i’ve always pictured remus have a very strange childhood since he was halfblood. i imagines that his mother wanted him to have a relatively normal muggle childhood, whereas his father wanted him to learn about the wizarding world as young as possible. this resulted in him being VERY confused about what was from the muggle world and what was from the wizarding world. including,

remus thinking everyone used floo powder to get places

remus trying to use a pencil as a wand since they looked so similar

remus asking james and peter about their favourite band and being surprised that they didn’t say the beatles

remus asking his friends in muggle school if they wanted some of his bertie botts every flavour bean and not understanding why they chose red (the colour most commonly associated with tomato, raw meat and blood in this candy) even though they told him red tastes like cherries

remus bringing floo powder to school and throwing it in their trash bin, then yelling “LONDON” then being confused why his parents got a call that evening to talk about his “disruptive behaviour”

remus watching muggle movies, like rudolph the red nose reindeer, then wanting to show them to james and sirius when they visited over the summer but they couldn’t watch it because they were afraid of the moving pictures in the living room

remus and peter teaming up to prank james and sirius with muggle objects like brooms, cassettes, lamps and erasers

ugh i love this skskksks

kid marauders

if the marauders were that insane as teenagers, imagine them as seven or eight year olds oh my god

james thought he could fly so he made wings out of cardboard and jumped off his dining table, breaking his foot

sirius tried to run away from home because regulus called him stupid but he only got to the end of the street before he realized he was hungry and wanted a sandwhich

remus went to primary school and when he’d miss a couple days each month (around the full moon) he told everyone he was a super hero

peter played hide and seek and hid in a cupboard, where he stayed for five hours

james once cried to his mum and dad because he thought he forgot to breathe

sirius flew down stairs in empty hampers

peter tried to sharpen his pinky finger nail in a pencil sharpener, TWICE

remus mixed water with the floo powder by the fireplace, which was an Experience for his father when he tried to get to work the next day

[raenclaw]

my favourite thing about the marauders & lily is the fact that there’s barely any canon information so i can say whatever i want and no one can tell me it goes against canon because WHAT CANON, for example,

james was friends with the giant squid (his name was larry)

sirius was absolutely GARBAGE at math so he invented a spell to do his arithmetic homework for him

remus wore the same sweater every day for all of 5th year he just magically changed the colour

peter dyed his hair blue for halloween ‘73

lily wanted to be a ballerina when she was 6

james didn’t eat anything but pasta for two years because sirius put polyjuice potion with snape’s hair in it and james had to go to transfiguration looking like his biggest enemy

sirius wore a jean jacket with jeans on his first date with remus

remus could sing opera songs like it was nobody’s business

peter wore clown shoes as often as possible

lily spent a lot of time in the kitchens and all of the houses elves were very interested in this boy named james and what he was going to do next

james, sirius, remus and peter started a band called “the moxy boys” and they had one great hit

lily baked a cake but added salted slugs instead of baking powder (a very common mistake,)

james gave peter pot brownies before his owl exams (surprisingly peter got straight E’s)

remus snuck a computer into hogwarts and upon trying to use it, it exploded and set his bed’s curtains on fire

sirius built a huge mansion in the countryside and found a bunch of house elves to take care of it. on his off days from the order, he travelled up there and spent as much time as possible with his cat, sir pepperton

lily was a science nerd when she was 10, so once she got to hogwarts and started learning potions, she immediately tried to make rocket fuel so she could go to the moon

and there’s literally no canon information telling me that this didn’t happen

I hope I give off the vibe to all animals that I am their ally and friend

“I DON’T CARE!” Harry yelled at them, snatching up a lunascope and throwing it into the fireplace. “I’VE HAD ENOUGH, I’VE SEEN ENOUGH, I WANT OUT, I WANT IT TO END, I DON’T CARE ANYMORE!”

“You do care,” said Dumbledore. He had not flinched or made a single move to stop Harry demolishing his office. His expression was calm, almost detached. “You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.” 

