Wolfstar's!Child - Mama Raised a Little Bitch

Parents!Sirius Black & Remus Lupin x Teenager!Reader (ft. Jegulily)

Reader's gender and Hogwarts house is unspecified

This is my first work of the series - if you have any suggestions or requests, let me know!

~~~

Fucked was not a strong enough word to describe how totally and utterly screwed you were now.

When you had first gotten your Hogwarts letter, your uncle Regulus had fallen to his knees (metaphorically) to beg you not to be like James, or your papa Sirius. Remus had joined in too, with both of them citing that ‘Sirius and James were bad enough’ as their justification.

With a promise you had intended to adhere to, you departed to Hogwarts.

In your defence, you believed you would never even come close to breaking it - you had been going strong for four years now, dedicating yourself to academia instead of continuing the Marauders’ legacy, much to the horror of your godfather and papa.

They had made a big deal about ‘disowning you’, opting to name Fred and George Weasley as their heirs, who were more than happy to accept. You believed it to be a joke. For the most part.

However, now there was a blot on your record - a spill of crimson Chardonnet on a white bedsheet if you will.

A blot that came in the form of Hera O’Donnell.

With her snide remarks and condescending attitude, she strutted around Hogwarts like she were the headmaster herself - as a lioness scoured a savanna for a deer to sink its fangs in to, she paroused her peers, searching for the easiest one to prey upon.

You were her chosen doe.

In her skewed vision, you wore shoes too big for you to fill - the weight of the Lupin-Black left you crushed by expectations and drowning in inadequacy, waves of failure washing over your head and coating the inside of your lungs with a thick layer of incompetence.

But your head remained firmly above water.

Despite her taunts and jibes being fruitless at first, Hera had hunted you down and separated you from your pack, and now, her teeth finally began to pierce your skin.

Logically, you should have informed someone. You were not alone - your dad and papa were forever on your side, along with your godfather James, godmother Lily, Uncle Regulus and all of your aunts and uncles, composed of your parents’ Hogwarts friends.

But Hera awoke a different part of you. Something more spiteful. Something more primal.

Reporting it would not be as satisfying. As gratifying. But revenge would be.

If anyone asked you about what had happened to Hera O’Donnell, you would simply claim something along the lines of how ‘her appearance had improved with the addition of a skunk tail.’ It amused your peers, undeniably, but the staff not so much.

Even as your head of house sat you down and informed you of the consequences of transfiguring someone like that and the numerous procedures that Hera was undergoing at St. Mongo’s, having been transferred there for more specialist care, you could not find it in yourself to care.

However, you absolutely did find it in yourself to care when a crimson envelope fell into your bowl of cereal the next morning.

You had expected your parents to be informed of the incident, naturally. But a howler? That you had not. Staring at the envelope, Hera’s words swarmed your mind. What if your parents now saw you just as Hera had?

With a quiet sigh escaping your lips, and sympathetic glances from your friends, you opened the envelope, hoping to get it over sooner rather than later. The voice of Sirius Black erupted from the envelope, filling the entire Great Hall.

‘MON AMOUR I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! TRANSFIGURING SOMEO- Oi, Rem, get off! I’m jus-’

‘I TOLD YOU OUR KID WOULD BE A FUCKIN’ GOD AT TRANSFIGURATION!’ Came a proud voice of Remus Lupin, cutting your papa off. ‘LOOKS LIKE YOUR PAPA AND GODFATHER NEED TO REINSTATE YOU AS HEIR AFTER ALL, SWEETHEART!’

As Remus declared that, two very loud and audible sighs of disappointment left the lips of Fred and George. The howler continued, and the sound of a door being slammed open was heard before the voice of James Potter joined in the chorus.

‘WERE NONE OF YOU GOING TO TELL ME THAT THEY TRANSFIGURED SOMEONE?!’ James cried out incredulously and overdramatically, however, he quickly forgot his dramatics in favour of the Marauders’ legacy.

‘NOW ALL YOU NEED TO DO, PRIY, IS TO BECOME ANIMAG-’ the sound of skin hitting skin rung out as Lily slapped a hand over James’ mouth to stop him from accidentally revealing that they were illegal animagi, despite the fact that they legally could register, but they all couldn’t be bothered. James and your papa said it was funnier this way.

‘Darling, as impressive as it is, please don’t transfigure anyone else,’ Lily chastised you gently. She had to at least give off the illusion that they were disciplining you, but you could hear the pride underlining her words and the smirk on her lips.

‘Now, I think it’s best we end this now, hm?’ came the still sophisticated voice of your uncle Reg. ‘Unless we want the entire Hogwarts populous to know James’ social security number.’ There was a chuckle from both the howler and the Hogwarts students at that remark.

‘I want you to know that I am proud of you. The family needed something a little more…Slytherin.’ Regulus remarked before the Howler burst into flames and tore itself up.

Silence filled the Great Hall as everyone took a moment to stare at you and process what had just happened. You looked up and your eyes caught Harry’s.

‘Good job,’ he mouthed at you, giving you a bright smile and a thumbs up from the Gryffindor table, beside a very peeved Fred and George.

Maybe you weren’t so alone or fucked after all.

the black cousins

regulus & sirius

brothers/cousins- they were extremely close as kids since they never really had any other friends to play with. but as sirius got sorted into gryffindor and made friends, and regulus getting sorted into slytherin the year after, they drifted apart. sirius not being able to separate regulus to their parents, and regulus being jealous of sirius' freedom and happiness.

regulus & narcissa

cousins- both being the youngest and deemed 'the golden child', narcissa protects and helps regulus handle issues and stay in good favour with everyone. narcissa being the only slytherin student he already knew well, she guided him in school to help him remain in good standing with the other slytherins but not getting involved in their harmful actions.

regulus & andromeda

cousins- regulus was always jealous of how much closer sirius was to her, how they kept secrets just between the two of them, how they'd sneak out together during parties and never invited him along. andromeda did try to influence regulus, getting him to understand the family's prejudice, but when she left, she cut all ties.

regulus & bellatrix

cousins- bellatrix tended to prefer talking to her sisters walburga when at grimmauld place, rather than sirius and regulus. so the two weren't really close. until bellatrix had joined the death eaters, and regulus was being urged to join as well. bellatrix was extremely keen for regulus to join. once sirius was disowned, she would stay during holidays, her behaviour and body language being so similar to sirius' was soothing at the time, and regulus listened to what she had to say.

sirius & narcissa

cousins- the two are complete opposites. where sirius is loud and defiant, narcissa is quiet and dutiful. narcissa sees sirius as a naive kid ruining their life, and sirius sees narcissa as a meek, vain, and self-absorbed. the two never got on, only connecting through alice fortescue.

sirius & andromeda

cousins- andromeda was like a guidance figure to sirius, teaching them how to escape, how to hide things, etc. she always tried to influence sirius in a good way, showing them their family's prejudice. the two being the only ones disowned, kept in contact. andromeda never fully believed sirius was a death eater.

sirius & bellatrix

cousins- so similar to each other, the exact same personality and impulses but ruled by complete opposite motivations. both being the eldest sibling, they take on a lot of their parents expectations and brute of their anger. but both of them hate themselves deeply, thinking they're too impulsive, angry, and a disappointment, that they can't help but despise the other for all the traits they share.

narcissa & andromeda

sisters- they were extremely close as children, as were bellatrix. but as they got older, andromeda grew more independent and outspoken and narcissa, seeing the aftermath of that rebellion, grew quieter and more compliant. after andromeda left, she cut all ties to her. but after the war, she extended a hand to narcissa and the two became close again.

narcissa & bellatrix

sisters- both felt like they had to protect the other, especially more after andromeda left. narcissa married lucius and gave up her quidditch dreams in order to stay with bellatrix, and bellatrix got narcissa out of having to take the dark mark and become a death eater. looked after each other their entire lives, to the point they made themselves miserable and crazy in attempts to be there and protect one another.

andromeda & bellatrix

sisters- although close as children, the two fought often, over toys, books, and the piano in the lounge. and as they grew older, the fighting got louder and more intense to the point the two, although loving each other, never confided anything in each other, instead telling everything to narcissa who never said a word. when andromeda left, bellatrix was the one who burned her off the tapestry.

hi! I love your writing 💕

can I request a scene of jegulus reunion during the war, in a scenario where they never broke up just separated to keep each other safe and now regulus started to work on destroying the horcruxes and realized he will need help so he comes to james?

