283. At some point James Potter and Sirius Black found all of James’ old glasses from throughout his life and placed every single one of them on James’ face, all 12 of them, and wore them to transfiguration.

Mcgonagall was so done with their antics by then that she didnt even realise and just continued teaching the lesson as if nothing was amiss.

FOREVER WINTER BY TAYLOR SWIFT IS ABOUT REMUS LUPIN. YOU CANNOT HANGE MY MIND. WILL I WRITE A FIC ABOUT THIS. YES.

BUT THINK ABOUT IT. LISTEN TO IT THINKING ABOUT OUR MOONY!!

demidreamer:

Wolfstar headcanon in which Sirius comes to visit Remus at the Lupin’s in summer between the 5th and the 6th year as they need some time without their friends to work through the consequences of the prank and restore their relationship.

This is the first time Sirius is at the Lupin’s and this is when he first sees Remus as relaxed as he can be, freckles all over his bare arms and chest when they sunbathe together in the backyard, Remus wearing shorts, Remus closing his eyes and enjoying the sun without thinking that somebody could be watching him. This is when Sirius knows that no matter how hard that prank hit them both, they’re going to be fine eventually because Remus trusts him and lets him in such private moments of his summer. They spend the whole week together, eating Hope’s pies, reading adventure novels out loud in turns, watching the stars at night, biking (this is hard for Sirius at first, but he is a fast learner), kissing and touching and melting in each other’s arms for hours in Remus’s bedroom with the door locked and quieting spells cast, waking up together to the smells of breakfast and coffee. They talk at some point then and even though it still hurts, Remus is doing his best to trust that Sirius is never going to betray him again.

Bonus 1: Remus taking a bunch of Muggle polaroid photos of Sirius swimming in the pond near the village, Sirius smiling at him at sunset, Sirius catching a frog in the grass for a transfiguration practice, hair in a messy bun and mouth a concentrated straight line. There is also a selfie they take, camera nearly slipping of Remus’s hand and hitting the ground two or three times, they are laughing in it and hugging and this is the photo Remus is going to take to school this year and hide it somewhere in his books.

Bonus 2: James accidentally finding the photo and finally starting to suspect that something is going on between the two.

mischief-marauders:

It is my personal headcanon that while James could be kind of an asshole, he’d be the best friend anyone could have because he cares so much.

Hair Ties

Sirius started breathing harder and fanning his face. The common room was stifling and the open windows didn’t help. His shirt was already unbuttoned to the point of being obscene and his hair was making the heat worse.

Sirius looked up startled as James sighed in annoyance and got up. He yanked Sirius’ hair back from his face and started tying it in a knot at the back of his head with the hair tie from his wrist

“What’re you doing? And why do you have a hair tie?”

James scowled at him. “You don’t have enough sense to carry one and you’re dying right now with your hair in your face”

Sirius let out a yelp as James pulled his hair again.

“Sorry. I’m still learning. Lily’s been teaching me.”

Sirius turned slightly in his chair and grinned at James.

“You’re learning how to tie hair just for me? Careful Potter, I might get the wrong impression-“

Sirius yelped mid sentence as James yanked his hair back once more.

“Sorry”, James said sweetly.

Medication

James slammed the little cup rattling with pills in front of Remus.

“I don’t have-“

“Here” James said as he slammed a bottle of water on the table in front of him.

Remus opened his mouth but James spoke up again.

“And before you say that you need to take your pills with food, you don’t. I checked beforehand and even if you did, I have a sandwich and a granola bar neatly wrapped in my bag”.

“Ok but”-

“The sandwhich is ham and cheese, no Mayo. The granola bar is chocolate chip and doesn’t have any nuts in it. Yes I remembered your food allergies and preferences. Now take the damn pill”.

Remus scowled but inwardly felt a flood of relief and love for James. He snatched the granola bar and ripped it open as James watched him with a small grin on his face.

Anxiety

James looked over in annoyance. Sirius was bouncing his knee and picking at this hands during history of magic. Walburga had written a letter this morning that had left Sirius red faced at breakfast. He didn’t know it was that bad until he saw some blood on Sirius’ nail beds from the constant picking.

James leaned down and grabbed a marker from his bag. He pulled his sleeve up and handed the marker to Sirius.

Sirius looked down in confusion.

“What is this?”

“Stop picking your skin. Just doodle on my arm. Lily says it helps with anxiety.”

