#remus lupin sass

[marauderstars]

Remus: I love making short jokes about Sirius.

Remus: They go right over his head.

[eatanorange]

Marlene and James pissed off/distracted Dorcas and Lily respectively and in an act of true solidarity, Remus Lupin plays Hall & Oates ‘She’s Gone’ as they exit

He doesn’t even look up from whatever studying he’s doing when he does it.

ON TODAY’S EPISODE OF…

HP/Marauders fanfic tropes I love:

- teenage sex god Remus Lupin

Whether the man is completely oblivious to his sex-symbol status or in full control of it, I love every version of Remus “literally everybody’s gay awakening/first crush” Lupin. The hair, the scars, the jewelry, the 80s rock/punk/metal tees, towering over everyone in the great hall and maybe even flirting up a storm with ALL the guys, gals and non-binary pals! You know he just showed up to school fifth year looking like the puberty gods decided to make up for the whole furry-little-problem by blessing the heck outta this hot mess prefect. Good Lord, praise Merlin! 🥵😆

HP/Marauders fanfic tropes I hate:

- the infantilization of Harry when his abuse comes to light

Some adult or friend in his life realizes what’s going on at privet drive and suddenly everyone treats Harry like a fragile toddler, which is somewhat normal, sure. But then I hate when Harry basically BECOMES a fragile toddler. I’m 100% all for crying it out and expressing the ways his abuse/neglect affected him, but if he’s a 13 year old boy, he isn’t going to just let everyone immediately treat him like a precious child who needs to be held and shielded and protected from every little thing. This is the boy who wanted to rage-hunt a supposed mass murderer when he found out he was his godfather. The boy who went crazy the year Dumbledore stopped talking to him and refused to clue him in on the happenings with Voldyshorts. Raging teenage hormones combined with the misplaced-shame a lot of kids with his kind of home-life have is a recipe for some great, albeit frustrating characterization. Plus, Harry is the reigning sass-master SUPREME, so constantly being reduced to 13 going on 3? Nah bro.

Hold up. Wait a minute. Can we just talk about the fact how The King by Conan Gray (the love of my life) is sooo WolfStar and Remus coded?

Professor Remus Lupin but he is just Sue Sylvester coded.

Remus Lupin has sass the size of James Potters ego

[regulus-lantsov]

Marauders characters as actual F1 drivers because my two obsessions need to be together + McGonagall and a bit of a cheat for Mary.

1 : Daniel Ricciardo and James Potter. Do I need to explain ? Daniel is a variant of James and I’ll die on top of that hill

2 : Regulus Black and Pierre Gasly. I don’t know. I have this vibe. The ‘I can be a badass with a french accent but at the same time I care for my friends’ vibe. ( Plus my two favorites together )

3 : Remus Lupin and Oscar Piastri. The calm vibe who dates the energetic one. You know you know they just fit so well ( I, now, decide that Oscar is my Remus Lupin fancast. ) 

4 : Sirius Black and Lando Norris. Do I need to explain ?? My two baby girls who are sassy asf.

5 : Peter Pettigrew and Kevin Magnussen. Don’t ask because I don’t know either. I just felt the vibe. 

6 Dorcas Meadowes and Lewis Hamilton. The sass, the clothes, the fashion style, the sarcasm ?? They are variants of each other.

7 : Evan Rosier and Max Verstappen. The care for others and who’s ready to destroy everyone's vibe that match so well.

8 : Barty Crouch Jr and George Russell. They’re both icons who doesn’t give a fuck about the others’s thoughts on them and I live for that.

9 : Lily Evans and Charles Leclerc. Yeah. Them. Why ? Because they have the hard work, loyalty but at the same time : I could enter my villain era if you bother me too much.

10 : Pandora Rosier and Alexander Albon. They’re the same in another universe. Always putting the other before themselves…

11 : Marlène McKinnon and Fernando Alonso. The ‘I don’t give a fuck’ vibe. The jokes about James’ mother that Fernando would make.

12 : Mary McDonald and Nico Rosberg. I had to ! If Lewis was here I needed to add his ‘non-boyfriend’ who matches Mary’s vibe so well.

+13 : Finally ! Finally ! Their saviors ! Minerva McGonagall and obviously Sebastian Vettel ! Do I need to explain ?? Father and mother figures of their franchises.

