I Have This Au In My Mind Where Marlene And Sirius Break Up And Marls Is Desperate To Get Rid Of The

remus lupin is the type of teacher to say "i'll wait." and then just stare at the class till everyone shuts up.

“Believe me,” croaked Black. “Believe me. I never betrayed James

and Lily. I would have died before I betrayed them.”

(Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban)

My new fave work and a little bit of James and Lily fanart to start the day

marlene and sirius fucking in the quidditch changing rooms, both covered in dirt, wet from rain, smiling like grass, and trying to keep each other quiet

i had to suffer through hazel hayes’s book “out of love” (which i highly recommend reading by the way, bring tissues) so obviously had to make it blackinnon so we could all suffer together 😇

a blackinnon story told in reverse: from the heart achingly lost of her life to the very beginning when they started to fell in love.

bonus points if near her death they closer to breaking up o they were already apart.

walburga would be caught dead before anyone ever accused her of praising a dark lord that turns out to be half-blood. the black family doesn’t have to prove themselves to anyone, they’re already well established in society. anyone knows them and knows what they stand for. sure, they share the ideas voldemort is trying to push into his followers for a new order of the world, but wouldn’t stood so low as to worship him. they’re loyal to themselves and themselves only.

but orion and walburga expected regulus to become a death eater. no they fucking didn’t. they expected, specially after what’s going on with sirius, for him to get an education, find a respectable wife, settle down, produce the next black heir and run the family business (whatever that is). regulus, meanwhile, landed in slytherin during a time all of his house mates, specially older ones, not to mention his own older cousin, are talking and praising the dark lord and how he’s gonna reward those who stand close to him. it’s a youth thing. it’s what everyone in his little bubble wants to become: a high ranking follower. and who could be higher than a black? also everyone is talking about how sirius turned out to be a big disgrace and although for their parents it’s enough with just disowning him, regulus thinks surely if i join the ranks of voldemort i could fix what my idiot brother broke, right? cause also they both think the other one it’s the idiot. the traitor.

later on regulus realizes the dark lord doesn’t care for the blacks and families like his and what they represent. but by then it’s too late and he does what he can before he dies.

but what if marls goes out with a slytherin at some point because guess what, they’re not all blood supremacist??? but he ends up being an ass in other regards, like maybe he tries to mess around with gryffindor team’s brooms or something. and he also thinks sirius and james are complete assholes but marlene it’s a bit like that’s neither here nor there, except he picks up the fact that something might have happened between marls and sirius in the past, specially because he caught her defending him after he did something borderline illegal (there’s a bunch stuff other than the prank) but immediately breaks things off with him when he comes cleans about the brooms.

and he leaves her by saying: i hope black knows how lucky he is.

meanwhile marlene reacting is something like: bruh what just happened???

If your reason for not shipping Ron and Hermione is because of all their bickering... you have a child's grasp of their characters.

Ron has five brothers and a little sister. You have to be quick witted to keep up with the amount of friendly fire going on inside that house. The loudest gets heard. He's always ready for a fight.

Hermione secretly judges people by their ability to keep up with her intellectually. Condescension is a reflex. It pushes people away before they can actually match her (because god forbid she lose).

Unstoppable force meets immovable object. Ron can't stop once he gets started and Hermione is too stubborn to admit she's wrong. And, the thing is, they both clearly love it.

Hermione wouldn't want a "yes" man and Ron wouldn't want someone who can't handle teasing. He challenges her intellect, and she gets an intellectual challenge. It's a win win.

this is gonna be sacrilege but…

i think if marlene had survived and the war had ended, she and sirius would have been that fiery couple, the kind no one would ever denied were deeply in love with each other but, at some point, would have gotten separated.

after a while, they both would have moved on, found new partners (never got kids though), saw each other occasionally, mainly for harry’s birthdays.

they would have become that couple, even though they were no longer together, that every one talked about when they weren’t present.

no one ever understood why they broke up.

their friends are still waiting for them to get back together.

I am traveling and 9 hours in a train is a lot of time to do silly sketches ( by the way super hard cause it moves like a lot ) I also tried to do regulus but got dizzy mid way.

I also read a fic of William turner X Jack sparrow that was too hot for reading it in public, took a nap, watched two house episodes and crocheted a few rows from my tapestry.

Super cool that I saw 🐄 and 🐑 also super epic running horses.
