#marauders era headcanons

[harbinger-0f-spring]

While in Azkaban, Barty had one singular window that outlooked into the unmarked gravesite of the prison keep where all the detained individuals and criminals killed by Aurors were buried.

Barty never took his eyes off that window. He could never bring himself to look away from that graveyard.

Somewhere below the fields of dead grass lie Evan's body.

james and lily married too young and then they realize they're just very good friends, so they divorce.

they both date other people (respectively regulus and mary), and lily is regulus' emergency contact because he trust more his boyfriend's ex-wife rather than him.

Remus is a hot chocolate addict, and Lily makes the best hot chocolate, so they’re best friends

[wolvesandshine]

The reason Regulus had to die was cause he would have definitely broken Sirius out of Azkaban no questions asked and then they would have murdered both voldemort and dumbledore

[florence-not-italy]

so like james and sirius had one of these

[olga-antonovna]

Regulus Black’s Amortentia smelled like dark chocolate and cigarettes.

Yan!Severus Snape vs Yan!Sirius Black w/Slytherin!Reader (platonic/romantic)

(Based off this concept)

Part 1: Severus Snape

There wasn’t a single soul that Severus truly cared for other than Lily and he couldn’t fathom anyone even coming close to her in his mind. But he had a change of heart when you came into his life.

In the beginning you had just been another face in the crowd at Hogwarts, but you were in the same house as him, he knew that much. Other than that he didn’t give you much mind, he was too caught up with Lily after all. It hadn’t been till after his fallout with her that he genuinely remembers any interaction with you. It had been during one of the many times James and his idiotic friends had seeked him out and made a fool out of him that he remembers truly noticing you.

You had come to his defense, or rather his rescue really but he’d never admit it even to this day. You threw a few jinxes their way and had them running for the hills, he couldn’t remember ever laughing as much as he had when remembering that moment, if ever. Not only did you humiliate them like they had done to him countless times but the things you said about them after they ran off were just too good to forget.

Of course he had waited until he was all alone before allowing himself a fit of laughter and a small half smile at the events that he’d witnessed. You didn’t look like much, he’d be honest, but you really gave James and Sirius especially a good jinxing. Since that day, Severus had made much more of an effort to pay attention to you.

After everything, you hadn’t mentioned anything from that day. You hadn’t even really interacted with Severus again. He was grateful of that but a small part of him wished or rather hoped that you would have talked to him, even just a measly ‘hello’. But it was for the best, at least that’s what he told himself at first.

Eventually, Severus had started unconsciously scouring the common room for you, it if wasn’t the common room then it was the sea of students making their ways through the halls. It went on a while before he actually caught himself doing it. By the time he had, Severus had already taken to walking closer to you when going to classes or even sitting nearer to you in the dining hall. He never strayed too close for comfort or for you to notice but close enough for him. The more he did it and the longer he got away with it, the bolder he got. Soon enough it became routine following you around, whether it was the library or quidditch practice, Severus was always around wherever you were. It was pretty easy given being part of the same house. It would have been even easier if you two were in the same dorm as well but he didn’t mind just waiting for you in the common room.

He’s completely thrown for a loop when one day you confront him about his behavior. He was under the impression that he had been very subtle in his endeavors, that was his mistake. You deserved much more credit then he first thought, you were a fellow snake after all. Severus did have every intention of talking to you eventually but he wanted to get a feel for who you were before he did invest himself fully into being more than mere housemates or even acquaintances. He wanted to know what you were all about, what he would be getting himself into before taking the plunge. That was reasonable, wasn’t it? He can’t really put his finger on the exact reason why he was acting the way he was. He had only recently caught himself doing it at all but he supposed there had to have been an answer, he just didn’t know what it was yet.

Honestly, Severus would be completely taken aback once he’s realized what he’s been doing all this time, finally settling in exactly how long he’s been sticking just a little too close to you. Why was he acting like this? This certainly wasn’t the norm for him, at least not regarding someone who wasn’t Lily. Was that it? Was he just using you as a replacement for Lily? Or was it something more than that? Did he genuinely want a, dare he say, friendship with you? Was he really willing to open himself up to someone else like that? Well, it had to be something like that otherwise why would he bother doing everything that he was. Even if it was ‘unconsciously’.

