#marauders map

The greatest human beings to ever live, as the marauders love to call themselves. This group consists of Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew.

Sirius Black

Deep down, he was always Walburga’s favorite child as much as she denied it. She saw a part of her younger self in him, the arrogance, smugness and the deep state of anger brewing inside of him.

He hates boring people. That’s why he hates people like Regulus, he finds them boring. But love people like James and Remus, he doesn’t find them boring.

The actual Casanova of Gryffindor, everyone wants a piece of him.

He’s the beater for the Gryffindor Quidditch team, he’s a really good quidditch player but not as good as Regulus, the only thing that Regulus has ever best him at.

Sirius is just a plain asshole, he’s always been full of himself, that’s just how he was raised.

He’s extremely smart, but he doesn’t act it. He aces everything assignment he does, even if he doesn’t try half the time.

He’s the loudest snorer, well, maybe not as loud as James.

He’s big, probably around 6’3, and he’s broad too. Masculine.

Dated Mary in fifth year, lowkey regrets it, she does too.

Has the smuggest smile known to man, and he has tattoos, a sharp jawline too.

He takes so much pride in his hair, and everyone knows it. It always looks so luscious and soft, some girls are jealous of it.

He likes picking on people, especially when he was younger. It just brought him joy.

He’s can’t whisper for the life of him, loudest motherfucker ever, especially when he’s with James.

He got into a lot of fights, verbal and physical altercations with people in his year during 4th and 5th year, maybe even 3rd 

Does stuff without thinking, very impulsive and it just gets worse when he’s with James.

He doesn’t get whiny or fussy like how Regulus does, he gets irritable and frustrated instead.

You can definitely tell him and Regulus are related without even being told. Just the little things, like habits and tiny little things.

Sometime Remus steals his jackets, just not his leather jacket, the leather jacket is literally his baby.

Posh boy turned not posh; evil little posh British boy turned into evil British punk boy…

Sleeps in class all of the time and still manages to be in the top ranks of his classes.

Sirius’ favorite cousin for a long time was Bellatrix, then it became Andromeda.

He’s a lot more like his mom than he would want to admit.

He used to be a proud member of the black family, and he was proud of his blood status. But as he got older he was introduced and shown people outside of his family and their tight-nit circle of people, and he released he’s been living under a rock and that these people are a lot cooler than whatever he’s been associating himself with.

He literally gets walked like a dog. Remus tells him to calm down, he does but not without hesitation, but he eventually does.

I don’t think he felt bad after the prank, I don’t think he felt bad until Remus finally snapped, yelling and getting in his face and telling him how bad of a person he was. That’s when reality really set in.

He was never physically abused, neither was his brother, it was very much psychological, emotional and verbally abusive in the black household. They couldn’t be bothered to put their hands on their children.

Very cold and startling gray eyes; he gets them from his dad.

Both him and Regulus throw tantrums but different kinds, he just gets angry and Regulus is just whiny.

Struggles with boredom more than stress. Very care free but gets bored easily.

Is extremely observant, more than he lets on. Notices small shifts in mood, lies, etc, is good at reading people, but also has good hearing and a sharp sense of smell, so he notices changes in his surroundings quite easily

Is weirdly good at imitating voices and people, and uses this skill to annoy people.

When Lily was pregnant with Harry he kept on making jokes about him being ginger and when they told him he was gonna be the godfather he said that he was NOT gonna be the godfather if that kids a ginger.

A chain smoker, and you can smell it on his breath and on him.

He would go through like three girlfriends every few weeks when he was freaking out about his feelings for Remus.

Yeah he can get angry, but there’s a difference between the anger he shows in front of “audiences” and behind closed doors. He gets like his mother, and his mother was a very scary woman when she was angry.

He’s prideful and vicious and loyal.

Just like James he was a cruel and arrogant bully, but at times it could get worse than James. You can see his family showing through the rips at his seems.

He definitely called muggle-borns, “mudbloods”, until like halfway through his second year bc James finally snapped at him and told him what was right and what was wrong.

Sometimes he’s like a hunting dog hunting its prey.

I heavily believe his animagus is a black Irish Wolfhound, it’s one of the largest dog breeds and I feel like it just matches him. (I’ve grown up around Irish wolfhounds, so I know how they act, and I can just tell that they fit him yk)

He never believes he was in the wrong unless someone gives him academically and the philosophically accurate answers and reasons why he is in the wrong; proof of this is when Remus finally snapped about the prank, and after months of thinking he did nothing wrong, he finally felt somewhat bad.

He was a very healthy and strong teenager but adulthood it was the opposite, probably because of Azkaban yk

He owns a motorbike, got it the summer before his seventh year as a very early birthday present, and it’s literally his baby.

He ran away Christmas of his fifth year after a very bad argument with his mother and father about the current state of the wizarding world. No they did not torture him, or hurt him in anyway, yes maybe Walburga slapped him but that was most likely the extent of it.

He knows a few words of French, but he’s terrible at the pronunciation, so he just doesn’t speak it; Andromeda taught him.

He’s always had long hair for a guy, like even we he started Hogwarts it was longer than many guys in his year.

Always rage-baiting someone, his favorite target has ALWAYS been Remus. But it’s like in a joking manner, there are some people he rage-baits to actually be a dick, like Regulus for example.

Has a couple tattoos that he takes lots of joy in.

James Potter

Loudest fucking snorer ever, and heaviest sleeper.

He’s always runs so warm, he’s just a very warm person.

So many girls tried to go out with him, but he turned them each time because he only ever had eyes for Lily.

He loves his glasses, he thinks they give him character.

Even though he’s somewhat matured, he’s still an asshole. He picks on the younger kids and still bothers the Slytherins at times with Sirius of course, never alone.

He’s built but not as built as Sirius. He’s really lean.

