[lovesickmarauders]

the marauders but theyre actually teenage losers

- loudest in the room at all times, to the disdain of everyone else

- interrupted every class, even important ones, ravenclaws hated them

- did NOT wear the uniform, you were lucky if 1 out of the 4 of them wore a tie

- took up the whole corridor because they all walked beside eachother

- James/Sirius would toss paper planes

- Didn't smoke/drink/etc until they were 15/16, they were late

- Remus started at 14/15, he hid it from the rest of the group

- Would fail to start a food fight ATLEAST once per year. No one engaged and everyone was sick of them

- Would get caught during certain pranks and just do that awkward looking at eachother until the teacher either a, gave up or b, gave them all a detention

- were not subtle

- sirius alone would jingle/thump with every step due to his chains, pins, and boots

- James didn't know how to speak quietly, and you would hear him three corridors away at minimum

- Peter has an obnoxiously loud laugh, if he tries to hide it he snorts, which sets him off again

- Remus swears. So loudly at everyone, and you can hear it from across the school at that point

shared kisses, stolen cigarettes - peter pettigrew

summary: you and peter share a cigarette by the open window in the common room. wc: 0.9k+

You hummed along to an unknown tune as you perched yourself on the small window nook in the corner of the common room. The cool afternoon’s breeze blew through your hair from the open window, causing your eyes to flutter shut softly as you blew smoke from between your lips. You brought the cigarette to back to your lips and inhaled deeply, leaning against the cool window next to you.

You jumped up slightly when a gentle hand was placed on your shoulder, coughing out white smoke which dispersed into the air around you.

“Oh, sorry sweetheart. Didn’t mean to scare you.” You twisted your torso to look at the man who had spoken, smiling widely when your eyes landed on Peter. “Hey, you.” You patted the empty spot in front of you, inviting your boyfriend to sit with you.

He grinned, sitting down facing you, one leg folded so he could fit in the tight space. You offered Pete your cigarette, and he gratefully took it, running a hand through his soft blond hair. You shuffled on the spot, moving to sit back on your legs, crawling forward uncomfortably to sit right in front of your boyfriend. You leaned forward, placing both your hands on his thighs.

“Can I sit?” You asked, heart thumping loudly in your chest at your own question, an unreasonable fear of rejection blossoming through your veins.

Your boyfriend extended an arm out, and you took it as an invitation to come forward, smiling widely. You shifted your weight onto one of your knees, lifting the other one up so Peter had space to extend both his long legs on the makeshift bench in front of him. You swung your leg over his thighs, and Peter handed you the cigarette so he could put both his hands on your waist, dragging you forward so you could sit on his lap.

You cupped Peter’s cheek with your free hand, leaning forward to press your lips against his. “Hi.” Peter mumbled when your lips separated, a light blush painting his cheek. “Hi.” You echoed, smiling shyly for whatever reason. It wasn’t as though you and Peter had only been dating for a short while, but something about him made you feel giddy no matter where you were. You just liked him so much.

“I missed you.” Peter whispered, and you gave him the cigarette, snaking your arms around his neck, hugging him loosely as you rested your head on his shoulder. “Missed you too. Were you with the boys?” You felt Peter nod as he took a long drag from the cigarette. His arm rested on your lower back, hugging you loosely. He blew the smoke out of the corner of his mouth, into the common so he wouldn’t hit you in the face with the stench of tobacco.

“Just got back from the hufflepuff common room. Remus was selling to a couple of 4th years.”

“Fourth years? Oh, shame on you lot.”

“Shame on us?” Peter asked with an amused smile, offering you the cigarette, which you happily took from him. He watched as you inhaled deeply, raising his eyebrows in question as his fingertips travelled underneath your shirt, resting on your bare skin.

“How old were you when you started smoking?” You immediately felt your cheeks heat up at the exposing question, stumping the cigarette’s flame out on the window’s cold glass before tossing it into the trash can nearby. “That’s not - shut up.” Peter grinned cheekily, gently placing a hand on your cheek and pulling your face closer to his. His lips grazed yours, but he didn’t kiss you just yet, instead looking at you lovingly as he whispered to you

“Well I think you look sexy when you smoke. I definitely don’t think the same of the fourth years.”

