James: *Shouting at random dog* “COME ‘ERE YOU LITTLE BITCH” *Sees animagus form Sirius on the other of field* *Still shouting* “OH SHIT WRONG DOG! WRONG DOG!”

Sirius: “I’m gay and tired but I sure ain’t tired of being gay”

Remus: *halfway through eating third pack of digestive biscuits* “You know what. Fuck you guys!”

Peter: “They said my parcel would arrive on Tuesday to Thursday. It’s currently Monday, my parcel hasn’t arrived and I’ve never been more stressed”

After The Prank, Sirius avoided everyone. He hardly attended classes, and when he did, he sat at the very back, keeping his head down and mouth shut. He didn’t make eye contact with any of the other Marauders for weeks.

One day, though, after dinner, Sirius clearly saw the back of Remus’s head in front of him. He gasped and slipped into the nearest classroom.

An old grand piano stood at the back of the unused room, the black paint chipping to reveal wood. The keys were dusty, grey flecks coating the simple black and white. The left pedal was broken off, sitting on the floor directly under where it should be, the gold rusting. Sheet music for an unfamiliar song scattered over the lid.

Sirius gingerly sat on the bench, adjusting the height a bit so his hands could rest properly on the keys. He didn’t bother checking if it was tuned before pulling his music book out of his bag.

He turned to a random page. Love of my Life was printed at the top in big letters, and Sirius began playing, muttering the lyrics under his breath as he moved his hands across the dusty keys, not caring that his fingers were getting dirty.

“Love of my life, you’ve hurt me,” he sang softly, trying to relax. It seemed impossible at this point though, his sleep deprived mind heightening his anxiety, making him worry when there was nothing to worry about. “You’ve broken my heart, and now you leave me.” He tried not to think about how excited he was when Remus had bought him A Night At The Opera, how they’d danced to this song while alone in the dormitory.

“Love of my life can’t you see, bring it back, bring it back, don’t take it away from me.” The piano wasn’t in tune, but Sirius couldn’t find it in him to care. He just continued playing, thinking only of the notes he was playing, not of who he was playing them for.

“Because you don’t know what it means to me.” God, how he wished someone was listening. No one was though; for the first time ever, he was playing only to himself. The short instrumental break gave him enough time to choke out a small sob before he took a deep breath and kept going, because Blacks don’t quit.

“Love of my life, don’t leave me. You’ve taken my love and now desert me.” Sirius’s throat felt almost unbearably tight. “Love of my life can’t you see, bring it back, bring it back, don’t take it away from me.” It hurt to play such a song alone, with no one to hear. Sirius continued singing though, playing for no one, because he didn’t have anyone to play for.

He didn’t even notice the slight creak of the door as someone stepped inside, watching the nails covered in black varnish as the moved beautifully over the keys, the curved hands. Sirius just kept playing, singing under his breath. Until he got to the bridge and the person spoke up.

“Pads,” the familiar voice broke over the nickname. Sirius’s hands stopped moving, his foot still holding down the sustain pedal. He turned around, his eyes wide like a scared puppy.

“Padfoot,” Remus repeated, the sight breaking his heart. Sirius was so, so skinny, a ghost of his old self, his leather jacket slipping off his shoulder.

Remus couldn’t help himself. He ran forward, throwing his arms around Sirius’s neck, just wanting everything back to normal. The last few weeks had been so surreal, for all of them, and he wanted the Marauders back together. “I forgive you, Pads,” Remus mumbled, his voice muffled by Sirius’s shirt.

Sirius didn’t believe what he was hearing. “What?”

Remus pulled back to look him in the eye, letting Sirius check them for any sign of a lie because he knew he wouldn’t find any. “I forgive you, Sirius Black. This has all gone on way too long.” Sirius nodded in agreement, tears forming in his eyes.

“Thank you.” Sirius gave Remus a watery smile, and Remus smiled back softly, pulling Sirius up by the hand.

A Window To the Past

Remus Lupin offers Harry Potter a window to the past as he opens up about his past and tells him about his parents in a way only a dear friend could.

I’ve been wanting to do this masterlist for a really long time, and I finally found time to do it!  As always, if you know of any more fics please send an ASK or SUBMIT and they will be added. This list is quite extensive, so I’m sure I made some mistakes; if you notice any fics in the wrong category, or any that you feel have problematic portrayals let me know! Otherwise, please enjoy! :D

Yes I am crazy enough to remember and celebrate the first day I read my favourite fic. How I know the date is a long story

So, I just want to say a massive thanks to Tara. I don’t know what my life would have been if I wouldn’t have read it. Maybe, I would have found some other Wolfstar fic but I am not sure if I would have started shipping Wolfstar. I am so grateful that WWI is the first ever fic I ever read because it was like reading a Marauders book that is thousand times better than JKR could ever write. I was falling more in love with the fic with every chapter.

