfriend.” You said simply but you wish you didn’t cause all hell breaks loose. “WHAT!?” Both your parents say at the same time, forgetting your drink, you make your way to sit at the table knowing this isn’t going to be one of those easy conversation you normally have. “Whats the big deal? You and dad got together at my age?” You ask noticing that Remus looks at you with some understanding. “Darling our relationship was in very different circumstances-we found love in our darkest days-even then that was too young.” Your papa tries to reason.

In all honesty you have loved the story of your parents and how they found each other during their hardships and you always dreamed of having a romance story like that. “I know papa and you know I adore that story but I have found love and in even better circumstances! I have the two best dads I absolutely adore and grandparents, auntie and uncles that may not be blood but are more than one could be blessed with, but I want what you and papa have. I want someone who looks at me like I’m the only person in the room, someone who loves me unconditionally like I love them and that’s what I found!” You say only a tad bit giddy.

“No definitely not! Not now not ever!” Your dad says pacing up and down mumbling. You turn your attention in your papa who looks at a loss for words. “Darling I have to agree with your father-you are way too young and as beautiful as what you said is there is far too many things that could go wrong. Maybe in two yea-.” Sirius interrupted with a very dramatic response. “No Remus! You know we were too young back then and look where that got us? It got us Y/N at eighteen!”

Tears flood your eyes and Sirius knows what he said came out wrong and guilt washes over him. Remus gave Sirius a warning look before going to hold you in comfort but to his absolute horror you pushed him away. Looking at both of them you say before leaving the house. “I’m sorry I am a inconvenience to you dad.” With that you slammed the door which lead you to go to a party with your boyfriend for two and bit days.

End.

Until the End

A/n: here's what I wrote for the prologue. It's basically a summary of Y/n's backstory and a bit of history of what happened during the first wizarding war. I've published it both on AO3 and Wattpad so you guys can check it out:) The first chapter is a WIP so it might be a week before I publish it but yeah, here's the prologue<3

My name is Y/n Lupin-Black. I live with my dads and my cat in a cottage. You can say it’s one of my favorite places to be at.

Both my dads were part of “The Order of the Phoenix” during the first wizarding war. Which eventually led them to me.

They were on an order mission, they were supposed to meet with their informat for some new information that could possibly help fight Voldemort and his followers. But instead of being faced by their informant, they found me in a basket with a note.

“Keep her safe.” was all it said.

They met up with the informant a few days later and they said they didn’t know who I was or where I came from. They didn’t know what else to do with me other than take me in.

Even in the middle of the war, they decided to take in a baby they had no idea about. I was only a few months old at that point.

As the war became worse, lots of people started to go into hiding, specifically the Potters. They knew their son, Harry, was one of Voldemort's primary targets so they had to keep him safe. They made sure to make my papa, Sirius, the secret Keeper.

Things started to turn around when my uncle, Regulus Black, decided to join the Order. He told the order of Voldemort’s plans and revealed some very shocking news. Specifically the one about Peter Pettigrew’s betrayal to the order.

They cornered Peter and got him locked up in Azkaban. But the Dark side still had no idea about Regulus’s betrayal so he worked as a double agent.

One night, Sirius went on an order mission while Remus looked after me. Unfortunately Sirius was taken by a group of snatchers that ambushed the mission and took him to their headquarters.

I still don't know what they did to him to this day but they pried the Potter's location out of his mind and knew where the Potters were.

Luckily Regulus was there and warned the order and they managed to get to the Potters home to try and evacuate the Potters to safety. But they had arrived at the same time Voldemort and his cavalry did.

They fought within the Potter's home and at some point in the crossfire, Harry was hit. Fortunately, Harry didn't die and was simply left with a scar. A very cool scar, I might add.

During the fight, Regulus went on to the Death eater headquarters and rescued dad from their hold.

They managed to win the fight and defeated Voldemort once and for all. They arrested all the Death eaters and practically saved the wizarding world and the muggle world.

That was 12 years ago. I’m 13 now and going into my third year at Hogwarts. Through the years, everything had been full of chaos and mayhem. Some caused by me but many of them were due to Voldemort’s consistent attempts on coming back to life. Obviously each attempt failed horribly.

After the war, dad and papa moved to a small cottage far away from everything.

They lost a lot of people during the war and it left a big imprint in their lives. Dad says that Sirius has never been the same since uncle Reg got him back from the D.E headquarters. But he's gotten better over the years but he sometimes gets his episodes.

Growing up, the Potters visited quite often. I practically grew up with Harry and we were inseparable. Aunt Marlene and Aunt Lily would say we were the mini versions of James and Sirius.

Eventually we were introduced to the Weasley's and added Ron into our little group. But his older brothers who just happened to be a pair of twins had a special flair for trouble.

And how Aunt Lily likes to put it "Y/n is drawn to trouble the way a moth is to a flame". Can't say she's lying cause it's absolutely true.

The twins caught wind of my pranking streaks and ever since then, we became a pranking team. That was until they had to go off to Hogwarts. I spent my days at the cottage just reading and quizzing with Dad. Spending some time with Ron and Harry, along with Ginny.

When it was my turn to come to Hogwarts, let's just say it was a bit of a bumpy road. A certain professor with a purple turban who just so happened to have Voldemort at the back of his head, nearly killed us during our first year.

The following year after that, the legendary Chamber of Secrets was reopened and Voldemort's 16 year old self practically possessed Ginny for most of the year.

With the third year closing in, I'm simply praying that if there is going to be a life-threatening situation I'll be put in, may it be less dangerous than the ones before.

I like that you invision James as handsome beefcake majority of Hogwarts (and most definitely Sirius) had as a first crush.

But let's take it step further....James survives and raised Harry and poor Progslet had to deal with his dad being the DILF of his school year's (Lucius Malfoy wishes) and his classmates asking if his Auror dad is stopping by since Harry caused trouble again that year.

hehehe it’s a very indulgent headcanon, i have to admit. ash super believes in this but james’ was more of an approachable hottie whereas sirius was out of everyone’s leagues (and they all knew it) so it meant that a lot of people basically ended up crushing on james at some point in their lives. just like a casual ‘damn look at hin’ sort of a thing ykno? and he was so happy and charming and helpful that it just made the whole thing worse (or better?)

no ok but dilf james is such a fucking mood (have u seen that one art of dilf marauders? 👀) and i firmly believe that harry would be sick and tired of people lusting after his parents (either in a jily or prongsfoot or particularly, jilypad universe) like

‘oh yeah dad’s coming to pick me up’

‘oh i wouldnt mind being picked up by james potter’ *lecherous grin’ ykno?

