McGonagall: Well James Potter, how are you going to explain this one?
James: Well I’m going to say verbally because by the tone of your voice i dont think you’d appreciate the dance i have prepared
Marauders:*Shuffle away disappointed*
Umbridge : The earth is flat
McGonagall : No Dolores, it is round
Umbridge : Flat as a board
McGonagall : Round as a ball
Y/n : Stop body shamming the poor earth!
Mcgonagall : I have a very important mission for all of you! Severus,Fred, George, Y/n
Snape : Me included?
Mcgonagall : Yes! Silence, Severus!
Y/n : What do you want us to do?
Fred : Whatever that is-
George : We will accept!
Snape : I WILL NOT ACC-
Mcgonagall : Prank Umbridge for me
Snape : I would love to do it and will do it right now
Snape : I’m burning through the sky, yeah
Mcgonagall : Severus, your robe
Snape : Two hundred degrees, that’s why they called me mr. fahrenheit
Mcgonagall : Severus! You’re on fire!
Snape : Who’s severus? I’m mr. fahrenheit
James can’t produce a patronus for ages, he just can’t stay focused.
DADA in the last year, when they’re learning it, Minnie just happens to be walking by and sees him struggle. She stops in on the class, and Lily finally provides a full body patronus of a doe. Minnie goes over to James and says to him quietly “Evans looks happy with hers,” and James looks at his girlfriend. She has a bright smile looking up at the creature from her wand.
James focuses on this, on Lily, on her smile. He holds our his wand once more and speaks the charm, and a large bright stag escapes his wand and joins the doe in the sky.
McGonagall said something then, barely loud enough for James to hear, and he can’t be sure that he did, but he thinks her heard her mutter “good job, Prongs.”
sirius: if there is a god up there, he is cruel and has abandoned humanity.
lily: what happened?
remus: minnie said she doesn’t like dogs
sirius, sobbing violently: SHE DOESN’T LOVE ME
James and Remua: *Setting up a prank*
*knocks on the door*
Remus: Don’t answer that. It could be a trap!
Sirius:*already opening the door*
McGonagall: Good evening Mr. Black. May I talk to Mr. Potter?
James *Mouthing from his hiding spot*: Don’t tell her!
Sirius: Uh…he’s in the bathroom.
McGonagall: Oh…and where is Mr. Lupin?
Remus: *Gestures Wildly*
Sirius: He’s also in the bathroom?
McGonagall *confused*: They are both in the bathroom? What are they doing?
Sirius: *Looks over at James and Remus* Uh…Idk. I gotta go to the bathroom too. *shuts door in her face*
James and Remus: *Facepalms*
James and Sirius: *studying quietly*
McGonagall: *passes by*, *stops*
McGonagall: *suspicious* What did you do?
James:Nothing!
McGonagall: Don’t give me that. What did you do?
Sirius: Minnie, we are just trying to study.
McGonagall: *narrows eyes* So you won’t mind if I check–*OPENS DRAWER*–IN HERE! *confused at finding it empty*
James: Professor, I’m telling you, we didn’t do anything.
McGonagall: Nah. You boys are up to something, I can smell it. I swear if you broke another– *checks window* *again finds nothing*
Sirius: See? Now can we go back to our homework?
McGonagall: *sniffs* You just consider yourself lucky, this time. *leaves and closes the door behind her*
Peter *hanging upside-down on the other side of the door, wrapped in a cocoon of ropes*: Boy, that was close.
James: Either she is losing her touch, or we are getting better.
Sirius: *high fives james*
I just remembered the day I went to a con, cosplaying a generical slytherin student.
Me and my friend found an Harry Potter themed escape room, so we decided to give it a truly. Let me just say, the most iconic part where the people running it, cosplaying the teachers. They were so in-character that it gave me chills.
Dumbledore was at the cash register. The most friendly, I jokingly asked if they accepted muggle money and he smiled at me saying that for this time it was alright.
McGonagall was the guide to our first task, beautiful and cool, majestically explaining us the rules of the escape room.
First room was Snape potion class. Let me just say one thing. I was wearing a Slytherin robe and I thought it would make him glad, but he managed to give me actual chills. He would scold us whenever we got something wrong trying to solve the riddle, treating us like actual students. I was thinking like “Sir, I’m your fucking house, chill” Now I can imagine how it would be to meet him in hogwarts, and I don’t like it. Respect for the boy cosplaying him.
I don’t remember every teacher, but I do remember the last one in the room. The guy playing professor Lupin made me feel at ease in the room, after Snape’s chilling performance, and encouraged us to solve the riddle with a calm and friendly smile. I loved every second of it, so much that when we ran out of time just before the last task, we did it again (Dumbledore complimented us for our determination)
But you know what the best part was? A family tried it before we entered the second time. They had a little kid. When he saw Snape, he started crying. And this is how much in-character he was.