“Well, you better not think the same about any other woman, you hear that Pettigrew?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

And with that, he connected your lips, tongue swiping down on your lower lip. Your lips parted to welcome Peter’s tongue in your mouth, letting it glide against yours softly. You moaned quietly, moving your hands to rest on his chest as you pushed him away from you.

Peter’s lips separated from your with a pop, and you grinned, sitting back on his thighs as one of Peter’s hands caressed your thigh softly, just under the hem of your skirt. You inhaled sharply, opening your mouth when you were suddenly interrupted by a mystery voice.

“Hey Pete, you forgot this with me.” Remus tossed your boyfriend a pack of cigarettes, but Peter only shook his head as he caught the little rectangular packet. “I won’t be needing this, apparently y/n’s quitting smoking.”

“I am not!”

“Tell him what you said about the fourth years.”

“I said nothing!”

Peter laughed teasingly, pulling you closer to peck your lips softly. “Sure you didn’t.” “Stop talking.” You demanded weakly, digging your head into the crook of Peter’s neck, hiding away from his terrifying friend.

“You’re disgustingly adorable, the two of you.” Remus said at the same time Peter told him “I think she’s a little scared of you."

Remus chuckled, putting both hands in his pockets. “Hey, y/n, I can’t wait to hear about the fourth years when we’re preparing drinks for tomorrow’s party, okay?” You groaned, hugging Peter closer to you.

“Pete,” You started when Remus was finally gone. “I regret offering to bartend with Remus. He scares me.”

Peter was that one Uno-obsessed friend, forcing everyone to play Uno.

A thought on Peter...

We know James and Lily died in October 1981. We also know Peter was passing information over for more than a year before that.

What happened in 1980 that made Peter feel disenfranchised from his friends enough to turn his back?

Well... I've had a thought about that.

Harry was born in 1980.

What if the reason Peter felt more disconnected from the friends who were already far superior to him academically (and even in animagus size tbh) was because they had something new and all-consuming to focus on?

James had Lily, he now had Harry, Sirius was Godfather...

Remus could cope with not being the centre of attention because he had friends, and because as a werewolf he was grateful for anything (except in HBP when he finally pushes against relationships but anyway), but Peter... didn't have that. He wasn't down on himself enough to think 'this is all I'm going to get, so it's fine' (or 'I love these people and seeing them happy makes me happy').

He didn't know why he wasn't quite there with them, but...

Take a look at reddit child free threads, or similar spaces online, and see how long it takes you to find a post about someone saying they've lost their friend to the friend's new child (or something to that effect). It happens. Combine that with what Peter does say - their side was losing people, they were losing generally - perhaps he felt he had already lost James by that point. Sirius, too. He couldn't 'lose' Remus because Remus wasn't that kind of person (until y'know 1993 but my boy is not a doormat - he has limits!) but then... he only hurt Remus by hurting the others, he didn't physically hurt Remus.

So, what if that was the turning point?

(I just checked PoA to see... and pointing out that Harry looked like James was almost the last thing he did in that room. Everyone else starts a conversation by pointing it out, but Peter didn't bother. Is that indicative of disregard, or just a by-product of watching the boy grow up for three years?)

[tiredfinch]

hate the peter self isolates/is excluded trope sm.

peter is funny, and brave (he has to be to do what he did), and intelligent and gifted- but he's insecure and he's jealous and he is self preservationist. the thing that makes him stick out amongst the marauders is not how he acts or his insecurities or how he gets inside his head, it's how he copes. James, Remus, Sirius and Lily (included here bc she's important) are self sacrificing, Peter will always preserve himself rather than die. "what would you have done?" he cannot fathom dying for anything or anybody, because to live, to him, gives him the reassurance that he is what his friends are. there's no self isolation, but desperate clinging and deep seeded selfishness.

peter hate pmo so much. he's fascinating. HES MORE FASCINATING THAN HALF THE FUCKING CHARACTERS IN THIS FANDOM. I love peter.