Lucius Malfoy flicked a silk covered finger over his immaculate robes, adjusting the clasp minutely before stepping through the entrance. He stopped, briefly, as memories of being a carefree schoolboy assaulted his senses—the various smells of dinner laid out in the Great Hall, the warmth of the stone corridors that stayed so throughout the year, the overwhelming port sites moving around and talking. Lucius wasn’t one to reminisce, but it was hard not to in Hogwarts.

Once his momentary weakness had passed, he started a brisk pace towards his destination—the Dungeons. As he walked amongst the crowd of rowdy children—his Draco would never, he thought with an invisible shudder , looking at someone levitating a piece of gum up another’s nasal cavity—he began to note a sudden increase in whispers and glances. A quick glances around only proved his suspicion- it was him they were looking at. He suppressed a smirk at the look of awe and, dare he say it, appreciation lining many faces.

Lucius Malfoy was a vain man, he admitted it freely. He took great care of his looks and his body and while it wasn’t to impress school kids, it definitely didn’t hurt that such a picky group of brats liked it. He felt his chest puff up a little as he almost made it to the staircase. Maybe he’d invite Severus over for a drink tonight. He usually didn’t bother with the man beyond a professional relationship but the past few minutes had left him in good enough spirits to put up with him.

Suddenly, a boy stepped forward, mouth opening on a greeting. Dealing with these children was another thing Lucius didn’t like, but well, it’s the least he could do, right? He’s sure Draco would’ve mentioned him in a good light, and it’s no wonder they’re so impressed by him. After all, being Lucius Malfoy meant a great deal in the Wizarding World. Lucius had just started saying ‘He-’ when he was rudely interrupted by an unfortunately familiar voice.

“Cedric!” Lucius turned around and couldn’t help the sneer that lifted his lips at the sight of James Potter in all his uncouth glory. He was dressed in his Auror robes which should’ve made him look distinguished but the wrinkles, ill fitting muggle trousers, hideous boots and the visible holster only served to make him resemble a wind dried Hippogriff. “It’s been a long time, mate, how’ve you been?”

“All good, Mr. Potter. Do you—That is—Are you here long?” In front of Lucius’ incredulous eyes, the boy…Amos’ son?…ducked his head shyly as a red flush creeped up his neck. Something fell in place as Lucius noted the reaction, along with Potter’s friendly demeanour and affectionate smile. Another not-very-subtle glance around showed that all the eyes that had been on him so far had instantly snapped to the pair standing a few feet away. More than a few miscreants had their gazes aimed significantly lower than appropriate and this time, Lucius couldn’t help the low growl that escaped him at the realisation.

“Potter!”

“Oh hey, Lucy, didn’t see you there.” James Potter’s infernal grin looked personally designed to annoy him further and Lucius didn’t deign to respond—only stalked off with a pout sneer on his face.

#james potter #lucius potter #i know no one’s asking for these drabbles in the asks so i sincerely apologise #but y’all are giving me the best fodder and i’m taking max advantage #bc 1. need to break this writers block and 2. work on my drabble skills (currently nonexistent) #so pls excuse me while i do this lol #especially since u had literally 3 words in the ask that i ran with 💀 but i couldn’t help it #also the last line is a bit of a ~parallel #also lol i’ve never written a malfoy pov before. and lucius isn’t easy. so hope it worked #tumblr works #pen’s writing #pen’s asks

Harry teaches Sirius to Cook

This is a snippet from a much longer fic that I have yet to post.  Still, thought it was cute for Sirius and Harry Saturday. (Note Sirius has returned from the Veil as a sixteen year old because James and Lily sent him back to protect Harry).  

***

“So, what do you say to teaching me how to cook?” Sirius questions as he sits across from Harry in their sitting room where Harry is playing a video game that Sirius had immediately bought because he knew he had always wished he could play it when Dudley got to and he didn’t. It was raining and he’s looking for something to distract him from the fact that he’s stuck inside.  Despite having a lot more freedom to go outside and do whatever he wants in the last couple of weeks, every time he can’t go outside due to the weather, he starts to feel trapped and needs a distraction.

         What better distraction than focusing on non-mission bonding time with his godson?

         “You want to learn how to cook?” Harry questions.  “Why?”

         “Well, A) because I should be taking care of you rather than the other way around…”

         “You are!” Harry insists.  “You’ve been great with everything so far – particularly the fact that you got me away from the Dursleys – you gave me a home, you don’t need to do anything else.”

         Sirius laughs, “Fair, but my second thing was that I wanted to bond with you regarding something other than the mission.”

         “We’ve been bonding with other stuff – going on rides, going out with our new identities, and telling me stories about mum and dad… you’ve been doing great.”

         Harry’s praise has Sirius feeling like a good dog that made his owner happy, and he almost blushes, but instead just smiles.  “Okay, kid, you win.  I just thought it could be something else…”

         Harry pauses his game to turn to him, “I’d be delighted to teach you, I just like the idea of you keeping me around ‘cause I feed you.”

         Sirius laughs because he’s half-sure Harry is joking, “You don’t have to feed me for me to want you around kid.”  He ruffles Harry’s hair.  “Besides, we do have Missy, who’s been taking care of things.”

         “So, you tell me every day,” Harry blushes.  “I was only half-joking.  I know that you don’t need that.  I’m just… I kind of like the idea of … this being something I do for you...” he trails off and mutters something about ‘earning his keep’ which causes Sirius to frown.

         “What was that last bit, Harry?”

         “It’s not important,” Harry states.  Then because he clearly wants to avoid whatever he said, he adds, “You know, I learned that you liked crosswords from spying on the Minister when I snuck into Hogsmeade and almost got caught.  He mentioned it and the fact that you’re my godfather.”

         Sirius grimaces, he hadn’t realized that was how Harry had heard, he had hoped it had been Petunia or Remus.  “Oh kid, that’s how you found out?  At the same time that you also discovered what the world thought I did?”

         Harry nods, “I was pretty angry at you – it hurt to think that they were betrayed by their best friend and the day after Ron and Hermione had to talk me out of going after you.”  He pauses, looking down, “I wanted you dead – I am still surprised that I couldn’t do it after the things first and second year and then… I talked you into not killing Pettigrew and now…”

         “Hey, kid, it’s not your fault,” Sirius states, stopping him from thinking that he was responsible for the war just because he had stopped Sirius and Remus from killing Pettigrew.  “You did the right thing – if we had killed him, then we wouldn’t be here right now because I would’ve gone back to prison and that would’ve sucked for all of us.”

