Fame & Glory | S.B

Paring: Young!Sirius Black X Fem!Potter!Reader

Summary: Y/n Potter goes through the Triwizard Tournament.

Word Count: 3.4K

Every couple of years, Hogwarts hosts the Triwizard Tournament. An event in which three wizards from the neighboring schools - Durmstrang, Beauxbatons, and Hogwarts - compete against each other in a variety of three different challenges. There would be one winner and one person from each school.

These three people compete in complex challenges to surpass to the next one. Whoever wins, in the end, gains the Triwizard Cup and an immense amount of glory. It was for these reasons that a group of five mischief-makers were intrigued. They called themselves the Marauders.

James and Y/n Potter were the so-called leaders of the group. The twins were a dynamic duo and didn’t do anything without the other. Sirius Black had joined them in first year after barging into their compartment unannounced on the Hogwarts Express. They later met two shy boys who went by Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew after the sorting.

James sported circular glasses, had unruly brown tuffs and hazel irises. Y/n had h/c hair and glorious e/c eyes. Sirius had silky smooth, dark brown - almost black - hair that when grown long enough curled at the ends. His eyes were a stormy grey, but some days could appear a stone color. Remus was lanky and had his messy fringe of sandy blond hair. His eyes were a beautiful fern color thought. Peter Pettigrew was stocky. He had blonde hair and blue eyes.

Nonetheless, they all loved a challenge.

The competition happened in their fourth year, and it was open to everyone of all ages. Sirius had watched in fear while Regulus placed his name inside of the cup while gripping Y/n’s hand tightly. She had assured him many times that everything would be okay. Sirius couldn’t bring himself to place his name inside, but James and Y/n could.

Both of them had placed their names in at the same time. It undoubtedly worried Sirius to no end. His girlfriend was putting her life at risk, for what - glory? She already had glory. The Potters were one of the most respected pureblood Gryffindor families in all of London, just as the Noble House of Black was the same but for Slytherin.

A week later, they were all sat on the perimeter of the Great Hall. A substantial rectangular room, its length longer than its width but huge, nonetheless. The ceiling was always charmed with the current outside sky, and not to mention it was a rather tall ceiling - three yards, one would guess. The floor was concrete, and the tables were made out of dark wood, four of them for each Hogwarts house.

However, they all were dismantled into tiny bleachers sat on the perimeter. There were three levels, and the Marauders sat on the left side of the room, watching as everyone filed in. Sirius had a death grip on Y/n’s hand. She could feel his palm become sweaty with anxiousness, and she swore he was going to explode soon.

“Siri, it’s okay, I promise.” Y/n assured, and Sirius shook his head, “What- What if you get chosen? What am I gonna do?”

Y/n smirked, “You’re gonna watch me win.”

“Not if I get picked,” James tutted, “Then I’ll watch you lose.”

Remus sighed, shaking his head with a smile on his face. The two twins had always made everything a competition, highest marks, getting essays done faster, Quidditch, everything was a competition with the Potters. Moments later, Dumbledore had stepped onto the platform holding the Cup as he began his speech reiterating everything in his previous speech.

He called for silence, and they watched as the blue flame turned red, releasing a bit of parchment with the name, “The member from Durmstrang compete it in the Triwizard Tournament is Drago Bozhidarvo!”

Men yelled as a boy with golden locks and hazel eyes stepped forward. He was tall but muscular. Y/n assumed he was a sixth or seventh year. She couldn’t quite tell entirely. He screamed charisma and charm. The perfect prince girls dreamed of. Y/n wasn’t enamored. She had her Prince, a mischief-maker like herself, a daredevil. He was anything but a rule follower.

Another name had been released from the red flame, “The member from Beauxbatons compete it in the Triwizard Tournament is Alexandrine Fabien!”

A sequel of squeals followed as a rather petite woman stepped forward. She appeared to be young, possibly a third year. But she had beautiful, glossy long brown hair and cobalt eyes that gleamed in the low light of the Great Hall. Many of the boys swooned over her. James almost snorted - she was nothing compared to his Lily.

Finally, the last name spewed out from the cup, “And finally, the last member from Hogwarts compete it in the Triwizard Tournament is Valorie Holland!”

A Slytherin female - go figure. Valorie was the definition of a Slytherin. She was cunning, ambitious, and desperate to prove herself better than others. She was a half-blood, which drove her to show her other colleagues she was just like them. Her hair was chocolate brown, and she had eyes to match. She was a taller girl who was in her fifth year. Her Slytherin friends shouted and whistled for her as she hesitantly went with the other winners.

Sirius had allowed himself a breath of relief Y/n, Regulus, and James were safe from the tournament. Dumbledore continued to speak until something stopped him in his tracks. The once blue flame had turned red once more; another piece of burnt parchment rose from the fire. Dumbledore caught it without a worry and read the handwriting on it.

“Y/n Potter…”

It was so low barely anyone heard, but it made Y/n stop in her tracks, “Y/n Potter!” The Professor exclaimed again.

James froze in his spot, and Sirius felt like he was going to sob, “Blimey, Y/n go.” Remus pushed her forward, and she stood.

Hesitantly she walked toward Professor Dumbledore, and he gave her a look of suspicion. Sirius was struggling to withhold his tears. James was too busy being frozen even to try to comfort his friend. Remus was trying, but it was no use. Regulus was staring at his older brother from across the room in shock. Despite everything, Regulus quite liked Y/n.

“No!” Sirius croaked, “You can’t take her!”

“Mr. Black-“ McGonagall tried.

“No! I won't let you take her from me!” Sirius bellowed as tears finally streamed down his cheeks, “This isn’t fair! There’s only supposed to be three!”

McGonagall sighed, “Mr. Black, it is best you calm down. Everything will be handled in due time.”

Remus nodded, “We understand, Professor McGonagall. Don’t we, Sirius?”

Sirius didn’t answer, but that didn’t matter. It was evident that the headmaster of both schools were furious that Hogwarts had two people. They all went down to the four champions, and Dumbledore held a wand to Y/n’s neck.

“How did you do it?”

“P- Pardon me, sir?”

Dumbledores eyes narrowed, “How did you make your name come out?”

“I didn’t!” Y/n whined, “I promise!“

McGonagall placed a hand on Dumbledores shoulder, “She mustn’t have done it. Leave her be, Professor.”

The wand held to her throat was withdrawn, yet she stood there frozen like an ice statue, shivering with anxiety. Y/n took steps toward the other contestants giving her glares. The hardest one coming from the female Slytherin upset that Y/n had taken her glory.

It was a quiet walk back to the Gryffindor tower. Prefects had already gone to bed, and it was silent other than Y/n’s shoes clicking on the floor. The halls were dark and only lit with moonlight. When she walked into the Gryffindor common room, she saw a figure lying on the couch with a blanket around them.

