‘Hermione, the attendees just survived a war,’ says Seamus impatiently. ‘I think they can survive a piss-up in a creepy old mansion.’

[padfootastic]

miss padfootastic, I would like you to tell me about the prongsfoot proposal. does Sirius propose? or does James? or do they both propose at the same time? is it fancy, or spontaneous? tell me all your thoughts!

hi miss imp!!! thank u for this question, i had a lot of fun w it 🙈🙈

so immediately my mind went to ‘marriage? huh?’ because i just. can’t see either j or s caring so much about a ritual when they’re also so intertwined. like they’re soulmates ykno?a piece of paper or a ceremony won’t make a lick of difference to their bond, right? but if there does have to be one, then i totally feel like it’ll be that ‘character A brings the ring out and character B bursts out in laughter bc they have one in their pocket as well’ thing

maybe something like,,, one day someone, one of their friends or a random person, makes this comment about how ‘you still haven’t put a ring on it? damn’ and it’s like this—james and sirius aren’t insecure about their relationship, not really (but there’s a part of sirius that always thinks james can do better and a part of james that’s worried he’ll be Too Much for sirius one day and he’ll leave) but both of them are pretty possessive. and they’ve seen how much others thirst over their partners and how desirable they are and all that.

so. both of them, simultaneously but parallel(ly?), buy rings and plan a whole proposal out bc 1. they don’t ever want their partner to think they’re not valued and/or wanted, 2. they want the world to know this is HIS person, 3. doesn’t want anyone pawing what’s theirs, and 4. likes the possessive branding aspect of it.

and then they’re just trying to find the perfect time to propose (bc they’ve overthought the shit out of this for no reason) but it just. doesn’t. happen until one day, james gets annoyed and just. sits sirius down in the middle of the kitchen and goes ‘listen, i think we should talk’ proceeding to share the wits out of sirius who’s like ??? what happened???

james is like no. this is important. and gets the ring box out. sirius is goggling at him, james proceeds to give an endearing, bumbling speech and hopefully holds the ring out, hazel eyes wide and imploring, body shaking a little from leaning all his weight (and muscle) on one knee for so long, and just. generally being a face no one can say no to ykno?

except,,,,sirius just goes ‘you absolute tosser’ and storms/runs out the room and now james is kneeling there, blinking, not knowing what just happened. was sirius crying? angry? hurt? what. enter two point six minutes later, james is literally still in the same position, and sirius is panting a little from the flights of stairs. he pushes the chair aside and kneels right in front of james, holding one of his hands and bringing his own (coincidentally matching) box out of his robe pocket.

now it’s james’ turn to goggle.

(spoiler: both of they say yes of course. when they go to announce it to their friends in the trad way of ‘he said yes!!’ all of them facepalm and give them a deadpan stark like duh, ofc he did)

There isn’t a single doubt that James Potter loves you.

You’ve been attached at the hip since training broomsticks and pinky swears in Godric’s Hollow. You accidentally call a boy ‘Jam’ once because of your childhood speech apraxia, and he swears you’re meant to be his best friend.

“Don’t worry, I can be loud enough for the both of us, peanut!”

Like peanut butter and jelly, you two were a perfect match– and even better partners in crime. When James puts his mind to something, he sees it through. So even if you were honestly unable to string the words together, who were you to say no?

Technically it’s somewhat official too, by whatever imaginary power was bestowed upon the Potter’s house elf for your very elaborate backyard fantasy wedding the two of you had when you were seven. All of your parents were in attendance, along with your cat and you all had blueberry cupcakes after your first and only kiss.

“Miss Mippy pronounces you huzbind and wife!”

Giggles are heard all around as the tiny elf tripped on her way off the stool, knocking both your heads together. James lost a front tooth that day, but he grinned for the pictures your mothers took anyway. Without a doubt, he loves you.

—

There wasn’t anyone at Hogwarts who would expect one of you to be present without the other following behind. You never had to hold back your smart mouth because James was always willing to finish your fights. The both of you were a package deal, with your number of protectors growing once Remus, Sirius, and Peter came along. It was not a routine you both consciously established, but rather second nature to be in each other’s lives. Like how you always made sure his glasses were clean before quidditch matches and he’d chuck his extra jersey at your face for you to wear.

“Stay warm during the game okay? I’ll see you later, love you!”