[oh-phoenixx]

hc that peter has the same birthday as james and ever since they were little (you will never pry childhood friends james and peter out of my grasp), james was the centre of attention. they would have joint birthday parties and everyone would sing happy birthday to james, would bring gifts for james, and wouldn't even realise that it was peter's birthday too.

this only got worse at hogwarts. james threw them both a party and sort of assumed that everyone knew it was peter's birthday too. only their close friends bought him any gifts, while seemingly everyone in gryffindor had gotten things for james. the cake that someone decorated for them only had james's name on it.

[lovesickf-fics]

Yuletide/Christmas at Hogwarts (pt1(maybe))

Characters Mentioned : James, Sirius, Remus, Peter

Tw : n/a

James Potter

Isn't actually big on yule but enjoys getting everyone presents and giving good blessings

Goes all out for other people as much as he can

Effie sends him a pouch of homemade tablet and different treats for each person he mentions in his letters

Big hot chocolate lover, extra cream and marshmallows

If that isnt there he will have a cup of fruity tea

Will still wear thin trainers and complain when his feet get wet

Lives in his gryffindor scarf or one Effie has made him in the past if that one got dirty during quidditch

Has anti-steam charms on his glasses for after outdoor classes or pranks so he can see

Sirius Black

Didn't like the holidays until hogwarts and now tries every tradition he can find

Loves getting personalised gifts for everyone, out of them all he definitely puts in the most thought

Wears his house scarf but still wears his shirt open and skinny jeans, warming charms are his personal saviour

fluffy socks under his docs

He tries to be cool and drink coffee but he takes it with as much sugar and milk the cup can take

Loves to pull temperature pranks and take advantage of the mistletoe

Remus Lupin

Doesnt mind the holiday times but misses his small family traditions moreso than the hogwarts celebrations

he tends to lean towards homemade gifts/prank supplies as its all he can afford compared to his friends

Drinks black tea and coffee but still appreciates a cup of hot chocolate if its closer to the moon

Layers layers layers, he needs to stay warm of he feels all stiff and gets phantom pains in his scars and joints

Spends most of his time in the library surrounded by heating charms but still helps the others sneak out for pranks and works out the logistics despite complaining that he wants his blankets

Peter Pettigrew

Biggest holiday lover you'll meet, Sirius learned alot of the traditions from him

Gets more traditional gifts but does enjoy getting the other marauders something more personal

He decorates the dorm and with the help of Sirius they get some mini candles floating around too

He wears big jumpers, scarves, gloves amd a hat all winter

He even rocks a pair of boots similar to sirius' if its snowed

Will also steal sirius' fluffy socks

During winter he spends time with remus in the library, he's usually the first to get all his homework done during the holidays so he can enjoy them fully

Peter ‘I wish I was more of a man’ Pettigrew 

[enbysiriusblack]

what happened to peter pettigrews lesbian mothers why does he have a father now

he always had a father???? he's just not in the picture cause he left lydia when she got pregnant & dropped out hogwarts. so peter was only raised by lydia (& then later cora, but she came in the picture when he was like mid teens so)

[myriadparacosm]

Probably unpopular but I believe Peter betrayed the Marauders because (not only) of Sirius

[lovesickmarauders]

Peter Pettigrew has bowel problems, ibs, lactose intolerance, anything gluten, his stomach sounds like a backed up engine and the toilets after him are a no-go

Sirius Black could eat anything but prefers traditional foods/homemade foods unless he's drunk. Then he'd devour any fast food on sight

James Potter loves curries. Masalas, Kormas, Bhunas, Jalfrezis, all of it - and hes a sucker for bread. Garlic bread, toast, anything.

Remus Lupin is a meat lover (no ones surprised), lamb, beef, ham, pork, steak anything and anything. He loves a full roast dinner

[thorn-rosed]

I adore Prongstail. It's one of my fav ships.

I HC Pete as trans, and one of my HC is that they played "family" (or is it called house in English?) when they were younger with Marlene.

Marlene Hated to be the mom but so She always played the child or the pet, but Pete hated to be the mom too, so it ended up that James was the mom and he played it as if he's Effie.

