#Order of the phoenix

[deswhomst]

There was so much missed potential with the Black brothers because when I was reading the Harry Potter books, and they both had no dead bodies, I was waiting for them to just appear at some point in the story with a crazy plot-twist but no!! They stayed dead. What was the point of the veil if there was nothing beyond it but death? And I really thought that since Regulus’ death was so mysterious, too, there was a chance he was alive, and Sirius went beyond the veil to him, and they both found a Horcrux or something bigger !! Anyways, this is proof that I have always been very delusional.

What if at the same time Harry was smashing up Dumbledore's room Remus was doing the same, a hundred miles away?

For all that it’s said about James that he’d consider it dishonourable to distrust his friends, I think it’s clear from Lily’s omission of Remus in her letter that she and James agreed with Sirius’ assessment that he was the traitor.

Which means either James’ progressiveness was pretty paper thin, and he suspected the marginalised member of his friend group without reason.

Or - and I think this is worse, because even the best of us have ingrained prejudices we don’t catch until we’re called out on them - he did have reason. And that reason is that Remus was the only one who (very) occasionally expressed misgivings about James’ cruelty. Which means Remus was suspected because he was the least sycophantic about James’ greatness and goodness, and he misses that this means Remus has a moral compass making him LESS likely to be the spy, because his self-conception as a hero won’t allow him to consider that violently treating people beneath him like dirt isn’t a heroic deed.

James has extreme moral luck. He ends up on the right side of history because he was born into the right family. His teenage self displays greater sadism and instincts for humiliation and control than any other kid in the book save young Tom Riddle. He’d have made a fine Death Eater. The only reason he might not rise to the very top like Bellatrix is his lack of regard for authority, but it wouldn’t be due to any moral qualms.

It’s made quite clear that the first to distrust Remus is Sirius (ohhhh the Wolftar lololol), and he’s the one who suggests Peter as the Secret Keeper. And James and Lily agree. And the reason? Remus is a werewolf, and werewolves, in general, had sided with Voldemort.

So all that supposed ideology, all that so-called progressive mindset, all that supposed moral righteousness that made them part of the “good side” because they didn’t discriminate or hold prejudices—it was all just a facade. Nothing more than a performance to justify doing whatever they wanted, like being violent sociopaths as teenagers, while still telling themselves they were the good guys.

Remus was supposedly their friend since they were eleven. They had known him, seen everything he suffered because of his condition. They had spent full moons with him, shared countless experiences with him—and yet, they had no problem turning their backs on him the moment suspicion arose. Not because of any real evidence, but because of what he was. Because of his difference. Because of the very thing that everyone discriminated against him for.

His own friends discriminated against him.

Pure hypocrisy. And the worst kind, because this wasn’t just some random werewolf—it was their friend. That’s where they show their true colors. Everything they supposedly believed in was just a front. Deep down, they were nothing more than privileged rich kids playing at fighting for ideals they didn’t understand and didn’t care to understand. They just used those ideals as a way to dress up their egos and narcissism as good deeds. But in reality? They didn’t give a damn about doing good.

James only cared about reinforcing his public image. Sirius just wanted to piss off his mother. And Lily? She gives the impression that, after getting married, she simply did whatever James told her to.

Surprised by the most popular answer on this.

I mean...

By definition if it's only implied... it is ambiguous.

"We're supposed to understand" means it's ambiguous.

casual reminder that sirius black’s last words to his godson were “harry, take the prophecy, grab neville and run!”.

it’s not mistaking harry for james, as the movies showed. and the last words he ever uttered were a taunt, daring bellatrix to do better.

in the heat of the battle, sirius ensured harry and neville were well out of the line of fire before jumping into the fray himself—he died knowing he’s kept harry safe until the very end as best as he could.

[justsmth2]

so I read a life changing harry potter fic (bc it's autumn) in like three days and hyperfixated so bad I needed to draw a scene from it

here is this fic

[loonyloopylupin96]

So.

If I assume that the veil is a source of ancient magic...

I have to ask...

Did anyone check Gringotts for Sirius? He might just be chilling in there.

cedric diggory x fem!reader

summary: after being forced to stay home from hogsmeade as your funds fall at 0, you and cedric find other ways to pass the time.

cw: oral (fem receiving)

you puff your cheeks, watching the girls run around the dorm, coin purses in hand. you're draped over your bed, hair hanging as you lay upside down.

"Are you certain you don't want to join us, y/n?" one of your roommates ask and you sigh

"what do you think I get with one sickle?" you ask before pursing your lips in performative thought, the girl laughs before tying her scarf around her neck, your houses color vibrant as she waves goodbye

"I'll keep an eye out for you! bye!" and just like that the door shuts and you're left to stare at your purse that's filled with one sickle because you couldn't stop your spending before Hogsmeade.

you groan before sitting up to plant face first into your sheets, your bare legs shiver from the open window and you pull your skirt farther to try and warm yourself

"Whats going on here?" you jump to see an ever-so-smug cedric leaning on the bedpost in front of you, you squeal and jump up, asking why your boyfriend broke into your room

"Wanted to check on you, heard you're not coming to Hogsmeade. thought you weren't feeling well" he mumbles as he walks toward you

"I'm fine, just poor" he snorts, laying back on your bed as you crawl to him

"can't believe you missed Hogsmeade just to check on me" you hiss, and his chest vibrates at your lack of praise for his good manners

"goodness, y/n" he sighs, running his fingers through his hair and you hang over him, trying read what he wont tell you

"you are very hard to please, aren't you?" he purrs

"not if you're looking in the right places." you whisper, he only fully understands your position when his eyes move down, hands wrap around your hips as his eyes darken

you grin and he flips you over, giggles escape you as he peppers kisses down your neck

his large hands roam your thighs and soon, your panties are being pulled down

he comes up to see you to connect his lips with yours before dragging himself back down and hiding under your skirt

you gasp as his tongue lays flat on your open cunt, slowly dragging up your warmth and he moans into your core

"you're delicious" he whispers before digging in once more, lapping at you, as you squirm above him. tears edge on your lids as your hips get pulled closer by him as he makes out with your pussy

you're losing your mind now, eyes rolling back as his tongue circles your clit before flicking the bud viciously

you cry out to him as you release and he laps at your cream like it is the best thing he's ever had.

once he is done, he kisses all over your core and thighs before unveiling himself from your skirt, chin glistening with the biggest grin you've ever seen on him.

"I'm so glad you're poor"

an: let me know what your guys think <3 love you always

not including ginny’s development in order of the phoenix was such a faux pas by the film writers. that book truly sets her up as the perfect future partner for harry, before even showing the romantic side of their relationship. it is critical to their development.

we get so many small but important moments where we see how brilliant she is. how she listens to him and doesn’t pressure him, or lecture him. she just listens. how funny she is, and playful and witty. she’s fun to be around, she makes him laugh, she takes the weight off his shoulders more than once, she’s tough and feisty. she calls him out on his shit when he needs it, which is something most of his friends are unable to do without resulting in silence, yelling or tears, their little shared glances when they find something funny, ginny ready and willing to risk her life to help him, and him being protective (?!!!), not to mention they bicker like an old married couple when they go to the department of mysteries like hello???)

i could go on and on and I WILL some other time
