Just So You Know, There Are A Lot Of New Chapters On “like A Bludger To The Heart” Cause, As Always,

"i'm so good at loving you more by saying i love you less"

marlene mckinnon downplaying her own feelings for sirius black.

think about remus mourning peter alone for thirteen years

the whole prank situation to me didn’t change significantly the marauders dynamic, but i do think it played a role in snape worst memory where we see remus getting uncomfortable with the whole situation. so there might be something in there that steams from the prank (so for me yeah, there’s is an after the prank but that’s not the point here).

back to the prank:

remus probably wrestled every month with the guilt of him turning into a dark and dangerous creature and what it would mean if he got loose near some many wizards. so him confronting the idea that he could have killed snape wasn’t news to him. if anything proved that snape it’s utterly stupid ‘cause what do you mean you got directions to confirm your long held suspicion of one of your classmates being a werewolve, something your completely sure at that point, and you still went to find him during a full moon? what, did snape expected to be the first wizard ever to tame a werewolve?? did he seriously didn’t get the fucking joke???

if anything, remus is more shaken up about james. and james it’s a little too (but not for long) because it’s implied that he got face to face with remus in his werewolve form fully aware of the risks and he didn’t fucking knew if he was getting away alive out of it (or maybe i’m being dramatic and he just pulled severus out of the tunnel lol like honestly how hard does one have to try to earn a medal for services to the school, riddle only told on hagrid, it wasn’t like he was actively saving a student).

anyway, whatever james did, he did it to protect remus, not snape or even sirius, who might have gotten into trouble as well and as we all know, he’s no stranger to getting detention.

also, did severus honestly thought he was the only one in the whole school to be aware of the situation??? are you fucking kidding me??? your suppose to be smart.

so no, that particular moment didn’t put any strain into remus relationships with his friends, not even sirius.

i mean, are we forgetting that snape tried to out remus during PoA and even then remus took the piss on him with the whole map situation?? my man doesn’t care about snape’s feelings. he’s a marauder.

sirius black was meant to inherit the fortunes of both his grandparents, one through alphard and one through orion.

this is what could turn him into potentially the most powerful wizard in the lense of society. we know the malfoys were the richest when we were introduced to them, but that was in a world where the black heir was in prison.

this is what sells to me the idea that neither walburga or orion wanted to play the family game and leave the task up to cygnuss, since alphard didn’t played along either.

walburga and orion marriage was a powerful move. together they ensured the next heir to be powerful whilst securing the family line. but also, there’s a chance they had regulus not as the spare, or at least not in the sense for him to become the heir in case something happens with sirius, but more as to spare him of any duties.

they could’ve put all the expectations and pressure onto sirius and simultaneously free up his youngest to be who ever he wanted to be, an option they didn’t have.

James: Hello ladies

Lily:

Mary:

Marlene:

James: You may be wondering why I'm taped to the ceiling.

is this blackinnon? ofc it is.

I have so many favorite hc for blackinnon, but my all-time favorite is Sirius having a bad feeling the night Marlene dies and telling her not to go home, to spend the night in his house, to stay together-- but Marlene thinks he is being paranoid and goes to visit her home, and ends up dying there with her family. I just love the idea that Sirius lives with the regret that only if he insisted more, maybe that wouldn't have happened.

ballet academy au | blackinnon edition

she had decided to work on the new choreography emmeline had taught the girls that week, so she’d told sirius he was free to do whatever he wanted for the night.

when she finally stopped, frustrated in the middle of the song, she was startled to see him leaning against the frame of the door, watching her.

—you can fit three in there.

the song was still going on in the background.

—the beat is for two.

thankfully she could blame physical exertion for being so out of breath.

—just try it.

—and why should i listen to you?

it was one thing for him to show up out the blue, but now he had opinions on her dancing skills too.

—because my family has been at this for long before you tried on your first tutu and i might actually know what i’m talking about?

—wait, is it me or did it sound it like you almost said something nice about your family?

—see, that’s a common misconception. yes, my family tree it’s full of talented people: dancers, choreographers, orchestras conductors, creative directors and what not, but that doesn’t make them less shitty people.

—right, right, where as you only landed the shitty part, got it.

—joke all you want but this isn’t about me. now try it out how i told you to.

she gave him a quizzical look and too tired to protest, she decided to try again, following his suggestion.

she had got so caught up in the music, she didn’t realize sirius had left his place by the door and had been following each of her movements, circling around her.

he was standing in front of of her when she finished.

—see? that’s gives you more of an edge. stop trying with the soft and fluffy choreographies, it’s not you.

sirius was so close now, right in front of her, that she had needed to tilt her head to catch his eyes. there’s was something different about him that night and she couldn’t quite point out what.

—so aside from being a ballet critic, you also think you know me now?

sirius licked his lips, a small smirk on them.

—i have been dancing with you for the most part of the last six weeks. you’ll be severely injured by now if i didn’t.

marlene let out a shaky breath. sirius was much too close.

—not to count we’ve been classmates for years, mckinnon

and at that, marlene dropped her shoulders and shook her head.

—thanks for the tip, but i’m tired now. the space is free for the next hour if you want to use it.

hurriedly, she went for her bag and left him alone.
