#DO YOU EVER CRY BECAUSE HARRY GOT ALL EMOTIONAL ABOUT THE FACT THAT LILY WROTE HER G’S THE SAME WAY AS HIM??? #and he sought them all out because this was some new tiny way he could connect with her #and it didn’t matter that it would probably seem so insignificant to someone else because the revelation meant so much to him #he was holding tangible proof of a moment in time when he was happy with his family and was held and loved by his own mother everyday #and he’s caught between elation and heartbreak aND I !! CAN’T ! DEAL!! WITH THIS !!!!

the Hogwarts teachers were my favourite part of the books remember in CoS when they were so sick of Lockhart that they chased him out of the staffroom by reminding him he’d said he could kill Slytherin’s monster in seconds, remember in OotP when they couldn’t tell Harry they approved of his interview so they did wildly extravagant favours for him, like giving him twenty house points for passing a watering can, or bursting into tears and announcing that he’d live a long and happy life? on that note remember how much McGonagall disliked Trelawney and all her little digs, and remember how she ran forward to brace Trelawney as she was being kicked out by Umbridge? remember how McGonagall ran out to defend Hagrid from trained Aurors with nothing but her words and took four Stunning Spells to the chest? remember when she told Peeves how to unscrew the chandelier? i could go on about McGonagall especially for days but i love all of them so much

fun fact: the anon feature on asks is meant for shy people who want to send nice asks, not for disgusting people who have nothing better to do.

you deserve the universe and I’m just a star

been thinking a lot lately about why so many of us are deeply attached to remus and for me, i think it’s because he was what i wanted from my teachers. he was practical; his lessons were fun and he was never cruel to students; he was supportive and gave harry extra instruction when he needed it but boundaries were mostly maintained, and you never doubted that remus was an adult, someone you could count on if you were in trouble and that would respect you and speak to you like a person but still knew you were a child and didn’t expect anything of you beyond that.

and then you add to that what fandom built, the hurt and the betrayal after sirius was gone, the marauders history that j.k. will never quite get right; the way he jokes and makes off-color innuendo that is just this side of subtle; the worn elbows on his jumpers and his abiding love of chocolate that means so much more than just recovering from a dementor encounter; the way he gets nauseous when he’s nervous and the way he was never quite able to let go of the hope that his friend did not betray him.

the books gave us this incredibly sympathetic adult that we believed would believe in us, and we took him and spun his history into this thing we knew he had to have, something quiet and aching that resulted in a man who would always be there if you needed him. it’s so important to me that remus’ history is traumatic and yet he became such a caring person, someone with so much love in his heart and who wants with every ounce of him to be good despite the darkness he didn’t ask for.

he became one of the most absurdly admirable people in canon, not just because he was kind and gentle and good, but also because he had every reason to be callous and cruel, and i think it means so much to us because we want that for ourselves.

My heart just melted. That’s exactly the reason why I’m so attached to him.

I always think about 4 year old remus lupin transforming for the first time and get really sad but then i think of him as a little puff ball werewolf who can’t even howl yet and I get really happy