anyway hope you're having a great day 💕

Hello! Thank you so much! I know you asked for this a while ago, and I have been mulling it over it my head ever since. But this one I do actually like a lot and I hope you do too! with love

Tell me it's True (1/1) (jegulus)

One minute James was fighting side by side with Sirius. The next minute he and Sirius were being pulled through time and space, stopping briefly at Remus and Sirius' flat, and then James was the only one being sucked through again and landing harshly on quiet shoreline.

He panted as he lay on his back in the sand. When he got his bearings, he gripped his wand right in his hand waiting for the thing that stole him off the frontlines to reveal themselves and their reason for taking him. But as he looked up at the night sky, realized he could see Regulus. And not the star but the his heart.

That's when he panicked. "Who are you! What do you want?" James cried hauling himself up, and pointing his wand at man in front of him.

"James," Regulus said. "It's me."

James wanted it to be true but he knew there was no way it could be. The war wasn't over, so there's no way Regulus would be coming to find him now. Desperate though he whispered, "prove it."

Regulus muttered a set of revealing spells, all coming up empty. He removed his overcloak and pulled up the side of his shirt, showing James the scar that ran all down his side, the one that James helped heal shortly after his father had cast the curse that did it. James lowered his wand.

He dropped his wand, fell to his knees, looking James in the eyes and whispered back, "mon amour, I've come to find out and brought you to this place like we planned all those months ago. And on a stone that has since sunk to the bottom of the black lake is a piece of you and piece of me, that holds a secret only we know."

James rushed to him. It recognized the beach where they were, recognized the words they promised to repeat, recognized the secret that bound them together, a stone cast with each of their blood tossed into waters of the first and last place they met.

And as James crashed into Regulus he held him so tightly and let himself be held with equal force.

Without pulling away, James spoke into Regulus' ear: "what are you doing here? The war is not over?" James asked.

"But it will be," Regulus whispered back.

This made James pull back. "What, do you mean?" James asked searching Regulus' face, his eyes, his hands flying up to cup the face of the man he ached for every night.

"Horcruxes, James. He made horcruxes. Six or seven of them... I'm not sure. But I've destroyed one. And I found you because I need your help to find the rest." Regulus explained staring into the amber eyes that shone in the moonlight.

"You're kidding," James replied. Regulus just shook his head.

"I'm sorry," Regulus explained.

"Sorry? What for?" James said, shock clear in his voice.

"The horcruxes they are terribly hidden, and torturous to get at. I don't want to bring you into this but I can't.... I can't do this alone." Regulus rushed out.

"No Regulus," James said looking at Regulus with a smile forming on his face. Regulus returned the look but with a quizzical expression.

"You are telling me you are coming back? You are coming back to me and you aren't going to leave again?" James said. Pleading for Regulus to confirm, desperate to know he hasn't misunderstood.

And Regulus kissed him. Then he nodded his head.

"Yes James I'm here to stay. Always have been and I'll continue to be, yours."

ok! BUT what would be essie’s relationship with harry if regulus survives and raise her! 😗 cause obviously he’s gonna make amends w sirius and then they’re gonna be close again!!!! and with sirius comes the marauders 😊😊

so i imagine like they would be the cutessttt babies! 😾 and they’re best friends and there would be so many playdates 😻 and they bond over uncle siri 🤝🏻🤝🏻 but what do YOU think?

(i take it you mean where the mauraders live too? cuz you mentioned them)

their bond, while really good in the essie series, would be LEAGUES better in this au!!!

regulus isn't much of a people person so he's not very good at scheduling playdates, but thats okay cuz sirius and james probably just bust into his house anyways so their kids could play together (regulus probably hexed them on accident cuz they thought they were robbers or whatever)

since essie can't really hang out with harry over summer break cuz of camp, they'd most likely be besties at school. the golden trio becomes the golden quartet because they're basically childhood friends and there's no way they're gonna go their separate ways just because they got sorted into different houses!

i don't think essie will like draco as much in this au tho, because she'd take the whole draco bullying harry thing much more personally since that's HER bestie he's messing with. so yeah, while she liked him in the essie series, she'd detest him in this au 😔

(also, essie will have a british accent here lol. regulus probably tried to live in new york so they can be closer to camp, but the second he saw the sizes of the rats, he noped right outta there)

Some James headcanons

(most of these will probably be jegulus related)

James loves to play with regulus’s hands. Just like hold them, play with with fingers, trace lines on his palms, etc.

If James and Regulus were ever separated while it was raining, James would call or facetime him so they could still dance in the rain together

James likes to dance in the rain

James is really good at identifying spices. This 100% due to him helping Effie cook as a small child

James is surprisingly fantastic with kids. Sirius once needed James to babysit Dora when something had come up and he couldn’t do it. He was worried about leaving James with a child because of his reckless and impulsive behavior. However, he came back to find James and Dora having a great time whilst still being safe. If Dora was doing anything to destructive or otherwise dangerous, James would really calmly explain to her why they shouldn’t do that and suggested a different activity

every time James leaves the house he has to buy a drink. Not even like an alcoholic one. He’ll just always have a drink (or several) on hand.

he really likes swimming.

He plans out beach days with all his friends over the summer and it’s an absolute blast.

Fleamont potter is a retired cop. And that means he knows when people are bad news. And those two new kids James keeps having over- they're bad news.

James is usually an excellent judge of character. All his other friends are nice, respectful, and very polite-looking. But they all have shitty families so Fleamont practically adopted him on the spot. Which means he's protective of all of them.

But Marlene and Remus? They're different, they're off. Both having tattooed arms and piercings, silver chains around their necks, combat boots. They just look so different from all James' friends and he doesn't like it for them.

But James wants to have all his friends over. All of them including Marlene and Remus. They all sit in the living room together and Fleamont keeps an eye on them. He's got an itch, letting the two of them be around everyone else. But nobody else seems to notice anything, quite the opposite. Regulus literally hides between the two giants, smiling unusually big at them. Fleamont really doesn't like it. The group starts watching movies together and some of them go outside to fuck around. All of them are allowed to run rampant until he realizes Remus is missing. "Hey, Regulus, do you know where Remus went?"

"Outside, I think," he replies quietly. Fleamont turns around and heads outside, looking for Remus.

And he finds him.

With his tongue jammed down James' throat.

James had been gone? James was dating Remus? What?

Fleamont knew his son was queer, it wasn't tough when he'd once caught him sneaking out to go to a gay bar. But he'd never seen James date a guy or anything. And dating Remus? It was never in the realm of possibilities for him. Remus was bad news.

"Hey, Potter!" Marlene popped up behind them, buttoning her shirt and fixing her hair. "Hands off my brother, ugly." She shoves James, a grin on her face.

"I could say the same to Dorcas," Remus comments, looking at her neck. "Also, Fleamont, we can see you, I am not blind."

"You kinda are," Marlene whispers. Marlene and Dorcas? What the hell? How the fuck did he not know any of this? He was always suspecting Marlene and Remus of hiding something, but he would never have guessed it was the fact that they were dating some of the nicest people in James' friend group. "Hey Monty!" She smiles and bounces past, humming under her breath. Remus slides past, trying to force down a smile. And Fleamont looks at James.

"Why didn't you tell me, James? I was worried Marlene and Remus were hiding the fact that they deal drugs or something."

"Oh, they do."

"What?!"

"I'm kidding, dad. No, they're really nice. They look much tougher than they are."

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah. Marlene has three cats cause she didn't want to separate them as kittens and Remus has a full closet of knitted sweaters so Sirius and I can take them."

"That's sweet." James nods. "And you like Remus?"

"Um. We've been dating for almost a year. I'm, like, completely in love with him." Fleamont nods, staring at his son. He'd never seen him uncomfortable or in any way embarrassed.

"That's nice."

"Dad, we've never talked about my love life before, we don't need to start now that you know I'm dating a guy." Fleamont smiles. "How'd you know we were out here?"

"I was looking for Remus, I was worried."

"Always the cop, dad."

"Yeah."

"Thanks."

the pact (pt. 2)

read part 1 here

what if james had been the only one to die on October 31st? what if Lily did as he said and took harry and ran?

sirius attempts to reconcile with the weight of raising james's kid(s) and the weight of doing this life without his best friend.

quick cw in there for loss of appetite/mentions of grief/depression

about 2k.