If all the books in the world would be on one side and re-reading WWI with the feeling of reading it for the first time and falling in love with it again would be on the other side. I would obviously choose WWI.

Arthur is the Head of an ancient House and also a Ministry department where he is pretty much unquestioned. (Bc the purists are ignoring him. Likely because they cannot actually, politically, magically, nor physically remove him if he does not wish to go.) He is a damn genius for enchantments and charms, constantly undoing the spellwork of others as his day job. And his hobbies involve placing incredibly complex magic on incredibly complex muggle contraptions. He learned to charm the Ford Angela without the help of muggles. I think he may have been on the verge of an epiphany with his collection of batteries. Storing energy? To make up for the lack of an ability to conduct magic at a whim? Genius. The man meets a kid raised as a muggle and immediately asks him to clarify the purpose of an item he didn’t understand. He never dismisses children as not smart. And that’s just the father, who has served in two domestic wars and survived.

Molly is an unsung war hero herself. Which is buried by the fandom. She herself wields charms and enchantments like a proper story time witch. Disney’s version of Merlin had less skill, honestly. She survived two wars and seven pregnancies. She has, seemingly, lost her entire family. Only her brothers are mentioned and that’s because they themselves died taking out death eaters. She is, to our knowledge, the only surviving Prewitt. Molly has fed an underground resistance movement. She has clothed and cared for them and provided a solid sense of stability. And that’s just the second war, where she was constantly reminded of all she lost in the first one. God only knows how much she fought and helped in the first war. Judging by how fucking deadly she was in the last battle and how capable she is before and how capable her children were, I’m willing to be she wrecked shop every time she entered the scene.

Bill is a prodigy of ward magic, which I logically assume is connected to charms and enchantments. He’s so good that goblins, who have been shown to be reclusive and secretive at best, trust him to go into ancient tombs and bust them open without dying. Then he survives a werewolf attack with only a few side effects and scars. He’s probably also immune to veela charms? I’d believe it.

Charlie literally raises and cares after dragons. _DRAGONS_ The big ancient bitey fucks that fairy tales and table top games are made of. What little he’s shown, he’s incredibly competent and confident and that’s all the shit I expect of a man that became a dragon veterinarian.

Percy is a book smart tactical genius. He’s got some character flaws that are enhanced by Harry’s perspective, but he’s every bit his parents’ son and it shows in the end.

The twins are fucking lethal. Like, had they not been raised by Molly and Arthur, they would have been off the charts in terms of sheer damage. They are, individually, more Slytherin than Harry ever could have been. They were making weapons and tools for the resistance while they were still in school. You can’t tell me that the boys named after their heroic uncles didn’t have that in the back of their minds. “If everything goes to shit like it did back then, we’ll be ready.” Ready with tools for escape, magic to entangle and distract, spy gear the likes of which James Bond would die for.

Ron. Brave, intelligent, stalwart, headstrong Ronald. The first friend Harry ever had and it wasn’t because of timing or being in the right place or even Harry. Ron saw a kid worse off than him, lost and scrawny, and was like “Someone needs to help him.” And he fucking did. He, like every brother before him, found his calling. Fourth year showed us exactly what he could have been doing instead of risking his life all the time. He could have been a bro with Seamus and Dean and just been a background character. He was not required to risk his life time after time. He has a family that he was loyal to, even when they made him feel like he wasn’t enough. But he actively chose to be loyal to Harry, again and again. No matter the cost. And every time he left, he came back further convinced that being beside Harry was the right and good thing. But even outside of Harry, he’s so fucking smart. Unmotivated sometimes. Frank to the point of offense other times. But intelligent. It wasn’t just chess or playing Keeper. He made damn good grades and became a prefect and it wasn’t just for shits and giggles. He was damn good.

And Ginny. The best of the fucking best. Cream of the crop. The Phoenix herself. Sneakier than the twins, sharper than Percy, bold face braver than Charlie or Ron, more magically gifted than Bill, and confident in herself in all that she did. A resistance fighter before she even left school. A friend to the lost just like Ron, but even less of an occasional asshole. We didn’t deserve her, but no one (except maybe Luna) ever could.