         “Yeah, true, but he –”

         “Is at fault for his own actions.  He chose to go after Voldemort and that’s his own damn fault.  It’s not yours.  You are not responsible for other people’s actions,” Sirius states.  “Otherwise, it’s really my fault – I could have gotten him from Ron sooner or Remus could have remembered his potion or something – it’s not on you, you made the right decision.”

         Harry shrugs, “I guess.”

         Sirius nods, slightly before giving him a look when he realizes that he had gotten distracted from Harry’s muttered words.  “So, kid, back to what you mumbled before…”

         “It’s not important – have you always loved the crossword or were you just bored because you’d gotten enough of your magic back?”

         “Kid,” Sirius states, giving him a look.  “I want to know what you said and then I’ll answer your question.”

         Harry sighs, clearly annoyed.  “Fine. I said that I wanted to earn my keep.”

         “What would make you think –” he stops, realizing that Harry likely cooks because it was one of his chores.  “That bitch. Harry, listen to me, you do not have to do any chores to ‘earn your keep’.  I take care of you – you don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to do – I don’t need you to ‘earn your keep’ any good guardian would never make you feel that way.”

         Harry looks up at him, surprised.  “So, you – you don’t want me to – to cook or clean and stuff?”

         “Only if you like to cook, but if you don’t then – that’s just fine. We’ve got Missy and we don’t need you to cook.  I thought you liked it – if that’s not the case…”

         “No, I do,” Harry assures him.  “I just also figured that I could earn my keep, too.  Make sure that I was worth it to you.”

         Sirius’ heart breaks at those words.  His godson should absolutely not feel like he has to earn his keep or make sure he’s worth it to Sirius because he was just for being Harry.  “Aw, kid, I’m so sorry that you felt like you had do earn it or something because you are worth it.  Just for being Harry, my godson.  You don’t – you never should’ve had to feel that way.”

         Harry frowns, “But you – you wouldn’t let me pay for anything and you bought me all these things…”

         “Things that you should’ve had from the get-go and things that you deserve. Things that I should’ve provided for you a long time ago.  You deserve so much better than this, Harry.”  

         Sirius is upset by the revelations, determined more than ever to make sure that Harry feels love and gets to have the best summer of his life.  

         Harry nods, uncertainly.  “Thank you, Sirius.  You – you have done so much for me, and I appreciate it.”

         “And you deserve it, you know that right?”

         “I do now,” Harry assures him.  “And you know if you’re … if you wanted to learn how to cook so that we’re doing something together instead – I do think it’d be cool to show you.”

         “Yeah?” Sirius questions, liking the idea.  “Because I think we could make it fun – even make a huge mess that Missy will enjoy cleaning up.”

         Harry grins, “It’ll be nice to have that rather than being the one that has to do the cleaning up.”

         “Good. Then let’s do it.”

***

         The kitchen was a mess.  They’re both laughing their arses off about the fact that they are both covered in flower and somehow managed to get it everywhere.  

         “Is this really how you make biscuits?” Sirius teases.  

         “It’s not my fault,” Harry jokes, flicking some flower at him.  “You’re the one that took the mixing bowl from me trying to show off your lame mixing skills.”

         “They’re not lame!” Sirius insists, laughing.  “How hard is it to mix ingredients together?”

         “Judging by the state of the kitchen – very hard.”

         “Cute, kid,” Sirius states, still smiling.  “Maybe we should try something simpler.”

         “I picked something that I thought was easy to teach you – you didn’t you say that you used to watch dad cook?” Harry questions.

         “I did,” Sirius states.  “It’s just – I didn’t memorize how he did it… besides you’re the teacher here.”

         Harry laughs, “Are you saying that I’m a bad teacher because I’ve got some references that say otherwise.”

         Sirius laughs, “I suppose you do… maybe you’re better at teaching DADA than teaching me to cook.”

         “Maybe I had better students,” Harry teases, flicking more flower at him. “But seriously, we can try again? Maybe try cooking dinner instead?”

         Sirius grins, “Sounds brilliant.  Let’s get Missy to clean this up first.”

         Missy appears and it’s clean within moments.  

         Harry laughs, “Wow, I love magic.”

         “Me too,” Sirius states.  “I have certainly taken it for granted, but I love it.  Makes life easier.”

         “Definitely.”

         Once they’re both back on their feet, Harry says, “Let’s cook something simple – pasta with meat sauce and garlic bread.  Since I like homemade sauce, we can make a whole pot of it and then whatever we don’t eat we can save for later.”

         Sirius grins, “Sounds good, Chef.”

         Harry laughs, “I’m not a chef, I just … happened to enjoy cooking.”

         “I’m glad you managed to like something that you had to do.”

         “Me too,” Harry states, before pulling him to beside the stove. “So, cooking a new sauce from scratch is going to take some time.  We start breaking up the ground beef into this large saucepan with the onion, garlic and green pepper until it’s all cooked.  It’s only going to take a few minutes.”

         “And then what?”

         “Well, then we’ll put it in a nice pot with tomato sauce and a few other flavors and simmer it for a while, cooking it nice and slow.”

         “Alright then,” Sirius shrugs.

         Harry smiles, “And once we feel like we’re close to having it ready, we’ll boil some water for the pasta and cook it.  It’s the easy bit and we’ll turn on the toaster oven for garlic bread.  We can spend some time mixing the ingredients for the garlic part of the bread in the meantime.”

         “Okay, sounds good.”

         A little while later, the sauce is starting to finish, so Harry puts on the pot of water and turns on the toaster oven.  He helps Sirius coat their garlic bread before offering him a taste of the sauce.

         “What do you think?”

         Sirius smiles, “I think you’re a good cook.  How do you know it from memory?”

         Harry smiles, “I didn’t really get to keep many things that I liked – they weren’t big on me being happy.  So, I had to think about it and sort of get the idea of it without help.”

         “Well, you did a great job,” Sirius praises.  “Because this is really good.”

         Harry preens under the praise reminding Sirius that Harry hasn’t gotten a lot of praise growing up and that he should do it more often.  “Thanks, Sirius.”

         It’s quite for a bit before Sirius says, “Oh, look, the pot’s boiling.”

         “Right, so we take a fistful of the pasta and break it in half like this and put it in the pot,” Harry says as he breaks the pasta and puts it in the pot.

         Sirius smiles as he, too, grabs a fistful and does the same.  Then he watches as Harry puts the garlic bread into the toaster oven.  “The pasta usually takes twenty minutes so we’ll have some time before it’ll be done – we just have to watch it, stirring it and such.”

         “And what would you like to do while we’re waiting?” Sirius questions.

