in an alternative universe, sirius black asks law student!marlene to defend him in court after the attack at the potters. not much changes from canon in the end, but it was the funniest trial ever held 🔝

lines that i sadly had to leave out:

“your honour…do you have a younger sister?”

“your honour, my client was the victim’s homie he wouldn’t do it believe me”

“your honour, look at him, he’s such a good boy!” *shows sirius as padfoot*

Tongue-tied

I'm alive! I'm back! I remembered to make time to write!

Written for @wolfstarmicrofic prompt April 23 - Teacher AU (562 words)

James sipped his drink slowly, waiting for Lily to arrive so he could meet her new coworker. Honestly, he was intrigued about the guy, having heard so much about him from his girlfriend and brother.

Hogwarts High's new English Lit teacher had been the subject of discussion between the three of them for weeks now. He and Lily apparently got on like a house on fire, and he had a curious effect on Sirius, which sparked James's curiosity.

Sirius Black, PhD in astrophysics, voted best teacher for three years running by his students, known in every bar in London for his charm, apparently lost every ounce of charisma that had earned him his reputation when talking to this Remus guy. Lily had told James all about it, how Renus had introduced himself and offered Sirius a handshake only for Sirius to bat his hand away in some kind of aborted high five, how Remus had come to Sirius's class to borrow a stapler and Sirius had spilt coffee down his shirt. Any time Remus entered the room, Sirius seemed to lose his ability to speak or control his limbs, and every time Lily spoke about him, Sirius's face turned bright red. Whoever this guy was, he must be incredibly intimidating or beautiful. There was no other explanation.

The door opened to reveal Lily, who made her way over to James and greeted him with a kiss on the cheek before heading to the bar to order. James turned to her companion as she left and introduced himself as Remus sat across from him. Immediately, James was wondering if it was possible that two Remus's had joined the Hogwarts staff.

The man in front of him was cute. His golden curls looked soft and fell into his eyes. He had a nice smile and seemed friendly, but he wasn't exactly what James expected. He was a bit too skinny, a bit lanky, and he dressed a bit like James's dad in a green sweater with elbow patches. Frankly, Remus was the least intimidating person James had ever met and while he was attractive, there was certainly nothing extraordinary about his looks. Or at least, nothing that would make Sirius act like such a fool, not in James's eyes. James was baffled, beginning to wonder if Lily had been pulling his leg with all her stories.

And then Sirius arrived.

He walked through the door with his usual grace, fixing his hair and tugging off his scarf. He spotted Lily and twirled her around as he complimented her outfit. He had a drink in his hand within seconds of reaching the busy bar and linked his arm with Lily's to head to the table. And then he spotted Remus. As Remus raised a hand to wave, Sirius stumbled over his feet, tripping into a waitress, who was luckily empty-handed, and nearly spilling his drink. Lily, thankfully, saved him and dragged him towards the table as he offered a stuttered apology to the waitress.

He ran a hand through his hair nervously as he sat down and greeted Remus. James recognised the gesture immediately from himself, sixteen and flustered by red hair and green eyes. He wasn't sure why exactly, but for whatever reason, Remus had done what James thought was impossible for almost two decades: he'd gotten Sirius to fall in love with him.

The Favourite

I did it! I wrote something! Evans sister angst below the cut :)

It wasn't that their parents preferred Lily. Petunia knew that. They didn't have a favourite, they always said so, and she believed them. If anything, they gave her more attention. Lily was away most of the year, and she was at home, so she got to talk to them every day about her life and get their advice first hand.

But Lily's life was more interesting, and they'd stop everything when one of Lily's letter arrived to answer her, even if Petunia was busy talking. Even if she was upset.

She'd started to hate the owls. She knew it wasn't their fault, had even found them beautiful at first, but now she couldn't help it. She sometimes wondered if Lily knew, somehow, that her sister was in need before she sent a letter. They always seemed to come on Petunia's worst days: the day her first boyfriend broke up with her, the day she had a fight with her best friend, the day she failed her first test. And now the day she heard back from uni. The envelope for her dream school was sitting in front of her on the kitchen table, and her parents were in the living room, reading Lily-darling's letter about her new boyfriend out loud and gushing about how sweet this James guy sounded.

She wondered if they ever spoke about Vernon that way. She doubted it.

The envelope was small. Too small, she thought, to contain an acceptance letter. Acceptance letters came with welcome packs. They needed big envelopes to contain all the excitement and paperwork. Rejections came in small envelopes. They didn't need all that space.

When she was a kid, she had dreamed of going to uni with Lily. She would be a year ahead, studying journalism, and Lily would follow to do her chemistry degree. Petunia never had the brain for science, but Lily did. They would have shared an apartment off campus, and walk to class together.