Sirius averted his eyes.

“No James, that’s em-“

“Anxiety isn’t embarrassing and I don’t mind. Just stop picking at your skin and at least try to look like you’re paying attention”.

Sirius uncapped the marker and started drawing on James’ arm, occasionally looking up and pretending he was paying attention. He felt the panic and anxiety slowly flood away as he worked on designs from James’ wrist to his elbow.

“Oh and if you draw a penis on my arm, I’ll smack the shit out of you”

Sirius laughed quietly as he put the finishing touches on a life-like ball sack on James’ forearm.

“Too late”.

Sweater

Remus tried. He genuinely tried to hide his shivering. They had been at Hogsmeade for about an hour and Remus was freezing. James’ had told him various times to bring a jacket but he kept ignoring him and now he was shaking in his tee shirt. He tried to hide that he was cold because he hated proving James’ right. But he knew James noticed when he saw the scowl on his face.

“James, don’t say it-“

“I told you! I told you it was cold but you never listen to me”

Remus rolled his eyes. “I’ll survive-“

James had already taken his quidditch sweatshirt off and was pulling it on Remus.

Remus struggled against him and turned slightly red as Sirius and Lily laughed at them. “James stop. You’re going to be cold”.

James shrugged as he finally pulled it over Remus’’ head, messing his hair up in the process. “I have more muscle mass and I don’t get cold. Scrawny ass motherfucker”.

Remus grinned and crossed his arms over his chest. The sweater was oversized, warm, and smelled nice. It smelled safe and secure. It smelled like James.

i have a headcanon that james potter would be a huge swiftie… i feel like he’s the type of guy to appreciate well thought out lyrics and loves to hear stories because his parents read to him a lot as a kid (and all of taylor’s songs have a story behind it.)

he would keep it a secret during his first five years because his friends are all rock and roll and punk or whatever but then sirius catches him listening to some great taylor love song and sirius asks what song it was because he wants to dedicate it to remus and james just lights up because his best friend likes taylor now too.

remus and sirius would definitely be on his case about it at first but then they’ll end up giving it a try for james because well… james is the best person they know, it’s the least they could do. eventually, remus and sirius grow fond of taylor and most nights you’ll find remus blushing and telling sirius to “be quiet, pads” while sirius sings the most over the top rendition of you belong with me to remus in the middle of the common room.

lily would find out about james’ love for taylor swift after peter lets it slip one day and she’d spend the entire duration of their prefect rounds teasing him about it. but james wouldn’t mind because hey, at least she’s talking to me.

before they go their separate ways for the night, james laughs and says, “i know you think it’s silly but if you ever wanted to listen to one of her songs, and i mean really listen, listen to enchanted. i think of you whenever it plays.”

james walks away with a smile and lily’s curiosity gets the best of her and she listens to enchanted for the first time that night. then she listens to it again. and again. and again. and again. until the sun is up and she realizes she’s spent the entire night thinking about james potter and his love for taylor swift and now she thinks she’s falling in love with him too.

passion-in-my-blood:

Headcanon that Sirius Black at some point was practically obsessed with starting his own band, and though he had no idea how to play guitar he was convinced he was going to rock it (after all he already had the looks and groupies)