The tiny flat he had shared with Remus for the past two years had stopped feeling like home about 6 months ago as a dark storm brewed outside, and rain poured over their four walls., leaking through the ceiling. Sirius had started sleeping on the couch and Remus had stopped coming home altogether, blaming it on nights with the pack, when they both knew things were simply falling apart. The shower head was broken, the floorboards creaked, the windows didn’t shut all the way—the charm the tiny, rundown eyesore of a flat once had (similar to the way Remus’s socks on the floor and inability to make a decision had stolen Sirius’s heart once upon a time) disappeared in the blink of an eye. Which was perhaps a good thing. Because Sirius’s only home had ever really been James, and that was gone too. So it was astonishingly easy to move Lily and Harry into Number 12, a place he hated, a place he swore he would never go back to, after a few days of dusting, and clearing out the dark magic.

There was no place safer. Sirius knew that.

Take care of my kid, Sirius. Take care of Lily.

No one could come and go into Grimmauld Place as they pleased, even if they knew where it was, the house able to detect Black Magic and everyone else was unworthy. Yet Sirius was allowed to pass through the words, unworthy of the last name Black, unworthy of the title Godfather, James seeing the best and the brightest when there was nothing but broken.

Lily had unraveled entirely, laying in bed, unmoving as her husband on the floor of Godrics Hollow. The lights were kept off in her bedroom, and the faucets were left running by magic to mask the sound of tears and to wash away a stubborn grief stain left on the carpet. Sirius had gotten the dark magic out, a few charms here and there without breaking a sweat, but grief was a different beast entirely. Everywhere Sirius turned, there were still, lifeless bodies. Lily only moving to use the loo, or else down the nutrition Potions Sirius put at her bedside table three times a day to keep the baby healthy. Remus only moving for Order meetings, from his bedroom—their bedroom—to the dining room, to the kitchen, and back. It made Sirius roll his eyes, and he hated himself for it.

Lily who had ran.

Remus who had ran as well, using Harry and Lily as a pointed excuse to stay at Number 12 with Sirius when before he couldn’t have gotten far enough away. Using mourning as tool for separation between them, even after an olive branch made of bitten fingernails had been extended.

Sirius was surrounded by cowards, save a one and a half year old who was brave enough to cry. Brave enough to ask for things, for James, brave enough to say things out loud that no one else wanted to and feel his emotions when Sirius had to master how to shove them back down.

“Dada?” Harry asked, calming down from another fit of crying after breakfast, now sitting on Sirius’s lap, head, clutching Sirius’s hands with his own.

“He’s…not here, my love. I’m so sorry.”

“Mama?”

“Mama’s sleeping right now…” He managed, trying to conceal his tone for the benefit of his godson. In another life it would’ve been said with contempt and bitterness, Sirius closing the door to Lily’s bedroom after every check-in, shaking his head in dismay, and then almost immediately feeling guilty about it. Because it was an impossible choice. Sirius knew that, and there was Harry to think about.

Harry was mostly all he thought about these days, to keep his mind from going past the threshold of no return. To keep himself from reaching for a bottle the same way he did when Regulus died, or when Mr. and Mrs. Potter died.

But the worst part of Sirius…perhaps the part of him that cared more about James than anyone else in the entire world, including himself, thought Lily should’ve tried something. Maybe Harry would have been okay, from the vague ideas of Horcruxes being thrown around Order meetings now, something of a plan forming a little too late and Sirius bit his tongue then too. Rolled his eyes. Muttered under his breath. Excused himself to go check on Harry when Harry didn’t need to be checked. Maybe James would’ve stood a damn chance if someone was by his side, instead of leaving.

Cowardice never sat well with Sirius, and here he was in a house full of them.

“Dada?”

“I’m sorry,” Sirius muttered again, kissing Harry on top of the head, and this time, Harry’s face began to crumple, green eyes filling with tears. Sirius stood up immediately, knowing the quickest want to calm down a Potter was to keep moving.

James, let’s just…go for a walk, it can be a fast one, but I’m not running in these jeans. We’ll figure this out.

“Lets take a walk, mon petit amour…” Sirius paced rhythmically around the halls of Number 12 to the sound of his godsons cries, and the low hum of running water. Soon there would be another set of footsteps from Remus joining them, offering to take a shift with Harry, offering to start dinner, offering, offering, offering things he couldn’t fulfill.

Sirius climbed into bed that night after checking on Lily, and shutting off the faucets, making sure she took all the potions on the night table. Harry was sound asleep, for now, in his crib across the hall and Sirius watched him through the two-way mirror, Remus next to him.

“He’s not going anywhere…”

“You don’t know that,” Sirius responded, voice harsher than he intended it to be. Maybe.

“Baby…”

“What, Remus?”

“I don’t know…why you’re so mad…I know it’s what you tend to do instead of being—”

Sad.

“No, you don’t get to do that, save your fucking armchair psychiatry for someone who still has a fuck left to hear it,” Sirius said, putting the mirror down on the night stand and looking at Remus, “Don’t tell me how I’m supposed to feel about any of this because we know damn well that there’s a fucking baby in this and his mother isn’t—”

“She’s grieving.”

“And what am I? You think this is fun for me?”

Remus sighed, “I didn’t say that, Sirius.”

“And while we’re at it, don’t pretend that you know me. You’ve been… halfway across the fucking world for the past six months, longer maybe—”

“And where were you?” Remus asked back, “Like you were any closer.”

“Waiting for you.”

“Bullocks. That stopped too.”

Harrys cries started from down the hall and Sirius sighed, throwing the blankets off his lap and across the bed. Sirius had made a joke about it initially, how much Harry slept and how the parenting books he had read with James never mentioned the tiny traits that could be inherited. Sirius had laughed in the mornings, when James would call him through the mirror, anxiously dancing about waiting for his newborn to wake up, or his wife to wake up so he would have something to do. Now Harry slept an hour at a time, startling awake and screaming, calling for James and having Sirius come instead.

“I’ll see you in the morning…” Sirius muttered, grabbing his mirror.

“Bring him in here,” Remus sat up in bed as well.

“What?”

“Harry. Bring him in here.”

Sirius ran a hand over his hair, “Moons…I’m tired, I don’t—”

“You’re not doing this alone, baby, I don’t care how big of a tantrum you throw or how angry you are at me and the world for taking out your best friend,” Remus said firmly, “But I’m still here, or trying to be, and I know that doesn’t mean shit to you at the moment--"

"Don't put words in my mouth."

“Okay then bring Harry in here,” Remus repeated for the third time.

Moony’s it for you, I know it, mate. He’s been it for you since your first kiss. If you make it through this war, then you’ll make it through anything… Just say sorry. And give him that ring you picked out.

Sirius let out another sigh and left the bedroom.

Offerings.

Promises, promises, promises tying themselves in knots around every part of Sirius.

He picked Harry out of his crib, arms reaching out and gripping fistfuls of Sirius’s hair that he had forgotten to tie back.

“Shh, you’re okay, you’re okay,” Sirius soothed, running his hand over Harry’s back, kissing him on the side of the head. “Actually that’s not true at all, is it? No one’s okay…not Mama, not your Uncle Moony…not me,” Sirius admitted for the first time, pressing his cheek against Harry’s head as he rocked back and forth on his feet. To dampen the wails before walking down the hall, not wanting to disturb Lily. Not wanting to bother her. “I don’t know if we will be either…suppose that’s okay though. What do you say, babe, live a life that’s just okay? That might be the best I can do without your Dad.”

“Dada?”

“Yeah…suppose we try though…even if we’re a little sad…and a little mad? I’d be mad if I were you, babe. Stuck with me...” Sirius could feel Harry’s wet cheek in the crook of his neck and started moving out of the bedroom, down the hall, and into the big bedroom, with the big bed. Remus awake and waiting as promised.

“You came back.”

“You think I wouldn’t?”

“Lily, he’s been asking for you…” Sirius tried sitting at the foot of her bed.

“I know.”

“So…lets get up, shower, change—”

“This isn’t a we situation, Sirius, and I am tired.”

“And I’m not?”

“He was my husband.”

Sirius bit back the phrase on his tongue that sounded like and I loved him first in three different languages, choosing to put a hand on Lily’s shoulder instead. “He’s your son, and he’s asking for you. It’s been a month, Lils.”

“No it hasn’t-- your, your birthday?”

