Harry was a soft kisser. No matter for how long he kissed though, he could always make the kiss seem like it lasted for centuries. He hugged Ginny like she was the only thing keeping him from falling into some pitch black abyss without an end, he held her in his arms — literally — because she was so short, and he so tall. Her mouth felt soft too, but also on fire. She loved jumping on him right after he’s gotten off his broom and kissing his cold lips, passing her fire to him; it felt like breathing flames.

Remus Lupin

heterochromia. I don't care what the films say this man has two different coloured eyes tyvm. the left ones dark brown, nearly black, and the right is a light shade of amber.

DYSLEXIA !! my dyslexic little mate we can match. he absolutely adores reading but it takes him longer if he doesn't use a spell (ty to MsKingBean89 for the spell idea mon ami(e))

hEDS. me too king

cat lover. he absolutely adores cats and sirius gets SO jealous. I think he absolutely owned a cat at some point b4 he started teaching and he dotted on that cat

wears elastics on his wrists (specifically during hogwarts for sirius and lily, but kept wearing them after out of habit </3)

Sirius Black

hard of hearing. I think he probably lost it cos his mum hit his ears or screamed so often at him in close quarters. he'd definitely be vv resentful over it too cos now he's not able to listen to music much

audhd fr. this man was definitely neurodivergent but he must be just like me and be autistic and have adhd cos yh

he whined. loads. not like whinging but like genuinely high pitched whines when he was frightened or upset, kind of like Enid from Wednesday

adored kids but was terrified to have them because of how his mum was

this is gonna be controversial but idc. this man absolutely fancied Remus when he was shagging women, but at one point dated Marlene and Remus at the same time. it's ok tho cos Marlene was kissing Mary on the side

James Potter

vegetarian. refused to eat meat after he became an animagus because it felt cruel, but ESPECIALLY wouldn't eat deer jerky ("it's practically cannibalism, padfoot!")

mama's boy through and through !! this man LOVED his mummy. told her all about his friends and Lily

taught Sirius how to treat people and house elves better when they were first years. you can't tell me this man wasn't the reason sirius wanted to improve himself

he fought w sirius a lot. im sorry I love them both but brothers fight and like. even found family brothers. sirius is the most petty bitch you cannot tell me that James didn't get annoyed or frustrated with some of Sirius' habits and didn't begin arguments over them

so bad w kids until Harry. he was absolutely terrified of them, cos he never had interacted with them much before he had his own, my man Sucked at babysitting and frequently panicked whilst lily was pregnant because he was scared he'd be a bad parent

Peter Pettigrew

#1 James fan. my guy didn't go anywhere if James wasn't going to be there

become You Know because of his jealousy of James and Sirius' friendship

aroace fr. absolutely Disgusted w the amount of PDA by jily and wolfstar

tried to protect Harry for as long as he could w out being suspicious. he still loved James and Lily, and their son, and was just too scared to fight back at You Know Who once James and Lily were dead

a whole virgin, never even tried getting with anyone before he realised he was aroace

Lily Potter (Evans)

actually thought the Marauders were pretty funny but put on a face because of being friends with Snape

a whole pansexual queen

bought everyone in Gryffindor Christmas gifts, or if they were Jewish/Muslim/any other religion that doesn't celebrate Christmas she'd figure out when their holiday was and got them gifts

first person Remus came out to. and she accepted him immediately because she knows what it feels like to be an outcast

so autistic. her special interest was absolutely Jane Austen books I take no criticism <3

Regulus Black

hated his mum just as much as Sirius, but actively tried to conform because he was too scared to be hurt by her

was angry with Sirius for running away, even if he understood why Sirius did it, it still hurt him immensely. that was his older brother, the only one he could talk to, and when he left, it broke off the little bit of familial love he had left

in love w Barty Crouch Jr. I DO NOT CARE. platonic my aSS they were boyfriends, but they hid it very well. absolutely such a healthy couple before the war though. got together when they were 13 or 14 by accident, and stayed together until Reg died

actually really enjoyed being called Reg and Reggie, but pretended to hate it so he wouldn't be perceived as weak or soft by his mum

chess fucking champion

Marlene McKinnon

the flirtiest person you'll ever meet. flirted with everyone but was actually an aromantic lesbian

loved her family unconditionally, and constantly was going home on weekends to help her mum before she died of breast cancer

hated school, she was dyslexic and never told anyone so everyone just thought she was a dumb blonde

half Japanese, but her biological father left when she was a baby, so she wasn't really in tune with that part of her culture.

got bullied in primary school for being the "only dumb Asian"

