Harry knows a lot of languages, in theory, but he’s only fluent in English like;

He can completely understands Punjabi because that’s the Potters’ native language but he can’t quite grasp speaking it. He picks up French terms of endearments/cuss words from Regulus and Sirius. He knows welsh cuss words as well as philosophical translations because of Remus. He can playfully imitate Italian pick up lines because of Barty. He knows to hide when he hears Swahili because Dorcas only reverts back to it when she’s completely pissed at someone. But everyone around him speaks English the majority of the time, so that’s what he speaks.

Then he gets to Hogwarts and meets Draco Malfoy who can hold a conversation in just about any language someone speaks to him in and fuck, Harry never thought that French was romantic. He’s never seen Punjabi as alluring before. He didn’t consider Italian as attractive.

He spends the summer begging members of his family to teach him more of their languages so he can go back and prove to Draco that he is stupid in more than one language.

Rereading "Only the brave" from @solmussa got me crying in my bed at the break up i knew was coming since chapter 1.

Dorcas: How do I look?

Marlene: Tu eres magnífica.

Dorcas:

James: Mals, that spanish

Marlene, blushing: Du bist großartig

Peter: German, not even close.

Marlene: Fuck off!

James: and we are back to english!

Dorcas: Wait, how many languages you know?

Marlene: four, english, german, spanish and tagalog.

Dorcas: oh [starts mentally preparing the wedding venue]

Barty was a Casanova at Hogwarts, everyone wanted him and he gave them what they asked for, he promised nothing and delivered more than they could imagine. From his fifth to the first third of his seventh year he was always with girls, seen as straight by his friends. Except for Pandora and Dorcas, they knew that idiot better than he did. At a party Barty and Evan were too drunk and high to think about the consequences of their words, Evan's statements in French that Barty never understood but always stared at his lips to try to extract some meaning hypnotized him, Evan spells "Barty I want to kiss you so bad right now", Crouch doesn't wait, as dry as his throat when he hears it, he puts his lips on Evan's.

MARAUDERS&CO SNACKING HABIT

Sirius : They have a sweet tooth. Sirius often crave sugary snacks like candy, the fruity one hehe. They’re not against chocolate but don’t like caramel.

Remus : He loves chocolate obviously. But if there is no chocolate he prefers salty snacks.

James : He loves to cook big meals and enjoy eating them ! If he wants a snack he will choose crips over biscuits.

Peter : Everyone think he is team sugar snack because he bakes a lot (chocolate cake for Remus mostly). But he just loves to snack, no discrimination here. Although he will have salty snacks more often than sugar ones.

Dorcas : They love salty snacks !! Barty and her bicker a lot about there different taste. They’re favorite are wasabi peanut and she often trick Barty so he ends up eating it too (he hates it).

Pandora : She always have some food with her. But it’s vegetables and fruits. Like, she can be seen eating an entire tomato or cucumber, out of nowhere. Evan always need to reminds her to eat a proper meal because otherwise she will forget that raw fruits and vegetables are not consistant enough.

Lily : She loves all kind of sugary snacks. She steals out of Remus’ chocolate stack a lot (he thinks it’s Sirius) and Dora often gifts her some fruits.

Regulus : Wants everyone to think he is team salt but he is not fooling anyone with him caring around chocolate candy and biscuits in his bag.

Barty : Always has a gum in his mouth. He needs to occupies his tongue and if he is out of gum he suck on some caramel candy instead. This guy has a lot of cavity on his tooth…

Evan : He doesn’t really like to snack. Prefers meal that satisfy his hunger fully. He doesn’t like sugar very much and often say that Barty’s mouth as enough sugar for the both of them. If he eats sugar it’s because it’s a charlotte (cake with fromage blanc and fruits and biscuits like boudoirs).

Mary : She likes crips a lot. This is a problem. She likes potatoes, really. Anything made out of them and she is happy.

Marlene : She almost always have a can of monster or other drink like that with her. But she hates coca (she boycott it). And she likes to have some tête brûlée (candy that are very spicy) with it.

Does the entire marauders fandom agree that Regulus and Sirius speak french? (and that Sirius doesn't mention it at all)

Me, every couple weeks, going back to the same wip that hasn't been updated in almost a year, to reread the same 13 chapters and, silently, hope that a new chapter is on it's way, but I'd never leave a comment asking for a update cause I don't wanna make the author feel any pressure:

CW; allusions to sex, death and birth/ forbidden love/ unsupporting family.

His mother married a magic man

Which meant that he could pick a side

Would he follow his mother's tide

Or should He follow his father's wand 

Once the young boy picked his side

A foreign girl stole his heart

He promised her that they won't ever fall apart 

And vowed that one day Carmen shall become his bride

One fated noon

Under the light of the moon

They showed their love

As their ancestors scowled above

Mindless of the consequences a seed took root

And the ocean claimed a child anew

Learning that their families were only foes

They were quick to feel dread and woe

While his mom, the freest spirit could not care less,

as love was never in vain.

His lover's Mom thought it was just a shame

You are not allowed to speak to the likes of him again

said the foul mother

While the daughter cried at the thought of another

She came back one summer, only sadness covered her features

 For her mother said that her lover’s kin were

no more than gnarly creatures

Arranged to wed another Carmen was

All whilst she carried the sirens child

This fated man a puritan was

Unbeknownst that his bride to be was halfway from being beast

As the months passed her stomach grew

and Ronan’s child was almost due

Said man could only dream of what could have been

If only he would have refrained from commiting sin

One lone night, the siren went back to its mother’s arms

To receive the warmth the he once had

 A common man with no knowledge set a trap to kill this monster

While a pregnant Carmen scram wails of torment

The common man threw a spear at the moving current

 harming deeply the mourning siren

And as the ocean claimed its stranded child

A beautiful girl was held in her mother’s arms

His friends cried and mourned

There were once five and now four

Is this really how it must always go?

𖤐⭒๋࣭ ⭑ Thank you so much for getting this far, can't wait to continue this series!! If you'd like to be added to the taglist,let me know ♥︎