“Twenty-one really fucking sucked.”

“It’s…a month?” Lily rolled over, looking at Sirius bleary eyed.

“Just over.”

“I…what.” Red hair was in knots, Lily’s face thinner than it had been despite all the potions and the small meals Sirius had been bringing after having big meals left untouched. Pink nails that Lily always took such care to maintain, even in her early days of pregnancy when she was vomiting every morning and every night, chipped and broken and grown out. “The baby.”

“The baby,” Sirius confirmed, “This is a we situation.”

“James was supposed to be here. What am I going to do?”

“I’ve been asking myself the same thing and I haven’t found an answer. I’ll let you know if I do.”

“…How are you so…okay?”

I’m not. But someone had to be and it sure as hell wasn’t going to be you.

Every time Sirius wanted to yell at Lily, he heard James.

Every single time Sirius wanted to just rip the bedding off of Lily and dump her unceremoniously into the goddamn shower or drag her to a fucking Healers appointment, he heard James and a stupid fucking promise Sirius no longer wanted to keep.

He would rather it not be a we situation too.

But taking care of Lily, making sure her life was good, making sure she was okay was part of the pact. Even if he blamed her, with everything in his body, for not taking care of his best friend.

Sirius gave a weak smile, “It…gets easier,” he lied.

“There’s…hope?”

“Harry makes it feel like that.”

Lily sighed and sat up slowly, muscles weak from not moving for so long. “…Can you bring him here?”

things i’ve done that remind me of marauders era characters (saw this on tiktok and i just had to do it too)

sirius: got dress coded at school by my favorite teacher and had to change into ugly pants, so i cried in the bathroom

james: had a signature Move during volleyball that i would do after getting a kill

peter: was put into a separate reading class for kids who struggled to read. i knew how to read perfectly fine, i just had a speech impediment

remus: named all 50 states the fasted in my class so i got an award (i asked for a lemonade and my lemonade got stolen. i was very upset.)

lily: punched a boy in my art class because he was being sexist and i got in trouble for it?? (he was fine. it was a punch to the arm)

marlene: threw a book at a teacher during silent reading when i was like 5. it was a junie b jones book.

dorcas: won an award for prettiest eyes (yea i'm still proud of that. sue me.)

mary: i didn’t do this, but people would have a shit ton of nicknames for me because of my name. “mary had a little lamb” and “mary mary quite contrary” were very popular

regulus: did ballet as a kid, but panicked before my first recital and quit

pandora: almost fell off a building during my class dc trip because i wasn’t paying attention to where i was going

evan: engaged in an argument in class about the electoral college and my closing argument was “the electoral college is stupid” i feel like i won

barty: this also isn’t really something i did, but my locker number was 420 and people would hit my locker when they passed it in the halls

#idk why i threw that book at my teacher btw #i liked the teacher so idk what my problem was #marauders #sirius black #james potter #remus lupin #peter pettigrew #dorcas meadowes #marlene mckinnon #lily evans #regulus black #pandora lovegood #barty crouch jr #evan rosier

How does nature versus nurture theory work for Sirius and Regulus? The odds were against them. Their biological parents are both psychopaths, and they grew up in an abusive environment and then Sirius was sent to Azkaban for years. Does he possess any of Walburga and Voldemort’s psychotic behaviour? Is his obsessiveness from Voldemort? Is there a similar reason both Sirius and Voldemort are drawn to Harry (for different reasons obviously)? I always thought in canon Walburga was evil but Orion wasn’t as bad. He was strict but not abusive like Walburga, so I thought Sirius had one semi sane parent.

Of course, Sirius possesses similar qualities to his parents (both biological and not biological), qualities that are uniquely Sirius, and qualities that he tries to emulate from people he respects like everyone else. Personalities are comprised from a lot of different avenues in life. No one is solely a carbon copy of anyone. It’s not just nature or just nurture but a combination of the two.

I think Sirius faired better than Regulus because he was exposed to more people who had different ways of thinking once he hit eleven. Regulus wasn’t exposed to any of that and often fell more in line with his family. It was something Sirius did until he was sorted into Gryffindor.

I really dislike stories where Sirius is a small impressionable child knows his family is wrong. No, he’s just a kid in a very small bubble. Of course, he didn’t rebel or protest against them until he was exposed to the other side. He may have questions but I feel like the Blacks were very much like the Dursleys. They weren’t allowed to question certain things. Their curiosity was squashed. Individuality was dismissed. Regulus stayed in that bubble even at Hogwarts. It wasn’t until he was forced to do things he didn’t want to do that he “acted out” and fell out of line with his family.

I often think how interesting it would be to write a Slytherin Sirius story. A Sirius who asked to be in Slytherin so he didn’t upset his parents and being put into a similar position as Regulus as a young adult and being asked to do things he doesn’t want to do. I think it’d be interesting to show his growth and have him turn spy, a change in heart when he’s asked to do things he knows are wrong. It would be fascinating to see the Black brothers band together instead of separated.

I digress.

But I find them the most interesting characters in the entire series.

Hinny is fun and I love them, but damn… the Black family has always had me in a chokehold. I love combining both of them in Petrichor.

anyway, with my remus lover debate outta the way! (i say remus lover when he’s been on my “maybe kill list” for all my fics, has been described as my least favourite character in all of my fics and i once said “remus lupin is like those flat lollipops kids receive for halloween. they lick both sides and shove it between the couch cushions and their parents find it twelve months later with hair and fur and dust all over it maybe an ant or two who got stuck to it.”) i’ll share my favourite prongsfoot thing.

which. is their wedding.

because they’re both incredibly smart people! in fact, they’re both TOP 5 in their year. (Sirius got top in Potions much to his dismay and Care of Magical Creatures and James was top in DADA and Arithmancy) like sometimes their sheer genius freaks people out. however. they’re also stupid as fuck sometimes. LMFAO

i feel like they’d have a pretty rushed wedding once they know they’re in love and not just best friends. like a “as soon as graduate” wedding. but they’d both kind of just, assume things(?) almost. like Sirius is just like “i want to walk down the aisle so i’m gonna, and McGonagall is walking down with me” and James would know that Sirius would like a traditional wedding so he plans to make the ‘sacrifice’ and walk down the aisle with Fleamont by his side. And neither of them quite realise they both plan to walk down the aisle until like four days before the wedding. and by that point they’re like “fuck it” and they both end up walking down.

another issue arrives of them fighting over groomsmen/groomswomen. James immediately takes claim over Lily but Sirius is like “What! No! I was friends with her first! You just had a crush on her!” and they squabble about that for a while until they both decide to be the bigger person and ‘give’ the other person Lily but now they’re squabbling over who’s the bigger person. same thing happens with Regulus “He’s my brother Prongs!” “Well I was the one who friended him and made you guys make up!!” and a similar situation would happen. After they do the same with Marlene eventually their wedding planner (probably Pete or someone TBH) gets annoyed and starts to just assign them grooms people.

James thinks it’s funny to order a wedding dress for himself but then realises he never actually got a proper suit so his only option is the wedding dress or fancy wizarding robes which him and Sirius agreed not to wear lmao. So him and Fleamont have to go all over town the day before the wedding looking for a suit that fits James properly. Because they waited til the last minute the only suit he can get is like, bright red and he decides to wear a yellow button up underneath for Gryffindor.

They had their whole separate bachelor parties planned but ended up just leaving and spending time together because they’re literally attached at the hip. (before that they were talking through the mirrors the entire time until Lily and Reg confiscated them). Although they told no one so everyone got super worried that a drunk Sirius and a drunk James got fucking lost the night before their wedding but neither Reg (Sirius’ best man) and Lily (James’ best woman) want to alert the other so they both end up like tipsy searching for their respective groom.

However the day of the wedding would go amazing. like absolutely amazing. there’s not a dry eye in the crowd and everyone’s happy and everything that went “wrong” wasn’t really wrong at all.

Okay your Remus feelings are my Remus feelings, he is definitely a dusty, hairy lollipop 🤣

Yes! I love the absolute chaos of this Prongsfoot wedding! Although I am assigning Remus as their wedding planner lmao because I hate Peter.

(James should absolutely wear the dress though, Sirius would find that very hot tbh)

#imp speaks #i have prongsfoot headcanons in my inbox yay!

Hi!!!

Can you please write about jegulus promising to marry each other when they were young (kids), and they would see each other (+ Sirius) every summer, but one summer the blacks move away? Even 10 years later they still think of each other holding the little rings they promised each other with.