He skated around your waist, blowing a raspberry onto your cheek as he grabbed his glasses from your fingers.

“Don’t fall off your broom. Love you too, loser.” You’re already tugging his jersey over your head, inhaling his signature scent of broom polish, cinnamon, and Sleakeasy’s hair potion.

James smiled at you softly, before running to meet up with his team. After Gryffindor won again, he threw you over his shoulder and you laughed and yelled that he smelled like sweat. He always tucked you in his bed after parties, wrapping you in his arms once the lights go out. Without a doubt, he loves you.

—

Your friendship is stronger than most romantic relationships, and as your teenage years fly by, both of you realize how rare that is. He often took you to the kitchens to eat vanilla sundaes after boys broke your heart (and they got black eyes to match, courtesy of him and the entire Gryffindor Quidditch team) and you would listen to him, building him up and calming him down through years of pining over a certain Lily Evans. You were there for each other through everything, silly crushes, secret trysts, boring detentions, and highly esteemed accolades. If there ever were such a thing as soulmates, you knew it had to be him, even if it was platonic. Just being around someone as vibrant as James made you consider yourself lucky.

You once saw your best friend with his head in his hands on your way to a date—he was moping after a nasty prank on Snape went wrong; it ended in Lily crying and after defending her albeit quite boisterously in true James fashion, he still didn’t get the girl.

He gets up to see you walking down the corridor to meet him halfway, and before you even speak he rubs his eyes, posture shrinking as his towering frame melts into your embrace.

“Don’t know why I thought it’d be different this time,” he mumbles, and you gladly carry the weight of his heart.

“Let’s go swimming in the Black Lake, ” you say suddenly, rubbing his broad back in small circles.

“But peanut, you have a date in an hour! You’re all dolled up and pretty...”

“I’ll have more dates. You need me right now, jelly. I’ve got you.” His nickname makes you blush a little more than you should sometimes, so you only ever pull it out as a trick up your sleeve to make him feel better.

“Love you,” you whisper, brushing through the hair at the nape of his neck.

He breathes easily for the first time in hours, mouth curling up from its frown when he sees you walk straight into the lake water with your nicest clothes on, not even hesitating for a moment. Without a doubt, he loves you.

—

When James puts his mind to something, he sees it through. So years later, when your best friend asks you if you could go wedding ring shopping with him to propose to the love of his life, who were you to decline? I mean, who else would go with him?

“Come on, (Y/N). I need my best girl with me to make the biggest decision of my life.” he’s practically moaning, the man ever so dramatic as he’s sprawled across your couch.

“And why aren’t you dragging Sirius with you again?”

Your eyebrow is raised as you stand at his feet, lifting his burly legs for you to place yourself under and get comfortable.

“What does Sirius know about women? He’d tell me to get the shiniest one and leave!” James’ yells into your throw pillow, anguished at the thought. You pull it off his face, before he quietly admits, “I just want to get it right.”

“When are we going?” you answer, without missing a beat.

Later that week, the saleslady recommends a wide array of glimmering engagement bands, none of which are for you. But you let yourself fall into the fantasy of the what-ifs, flashing back to your flower crown and candy ring wedding, wondering if it could’ve been you getting proposed to by him in another life.

“Would you like to try a few on?” the saleslady asks, assuming you two are together.

“Show me and my girl your best. No price limit.” he grins.

And how dare she assume that, as he puts his head on your shoulder, whisking you around the store to look at stunning rings, fingers brushing, and the both of you being able to communicate clearly with no words spoken. James plays along with the saleslady, finally choosing a whimsical-looking diamond setting placed upon your left ring finger. You remind yourself it’s not yours. Your heart comes to a screeching halt and you can’t help but feel all of a sudden like he’s being mean.

After all, he’s not yours, not really.

There is a little bit of doubt now and a weird tightness in your chest that makes you think of the possibility that you’re in love with James Potter.

—

Like a good best friend, you help him plan his proposal. James’ love is loud, pulling all the stops, and preferring the grandest of gestures.

“James, you are not proposing to Lily with a flash mob.”

“But it would be so cool! After all, my heart dances every time I see her face.” he wiggles his eyebrows as he takes a sip of his butterbeer.

“Your heart might, but you, unfortunately, are the worst dancer I’ve ever seen.” You laugh, reaching over to tug the quill out of his hand, crossing it off his list. He pulls you into a headlock, kissing the side of your face teasingly.