She knelt beside them. Dark brown tuffs stuck out on the pillow and pale white skin contrasted. Their cheeks were flushed just barely, and dry silver streaks were left on their cheeks. Lips were swollen just the tiniest bit but still noticeable. Gently, Y/n kissed their forehead cause them to stir awake.

“Y/n…” His voice was creaky and hoarse, but it made her smile, “Hey, Siri.”

Sirius didn’t respond but pulled her closer to him. Y/n took it as an invitation to lay with him. She opened the blanket and laid with her back to his chest. Sirius hummed and placed his arms around her waist, holding her to his back. Y/n allowed one of her hands to put on top of Sirius’ on her abdomen, rubbing them softly.

“Love you.” Sirius muttered, overcoming with sleep but placed a kiss on her shoulder.

“Love you too, darling.”

They both fell asleep together on the common room couch. It was a dreamless sleep for them both, which was uncommon for Sirius. Typically some form of nightmare would haunt him in the night, but with Y/n held tightly against him - he felt safe. The following morning they woke up to someone sitting on them. Sirius groaned and tried to push them off, but to no avail.

“C’mon, lovebirds, wake up!” James’ voice echoed.

“Merlin, James.” Y/n rubbed her eyes, “You’re heavy.”

James feigned offense, “How dare you! I am as light as a feather.”

Sirius snorted, “Whatever you say, mate.”

“Could you get off us, please?” Y/n queried, “I’d rather you not break my hip.”

James hopped off them both, and they both sat up, “Then you could match Moony!”

Remus threw his copy of the Daily Prophet at him making James rub the top of his head, “Ow!”

“I’m hungry.” Peter announced, “Let’s go.”

Business went as usual for the next couple of weeks until the first task appeared. Each contestant was to go against a dragon who was given a golden egg to protect. It was a long couple of hours while the others went before Y/n. She could hear the people in the stands, along with the other contestants fighting their dragon.

Y/n stepped out of the tiny cave and saw the colossal creature patrolling the egg. It was a dark purple color, almost plum with brilliant green eyes. The beast itself was huge it’s wingspan was way over just a couple hundred feet. The body was just as long. Y/n swallowed as she approached it quietly.

Truth be told, she didn’t have a strategy. All she had was her wand and her mind. Dragons were territorial of what they were given, so Y/n supposed that I’d they were given something else to protect that could forget all about the original item. Her dragon finally noticed her and began to chase her around the arena.

She began to run and jump over the stones on the ground. They were extraordinarily uneven, and at one point, she slipped. Her back landed extremely hard on the concrete, knocking the wind out of her. It took her two minutes to recover and allow air into her lungs. Sweat was pouring from her face, and she was breathing heavily.

Y/n kept running and jumping over cracks until she had enough time to conjure a spell. Pointing her wand at one of the rocks, she muttered an incantation to transfigure it into another egg, similar to the other, just without as much shine. Instantly the dragon took to it, nuzzling its nose with the plastic material.

Quietly but hastily, Y/n took the original golden egg while the dragon fascinated the other new object. People in the arena screamed and cheered for her now that she held up the golden egg. Professor Dumbledore sent a spell to make the dragon sleep, allowing her an easy exit to the little cave she had entered through.

That night the Gryffindor common room partied hard. James was always known for making extravagant parties. People were overjoyed with Y/n’s success on the first task, but when she opened the egg, it screamed. She was quick to close it again, and the party still went on.

It was extremely late when they all decided to go to bed. Sirius and Y/n curled up on his twin bed. James was snoring loudly. Remus was tossing and turning. Peter was sleeping like a rock. Y/n held Sirius close to her chest, letting her more petite body engulf him. Sirius allowed the tension from his body to slip away and just be consumed in the way he felt against his girlfriend.

Weeks later, in the winter months, the second task was due. Remus had figured out the egg ages before Y/n decided to even think about it. He had told her to submerge it into the water, where she found the second clue. The Marauders all sat in the dorm talking about particular strategies which, in the end, Y/n would drink a water-breathing potion brewed by Sirius.

He had just handed over the Potion when a knock echoed in the dorm, “Can I come in?”

“Yeah!”

Frank Longbottom entered the dorm - Head Boy, “McGonagall needs Sirius Black in her office.”

James gave a low whistle, “What’d you do now?”

“Dunno.” Sirius shrugged.

Leaning down, he kissed Y/n on the cheek before leaving the dorm. She tried to stay up and wait for him to return, but she fell asleep. When Y/n woke up, Sirius was still missing from the dorm. It gave her a weird feeling in her chest as she walked down to the Black Lake for the second tournament. She stood at the edge of the wooden platform in the middle of the lake, holding the potion in her hand.

They began to count down, and she swallowed the potion whole. Then Y/n jumped into the lake. It was freezing cold, but thankfully she could breathe out of her nose. Y/n swam around the lake until she heard murmuring. She approached the sound and found four people tied to the bottom of the lake sleeping. One of them was Sirius. Quickly Y/n shot out and grabbed her wand, tearing him from the bottom of the lake.

Y/n grabbed onto Sirius and began to swim up when eventually they hit the surface. Sirius coughed up water, and they both swam to the wooden platform where James was holding towels for them both. James wrapped them both up in towels, and Sirius was pushing back his sopping black hair back.

It resulted in Y/n winning the second task. Sirius had congratulated her with a long kiss on the mouth full of passion that made James gag. Within the next couple of months, the third task would be approaching. In the last month before school, the third task would be completed. It was a giant maze made from bushes at least thirty feet tall and magical creatures inside that made Y/n shiver.

Before the task, James took her in for a tight embrace, “You gotta win this, okay?”

“Yeah,” Y/n nodded, “I got this. I’m a Potter. I can do this.”

James smiled, “That’s my sister.”

He kissed her on the forehead before Sirius tackled her into a hug, “You’re gonna do great.”

“Thanks, Siri.”

“Just be careful,” Sirius reeled back to look at her eyes, “This is extremely dangerous, and I dunno what I’ll do if something happens to you.”

Y/n kissed his cheek, “I’ll be fine.”

Finally, Remus and Peter gave her a hug wishing her good luck. She smiled gratefully at them and stood at her entrance of the maze. Since Y/n was in first place, she got a head start. The maze closed up almost immediately after entering, making her insides churn together unpleasantly—Y/n’s wand at the ready as she went through the maze.

It felt like hours of left and right, up and down. But eventually, a curse was thrown at her making Y/n jump back. There she saw Valorie Holland - the Slytherin contestant. Her eyes were glazed with something unfamiliar, but she didn’t have time to contemplate. Valorie threw curses at her left and right while Y/n had to block them all.