𝕳𝖆𝖕𝖕𝖞 𝕳𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖔𝖜𝖊𝖊𝖐!

This is a week long celebration from 26th October - 31st October and will be a little different than any of my other ones.

This will be a first come first serve type of ordeal: there will be a list of prompts numbered 1–20 and you’ll send a number and a character name and that will be who I write it for. (After getting all 20 requests, I’ll update the list to show the characters for each prompt!)

Characters involved: James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Spencer Reid, Aaron Hotchner, Miguel o'Hara, Tasm!Peter Parker, Steve Harrington, Eddie Munson, Bob Floyd, Jake Seresin, Bradley Bradshaw.

Prompts taken from here, here and here.

This celebration is now CLOSED

“Come on, it’s just a haunted house! It’ll be like a walk in the park.” / “More like a walk through hell.”

“Should I be worried that you know how to replicate fake blood this well? I probably should be, right?” James Potter

Recording and fondly laughing at the other as they trigger all the Halloween displays in the stores

“Your scream is kind of cute I’m sorry”. Peter Parker

Handing out candy for the little ones together on Halloween night. Miguel o’Hara

“There’s literally one candle flickering mysteriously. In what universe would I go over there?” / “Is that…a no, then?”

“What do you mean you’ve never gone trick-or-treating?” Sirius Black

One not being to focused on carving their own pumpkin because they’re too worried about the other getting hurt while carving theirs. Spencer Reid

“Stop squirming, you’re gonna mess up your face paint!” Spencer Reid

Bringing home an antique from the metaphysical store and letting a very old vampire out of its trap.

“Why don’t you take off that mask? I’d like to see your face.” Bradley Bradshaw

“Oh a theatre loving vampire, how original!” / “Is that sarcasm or sass, mortal?” Sirius Black

You stumble across silver chains in the woods behind your house the night after the full moon with a trail of blood leading to the bushes, you never expected them to be there.

IDEK what to say about this

After a few shots of vodka, my roommates and I came up with a chaotic fancast for the marauders. I have notes but there's literally no context besides random shit written down and I figure it would be criminal to not share this absolute trainwreck with everyone so here it is... Chaotic Marauder Fancast brought to you by drunken thoughts.

Marauders

Tom Hiddleston as Sirius Black

Tom Hiddleston would be a good option to play Sirius Black. He has the capability of having a boyish attitude and sass that Sirius has become known for. Also, Adam. Nuff said.

Rami Malek as James Potter

Look at him. He also has the capability of coming up with that sass and attitude. Imagine him riding a broomstick in a quidditch uniform and that is all.

Robert Sheehan as Remus Lupin

This man could play all of the characters, but he is best suited for Remus Lupin. Unkempt look but in an attractive way. Looks like he could be a werewolf. A lot of the same Remus Lupin mannerisms.

Andrew Scott as Peter Pettigrew

A short little Irish man with a very good skill for acting a villain that's cunning and sneaky and that's why he would be a good option. He would be a very good actor to portray the change from friend to enemy.

Slytherin Skittles

Aidan Gallagher as Regulus Black

Aidan Gallagher has the capability to play an angsty character who's a little bit evil and a little bit good all rolled into one. He's also just got the look and the vibe that Regulus is kind of become known for.

David Tennant as Barty Crouch Jr.

This is partially because when he played Barty in the 4th movie, he didn't get nearly enough screen time in my opinion but the other part of it is because, after watching lots of his filmography, I seriously can't think of anyone better to play it. Unfortunately we would need to make him like 30 years younger and we don't have a time machine.

Michael Sheen as Evan Rosier

I told you it would be chaotic. Maybe it's because I can't see David Tennant without Michael Sheen anymore after GO and Staged but he's also quite similar to Evan in my mind and I think he would play the character very well. Unfortunately... still no time machine tho.

Lisa Kudrow as Pandora Rosier

I mean I was watching Friends and she kinda just stuck out to me and that is why she is now Pandora. I think Lisa has the capability to play someone as wonderful, beautiful and quirky as Pandora. Also I think it would be so sweet and interesting to watch Michael and Lisa play siblings.

Valkyries

(I will admit and say that I don't know nearly enough about the Valkyries so my roommates were the ones that came up these)

Florence Pugh as Marlene McKinnon

I don't really think this one needs explaining but I do think she would be best to play Marlene McKinnon. She's got a fabulous look that would suit Marlene well especially with the fanart seen of her. I mean just look at her.