“What would I ever do without you, peanut?”

You wipe James’ spit off your cheek, pushing his face away, blushing from his attention.

“Combust, probably.”

Your heart is dancing now too, and you realize that there isn’t a single doubt that you’re in love with your best friend.

—

You keep yourself busy in the month before his proposal. It hurt learning too many details, such as what flowers he wanted to order to bring out her eyes (pink and yellow tulips), and scouting out the perfect location on the beach he picked (next to the lighthouse you and him visited as kids), even down to how he’d convince Lily to wear white without being suspicious (honestly he just expected you to do him a favor for this one). But after seeing each other almost every day for more than half your life, he knew something was off when you became distant.

James shows up at your apartment, his key in hand, but he decides to knock anyway. The sound of the TV is muffled, lowering in volume until he hears your footsteps pad over to the door and it swings open. You’re in one of his old Quidditch sweaters and fluffy blue socks.

“Hey. Wasn’t expecting you to come by.” You smile timidly, as he leans against the doorframe peering down at you.

“Never used to have to tell you.”

“James...” you stutter, before awkwardly opening the door completely. He shuffles towards the couch, keeping his shoes on as he sits at the end, and there’s a certain tension in the air that frightens you. You’re not sure if you’ll come out of this one unscathed.

“Talk to me (Y/N). What’s been going on with you? You don’t answer my calls, you don’t write back, hell, I haven’t seen you in a month because you started deadbolting your door. Did I do something?”

Yes, James Potter. Ever so blunt and to the point, your favorite person in the world is sitting on your couch uncomfortable with the fact that you’re not comfortable around him anymore.

You fight back against your instincts to tell him what’s wrong, but the three words escape your mouth before you can even take a breath.

“I love you.”

It’s silent. The floor creaks as you shift your weight onto your other leg. You lock eyes with him for the first time that night, and so many things are going through your head that you hope he’s able to pick up on how you’ve been physically aching, carrying the weight of his love for Lily for years.

James looks like he’s about to shake his head, and you beat him to it. You don’t want pity, and he knows that, but he mutters a consolation into the air.

“It’ll pass.”

No, it won’t. Not this.

You think he knows that too. He smiles sadly, watching you turn shrinking into yourself. You never were good at thinking before you spoke. A tear drips down your cheek as you look at your socks again. Your love for him is too big and too loud for your chest cavity to handle. This love feels like dramatic choral music clashing and banging around in your ribs.

“I’m—”

“Don’t apologize. This one’s on me,” you say, stopping him before he finishes speaking.

Without a doubt, James Potter loves you. But he’s not in love with you.

“What I was going to say...is that I’m going to have to ask you not to show up to the engagement party. It’ll be better for the both of us. We can start again from there if you want... Peanut...”

The term of endearment hangs in the air. Your dancing heart was a ticking time bomb after all. The fragments hit your insides, tearing you apart as it combusts, and you realize that nothing will be the same after this.

James stands abruptly, shoving his hands in his pockets. He hesitates before he kisses your temple, and for some reason, this feels like a goodbye. After all, when James sets his mind on something, he sees it through. He’s been set on Lily for years.

You’re his best friend, he swears. And there are no words you can think of to deny that.

The End

“I don’t know what to say,” he said.

“It’s okay,” she replied. “I know what

we are— and I know what we’re not.”

[worldenough-and-time]

Okay but have we considered a marauders Practical Magic AU? (for spooky szn)

My pitch is that Remus and Lily are sister witches- Lily is Nicole Kidman (obviously) and Remus is Sandra Bullock. Lily runs off with Snape and Remus casts the “never fall in love” spell, and then years later Lily calls Remus in a panic because Snape is abusing her and so Remus goes to her and they “accidentally” kill Snape and then magic him back alive and then kill him again and bury him in the backyard.

And then private investigator duo Sirius and James come to town investigating Snape’s disappearance (possibly they are both girls in this or maybe just Sirius, we’re definitely doing sapphic Wolfstar, but I will abide hetero Jily) (also they are PI’s instead of cops because cops are not sexy)

Anyway of course they all fall in love and banish revenant Snape back to the spirit world and break generational curses and all that.

Let me know what you think!!!

the marauders with a shy girlfriend would include ⭑

a/n: i just really love the marauders and wanted to write some fluffy headcanons :)

james:

takes you a long time to open up to him

even though you’ve had the biggest crush on him since you met

he’s just

a LOT to handle

if you know what i mean

he does a lot of the talking

and you just like to listen

he likes to poke fun at you sometimes

“good morning guys!”

