Okay, so I know nothing about the British university experience (do they even have frats?) so Iâm just gonna do this based on what I know about American college Greek life. Hope thatâs okay!
James and Sirius join a social fraternity the second semester of their freshman year
Because theyâve been friends since they were eleven and theyâve talked about going to the same school and being roommates and joining the same fraternity since theyâve known each other
The upperclassmen like them instantly because theyâre this double act and theyâre cool and theyâre down to party
The school doesnât allow hazing and this frat doesnât exactly haze but they do require their pledges to do some publicly embarrassing shit
Like being filmed walking around campus in a cow costume and you get down on all fours to ask people to âmilk youâ
And you basically make sex noses the whole time
James and Sirius are both up for the challenge because they think itâs hilarious
(Sorry Iâm just going to interject for a moment and say that that is based on a true story I saw this happen I was there I didnât milk anyone but he had me hold a sign for the camera and then he told me âIâd milk your utterâ like weird things happened to me freshman year)
James and Sirius are âtwinâ Littles like they have the same Big (cool dude named Kingsley Shacklebolt) because itâd be a crime to separate them
Jamesâ nickname on his jersey is Prongs because of this really really funny story with a fork you just had to be there
Sirius gets Padfoot because his laugh kind of sounds like a bark and he just loves dogs okay
Fall of sophomore year is when they meet Remus who is the RA of their hall
Remus is one of those RAs whoâs like âwhat I donât see and hear is alright you wonât get written up if youâre not dumb about itâ and while he isnât someone that James and Sirius would normally hang out with they think heâs awesome and they invite him to dinner and parties and to play video games in their room so heâs not lonely (he just seems lonely to them and theyâre right)
They eventually convince him to join the frat in the Spring because heâs super fucking cool and so he does because Remus secretly wants to belong somewhere and even though he isnât the typical recruit, he grows on the other members
(James and Sirius convince everyone to be easy on Remus during the hazing thing)
Remus also is always there at parties and he sees the underage drinking but he doesnât report anyone because FRIENDS
Peter is this guy in James and Siriusâ (THEY HAVE MATCHING SCHEDULES!) marketing class and heâs really intimidated by how cool they are but one time the three of them are in a group project together and once he reveals how fucking funny he is, James and Sirius are like youâre amazing join our fraternity
So Peter joins fall of junior year and itâs like FRIENDSHIP
Oh and by the way both Remus and Peter are Jamesâ Littles because he likes to hoard these two people that he somewhat took under his wing and smother them with love and the occasional drunken advice
He also makes them arts and crafts sometimes and buys them candy when heâs at stores to surprise them with heâs just a really great and thoughtful Big okay heâs really into it
Sirius isnât too jealous because heâs basically that cool uncle with no kids
He never wants a Little like ever
Then one day James meets Lily at a party and sheâs in the service fraternity
He falls for her passion to help others and he starts to participate in charities and events with her
Not just because he likes her so much but because sheâs sparked this interest within him
He drags Sirius, Remus, and Peter with him to these events and they all start enjoying this whole âgetting involvedâ thing plus Lily is super cool and funny
James still likes to party but heâs slowed down a bit, gets more focused on charity work and making their community and the world a better place
James and Lily share their first kiss at Relay for Life at the end of their junior year
The next year they lead the committee that organizes it
Theyâre disgustingly cute
When Harryâs born a few years later the big debate of their marriage is whether heâll be in a social or service frat
Theyâve even put money on it
