starting to feel like blackinnon love child at this point cause the lack of awareness yet the easy nature of it all, the obviousness and the playing it down games, the sneaking up on them both, the way they mirror each other that every time they tell something that infuriates them about the other they might as well be yelling at their own reflection but also believing in each other so hard in a way they don’t even believe in themselves and the angst of neither of them ever expecting to lose each other in such a tragic way despite all the deaths and disappearances going on around them. ugh, i need to lay down.
also i doubt remus would’ve said he got all the women if he knew sirius left them hanging, why mentioning it then? and let’s not pretend like being gay/bi/queer during the 70s was easy. maybe he was, maybe he wasn’t. we don’t know.
Idk why people get weird when I mention that I think that Sirius is also attracted to women😭 Like are we talking about the same guy?😭 Bro had bikini posters of women in his room???😭 Nothing wrong with you thinking he's gay, but it can't be that surprising for some people to think he likes women?????😭
considering his future
“thirsting over fictional men isn’t healthy” well god forbid a woman has a hobby!
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.
James is not a deadbeat dad: I hate when people say that
"Dumbledore had to take his invisibility cloak because he was going out so much," No. Dumbledore borrowed James' cloak so he could research it, he asked to borrow it, and James let him.
"He leaves to go on motorbike rides with Sirius, leaving Lily and harry alone" Also, no. That was a prequel for a reason. It took place three years before Harry's birth and when James was still in Hogwarts, maybe not even dating Lily yet. And even if he was dating Lily, he can still go out because he wasn't in hiding yet.
"He forgot his wand on the couch" Key word. Forgot. He wasn't in a life or death situation, it was just pure death. He voluntarily risked his life to give Lily time to go up those stairs, knowing he'd die. He told Lily to take Harry without him. If you're going to say James is an idiot for forgetting his wand, don't forget, Lily had no wand upon her either. James was scared and clearly had no time to get his wand because one distraction could've made Voldemort pass him.
day 15 - if you even need to think twice - blackinnon - @blackinnonfest
marlene was resting over his chest, completely naked except for the sheet with which sirius have covered them both.
he was mindlessly tracing figures with his fingers on her back, mesmerised by the sight of her: cheeks flushed, eyes shining, hair completely tousled as if she just landed on the pitch after flying around on her broom.
sirius knew marlene wasn’t into quidditch for the sport, but for the adrenaline, same as him.
“i think i’m falling in love with you” he whispered, only realizing he said it at loud once he felt marlene tense up on top of him.
he meant it, though.
“i love you” he repeated, louder this time.
marlene got to her knees, wrapping the sheet around her torso, covering herself.
sirius propped himself up on his forearms, looking at her.
“i… wasn’t expecting that” she finally admitted, mouth hang half open, genuine shock in her eyes.
sirius waited, his heart suddenly clenched behind his ribs.
several seconds passed before marlene dared speak again.
“i’m trying to think of the right thing to say here.”
he swallowed hard, trying to hide the fact that just then, marlene had hurt him.
he wouldn’t show it, though.
“if you have to think about it then i guess the answer is pretty obvious. i just wish i hadn’t wasted my time” he blurted out, finally siting himself properly, feet on the carpet on the opposite side of the bed.
“that’s not fair.”
there was a tinge of hurt in marlene’s voice, but that, sirius thought, wasn’t fair. not to him, not after what he just admitted.
“no fair?” he questioned, rising his voice slightly. “what’s fair about the fact that you’d rather believe those stupid rumors going around instead of me? you know who are the girls that say all that shit? the ones i’ve never given the time of day. they’re the ones who need to convince themselves that i’m some sort of ruthless casanova.”
“you say that as if you’re this sort open book, like i have to had you all figured it out by now” she replied, her voice even know.
“like you’re much better!.” he finally turned to watch her. “you’re the one who wanted to keep this under wraps, remember?!” he shouted, pointing at the general direction of the castle with his arm.
marlene was taken aback.
“you’d think the way i treated would clear things up for you. but maybe you weren’t paying attention, what with all the boys you’ve been talking to lately.” it was a low blow, but he didn’t care.
“fuck you, black!” marlene shouted, getting to her feet and rapidly putting on her clothes on.
“right back at you, mckinnon!” he fired back just as she had slammed the door of his room behind her.
seconds later, james came into the room looking bewildered.
“what was that?” he asked while taking in the scene he just entered in.
“nothing that matters” sirius answered, getting to his feet and passing james on his way to the bathroom.
(not me trying to beat the allegations of being too angsty)
they have the longest conversations in bed while eating junk food and drinking beer. sirius loves marlene has an appetite and is not concerned like other girls with her appearance. he thinks she’s the most beautiful girl anyway and the fact that she doesn’t care that much makes her extra hot.
marlene loves buzzing sirius hair off. the first time she was scared as hell but sirius saying “i trust you” after her repeatedly asking him if he was fine was enough to fill her with confidence (and simultaneously melted her insides). she loves trying new cuts whenever he’s in the mood to cut his hair. sirius won’t admit it but he cuts it so often because he loves watching marlene looking so concentrated in the reflection of the mirror.
this is more of a muggle au. sometimes they take a joke too far and hurt each others feelings (they never say it, they just stop messing around and silently retreat and try to act normal when they are in public). when this happens and they find each other on a store sirius always catches the camera with the live footage underneath and stars reaching out for marlene. hugs her, kiss hers. tickles her. points at the camera implying they have to act normal cause somebody’s watching. and so marlene hugs him back, kiss him, mess with his hairs. by the time they go out of the store, they are as good as ever.
during the war they start talking about all the places they will visit when they win. they will jump on sirius’ bike and fly around the world wherever the sky takes them. sirius even ventures out as saying they will use no map. marlene jokes about the idea coming from the same man who co-created the marauders map. the whole thing becomes their coping mechanism but also a promise. they will have time for it once it’s all over.
sirius starts running quidditch bets after he ran from home since he doesn’t have any money (yet). remus disapproves. marlene loves it. sirius comes up with the craziest moves (sometimes injuries) to engage with the gamblers and marlene tries her best to achieve them. she has good aim after all. they stop after marlene sent three slytherins with head concussions to the medical wing over the course of one game. mcgonagall send both to detention. separately.
they have a spot near the lake in hogwarts but they have to cut through the forbidden forest to get there. it was marlene’s place first. sirius just followed her once. it became a habit since third year when they were just friends. they had their first kiss there. it was also the first place the shagged. marlene came back with little sticks and leaves in her hair. sirius claimed she had a rough encounter with the whomping willow. marlene still resents him a little for that. as if she would be as stupid as to fly near that thing. it took her time but she got her revenge when she let drop the exact time where myrtle might find one very naked sirius black using the prefects bathroom.
Draco would thrive in theater… 😓
