reblogging this bcz the angst is crazy
Peter pettigrew/ bertha jorkins dating in hogwarts should be everyones headcanon bc it's so fucked up.
They would both have been so proud of a relationship they each perceived as with someone more popular. It was a fond memory to look back on.
She recognizes him even though her memory is fucked up. Right before she dies.
James:
Plans pranks like war plans to the point even Remus is impressed
Would steal Sirius’ leather jackets and Snape’s potion notes
Accidentally calls McGonagall ‘mum’ from time to time
Catches Regulus staring at him and is somehow flattered
VERY open to public affection with Lily Sirius:
Ties his hair into a bun with his wand
Sometimes gives Remus chocolate just to see him smile
Wears crop tops
Eats Snape’s homework (as a dog)
When people keep thinking he’s James’ brother, he doesn’t correct them and grins widely
Remus:
Way too sarcastic
Has social anxiety
Was either a piano or violin kid before Hogwarts
Is double-jointed (it scares Sirius and James tho)
Gossips with Marlene and Lily
Peter:
Laughs at the wrong time
That one kid who always explodes their potion first
Always the one who catches James and Lily snogging but just turns around, sipping from his mug like nothing happened
Allergic to nuts
Gets his face squished so many times when he tries to ask a girl out
i absolutely adore peter pettigrew, he is my favorite marauder, i think he’s absolutely brilliant, and NO ONE can ever take that away from me
He's traitor, he's coward, he's Snitcher...
But oh boy, do i love him? Yep...
i have a harry potter theory that "marauders" wasn't what james, peter, remus and sirius called themselves but 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘱 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳.
AND there is 𝘯𝘰 way that filch just happened to confiscate the map off them, no no. they 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵 the map for future pranksters, because what the hell were they supposed to do with a map for a place they are not returning to.
of course, they might've called themselves the marauders too, but we have no proof they did, we only know that it's the name of the map, the map that guided them through pranks and would-be detentions.
thanks for coming to my ted talk! :D
