I very much agree
Reblog if you agree
Hermione: Guys, I'm not sure you're allowed to do that.
George: Don't worry about it.
Hermione: But it's against the rules!
Fred: Don't worry love, we have permission. *hands her a piece of paper*
Hermione: This is just a scrap of paper that says "we do what we want".
Hermione 99.9% of the time
one good thing about december on this hellsite is that this gif will be making its rounds again
you know you fucked up bad when the majority of your fanbase would rather have an OG character dead than whatever the fuck mess they pulled
so does anyone else ever think about the level of post-war wizarding celebrity the Weasley-Potters would have had? like
this is an entire family of war heroes that also contains the chosen one, two heads of Ministry departments, the Minister for Magic herself, a professional Quidditch player and later editor at the Prophet, an extremely successful wizard entrepreneur, an international curse-breaker, an ex-Triwizard champion, and an eminent dragonologist and they definitely all hold an Order of Merlin of one class or another
you can’t tell me they weren’t featured in wizarding papers and magazines every damn week they try to avoid it but it’s no use
trying to go to Quidditch matches or anywhere really as a family is a tricky business because of the paparazzi
eating Chocolate Frogs is a weird experience for all their kids because their family are on so many cards like ‘oh look i got Uncle Charlie again’ ‘here’s Aunt Ginny, I’m still missing Mum though’
Bill keeps being given Witch Weekly’s most charming smile award he’s won it like 9 times even with all his scars. one time Ron won it instead and he teased Bill about it for ages
a good portion of the people who rock up to George’s shop come not just for joke items but also to shake his hand (and later Ron’s) and pay tribute to the portrait of Fred that hangs in there
there’s a Hermione interview in the Prophet at least twice a week. if anything vaguely significant happens ever in wizarding politics everyone wants a comment from Hermione, even if it has nothing to do with her
George loves making up wild rumours about his family members and ‘leaking’ them to the press, like when he told them Percy and Fleur were having a passionate affair (this one backfired a bit because it was shortly before Percy’s actual divorce. the public excitement and interest was nothing compared to what happened later when it got out that Percy was seeing Oliver Wood, and then there was another professional Quidditch player in the family and it just got worse)
Harry finds it weirdly comforting that the wizarding world is now obsessed not just with him, but his extended family too - they all get it now
all the kids get hounded towards the end of the year because everyone at Hogwarts want to be invited to the Burrow (very heavily warded and impenetrable to the press) for the summer to witness the annual Weasley-Potter family Quidditch match, which is legendary
if there’s no new gossip the magazines just put in stuff like ‘recipes from the Burrow! Molly Weasley’s favourite dishes! how to feed a family of heroes!’’ or ‘losing track? here’s the Ultimate Guide to the Weasley-Potter family!’
it’s ridiculous
i strongly identify with the whomping willow. i, too, would beat people up to keep remus lupin safe.
Lily: *holding baby Harry for the first time*
James: Everybody, there's someone I'd like you to meet. This is Harry. Harry, this is everybody
Remus: Oh god, I can't believe one of us actually has one of these
Sirius: I know, I still am one of these!
Fluer: bill look away, i'm hideous
Harry: am i supposed to pretend i didn't just hear that?
So I have this theory/headcannon for Remus Lupin.
Firstly, it’s important to know that Remus is Bisexual (with a preference for guys), while Sirius is gay.
He and Sirius used to date. They dated all the way until James and Lily’s death, because Remus was under the impression that Sirius was the secret keeper. Remus felt angry that his boyfriend betrayed his best friend for his life, so they broke up. Not like a face-to-face break up, but it was pretty implied (as Remus never visited Sirius in Azkaban).
When Remus finds out what actually happens, he’s embarrassed. He doesn’t allow him and Sirius date again because he blames himself for not believing Sirius was innocent. It breaks Sirius’ already shattered heart, but he doesn’t fight the one guy he love loved.
Then Sirius dies. Remus blames himself more. He can’t really deal with all the pain. Tonks comes around. Remus starts falling for Tonks, but he won’t let himself admit it. He doesn’t want to hurt another person, he doesn’t want to forget Sirius.
After a while, he comes to terms with his feelings. He allows himself to get married to Tonks. But the panic comes really when he finds out that she’s pregnant. So much can go wrong. Harry was harsh, but helpful. Because, somewhere in his heart, he knew that Sirius would agree with Harry. So, when Teddy was born, he made Harry the godfather. He never doubted his choice.
Battle of Hogwarts. He would fight, because that’s what his best friends did. He never stopped fighting until he was killed. When he was killed, he knew it was for the best.
