#but i think it’ll pack the most punch in the ootp era

[padfootastic]

dude. dude. i did not even picture it like this but i like this sm??? there’s so much going here:

-the implication that james doesn’t remember what happened but knows, intuitively and instinctively, that sirius could never betray him. even in the face of all the evidence that says otherwise. this is exactly the kind of passionate belief sirius deserves.

- james being so annoying that even death is like ‘oh my god FINE’

- but also. james not being happy with anything or anyone (despite being a pampered lil prince) bc all he wants is sirius and if he can’t have him, then he’ll make it everyone’s problem. very on brand tbh.

i also like, need a (perhaps crack-y) scene where death literally drops james in the middle of hogwarts/the ministry/DMLE office idk (like imagine this huge skeletal being dangling a grinning james potter by the scruff of his robes, two feet off the ground) and in the most exasperated voice ever announces to everyone that

‘here is one previously deceased james fleamont potter, brought back to life by special dispensation of Death on account of being an absolute fucking pain in the arse. he’s your responsibility now’

and books it outta there. james simply gets up from the floor, dusts himself off, and marches his ass right into the ministers office and gets sirius pardoned within the hour.

thinking of james coming back to life through sheer willpower and determination because sirius is in fucking azkaban??? no one gives a shit about him??? he’s losing everything that makes him him and james is not willing to let that sparkle in his eyes die and if that means making death his bitch and doing something that’s never been done before, then so be it.

just. super op james potter being resurrected and taking every single person who condemned sirius to task because how dare they.