Nina Sosanya as Dorcas Meadowes

Nina's got the spunk and the attitude that Dorcas has. Mainly pulling from her performance in both GO1 and GO2, I think she is just the most fitting to play Dorcas and would act very well alongside David and Michael (as we've seen) but I think would act very well alongside Florence and Robert.

Emmy Raver-Lampman as Mary MacDonald

Has the capability to play a sweet character but could turn deadly and horrible in 0.5 seconds and that's stunning for her and would work very well for Mary. Also the depths from her pain and everything of her friends dying and then eventually obliviating her memory.

Scarlett Johansson as Lily Evans

Scarlett has the attitude of Lily Evans in real life and honestly she would be stunning. I could totally see James falling in love with Lily if she looked like Scarlett which is one of the main reasons we've cast her as Lily.

Now, we all think that the original fancast that is the most popular is perfect and stunning. This is just some brainrot. Anyway, that is all.

dear john; remus lupin

summary: "but i took your matches, before fire could catch me," in which she shows him that his differences from the typical side of society is not something to fear.

words: 700+

speak now tracklist. request.

"it's not that simple! you don't understand!" the boy aggressively shouted as he began to pace around the dormitory, "that's why i know we'll never truly work. it's better, for both of us, if you just moved on!"

"so help me to understand," she replied calmly, crossing her arms over her chest as her face softened slightly.

"it's complicated, it-"

"it's only complicated if you don't explain it to me, i want to help you, remus," her voice very quickly became stern which stopped the boy in his tracks, causing him to turn to face her. he looked at a loss for words, stunned at her bluntness as he searched for the explanatory words.

"things are different for me! i can't just be all reckless and spontaneous all the time," his voice was now exasperated, resuming his pacing as he gestured with his hands expressively.

"says the man who frequently plans reckless and spontaneous pranks throughout the school with his friends," y/n sassed, a slight smile hiding on her face.

"yes, but that's entirely more complicated, this is my whole point!" remus begged, stopping again as he became more solemn, "i have to plan my participation, and the boys have to plan my participation, based on what the moon phase is," he stressed, voice rasping and emphasising his distain.

the boy didn't stop there, he continued to ramble at his girlfriend about how his life was affected by his condition and the long lasting effects in the days after a full moon.

that moment was when she realised. he centred his life around it. he thought he was a werewolf, all of the time, and that's what everybody saw him as. even his friends. even her.

"wait, wait, wait," she suddenly spoke, as the boy stopped mid sentence, "i think i understand now," a brief smile of comfort braced her features.

"remus, you're not the wolf. not right now, not unless it's a full moon," her voice was definitive and sure.

"but i, i am! greyback-" remus became hesitant, he was unsure of what he was saying, "it lives inside of me, it's one of the only constants i have," he confessed vulnerably. her eyes were sincere as she processed his words, thinking of an appropriate reply.

"it's why we won't work, not in the end," he reiterated, "i don't want you to get hurt, everyone i care about inevitably gets hurt because of me. i don't want that for you," he finished in barely a whisper.

"what about james? or sirius? or peter? you haven't ever hurt them before," she questioned assuredly, almost certain that this would stump him. it didn't. she knew it when his face dropped.

"not physically, but emotionally. for years. before they found out. it was turmoil up until they knew," he confirmed, avoiding her gaze all of a sudden.

"and now? everything's surely got to be much better," y/n guessed, her voice dropping and octave with her uncertainty.

"i guess, but that doesn't change who i am," the boy refuted confidently.

"who are you, then?"

"i'm destined to bring horror and melancholy everywhere i go, and destroy everything i love in my wake, all because of the fact i transform into this beast every full moon. and i fail to remember who i've hurt when i do, or what i do," remus raised his voice slightly, trying desperately for it not to break.

"no you're not," the girl affirmed, looking at him as she took several paces forward.

"then, what am i?"

"you're smart, and witty, and brave, and funny, and kind, and loyal, and caring," she reached out to the boy, grasping his shoulders as she spoke, as if it would further infuse her point within the boy.

"and a monster," he added in the same tone y/n was using, hoping to convince her.

"no, you're not. you're not who you turn into," she ran her hand through the ends of his hair whilst she spoke, "you're the furthest thing from it. outside of the night of a full moon, you wouldn't even dare hurt a fly," confidence ran through her words.