When Valorie got distracted by a noise, Y/n made a run for it straight forward. She was bent over, out of breath, when she looked ahead and saw it. The glowing blue cup at the end of the trail. With her last bit of strength, she ran towards it to only find Alexandrine Fabien at the cup and seemingly at the same time.

“You get it. I’ve won everything else.” Y/n confessed, but Alexandrine had a look of guilt on her face.

“That wouldn’t be fair.”

“I don’t need glory or fame,” Y/n retorted, “My family has enough of it.”

Alex looked contradicted, “Together, then?”

“Together.” Y/n agreed.

They both placed their hands on the cup but ended up somewhere else. It seemed to be in the middle of a plain. Y/n could tell they were in London from the sticky, humid air. The same air she and James played Quidditch in over the summers. Alex and Y/n turned at the sound of a voice.

“Y/n Potter, is it?”

Y/n shivered at the deep, rumbling voice, “So you’re the famous Potter in the prophecy.”

“Prophecy?” Y/n questioned, “Those- Those aren’t real.”

She could feel his chuckle before she heard it, “But they are, sweetheart. And you,” He appeared from the woods, “Are a threat to my mission.”

“Mission?” Alex sent Y/n a worried glance, “What’s your mission?”

“No need for information.” He replied calmly, “I gave you as much as you need.”

A silent curse was thrown her way in a green light Y/n’s body went limp to the ground. Alexandrine screamed at it, now shaking in her boots as she was face to face with this monster. The man in the black cloak approached Alex slowly, drawling on every step. She held her wand out shakily, but the man just put her arm down.

“I have a job for you.”

“A job?”

“Take Potter back to Hogwarts,” The man ordered, “Tell them that Voldemort is here to claim what’s rightfully his.”

Alexandrine didn’t question his orders. Instead, she took Y/n’s cold hand and accio’ed the cup to her. The cup - now known as a portkey - took them back to Hogwarts in the middle of the arena where they had started. People were cheering for the Hogwarts and Beauxbatons champion. Until they saw tears fall from Alexandrines cobalt eyes, her knees buckled, and she fell beside Y/n’s limp body.

Headmaster Dumbledore saw Y/n’s limp body and ordered everyone to stay back. But no one could’ve stopped James Potter from running to his sister. He was tripping over everyone without apologies, and no one could hold him back. Professor McGonagall tried to hold him back, but he squirmed out of her arms until he had his sister's head tight to his chest.

“Y/n…” James pleaded, “Wake up!”

Everyone went silent as James cried, “This isn’t funny anymore!”

James looked to the crowd, “She’s- She's just playing a prank on us.”

Sirius stared at James’ face, a mixture of grief and tears, “Sirius, she’s- she’s just playing, right? You guys- you guys must’ve planned this!”

“Mate…” Sirius muttered, trying to hold back his tears, “We- We didn’t plan anything.”

It hit Sirius at that point. Wet streaks were falling down his cheeks as he approached Y/n’s body as well. Her once hot body was now ice cold. Sirius could remember drinking up her body heat that past winter in front of the fire because he always ran colder than usual. His heart was beating so fast he thought he might faint.

James was sobbing uncontrollably, and no one could pull either boy away from the dead girl. Sirius was nosing at her neck like a dog searching for a pulse. James was holding tight onto her hand that was below freezing. Alexandrine was sobbing hysterically as her headmaster turned her away from the sight.

After the event, Dumbledore had spoken to Alexandrine, James, and Sirius. Dumbledore explained to the boys what had happened, and James broke down in tears again. Sirius was numb after the whole affair. He had just lost his soulmate, his everything. Sirius had been sulking behind a tapestry when Regulus had come to sit beside him. The first time they had interacted since Sirius got sorted into Gryffindor.

James began to keep her legacy going of helping others. The pranks had stopped completely, and he began to protect every first year from curses being thrown at them. Lily saw James’ protectiveness and his kindness. During fifth year Lily gave him a chance, and they worked beautifully together.

The Potters did earn their fame and glory, just not for the right reasons.

Hi Nat. This thought popped up whilst I was washing my dishes so like, it was unusual to see (read) Pandora not teamed up with Reg. Like, it's always the two of them right? Most fics tbh. And I'm not saying what you did is bad but you know, not the usual. But, BUT, I love what you did. Because in any universe, Pandora will always be the logical side of Regulus. Team or no team. I mean, there's always the trio (Barty, Evan and Reg) then the skittles (which tbh, I love that you gave each of them roles) and then there's the duo (pandora and reg to which we mostly read on fics) BUT I love AHB nonetheless. That's all ig. Sorry for word-vomiting this to you.

Hi,

Yes, I sort of played with a lot unusual tropes in Art Heist, Baby! because I wanted to explore how something different would look.

For example, I really focused on Remus and James' friendship instead of James/Sirius because it was different and we know that Remus and James had such a strong friendship from canon material but I think that dynamic can be overlooked sometimes with James and Sirius and then with Wolfstar as well. So I wanted to isolate Remus and James' friendship in a sense just to see what it could look like.

Also the Pandora and Frank team up dynamic is a bit odd as well. I do think they'd get along very well tbh (and i can go into heavy detail!) and I agree, Pandora is always a bit more logical even if she is out-of-the-box in her logics.

I mean there are people who read marauders fics for the common tropes of Sirius/James friendship or Pandora/Regulus friendship and what not, and there is nothing wrong with that!! It's not what what I wanted to do. It's odd maybe in the loosest sense of the word in that it's not typical but it's not bad- just different! And fun to write!

i hope you're having a good morning! would you ever write some regulus and jules bonding? they are the true dynamic duo

They are the best dynamic duo and I adore them both, especially because they love tormenting their older brothers! SW credit goes to @lumosinlove!

Regulus and Jules wave at the camera with matching bright smiles as the video begins. “Hey everyone!” Regulus whispers. “I’m Regulus Black and I’m here today with a very special guest for a little game we like to call…”

Jules bites his lip. “Does it have an official name?”

“I was hoping you would make one up.”

“Oh! Uh, it’s a super fun game called ‘Let’s Get Our Brothers in Trouble for Something They Didn’t Do’!” Jules gives the camera two thumbs-up as Regulus tries to stifle his laughter.

“Okay, so we’re each going to pull the same prank, and whoever gets the better reaction from our parents wins a prize. Let’s go!”

Remus is eating cereal with one hand and propping a book up with the other when Jules puts the camera in the corner of the kitchen and joins him at the table with his own cheerios, perfectly innocent.

They eat in silence for a few minutes before Jules smacks his hand on the table and grabs his shoulder. “Ow! What was that for?”

Remus looks up, startled. “What?”

“Remus, don’t hit your brother!” Hope calls from the other room.

“I didn’t touch him!” Remus protests, giving Jules a look of betrayal.

