[James Watching Young Luna And Harry]

an essential part of writing marauders fics is the google search entitled "synonym for serious"

Remus: i love studying and getting good grades

Also Remus when exams roll around:

Evan is deaf in one ear cause he tried to cut it off-he wanted the pain from the future to stop screaming at him

Regulus: I'm the most mysterious person in earth. Nobody truly knows me.

Later:

Regulus: I'm changing my password.

James: Snowdrop

Regulus: .... How did you-

James: come on, it's your second favourite flower, Reg. I know you.

Regulus: ...

Barty: ...

Sirius: ...

James: Try a planet

Regulus: *starts typing*

James, smugly: Mercury.

Everyone: ....

Prompt 1: aparecium - 216 words

Remus was feeling nervous. He had wanted to show his friends the map for a while, but he needed to make sure it was perfect first.

When he did show them, they were all impressed.

"So you're saying that with this we should be able to se everyone, at all times?" James asked, astonished

"Yeah, but I'm still working on a spell for that to apply to everyone in the castle. For now I just enchanted the teachers and Filch"

"I'll help!" Said Peter, looking excited. He always liked researching for pranks.

"We should put a spell so only us could see it. Like, with revelio or aparecium" Sirius suggested, still staring at the map.

James brightened up at this "it should probably be some frase, though. And if they say it wrong, the map insults them"

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" Remus whispered and Sirius' head snapped up

"Say that again" he said

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good"

"Yes, Moony! That's brilliant" Peter said, excited

"You're brilliant" Sirius muttered, his eyes shining in admiration.

He usually looked at him like that, like he had hung the moon in the sky.

Remus would never admit it out loud, but those eyes melted him inside and out.

Sirius drove motorcycles and James drove sports cars

i used to think my lil harry potter phase would stop when i got older.

then i crossed over to the gay side. oh boy. oooooh boy. this is now an integral part of my personality forever i'm pretty sure heh

and i'm so here for it.

Okay 6th year gryffindors learning the patronus charm and James is one of the first to get it (after Lily and Sirius, remus found an excuse to sit it out bc he didn't want to risk the class seeing a wolf and putting things together). They've already done the theory so they know the whole 'reflective of your soul' or 'changes to represent a loved one, especially if they are your happiest memory' and when they eventually manage corporeal patronuses, James' happens to be a lion.

A big, prowling, majestic lion. Most of the room are impressed and a little jealous but not too shocked by it, they automatically assume that it's the animal which most resembles him because...gryffindor lion. It doesn't get much more James potter than that. But his group are very confused. Patronuses were supposed to match animagi and they'd already managed that one, so they had silently accepted that it would be a stag. So when it isn't, they have to hide their shock. They sort of brush it off after a while because James is similar to a lion so maybe it's just something to do with strength in the memory he chose?

But James knew the second the lion looked at him that it wasn't his animal. He would always be a stag, he knew that much for sure. This was Regulus. Cor Leonis. The lion, brave, strong, and powerful but cowering behind the powerful women in his life and 'lazily' biding his time until he has no choice but to do something. More importantly, James loved him, and nobody was supposed to know. His patronus has shifted from a stag- prideful and representative of James as an individual- to a lion- a symbol of his love, power and courage. And he is the only one that knows.

you know the marauders brainrot is bad whenever you see anything red and green together and immediately think of ahb instead of christmas..

I like the second one though 💫

I love that the marauders fandom wildly swings back and forth between “James knew that Sirius and Remus were in love and tried to set them up years before they figured it out themselves” and “James is an oblivious third wheel who could see the two kissing and think awww they’re such great friends”