"you're not a monster, remus lupin, you're a softie," she smiled up at him cheekily.

[soup-of-the-daisies]

so here’s part 2 of my james potter hcs bc this shitbag lives in my head rent free :))

(part 1 for those interested)

his prescription isn’t really heavy and he can technically get around without his glasses, but he gets really bad headaches if he doesn’t wear them

tried muggle contacts for a bit but got an eye infection after a month, went back to glasses permanently

can get really, really mean in the blink of an eye if he sees or hears something he doesn’t appreciate—something as innocent as feeling jealous or something as bad as blatant bigotry, doesn’t really matter. fandom may say that he was sirius’ moral compass but ohhh boy

“imagine sirius black having to reel you in” - overheard in the hospital wing by a random hufflepuff after a group of wannabe death eaters got hexed so badly for terrorising some muggleborn students they had to stay there for two days

can argue himself out of any sticky situation by being passionate and arrogant (like only getting a month’s worth of detention for hexing said group of wannabe death eaters into a two-day stay at the hospital wing)

did not relentlessly pursue lily, actually. he didn’t ask her out until their fifth year and stopped entirely after the slur-incident

did form a relentless (at times one-sided) rivalry that often went way too far with severus snape though, i’ll give you that

he’s got hazel eyes with a bit of green thank you

his nose isn’t longer than harry’s (he’s got a ‘hidung pesek’, like my mum would say). his nosebridge can’t hold up european glasses and it’s a struggle

sirius looks physically like his father which means james does, shamefully, find orion black handsome in a purely aesthetic way. he’ll take this tidbit to the grave with him though as sirius would have an aneurysm if he found out that james thinks orion is a bit of a dilf

james has tackled peter multiple times. most notably, that one time it was over the last digestive in the biscuit tin that hope lupin sent remus

peter broke his nose and james cried because he felt so bad

he’s got a dab hand at healing spells and sirius is good at cleaning spells so it was fine in the end

also ugly crier james 2k23. that man can WEEP

gives the BEST hugs. you’ll feel so safe. he just presses your face against his chest and you’ve got to take it, because it’ll relax your entire body

“it’s like i’ve been reborn” - peter pettigrew after The James Hug following the orange marmalade incident of 1975

will never talk about the orange marmalade incident of 1975 because peter asked him nicely

great secret keeper!! should’ve been his own secret keeper, actually!!

big beatles fan and really cringy about it: he even considers getting a mop top for a bit.

thinks george harrison looks like sirius (but not as handsome) and therefore george is his favourite

same james

ALSO he would be so flattered that some parts of this fandom see him as ATJ’s john lennon i swear lmao

would kill for sirius and has considered killing for sirius on multiple occasions

harry’s ‘trouble usually finds me’ gene comes from him and he has been face to face with acromantulas on multiple occasions purely by accident

harry’s ‘there’s no need to call me sir, professor’ gene is a mix of lily’s sass and james’ smart-assery. part of the reason jily started dating is bc they could match each other’s quips so well

good at practical magic with several seemingly random interests in the theoretical background of certain types of magic. will go off on a tangent on the Braach’s Sixteen Laws of Weight when someone offhandedly mentions a featherlight charm

created the runic sequences of the Map that ground the spellwork woven into the object to ambient magic all by himself and was SO proud of himself that severus was valid in saying james strutted around like he owned the place

human embodiment of the following emoticon= >:3

[saturnsconstellation]

The life as Wolfstar’s kid would include:

Sirius giving you star/moon hair clips

Remus making you hot chocolates

Sirius playing fetch w/you as Padfoot when you’re bored or upset.

BOOKS. SO MANY BOOKS.

Hearing bedtime stories from when they were at Hogwarts

Getting to go to Hogwarts once a year with Remus until you’re old enough to actually frequent the school

Staying at Uncle Prongs’ and Uncle Reggie’s place for a sleep over with Harry

Being the smartest kid EVERYWHERE

Have a deep connection with space for some reason, *cough* Regs fault *cough* what? Huh? Who said that?