         “You could tell me more about your crossword habit?” Harry probes, clearly caring enough to get to know Sirius more than as his protector, which makes Sirius smile.

         “Well, I – I was always curious and sort-of needed distractions sometimes, and I stumbled across the crossword.  Suddenly, it kept my attention for a while and helped me a lot. It’s like it gives me a focus away from my other thoughts sometimes.  You know – like needing to forget about my mother’s howler or my brother’s distance at school.”

         “Oh, that makes sense – I used my broomstick servicing kit that Hermione bought me for my thirteenth birthday to distract me from Marge’s tirades about me or my parents when she visited… it didn’t work the last night though.”

         “That’s the night I saw you?” Sirius questions.

         Harry nods, refocusing on the sauce.  “It was – I had enough.  I accidentally blew her up.  I thought I was a fugitive because Dobby had gotten me into trouble the year before… it was a mess, but it worked out.”

         “Hmm-mm,” Sirius hums.  He can tell that Harry doesn’t want to go into the details and he won’t force it.  “Well, yeah, like that.”

         “So, then, we should get you some more crosswords – muggles have entire books of them, so you don’t have to get them just from the paper,” Harry offers.

         “But wouldn’t they include muggle things – things that I wouldn’t know.”  Harry frowns, looking upset that Sirius didn’t like his idea, so he adds, “But you know, it would be great to learn.  We could do them together?”

         His offer is rewarded with a grin, “Don’t worry, you’ll know lots of muggle things by the end of the summer!”

         Sirius grins, “Good, I look forward to it.”

         “Dinner’s done,” Harry states after a minute.  “Time to eat the delicious meal we cooked.”

         “Good. Thank you for teaching me, kid.”

         “Anytime,” Harry replies with a grin as they settle down to eat their delicious homecooked meal.

Hello again friend of a friend,

When I was in 8th grade watching teen wolf, I vividly remember a scene that will never fade from my memory. The main character, Scott, was trying to help someone who was going through immense physical pain and he discovered as part of his super natural abilities he could transfer the pain to himself by touching them. I still see the scene in my mind: he lays his hand on the patient writhing in pain and slowly the thick black metaphysical pain courses through his veins, cause him to equally start writhing in pain but he stays strong so that the patient would be ok.

I have a similar quote from Tokyo Ghoul that stays in my soul, “It’s better to be hurt than hurt others”

Is it wrong to always want to ease the pain of others. If there is a small something I can do to make someone else’s day a little better, that I will try to do it. I guess it becomes dangerous when I’d rather do that than do something that would make my own miserable day better. But the feeling of being good does make mine slightly better. I’ve always over idealized the character that takes on immense pain but never shows it. Angel Dust from Hazbin, Sirius from the marauders fandom, Jude from A Little Life, Crowley - good omens, my mom and my dad (I guess they still are my hero’s after all). I used to try so hard to rid this world of pain by taking as much as I can on myself. It’s not fair that other people have to suffer when I can do something? when I’m not suffering enough?

when I’m not suffering enough. What’s enough? It never is enough, because the perfectionist that I am deserves all the suffering. It’s not fair other people get to suffer more. I want it. I want to see if I can handle it, because I usually can. I guess that’s one of the qualities I like about myself - now that I have autonomy I want to keep pushing my limit, how far can I go before I combust. How long can I keep up this act? How long can I not be myself.

i was going through blogs and saw an old hp meta and i mostly respect that person's opinion so i went back and reread the last 2 books and that was fun and now i have so many feeling i need to let them out

-the main one is that i don't hate snape? like he's an asshole for bullying kids but after seeing his entire life flash before my eyes there was no room for anything but pity. mind you not the aw poor bb pity but the damn life really is a bitch and then you die. like your family's shit and you're ugly and everyone hates and you can't let go so you end up perpetuating the abuse cycle and there's no redemption. you failed, the end. kinda amazing tbh that she wrote him like that i.e a brave dude who managed to do the right thing after he ruined everything but also a thoroughly unpleasant human being till the end.

p.s: is he even a bad teacher? most of his students pass, his detention is scrubbing pots and he makes mean girls tier remarks. Meanwhile the good guys send children to the forbidden forest and expose them to dangeorus animals without protection lmao

+ the always~ line is overused and criiiinge just like the ship itself. The real goat line is ''And my soul? Mine? It cut me deeply cause i was also dumbledore's (wo)man's through and through and i didn't care about his hitler boyfriend and his secrets and i even went as far as to make a note in the book (the only note) to plead with harry not to doubt him. and he was the only thing remotely close to a friend snape had cause he was the ony one who knew the truth but he did use him cause he wanted to save harry and the world and even fucking draco and it just sucks, it all suuuucks

++and it's not like draco got a redemption, his entire family was dogshit and still got away with everything. i felt this so hard cause thanks to churchil the nazi collaborators in my country never got their comeuppance so their descendants also hold positions of power now and keep eroding our democracy

+++still can't believe the one that got rehabilitated was kreacher, like i hated him so much for sirius but hermione was kinda right. and it was so sad when he must have waited and waited for them to show up and eat that kidney pie

-i remember i hated how my precious perfect hermione ending up with he's just ron but this time i didn't care much. his rapid fire cool AND considerate moments in the battle were very forced in my opinion and a little too little too late but eh whatever as long as she's happy.

+i think it's cause as a kid i wanted her with harry but now he was kinda annoying, idk he can be a pretty annoying kid. i mean it makes sense considering what the poor child had to got Through. But also he's basically the messiah with his love spiel and dying for everyone and i'm sitting here with my hurt cheek and a core that craves a proportionate justice that doesn't exist.

btw i'll never understand people who still complain about albus severus. it's a shit name to be sure but if you spend 7 years with harry it should be obvious this is a 200% in character thing to do.

++adulthood is realising krum was the best and deserved better and we deserved better instead of unrepentant asshole malfoys

-i still hate ginny and molly. molly was poor but had seven kids and the only one who would always get the short end of the stick was ron. it was just so pitiful with the wand, and the cloak and the rat. and she was so obsessed with being harry's mom she got pissed at sirius for being the cool dad (dude had his issues too obviously but they should have met in the middle) and she thought the sun shined out of harry's ass so she froze a teen girl she knew cause of something she read in the Sun. Kinda hated how she got the bella kill too

ginny went from nobody to best at hexing AND sports AND doesn't cry AND she's so hot everyone wants her and lmao what kind of cardboard dating game self-insert is this?Her sense of humour has asuch a mean streak too. And the way they treated fleur argh I felt like i was in an aita about the stereotypical evil mil and sil. and the people who say it was mutual cause fluer was snob? yeah she was and i ripped her one too when she looked down on my favorite chaotic magic murderschool but they weren't bullying her because of that? they were being mean cause they were jealous she was beautiful and men went gaga, because they thought that meant she was shallow and of course she wasn't good enough for their son/bro

and the trashiest thing was when they made fun of accents. these people who only knew english and had never tried learning any other languages! like come on dude

-i had forgotten how hedwig dies aaaaaaa i still can't believe it was so fast and then nothing it still hurts...

