the people of the marauders era (requested by: @reneewallkers)

they were yells during quidditch and group hugs after. they were ongoing inside jokes and constant bickering. they were relentless fights ‘til the end and patching up wounds. they were keeping secrets and being honest. they were quiet nights in the common room and loud strides down the hallways.. they were a family. a family made of love and friendship. a family that no one but death could break apart.

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’

Nightmares and Falling in Love.

It was dark, so dark all you could make out were shapes that moved in the dark. Not that anything was actually moving, Marlene assumed she was alone. Not many people would stay with the person they had tied up. She was currently tied to something, she wasn’t sure what it was, a pole of some sort, he hands behind her back, every time she moved her hands her wrists burned as whatever was holding her to the pole cut into her wrists, she could feel her blood running down her fingers.
It was freezing and damp, there was a drip of water steadily dripping down her back, her clothes clung to her, the damp have gotten into them, she smell in– wherever she was– was awful, the kind of smell that really stuck up your nose. Really sulphurous, it made her eyes water and caused her to gag. Marlene couldn’t remember what had happened, or where she was, no matter how much she tried she was drawing a blank. She knew she was hurt, she could feel the pain in her legs and her entire body felt like it had been sliced at my a thousand tiny shards of glass.
The only thing she could think that had happened to her was that maybe the death eaters had taken her, maybe they had taken her like they took her mother— As if on cue a door opened in front of her the harsh light that erupted from it hurting her eyes, she squinted trying to focus her eyes to see what was going on. Eventually a silhouette covered the door way, it looked male and tall with wide shoulders, he looked as if he were hunched over, almost. It was a really strange sight. As the man drew closer the door closed and he disappeared into the darkness.

Sirius’ girlfriend gets jealous over his and Lily’s friendship, for anon.

“There he is!” Marlene said cheerfully as Sirius’ motorbike came roaring towards them. Sirius heaved it on one heel as he drove, Making her heart heave in her chest as well. The forewheel met the ground after a short while and he took a spin on the left, stopping right in front of them.

“Wotcher, ladies!”

“Do you always have to show off?” Lily asked, rolling her eyes.

“Always in front of my two favorite girls.” He winked at her.

Marlene glanced at Lily, her smile frozen.

“So, what d’you think of my new baby?” He asked, patting the bike affectionately.

“Oh, she’s lovely.” Marlene said, raising an eyebrow.

“I know right?” Sirius looked up at the girls, smirking. “Who’s up for a ride?”

“Why n…”

“Sure!” Lily cut Marlene off excitedly. “Only if you don’t mind, Marls. I have to come back soon to meet James anyway, we won’t be long!”

Sirius checked Marlene’s reaction. She nodded, but as soon as Lily had looked away, her smile vanished.

“Hey, Lils, you know what? I’m going to lend it to Prongs as soon as I’m back, so he can take you for a ride.” He glanced at Marlene. “Come on, baby. I hope you like speed.”

Marlene’s eyes widened, and she glanced at Lily.

“What are you waiting for !” Lily rolled her eyes, and smiled. “Have fun, you two, and no hanky-panky!”

“We’ll do our best to behave.” Sirius mumbled as Marlene climbed behind him, wrapping her arms around his chest.

“Why didn’t you pick Lily?” She asked once her friend was out of earshot.

“I didn’t have to pick, Marls.” He said, making the bike roar again.  “It’s always you.”

“Right.”

“Jealous?” He turned to look at her, smirking.

“Fuck off, Black.” She blushed.

He laughed, and they hit the road.

James is soooo going to kill you for taking me to this.”

“Ah, it’ll be worth it, Blondie. Here, you’ve got some paint right…..there….”

“What? Where?”

“On your mouth. Don’t worry, I’ll get it.”

-Sirius Black kissing is girlfriend, Marlene McKinnon, while the two attended a New Year’s Eve party in Glasgow that got a little….colorful, right after which he was accused by the blonde of being “a sly little fellow”.

-Taken by company Dorcas Meadowes, who figured that if this was Sirius’ last night alive, it might as well be documented.

-Circa 1976, Sixth Year.

See, James, this view is gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. Wasn’t it worth waking up for?”

“If by ‘waking up for’, you mean being jumped on at four in the morning by an eccentric blonde, then kidnapped, thrown a jacket, and dragged up some unknown mountain when it was still pitch black outside….then yes, yes it was.”

-James Potter and Marlene McKinnon (said kidnapper), watching the sunrise atop a mountain peak miles away from Hogwarts, because Marlene was determined to still have beauty, even in the midst of a war.

-Taken by a camera which Marlene had accidentally charmed, when jumping on James.

-Circa 1976, Sixth Year.