Jules slaps the table again. “Stop it!”

“Remus John Lupin!”

“I’m not doing anything!”

Jules raises his hand a third time and Remus grabs his wrist lightly. “Let go, it hurts!” he wails with all the drama of an Oscar nominee.

There is a heavy sigh in the other room and both their eyes widen—Jules’ in glee, and Remus’ in pure terror. Hope comes around the corner with a wooden spoon in her hand. “What did I say?”

“I didn’t hit him!” Remus defends. Jules sniffles, looking pathetic. “He was smacking the table!”

Hope raises an eyebrow. “You’re a terrible liar.”

“I’m not lying!”

“You’re grounded,” she says, turning and walking back into the kitchen.

Remus’ jaw drops. “I’m 26 years old, mom!”

“And I’m still your mother.”

Sirius comes down the stairs and looks between them in confusion. “What’s going on?”

Remus opens and closes his mouth a few times before responding, torn between shock and distress. “I got grounded. I didn’t even hit him.”

Sirius snorts, then bursts out laughing. Jules looks incredibly smug.

Regulus winks at the camera before setting it down and stretching his back, flopping onto the couch next to Sirius’ armchair. Like Jules, he waits a second before slapping the coffee table hard. “What the hell, Sirius?”

Sirius jolts at the noise and nearly drops his phone. “What? What did I do?”

“Behave, boys!” Someone calls further in the house.

Another hit. “Hey!”

Celeste pokes her head in and frowns. “Sirius, don’t hit him, that’s rude.”

Sirius grits his teeth and turns to face Regulus again. “You little shit.”

“Language!”

Regulus keeps his eyes trained on Sirius as he slowly sits up—in a flash, Sirius lunges for him, and he throws himself off the couch, barely dodging the attack. “Get over here!” Sirius shouts, skidding around the back of the couch as Regulus sprints into the other room with a muttered curse.

Celeste remains in view of the camera, and she winces with each clatter and thud. Regulus yelps, once, before there is a loud oof and several sympathetic ‘oooh’s. The camera’s timer runs out two seconds later.

Okay so question two!!! Stga friendships!!

Remus and Regulus's friendship in stga! I remember you mentioning how Remus taught Regulus the phrase 'biting the bullet' which I think is very funny afjshsjs Regulus and Sirius were truly isolated from the muggle world

And I think it was also Remus who introduced Regulus to glitter bombs?? I don't remember. But I think that their friendship is very fun based off of what we know afjsbjss so!! If you have more info about it I'd love to know! Did they have any inside jokes, shared experiences, things that only they could understand about eachother? (Notice how I'm in the mood for friendships today lmaoo)

And while we are still on the topic, Regulus and Lily's friendship! Especially during their hogwarts days in stga- I remember she started getting closer with the group after she started dating James. I'd love to know how her and Reg's friendship was like!

Annnnddddd alsooo Marlene and Regulus's friendship in stga. I remember that they were seeker buddies, and that they were close. Scene over here:

"Are you alright?" Peter says.

Regulus pulls back into his own mind. His hands are trembling. He doesn't know when they started.

Peter's noticed them too, and his face fills with pity. "I know Marlene's important to you."

Regulus sighs. It's true that he and Marlene are friends, mainly by necessity. She was reserve Seeker, so they trained together multiple times a week for years. He'll let Peter think Regulus is distraught over the idea of Marlene being a traitor. After all, he would be distraught, if he believed it.

Anndddd we had their chaotic duo in that one order mission fjabsjsbs they have such a great dynamic. If you have more info to tell about them I'd love to hear that too!!

questions remus found himself answering in very quick succession after casually using one (1) muggle idiom in front of regulus:

what is a bullet

what is a gun

do you have a gun

why not

wait how do muggles heal bullet wounds

wouldn't that hurt a lot

wait wait wait how would you BITE a BULLET. it's METAL

......come to think of it why would you bite a bullet in the first place

wait what does the phrase mean again

james first brought up the concept of glitter bombs but remus is the one who taught james about them and remus is also the one who explains what they are to regulus!

regulus and remus are the 'Sensible Ones' - they're the most bookish out of the marauders, the least wild (which is a very relative term), and they are often the ones who listen to james and sirius's plans and go 'that won't work, we should do this instead'. so when i say 'sensible,' part of that includes 'the ones who actually put thought into avoiding getting caught' - both of them have mastermind tendencies afhsglshkfjd

regulus is a little more open about the 'mastermind' thing and to a certain degree he likes to encourage his friends to go further (see 'boils, james? crude, i thought you were more creative than that'), which remus semi-guiltily finds very entertaining. regulus is definitely one of the reasons that remus is like 'i need to be the moral compass of this group of people'. he's like 'oh god it's funny but at what cost'

they also go absolutely feral together inside any bookshop. they have the layout of flourish & blotts memorized. the rest of the marauders' go-to strategy for obtaining any sort of secret gifts or whatnot for remus or regulus is to take them to a reasonably large bookstore, sort of follow them around making appropriate interested noises as necessary, and then drift away and go obtain the secret item in the hour or so they have before remus and regulus notice they left the store

also regulus's education in dark arts was incredibly thorough before he started at hogwarts, but he wasn't quite as ahead of the curve on some practical magic stuff, so remus helped him with that - not that sirius wasn't willing to help, but remus tended to do this really great thing called 'explaining the concept'

(although remus is Not Good at potions which is how regulus first started talking to lily, who *is* good at potions and was willing to help out sirius's little brother who asked very politely)

REGULUS AND LILY!!! they have been acquainted since regulus's first year at hogwarts, but they weren't close for a long time - like, friendly, but they didn't have that many reasons to talk to each other. it was the war that really changed that - or rather, being in the order together. regulus was already friends with both james and marlene so being friends with lily was just a natural extension of that you know?