Thanks <3 love ur posts

Summer Lovin' (1/1) (jegulus)

It couldn't be him... could it? James eyes had clocked the soft black curls that plagued his dreams and childhood from across the hall. Then he turned, and James breath hitched. Regulus Black standing quietly, seemingly taking it all in. It was a busy conference hall, and people kept coming over to talk to James. He realized he had suddenly stopped mid-sentence. He didn't have space for anything but Regulus. He actually wasn't sure he was capable of breathing at all.

"Reg!" He called. Not noticing or caring that he nearly yelled in someone's face. And then when those stormy grey eyes--the eyes he desperately wanted to fall asleep to and wake up to and looking into ever moment he was awake--snapped up to meet his. James was moving before the recognition appeared on Regulus' face.

As James moved through the crowd his mind was filled with those summers of his childhood. The summers when he would come home and spend everyday playing with the neighbour kids: with Sirius his best friend. Sirius who was his other half. Sirius who knew everything about him without asking and vice versa. Sirius who he wished could go to his school with him instead of in France.

And of course with Regulus. Regulus the inexplicable light of his light. Regulus the person he looked for everywhere. Regulus who he would rip his own heart out from under his ribs just to prove to him that James was his. Would always be his. Still is his.

He is still moving across the hall, it felt like years to get to Regulus. He sees Regulus move a step toward him, watchful and curious eyes, mouth slightly parted. James' mind was suddenly transported back to one particular summer night:

They were in the back yard, Sirius was inside getting lemonade and had ended up chatting with Effie and Monty. It was nice when that happened because it let James be with Regulus alone. They stole off to sit in the middle of the field that separated their homes. Wild flowers and tall grass blowing gently in the warm breeze around them. The sun starting to set in the distance.

Regulus had pulled a few pieces of grass and was braiding them in intricate circles in his hands. James remembers thinking he was just fidgeting but then Regulus grabbed James' hand, giving it a small squeeze and placed what he now was realizing waa a small braided ring around his finger.

"Promise me," Regulus had whispered, locking eyes with James in that moment. "No matter what, you'll marry me one day," it was a wish and a dream and the only promise James ever desperately wanted to keep. An echo of the promise he made to Regulus at 10 that of course boys could marry other boys. A whisper of the promise James had made to Regulus at 7 that he would always be there to hold his hand if Regulus wanted it.

They were so young, too young really to know what it all meant. Too young to understand the strong pull, the force of the universe that brought them together. James knew Regulus like he knew himself. He knew, even at just 13, that Regulus was his forever. That nothing could keep them apart.

Regulus had kissed him for the first time, the only time, when James had promised yes.

James remembers going back to school and coming home for the holidays to find that the Black family had moved permanently. And James didn't know where too, so he couldn't send any letters.

James has that memory frozen in his mind when he collided with Regulus in the hall. When Regulus is shocked and surprised and holding his face in his hands trying to make sure James is real. It's like no time has passed but they are finally together at the right place and the right time. "Uhmm hi?" James says, "I think I was supposed to marry you but maybe could I... could I take you to dinner first?" And Regulus laughs lightly, hugging James for the first time in years. "Yes, Dinner first marriage second." Regulus says, quietly tapping on a clear locket containing the preserved braided rings from that fateful summer.

Their Daughter

Chapter 5

Author’s note: I use Grammarly to fix my mistakes, but there could still be some so sorry for that. Also, I am getting back into writing and am hoping to have a few more works out soon! Please reblog, like, or comment feedback is appreciated.

Word Count: 4,400

Warnings: None? Sirius being a d*ck? Maybe language, but I don’t think so.

Regulus wasn’t sure how much time had passed as he stroked his niece's hair. He was mad at his brother for basically throwing away the only good thing that had ever come from the Black family. Sirius was too blinded by the past to see what was right in front of him. As children, Sirius often told Regulus that he was their family's favorite and that it bothered him, but if he knew what it was like to be less loved then how can he love Harry more than Ali? He understood that Harry was Sirius's Godson, but couldn’t he love Ali and Harry equally? If Sirius made the effort maybe Ali and the other children could even be friends. His heart ached from the emotional battle that Ali was going through right now. Even if Sirius didn’t see it, he and Remus did. Ali’s light was dimmer than before and when she was lighting up again after finding out Sirius never came for her, Sirius just had to go and snuffed it out.

Carefully sliding out from under Ali and placing a pillow under her head Regulus left the room. He shut the door behind him casting a locking spell so she wouldn’t be bothered. He needed to speak with Remus first before doing anything. They needed to decide what to do about Ali. As much as Regulus wanted to spend time with her before she went back to school he didn’t want her to be this upset anymore. He walked into the study to find Remus and Nymphadora sitting near the fireplace.

“How is she?” Nymphadora blurted the question as soon as she saw her cousin. Remus had owled her after Ali had gone to her room. The older sister in her wanted to go up to Sirius and give him a piece of her mind, but she knew that it wouldn’t do any good.

“She’s asleep for now. All the fighting has exhausted her. I honestly don’t know what to do. I want her here, this is her home, but if Sirius doesn’t stop acting like the brut that he is it is going to hurt her more. Speaking of Sirius, where is he? It’s quiet.” Regulus flopped down on the chair across from Remus and Nymphadora raking a hand through his hair. His worry for Ali was causing him a headache. On one hand, he wanted to send Ali to stay at the Malfoy Manor for the remainder of summer, but on the other, he wanted to hold her close and have her stay in her home where she belonged.

“Sirius left with Harry after you went upstairs. He hasn’t been home since. The Weasleys stepped out to Diagon Alley to get the kids stuff for school.” Remus replied. He was secretly thankful that the house was mainly empty. This way at least Ali could come down if she felt like it without the chance of someone bothering her. Remus was having the same thoughts as Regulus about keeping Ali at home virus's sending her to the Manor. He just wanted his niece to be happy. The hope that he had of Sirius and Ali having the father/daughter relationship was gone. If only Remus could get Sirius to open his eyes to the pain he was causing to the girl, but Sirius was nothing if not stubborn.

“I think I am going to write to Cissa and see if she can keep Ali for the rest of summer. If that’s what it takes for her to be happy then so be it. We can see her off at the -“

“I don’t want to leave,” Ali’s voice interrupted. “I want to stay here with you. Please don’t make me leave. I can handle it, I promise.”

Ali knew that she and Regulus were going to have to talk about the fact that she called him dad, but that was a private conversation. Right now she needed to convince the adults in the room that she didn’t need to leave. She could take Sirius. Yes the words that he had said hurt her and the actions he did tonight furthered that hurt in her heart, but she was done. She didn’t owe him anything, and it was clear she knew that he didn’t want to be her father. She had meant what she said to Regulus. He was her father in all the ways that counted. He loved her unconditionally, was always there for her, and protected her.

She went and sat on the couch in between Nymphadora and Remus who wrapped an arm around her pulling her close to his chest. “It might be best if you went and stayed for the rest of the summer at the Manor, Al. This isn’t good for you mentally. We all can see how drained you are.”

“No, this is my home. I can handle it. I have you all plus the older Weasleys and Fleur. You'll protect me and if I need to get away for a little bit I’ll owl Blaise or Draco to go to Diagon Alley or something. I want to spend time with you. Times are hard right now and you never know when you are going to lose someone and I would like to have as much time with each of you just in case.”

Regulus leaned forward taking Ali’s hand in his, “Nothing, and I mean nothing is going to happen to us. I love you more than you could ever imagine and if you want to stay here you can.” Ali smiles brightly at that before Regulus cut her off, “but you have to tell me, Remus, or Severus, if anything happens. And you have to come out of your room. I am not having you locking yourself away again. Got it?”

Ali pounced on Regulus, hugging his neck tight. She was excited to spend some more time with her family. She had meant what she said about never knowing when something was going to happen. Wizards had been disappearing all over London and she was genuinely scared something was going to happen to her loved ones. She was going to make it a point to take plenty of photos and make enough memories to last a lifetime the next couple of weeks.

Regulus held his niece tight, fighting back the tears when she whispered, “Thanks, Dad,” into his ear. He had been called a lot of things in his life, but this was one title he was going to wear proudly.

Remus’s voice interrupted the moment, “wait for a second, why are you going to owl Blaise? We have an agreement, young lady, no boys till you're thirty!”

Ali’s giggle was music to those in the room with her, and for the first time that summer they all saw Ali smile at home the brightest she had since everyone arrived.