Now, she was going off on her own (if she even got in). Lily would go to some magic school with her awful friends and forget all about her sister. This would be the rest of Petunia's life. Maybe she'd go to uni, and her parents would drop her letters for Lily's, and she'd come home every summer to hear about spells and potions and no one would care about her stories. Or maybe she'd be stuck at home, working some boring job while Lily did whatever amazing thing she was doing.

At this point, it didn't really matter what the letter said. The only difference would be the place she felt ignored from, and a dorm room wasn't much better than her bedroom anyway.

She'd wait for her parents. They'd return soon, probably. As soon as the owl was gone, they'd come back and open the letter for her and her dad would hug her no matter what it said. She just had to wait a bit.

Just a little longer.

@wolfstarmicrofic March 17 – prompt 17: Incarcerous – word count 776

Incarcerous - Conjures ropes

Sirius had been running for the whole night. He had run so much he was now back in London, amidst the morning crowds of November first. As Padfoot, he was dodging people, making others trip, once even scaring off a tabby cat, but he was still running, snout on the ground, following a specific scent. Then, on a busy street, there it was. The scent he had been following melting into another, both achingly familiar, and a figure hurrying away with his head bent. Sirius transformed back, ignoring the fact that Muggles around could see him.

“WORMTAIL!” he shouted.

People around him hurried past, others shot confused looks a this raised wand, but Sirius was only focused on one man, the one who was now turning around, eyes which had been too familiar for years settling on his. Sirius knew James would have asked why, would have waited to hear it from Peter’s voice. But Sirius wasn’t James. And James wasn’t there. He never would be anywhere anymore, and it was because of Peter. He pointed his wand at his old friend, the one he had shared so many years with. Peter too had his wand at the ready, and before Sirius could do anything, he started screaming.

“Lily and James, Sirius!”

Sirius felt those names said by that voice hit him like a punch.

“Lily and James, Sirius!” Peter screamed again. “How could you?!”

Weirdly, Sirius laughed. He could see now how clever the man that had betrayed his childhood best friend was. The Muggles around were now stopping to look at them, a laughing man and a screaming, trembling one. Oh, that would look good later on, he could see it. Framed and put away with the rest of his awful blood family, as if all those years had never happened. Very clever, really.

“How could you?!” Peter added a sob at the end of his scream, which made Sirius laugh even harder.

“INCARCEROUS! PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!”

Sirius’s laugh was cut short as he fell to the ground, arms and legs bound by ropes. In front of him, Peter too had fallen down, eyes wide and still as a statue.

“Tell me it isn’t true,” a voice said. “Tell me I didn’t waste seven years believing in you.”

Sirius twisted his neck only to see a hand brandishing a wand.

“Not in me,” he whispered. “Never in me, Professor.”

Above him, Minerva McGonagall’s face was unpenetrable, despite her red eyes as if she had just stopped crying.

“Explain yourself,” she said as if he was still a teenager and she had just caught him in the middle of a prank.

“We swapped. It was James’s idea, to swap Secret Keeper,” he said, words tumbling down from his mouth. “We thought they would come after me, but we didn’t know they had gotten to him first. He’s the spy in the Order, Professor, believe me! He’s an Animagus, don’t let him turn into a rat and escape, please!”

“I know,” McGonagall said. “Why do you think I petrified him? Besides,” she moved over to Peter and knelt down. “It’s easier to do this this way.”

Sirius already knew what he would see, but still the Dark Mark appearing on his friend’s forearm made his stomach twist. He saw McGonagall briefly close her eyes before she got back up and moved her wand, making the ropes binding him disappear.

“I’m sorry I doubted you,” she said.

“I doubted me too,” Sirius got up. “I was going to kill him, Professor. I was.”

“I understand. But no murder for you, Mr Black. You have a godson to care for now.”

“Harry,” Sirius breathed, the thought of the baby popping into his head shamefully for the first time since the previous night. “Where is he?”

“I brought him to Mr Lupin before tracking you down. Needless to tell you he’s beside himself with grief and worry,” McGonagall said. “You should go to them now, the Aurors will be here soon to take care of all this.”

Sirius nodded.

“Thank you, Professor,” he said, picking up his wand.

“Sirius?”

“Yes?”

Despite her pained expression and her hand still gripping her wand tightly, McGonagall’s eyes were warm.

“I never asked you for anything, but… I think it’s time you settled down now. You have a child to raise, and if my rounds passing the several hidden cupboards in the Hogwarts corridors all those years taught me something, it’s you also have a boyfriend who loves you very much. Do it for them, please.”

“I promise,” Sirius nodded. “We’ll have you over at least once a week for tea,” he added before Disapparating.

It really just occured to me that i have never seen any modern era marauders interpretations where they are giant dorks who are ridiculously skilled in stuff, like for example computer science. i mean they probably created the modern version of the marauders map by cracking the coding of the entry card/security system of the campus and using the data for a special app that they designed which can only be opened with their touch IDs. i mean that’s pretty much what the marauders map is in today’s tech-driven context, isn’t it?