Being a caffeine addicted at the age of fifteen

Born to be the artist, raised to be the muse (but in the best way possible)

Being adored and respected by your parents (they are the best I swear)

“That’s Professor Lupin’s kid”

Being the sassies child that has ever roamed the earth

Believing 100% in astrology because Sirius said so

Learning French before English and then Spanish (Harry’s influence)

Stealing the invisibility cloak with Harry and Luna and using it to sneak around and steal sweets

Reading books on magical creatures and becoming hyper-fixated on one of them (bonus points is it’s a werewolf) (no seriously they are actually so cool)

Having IMMACULATE style

A misunderstood genius (Regulus words)

Having Sirius looks, Remus’s brains, James’s personality and Regulus’s sass.

Being a David Bowie and Queen stan

Poet to your very core

Biggest ego in the planet (you have Sirius as a father and James and Marlene as your aunt/uncle. Everyone is doomed)

Sweetest soul, but god forbid anyone angers you

Arctic Monkeys coded

This is all I have (for now)

Calmwrimo: Day 10 - 3001

So, i was working one one fic (still porud whenever i manage that lol) where im rewrititng fixing the Shriecking Shack incident. And heres a snippet as im so poriud of my sassy Harry, book Harry is a little Sass Prince (I'd say King, but well Sirius "Drama King" Black is there so .....

“Professor, is anyone else coming? Ron's hurt!” Harry said. Going back to glaring at Black. If he hadn't he wouldn't have seen the confusion on Black's face.  When he spoke it was croaky, gravelly as though it hadn't been used for much other then screaming for a long time. Harry hid the wince that his face wanted to make. Dementors were nasty, and 12 years with them would probably make any one scream. “Professor? Why’s he calling you Professor Moons?” Black asked, quietly and confused. Harry watched as Lupin's face went through a whole plethora of emotions in a few seconds, ending up in annoyance at the man in front of him. “Don't call me that Sirius, I’m so fucking angry at you” Lupin barked at the man still on the ground. Harry, Ron and Hermione all let out sharp noises at their professor swearing, even if the situation did call for it. “Remus ..” Black said, ending in a coughing fit, he waved a hand as Lupin took a step forward. “Im… ok. He said breathlessly. “Why's he calling you professor and not Remus, or Uncle Moony or whatever?” Black continued with his questioning. Harry could only admire the look Lupin gave Black, as though he was a bloody idiot. “Think Sirius, use your brain if it hasn't turned to mush. Why on earth would they let me have him, you idiot.” he said scathingly, but the undercurrent of fondness was very clear in his tone. Harry just sighed, another Defence professor out to get him, bully for him. He wondered how long it would take Hermione and Ron to figure out they were screwed, with an injured Ron, no way to escape, a knowledgeable adult and a madman in the way of the door they had no means of escape. Harry squared his shoulder. If he was going to die he would do it taking at least Black with him. Hopefully his friends would escape from Lupin themselves.

Summer 1971 : St. Edmunds Institution for Girls

TW: None ! Not proofread, will probably start officially posting this fic on another website <3 we’re just meeting our main characters and stuff !! ENJOYYY!! (Also, my acc name is based off my character, this isn’t a self insert lmao)

Keori hated summers. Mainly because she was always so hot and humid and the other girls seemed to get more agitated and rude. Lucky for her, she found a tree in the courtyard far from the building and climbed it, watching the ground below as it went on without her. 

On the other side of the high, barbed fence was St. Edmunds Institution for Boys. Why they kept them separate was something she wished to know, but maybe after hearing all the older girls talk about boys, she had a faint idea why. She didn’t know what about boys were so appealing. She heard screams and whatnot from over there, and they all so…. rough.

She wished she had remembered to bring her books, though she rushed out before any other girls woke. Keori sighed, knowing that if she didn’t get back soon she’d face the anger of Ms. Ben. Stretching her legs, they felt weaker than normal. Maybe she could just sleep here. She’d miss breakfast, maybe lunch, but she didn’t get much sleep last night. Along with her sudden leg pain and weakness, her back has been hurting more than anything. Maybe that happens during puberty, though she doesn’t remember learning anything about it.

Sitting back down, she rested her back against the bark. It’d be hard to see here, eventually she’d either be labeled as missing or be found anyways.

“Psst, up there.”

She sat up quickly, not expecting to hear a voice. Especially when the voice sounded like a boy. She looked down to find a boy standing near the other side of the fence. His hair, although brown, was shaven down all the way. He looked lanky and didn’t look well fed. She blinked at him.