lily thinks it's hilarious how out of touch regulus is with Normal People Life, but she's occasionally a little appalled by it (see: you don't know how the stove works in your childhood home????) - everything's normal and then regulus says something Obnoxiously Rich and she has to pause and remember that he barely set foot in a kitchen, much less a laundry room, until after graduation from hogwarts

lily also likes movies (especially once she's spending a lot more time shut up at home and needs something to do) and regulus is a good movie watching buddy because a) he's bewildered and fascinated by All These Muggle Weapons (lily likes action movies) and b) he wants to catch literally every word of dialogue so he doesn't talk over the movie like SOME PEOPLE (sirius)

i think a lot of regulus and lily's friendship at hogwarts in the later years (once they knew each other better) was lily being like 'oh my god these people are nuts' and regulus being like 'right?' and lily being like 'i'm including you in that' and regulus being like 'oh. fair enough i suppose'

lily also gets interrogated about muggle idioms by regulus. he's very unclear on what she means by '*my* god'

marlene has feral short person energy and she and regulus encourage each other

neither of them is remotely afraid of heights or of falling to their death or of faceplanting on the ground and breaking their entire body, which means quidditch practices were very fun for them and Very Stressful for everyone else (mostly james)

like the rest of the gryffindor team is minding their own business practicing and then they hear marlene and regulus cackling and dive-bombing some arbitrary point on the ground at the other end of the pitch

this attitude of 'i am invincible unless proven otherwise' did mean that regulus got taken out of games a LOT due to injuries so marlene being the reserve seeker meant she actually played a lot of matches sjflskghjskfhsj - i feel like at some point there was definitely a match in which regulus was taken out due to an injury, marlene went in, and then MARLENE got injured and james was like 'i know how to fix this. someone run to the hospital wing and tell regulus to come back' and regulus (just got his broken arm fixed) is like ALRIGHT I AM ON MY WAY

and then he and marlene probably high fived as they switched off

madam pomfrey considered early retirement but it was easier to just wait for them to graduate

since marlene and regulus spent pretty much entire quidditch practices hanging out with each other, they had a lot of time to talk as the years went on, so that's how they got close - they weren't each other's best friends, but marlene is definitely regulus's closest non-marauder friend (that was the case even before regulus started sort of counting lily as a marauder)

#FINISHED MY LIT REVIEW!!!!!#so i'll be responding to another ask #i'm trying to get ahead on assignments this weekend #before* this weekend #so u are welcome to keep sending in questions!! im rlly enjoying answering them #and seeing what sticks out to people #should i make an inbox tag #set those ghosts alight

Sirius Black. Black. The name was enough to make witches and wizards bow their heads before him. Why not? He was a Black! The Black family is the most ancient and purest blood family in the Wizarding world; they were one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. They were most respected and honored in the society and had highest status. Their wealth was unlimited; generations could stay unemployed and yet will have enough money for luxuries. Sirius was raised to feel proud for who he is, his family and his name. His dear mother, Walburga Black, was always there to remind him and his younger brother, Regulus, of how pure they were, how handsome and perfect they were, how much worthier and better they were than half-bloods and muggle-borns (“scums and mudbloods” in her wording). However Sirius never bought any of this. Deep down, Sirius was always curious about muggles and why blood purity mattered so much. And if he ever mistakenly thought of it loudly, he would receive another deep cut on his small back. He and his brother was taught only about blood status and how important it was for them to keep it safe and pure as they were the only male Blacks born in their generation.

Being a rebellious kid, Sirius decided to break generations of Black tradition by getting sorted to different house but Slytherin when he received his Hogwarts acceptance letter. Though he allowed his mother to coo at what a handsome Slytherin he’ll be and that green and silver matched so well with him, Sirius in his mind had no intention of being a part of his family’s tradition or beliefs.

James Potter. Another rebellious pure-blood of the generation with wealth and fame- his father had invented the internationally famous hair potion. As James came very late in his parents’ lives and was also the only child, the amount of love he received was limitless. He grew up in a big house with big yard and no scarcity to materials. Thus he grew up to become arrogant and egoistic as his parents never made him feel down or unimportant. Yet, he was the most generous and protective of his loved ones without much to his notice.

No one was as excited about receiving the Hogwrtas letter as James was. He was going to learn magic! Most importantly, he was going to have his own Quidditch team to play with! After getting attacked with kisses from his mother and hugs from his father, James hurried off into the Hogwarts Express and looked for an empty compartment. Finally, he found one, except it wasn’t empty. A girl with dark red hair was sitting beside the window, her head pressed against the window sill.

“Do you mind if I sit?”

“No”

She didn’t turn to look at him; her eyes were fixed outside of the window and on the station where families were still waving off to their kids and shouting last reminders. James heaved his trunk into the compartment and slid the door shut-waiting for the train to start. Within a minute, the compartment door slid open and a tall, dark haired boy poked his head in, scanned the compartment and his eyes landed on James’s

“Uh…other compartments are full…can I sit here…?”

“Yes.”

“Sure.”

The red haired girl (without turning her head to look) and James replied at once. Both James and the black haired boy stared at the girl. Shrugging, James gestured the boy to enter and helped him with the trunk.

“I’m James. James Potter.”

“I’m Sirius Black,” said Sirius, a little taken aback at how normal James was when he said his name-he just smiled and nodded.

Within a minute, James and Sirius started taking interest in each other. They talked about Quidditch and other random topics as the train started to move. The red-haired girl, finally, tore her eyes away from the window and leaned her head on the head of the couch, sighing.

A moment later, Severus hurried out of his compartment to look for Lily. Where was she? He looked into almost every compartment until he finally found her sitting beside a window, her eyes closed. “There you are!” He sat in front of her and grinned at her but she didn’t return the smile; she turned away.

Severus Snape was never taken care of and received little or any affection. His life at home was filled with constant arguments of his parents as he lay forgotten on the corner of his small house, praying desperately for another family. Severus would forget about his trouble and abuse at home whenever he would have the chance to stay with Lily Evans, a pretty red-haired girl from the muggle town, who, thankfully, showed signs of magic. They built quite a very strong bond and became best friends within weeks. Severus filled Lily with all the information he knew about Hogwarts and the Wizarding World while Lily marveled and waited longingly for her Hogwarts acceptance letter.

As their friendship grew stronger, Severus’s dislike towards Lily’s sister, Petunia Evans, also grew deeper. Petunia also had no liking toward Severus so she wouldn’t miss an opportunity to discourage Lily to not talk to “the boy from Spinner’s End”. However, Lily refused to listen to her, “So what if he’s from the Spinner’s End? What if he’s poor and has ugly clothes? He didn’t get to choose his life, you know.” Severus couldn’t help but melt at how sweet and kind this muggleborn girl was.

Lily Evans was a bright, small and cheery girl with thick, dark red hair. She was a lovely daughter to her parents and an amazing friend to her elder sister, Petunia. Petunia and Lily shared a very stable and strong friendship; they would share their silly secrets, treats and help eachother to steal their mother’s make up. While Lily was playful and a bit clumsy, Petunia was a well kept girl and liked to stick to the rules. Nevertheless, this didn’t stop them from being the most dynamic duo. Petunia always cared for her sister and, even though she would complain it wasn’t right to do, would help Lily pull pranks and jokes. They were best friends!

Until he came. . .

Until he became more interesting than Petunia because he was just as ‘magical’ as Lily. . .

Until the letter came. . .

Until Lily was labeled as the ‘special’ one. . .

Until Petunia called Lily a “Freak!”