Loyalty’s | R.B

Paring: Regulus Black X Potter!Fem!Reader

Summary: Instead of Regulus obeying the Dark Lord his loyalty’s lie with his girlfriend and becomes a spy for the Order.

The house was quiet. That was rare, especially after Fleamont and Euphemia took in Sirius Black. James and Sirius were like brothers, always causing mischief inside the manor while the younger Potter kept to herself more. Y/n Potter was only a year younger than James but was just as loved. Sirius Black became her brother just as much as James was, along with the other two Marauders. Unbeknownst to her brother - brothers if you will - she had been dating someone since her fifth year.

Y/n was in her seventh year while James and Sirius had graduated. James had already married Lily, and the war was raging on. Y/n was home for winter break. The Potter residence was to its fullest capacity. Remus and Sirius staying in the guest bedrooms. Y/n staying in her bedroom. James and Lily in James’ room. Fleamont and Euphemia had their master bedroom as well. It was dark outside, and all the young adults were in bed when a knock echoed on the door.

Fleamont held his wand tightly in his right hand as he approached the door. Euphemia was present at St. Mungo's for the night, and Fleamont was waiting for her to return home, but she never knocked. Hesitantly he made his way to the door and flung it open. Instantly Fleamonts wand made its presence known on the male's neck. The male had wavy black hair, grey-blue eyes, and sharp features. Resembling Sirius Black almost perfectly. The man gulped at the wand placed pointed at his throat.

“Sirius! James!”

Footsteps, “Yes, Mr. Potter?”

“ What’s up, dad?”

Both young adults focused on the man at the door, “No….” Sirius whimpered.

“What are you doing here!” Sirius yelled in distress, “Security question, Sirius.” Fleamont scolded.

“Where was my favorite place to hide when we were kids?” Sirius questioned, “Under Uncle Alphard’s cherry blossom tree.” He replied.

Fleamont didn’t back down, “What are you doing here?”

“I didn’t come here to see Sirius.” The man stated, “I came to see Y/n.”

James and Fleamont tensed, “What do you want with my daughter?” Fleamonts voice was stern and rigid.

“I-“ He swallowed, “I need to speak with her, please.”

“Regulus… You don’t know what you’re doing.” Sirius commented, “Please, Mr. Potter.” Regulus begged.

“James-“ Fleamont ordered, and James stood tall, “Go get your sister.”

He didn’t need any further instruction and woke his sister up, bringing her downstairs. There Y/n saw her father's wand to his neck. Before throwing her arms around him, she needed a security question. The pleading look in Regulus’ eyes broke her heart to pieces, but a war was going on.

Y/n’s heart raced, and her palms felt sweaty, but this was a question only he’d genuinely know, “When- When did we start dating?”

“November 16, 1976.”

“Reggie!” Y/n whimpered, throwing her arms around him.

Regulus held her back with the same amount of pressure. Holding her tight to his chest and never wanting to let go. The smell of her shampoo resonated in his nose and the faint breathing from her nose rested on the crook of his neck—a feeling he never wanted to lose. The world seemed to have stopped at that moment. Christmas break had been hell for Regulus so far, but now he felt hopeful.

But people were watching, and James snatched Y/n back, “Dating?! Are you bloody crazy?!”

“James-“ Fleamont began but was hastily cut off, “No, dad! She’s insane! Regulus is one of them! He’s a bloody death eater!” James exclaimed.

Sirius snapped, “He’s still my brother, ya’ know. If he’s here, then he’s defying mother’s orders. Let him talk.”

“C’mon. Everyone in the kitchen.”

The table was relatively large. It could seat eight. Fleamont took his usual seat at the end of the table. James sat on his left and Sirius on James’ left. Regulus sat in front of James and Y/n in front of Sirius. Regulus couldn’t face his brother at the minute because Sirius’ proud eyes were going to turn into disappointment soon enough.

Regulus held Y/n’s right hand tightly, “Lift your sleeve.” Fleamont ordered.

The younger Black brother obeyed; there it was; on his left forearm, “So it’s true. You obey the Dark Lord.” Fleamont commented.

“Dad please-“ Y/n began.

“No.”

Heads turned, “No?”

“No. I bare the mark, but I don’t obey.” Regulus stated coldly, “My loyalty’s lie with Y/n. She’s told me about the order, and I want to be your spy.”

James ran his fingers through his hair, “You told him! Y/n!”

“James, come off it!” Y/n scoffed.

“You want to be a spy for the order?” Sirius repeated, and Regulus nodded, retaking Y/n’s hand, “Yes, but there’s something I need to tell you all. Something I’ve found out.”

They leaned in, intrigued, “The Dark Lord has horcruxs. He’s split his soul into multiple different parts. I know where one of them is.” Regulus informed.

“How did you find this out?” Sirius inclined, “I told you, my loyalty’s lie with my girlfriend - you know, the girl I plan to marry - I’m a spy. Not a pawn.” Regulus countered.

James coughed, “You are not marrying my sister.”

“I’m afraid that isn’t your call.” Y/n retorted, crossing her arms, “Cut it out both of you.” Fleamont scolded.

“We’ll have to come back to you on whether or not you can join. However, you can stay with Y/n in her bedroom for the time being.” Fleamont informed, and James gawked, “Absolutely not! Sirius and Regulus can share. I don’t want him near her.”

Fleamont turned his head slowly towards his son, “James Fleamont Potter-“ He began in a low tone making James stiffen, “Y/n and Regulus will share a room. If he is stupid enough to try something while in my house, then I’ll be damned.”

“Remus, Sirius, and you will only be a room away. Hopefully-“ Mr. Potter turned to Regulus, “He knows better than to try something.”

“With all due respect, sir, I’d never purposely put Y/n in any way of danger. That’s why she didn’t know about the horcruxs.” Regulus stated, and Fleamont looked pleased, “We’ll work on it. Now, all of you, back to bed.”

When the four of them reached the hallway upstairs, James grabbed Regulus' collar, “We need to have a talk.”