“merlin’s beard, she talks!”

“oh shut it potter”

but you’re not actually mad at him of course

after a long time

you start talking more and making jokes

he thinks you’re the funniest girl ever

and finally he asks you out

he won’t hesitate to stand up to anyone who calls you out for being quiet

especially malfoy who really likes to pick on you

“what’s the matter y/n? can’t talk? cat got your tongue?”

james hexed him and got a month of detention

but he says it was worth it cause you’re his girl

loves being alone with you

because then you’ll talk quite a bit

especially if it’s about something you love

he loves your voice

it calms him

in conclusion

james potter thinks you’re the cutest and is the luckiest man alive

sirius:

you met sirius through remus

and at first there was a lot of teasing and flirting from his end

“well well well if it isn’t my girl y/n”

every time you saw him it was something new

because he knew you wouldn’t protest

slowly, you began to become more fond of the boy

and sometimes you’d even flirt back

he thought you were adorable

and felt differently about you than any other girl he’s ever had a fling with

he finds himself really protective of you

and just wants you to be safe and happy and healthy

and will do anything to get that

he’ll also do anything to make you laugh

cause merlin, he loves that laugh

6th year, he asks you to the winter ball

and of course you say yes because it’s sirius orion black

but when you get there, you start to feel super overwhelmed

cause there’s just so many people

“y/n are you alright?”

“yeah yeah, it’s just-”

you don’t have to say anything else

he just knows

so he takes your hand and the two of you run off to the astronomy tower

you think he’s perfect after that

and when you start dating, your love for him just continues to grow every day

cause he treats you like a queen

and understands that you don’t always wanna talk

and that’s ok

cause he’s has more than enough to talk about

this boy is just so protective of you and it’s the sweetest thing ever

remus:

good old remus lupin

was so in love with you from the moment he met you

the two of you just understood each other in a way nobody else did

despite being completely smitten with each other

it took you guys quite a long time to officially get together

because of course, you were too shy to make the first move

and he was afraid you didn’t feel the same

but once y’all did get together??

remus couldn’t go a day without reminding you how much he loves you

not huge on pda but loves snuggling in the common room after everyone else went to sleep

lots and lots of study dates

especially during exam szn

never pressures you into talking or anything when you don’t feel like it

he’ll gladly just sit with you and chill

you’re always there to comfort him after a rough transformation

but he makes the boys promise to never let you near him when he’s transformed because he’s scared that he’ll hurt you

you two like reading together

then discussing the books over butterbeer at the three broomsticks

that is when you’re able to get away from james and sirius’ never ending teasing

you and remus have the purest relationship

i’m so soft

cinema 🎞📽: harry potter

i don't really know if this is going to be a rate shit bec for sure this will be a story time about me and celine, but i'll sort this under this category na lang din.

chinky and i planned to binge watch harry potter last year pa. i forgot kung anong month but i think its just around ber months ganun. she's a potterhead kasi. tapos ako, i'm not (nung di pa kami nagsstart magwatch ha). i can even remember pa nun, she dropped a reference joke abt harry potter. it's about sirius black. that time, i was just familiar with his name bec i havent watched it pa nga. well i watched the sorcerer's/philosopher's stone lang before tapos hindi ko kasi napanood na yung other films. idk why is that.

anyway, i'm loving harry potter so much. didn't even expect that i'll get hooked to it. idk why i'm hooked but ang interesting kasi ng storyline nila. like ako for example, im curious about harry's parents: lily and james potter. it feels like there's so much important shit kasi sa parents ni harry. i'm curious about their past. and then yung sa backstory din ng other characters (if ever na meron man). basta ang dami ko pa gusto malaman HAHA. ang ganda pa ng hogwarts! my favorite szn is the winter hogwarts. yung christmas. sobrang ganda sa dining hall nila. feast lagi ganun. tapos parang nakiki-coordinate rin yung hall na yun sa szn. if it's halloween, syempre halloween. if christmas, christmas. idk why but christmas hogwarts is the best talaga for me putangina ang solid bro. i wanna greet y'all a happy christmas! when it comes to characters, i love them all. sobrang nakakatawa mga reaction ni ron puta lalo pag there's spider. tapos yung intelligence ni hermione, sobrang nakaka attract. even tho they're risk takers, i love those wizards puta nila. idk why din but i think im starting to like snape. his aura is mysterious. dark. but pretty sure there's smth more to it. i also like professor mcgonagall! not because she's my family but she's so cool, she'll do anything to protect the risk takers lmao. i like the og albus as well. paka cute amputa. syempre i wont forget my wizard parents aka remus and sirius hAY BROOOO DJSJDJ. ang fave animals ko na rin dun si hedwig, fawkes tsaka buckbeak.

