headcanon 1 about the potter brothers:
sirius finding out he was fruity, and immediately panicking, thinking of the worst case scenario of how james would react and how he might lose his brother.
————————————————
james finding out he was fruity, and immediately pulling out a checklist labeled “things sirius and i have in common.” and checking the “sexuality” box. then rushing over to tell sirius because he’s so excited to have something new to bond with his brother over.
snape is serenading lily, and it’s quite distasteful.
snape: so come run your hands through my hair, ‘cause that’s why it’s there.
sirius (to remus and james): “come run your hands through my hair”? i can make some bloody fried chicken using all that grease in it.
james is texting a sleepy regulus at 3am.
james: reg, would you still love me if i had no ears?
regulus: no, goodnight.
james is bringing sirius back home after a blood test.
sirius: *walks in happily with a lollipop in his mouth*
remus: i take it that the blood test went well?
james: he was in and out of that chair in exactly one minute!
sirius: yeah! and no biting this time, not even attempted biting!
sirius and remus are texting.
sirius: can we break up for 1 hour, 6 minutes and 11 seconds?
remus: no, but what for?
sirius: i wanna listen to adele’s new album from another perspective.
remus: as tempting as your offer sounds, it’s still not a valid excuse for me to dump you, sirius.
james: wow, you look like shit.
sirius: i stayed up till 5 am with marlene. do i regret it? yes.
sirius: but was it worth it ‘cause i got to help out a friend who needed comfort? absolutely not.
james found out about peter being the traitor, and he’s discussing it with the rest of the marauders.
james: i cant fucking believe it, petey? betraying us? after everything we’ve been through together? after all this time?
sirius: *standing up and reciting poetically* do not mourn the treachery of time, brother, for dogs have always danced on the corpses of lions. however, do not believe that their dance makes them above their masters, lions will always be lions and dogs will always be dogs.
remus: sirius, you’re a- you’re a dog.
people who were killed after dying:
1- dumblewhore: by all the marauders collectively, but lead by james.
2- peter pettigrowsomeballsplease: by sirius black and strangely regulus black too.
3- snivellus snape: by lily evans because “how dare you sacrifice my husband and son but ask for me to be spared?”
4- remus lupin and mary macdonald: they were suffocated by a hug from all the marauders.
sirius: i feel like i absorb the positive energy from the people around me.
remus: so you’re kind of like a dementor?
sirius: no, i don’t suck the joy out of people.
remus: debatable.
sirius: WHATDOYOUMEAN?!
modern au: the marauders all live and study together at a muggle university, but they’re going through ‘two weeks’ of online classes.
marlene: *bursts into the living room, laptop in hand where james, sirius and dorcas are sitting*
marlene: WHY THE FUCK DID YOU LEAVE THE MEETING?
sirius: THE TA TRIED TO PUT ME IN A BREAK OUT ROOM WITH STRANGERS AND IM NOT HAVING ANY OF THAT.
marlene: COME BACK TO CLASS, YOU PUSSY.
sirius: IF YOU’RE GONNA CALL ME A PUSSY, YOU BETTER PUT ‘EATER’ AFTER IT. MY WAY- MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY!
remus: *unmuting himself and speaking*
remus: sirius, you’re gay and marlene, learn how to mute yourself.
sirius: *places a newly rolled blunt on the street*
sirius: it’s a highway…get it? highway? cause blunt and road…y’know?
james: *throws his shoe at sirius*
lily: *hexes him bald*
remus: *takes off his wedding ring and places it in sirius’ hand*
regulus: *updates his insta bio to ‘only child’*
james: hey…what if mike was actually short for micycle?
lily: it’s 3 in the morning, and i swear to merlin if you don’t shut up, you will wake up without a tongue.
james: *mumbling* sirius would’ve found it funny…
lily: then by all means, go sleep with him instead.
plot: mother james is nagging sirius to get his transfiguration essay done.
james: it’s due TOMORROW MORNING, and it’s 9:15 pm, get a move on already!
sirius: well you said it yourself, it’s 9:15…which is basically 9:30 which means that it’s almost 10:00 and i really have to be in bed by 11:00. so…i haven’t the time to do anything, really.
me: i don’t chase, i attract.
