Chapter 10 deserved a lil illustration

🧡

People always joke about the Marauders thinking a stray dog is really Sirius but imagine that the Marauders are exploring the Forbidden Forest and they split up and all of a sudden, a deer comes over and nudges Sirius. And he’s just like, “Oh, hey, mate.” And the deer just nudges him again. And they finally decide to head back to the castle but the deer is having none of it so they literally have to drag him out of the forest. Only they’re panicking because he’s not changing back and come on James, this isn’t funny, you know we can’t get caught. And so they start to worry that something is wrong and he can’t change back. And so they smuggle him back into the castle. And by smuggle I mean, they throw the Invisibility Cloak over him but since he’s a deer, it doesn’t really cover much. And that’s the story of how Professor McGonagall looks up and sees three boys shoving a headless deer past her doorway and she promptly decides that it’s not her problem.

So they get the deer to the common room and it’s only then that they begin to speculate that maybe this deer isn’t James after all. But the deer just keeps doing really vague things that could be James. And they spend the rest of the afternoon having to decide if this really is James and if it is, if he’s messing with them or if something’s wrong, and if he’s not, did they just kidnap a deer?

’He kept messing up his hair,’ said Harry in a pained voice.’ is maybe one of my fav lines jkr has ever written like Harry actually cannot deal with what a complete moron his father is 

I’ve got 99 problems and at least 98 of them are about the fact that we don’t know enough about the Marauders Era.

Sirius: So I’m in sort of a moral dilemma-

Remus: Do the opposite of what your gut is telling you Pads

Marauders umh it’s just a quck sketch sorry pgpphpg

I actually… love this a lot

I’ve never drawn this way before!

(It’s 21 year old Sirius Black.)

Obvs used Jeff Buckley as a ref because they are one and the same

I think my drawings of people tend to look a bit emotionless but I think this one looks a bit more alive.

James’ interest in the muggle culture have always given Lily a great feeling. When he danced to an Elvis song, however, she felt a whole new level of attraction and they were even already dating here.

let us appreciate james potter on this fine saturday afternoon

i am begging everyone to watch this video right now

I can never understand how Snape apologetics can stand up for him when he CANONICALLY does this shit.

I can maybe, maybe, understand those who haven’t read the books standing up for him, because honestly the movies don’t cover all the horrible stuff he does. But those who have read the books and still stick up for him baffle me.

I mean, you don’t see anyone sticking up for the Dursley’s or Umbridge, when they do the same stuff to Harry as Snape. How is Snape any different?

everybody always makes the marauders out to be super cool and suave but dude

they had codenames

they named their own friendship group

as far as i can tell only aBSOLUTE DORKLORDS DO THAT

how much do you wanna bet the entirety of hogwarts refused to call them ‘the marauders’ and they got all grumpy abt it

Sirius Black based off this pic I found a while ago. And Jeff Buckley’s hair. Because they are the same man. I feel like Sirius would also be super hairy haha!

I’m so proud of his hands!! And quite proud of his feet but I think they’re too small. Lets not talk about the wonky window idk why I added it.

Waiter: So what would you like to order?

James: Can I get a milkshake with two straws, please?

Lily, blushing: Aw, that’s so--

James, putting both straws in his mouth: Watch how fucking fast I can drink this.

nothing in the wizarding world has freaked me out more than the black family having the severed heads of their house elves mounted on the walls

because, like, that’s never said to be illegal in the wizarding world? posh wizards thing that’s a totally ok thing to do

the older i get the more i realize what it meant for lily and james potter to die at 21. when you’re 11 and you’re reading the books, watching the films, 21 feels ancient. it did to me. even the actors they picked looked like they were in their thirties, because actual 21 year olds standing next to harry in the mirror would have been an excruciating sight i think. actual 21 year olds lined up in the photo sirius shows harry would have been horrible to see. they weren’t adults. i look at 21 year olds now and most of them are still teenagers. and i’m so sad because you know harry turns 21 and then 22 and then 28 and 29 and realizes how terribly young his parents were, how brave they were, how exceptional they were, GOD I’M SAD IM GETTING A BEER