————

The rest of the day was eventful which was something that everyone was thankful for. Nymphadora left shortly after spending some time with Ali since she had something to attend to with Moody, so that left Regulus, Ali, and Remus to watch the Star Wars movies in Ali’s room. Kreacher brought them snacks while they made a fort on the floor. Ali was incredibly content laying on the mounds of pillows in between her Uncles. When she was younger they would have movie nights like this once a month until she started Hogwarts. Even then she and her friends carried on the tradition in the boy's dorm since Draco was often present at the ones hosted at home. She wished that she could have Draco over now, but knew that if she brought him here then everyone in the house would throw a fit about it, maybe it was something to bring up to Regulus later.

Molly called them all down for dinner shortly after the second film ended. Leaving the mess on the floor the trio made their way downstairs with Ali trailing behind her Uncles. She could feel her nerves spike the closer she got to the dining room. She thought about excusing herself stating she wasn’t hungry, but the loud growl in her stomach gave her hunger away. Everyone had already sat down beside Harry and Sirius when they got into the room. Regulus pulled the seat out next to him for his niece. Fleur shot her a smile when she sat down by her uncle with Charlie on her other side. At least she was sitting near someone who didn’t hate her.

Chatter and the sounds of forks on plates filled the room as everyone got their fill of Molly’s meatballs and onion sauce. Everyone broke off into separate conversations. Remus, Regulus, and Arthur talking about the Ministry, the younger Weasleys, and Hermione talking about Quidditch, Bill and Fleur about their upcoming wedding, and Charlie and Ali talking about his work in Romania. “What are you planning on doing after you leave Hogwarts?”

Ali shot a glance over at Remus who was doing a terrible job of disguising his eavesdropping on the duo. “I am thinking about becoming a professor. I like creatures obviously so I was thinking something along those lines, but I also like Herbology. So maybe that. I just know I want to teach.”

Charlie shot her a grin. “Have you thought about where? I know Hogwarts has Sprout for Herbology and Hagrid was doing Care of Magical Creatures, but you still have three more years of school so maybe they’ll need someone by the time you're done.”

Ali shrugged her shoulders. In all honesty, she wanted to leave England and travel for a bit but knew that if she brought it up now it would be a fight or something so she bit her tongue. “Maybe.”

The noise came to a halt when the door slammed open in the living room. Everyone hopped to their feet, wands at the ready. It felt like hours had passed before the intruder walked through the door. “Sirius! Harry! Merlin, you scared us all.”

“Sorry, it’s raining hard and we were in a rush to get back home.” Sirius shrugged like it wasn’t a big deal. Everyone retook their seats beside Milly who served Harry and Sirius. Ali tried her hardest to keep from looking at the latest duo that entered, not wanting to cause any more trouble or to give Sirius a reason to lash out at her.

Dinner passed rather quickly, conversations flowed in their small groups. Charlie had gone with Fleur and Bill on a scouting mission shortly after eating, while Fred and George worked on new products for their shop. Ali was in her head thinking about asking to go to meet Pansy in the coming days to look at a new book shop. Pansy wasn’t much of a reader but was always looking for an excuse to get out of her house. She was startled when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Looking up Molly was smiling softly at her while handing her a letter in a dark blue envelope. She instantly knew who the letter was from since only one person used that kind of envelope when writing her.

“This came for you, dear, when you were with your uncles. I didn't want to bother you then I almost forgot just now.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Weasley.” Ali smiled at the kind woman. Despite her feelings towards most of the Weasley children, their parents were quite nice.

Molly patted her cheek before walking off. Ali started to rip the top off when she got Regulus’s eye and he winked at her. He knew who the letter was from having met the boy a few times already. Her cheeks flushed and continued to do so while reading it.

Dear Supernova,

I hope you are surviving the dreadfulness that is upon you right now with all the people in your house. Yes, Draco told me what was going on yesterday when I finally threatened to out his crush if he didn’t explain why we hadn’t been seeing you a lot this summer. I have to say I am quite hurt that you didn’t tell me yourself. Best friends I thought. Just joking, but seriously you could have told me about him and I wouldn't have said a word to anyone.

I miss you, Supernova. We’ve only got to see each other once this summer and we both know when school starts you will have a book shoved in front of your face in the first three minutes. Could we get together sometime this week? It has been awful at home and if I have to hear Draco's voice one more time without you there to tell him off for being annoying I may throw myself off the astronomy tower.

Your uncle may not agree, but you could come to stay at mine for a night. Mother agreed to it as long as Regulus does and we have separate rooms. If you can't, maybe I can come to you? I don’t really care what the redheads have to say about me being there so don’t worry about that. We have much to catch up on; like the fact that you got Headgirl and also didn’t write and tell me. I had to find that little tidbit out from Parkinson's. Don’t worry we’ll catch up whether that's soon or on the train.

love,

Zabini

Ali felt a pang of guilt hit her square in the chest. She hadn’t meant to forget to fill Blaise in on her life but it had been so crazy recently she hadn’t got to write anyone much. In all the truth no one knew that she had gotten Headgirl. She had gotten the letter from Flitwich a few days after the Weasley’s arrived and completely forgot. Although she told her Uncles she didn’t want to go anywhere spending some time with Blaise sounded nice. Deciding to just rip the bandaid off she looked up to find Regulus and Remus looking at her with amused smiles on their faces.

“What’s you got there, Ali?” Remus asked, causing her cheeks to flame red. She wasn’t scared to say that she wanted to hang out with a boy. She did it all the time whether it was Blaise, Theo, or Draco; it was more to do with the fact that she was about to ask to spend the night at a boys' house. Even if they were going to be in separate rooms and they had fallen asleep cuddled together weeks prior at the Malfoys, something none of her Uncles knew, it was going to be a little fight to get Remus to agree as he made the ‘no dating till you’re thirty’ rule when she was five and asked for a boyfriend for Christmas.

Looking around she noticed all attention was on her even if the other adults in the room were making it seem like they weren’t listening while the children openly gawked. “Uhm,” she was cut off by Severus stepping into the room. Great, now she had to face all three Uncles. Where were Dora and Cissa when she needed them?

Severus hugged her quickly before taking a place by Regulus. “Who's the letter from Ali?” He asked her letting her know there was no getting out of it and that she was going to have to spill the beans.

“It’s from Blaise,” A look of amusement passed Regulus’s face, making her think that he knew what was in the letter already while Remus looked like he was going to snatch the letter out of her hands and read it himself if she didn’t hurry up.

“And what possibly could it say to have your cheeks looking like the inside of Gryffindor common room?” Regulus teased further.

She coughed trying to get her nerves resealed. “He was saying that we need to catch up before school starts, and invited me to come and stay with him and Mrs. Zabini for a night this week.”

Remus grunted while Regulus smiled. Ali had to hide a giggle as she noticed all the other mouths in the room had dropped to the floor. Ali knew that except for Hermione and Harry the Weasley’s never stayed or had anyone else with them.

“Can I, please? His mother said we would have separate rooms and she will be there as well as the house-elves. We only got to see one another once this summer. He said if I can’t he could come here, but honestly, I think the first option is better. Please?” She pulled out her best puppy eyes and pouty lip. She was not above begging for it but didn’t want to do so with everyone staring at her.

Regulus looked over at Remus. Ali could see the silent conversation going on between them. Regulus’s head inclined slightly toward Ali which she hoped to Merlin was a good thing. Remus looked back at his niece with a look in his eye she couldn’t read. “Rosalynn said you’ll have separate rooms?” Ali nodded her head so fast she almost gave herself whiplash. “And you’ll stay in them?” Once again she nodded, although she knew that they more than likely would be in the family room till late hours in the night. He looked back at Regulus, “you have no problems with her going?”

“No, I already knew about it. Rosalynn wrote about two days ago. If she wants to go, that's fine. You know Rosalynn will look after her as she does Blaise. And the Heavens know that boy would jump in front of the Knight Bus for Ali.” Regulus chuckled at Ali's shocked expression.

“Y-you knew? Why didn’t you say anything?” Ali struggled to get the words out.

“Rosalynn said Blaise wanted to ask you. She was just giving me a heads up, knowing how Remus is with boys and you. You know we talked quite often, Als.” Regulus winked at her.

“You may go,” Remus stated. She was shocked she didn’t have to put up more of a fight.