From then, Severus and you had become more openly acquainted with one another. He wasn’t quite ready to call you a friend yet, hell he probably never would, at least not vocally and out in the open. But in his mind that’s exactly what you were. You were his friend, a real friend. You weren’t like the other Slytherins, your interactions weren’t based off appearances, status, or anything of that sort. It was easy for him to be around you, unlike everyone else. He didn’t have to pretend or put in any unnecessary effort, something he was quite appreciative of. You didn’t ask anything of him, you didn’t expect anything of him and it was nice.

He wasn’t exactly the talkative type early on and even later he still wasn’t but he talked more in your company than he ever did with anyone else and that was definitely saying something. Even with Lily. And he could speak about whatever when he was with you, even if you didn’t necessarily agree with him, but you didn’t have to and that’s one of the biggest things he found himself enjoying in your friendship acquaintanceship. Neither of you had to agree with the other to be friends, you didn’t have to exactly be on the same page to still be around one another.

After getting to be around you more openly, Severus had truly grown accustomed to it. It became more of a discomfort and oddity for him not to be near your side on the rare occasions he wasn’t. And he despised it. It made him feel vulnerable and left out in the open. But he could tolerate it, for a time. But the second he was able to reclaim his place near you again he was back to feeling content. It hadn’t really been made apparent to him just how much he detested other people around you; talking to you, having your attention on them. Even if they were merely standing or sitting near you without so much as taking up any of your time or energy. He didn’t know why, he didn’t even really know how long that had become an issue in the first place but it very much so was and now he was well aware of it.

Severus especially had a hard time when it came to students from other houses taking up your time and attention. He could be tolerable towards his fellow Slytherins (to an extent) but when it came to anyone, especially the Gryffindors, something deep inside him would make itself known. Particularly regarding a certain few, especially a certain pureblood mutt.

Severus couldn’t believe how long it had taken him to pick up on it but it was right there in front of him. It seemed as though that fateful day you had defended him and garnered his attention, you also piqued the attention of someone else. Someone much more annoying and infuriatingly stubborn.

No cuz we should talk about Evan mf rosier more like ppl are "I LOVE EVAN SM" And we don't even have hcs for him at all he's just horny little maniac

[snoflurriee]

marlene has the same energy as those little dogs who think they're bigger than god

[maxdibert]

James Potter is the kind of guy who, if you tell him you're not into men, he'll say something like that's just because you haven't met a real man to show you what you're missing and wink at you a couple of times because he genuinely thinks the world revolves around his homophobic, macho dick.

Headcanon: Pandora was not as innocent as she appeared; her quirky and dreamy disposition was what left her underestimated. In reality, she got up to just as much mischief as the Marauders, if not more; the only difference was that Pandora didn't get caught.

[unnecessaryheadache]

Eileen probably died when Snape was still a kid. There's no way she could've lived that long in that house, she probably fell sick or committed, or maybe she just gave up one day and fell asleep, never to wake up again.

What if it was on his birthday? The one birthday he'd be looking forward to seeing her. What if his father did it? What if he ran after doing it? It could be old age too, sure, but I feel like that's least likely.

[curiouslymyown]

Are you also thinking about harry potters dead dads best friends brothers best friends twin sister or are you normal

[wolvesandshine]

Remus *angrily*: Were you dropped on your head as a child?

Sirius: Yes actually. Multiple times. To ensure my magic was working or whatever.

Remus: Now I’m just sad for you

[florence-not-italy]

i can imagine after third year the marauders opted vastly differently for their subjects. yes, codependency, but also some necessary individuality. but what this meant, was that the core subjects they did have together were absolutely insufferable for anybody who wasn't james or sirius. those two were all over each other like they hadn't seen each other since they were drafted to war.

Headcanon that Barty Crouch Junior’s Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher actually turned him into a snake one a day when he was being particularly bratty (similarly to how Barty transformed Draco into a ferret). Ever since he was turned back into a human he’s made a habit of licking his lips which could’ve been a permanent side-effect from the change.

Bonus: he still had his forked tongue from his time as a snake which no doubt turned Evan on.
