you now what i hate the fact that all these people keep posting about remus being annoyed with sirius being an attention whore but let me tell you remus would absolutely smother sirius in attention. like remus motherfucking lupin will see a boy with shit childhood who didn’t get any kind of affection throughout his life and you’re telling me he wouldn’t just hug him out of the blue? tell him that he loves him? offers him his chocolate when he thinks his boyfriends mood is off? you guys think he out of all people wouldn’t understand trauma.
Dark Remus. Remus who turned to Regulus after the prank. Becoming a master at card games and taking shots. Remus sneaking out after dark with Evan and Barty. Remus switching his jumpers for blazers. The whole of Slytherin remember that one party where Remus punched Snape, liquor in one hand, Regulus’ eyeliner, blood on his knuckles. Barty teaching him guitar. Dorcas letting him borrow her guitar. Chipped black nail polish. Smirks over breakfast, dark laughter during lessons. Pranks they get away with. Remus and Regulus flirting shamelessly while doing homework, stares as he walked in corridors. Putting Lily’s concealer in the bin, letting the light see his scars. Remus embracing the monster inside him as he lives amongst them:
"fuck you my child is completely fine" your child reads fanfiction about gay wizards from the 70's and not only that but cries over them AND relates to them
imagine james surviving and growing old, having smile lines and still too bright eyes and telling harry all about his first love, telling tales of a boy named after a star not many see, of a boy who held his hand and sang songs in french in the dead of night, of a boy who smiled and stole his heartbeat, that one day began to match his lovers, of a boy who’s star shone a bit brighter the year he turned 19, of a boy he never stopped loving, a boy he never will.
Harry: Padfoot, do you know who's that handsome, blond boy? Sirius: Narcissa's and Lucius's son. Why? Wait! Did you say he's handsome? Harry: Oh, so you know his parents? Do you know him? Can you introduce us? Please! Sirius: NO! HE'S A MALFOY! Remus: And you're a Black and I'm still putting up with you

jegulily are nerds. huge, giant, nerds. but in very different ways.
lily is a nerd in the sense she spends most of her time in the library, planning her career and studying for classes, obsessing over fictional books, playing chess, reading lord of the rings a million times, practices potion making for fun and likes to make the same potion over and over, gets excited over quidditch stats and making types of plays but finds watching the actual game boring
regulus is a nerd in the sense he obsesses over classical music and relentlessly learns compositions, secretly loves classic romance books and uses them to work out how to socialise, spends all his time studying or on independent projects usually related to something in one of his classes, was ojce given a cigarette and his first thought was to dissect it open
james is a nerd in the sense he obsessively watched star wars over and over and then brought every piece of merch he could find, always gets top marks in everything, willingly reads extremely high level transfiguration books for fun all the time, spends all day working out quidditch stats, and had a map making phase as a kid (which he still has)
Sirius when he catches James and Regulus going at it for the third time this week:
how to make your sister shut up when she’s being annoying, by reggie black
S: remember, kids
S: in this world, you’re either a bitch or a pussy
S: and i know damn well which one i’d rather be
R: she did not-
R: i’m fucking your best friend.
S: andyouhavemyfullsupport-
R: sorry, i didn’t quite catch that. need me to repeat myself?
step one: date her bestie
step two: bring it up whenever she’s being annoying.
works like a charm.
James: Mom… Dad…
James: Regulus and I are dating
Fleamont: It’s Regulus and I not- holy shit you got it right
Fleamont, after a pause: Holy shit you’re dating Regulus
