Never ever do an egg hunt the marauders set up. Never. It's all traps and pranks

The marauders put up posters for their "fun school wide egg hunt" and too many people didn't pay attention to who set it up

The eggs exploded color onto people, grew legs and ran away, and all kinds of other bullshit

Those poor naive students

Marauders as shit my friends have said

James : it is near Paris, in France

Remus : and where exactly did you think Paris was?

James : *whisper* in France?

Remus : ofc we knew it, idiot. You didn't have to specify the country

Sirius : he was js trying to help!

Um so, I just saw a tiktok that said stags usually don’t live past the age of 20…

I might shrivel up and die now.

as desperately as sirius wanted to be the cool aunt figure to harry, he was 100 percent the coddling aunt who pinched cheeks and stuffed him full of food every time he came over. remus was the cool aunt who would take him to places he wasn't supposed to go and covered for him when he wanted to sneak out, and sirius was jealous

Snippet Time

Thank you @goldenlionprince and @lilacella for the tag. Since it's you two, I better find another Sirius and James moment.

This one isn't entirely spoiler-free so if anyone seeing this is planning to start reading Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs in the next couple of weeks, maybe skip this extract (on the other hand, it's a spoiler for chapter 1.. so... not spoiling a tonne). If you're just looking for a cute snippet of James and Sirius, keep reading <3

I'll put the tags here first, for good measure. No pressure, as usual: @caslyra @tedwardremus @livelaughlovetoread

He wasn't going to wake James. He just needed—no, not needed, wanted—to check in on his friend. Sirius eased himself into a chair as silently as he could. 

It was a relief to see James sleep. He knew it wasn't always easy with the poisoning. 

'You owe me big time for this Christmas,' Sirius muttered. 'It was meant to be fun.'

Instead it had felt wrong.

It wasn't that he didn't enjoy parts of it. He and Peter had enjoyed a far livelier Christmas tea than Sirius had ever experienced in his life. Prewett—that was, Fabian Prewett—had challenged him to a game of Wizard's Chess after curfew on Christmas Eve. Prewett had won, but only just and it appeared to impress Prewett who had suggested they found time for a re-match. Sirius had agreed, otherwise only having Peter as an opponent, which was no challenge. 

Objectively, it had been a good Christmas. Much better than Grimmauld Place. And yet, he had enough loyalty in him to find the break loathsome too.

'Why did you have to go and get yourself poisoned?' Sirius asked the sleeping figure. 

But Sirius didn't need James to answer that one. His best friend thrived best when being in the thick of things. That came with risks. 

'No risk, no story, huh?' Sirius repeated their mantra out loud. 'I guess this is some story.' He felt his lips curl into a smirk: 'Shame you're not really able to tell it... Yet,' he added, smirk turning to grimace: 'Merlin, you're going to be insufferable when you're let out of here, aren't you?'

James talked. A lot. Which might be why Sirius was talking out loud to absolutely nobody, now his friend was unable to fill the space he usually occupied.

'It's not been a bad Christmas,' Sirius finished, 'not for us. I just...'

Miss you.

Sirius shrugged. Invisible. To a sleeping body. He was losing his mind. 

Shame. He rather liked his mind.

Sirius leaned back in the chair and watched James for another half an hour. When James started to cough, Sirius got up, knowing that if it got bad, the matron would turn up. The cloak didn't make him any less solid, unfortunately. 

He couldn't bring himself to wish James a happy Christmas, even in his own head.

Love this! I've always had a headcanon that James was the only marauders who joined the Order because he truly believed it. Not that the others didn't believe in the mission, I just don't think it was their primary reasoning.

James joined because he believed that blood purity was dumb & wanted to help protect/save the Wizarding world.

Remus doesn't even believe that he'll ever actually find himself treated equally in a Wizarding society, but he genuinely believe that he owes everything to Dumbledore & immediately joins out of obligation.

Sirius joined because James and Remus did & because it put him in direct opposition to his parents & their beliefs. While he also wants a better world, again, it's not his primary motivator.

Peter joins solely because his friends did and he craves security. He wants to feel safe and there's a war and all of his friends join, so he does, too. Because his motivator was security, though, and not loyalty, or belief in justice, or desire to rebel, he was the easiest to sway. Once his security amongst his friends was threatened, he turned to the next person he could get it from - the people who were already leading the war.

Sorry, but Sirius Black was a privileged brat who supported causes superficially without understanding discrimination or making an effort to do so. Throughout his story, we repeatedly see behaviors that could easily belong to members of his own family, only instead of directing them at "Mudbloods," he targets other groups: poor half-bloods, werewolves, house-elves... Because Sirius Black never understood his own privilege, nor did he understand what privilege itself entails. He only hated his family, and therefore, anything his family thought was good, he thought was bad, but not from a studied, logical, or well-thought-out perspective. Not from a position where he wanted to give up everything that made his life easier, but purely out of hate, resentment, and family trauma.

And that makes him very interesting because he constantly defends certain moral issues and fights for them without truly understanding them. And not understanding them leads to him constantly displaying very questionable and hypocritical behaviors. He supposedly believes in equality, yet the first person he suspects of being a spy for Voldemort is his werewolf friend because he’s a werewolf. He supposedly defends the weak, yet he spent years enjoying himself while bullying a poor, resource-less kid who clearly couldn’t compete with the status or surname of the Blacks. He supposedly should treat those below him well, yet he treats his house-elf like garbage.

Sirius Black is contradictory and is a great example of the typical rich kid from radicalized, highly sectarian families who opposes those families, leaves them, but never abandons their privileged environments nor gives up their money or resources. As a result, his social awareness is very performative because he hasn’t engaged in self-criticism. And that’s what gives the character realism and interest. If you take that away from him, he becomes incredibly boring. So please stop saying he wasn’t a privileged elitist, because he was, and he also had violent and sadistic tendencies.

Remus : *questioning life choices*

Peter : *enjoying it*

[shadowjinx2906]

And if I said Peter Pettigrew?

[study-of-the-moon]

James and Sirius are the best friends who are so incredibly emotionally co-dependent on each other that you wonder how they function without each other, but then you see them together and realise that the only reason they're sane seperately is because its when they're TOGETHER that they go absolutely, undeniably feral :)
