The Great Marauder’s prank wall headcanon
Okay but imagine this…
-The Marauders having a wall in the dorm covered with paper
-It starts out when James writes a note to Sirius about the potions homework
-Then it just becomes the default place to stick reminders and notes that are just never taken down again
-Then Remus takes a risk and adds a photo of the four of them at the end of the first year
-The photo stays up and is quickly joined by hundreds of others
-When Sirius starts writing really bad poetry he sticks that up there too
-The others like to write feedback to him
-James kind of misses the point of ‘constructive’ criticism
-“PRONGS HOW IS ‘THIS IS CRAP’ GOING TO HELP ME IMPROVE MY ARTISTIC PROSE”
-When the war starts they stick up articles about disappearances they want to solve
-A shrine is made in one corner to commemorate those lost
-When they leave they each sign the wall with non-removable ink
-They also write one thing they want to try and do before they die
-When the war is over Mcgonagall finds the wall
-On it is written the following
-‘Before I die I want to make peace with my brother’
-‘Before I die I want to gain control’
'Before I die I want to have a whole bunch of kids with the best woman ever and then they’ll all form a super Potter quidditch team’
-And last of all in the smallest and neatest writing it says
-'Before I die I want to not be afraid’
-Mcgonagall takes everything down and puts it in a large box
-She sends it to Harry anomalously
-She adds a note saying this
-'Before I die I want to be outlived’
things i learned that broke my heart: one meaning of the star ‘regulus’ is ‘the heart of a lion’
most heartbreaking harry moments:
- the breakdown in dumbledore’s office after sirius dies
- “but sirius did not reappear”
- spending all night watching james and lily in the mirror of erised
- trying not to cry when mrs. weasley hugs him after the third task
- kneeling by dumbledore’s body as the crowd gathered around him
- visiting his parent’s graves in godric’s hollow and wishing he was under the snow with them
- clutching dobby’s body outside of shell cottage
- “stay close to me”
Did a couple of prompts for Sirius’s Birthday Bash 2015 on LJ!
lyonessheart requested Sirius mourning for Regulus ｡：ﾟ(｡ﾉω＼｡)ﾟ･｡
if you say your heart didn’t break for him in this scene then you are lying
He’d been 16 exactly 25 days. He was a fucking child, terrified and manipulated and absolutely, perfectly fucking logically CERTAIN of his own (and quite probably his family’s) murders if he failed to kill Dumbledore in cold blood.
Is that a doubting face? There’s no ‘Or he’ll probably kill me’ in those eyes—he is certain.
And he still can’t do it. Even after the way he’s been raised, with his neck on the line, likely his mother and father’s necks right there alongside him, he can’t do it.
Draco Malfoy is a right royal twat on a regular basis in the books. He’s not a hero, but let’s be honest, nor fucking well should he be.
He’s been 16 for 25 days. He is a child. He’s supposed to be fucking selfish, he’s a teenager—his concerns should extend to his homework, end of year exams and figuring out who in the hell he actually is as a person.
Because he’s been raised to be his father. There’s no arguing it—he’s been brought up to be a carbon copy of Lucius, and he’s barely sixteen and he’s too young to know better. He’s not meant to have worked out who he is on his own yet, and he sure as fuck isn’t supposed to be a hero.
Neither is Harry. Neither is Ron, or Hermione, or Ginny or Neville.
Every single one of the teens in the series is forced to be an adult so far before they are even vaguely capable of being so. The difference is in how what they’re being asked to do ties into their natures.
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, Luna—all of our boys and girls who fight on the side of the Order are fucking good people who have to do things they shouldn’t have to do. But they are things they believe in. They are fighting for good, they wish none of it had to happen, but since it is happening, they are right where they’d want to be. Good people fighting for the triumph of good over evil.
It’s too soon for them, too young, but it’s in their natures.
But Draco Malfoy?
This scene just proves how far from his nature he’s been forced, as does his failure to sell the trio out to Bellatrix at the Manor.
Even though he’s been raised to think he’s doing the right thing, even though everything he’s ever been taught by his family says that Voldemort is right and Muggleborns are scum, that Dumbledore is a mad old man and the worst thing to happen to the school. Even though all this is true, when it comes down to the moment of choice, he just can not do it. He can’t send people to their deaths, can’t take a life.
The man he’s been raised to become just isn’t the boy he was meant to be.
And that’s such a different challenge than the ones our less problematic faves face—not more, but so different as to be incomparable.
He’d been sixteen for twenty-five days, he was facing his own death or Dumbledore’s, and he didn’t cast that spell.
He is a character moulded and eventually forced to do evil things despite not being inherently evil as a person.
imagine sirius reading “goodnight, moon” to harry before bed every night and instead of saying, “goodnight, moon” he says, “goodnight…moon-y” and harry giggles and remus just stands in the doorway watching with a huge grin on his face wow what a time to be alive
Reblog if you have mourned the death of a fictional character.
If you do not reblog this, you are in fact lying.
