OMG WAIT (see Here The Concept)

—where have you been? been ages you since you joined me for a run.

—turns up i don’t have anything else to run from.

—ha, can believe you said that with a straight face.

—been practicing.

—what? your poker face?

—no, you idiot. i’ve been practicing. with marlene.

—you’re joking.

sirius made a face. of course not even his best friend would understand. he didn’t either.

—you’re not joking. wow, that’s much worse. what has gotten into you, mate? thought you were leaving this place.

—turns up if i leave, they sack her too.

—didn’t think you were the caring type.

sirius fell backwards onto his mattress letting out a frustrated groan. it was all such a mess. he was a fault away from being suspended, possibly permanently. and yet…

—wait, i was joking. you seriously care if she gets thrown out? has mckitten gotten under your skin?

—don’t call her that.

—so she has. fuck me, i might need more than a run to wrap my head around it.

—this is all lupin’s fault. if he were here, i wouldn’t have to be dealing with none of this shit.

—sure mate, you keep telling yourself that. let’s pretend like you didn’t tried to actually be her partner from the start.

sirius came back up, sitting on the edge of the bed, appalled at the accusation.

—that was different, i was trying to get her into bed back then —he protested as if that was a much better reason.

—oh black, you’re going to wish that’s all that would’ve happened. you’re in so much trouble now.

sirius could still hear james laughing down the corridor on his way to make his nightly run.

he was right, though. he was in trouble, one way or another.

Sirius is an introvert forced to be an extrovert- they use their loudness as a cover so that they are always cheery and nobody will think something’s wrong

Regulus is an extrovert forced to be an introvert- growing up he watched Sirius get in trouble for being loud and acting out so he learned to stay quiet

Why Sirius got banned from powerpoint night

Do you think Remus had a second of happiness and relief when he saw Peter alive on the map just before the pieces started falling into place? That he thought "oh thank god, he's alive, my friend is alive" but then he understood that if Peter was alive, something awful had to have happened? That a great and terrible mistake must have been made? And do you think that while his heart was breaking with understanding and hatred, another part of him kept him going, thinking that after all, Sirius had always been the Sirius he knew?

Nymphadora Tonks is an incredibly smart, strong, capable witch, and she is a 23-year-old with a massive crush on an emotionally unavailable man. And that is why she will always be the most relatable character in the series to me.

i’m having a moment thinking of chivalrous sirius black. that wasn’t merely good manners and proper education. he was mirroring orion for fckng sure.

don’t get me wrong, i’m 100% sure orion defended his wife with claws and teeth, specially when it was sirius the one fighting her.

i imagine sirius rebellious strike reminded walburga too much of herself so she was definitely worried how he would turn up. and because of that they bickered often. and while sirius also picked up fights with his dad, orion didn’t react as badly unless he felt sirius had gone too far with walburga.

he might not thought it as: that’s my wife you’re disrespecting, boy, but more importantly that’s YOUR MOTHER.

orion understood the sacrifices walburga made for the sake of her family and while he accepted with dignity the fact that she might never love him, he did protect her (not that she really needed it).

that’s the reason walburga don’t mind that much, cause he’s present in all the ways she needs him to be.

and that’s why when and if ever he is unfaithful, he goes out of his way to pick a witch outside their circles. but with druella is personal, it’s has to do more with himself than with her wife.

just in general i think that however wrong and misguided their actions might be, pure blood families, especially old ones like the blacks and malfoys, valued their families above anything else.

there’s a reason they got to be MOST ANCIENT but also, there’s a reason the family finally crumbled.

(we all know if sirius had survived he either wouldn’t have had kids or would’ve done MUCH MUCH MUCH differently).

i think walburga wouldn’t care for orion being unfaithful as long as 1) he was discreet about it and 2) he didn’t get involve with anyone near her circle. after all, their marriage isn’t rooted in love.

problem is, orion and cygnuss have been feuding ever since they were kids (orion is closer to him in age than walburga) and finally he decided to start an affair with druella, who happens to be not only is his cousin’s wife but also the one woman walburga despises the most (she never wanted for her to marry his brother).

meanwhile alphard knows all this is happening and stays as far away as possible from all the drama, cause even if he tells his sister, she would find a way to blame him somehow, shot the messenger and all that.

Can I have some blackinnon headcanons😔

sure you can! i love thinking of those two 💓

these are a few of the top of my head:

- they have similar stories for their first kiss. marls went to a party with some of mary’s muggle friends and got to play spin the bottle. james and sirius went exploring the underground one summer and ended up in a very family oriented neighborhood and crashed a birthday party. sirius kissed the birthday girl, ofc. he then got banned from visiting the potters.

- somewhere in fourth year marls kiss sirius, caught him off guard. she just wanted to know what all the fuss was about. things didn’t change much after that.

- fifth year last day of school both marls and sirius have gone through a lot (the prank, marls got into a horrible fight lily, the whole war situation getting worse) so they hook up as means to distract themselves. surely nothing would change right? WRONG.

- cut to the hogwarts express getting back to hogwarts starting sixth year and they both get all so awkward when they bump into each other. it’s embarrassing.

- marlene wrote a few times to sirius over the summer before second and third year. nothing major, nothing relevant. except for the fact those were the only letters walburga allowed for sirius to receive and respond to (aside from peter’s). sirius thinks he secretly did, but walburga knew.

- sirius showed marls around muggle london the summer before seventh year when he went to live on his own. they were together when he bought his infamous leather jacket (secondhand as the leather is always best).

- at some point during the war when things gets worse and it might seem like they will actually lose, sirius implied a proposal to marls. he never actually said the words. they were drunk (i wrote about it i think). anyway, sirius himself diss missed it as “never mind, im drunk, i’m might die soon anyway”.

- marls couldn’t stop thinking about it and hated sirius for putting the idea in her head. she had never thought about marriage, not even after lily and james married, but it’s sirius, after all. she ends up dying instead.

- this one is sad (well, even more so). i think at some point marls had a miscarriage. again, never thought about kids and i personally don’t see blackinnon as parents ever (i project way too hard onto them im afraid), but she never tells sirius about it until they found out lily’s pregnant. marls thinks it’s an horrible idea to have a kid during a war. sirius thinks it’s fine, they’re in love, it’s meant to happen. marls crumbles right there and then after picking a fight over it with sirius.

- padfoot visited marls grave way more often that he’ll care to admit.

didn’t mean to get so depressing but it’s the angst of it all that does it for me 💔
