I Just Watched The Trailer Of A Movie And Now I Need To Turn It Into A Blackinnon Story.

durmstrang!sirius and slytherin!marlene | dark!blackinnon au

walburga senses, as most mothers often do, that hogwarts may not be the right place for sirius after all, so before his letter arrives at 11, she ensures his place at durmstrang is secured. he is a black, so that’s easy enough. and while sirius is our fully rebellious teenager that we know and love and doesn’t exactly fit within the black family standards, he can’t quite deny that he’s having a bit of fun learning a few new tricks in his heavily dark arts oriented school.

on the other side, we have a completely surprised marlene after being sorted into slytherin. and yet she can’t quite complain. the views from under the lake are stunning and there’s a lot of comfort surrounding her in her new house. and she can’t exactly claim she doesn’t fit in either because after all, not only his father is head of a department in the ministry, but the mckinnons are a well respected pureblood family even if they’re not considered rich enough to commune with the highest wizarding families.

both sirius and marlene are surrounded by people talking day and night about the dark lord and his promises to build a new world and how he will reward his most loyal followers. neither are particularly interested in it and, at this point, they’re both safe enough for them and their families to not being at risk.

also yes, they’re both know each other, seeing as marlene is the daughter of an important figure in the ministry and the black’s business often times coincides within the realm of the ministry, they were the type of kids who tag along their parents from time to time and they were left to socialize. they got along well enough, to the point marlene had been disappointed when certain heir didn’t joined her in hogwarts.

now let’s cut to after graduation shall we?

sirius ends up joining the death eaters because he feels someone has to look after his idiot brother before he manages to get himself killed.

marlene doesn’t join the order given her acquaintances in hogwarts, thinking she might not be able to keep it a secret and believes her family is safe as long they don’t say anything against the new world order that is expected to take over.

except his father ends up using his position in the ministry to his advantage thinking he might have a chance to impact change for good and death eathers find his involvement with the order. they not only set out to kill him, but as a precaution they kill all of his family with the exception of marlene.

marlene has two choices: either join the order and help them win the war or set out to plot revenge for her family on her own. she chooses the latter.

now, in this au regulus tells his findings about the dark lord to sirius and doesn’t die in that cave. but that doesn’t mean he’s saved.

sirius now holds the power to take down voldemort once and for all and because he heard what happened to the mckinnons, set to reach out to marlene playing a bit of double agent himself.

trouble is marlene has found the death eaters headquarters and manages to bring the whole building to the ground all on her own.

now, any guesses who’s little brother was inside that building at the time of the explosion?

that’s right: regulus black.

what’s sirius to do now? especially since marlene is showing no remorse for her actions, claiming it was regulus choice to join the death eaters in the first place, knowing damn well the risks.

james potter (lead guitarist and vocals): if i had to pinpoint the moment it all started to get derailed, i would say it was the moment regulus died.

remus lupin (bassist): she [marlene] flew all the way to where we were just to tell him. his brother had been dead for a week. no one in his family had reached out.

peter pettigrew (drummer): lost a major gig for her agency. she didn’t care. it was her way.

james: it was all so fucked up. that same night after our concert we got introduced to the prewet brothers who then got us our first record deal a week later.

remus: he was in flames. i’ve never seen him perform like that.

james: something change that night.

peter: it worked though. got us where we wanted.

okay, hear me out…

a story written in interview format where famous rock band ‘marauders’ explain once and for all why they broke up back in 1981 following the dead of, according to the media at the time, a random groupie.

james, remus and peter have all lost contact with lead singer sirius black.

where is he now?

is he still alive?

and who was the groupie and why did it matter so much as to mark the end of such a promising band?

marlene mckinnon’s name will haunt the narrative much as she did when she was alive.

(i blame daisy jones and the six for this and damiano david cover of ‘ella baila sola’ cause don’t tell that isn’t sirius singing about marlene)

Lily telling James “you’re not funny” right after laughing so hard she snorted at one of his jokes.

someone give me dark!blackinnon pls

Putting @blvnk-art new mum and dad pics side by side so my little heart can tear straight out of my chest.

a @jilymicrofics "how"

“How? How?” Sirius asked, an incredulity to his voice James didn’t often hear. “How did you not say yes when Evans asked? Are you a complete moron?”

“I froze! I—I just. Bloody hell Sirius, she asked me out.”

“—so I’ve heard—"

“What’s a bloke supposed to say to that?”

“Er… yes? Seems pretty straightforward to me—if you’re into that sort of thing—when a girl you fancy asks you out, you say yes. Not run away screaming like a banshee.”

“It wasn’t that high-pitched.”

“Not according to Moony.”

“…fuck.”

let’s say mckinnon is not marlene’s maiden name. let’s say she’s a bit older than sirius. let’s say she’s either divorced or a young widower. let’s say she’s a mother. let’s say she has a four year old son. let’s say she met sirius through some sort of miraculous event. let’s say he gets along well with her son. not only that, but sirius introduce them both to the potters. let’s say her son and harry, sirius’ godson, become best friends. let’s say marlene fall in love with sirius through the small ways she sees him caring for her little son, the most precious being in her life. let’s just say, ok?