Naww, that one is so sweet, nonnie!

Prongstail isn't one if my primary shippings (probably will never be), yet I see it and can imagine it very well. A while back I saw a post about how Peter was jealous of Lily and grew hateful towards James because he rejected him and married Lily instead, so he became a death eater and the whole shitshow went down. This headcanon will always live in my head when i think of canon marauders.

I'm pretty sure its called family too, although I dont really know. I love the idea of the Marlene-James-Peter-trio as children, its genuinely the cutest thing ever! To be honest, Peter was always somehow trans in my head, so I get where you're coming from, haha. And James will always be the mum-friend, caring for the others like his mother thaught him.

[ghostscarface]

Don't replace Peter with anyone. BETRAYAL ONLY HURTS IF HE WAS A GOOD FRIEND OKAY WE NEED SUFFERING AND ANGST 🔥🔥🔥

Make him the chaotic friend, that shows up whenever he wants and is in several friend groups within different houses. He was the one with the meanest prank ideas and convincing Sirius & James to do it. Peter always listened to James's sulking. He was the hype man no matter if one went to quidditch practice, scared of O.W.L.S or having a crush, he was the guy that built your confidence up and believed in you. Peter was the clumsiest one but under pressure he was the one that could lie his way out of detention and sometimes the whole group.Get Remus and Peter have deep talks about politics and the ongoing war, trying to form a strategy on how to survive this mess together. In 2nd year it was Peter that gifted Remus's favourite chocolate brand. Peter fed the feud between Marauders and Slytherin's (esp Severus) by feeding them "rumours" only he heard. Peter was the one always going over the top with the house hatred/pride ,being the first one painting his face in red and gold for quidditch but always shouting insults but hiding behind James if a fight started. Peter wasn't academically good like his friends but he got pity points even by McGonagall .He was the glue of the group, because he was able to match anyone's energy. Peter was the one with the juiciest Gossip in the gryffindor common room , comes with it when you're in different social circles. Peter taught Sirius how to play muggle guitar and hid his stuff in his house during the summer.

You think they would trust a friend, during war, while being hunted by a certain group ,with their location and their infant son, if there was ever a sign that he was not to be trusted.

-yes, Peter's Pettigrew Lawyer influenced me

[loonyloopylupin96]

If this is true...

then this whole 'remus is the biggest' thing might need a review...

what if the reason he's called Wormtail isn't the one we thought

anyway, here's the context

[georgie-weasley]

Hyperfixations I had that I think the marauders would have:

Remus would love book binding. he could make journals or novels or poetry and then compile all those together into a book with a cover he designed. he even totally debated taking all his school notes and trying to make them into a book with a really intricate cover that he spent days making. Remus would have these plans to even get into making his own paper for his books as well but he only ever got as far as trying to stitch the pages together and because he wasn’t an expert at it right away, he got frustrated and gave up

James was a hard one honestly. after much debating I think it’s learning to play an instrument. he’d try a few that he’s interested in like the piano or guitar but he’d settle on the bass. he’d spend so much money getting everything he needs and James would think he’d look so cool with his electric bass and it sounds awesome so he’d love it but it wouldn’t take long for him to realize he doesn’t have a musical bone in his body. now it just sits in his room or his dorm and he only mentions it to impress people until they ask him to play something and he comes up with an excuse not to

I firmly believe that Sirius would be obsessed with the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. he would love the idea of pirates because they can just go off and do whatever they want with no one to stop them and no obligations. he would love how they’re obsessed with treasure and their ships and though he loves the romance between Will and Elizabeth you wouldn’t ever get him to admit it. he also just loves it because Captain Jack Sparrow is dramatic and really hot his role model

At first I was going to say Peter would enjoy true crime but that just felt mean but I actually think it would be dungeons and dragons. we know Peter was kinda the black sheep out of the marauders and despite being their friend he wasn’t on the same level as the other three (sorry dude) so I think the idea of playing a game where he could be anyone, sign him up. his favorite class would be a fighter or barbarian because they’re pretty different than who he is. this game is his chance to be strong and run headfirst into danger and lead a group when usually he’s just a follower