“What are you doing up there?” The boy questioned her, and for some reason she could tell he wanted to go up to the fence, to get closer, yet he didn’t. Maybe the fence was electric. 

“Why can’t I be up here?” She questioned back, her voice full of sass. She watched as he glared up at her. She had a smug look on her face.

“Won’t the adult who's watching you lot get mad?” He looked around the boy’s side, as if nervous.

“Ya… what about it?” She said rather defensively.

“You not scared?”

“Why would I be?”

“Get down.”

“No.”

The boy frowned at her. “Please? It’s awkward looking up a tree. The other boys’ll think I’ve gone mad.”

“Won’t they question you talking to a girl?” She then asked him.

“Would make me seem cool.” He grinned. “I don’t think they’ve talked to girls before.”

Keori shrugged, slowly climbing down the tree, being careful not to fall or get hurt. “There. Now go tell your lot that you’ve got a girlfriend.” She grinned back. Maybe this is why girls liked boys, sometimes they were funny.

“What’s your name? So I could tell ‘em.” He asked.

“Keori Hemlock.”

“Like the flower?” He tilted his head, making her nod. “Well I’m Remus Lupin.”

“Lupin? Sounds like Lupinus. There’s a flower like that.” She told him, grinning. “We’re both flowers. It’s like we were meant to be.”

Remus pretended to gag. “Ew, that’s sappy. I don’t actually want to date you.” Keori shrugged.

“KEORI DURIN HEMLOCK” An annoyingly shrill voice called out to her. She’s been caught. Doesn’t matter, though. At least, for once, she’s made a friend. Remus looked nervous for her.

“See ya, be safe.” He said quickly, waving, before turning and running off. She slowly waved back, even after he had turned his back.

Keori could count on Ms. Ben to ruin things for her. She turned around to see the woman. Her old face was full of anger, her hands fists at her sides. She wore this dull, pink dress with a fake pearl necklace. Keori wondered if she was ever actually happy with life. Then again, she has to watch a bunch of kids no one else wants.

Walking up to her, Ms. Ben pinched her ear. As much as she expected it, it still hurt, even more than it used to. “Why do you act the way you do? Why can’t you act like the other girls and be good?” Her voice was annoying. “Now come along, you have a visitor.”

Despite the fact that Keori would have said something back, something snarky that would just get her into more trouble, the part about the visitor made her shut up. “A Visitor? Someone came for me?” She asked for confirmation. Ms. Ben nodded.

“Yes. He came to talk about your new school arrangements.” She said, and she sounded slightly disgusted for some odd reason. Keori would think she’d be happy that she was finally leaving, but maybe she secretly liked Keori. 

Walking into the building, she noticed that the girls were either whispering about her or were just ignoring her.

“Duori got in trouble again.” She heard a girl tutting. Douri was a nickname she was given for some reason. She didn’t know why but it stuck with her, not that she minded.

She and Ms. Ben Finally got to her office and went in, where she saw a very odd looking man. It would be hard not to notice the man, as he looked very different from what he was used to seeing, the way he was so fancily dressed. Long velvet maroon robes are carefully decorated at the cuffs and lapels with golden thread, his tie a nice golden color. His hair was seemingly whiter than snow, with his beard going all the way past his chest. He had a kind smile on his lips as he looked at Keori, in her dirty, tattered grey jumper and her loose shorts that had to be held up with a belt since it was too big for her.

“Ah, hello Miss Hemlock.” He greeted her politely, his eyes seemingly sparkling behind his half-moon spectacles. She had never heard someone using her last name in such a manner. “I’m Dumbeldore.”

“Hi, Mr. Dumbledore.” She said simply, feeling as though she was staring for too long and decided to look at the brown carpeted floor instead. What a cool name, she thought

“Ms. Ben, you don’t mind me and Miss Hemlock going for a walk on the grounds, do you?” The man asked, turning his gaze away from her and to Ms. Ben. Begrudgingly, she nodded and moved aside so they could leave the room.

When, Keori thought to herself as she and Dumbeldor soon left the office and walked down the halls, was she going to be able to sit and rest?

The other girls, even the ones who ignored her, seemed to suddenly be interested in her, or maybe they were more focused on Dumbledore. She wouldn’t blame them. A grin of pride grew on her face as she walked, knowing that as soon as he left, she would be bombarded with questions.