No words could express the sorrow Lily felt in her small, young heart. No one knew how horrible Lily felt when the word, “Freak” left Petunia’s lips. I’m not a freak! Tears gushed from Lily’s eyes and ran down her cheeks as she bit her lower lip. She turned around when she saw a messy, black haired boy draw near her compartment. Another boy also entered the compartment later but she didn’t turn to look at them-she couldn’t let them see her red, puffy eyes.

“There you are!”

A wave of frustration rushed through Lily when she heard the familiar voice as the compartment door slid open for the third time.

“I don’t want to talk to you.”

“Why not?”

“Tuney h-hates me. Because we saw that letter from Dumbledore.”

“So what?”

“So she’s my sister!”

She couldn’t believe it. You don’t care about my relationship with my sister!?

The other boys took no notice in Lily and Severus until the latter mentioned Slytherin.

“Slytherin? Who wants to be in Slytherin?”

James was in shock. People really want to be in Slytherin? How nasty!

“ ‘Gryffindore, where dwell the brave at heart.’ Like my dad,” James replied when Sirius asked which house he preferred.

Severus snickered at him.

“Got a problem with that?” James asked, coldly.

“No. If you’d rather be brawny than brainy-

Brawny or brainy? I can be both. I will be both. I’ll prove it, you little-

Before James could reply, Sirius spat, “Where’re you hoping to go, seeing as you’re neither?”

James roared with laughter.

Lily was shocked at how Severus mocked the two strangers and how they talked back! She took Severus’s hand and left the compartment, disgusted at the two boys, who called him “Snivellus”. How rude. Really, I thought magical people would at least know some manners!

Beside this compartment was another compartment filled with a different group of first year students. Amongst them was a small, mousy haired boy, sitting beside the window. His face was hidden behind a large book. There were deep cuts on his face and scratches on his skinny forearms.

“Hi, I’m Peter Pettigrew,” said a round, watery-eyed boy to him.

Looking from the top of his book, the mousy haired boy muttered, “I’m Remus Lupin.”

“Anything from the trolley, dears?” the compartment door slid open and the trolley women came in. At the sight of the lady, Remus dropped his book and shot up.

“Me.”

Peter’s mouth fell open as he got to see Remus’s face clearly for the first time.

“Oh, it’s just a bad accident,” Remus said, waving a careless hand when he realized Peter staring at his scars.

Was it really a ‘bad accident’?

Remus Lupin was attacked by a werewolf named Fenrir Greyback when he was only five years old. Fenrir attacked Remus to take revenge on Lyall Lupin, Remus’s father. Lyall Lupin was working against werewolves and believed that werewolves did not deserve living in the world. Little Remus had to suffer for his father’s mistakes. He couldn’t understand why his parents moved to an isolated place to live, why his parents forbade him to befriend anyone, why he would once a month wake up naked in their warehouse, why his body ached all over, why his small, skinny body had innumerable cuts or how and why his fragile bones crack into a vicious monster, every month.

Until Remus was seven year old, when he was fully able to read and write. He would read anything and everything he found. He was so smart for his age that big volumes of books were a piece of cake for him. That is when Remus learned about his lycanthropy.

“Mum. . .wh-what am I?”

The words crushed Mrs Lupin’s heart. She couldn’t look at her son-her beautiful, smart, innocent son. She dropped whatever was in her hands and ran over to her son and hugged him tight. Oh no. She could feel her son’s bones crushing under her arms.

“Wh-what d-do you mean?” Mrs Lupin muttered.

“Mum, am I a monster? Am I bad?”

NO, love, no! You’re my son, not a monster! Mrs Lupin wanted to shout it to her son but she felt she lost her voice. Her boy was facing a crucial reality not even adults deserve to. He’s just a boy!

“N-n-no, son. Remus, my sweet boy, you’re the best boy I’ve ever met. You can NEVER be bad.”

“Then I’m a monster? I. . .I know I am, mum. . .”

Sitting across the kitchen table was Mr Lupin, hiding his face behind the newspaper as silent tears fell from his eyes. He couldn’t take it anymore. His boy was suffering the worst punishment. . .

From then on, Remus started building the worst inferiority complex by isolating himself, even from his parents. He would preoccupy himself with books and lock himself up in his room. Before every full moon, he would go to their warehouse alone and return once the full moon was over. Remus Lupin was small, fragile and innocent but his world was harsh and old.

After buying almost all the chocolate frogs from the trolley lady, Remus settled himself in his sit and started unwrapping chocolates. Peter, meanwhile, bought packs of Every flavoured beans and cauldron cakes. Remus and Peter started trading chocolates and cakes as Remus took interest in the quiet, shy boy. Their conversations wouldn’t last long for Remus wasn’t the best at socializing and Peter would get nervous for talking too long and would busy himself to finish his cakes.

Peter Pettigrew would always chew on his fingernails and bite his lips. When he was young boy, he showed signs of magic very late than average. His family almost counted him as a Squib so they would try and force magic out of him. Though Peter did prove himself to be a wizard, his family’s mocking of him being slow made him to actually believe he was stupid and that Hogwarts would never accept a half-squib like him. However, fortunately, he did receive the acceptance letter which, though delighted his family, didn’t help Peter gain any confidence in himself.

oo this looks fun! :D

wolfstar!! (tho i love jily too)

I lean towards post-Hogwarts, tho I like MWPP fics that do something unique & distinct from the usual fanon!

post-Azkaban all the way!!! those soft hurt/comfort reunions <3 (I love a good Lost Years fic too, but post-Azkaban is my fav era overall)

definitely Peter (he at least started off 'good' & was genuinely their friend; Snape was, is, and will always be a gross racist incel)

honestly I love both, but if I had to pick one I'd probably choose Sirius & Lily (but only as long as it's NOT in the context of making Sirius super femme). Remus & Lily is a very cute friendship dynamic, but it's kind of done to death imo, and it's so frequently used to set them both up as foils to the James-and-Sirius duo (ie, the 'Smart Prefects vs Dumb Jocks' trope) which I'm really not into. I'd also love to see the Remus & James friendship explored more!!

(& here's a few more... // Canon Compliant, Canon Divergence AU, or alternate setting AU? // Quidditch player Sirius: yes or no? // wolfstar raising Harry AU, or jily lives AU? // full moon adventures, or post-moon hurt/confort? which Black Sheep dynamic: Sirius & Regulus, Sirius & Alphard, or Sirius & Andromeda?)

marauders themed asks

wolfstar or jily? mwpp era or post hogwarts fics? the lost years or post azkaban? snape or peter? lily and remus friendship or lily and sirius friendship?

#ask meme #wolfstar #jily #Marauders #Sirius Black #Remus Lupin #James Potter #Peter Pettigrew #Lily Evans #Severus Snape #Regulus Black #Andromeda Black #Alphard Black #-this was fun!