Without another word, Sirius, Regulus, and James stepped into Sirius’ bedroom, knowing Lily was asleep. Hopefully, Remus was too. Y/n gave an audible sigh and walked into her bedroom. She was slightly organizing it and grabbing clothes that she had stolen from Regulus back at Hogwarts. Thankfully she made out. Y/n had one of Regulus’ hoodies and pair of sweatpants. Twenty minutes later, Regulus walked into the room.

“Um- I- Here.” Y/n stuttered, handing him the clothes, and he quietly changed, “I’m sorry about James.”

“No need for you to be sorry, love.” Regulus replied as he slipped on the sweatpants, “I know he’s protective. I’ve also got the mark.”

Y/n stood up and embraced him tightly, “That mark doesn’t make you a monster.”

“It makes me feel like one.”

“I know, but-“ Y/n pulled away slightly, looking him in the eyes, “Did you mean what you said out there?”

“Mean what, my love?”

“That your loyalty’s lie with me?”

Regulus smiled, “Of course, I did.”

The following days went by quietly. Regulus wouldn’t speak about the confrontation with James, but Y/n didn’t mind. But she didn’t miss the glares James sent his way every time he’d get close. Strangely enough, Remus was the most protective over her. Euphemia had been hospitable in his stay, providing for him as she did Sirius. It wasn’t until Christmas Day when Regulus got the news.

They all sat together in the sitting room, “You’re approved.” Fleamont stated.

“Pardon?”

“You can be our spy. Dumbledore believes the information you’ve given us is worthy of trust.”

Sirius could’ve cried out of joy, “Oh, Reggie.”

Both boys hugged for the first time since they were kids. James smiled fondly at them. Happy for Sirius that he got his little brother back. The boys sat beside each other. Sirius had his usual Sirius-like smirk placed upon his face. The same smirk he had before he made a joke.

“Seems like all it took was the Potter charm.” Sirius nudged Regulus’ elbow, making him blush, “Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Potter, for letting him stay. It means a lot to me.”

“You know Mum, always taking in strays.” James teased, “James Potter!” Euphemia scolded with a bright grin.

Y/n shrugged, “He’s not wrong.”

“Y/n!”

“Sorry!”

“There’s an envelope under the tree for you, Regulus dear.” Euphemia commented before leaving into the kitchen, and Regulus stiffened, “It’s a present, not a howler.” Fleamont added, making him relax.

Regulus’ fingers reached for the green-colored envelope. Inside laid a paper in both James and Fleamonts handwriting. The paper inside made him gleeful. It was possible the best Christmas gift he could’ve ever received, and Regulus was a spoiled baby at the Black manor.

“You have my permission to marry my daughter.” -F.P

“Take care of my sister, or I’ll have your head!” -J.P

Mystery Moon

Male Reader x Cedric Diggory

Request - Fic request: Cedric Diggory x male reader, whos the son of Sirius Black. But him finally telling Cedric afterwards they’ve been dating for a while cause he wants him to meet his dad?

You heard that Cedric got hurt during the Triwizard Tournament. You panicked and you went to see your boyfriend in the nurse's room. His friends are by his side and Cedric has a broken arm. You left and you waited a while in your dorm room. You didn't keep track of time, but it already turned nighttime and you went to see your boyfriend.

“Hey” Cedric smiled.

“Hey. How are you feeling?” You said.

“I’m feeling a little better. I saw you come earlier than you left” Cedric said.

“Your friends were all here, so I left for a little while,” You said.

He smiled “I'm glad you're here. I got snacks and I can't eat them all by myself. Care to join me, y/n?”

“I can't say no to your cute smile” You smiled.

You and Cedric start to eat the snacks together. He starts to tell you how he broke his arm. You stayed for a while then the nurse told you to leave because it was starting to get late. He wanted to kiss you on the lips but he couldn’t. Nobody knows that you’re Cedric’s boyfriend. You and Cedric are not ready for everyone in the school to know about the relationship. You have been his boyfriend for a year now, you're happy with him.

“I will see you around, Cedric,” You said.

“Bye,” Cedric smiled.

He watched you walk away and he couldn't stop smiling.

--

The next day, you are at the library looking for a book. Cedric sneaked up behind you and he scared you. You jumped and your heart is racing and he is laughing, you smacked his arm.

“Jerk,” You said.

“Sorry, love I couldn't help myself” Cedric giggled.

“You are still a jerk. You gave me a heart attack” You said

“Please forgive me” Cedric smiled.

He kissed your cheek and you tried not to smile.

“No,” You said.

“I know you forgive me” Cedric smiled again.

You and Cedric leave the library. You and Cedric have a secret place to be alone and it's a bit far from the school. You are lying on the grass and Cedric is on his side and has his hand on your chest.

“You are cute,” Cedric said.

You smiled and he leans in slowly, you feel his lips on your lips. He starts to kiss you and you put your hand on his cheek, you don't stop kissing him. The kiss gets heated but it doesn't go further.

“I want you to meet my dad,” You said.

“Really?” Cedric asked.

“Yeah. I think we are ready for that next step. If you don't want to it's okay, I will understand” You said.

“Does your dad know about us?” Cedric asked.

“I told him, I have a boyfriend but I didn't go into details about you in the letter. He said that he wants to meet you, so maybe you stay with us on the weekend?” You said.

Cedric starts to think and you wait for his answer.

“Okay, I will meet your dad,” Cedric said.

“Realy?” You asked.

“Yeah, I mean it. I will be okay your meeting your dad” Cedric said.

“That’s great” You smiled.

He kissed you and you start to smile.

✯ ✯ ✬ ✬

Cedric is feeling nervous about meeting your dad. It took him a while to pick out an outfit because he wants to impress your dad. You did the secret code on the brick wall and it starts to open, now you and Cedric are in Diagon Alley. Before going to see dad, you and Cedric picked up a few items then you went home.

“You can breathe, Cedric. He is not going to make you take a test” You said

“Y/n, I want him to like me. If he doesn't like me then we can't be together” Cedric said.

You smiled and grabbed his hand.

“I’m nervous too. I know he will like you and you just have to be yourself” You said.

“Okay, I'm ready,” Cedric said.

--

Your father hugged you tight and you missed him. You introduced him to Cedric and Cedric is speechless that he is your father because everyone knows who is Sirius Black.

“Y/n why you didn't tell me he is your father,” Cedric said.

“I don't go around telling people who is my father, it's no one's business,” You said.

“Y/n does like to keep certain situations private. Cedric, so you're the boy who won my son’s heart,” Sirius said.

“I-I...” Cedric starts to stutter.

“Calm down, I'm not the police. Let's eat” Sirius said.