As soon as they were back outside, she felt more at peace. Less children were outside due to the heat, so the two of them could talk without them being overheard.

“So… why do you wanna talk to me?” She asked as soon as she felt they were far away enough. She looked over at Dumbledore to find that he was looking ahead, a pouch in his hands as he ate candy. Keori blinked, now wanting some. 

“I believe Miss Ben had already told you, but I am here to talk about your arrangements for school.” He told her, looking down at her. “Do you fancy a candy?”

Keori quickly nodded her head, and the man had given her a nicely wrapped blue colored sweet. She grinded. “Oh, okay. I dunno if I’ll be able to go though, Mr. Dumbledore. I’m nothing good at work and ‘ve been told my brain works slow.” She then frowned. “Besides, I don’t fancy goin’ to some posh school, kids won’t like me.”

“Trust me, Miss Hemlock, these kids are like you. You see, your mother.” Instantly Keori stopped walking, staring at the man with a deeper frown.

“Don’t mention my mother.” She said rather harshly, but she didn’t care. It was a sensitive topic for her, and she hated talking about it.

“I knew her.” He said calmly, not at all bothered by her tone. “She was a witch, and so are you. You’re magical, and soon you’ll be going to Hogwarts where you’ll learn to harness your skill and become an amazing witch.”

Keori glared at him, not believing his words at all. If her mother was so great, she wouldn’t have drunk herself to death. 

“I know you do not believe me, however.” Dumbledore then pulled out a stick and pointed it to the pouch still tightly in her hands. Then, waving the wand mutely, the pouch pulled itself away from her hands and into the old man’s palm. She looked shocked yet also amazed.

“Woah… how’d ya do that?” She questioned. Maybe this weird man wasn’t lying to her.

“Magic and practice, and soon you’ll be able to do this as well. Now, I’ve told Ms. Ben about this, and I know you are unable to get the things you may need for school, so that is why I am going to send her all the things you will need for school.”

“Am I the only one? Only one here who’s special?” She asked, feeling pride swell up in her. The other girls will be jealous, and maybe she can use whatever spell Dumbledore had used to take things from them.

“Yes, but you mustn’t tell anyone.” He told her, his voice going serious. “It’s important that you don’t tell, as telling a muggle, a non magical person, about magic is against the Statue of Secrecy.”

“But you told Ms. Ben!” She pointed out, annoyed.

“I needed to as she is your caretaker.”

“That’s unfair.”

Dumbledore simply smiled at her. He turned around and started to walk back to the building. “Come on, Miss. Hemlock, I think our conversation is over. You’ll be starting school in a month and I’ll give both you and Ms. Ben letters on how to get to the train that will take you there.”

Keori frowned yet she nodded. At least after a month she’ll be out of this prison and maybe, maybe she’ll be able to make some friends. hopefully.

1, 2, 3, 7 (Frozen), 10 (Inside Out) and 31?

1) Harry Potter

Remus Lupin. When I first met him while reading Prisoner of Azkaban, he reminded me of all the best teachers I'd ever had: the ones that got me excited about learning, the ones that clearly both loved and were expert in what they taught, the ones who wanted nothing more than to share what they knew with the next generation and loved seeing them gain confidence in what they were studying. He also had such a calming aura in contrast to more fiery Gryffindors like Harry, Ron, or even McGonagall, and that was really cool to see. Then we learned more about who Remus was as a person -- who his friends had been, about his lycanthropy and the struggles he dealt with because of it...and yeah, I latched onto this man with all my heart! I admittedly have always had a soft spot for characters who are social outcasts (hence why my second favorite character is Luna Lovegood), but even disregarding this, I just wanted the WORLD for poor Remus! He'd had such a difficult life and he'd lost so much, and I wanted him to be happy. Sadly by the end of the series, he really didn't get that happiness I wanted for him, but that doesn't mean I love him any less. I love headcanons and stories about the Marauders in large part because of how much I love seeing James, Sirius and yes, even Peter rallying around Remus to support him out of nothing but pure, loving friendship. I only wish that things had been different and both Remus and Sirius could've rebuilt their grim, loss-filled lives with happiness the way they deserved. My other favorites include (as mentioned) Luna Lovegood, the Weasleys overall, Sirius and Regulus Black, and Professor McGonagall.

2) Hogwarts Mystery

Barnaby Lee! I explained better why in another post discussing my top five favorites, so I'll just quote that!