“WHAT?” Sirius shrieked. He knew that Regulus would let her go to the Death Eaters house, but Remus? He thought he could count on his ‘friend’ to at least say no. “You’re letting her go to the Death Eaters house? AGAIN? Who's also a boy and staying the night? Are you mad?”

Remus looked at Sirius with disdain, “No I am not. She is a good girl and Blaise has been her friend for years. Rosalynn loves her as much as we do and would never let anything happen. And for God's sake quit calling everyone a Death Eater.”

“Outrageous.”

“Sirius, you have no say in what she does. You gave that up last night. Ali is a good girl who makes good choices. Not only that but she also deserves a little something since she got Headgirl this year, don’t you think?” Regulus smirked as he saw the Granger girl's face fall.

“You got Headgirl?” Hermione whispered to Ali with disbelief lacing her voice.

“Yeah, I did. Draco got Headboy I believe, but it may be Theo. I haven’t asked yet.”

“Why do you and Draco get Head of Houses? Why not Hermione and -“ Ali cut her dear Godbrother off.

“And who? You? Ron? Why would any of you get Head of Houses with all the trouble you bring in? Sneaking out, stealing things, picking fights. We do have the highest marks in most classes as well as treat others equally unlike the likes of you.”

If looks could kill Ali would be dead three times over. In all honesty, she kinda felt bad for the younger Weasley boy seeing as all of his older brothers, bar Fred and George had been Headboy. But then she thought about the trouble he and his friends had caused her and her friends as well as others over the years. Harry preached about equality among the houses but she had witnessed many times when younger Slytherins were picked on by Gryiffndors. Hufflepuffs generally didn't have any problems with the other houses so long as everyone was being just. Ravenclaws tended to keep to themselves unless it really involved them. Whereas Slytherins preferred to stand up to those picking on other Slytherins especially the younger ones. Slytherins were always made out to be the bullies when in general if you got to know them people would notice that they are a lot more than what their parents used to be.

Ally had heard the stories of how mean James and Sirius were to those in Slytherin even if they never did anything to them. She believed in harmless fun could be had pulling pranks, but tricking someone into going to a place where a werewolf was was downright cruel. She had no doubts in her mind that James and Sirius were once good people like her Uncle Remus is now, but seeing as Sirius still acts like a child those doubts were becoming known.

“I just think that Slytherins shouldn’t be Head of House when all you will do is favor your own, and treat everyone else like dirt,” Ron stated.

“Ronald Weasley! How dare you say such a thing?!” Molly exclaimed.

“It’s alright Mrs. Weasey. I am used to hearing such things come from them and others in their house,” Ali looked Ron in the eyes, “You seem to forget that I’m a Ravenclaw, not a Slytherin. I do not favor anyone and will not when I start Head Girl duties but know this. I will give you as many detentions as you deserve if you are caught bullying, harassing, belittling, any of the other houses. You may think that Gryiffndors are the bravest of the houses and maybe you are in some ways, but you are cowardly in others. Maybe some Slytherins are as bad as you make them seem, but Harry,” she turned her head slightly to the side, “you seem to forget just which house Peter Pettigrew was in when he was the one who betrayed your parents. And Regulus was in Slytherin but seems to be more loyal to his friends and family than that rat was.”

“It seems that Alianova has given you all something to think about as you're getting ready for bed,” Molly stated looking at all the children present in the room. Her face grew red when she saw that none of them had moved a muscle. “Now.”

Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny, jumped from their seats and booked it to the stairs scared of Mrs. Weasley’s wrath. At some point, Charlie, Fluer, and Bill came back from scouting. Charlie ruffled Ali’s hair causing her to grin. “Good job, kid. You’ll make a great Head Girl.” Bill and Fleur nodded in agreement. “Nothing happened while we were out. We’ll give a full debrief tomorrow, but we will be heading to bed as well. Good night everyone.”

Molly walked to Ali and pulled her up out of her chair before placing both hands on Ali’s pale cheeks. “Don’t you worry, dear, I will be talking with all of them in the morning. You made a lot of valid points, and I for one am proud that you are Head Girl.”

She kissed her forehead before taking her husband to go to bed after waving her wand to get the kitchen clean once again. Arthur offered Ali a small smile before disappearing behind his wife. Sirius scoffed at the behavior which everyone heard but chose to ignore.

Ali turned to her three Uncles, waiting for the answer about going to her friends, and the scene that just played out in the kitchen.

“I am proud of you as well, Alianova. You have done excellent, and I know it is Remus and Regulus' decision about going to Blaises’, but I see no problem with it. I will stay in the guest room. Come get me if you need me. Good night, Ali.” He hugged her tightly, making Ali tear up slightly at the thought of Servus being proud of her. It also made her giddy at the thought of rubbing it in Draco’s face since Severus is his Godfather and never said such a thing to him.

Remus followed after Servus, wrapping his niece in a bear hug around her shoulders. The height difference amusing Regulus to no end seeing as Ali only came about midway in Remus’s chest. “You may go as long as it’s okay with Reg, and you stay in separate rooms. I am a little mad though that you didn’t tell me yourself about getting Head Girl, but I am still incredibly proud of you. No one deserves this more than you do, not even Harry.” The last part was whispered in her ear. He kissed her forehead, before heading to his room.

With the three Blacks being the only ones left in the room. “I don’t think you should go.” Sirius’s voice was venomous as he thought about his only child, his legacy, spending time with Death Eaters.

“It’s a good thing it doesn’t matter what you think isn’t it?” Regulus smirked at his older brother. He was not going to take this away from his child. “Ali, you may go so long as you stay in your separate rooms whenever the two of you decide to go to sleep because I know from having all your mates over it will be late.” He walked to Ali cradling her freckled face in his hands. “I am so proud to call you my daughter. Even after all that you have been through in your life you have still managed to form your own beliefs and thoughts as well as stand up for them. You deserve Head Girl over anyone else, and hopefully, you get to share it with one of your friends.”

Ali dove into her Uncle's chest. Tears welling up into her eyes at the thought that he really did think of her as his own even if she already knew it. It was nice to hear out loud. “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me. I love you, dad.” She kissed his cheek before heading to her room to write Blaise.

Sirius felt his anger sore to new heights when he heard Ali call Regulus dad. He had enough courtesy to wait till she was out of earshot before grounding out, “We need to talk, Regulus.”

Hi Eve!!! I saw the headcanon list you did for Loops and Talker's friendship and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! I was wondering if you could please do something similar for Loops and Lily? I wasn't sure if you'd already written something like this though. Thank you in advance :)

Yeah, sure thing! Their friendship makes me so happy.

TW for canon injuries, events

- If Talker is Remus’ older brother, then Lily is his twin

- She was his first friend in Gryff; the moment they met, both thought “this is my Person” and never looked back

- One of the only things Lily regrets about going into labor while Sirius was in the hospital is that Remus couldn’t be there afterwards

- She and James agreed that Remus would be their next kid’s godfather

- They get into staring contests over the most minor competitions and it’s genuinely spooky because they’re there to win

- Both are fairly laid-back most of the time, but if they’re on opposite teams for a game, it’s best to just stay out of the way and let them go off

- Lily sucks at skating and Remus roasts her all the time

- Remus sucks at dancing and Lily never lets him hear the end of it

- She trusts him implicitly with Harry

- They refer to each other as “my sister/ brother” when strangers ask because it’s easier than “well they’re my best friend but our husbands are basically brothers so we’re in-laws. Technically. Not really.”