“Yeah, let's eat,” You said.

You watch your father and Cedric getting along with each other. Dinner went well and you smile at them. Later, Sirius gives Cedric a tour of the house.

“I do have one rule,” Sirius said.

“What is it?” You asked.

“You and Cedric can't sleep in your bedroom. He would sleep in the guest room, I have set up extra blankets and pillows for his comfort.

“Dad, really?” You said.

“I am very serious, y/n. Cedric, I will show you to your room” Sirius said.

Cedric followed him to the guest room, it's two doors down from your bedroom. Sirius went downstairs and Cedric went to your bedroom.

“So this your bedroom,” Cedric said.

He starts to look around and you are sitting on your chair.

“What you thought my bedroom would look like?” You asked.

“I don't know, I always tried to imagine how your bedroom will look. In my bedroom, I have trophies, family and friends pictures, books, and a desk” Cedric said.

“Now I want to see your bedroom” You smiled.

He moved closer to you, he leans in and he was about to kiss you. But your father’s raven flew in the room.

“Ugh” You whined.

“What?” Cedric asked.

“My dad’s raven is on the window,” You said.

“Oh,” Cedric said.

--

You watch your dad and Cedric bond together with magic. He is teaching Cedric a few magic spells and Cedric is having a good time.

“So, I see you're getting along with him,” You said.

“He is a nice boy, y/n,” Sirius said.

“You're okay with the relationship? Dad, I like him” You said.

“Y/n, I can see that he makes you happy. I support the relationship. Y/n, get changed because we are going to Diagon Alley” Sirius said.

“Okay, dad,” You said.

While in Diagon Alley, Cedric bought you a ring and you liked it. He smiled and watched you put on the ring.

“Thank you, I love it” You smiled.

“I’m happy you like it, y/n. Do you want to get something to eat?” Cedric said.

“Yeah, my dad is talking to his friends so it will take a while,” You said.

While you and Cedric are eating lunch, Fred and George Weasley joined in. You and Cedric get along with Fred and George. Fred and George start to talk about the pranks they did to Ron and Harry.

[achilios]

out of context quotes that are (a) hilarious (b) ominous (c) both at once (from survival is a talent by @shanastoryteller )

(years 4-5, potential spoilers ahead?? maybe?? i’ll add an asterisk (*) to quotes that i think may be spoilers)

( * = possibly a spoiler ; ** = mild spoiler ; *** = kind of a big spoiler )

this was originally supposed to be for harry only, because his character in this fic is absolutely amazing and sarcastic and generally hilarious, but then the list somehow Grew, so!

harry:

"Millicent, thank merlin, has a trust fund and that’s it, and thinks the rest of them are insane[...]she’s a great barometer for when something’s a pureblood Slytherin thing, and for when their friends are just strange, but haven’t figured it out yet because they’re too busy being strange together."

"'I’ll meet you downstairs,' Harry says, then stands and jumps off the roof. George screams, but Harry’s laughing all the way down, casting a cushioning charm so he easily bounces back on his feet."

"'But it doesn’t bother me when I almost die,' Harry complains."

"I might as well cause a useful disaster."

* "Sometimes accidental necromancy just happens.”

"'Ritualistic cannibalism is my least preferred way to die,” Harry tells him companionably."

"Who cares if it’s a good idea? It’s a fun idea."

"She looks at Harry. “Can you walk, Mr. Potter?”“Sure,” he says, “absolutely, I’ve been walking for years.”"

"They all look at him like he’s crazy. Which isn’t a new experience, but is a little rude."

* "he’s planning to spend the summer collecting corpses so he has them on hand if needed."

+ bonus

Sirius saying Questionable Things, as always: "'I love that woman,' Sirius says, 'She’s so willing sell her morals away, I really admire that in a person.'"

Ron, who i’m kind of obsessed with(+ an appearance from Ginny): "'What are you planning, Ronald?' 'Nothing major. Just some public unrest, maybe a riot or two. A coup would be nice, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves,' he muses."

"'I flew a car into the Whomping Willow when I was twelve,' Ron says. 'How am I supposed to discipline students? As long as no one dies, it’s like, fine, right?'"

"“Hey!” Ron says, but he’s still grinning. “I think we make really logical and great choices for authority figures.” Harry twists to stare at him. “A third year got in a fight with a Hufflepuff, and you taught him how to throw a better punch.”"

Neville, who is awesome: "No election if we kill him."

"“Yippee,” Neville says morosely"

Hermione, who is somehow both chaotic good and lawful neutral at once: "'I won’t have to scold anyone for anything if they don’t get caught,' Hermione answers. 'Perhaps everyone should take this as an opportunity to brush up on their invisibility and silencing spells?'"

* "Hermione pulls out her wand. “It’s sad you’ll forget this moment. You’re a lot less pathetic when you grow a spine.”"

Draco, who I can’t even put into words how much I love in this fic: *** "Draco strides into Flitwick’s office and drops a ten foot scroll on his desk with a satisfying thwack. Flitwick looks up and raises an eyebrow. “That’s the complete arithmancy for the ghost summoning spell. Read it and weep, because I did.”"

"“Yeah, okay. I was personally planning to hex anyone who hit on you or stared at you too long, but I suppose your idea is a little more subtle.”"

"Murder suddenly sounds like a much more appealing option."

* "if it’s alive, we’ll come get you so we can – I don’t know, kill an millennia old creature in the middle of the night for the hell of it, I guess."

"“I have so much homework to do that I’ve considered taking up drinking to cope,”"

"Forget therapy. Draco needs a drink."

Quinn, because ze is amazing and I want to make potions explode with zir: "“My dad threw a fit when I accidentally melted the shed outside,” Quinn complains, “Like we all haven’t accidentally liquified a building or two.”"

** "Quinn leans forward, making sure to look him in the eye. “Tell me Harry. Have you ever wanted to lead an unofficial teenage militia? Because I think that would look great on your resume.”"

"“If you finish that sentence I’ll have to kill you, and that will really bum a lot of people out,”"

Seamus and Dean, who count as one person and are practically joined at the hip: "Seamus smacks his shoulder, “Ze has a boyfriend.” There’s a pause where they all stare at him, and then he goes, “Wait, and you have a boyfriend too! Me! No leering at Quinn.”"

Percy, who is entirely too relatable sometimes: "“I have to go,” he says, “and I don’t know, maybe develop a drinking problem or something.”"

This Scene:

I’m not even sure I understand what’s happening here, but I love it

This Scene As Well:

"Ron sighs and puts his arm around Harry’s shoulders. “Harry, murder is bad.”

