The Eyes, They Never Lie

James is not a deadbeat dad: I hate when people say that

"Dumbledore had to take his invisibility cloak because he was going out so much," No. Dumbledore borrowed James' cloak so he could research it, he asked to borrow it, and James let him.

"He leaves to go on motorbike rides with Sirius, leaving Lily and harry alone" Also, no. That was a prequel for a reason. It took place three years before Harry's birth and when James was still in Hogwarts, maybe not even dating Lily yet. And even if he was dating Lily, he can still go out because he wasn't in hiding yet.

"He forgot his wand on the couch" Key word. Forgot. He wasn't in a life or death situation, it was just pure death. He voluntarily risked his life to give Lily time to go up those stairs, knowing he'd die. He told Lily to take Harry without him. If you're going to say James is an idiot for forgetting his wand, don't forget, Lily had no wand upon her either. James was scared and clearly had no time to get his wand because one distraction could've made Voldemort pass him.

Harry and Ginny are gazing into each other's eyes

Alright, I was planning to post a holiday-themed question today, but I forgot it's Christmas Eve tonight😭

also if you’d like to read some gossip marauders au @genderfluidluna it’s currently working on a gossip girl au and it’s really good!

you should write a marauders (blackinnon) fic set in a Bridgerton-like setting! (high society, marriage mart, gossip column!). I looove ur writings❣️

omg thank u!! 💗

that’s sounds interesting but i fear i would struggle a lot with time period accuracy in terms of language, common phrases and things like that (not that i would mind that much re-reading some classic in english to immerse myself in it).

you have for sure given me something to think about!

casual reminder that sirius black’s last words to his godson were “harry, take the prophecy, grab neville and run!”.

it’s not mistaking harry for james, as the movies showed. and the last words he ever uttered were a taunt, daring bellatrix to do better.

in the heat of the battle, sirius ensured harry and neville were well out of the line of fire before jumping into the fray himself—he died knowing he’s kept harry safe until the very end as best as he could.

don’t get me wrong, i’m 100% sure orion defended his wife with claws and teeth, specially when it was sirius the one fighting her.

i imagine sirius rebellious strike reminded walburga too much of herself so she was definitely worried how he would turn up. and because of that they bickered often. and while sirius also picked up fights with his dad, orion didn’t react as badly unless he felt sirius had gone too far with walburga.

he might not thought it as: that’s my wife you’re disrespecting, boy, but more importantly that’s YOUR MOTHER.

orion understood the sacrifices walburga made for the sake of her family and while he accepted with dignity the fact that she might never love him, he did protect her (not that she really needed it).

that’s the reason walburga don’t mind that much, cause he’s present in all the ways she needs him to be.

and that’s why when and if ever he is unfaithful, he goes out of his way to pick a witch outside their circles. but with druella is personal, it’s has to do more with himself than with her wife.

just in general i think that however wrong and misguided their actions might be, pure blood families, especially old ones like the blacks and malfoys, valued their families above anything else.

there’s a reason they got to be MOST ANCIENT but also, there’s a reason the family finally crumbled.

(we all know if sirius had survived he either wouldn’t have had kids or would’ve done MUCH MUCH MUCH differently).

i think walburga wouldn’t care for orion being unfaithful as long as 1) he was discreet about it and 2) he didn’t get involve with anyone near her circle. after all, their marriage isn’t rooted in love.

problem is, orion and cygnuss have been feuding ever since they were kids (orion is closer to him in age than walburga) and finally he decided to start an affair with druella, who happens to be not only is his cousin’s wife but also the one woman walburga despises the most (she never wanted for her to marry his brother).

meanwhile alphard knows all this is happening and stays as far away as possible from all the drama, cause even if he tells his sister, she would find a way to blame him somehow, shot the messenger and all that.

marauders band au / blackinnon

mary mcdonald (supermodel): she [marlene] came back after a trip home and couldn’t stop talking about this boy. she talked about him like he was some sort of comet, a once in a lifetime encounter. i didn’t know him at the time and thought she was talking nonsense. you know? the kinda crap you say when you’re heels over head for someone before you realize they’re as shitty at the rest of them. i mean, who could’ve been more of a trailblazer than her? a year later i met him. it clicked then. he didn’t have eyes for anyone else. even after they got famous, after all the fame and the groupies and the after party’s. if you want to believe the tabloids at the time just know this: sex sells. and no one sold sex better than sirius black. but his heart… it belonged only to her.

OMG BLEUR! There’s a really good fic called The Cursebreaker’s Wife that not only follows their story but also fills the gaps during OotP, highly recommend 💓

Romione and Remadora are the hottest canon couples.

🐠

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

“Bien à vous, Toujours” 🌟
