when: 15 January, 1979, mid-afternoon where: Gryffindor Common Room who: Marlene McKinnon & Sirius Black

It wasn’t exactly easy to bribe her way into the Gryffindor common room, but it was at the very least easier than answering a complicated riddle across the castle. Marlene picked a spot by the fireplace, astounded by how comfortable and warm Gryffindor Tower was even when she wasn’t drunk. It definitely wasn’t Hufflepuff, but it wasn’t so bad, either. Smiling to herself, Marlene kicked her boots up on the table and pulled out her copy of The Hobbit. If Sirius Black was going to keep her waiting (unbeknownst to him), she figured she might as well get some homework done in the process.

Name one person they would kill for.

If there’s one person James would always defend even to more extreme lengths, it’s Sirius. He’s the person who knows James in and out, knows everything he is, and all the demons that haunt him. He really can’t think of a world where Sirius isn’t part of it.

when: 16 January, 1979, Dueling Club where: Great Hall, Hogwarts who: Fabian Prewett & Sirius Black @messrsblacks​

“---the hell?”

Normally, Fabian would have been mortified to have let such language slip in front of a professional in the field he would potentially have a career in. This particular week, though, Fabian, had put up with more than enough straws to break his weary back. Of all the tedious requests G.G. Dibbendiner had made, of all the ways in which he had cramped Fabian and Alice’s style, reworking the structure of Dueling Club was, in Fabian’s opinion, by far the very worst. Since the incident in December, as Fabian had been gently calling it in his mind for his own sanity’s sake, interest in Dueling Club had doubled. It wasn’t a surprise, and Fabian was glad that at least one good thing had come from the tragedy---the ability for him to help prevent it from happening again.

But G.G. Dibbendiner’s Dueling Club was not the impression Fabian wanted to leave on his new members.

“The hell does he want us to do with this?” Fabian squawked, turning to the nearest student to voice his complaints. “Scald You-Know-Who to death with hot water?”

when: august 28th, 1980 where: the black lion who: @messrsblacks​

With summer coming to an end, Zoe couldn’t help but think back on it all with a kind of fondness that could never be erased. From early morning inventory, to late night’s spent in the flat above, everything had been chaotic, and frantic and perfect. 

“It doesn’t look like I just woke up and then walked straight down here, does it?” Zoe asked, her hair obviously disheveled. She was still under some grand delusion that not a single person at the pub knew that she and Sirius were dating.

when: november 5th, 1980 / after curfew where: shrieking shack who: da boiz / @pterpettigrew​ / @messrsblacks​ / @jamespooper​

The storm overhead was still rolling. Bursts of thunder breaking any silence that could have lingered inside of the Shrieking Shack. While the old worn down building had so often been more like a prison cell than a home, Remus was looking through it all with a different lens now. His friends, no his family, sat around, their expressions mingled with delight, and fear, and the excitement of finally accomplishing what they had first set out to do so many months ago.

Or maybe Remus was just thinking about what his own face might show. The utter relief at the idea of not being alone every full moon, and the extreme terror that this might not work. That all of this build-up had been for nothing more than a shotty tranfiguration attempt that could leave someone with a mutation that they likely wouldn’t appreciate.

As a result, he was tense in anticipation, looking around the room as though attempting to share with them all just how glad he was for their company. For turning the Shrieking Shack into a place of the future, instead of the marred wooden floors that they were currently sat on.

“This is everyone’s last chance to put their bets in for what they might turn into,” Remus said, trying to shake off the fear in his own throat.

When: 1st September 1980 Where: Number 2 Low Street Who: @pterpettigrew​ @messrsblacks​ @bulgaelupin​

James stood back, arms crossed his chest, admiring his handiwork. His degree, it seemed, was coming in handy for more than just his internship. “Do you reckon two’s high enough?”

[marymacdonaldhadafarm]

WHEN: 14 May 1980 WHERE: The Winking Wizard WHO: @messrsblacks​ 

Mary’s hands situated themselves firmly on her hips. Huffing, she blew the stray blonde hairs out of her face in frustration. Of course, she knew she looked ridiculous standing in the alleyway behind the club wearing the clothes she’d preformed in, but she was too distracted by the state of her car to care. “It just doesn’t make sense,” she complained at Sirius, tilting her head to check once more that everything under the hood looked as it should. “It’s all fine!” Except it wasn’t, or it would have started when she’d turned the key in the ignition thirty minutes ago at the end of her shift.

[reguwusblack]

when: may 14th, 1980 where: hogsmeade who: @messrsblacks​

Regulus hated these meetings. The ones that came without warning and left his body feeling tight and uncomfortable. He knew was it was to feel out of control, and now, standing face to face with his brother, his knees felt like they might go at any minute. There was no pretending like he didn’t still love Sirius. That not loving his brother wasn’t even an option he considered. But he did undergo a sense of betrayal. Sirius had left. He had left him.

“Zonko’s?” He asked, gesturing to the store to the right of them. There was no fight in him, there never had been.

[cissanoir]

WHEN: 20 September 1980 WHERE: Some Shop Somewhere WHO: @messrsblacks​

In all the world Narcissa could think of nothing worse than being impolite. It was for this reason, and an intentionally ignorant perception of all that had happened to drive Sirius to leave the family, that she simply could not just turn on her heel and ignore the cousin (sorry, ex-cousin) after they had accidentally made eye contact across the shop. “You look well, Sirius,” she offered through the part of her self-conscious smile. Narcissa shifted her shopping basket from one hand to the other, unsure otherwise of what to do with herself.

OWL— SIRIUS BLACK:

23 May, 1979

Sirius,

I hope you’re doing well. I’m not in Hogsmeade, which you might not have realised. It feels silly being so secretive — but don’t tell anyone I’m writing to you, would you? Things got a bit out of hand, and I needed to leave. If you do want to reach me, you can write to Penelope Beauregard at Le Cheval Ailé. (That’s not the name I’m going by or where I am, so don’t worry about anyone finding it.) 

Anyway, I watched a truly bizarre Muggle film yesterday and I think it might be based on something you’ve read? I’m attaching the poster. It was fun, though the dubbing made it all the more ridiculous. Take care. Is Narcissa all right

Yours, Andromeda