PLOT PLEASE

[send ‘plot please!’ and I’ll give you a plot I want for our muses!]

i know you know about the very special super au i’d love to write with you, so i’m going to give you some new things instead. because this is a meme and a meme calls for new things.

I LIED HERE’S THE VERY SPECIAL SUPER AU I’VE YELLED AT YOU ABOUT

When Regulus is ten or so, he wakes up to the news of his parents deaths. No one really knows for certain how it happened (there’s rumours it could have been a poisoning, a cursing, a cursed poisoning, Orion owing money to the Centaur mafia which allegedly exists (it doesn’t), or part of some sort of initiation (unconfirmed)), and isn’t given very much time to process it before he’s whisked away to the Potter’s.

He’s heard about James from Sirius (mostly through owls), and suddenly they’re both living in this strange house where the stairs creak because they’re old (and not because something might be trying to escape the floorboards), the mother scolds instead of screeching, and, all in all, is the antithesis of the Black Household. When he joins Hogwarts the next year, he:

> is sorted into Gryffindor, and Sirius cheers a lot. Regulus is thoroughly embarrassed by his and James’ “parenting” (yes, it’s parenting), but is appointed a guest-marauder. > is sorted into Slytherin, and Sirius boos a lot and demands a redo (loudly, with James). Regulus is thoroughly embarrassed by his and James’ parenting (yes, it’s still parenting), and is appointed a guest-marauder.

Now, there are a few different things that can happen here. If Regulus is in Gryffindor, he’s absorbed into the group (partially). But, if he’s in Slytherin…

Could you, for a moment, close your eyes (just the one eye maybe, so you can still read), and imagine the large scale prank war that would erupt between Sirius and Regulus if they’re on good terms but in different houses? Because I have imagined it, extensively. And it is beautiful.

Additionally, Regulus is often smuggled into Gryffindor Tower for plotting and meetings. This is important, because–as a marauder in a different year and house–this expands their reach. Pranks no longer last for a class–they last for at least two. Sirius and Regulus and James are brothers, rather than just James and Sirius, and Regulus is treated with as much (dis)respect as anyone else.

Bonus points if it’s post-war, Regulus was secret keeper and “God-Uncle” (we have discussed this but it is an important title and there will be a ceremony), and Sirius takes 25-year-old Regulus to Godric’s Hollow for playdates with Harry (let him parent you. Let them read you bedtime stories. There’s no escape. He’ll put a Trace on you, break into your home, loom over your bed, and ask if you’ve been eating properly).

In all seriousness though, I love this au, and I have no problems with it going in any direction. You are aware of my strong feelings.

MARAUDER ERA

After duelling (brawling) in the halls, Sirius and Regulus are sent to Hagrid for joint detention. They end up in the forest (no, Hagrid didn’t want them in the forest. In fact, he specifically told them not to go into the forest) after one attempted bonding exercise gone wrong, and quickly get lost.

Sirius is already an animagus by this point, but does not want Regulus to know (for obvious reasons). Fortunately, this means that Sirius isn’t actually lost, but he rather likes seeing Regulus all uneasy. Everything is fine for a while, until they start to hear things.

Strange things. Funny noises.

Laughter.

Then, they hear Regulus’ voice repeating the last thing he said. It sounds off–mechanical somehow, and not really natural. They’re in an awfully dark part of the forest, and while Sirius still has an idea of where they are, they’ve gone a bit further than he and the Marauders usually do.

Then, from just up ahead, they see a flash of green and silver, followed by a flash of red and gold.

Hagrid hadn’t told them he was babysitting skinwalkers. Which is a bit terrible, really, because now they’ve been marked.

ORDER ERA

After a fight between Order members and Death Eaters in an unused portion of the London Underground, there’s a cave in (which Sirius definitely didn’t cause). Thankfully, everyone is safe and on the right side of the cave in–except, predictably, one particular Death Eater and one particular Order member.

I know this doesn’t seem very interesting, but if they’re both injured and there is a time limit, then what are they going to do? Continue the fight? Talk it out? Try to escape? Murder each other? Try to convince the other to switch? There’s a fight on the other side continuing, and whoever wins will dig them out. What are eachgoing to do, depending on which side finds them?

SECOND WAR ERA

Now, I don’t know very much about your verse for this, but Sirius is already pretty sure he’s lost his shit after Azkaban. So what if… he was maybe found in a cave… by a Regulus who hadn’t aged? He’s going to think this is a dream or a hallucination, and there’s… this is a bad idea it’d hurt.

EVERYTHING IS FINE AZKABAN IS AN ILLUSION AND REGULUS WAS NEVER GETTING KILLED FOR THE AESTHETIC…but there’s still that pesky war-ERA

JUST SAYING, IT MIGHT BE FUN TO HUNT HORCRUXES AS A DYNAMIC DUO (James can’t, he has a wife and kid, and Remus is too busy doing other things, and Regulus is right there! Reformedish! The Dark Lord is gone, but no one other than Regulus knows about the horcruxes. Sirius is right there, ready for action, pls Reg let him in on the secret. You can go on a big brotherly adventure)

#I STILL DON'T KNOW IF I'M DOING THIS RIGHT #i froze tho i had all these ideas #then i open my asks #*claps hands* gone #I HOPE THESE SUFFICE? I'LL YELL AT YOU ABOUT OTHER ONES ANYWAY #agony uncle (ask)#the defected one #*note: the skinwalkers aren't actually witches like they are in folklore #i just didn't know what to call them bc they dO THE SAME THING and maybe eat u #idk those are all minor horrifying details #nothing i should be thinking about at 10pm #definitely not scaring myself here

So all the gay ships lol (mood)

ALSO YES PANDORA!!

remus as a character!! incredibly good i really love him, it’s admiration, his dynamic with literally every character? i’m a fan. i wouldn’t say i’m a kinnie, not quite, but he’s quite literally everything i wish i could be

YES SO MUCH I LOVE HIM

THE BLACK BROTHERS i’ve read so much angst and i don’t even like angst, they make me insane i truly care so much for them, good star brother development will always do it for me!!

Oo I like that!

Personally, for those characters I agree with James, Marlene and Mary, and though I often see Remus and Sirius as switched, both work really well

And then in an opinion that I seem to be fighting a losing battle on with the rise of jegulus lol, I actually tend to hc Reg as aroace more than gay or anything, but if he weren't aroace to me he definitely wouldn't be straight either

I love how this fandom was like "ok so it's the 1970s in Britain and JKR is being transphobic, let's make Harry's dad and his friends gay. All of them. Hogwarts/the wizarding world is the perfect utopia for gay people. Oh and Remus loves chocolate and is dating Harry's godfather [and i shall for everyone's sake remove the tastless joke I was going to put here lmao]"

(barty and evan are simply barty and evan, god knows what goes on)

Yeah both of them are very much willing to fuck you up if you ask them for more details then that lol

i’ve also been reading such funny hcs from barty and sirius so i think their dynamic is literally a hot mess, love them, it’s like someone finally matching your freak in a way it even kind of angers you..