[raenclaw]

‘There’s the silver lining I’ve been looking for’, she whispered, and then she was kissing him as she had never kissed him before, and Harry was kissing her back.

happy birthday, sabrina! ♡

How the lily blooms

Lily pregnant:

Craves all kinds of muggle foods leaving James in a constant confused panic in muggle grocers.

Sings to her belly every night.

Crying over everything. Like James comes home one night and she’s standing in the hallway with her head against the wall tears running down her cheeks because she couldn’t reach to tie her sneakers to take the trash out. Then she was so tired from trying she couldn’t get them off.

James tries so hard not to laugh, and he can usually stop himself because when he does 9/10 it doesn’t make it better.

Sleeping is so hard and she often sleeps on the couch in some ridiculous position with Padfoot curled up on her stomach because that’s the only way Harry stops moving. Ever.

Lily with a newborn:

Always a hot mess. Always.

Still cries over everything like not being able to find Harry’s blanket to burp him. James quietly points out its on her shoulder.

Still sings to Harry every night.

Sleeps in the rocking chair in the nursery many nights.

Lily with a toddler:

“DON’T touch that, Harry James Potter, okay fine, just don’t eat it, please? .. no I said DON’T eat it!”

Constantly telling the boys not to fuss over him so bad when he tumbles, he is looking for a reaction.

But in private coddles and kisses his every bump and mark better.

Still sings to him every night after James reads him a bedtime story.

James, lily and their cat join Harry for his bedtime routine every night.

Lily with a impatient ten year old:

Having to remind him every day how long until his eleventh birthday.

Constantly cleaning up Harry’s messes, his obviously very strong accidental magic accidents.

Breaking up group chats where James, Sirius, Remus and Peter all tell Harry stories about their time at Hogwarts.

“Don’t listen to your dad and uncles, you’ll be mum’s good boy right? Right, Harry?”

Listening to Harry ask questions about Hogwarts and say things like “and when auntie Minnie, oh I mean, rem, professor McGonagall” knowing this little boy will have a very special time.

Still sings to him, usually against his will, every night. Sometimes once he’s already asleep.

Lily with a seventh year:

“Harry James Potter, you did what in your dorm room!?”

“Harry winning the first game of the year? And within the first ten minutes!? We are so proud of you!”

“Harry auntie Minnie wrote to tell me about your excellency in defense, my Wonderful boy”

Stands in his room each night before bed and quietly sings his favorite lullaby before turning out the light to go find her husband.

Lily with an auror in training:

“Oh James, why haven’t we heard from him, I hate worrying but couldn’t he have been a herbologist like Neville?”

James constantly reminding her that there is no true danger to the wizarding world and he’s just busy.

Harry calling home and pretending not to hear the utter panic in his mum’s voice while reassuring her he’s just fine.

Holding the phone to her chest each time she says goodbye and silently singing that same favorite lullaby.

Lily on his wedding day:

Fretting over every last detail to the point she almost walked into the wedding in her pajamas.

Doing up Harry’s cufflinks and kissing his cheek before going to find her seat.

Spinning around the dance floor holding her favorite human close.

The song ends and a clip of Lily singing Harry’s favorite lullaby plays over the speakers. A clip James had taped without Lily knowing. Harry pushes his forehead against his mum’s as they finish the dance her eyes filling with tears.

Lily with grandchildren:

Spoiling them every chance she gets.

Sleepovers with each of them individually. Doing makeovers. Having pretend duels running around the house and dodging behind furniture.

Falling asleep with a newborn on her chest while a very tired Ginny gets a little shut eye.

Singing that same lullaby to her little one’s every chance she gets.

One night little James tells her that “that’s Daddy’s song nan” explaining to her that Daddy sings it to him each and every night.

Standing on the platform as her last little darling kisses her and says “I’ll see you at Christmas nan, I love you”