- Lily hugs are the best hugs, in Remus’ opinion. She doesn’t give them out a lot as a rule, but she greets him with one every time they see each other

- She never gave Sirius the “shovel talk” when he and Remus got together because she honestly couldn’t think of a better partner for him

- (That’s why she was so horrified and hurt when Sirius left after the airport)

- Speaking of, Lily stayed with Remus while James went to Sirius house; she was the one who called his parents to let them know what was going on, and she stayed and held him until she fell asleep

- They get along with Regulus like a house on fire once he warms up to them a bit and they’re unstoppable on trivia nights

- Hope and Lyall think Lily is the best thing since sliced bread and always ask when she’s coming to visit

- They hang out all the time and the media kept saying they were dating until James had to go “no, they were just separated at birth and also best friends can chill together without dating”

- Lily likes napping on top of Remus because he has broad shoulders, and he loves having her there because she’s so soft and cozy

- They are the monarchs of sarcasm and the single eyebrow raise

- Lily told him she was pregnant by putting a hamburger bun in her oven because she was too nervous to say the words out loud; when Remus is signed to the Lions, he leaves a Lupin jersey in her oven

- For every ounce that Remus hates being picked up by anyone other than Sirius, Lily loves it. She makes him cart her around on his back at least once a week

- New rookies always get attached to them because they’re friendly and kind and quieter than the rest of the team, but anyone who has been there longer than a year or so knows how chaotic they are when left alone

- They just Get each other in a unique way; sometimes people wonder whether Lily and Remus or James and Sirius were friends first

What are some of your scenarios to fall asleep to? 👀

Ahhhh I’m glad you asked !! Also please feel free to share some of yours they can be specific or vague idc I’m in desperate need

I will be going into heavy detail because I can’t help myself I’m sorry and I will put in both normal ones and Harry Potter ones

Also this is just like one big ramble I’m sorry I got too excited I literally turned into that Tik tok sound where it’s like ‘you’re asking me about my theories? I’ve waited years for someone to ask me about my theories’

Update - I think I’m just going to keep updating this as well when I think of new ones because I keep forgetting some

My most recent one is a royalty one where they’re like royalty but in their really prestigious and royal school they were academic rivals and did not get along and after school they like try to go their separate ways until a couple years later their parents force them into an arranged marriage for like the good of the country or whatever I don’t really care!! You can take it wherever you want from there but in case you were interested in mine he fell for her first and kinda gave up on the enemies thing pretty early on but she still made it clear he wasn’t her favourite person and she despised the situation and there is still constant teasing until she meets his sister or friend or whoever who says that they can’t believe how happy he is with them and she feels so bad because she thinks he deserves better and ends up being much meaner to him because she’s an idiot who can’t express her emotions and he gets angry at her because she’s being super mean after they were just starting to get along and they have a big argument and are forced to talk about their feelings and then I can never decide whether they actually like each other when they get married, I feel like either way is fun

I have a thing for royalty so my other one is literally just princess x stable boy and you can honestly take that wherever you want but I will tell you where I took it for some ✨inspiration✨ so I don’t have my drivers license and get really bad driving anxiety so I self projected and made her terrified of riding horses right (I’m so smart I know) and he is like trying to help her ride the horse and feel comfortable and like obviously they end up in love but I created drama because she sneaks out to his birthday party (!!) but his friends don’t like her because they just think she’ll be a snob but he obviously defends her but like it’s a perfect opportunity for a bit of an innocent princess as well

My personal favourite is the two co stars falling in love and like thinking about doing all those stupid interviews from like buzzfeed and all that and I personally love the trying foods from different places thing (like making them try fairy bread - because I’m from Australia and we aren’t that cultured and being mad when they don’t like it because it is my favourite food) and it’s great because i can make the guy any actor I am currently obsessed with 😭 but also like the red carpet opportunities and interviews and fan reactions and it’s very fun also this keeps my brain very busy because I like making it as realistic as possible and figuring out the actors timeline so I can match the story up with it, it’s always really intense, also if you want inspiration for what moving they’re staring in I always go for the live action version of tangled even if I don’t look anything like rapunzel

Another fun one is where one of them is in a band and you have a friend who is dating one of the other members but you don’t like the band and you’re not shy in letting the other members know that and it turns into an enemies to lovers thing but I haven’t really developed it because halfway through I ended up changing it with the fact that they befriend one of the members and like fall for them but the band member like ‘gets around’ and it makes them jealous until they drunkingly confess it made them jealous this one’s a bit of a mess and is tipping into a 2012 wattpad story but it was how I got back into my 5sos phase two years ago because I felt icky about them but I’m still a slut for Calum 😭

Another one I love is moving abroad to study or whatever (idk I just always need a reason to be in America/Uk because there’s no one here in australia) and you make friends with someone who turns out to be related to someone really famous (insert whoever you want) and you meet them and you think they’re the hottest person you’ve ever seen and you get drunk to gain confidence to talk to them and you’re like unashamedly flirting with them and they think it’s cute and you’re funny but the whole little plot twist is that you don’t know they’re famous (famous people love that, trust me, I have about 10 wattpad stories in my library that can prove this) !! And the don’t believe you don’t know they’re famous !! Anyways I took it in a sugar daddy direction but each to their own!

Specifically for Harry Potter though, you ask?

Currently I am obsessed with Regulus Black and for about the past two weeks I’ve been obsessed with the idea of James potter sibling x regulus black enemies to lovers story and then about a week ago I found an actually good wattpad story about it?!?! (I have recommended it here with warnings but I really encourage you to read it if you’re not a minor) but you can also do your own version because I am still doing my own version and will continue to do my own version tonight even if I am obsessed with the wattpad one !! Currently I am up to post Hogwarts and her and regulus are trying to defeat Voldemort and regulus tells her that Peter is going to betray James and so ofc she tells James but James is like ‘how to do you even know this??’ And he is so afraid and gets angry at her and it’s really dramatic and she tells him she’s dating regulus and then he gets super mad at her because she’s dating like one of the most well known and loyal death eaters (even if regulus is sneakily trying to destroy Voldemort) and because he didn’t tell her and it’s very dramatic

My favourite Sirius black idea is also a James potters sibling one, but I never have any good ideas for it and just end up self projecting so if anyone has any ideas, I am begging you, please tell me !!!

My other Sirius black one is one I’ve been working on for like the last 4 years of my life and I probably should write it but who knows, but basically it’s a 10 things I hate about you x Harry Potter story where reader is about a year or so older than the marauders and she is like Kat Stratford (for people who haven’t watched it the best way to describe her is just an angry early 2000s feminist who is like anti dating and fun (kinda)) but she is Lily Evans sister!! And so Lily gets fed up of James constantly asking her out and makes an offhand comment that she’ll date him when her sister goes on a date with someone and James is like really?!? And Lily is like ‘sure’ because she knows her sister will never date anyone at Hogwarts so James tells the marauders and Remus is like ‘if anyone can take her on a date, it’s Sirius’ and Sirius is like ‘no, I’m stupid but not that stupid’ and James is like ‘please I’ll pay you’ and Sirius is easily bribed so he tries to get her to go on a date with him and like she doesn’t until she does and then finds out he only did it because James paid him but then they fall in love? Basically just 10 things I hate about you lol

My next one is with Draco Malfoy and all it is is that reader comes from a pure blood family and they’ve known each other since they were babies and it’s like basically destined they get married but she gets like really upset when he gets the mark which makes for a good cuddling and crying scene and like idk people are probably more creative than me but I just like reimagining scenes from hp but with this new character so like Poa when she gets angry at him about buckbeak or the bathroom scene (maybe she duels Harry?) and she’s so upset about Draco and comforts him, or helping him in sixth year and comforting him or the quidditch scene in the fifth book (weird note, but I’ve always headcannoned that my original character finds out about dumbledores army but doesn’t say anything and like the da knows she knows but she doesn’t tell Draco or maybe Draco finds out and gets angry at her?)

My other one is another Draco malfoy one where James and Lily live and she’s Harry’s younger sister (and Voldemort isn’t a thing) but like there’s still stereotypes and beliefs and such and like it’s obviously enemies to lovers and maybe they get prefect duties together ? (I am a sucker for this trope in Harry Potter) but then when they do date they try to hide it but Harry finds out but doesn’t say anything until they get into a fight at home and he is like ‘well at least I’m not fucking Draco malfoy behind everyone’s back) (in my head they aren’t fucking because they’re still in Hogwarts but you get the idea) and James and Lily are just like ‘WHAT?!’ Like idk I just think it’s funny imagining James and Lily finding out their kid is dating Draco and Lucius and narcissus finding out Draco is dating a potter - so many possibilities!

Update 6.10.21

I also have one for Charlie Weasley !! And basically you’re friends with the twins and like you go your whole Hogwarts life with the biggest crush on Charlie but like he low key doesn’t even know who you are and you want to become a healer and then after Hogwarts there is a position in Romania and you take it because you know Charlie’s there and at first he is like hmmm I think I know you and you explain you’re friends with the twins and obviously he falls in love with you I also took it in a nsfw direction where it’s like major innocence kink because Charlie is just such a dom to me and he like teaches you everything but he makes sure you’re happy and safe and it’s not really like serious sex you’re both just having fun and he kinda introduces you to dom/sub dynamics but you can do whatever is most comfortable

#I’m probably going to regret posting this #it’s a mess #but let me know if you do actually use any of them and how you change the story #and please feel free to share some of yours because I am running out of scenarios 😭😭#scenarios