Oo I don't think I've ever seen that pairing beofre

remus friendships!! remus and lily are so warm to me, i can see myself in both their personalities so it’s like having my two braincells work together. remus and james just make me so happy i think they both find such comfort in the other, james is a cuddler and remus indulges oh how i love them!

YES!! FIRST OF ALL MOONFLOWER IS INCREDIBLE (also i feel like we should call it lupinus, lupine or bluebonnet but that's just because I'm a flower nerd lol) AND ALSO REMUS GETTING TO HAVE FRIENDS AFTER HE THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD BE ALONE FOREVER>>>>

if someone has a fic rec

i thought this was going to have a nice ending 🤡🤡

🥺 i love them so so much <//3

Sirius had silky smooth, dark brown - almost black - hair that when grown long enough curled at the ends. His eyes were a stormy grey, but some days could appear a stone color.

NO BECAUSE WHY DO THEY KEEP ALLOWING THIS 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊

“Siri, it’s okay, I promise.” Y/n assured, and Sirius shook his head, “What- What if you get chosen? What am I gonna do?”

he didn't deserve to lose somebody else 🥺😭 it's not fair

It was so low barely anyone heard, but it made Y/n stop in her tracks, “Y/n Potter!” The Professor exclaimed again.

😶 i'm just going to ... leave.

“No! I won't let you take her from me!” Sirius bellowed as tears finally streamed down his cheeks, “This isn’t fair! There’s only supposed to be three!”

😭😭😭😭😭😭 STOP NO I CANT MY LOVE HE DESERVES SO MUCH BETTER

that stupid fucking maze 😔. well at least alex won </3

i am TIRED of the potter's getting the worst of it all. i am so sad now, help.

well i just got my heart broken- so let me just go read some fluff now :')

Fame & Glory | S.B

Paring: Young!Sirius Black X Fem!Potter!Reader

Summary: Y/n Potter goes through the Triwizard Tournament.

Word Count: 3.4K

Nonetheless, they all loved a challenge.

“Siri, it’s okay, I promise.” Y/n assured, and Sirius shook his head, “What- What if you get chosen? What am I gonna do?”

Y/n smirked, “You’re gonna watch me win.”

“Not if I get picked,” James tutted, “Then I’ll watch you lose.”

Another name had been released from the red flame, “The member from Beauxbatons compete it in the Triwizard Tournament is Alexandrine Fabien!”

Finally, the last name spewed out from the cup, “And finally, the last member from Hogwarts compete it in the Triwizard Tournament is Valorie Holland!”

“Y/n Potter…”

It was so low barely anyone heard, but it made Y/n stop in her tracks, “Y/n Potter!” The Professor exclaimed again.

James froze in his spot, and Sirius felt like he was going to sob, “Blimey, Y/n go.” Remus pushed her forward, and she stood.

“No!” Sirius croaked, “You can’t take her!”

“Mr. Black-“ McGonagall tried.

“No! I won't let you take her from me!” Sirius bellowed as tears finally streamed down his cheeks, “This isn’t fair! There’s only supposed to be three!”

McGonagall sighed, “Mr. Black, it is best you calm down. Everything will be handled in due time.”

Remus nodded, “We understand, Professor McGonagall. Don’t we, Sirius?”

“How did you do it?”

“P- Pardon me, sir?”

Dumbledores eyes narrowed, “How did you make your name come out?”

“I didn’t!” Y/n whined, “I promise!“

McGonagall placed a hand on Dumbledores shoulder, “She mustn’t have done it. Leave her be, Professor.”

“Y/n…” His voice was creaky and hoarse, but it made her smile, “Hey, Siri.”

“Love you.” Sirius muttered, overcoming with sleep but placed a kiss on her shoulder.

“Love you too, darling.”

“C’mon, lovebirds, wake up!” James’ voice echoed.

“Merlin, James.” Y/n rubbed her eyes, “You’re heavy.”

James feigned offense, “How dare you! I am as light as a feather.”

Sirius snorted, “Whatever you say, mate.”

“Could you get off us, please?” Y/n queried, “I’d rather you not break my hip.”

James hopped off them both, and they both sat up, “Then you could match Moony!”

Remus threw his copy of the Daily Prophet at him making James rub the top of his head, “Ow!”

“I’m hungry.” Peter announced, “Let’s go.”

He had just handed over the Potion when a knock echoed in the dorm, “Can I come in?”

“Yeah!”

Frank Longbottom entered the dorm - Head Boy, “McGonagall needs Sirius Black in her office.”

James gave a low whistle, “What’d you do now?”

“Dunno.” Sirius shrugged.

Before the task, James took her in for a tight embrace, “You gotta win this, okay?”

“Yeah,” Y/n nodded, “I got this. I’m a Potter. I can do this.”

James smiled, “That’s my sister.”

He kissed her on the forehead before Sirius tackled her into a hug, “You’re gonna do great.”

“Thanks, Siri.”

“Just be careful,” Sirius reeled back to look at her eyes, “This is extremely dangerous, and I dunno what I’ll do if something happens to you.”

Y/n kissed his cheek, “I’ll be fine.”

“You get it. I’ve won everything else.” Y/n confessed, but Alexandrine had a look of guilt on her face.

“That wouldn’t be fair.”

“I don’t need glory or fame,” Y/n retorted, “My family has enough of it.”

Alex looked contradicted, “Together, then?”

“Together.” Y/n agreed.

“Y/n Potter, is it?”

Y/n shivered at the deep, rumbling voice, “So you’re the famous Potter in the prophecy.”

“Prophecy?” Y/n questioned, “Those- Those aren’t real.”

She could feel his chuckle before she heard it, “But they are, sweetheart. And you,” He appeared from the woods, “Are a threat to my mission.”

“Mission?” Alex sent Y/n a worried glance, “What’s your mission?”

“No need for information.” He replied calmly, “I gave you as much as you need.”

“I have a job for you.”

“A job?”

“Take Potter back to Hogwarts,” The man ordered, “Tell them that Voldemort is here to claim what’s rightfully his.”

“Y/n…” James pleaded, “Wake up!”

Everyone went silent as James cried, “This isn’t funny anymore!”

James looked to the crowd, “She’s- She's just playing a prank on us.”

Sirius stared at James’ face, a mixture of grief and tears, “Sirius, she’s- she’s just playing, right? You guys- you guys must’ve planned this!”

“Mate…” Sirius muttered, trying to hold back his tears, “We- We didn’t plan anything.”

The Potters did earn their fame and glory, just not for the right reasons.
