Imagine a First Year James Potter with so much social energy that not even newly un-repressed Sirius Black could keep up yet making friends with every single portrait he passes on the walls

Imagine a Third Year James Potter running from Filch with Sirius Black after a prank gone wrong right, only to hear a call of "He's coming from the Charms Hall, take the next left!" from Sir Cadogan, who's passing messages along from the line of portraits between them. (After all, James had complemented him on the shine of his armour just last week, and he had to help a brave soul with good taste!)

Imagine a Fourth Year James Potter showing the map to his favorite portraits with the other Marauders, only to have them point out several passages he'd never known about for them to add.

Imagine a Sixth Year James Potter going to the portraits for love advice after Remus threatens to hex his balls off if he has to listen to one more soliloquy about the green of Lily Evans' eyes. Honestly, it's not half bad. Sure, the portraits love to bicker among themselves about what he should do, but they've seen generations of Hogwarts students pass them by, so they know what they're talking about. (Plus Barnabas the Barmy says he heard her telling Mary McDonald that she needed a new quill set, which would be the perfect Yule gift!)

Imagine a Seventh Year Sirius Black who took all of 5 minutes to convince the portraits to sing James Happy Birthday every time he passed for the entire day. The halls were an endless din of overlapping voices, and all the professors begged them to stop, but it was worth it for the smile on their friend's face. James made sure to complement Amalie on her voice (because of course he'd actually cared to learn the Fat Lady's name).

Prompt: Fat Lady

A noble lady deserves her own photoshoot😌😌

Hi, you are the first person to ask me a question, so thank you very much for your interest in my blog. 😊 I hope you enjoy the headcanons:

🔴🦁 🟡🦡 -As you know, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff have a staircase/rappel to keep the boys out of the girls' rooms. Well, once upon a time, two friends, one from each of these houses, decided to test this mechanism. One of them mentioned this "experiment" to his friend and she told him the idea she had. Later, the girl piggybacked the boy up the stairs and they arrived at the top of the stairs vividly, but as soon as the boy took a step forward, an invisible force sent him rolling down the stairs. Then, the other friend, decided to do the experiment in a different way, he took a rope and asked one of the girls to tie it to one of the poles at the top of the stairs, so that when the stairs turned into a ramp, he would be attached to the rope and wouldn't fall, but gess what, the pole broke. Not the rope, the pole. (This was probably because the whole area around the ladder was haunted, including the pole). Moral: don't challenge the stairs/ramp: they will do their best to ban you.

🔵🦅-Once a Ravenclaw boy tried to enter the girls' rooms by putting on an invisibility cloak so that the two suits of armour would not detect his presence. However, they did. Not being visible, the boy was detected later than usual and ended up in the infirmary with severe cuts. Moral of the story: don't try to fool the armour if you don't want to stay in bed for three weeks and get a reprimand from the teachers.

🟢🐍-Many students who love animals and magical creatures ask their Slytherin friends to come into their common room to watch or take pictures of the magnificent creatures that pass in front of the glass overlooking the Lake.

🔴🦁🟡🦡🔵🦅-In Hufflepuff house there are a lot of blankets and nobody knows why. But still no one complains, especially the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor students, who sleep in the towers and get very cold, and always end up asking the Hufflepuff students to lend them some of those warm, puffy blankets.

🔴🦁-A Hogwarts student from Gryffindor was about to enter his house when the Fat Lady in the painting hurled one of her usual insults at him. Apparently, the student was not in a very good mood that day, because he hurled a string of expletives at the lady, who refused to let him in.

🔵🦅-Something similar happened at the Ravenclaw house entrance. We all know that there have been times when a student has been left out of the house because they couldn't guess the riddle. Well, once, for a whole week, none of the members of the house were able to guess the damn riddle, causing all these students to be scattered at the foot of the stairs after curfew. The worst thing was that when the prefect went to ask the teachers for help, they refused to give them a place to sleep and told them that it was their responsibility to go into the house or not. Guess who started shouting in front of the entrances of the other houses in the middle of the night to get the other students to let them in?

🟢🐍-A group of Slytherin students came up with the idea of testing the strength of the glass that separated their main hall from the Lake. They cast a bunch of spells, but none of them seemed to work, until the glass began to shake. The students moved a little away from the glass, fearful that it would break. But the truth is that the shaking was not caused by anything the students had done, but by one of the giant creatures that inhabited the Lake and that had had enough of the rattling noises (due to the spells) spreading throughout the Lake. So imagine the look on the students' faces when a colossal, angry sea monster smashed through the glass. I think some of them are still traumatised.
