Marauders era characters as thing my friends have said part 20

Sirius: one day we’ll go skydiving

Remus: nope!

Sirius: ok one day I’ll trick you into going on a plane with me and push you out

Remus: oh!

I think what I love about gilderat is how complex it could be. Imagine the marauders, absolutely despising gilderoy for how stuck up and stubborn he is (not Like there any different). But then there was Peter, less stuck up and stubborn than the other marauders and also absolutely obsessed with gilderoy. He never expressed these feeling to anyone and he was good at hiding it, until gilderoy was moved into Peter’s class because of reasons he was paying attention to. Slughorn paired gilderoy with Peter claiming “you will do better with him rather than mucking around with all your dumb friends,” so Peter reluctantly agreed.

Over the next year Peter would absolutely despise gilderoy for being smarter than him and absolutely despise how attractive he was. So when it was late and they were Together in the potions classroom, Peter was very ready to go back to his dorm and sleep. That was until gilderoy practically pounced on Peter, there lips interlocking and Peter didn’t complain. Instead gilderoys hand pulled frantically at Peter’s hair and Peter pulling on gilderoys waistint, wanting him closer.

And they kept it a secret, for a while atleast. But they never dated, atleast that was gilderoy said, and yes there was the whole cologne thing, Peter would ask but never get an answer. And yes Peter also asked why they couldn’t date, because he loved the sneaking around in broom closets and empty classroom, once even in the dorms at a gryffindor party. But gilderoy would play it into the fact that he was “straight”

So they kept it a secret, for a while atleast. That was until Peter had enough, he confessed how he actually felt about gilderoy and gilderoy never spoke to him again. James knew soemthing was wrong with Peter so that how the secret “got out” only to James of course and he never even made fun of Peter for it.

Gilderoy however, did like Peter. He was just scared that Peter was lying to him. Peter pettigrew the weird kid that was roped into the “popular crowd”, he must be secretly and arsehole waiting to put gilderoy to the entire school, or just using him for to get off.

In a letter sent to Peter after they graduated, it included the name of a perfume and an apology. Peter knew who it was from immediately, but he never accepted the apology

Marauders era characters as things my friends have said part 27 maybe

Remus: I think the Virgin Mary is in the trees

Sirius: should’ve gone to spec savers

Remus: I hate you

James: I have spare glasses, and a strong prescription

Remus: fuck you I have 20/20 vision

Remus: BUT THE VIRGIN MARY IS GENUINELY IN THE TREES!

james: you need to stand up for yourself, regulus!

barty: this iron deficient bitch will fall to the ground if he stands up

What's the point if ur ship isn't fucking against the canon with ao3 as lube

I do love grumpy Regulus who hates James on sight. He holds a petty, childhood grudge against him because he blames him for everything from Sirius's sorting to Sirius's leaving.

I also love Regulus who sees James and is immediately down bad. He looks at him, "Raw. Next Question." Regulus, who thinks all of his problems could be solved by getting dicked down by this man. (He is correct)

Marauders era characters as things my friends have said part 28

Lily: I DONT KNOW HOW IM GONNA DO MY HAIR FOR PHOTO DAY!

Remus: I’ve just come to terms with my hair being shit

Sirius (lovingly): I wish I had you hair

Marlene: Remus, detach it like a Lego character and give it to Sirius

James was actually really good at singing, he just never showed it because he thought it was embarrassing. The only person who ever heard him sing was regulus, completely by accident of course. Regulus was a bit late to meeting James at the astronomy tower one night, James decided to take the time alone to sing aloud a song he had stuck in his head (he always had something stuck in his head). Regulus was mesmerised by the sound and ended up being later than he expected, just because he was standing listening to James sing. James from then on would sing to regulus, whether he was having a panic attack or just sitting together and regulus asks, James would sing for him.

After they broke up, regulus found himself mumbling songs that meant something to him and james. James however, never sang again.

We as a fandom don't explore the idea of the marauder's bullying Sirius for being French as much as we need to
