Omg Unlocked Memory Turn Hd Canon Now But Marlene Trying To Play It Down, Selling Really Hard The Fact

james potter (lead guitarist and vocals): if i had to pinpoint the moment it all started to get derailed, i would say it was the moment regulus died.

remus lupin (bassist): she [marlene] flew all the way to where we were just to tell him. his brother had been dead for a week. no one in his family had reached out.

peter pettigrew (drummer): lost a major gig for her agency. she didn’t care. it was her way.

james: it was all so fucked up. that same night after our concert we got introduced to the prewet brothers who then got us our first record deal a week later.

remus: he was in flames. i’ve never seen him perform like that.

james: something change that night.

peter: it worked though. got us where we wanted.

okay, hear me out…

a story written in interview format where famous rock band ‘marauders’ explain once and for all why they broke up back in 1981 following the dead of, according to the media at the time, a random groupie.

james, remus and peter have all lost contact with lead singer sirius black.

where is he now?

is he still alive?

and who was the groupie and why did it matter so much as to mark the end of such a promising band?

marlene mckinnon’s name will haunt the narrative much as she did when she was alive.

(i blame daisy jones and the six for this and damiano david cover of ‘ella baila sola’ cause don’t tell that isn’t sirius singing about marlene)

breaking point

The most hardcore thing that Harry James Potter ever did was not, contrary to popular belief, the “there’s no need to call me ‘sir,’ Professor” incident, but instead was either the time that he

a) laid into one of the people he respected most in the world (and the only authority figure in his life offering him help in one of the most desperate situations he’d ever been in) for leaving his pregnant wife, going “man, you’re inhibited by your own self-loathing and fear? That’s rough. That really sucks. But you know what trumps that? RESPONSIBILITY. You brought a child into the world. You’re a father now. You’re scared? Walk it off. Walk it off AAAAAALLLL THE WAY BACK HOME. And say hi to Tonks for me.”

or

b) he willingly let himself be murdered, came back from the dead, walked back onto the battlefield, stared his own killer dead in the eyes completely unimpressed and called him “Tom”

this is so ronks coded. what if I throw up.

The Black Sisters: Bellatrix, Andromeda and Narcissa.

considering his future

when ppl say James is oblivious to someone flirting but I know him for the cocky shit he is who thinks everyone is flirting with him.

Do you have any headcanons about Wizarding cultural norms and stereotypes?

I love how your brain works ❤️❤️

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️ My brain is mostly fuelled by tea and spite, but it does try. So I love thinking about cultural quirks and here are some of my hcs:

1. Table manners look very different in old wizarding families.

Especially the ones who look down on Muggle etiquette. In some of the oldest families, you eat off a trencher and don’t necessarily use a fork. And there’s a cloth slung over your left shoulder, like in Elizabethan or Tudor times (I still have a bit of Wolf Hall brain rot), that you use to wipe your hands.

2. Birth charts are taken extremely seriously.

Almost every magical child has a birth chart drawn up the day they’re born. St. Mungo’s has an entire department that does this, because it’s considered that important. People absolutely reference their charts in daily life.

3. Wand funeral rites are non-negotiable.

Wands are either buried with the person or ritualistically burnt when someone passes. It’s seen as really bad luck to keep or use a dead person’s wand. A wand goes with its person. Keeping it is taboo and viewed with deep suspicion.

4. The concept of pure-blood varies by culture.

The British definition is very specific, but it’s not universal. Other magical cultures define purity differently. In some places, it’s about the continuity of magical teaching. In others, it doesn’t exist at all as a social category.

5. Family sashes are worn at weddings and then exchanged.

Each member of the wedding party wears their family colours. After the vows, the sashes are exchanged as a gesture of unity and joining. It matters deeply in old magical families and is considered one of the most symbolic parts of the ceremony.

6. Weddings are not white.

In most old magical families, white is considered a colour for mourning. Wedding garments are typically gold, deep red, forest green, or midnight blue. Gold is especially traditional in Mediterranean magical families.

7. Pregnancy is considered a prophetically potent time.

Pregnant witches are often believed to be more magically attuned. It’s common to visit a dream seer during the second trimester — someone trained to interpret the dreams of the expectant mother.

8. First movement is marked with a fire spell.

When the unborn child first kicks or moves, it’s tradition to light a fire with a spell cast by the pregnant witch herself. Then that fire is kept burning until the child is born.

9. You never point your wand at the sky unless you’re making an oath.

It’s an old tradition, possibly Celtic in origin, that raising your wand skyward invokes the elements as witness. Children are warned against it as strongly as they’re warned against Unforgivables. To the sky means a vow, and it is expected to be honoured.

10. Certain flowers are magically significant and avoided indoors.

Lilies are considered death flowers. They are used in soul-anchoring rites during funerals. Forget-me-nots are essential in memory magic and shouldn’t be handled while drinking or before exams. Poppies, used to dull magical pain, are never left near a wand overnight. It’s said they dull a wand’s magical firepower.

11. You don’t write a person’s name in red ink.

Across most wizarding cultures, this is considered deeply disrespectful. Red ink is used in blood pacts, contract severances, and formal magical excommunication. Writing someone’s name in red is a symbolic disowning. Teachers correct essays in green or purple.

12. Family portraits are part of the household warding.

Hanging a portrait of a deceased relative strengthens the home’s protective magic. In older families, these portraits are passed down. Some serve as sentries. Some offer advice or judgemental comments about you.

sirius: i kissed her.

james: what?

remus: when?

peter: who?

sirius: about a month ago.

james: how am i just finding out?

remus: did she… kissed you back?

peter: who are we talking about?

remus: marlene.

sirius: yes. no. i don’t know, what does it matter?

remus: your kidding, right? tell me you’re joking.

james: how can you not know that?

peter: mckinnon?

sirius: yes, peter, how many marlene’s have you met? and no, i’m not joking. i mean, i understand how fundamental it is to know if a girl kiss you back or not, but we didn’t have time. i had to leave.

remus: you kissed her and then ran? and you wonder why she isn’t crawling back for more like the rest of them?

sirius: we were in the middle of “the plan”! james was there, he was calling me, that’s why i left.

james: how could i’ve been there when i just found out you kissed marlene?

sirius: you came after it happened.

james: so i interrupted you?

sirius: no. yes. what does it matter? i kissed her and then left. it was a busy day.

james: you don’t say…

remus: you left her cause you had to pulled a stupid prank?

james: hey, don’t take it out on “the plan”, it was brilliant!

sirius: that’s not the point, prongs.

james: right, sorry.

peter: what is the point though?

remus: the point is that sirius is a complete idiot. it amazes me how you managed to fool every girl in the castle into wanting to go out with you.

peter: except the one he wants.

sirius: thanks for that.

james: so what happened afterwards? when you saw her again, i mean.

sirius: nothing.

james: nothing?

remus: you haven’t talked to her since?

sirius: we’ve talked, just… not about that. it all has been normal, as if nothing happened.

james: are you sure you kissed and you didn’t… imagine it?

peter: oh, i’ve been there.

sirius: unlike you, peter, i don’t need to fantasize to get a girl to kiss me.

remus: don’t take it out on peter. it isn’t his fault you kissed her and then ran away.

sirius: i didn’t ran away.

james: this is getting nowhere. what are you gonna do now?

sirius: that’s what i’m asking you lot.
