ravenclaw: we've been waiting for less than 5 minutes

Group of girls sitting in the courtyard, talking about their periods: It’s so annoying how it happens each month!

Remus, off to the side reading a DADA book: I know exactly what you mean.

The girls, alarmed, yet continuing: I hate how my body rips itself apart every month...

Remus, sorrowful: Me too. I just get so angry, I’m like a monster.

The girls, fully face Remus, too shocked to answer: ...

Remus slams his book shut and turns to them: The blood may be bad, but chocolate helps.

Gryffindor : You left in a Walmart parking lot like, three weeks ago.

Upon delving further into book relations I came across the uncanny likeness between Sirius Black and Edmond Dantés (The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas).

While The Count of Monte Cristo focuses mainly on Dantés, of course, Harry Potter does not mainly focus on Sirius. That being said, I still find their stories quite similar in many respects:

- key beginnings are ignorance to the demise awaiting them

- well-liked amongst many prior to accusations

- falsely accused

- prison sucks

- goes a tiny bit insane (or is believed to be)

- R E V E N G E

- witty

- strong hatred towards those who falsely accused them

- huge beans tho

- finds out the one they were waiting for at home ends up with the LAST person they ever wished them to be with (Mercedés with Ferdinand and Harry with the Dursleys)

- has an EXTREMELY clever way in getting back at those who did them wrong

- iconic

Lily, mid-rant: ...and they play morally ambiguous movies!

James, who has recently looked into muggle movies, nodding wisely: Willy Wonka

Lily: ...

Remus: ...

James: *kicks feet up on desk* So I heard you like bad boys

Lily: *hiding a smirk* Well you heard right

James: *visibly uncomfortable*

James: ...

James: Well I once set my cat on fire

Lily: *sitting up in shock* James that’s horrible!