pang 4th film na kami ni chinky. goblet of fire na yung kasunod. sabi nila sobrang gumaganda na raw harry potter dito. like its amazing pero gaganda pa lalo. cant wait to watch it tho bec nacucurious ako. anyway, gustong gusto ko na si chinky kasama ko pag manonood kami hp. i dont wanna watch it alone kasi syempre we planned this before pa. even tho sometimes sinasabi niya na pwede ko naman na i-watch w/o her, ayoko. everything is more fun with her. like for example, nung di ko nagegets yung nangyayari sa isang scene sa prisoner of azkaban, she asked me if gusto ko raw ba na i-explain niya. and she did. sobrang na-soft ako nung ginagawa niya yun kasi she really wants me to understand the film. and i super love you for that, my love. here are some of the proofs why i love to watch any films with chinky:

[padfootastic]

exam szn is coming up which obviously means ore distractions, as everyone knows. so what better than to come back to tumblr lol so many tag games etc piling up that i wanna dooooooo

so. let’s have a lil snippet time!

thanks for the tag @in-flvx 💜 this one’s from a wip that was supposed to have been finished & posted for jilypad week but,,,,here we are,,,,,

“Sirius!” Lily exclaims. “We were looking for you.”

“Oh?” He presses a quick kiss to her cheek before bending down to pick Harry up, who immediately cuddles into his arms with a tired sigh. Poor baby, must’ve been exhausted by all the excitement at the beach.

“Yeah, regarding tonight—“ Sirius gulped quietly at the way she said that “—Your room is a bit…messy, I’m sorry. We were reorganising and well, y’know how it goes…”

She shrugs apologetically but all Sirius can think about is how she called it ‘his room’. Not the guest room, not the spare, but his room. Sirius’. He once again pushes past the mushy feelings that rise in him at that little distinction.

“Oh, it’s—it’s fine, I can just take the couch, no problem.” Even if his feet tend to hang off the end, and the edges are a bit lumpy, it’s fine. He resolutely doesn’t think about his comfortable Alaskan King at home.

“Of course you can’t!” Lily scowls at him. “We’re not gonna put you in a couch in your own house, Sirius.”

There it was again, the reference to him belonging here. It was a bit presumptuous, slightly possessive but Sirius was a dog at heart, he was never going to turn down ownership.

“Er—the nursery, then?” he asks, confused.

“What, crammed up in Harry’s crib beside him?” she says with a scoff, “Don’t be silly.”

Sirius blinks. “Where am I sleeping then?”

“With us, of course.” He jumps at the voice booming from behind him, clutching Harry tighter to his chest, whirling around to find James munching on a carrot.

“Where did you come from?” Sirius mutters under his breath before straightening up and saying, louder, “And what do you mean with you?”

“Well, like Lily said,” and here he sends a meaningful, entirely undecipherable, look towards his wife who…blushes? “Your room’s temporarily indisposed, the couch isn’t even an option—don’t give me that look, you barely fit on the thing—and the floor is gonna mess up your back worse than it is.”

“Oi!”

“So, our room it is.”

Right. Of course. Because that’s the obvious conclusions. How could he say no?

(Again, he can’t so he doesn’t)

It’s twenty minutes later, after Harry’s been put to bed, thoroughly kissed by his parents and godfather, after James is done with his nighttime turmeric milk and Lily’s put her hair up into braids and Sirius has taken out all his rings and chains and bracelets—that’s when he’s stumped by yet another problem.

How, exactly, are they going to sleep in one bed?

“We’re just going to expand it a little, Pads, don’t worry,” James says, supremely unconcerned.

He goggles at that, staring at the casual wand work. A part of him wonders why this is the extent of magic they’re using to solve this problem—James can conjure a bed Silenced, with his eyes closed—but promptly decides to not dwell on that for everyone’s sake.