Barnababy!! <3 Okay, this boy is unquestionably my favorite character in the game Hogwarts Mystery, even if the writers do just make him a punchline a lot of the time. He just is such a beautiful subversion of all of the old Slytherin tropes. From the very beginning, he’s sort of framed as the “Crabbe/Goyle” to Merula’s Draco Malfoy, but he pretty quickly breaks out of that box by being so legitimately and sincerely innocent. He’s honorable and amiable to the point that MC just beating him in combat will make them his buddy, but he also blooms under their influence, showing off more of his protective and nurturing side after becoming their friend. He doesn’t want to take over the world – he just wants to be strong and to learn as much about magical creatures as he can, and he chases that ambition with determination! Slytherins are associated with selfishness and cowardice, largely because of their valuing of self-preservation, but Barnaby? The complete antithesis of that. He will literally throw himself in front of his friends to protect them from harm. And I just love that so much.

But yeah, my top four after Barnaby are Bill Weasley, Orion Amari, Talbott Winger, and Charlie Weasley; I also have a huge soft-spot for Chiara Lobosca, Rowan Khanna, Ben Copper, (as mentioned earlier) the rest of the Weasley family, and Duncan Ashe.

3) Hogwarts Legacy

Ominis Gaunt! I always love it when Harry-Potter-centric media breaks the "Slytherin is evil" stereotype (I mean, hey, I am one myself), and yeah, unlike his buddy Sebastian who sort of stays on the gray side morality-wise, Ominis proves the "bad Slytherin" image 150% wrong while also showing a side of the Gaunt family we've never seen before. I just love Ominis's sass partnered with his quiet, unassuming nature, but also his strong morals and iron-clad loyalty. Plus it's cool to now have some representation for the blind community as well in the Potterverse. My other favorites in the cast are Aesop Sharp, Abraham Ronen, Matilda Weasley, Natsai Onai, and Poppy Sweeting.

7) Frozen

It's very, very close between Elsa and Anna, honestly. I personally relate more to Elsa personality-wise, but if there was a character from the Frozen musical I would love to portray on stage, it would be Anna. I love how comedic Anna is, which is something Disney female characters and female leads in particular rarely get to be, as well as how deathly loyal and determined she is...but I also find Elsa's struggles incredibly relatable in the first film and even if the second film is flawed, that doesn't mean I don't like seeing her get a more complete picture of herself as an individual.

10) Inside Out

Disgust, actually! I laughed the most at her in the first film, and I honestly love her aesthetic. I think my own Headquarters would have my Disgust at the head of the console, being discerning with what I do and who I trust, with Joy serving as support, especially at work.

31) Pirates of the Caribbean

Not a surprising answer, probably, but good old Captain Jack! I love him as this chaotic neutral sort who's kind of just out for himself, but still does have a heart and sincerely just wants to be free to live his own life his own way. My second choice, though, I think is more surprising, and that's James Norrington! I personally think he was criminally underused and then cast aside in the third film in particular, when he deserved SO much more focus in the OG trilogy overall. If I'd written the series, I would've had James as the Javert to Jack's Valjean, chasing him all around the Caribbean for at least one whole movie and maybe even having to team up reluctantly with Jack along the way before his fall from grace. And then, yeah, give James and Jack even more time to bounce sassy one-liners off each other. Perhaps Disney was already so afraid of how obviously queer Jack is that they elected to "no-homo" him by giving both him and Norrington respectively way more scenes with the only main female in the entire cast all in an attempt to shut up the Sparrington shippers. But come on, both Depp and Davenport had way more chemistry with each other than they did with every sapphic's movie girlfriend Keira Knightly, seriously.

Intro Or... Something...

Your Favourite Puppy Marauder, Occasionally Human

Sup, lovelies, I'm Sirius. I'm 16 years old, my only special interests are Remus Lupin and James Potter. Best friends too of course.

If you don't like:

Queen

David Bowie

TRex

Aerosmith

AC/DC

We probably won't get along.

I use whatever pronouns but mostly He/Him. Message me whenever you want, I'll probably respond quick, I don't do much outside of classes anymore.

If you're hoping for a sweet, funny guy, I'd find James, I don't do much of that. I prefer sass and flirts far more. So if you're down for a good flirt or run around, I'm good for that.