“Most of the time,” Hermione says. Ron glares at her. “What? Sometimes a little murder can be helpful.”

He turns to Neville, beseeching, but he only shrugs. “Murder is bad almost all of the time.”"

Other Characters, who are equally amazing but admittedly less important to the story so far, so they don’t get individual sections: "“Angelina!” Katie scolds, even though she’s angry too. “Don’t admit to murder in front of so many witnesses.”"

" “I’ll keep watch. Have fun down there. I hope you die.”"

*** "“What is idiotic master needing from his lowly house elf, who is clearly so unimportant that he can not be telling her when he goes running off to do stupid things?” “Er,” he says, “look, Winky, it all happened really fast, and we were on a bit of time crunch-” “Ah, yes,” she says, “because it is taking so long to be summoning me, with a literal snap of your fingers.”"

His Results and Captaincy

Snippet from Sirius and Harry Bonding Fic - Mirror Talks

Just like always, Sirius, James and Lily were watching over Harry – particularly, today, as he’d been altered that he’d get his results for O.W.L.s this morning.  Sirius knew that Harry had been at a bit of a disadvantage over the years, but always intelligent and having spent a better part of the year with his Ravenclaw ex-girlfriend, he’d likely had a boost in his grades and studies.

Still, it’s always a little nerve wrecking to await results.  They just couldn’t wait for Harry to finally get his results so they could tell him how proud they are of him (because no matter what, they are all insanely proud of their son).  

“Harry looks like he’d rather be anywhere other than next to Hermione,” James laughs.

“I would, too,” Lily states. “I remember waiting for my results with my parents constantly asking about how I thought I did and someone else trying to still be my friend.”

“Someone else, Lils?” Sirius asks.  “You can say his name.”

“She prefers not to,” James states.  “Well, unless she’s yelling at him for his attitude toward Harry.”

“Which happens, often,” Lily offers.

James grins, “Right – you’ll see that.”

“Thanks – do you remember getting our results?” Sirius questions.  

James laughs, “You mean how we were still asleep when our results came, and mum and dad were the ones to read them out loud to wake us up?”

Sirius laughs remembering that day, they’d always shared a bed whenever Sirius stayed with them – that summer he’d already been there since the second day, so his results had gone to the Potter household.  Dorea and Charlus had received their results and decided to prank them by barging in and ripping off the blanket to wake them up with the news that they had failed everything and were having to repeat their fifth year.  It had been more embarrassing that they fell asleep naked than actually believing that they had failed.  “Yeah, well, lucky for us their prank failed because we were far too smart to fail everything.”

“It’s still great they tried.”  James laughs, “Although, I hadn’t anticipated coming out to them like that.”

“Yeah, it was – I should go and talk to them, actually…” Sirius starts.

“Later!  He’s gotten his results,” Lily states, excitedly.  

It’s true.  Harry’s opened his results, along with Ron and Hermione, and they can see his reaction to them.  “Only failed Divination and History of Magic – and who needs them?” Ron asks.

Harry grins, “Yeah, right.”  They swapped their results and then Ron ran off to show his results to Molly, while Hermione borrows Hedwig to share with her parents.  This allows Harry to sneak off and pull out his mirror.  “Pads!”

“Hey kid,” Sirius grins. “We’re all here dying to know how you did.”

Harry grins and holds the parchment up from them to read through the mirror.  He’d gotten EE’s in most of his classes, excepts O’s in Charms, Defense and Transfiguration (thanks to tutoring from Sirius and Cho), a P in Divination, and an A in History of Magic.  “What do you think?”

“You did great, kid!”

“Fantastic!”

“We’re so proud of you, Sweetheart,” Lily finishes.  “You did amazingly well, I’m surprised you did so well considering everything you’ve been through.”

“Well, I had some help – calling on Pads and um…” he blushes.  “Do you, um, know about…”

“Your lovely ex-girlfriend?” Lily asks.  “Yes, we do – we’ve always tried to watch over you, remember?”

“Right, of course, it’s just – she helped a lot.”

“It helps to have snogging breaks, huh?” James teases.  “I used to do that with these two all the time.”

“You two never studied at all, it was all snogging,” Lily teases.

“Like you would know,” James counters as Sirius offers, “This is true.”

James gives him a look that causes the other three to burst out laughing.  “Anyway, son, we’re so proud of you – you should buy yourself something nice, a gift as a reward.”

“Oh?  A gift?  What would you buy me if you’d been here?”

“Well, I’d likely buy you a new broom, but you’re not going to beat the firebolt… so…”

“Oh yeah!  That reminds me, did you see this?” Harry asks, lifting up a familiar badge.  

“Yes!  That’s my boy!  Getting Captain,” James cheers to laughs from Lily and Sirius.

“As if there was any other choice,” Sirius grins.  “You’re the best player on that team – so natural from the start.”

“Didn’t even have to try out to be the youngest player in a century,” James states, proudly. “There is no better choice.”

Harry grins, “It’ll be so much better than Prefect.”

“Prefect is only bad when you have people like these two making it difficult,” Lily offers, giving Sirius and James a look, both of whom grin back.

“There’s nothing fun about telling people to stop having fun,” Sirius retorts.  “This one was much more boring when he became Head Boy.”

“Oi!  I wasn’t boring we still had plenty of fun –”

“Remember there are kid ears here,” Harry cuts in, obviously assuming – correctly – that James was referring to their sexual exploits as fun.

“I wasn’t going to go there,” James states.  “I’m just saying that I didn’t become a bore, but I do agree, I liked being Captain more – and if you ever want advice…”

“Your father would be happy to give it to you,” Lily smiles.  “Even if you don’t want it.”

Harry laughs, “I’ll probably take him up on that.”

“Fantastic!  So, what classes are you planning on taking this year?”

“I don’t know.  I wanted to be an auror, but honestly, I’m not too sure about that anymore.  I’ll probably keep my options open by taking the core classes – sucks about Potions though. I’ll need it for most jobs, but Snape wouldn’t accept me with an EE.”

“That’s okay, we’ll tutor you and you can still take the N.E.W.T.,” Lily offers.  “I’ve always loved Potions and I’d rather you not have to deal with him, so tutoring you was always something I’d offer.”

“Really?  Because I’d like that.”

“Of course, Sweetheart.”

Harry grins, clearly happy about something to bond with his mother, as he’s been a little uncertain with her given that he doesn’t have as much in common with her.  “Thanks, mum.”  Before anymore could be said, they hear the sounds of Ron and Hermione looking for Harry.  “I gotta go, but I’ll call later.  Love you!”

“Love you, too, Kid.”