the guy i like: *exists*
me:
plot: the slytherins are failing to get into the gryffindor common room to get sirius and james who just pulled another prank on them, while the two potter boys blast “insane in the brain” by cypress hill.
james: *dancing on a table* cops, come and try to snatch my crops.
sirius: *twerking by the portrait hole* these pigs wanna blow my house down.
remus lupin would 100% wear sandals with socks and think it’s peak fashion, sue me.
plot: regulus is talking to sirius about his new boyfriend.
regulus: i’m trying to come up with a new nickname for him, but nothing’s sticking with me.
sirius: alright, what reminds you of him? like something pleasant.
regulus:
regulus: …rugs.
sirius: what?
regulus: i like…rugs.
regulus: rugs are fluffy, they sometimes come in cute shapes too. he’s pretty cute, and he’s got fluffy hair.
sirius: you’re nicknaming your boyfriend after a type of carpet?
regulus: rug…reg and rug…rug and reg…i like it.
sirius: *groans into a pillow*
plot: regulus and sirius are secretly on the facetime with each other.
regulus: mother says that my “night time calls have to stop” she thinks i’m being too disruptive while she and father are trying to sleep.
sirius: aren’t old people supposed to be, i don’t know…hard of hearing? like, what’s up with the spidey sense luv? you tryna sleep or eavesdrop?
regulus: *bursts out laughing, eventually losing balance and falling off his chair*
sirius: *bursts out laughing at regulus, and ends up falling off his bed*
both of them stayed on their floors, staring at each others’ foreheads in the camera frame, wheezing with laughter for about 10 minutes.
plot: sirius is texting remus and james while he’s at a family gathering.
sirius: fuck me i hate it here.
remus: isn’t that lovely.
sirius: feeling h i g h k e y judged by some boomers for my band-tee.
james: well, you would’ve been judged whether you wore it or not.
sirius: BAHAHA FUCK-
remus: there’s this thing, idk if u know it, but it’s called the subtle art of not giving a fuck.
sirius: yeah no, i prefer to not give any fucks loudly and boldly.
remus, replying to himself: it’s very low key, i have it, and it saves me.
james: forget them, they’re probably reptiles anyways.
sirius: yeah, no, they’re too unsuccessful to be reptiles, but their dry skin is really backing up your point there prongsie.
sirius: OKAYGTGTHEYRESUMMONINGME.
lily rejected james for the 700th time, and he ran out of tissues to cry into.
james: *tears out a page from ‘the song of achilles’ and wipes his tears*
remus, only noticing the book cover and james’ crying: yeah…i get why you’re crying, that book is pretty fucking sad.
james: my love life is pretty fucking sad too, moony.
sirius confronting peter after betraying the potters.
sirius: i knew you were trouble when you walked in.
james in heaven: SO SHAME ON ME NOW!
sirius, singing his little heart out with james’ hair brush: got a long list of ex-lovers, they’ll tell you i’m insane.
remus: they don’t have to tell me, i can see it from a mile away.
sirius black had a fear of needles (but not when it came to piercings and tattoos). so naturally, he always refused to take blood tests.
remus: blood tests are very important sirius, we need to know which vitamins you lack and what’s going on in the junk food dumpster you call a body.
sirius: here for a good time, not for a long time.😗✌️
gm friends !
let’s all think about how peter pettigrew was the marauders’ biggest prank.
james potter- omar rudberg
sirius black- conan gray
remus lupin- hunter doohan
peter pettigrew- lewis capaldi
*in the marauders bedroom*
Sirius: Everyone has switch if you punch them hard enough
Remus trying to study: WHERE DO YOU COME UP WITH THIS?!
*Peter and James continuing their chess game because at this point they are used to it*
Pls don't judge 🙏
I know most people who write for HP don't like Peter Pettigrew but with your rewrite, could you not sideline him as the 'just there' Marauder? He was just as capable as them in Transfiguration and Potions. I may not like him but he wasn't the guy to just throw his friends under the bus at 11 years old for a corn chip like how some people write him as
I thought the same thing, actually. It’s why you’re going to see a lot of Peter in the rewrite. You’ll get to know about his home life, his hobbies, favorite colors, the songs he likes the same way you’ll know about the rest. He’s flawed, yes, but he also has a lot of good traits.
Thank you for the request, though, Anon. I like how you think.