And of course James joins right away because Lily will be so impressed, but Remus and Peter are far more reluctant and how is a band with two members gonna work?
So they focus in other things -but of course Sirius is still looking for his perfect guitar in muggle stores, he is after all persistent.
Meanwhile James had declared that he will one day marry a certain redhead called Lily Evans and the one of the marauders that will have the most romantic idea to sweep her off her feet will get to be his best man.
So Sirius, Remus and Peter go all out with chocolates, picnics, cards but after an incident that involved duplicating lilies in her dorm that only duplicated when being touched and attempted to remove that had Lily seething, poor Peter is out of the race.
Now poor James had to take the blame for this, after all the card with “My love for you only duplicates whenever I touch you, Lily ~J” definitely hinted at him. So he forbids Sirius and Remus from trying anything else with Lily, but Sirius is far too stubborn to give up and he tells Remus:“ Let’s see who of us is more romantic. I bet you that I could sweep you off your feet in a month”. Now Remus couldn’t very well let Sirius get anymore cocky, so he’s definitely in.
Of course now Remus didn’t ever tell Sirius that he did get guitar lessons from his Mum Hope, a muggle singer/guitarist and is actually quite adept at it, as he knew Sirius would make him the Center of the attention for it. But now this comes in handy: “Pete!”, he calls, “what do you think about being in a position where no one could ignore you?”
So he teaches Peter the drums, and though a month is quite short, the smaller boy actually has a knack for this and finds joy in letting his feelings be heard in the sound of the drums. Now Remus being the “intellectual” of course didn’t always do homework whenever he scribbled something down on parchment and got teased for it by the other marauders. His texts, some poetry, some short stories have always been something he held very dear and now it was time to share one of it.
Therefore, when the month ended and Sirius awoke to the smooth voice of Remus Lupin accompanied by his own lead guitar (he had asked Hope to send it to him) and Pete playing a simple rhythm, he was quite literally swept off his feet (well, he fell out of his bed).
And Sirius who knew his band was going to be reality smiled a big sleepy smile before engulfing Remus in a hug: “oh you know I love you, Moony. I have to admit, you are the winner, the winner of my heart”, he added cheesily only for the other boys to groan loudly.
Yet, Remus himself stepped down from his throne and awarded Sirius the first place when he stepped into the Shrieking Shack a year later and found himself facing blankets, boxes of chocolate and most importantly the black fur of a certain dog called Snuffles to keep him company.

Headcanon that Sirius Black at some point was practically obsessed with starting his own band, and though he had no idea how to play guitar he was convinced he was going to rock it (after all he already had the looks and groupies)

James:

always leaves his Quidditch gear lying around

MANY Quidditch Posters are hanging on his wall

has got a picture of his family on his nightstand (”But Mum it’s embarrassing to have a photo of you kissing me..”, though nobody can withstand Euphemia Potter’s hurt puppy look)

Filibusters and other prank articles hidden under his cloak (the cleanest spot in his part of the dorm at least that’s what it looks like)

Sirius:

Leaves lots of magazines lying around, because he’s got the attention span of a goldfish and always gets distracted, but he “will look at it later on”

Same with clothes, they’re literally everywhere, because he throws out all of his clothes and then just chooses the same torn dark jeans and his leather jacket anyway

Has always got parchment and a quill on his nightstand in case he gets another incredible idea at night, so he can write it down immediately

in first year bottles and cans made it impossible to walk through his part of the dorm (being used to a house elve did spoil him), however the others put a halt to this

Remus:

on the first glance his part is spotless, though he has twice as many pillows as the others

But he leaves lots of books in his bed, his nightstand and over time they can be found in the strangest places, since he sometimes just gets so into a story that he carries the book around everywhere

also there are lots of candy wrappers and always an emergency chocolate bar in his nightstand (mostly chocolate of course) and beneath it a calendar with a full moon chart

in the corner he’s got a Muggle coffee machine (in fifth year Sirius gave it to him as a present, because they learned not to talk to Moony before he’s had his morning coffee)

Peter:

Is actually the tidiest out of them all

Yet he secretly hoards stuff under his bed (this includes food too)

Always receives many letters from his mother who seems to be the only one convinced that her Pete is the greatest wizard of all and hides them in his nightstand and sometimes under his pillow

Always gets various sweets from his mother, that he gladly put in a box in the middle of their dorm, where everyone can take some

Bonus:

since fourth year the ceiling is charmed to display a huge picture of the four of them together (in sixth year they manage to charm it like a slide show, so there’s a different picture of an adventure -mostly pranks- of them every day)

Remus Lupin frequently dreaming about a face with the prominent Black features hovering over a seashell, but they keep constantly changing, and he can’t look Sirius in the eyes for a month straight, after he asked Peter for the meaning (Because which other Black would even be seen with him in the future?)

Him being really anxious and scared when they announce their idea to accompany him on the full moon as animagi, but also being really touched and thinking back to what he once saw in a certain Crystal Ball, overwhelmed by his luck.

Remus letting slip that he believes in Divination after Sirius made fun of their professor and admitting that he once saw significant signs for what was coming, which leads to Sirius and James constantly asking him about it and Remus blushing an awful lot.

Sirius Black making up a list with crazy improbable things from which he randomly mixes together what will happen. (This includes people// incident// place// and occasionally other participants)

Him, the undoubted Dramaqueen, telling his professor the results of choosing on the random list: “My head started to harbour this immense pain, when I actually saw this. It was too painful, but I had to share this message with you: You were there, Professor and everything was painted in dark colours that seemed to draw you in. All the dark colours seemed to explode and you were right in the middle screaming agonizingly. Oh and there were tentacles, so it might have been the Giant Squid, too.”