Mary Macdonald

the most supportive person you'll ever meet

helped the younger POC in Gryffindor take care of their hair properly, and absolutely was like an older sister to all the young girls

not a mean bone her body

muggle born, but she grew up with a friend that had a wizard father so she knew about magic before Hogwarts

terrified of Narcissa and Bellatrix, but was one of the bridesmaids at Bellatrix's wedding

Ravenclaw, but best friends with Dorcas, Regulus, Barty, and Evan and was hardly if ever in her own common room

super protective over Pandora and Dorcas

had the worst penmanship and Regulus and Barty both refused to help him with homework because of it

managed to be the only Slytherin who sucked at potions

Barty Crouch Jr.

gay little lad with gay handwriting

LOVED cats. this man was the BIGGEST cat lover I do not care im right ur wrong. absolutely adored them

had a little sister who he was really protective over, she was in Hufflepuff and died during her 4th year which is what made him follow Regulus into joining up w the Death Eaters

daddy and mummy issues for days. bro never had a civil conversation w them

After much trial and error, I finally like the colors :D

regulus going to sirius' old room in the hopes of finding something of sirius' to wear, to hold onto. he finds an dark brown jacket and a yellow-y gold jumper that he keeps and wears just to feel close to sirius again, to feel like sirius is still there with him.

"You're ripped at every edge, but you're a masterpiece"

I agree!! I 100% headcanon that the marauders smoked because like you say they were teen boys in the 70s.

Here’s my hcs on the marauders + reader smoking at school:

• Sirius started first, he knew it would anger his mother and he loved doing things to piss her off. He only smoked occasionally though to start with.

• Remus was the first one to do it habitually. He stole a pack from his dad after a rough full moon once. It became his routine after that, smoking a cig to calm down while his whole body hurt from the transformation.

• Peter tried them next. It was at a Gryffindor party and he wanted to look cool. He picked it up surprisingly easily.

Sirius and Regulus’ grandfather Arcturus sweeps on scene while Regulus is still in St Mungos because an incident like this is Too Severe to go away with money and threats, and so he takes in both boys because if you’re casting Unforgivables at your children you probably shouldn’t be a parent???

Regulus and Sirius grow up far more well adjusted - though Sirius is still stifled by the world of upper Pureblooded society and Regulus still struggles because of his #trauma - and though Sirius still moves in with the Potters at 16, it’s an amicable split from his family and Regulus is only upset with him for as long as it takes him to pick up on how much easier it is to study without Sirius running shrieking through the corridors.

Regulus gets on reasonably well with the Marauders & Co - especially Remus, and by extension especially Lily - and has a great big Faerie Hound as a guide dog to help him around the school.

Key points:

-A blind Regulus, while still reserved bc that’s the kind of person he is, has never had to learn how to school his expressions, and so he smiles a lot more openly, and makes faces when he’d annoyed, and when he starts Fifth Year and everyone has the revelation that he’s kind of hot, actually, this becomes a Problem.

-He makes endless blind jokes, and then feigns outrage when other people try to make them back. He thinks he’s very funny. Sirius wishes he’d stop.

-Pandora helps him invent a bunch of accessibility spells; ones that turn textbooks into braille, ones that will read text aloud for him. When the Marauders make the map, Remus uses one of hers and Regulus’ charms for the corridor mapping, one that in its original form helped Regulus keep track of where he was in the castle at any one time.

-At every Sorting he plays a game with Barty where Barty will describe an incoming First Year laughably incorrectly - sixteen feet tall, blue hair, fourteen eyes, that sort of thing - and Regulus will guess which House they’re going to be Sorted into. He’s yet to be wrong. It drives Barty crazy.

-All his friends pick up the habit of telling him before they’re going to touch him, and announcing what they’re doing whenever they move around a room, to the point that they all do it when Regulus isn’t there too. When Dorcas and Marlene start dating Dorcas always prefaces reaching for Marlene with ‘I’m going to touch you’ and it never fails to make Marlene go bright pink.

-Lily picks up on the fact that when he teases people and it makes them blush, he’s always delighted when someone tells him; so when they spend time together, whenever he makes her go pink, she holds his hand against her cheek so he can feel the warmth. It never fails to make him ridiculously happy.

-When his friends drag him to Quidditch matches he does running commentary based on what he can hear, which leads to some funny moments like James almost getting hit by a bludger, and the crowd going ‘oooh’, only for Regulus to commentate ‘that sounded like a near miss from a bludger. Sirius Black’s terrible aim strikes again; will he ever hit his mark?’ and twenty feet above him (because Barty cast a sonorous charm on him) Sirius throws his hands in the air in exasperation and almost drops his beaters bat.