His professor falling in the Black Lake facing the Giant Squid that emitted dark ink everywhere making them believe Sirius instantly forever: “20 points to Gryffindor for this amazing talent of Mr. Black. He knew it. He is the one with the true inner eye. Mr. Black, I am sincerely looking forward to your future accomplishments in the field of Divination!”

Sirius being smug about it and making up lists with even more ridiculous content, but his professor believing him all the time. (This was one of the reasons why Dumbledore, who observed this was on the brink of abolishing Divination class, before Prof. Trewlaney came along)

James Potter being called out for his made up stories, which makes him complain a lot as Sirius could tell the Professor that Dumbledore would be talking to a small boy about socks in front of a mirror and they would celebrate his talent.

Yet, he believes that that flower he managed to recognize in his tea leaves holds special meaning, so he draws strength from the memory when he is getting rejected by the beautiful and fierce Lily Evans for the  50th time and once again orders a nice chocolate arrangement from Honeydukes (according to Sirius birds love chocolate, but when he glanced at Remus as he said that, the boy refused to help them with the planning of any pranks for a week)

Peter Pettigrew being almost on top of this class, second only to Sirius who gets special treatment due to his “enormous natural talent” and taking pride in that fact.

Him seeing glimpses of his future in his dreams regularly, but as a devoted believer in destiny not attempting to change or rush it. Mostly, there is laughter or explosions from pranks they played, but he the Whomping Willow also often reoccurred as well as ginger hair that he can’t exactly pin down (It can’t be Lily, can it?)

Peter finding out about a lot of secret passages by seeing their entrances in a Crystal Ball and searching for them afterwards, so he can surprise his friends with them, which makes them plan to draw them on a certain map.

Peter and Remus growing close thanks to their mutual tutoring, which further develops after Remus trusted him out of all people with his confusing dreams and also stands up for him whenever James and Sirius try to tease the smaller boy.

obsessed-with-marauders:

Regulus Black wears eyeliner

At first, he was really scared to put on makeup, because toxic masculinity but the first time he did it, he ran into James, who did not expect to be dreaming about a certain boy with eyeliner kissing him that night.

And that is how James Potter fell for Regulus Black

Regulus Black wears eyeliner

Evil clone of Remus pointing to the real Remus: shoot him, I’m the real one.

[Sirius shoots the evil clone directly].

Remus: how did you know that I was the real one?

Sirius: Easy, you would never waste a chance to die.

I did it and I don’t regret it.

Some of you have never fallen in love with one of your best friends, breaking magic laws by using a spell to become an animal so you can accompany the love of your life on his most difficult nights and it shows.

moodboard: wolfstar

Sleep with me in the shadows

between whispers that are only ours

tell me that you feel at home with me

and when you get drunk at night

you are welcome to get to my big ice bed

my ice bed that melts when you hug me.

Snape: call Lily mudblood.

Lily: prefers James.

Snape:

That’s me and any member of my family

Sirius with magician’s voice: and for my next trick I will basically make my heterosexuality disappear … but before i will need help from my handsome assistant Remus John Lupin.

Remus: he’s kidding, there’s nothing to disappear.

Sirius blackis gay i say into the mic.

‪the crowd boos. i begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.‬

‪Is totally true they say.

i look for the owner of the voice. there in the 4th row stands: Sirius black’s ghost himself‬.

In countless nights, Remus Lupin crossed in the middle of the night to Sirius’ bed, lay down next to him and read Romeo and Juliet, fuck yourself if you don’t agree.

[Sirius trying to be funny at the time of his vows at his wedding].

Sirius holding the hands of Remus: all my life I thought I would marry my soulmate … but James fell in love with Lily, anyway I’m glad I met you.

James laughing and whispering from his seat: I didn’t think he would dare to say it, I lost the bet, bastard.

Sirius to Remus: it’s a joke, I love you.

Remus smiling:…

Sirius: … moony I think you’re breaking my fingers.

Sirius: I love when Remus criticizes my decisions but at the same time supports me in everything, it’s really cute.

James: I know, lily does the same with me… it’s called being passive aggressive.