Thinks he’s the coolest person to ever walk the earth.

Spoiled rotten by his mom and dad.

He laughs at anything and everything; but most of the time when he’s laughing he’s doing it to make fun of someone or something

He’s a good guy, when he wants to be.

He loves quidditch so so much, it’s his favorite thing besides Lily and the other marauders.

Extremely clever even though he rarely acts like it, he’s always messing around in classes with Sirius and isn’t paying attention but he still passes with flying rates.

Wakes up super early, and always wakes up his roommates with him. They hate him for it.

He was mad at Sirius after the prank but was super quick to forgive him.

He’s such an only child it hurts, he’s so heavily spoiled, you can just tell his parents loved and pampered him so much. Like he never had to go throw single struggle in his life.

He has this fat and old dog back at home, a German shepherd named Louie (This is projected bc I have a fat and old German shepherd named Louie)

He doesn’t believe that he’s better than people because of his blood status, his parents never taught him to act that way, they taught him that everyone is equal even if they aren’t pureblood.

His glasses are always crooked for some reason.

Learns by doing but also has a good memory. He prefers practice over theory as theory bores him, but he's good at learning theory because he remembers things easily. This is why he excels academically - everything he reads, he remembers

Is competitive even when he pretends not to be.

Physically expressive when talking. Use hand gestures, paces, etc.

Writes awful romantic poems to Lily, she finds it endearing even though it terrible.

Gets great grades without even trying.

Sits in the back of the class and talks with Sirius the whole time. They are always interrupting class, either by playing pranks or talking to loudly.

Every time Lily, or a girl he’s friends with gets into an argument about feminism or sexism he’ll always back them up because he is his mothers son yk (he’s not only trying to impress but he was also raised by a woman of women)

He refers to Sirius as the big brother he always wanted, since Sirius is a few months older than James himself. And Sirius refers to him as the younger brother he always wanted.

He’s super tan, and when it’s the summer he gets even more tan. He does not burn.

Every time he tries to flirt with a girl he fails miserably, and girls don’t know that so when girls try to talk to him they’re just turned off and walk away after getting the hint he can not talk to girls. Just because someone’s an attractive doesn’t mean they can talk to the opposite gender.

Him and Sirius were offered spots in the slug club, and the only reason he agreed is to see Lily. (Sirius refused to join)

Was jealous that Remus got so close with Lily when the marauders had their falling out during fifth year after the prank.

He definitely got kinder and more mature in his sixth and seventh year, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t still a complete arrogant twat at times. He was definitely a really mean and cruel bully in his first like five

Just like his glasses, he thinks his messy and unkempt hair gives him character.

Remus Lupin

He’s just averagely smart because he misses a lot of classes because of full moons

He got bitten a month before his fifth birthday

Very awkward and quiet. He just kinda stands there, looking back and forth.

Hates confrontation, arguing, etc. he’s just a huge push over.

A very heavy sleeper, nothing can wake him up and if something does it makes him very peeved

A totally mamas boy, they have a lot of the same interests and they’re just a lot a like.

He’s close with both of his parents but his relationship with his dad is a little strained because of what happened with grayback; his dad just can’t look at him without feeling like it’s his fault that it happened to him.

He loved chocolate as a kid, and ate so much of it to the point he hated it as a teenager but when he reached adulthood he started eating chocolate again for nostalgia purposes.

He’s a quiet type of bully, he’d rather say something about you behind your back rather than to your face, unlike how James and Sirius would just say it to your face

He has wolf-like features, long sharp nails, pointed ears and teeth.

He’s a loser, but not in a mean way, yk?

His jokes are so corny that they’re funny

He doesn’t really smoke, but he doesn’t care if someone smokes around him (his parents smoke, Marlene smokes, Sirius smokes, etc.) sometimes he shares a cigarette with Sirius though.

Sometimes he has nightmares about the night he was attacked, he wakes up in a cold sweat with his eye tearing up.

He grew up in the far country side of England, but he moved a lot from town to town

His hair is this super light mousy brown, and it’s really soft.

His parents hate Sirius and James after the prank, but they like Peter. 

He was the type of kid to get in trouble for staying up to late reading.

He’s probably 5’11 but he’s always slouching so it makes him about 5’10 maybe even 5’9

Him and his parents argue, and sometimes it can get really bad but they all feel really terrible after the fact and apologize profusely 

His mom introduced to a lot muggle media, and then Lily introduced him to more

Before the full moon he has wolf like thoughts, it’s like the werewolf is coming out and it makes him hate himself

He can’t lie for the life of him

He’s not an angry person at all, he’s rather calm and collected

His patronus is a sheep 

He never looks put together, all of his clothes are hand me downs from his dad that his mom had to sew back up or something she made.

He writes to his parents every week to make sure they don’t worry

He gets terrible migraines

They’ve only ever seen him mad a handful of times, one of them being after the prank happened.

The younger students love him, especially when he was a prefect they would follow him around and ask him for advice on everything. He finds it really sweet 

His back always hurts.

He’s friends with two of the most popular people in the whole year but he’s like barely known, his names have been passed around a few times but that’s it. He’s not known.

He was homeschooled so he didn’t have any socialization until he started at Hogwarts.

He’s the best listener ever, you can just come up to him, start talking and he’ll listen.

Hagrid really likes him, well because he’s a werewolf.

Dimples, they make him look a lot like his dad.

He doesn’t like to be interrupted when he’s working.

Really crooked and pointy teeth

Very cold, like extremely cold to the touch

He’s a really messy note taker, his hand writing is shit.

remus absolutely has a “professor voice” he unconsciously uses when he explains things; sirius finds it stupidly hot and james finds it stupidly funny.

Always keeps the same routine, and he doesn’t like it to get messed up.

Overthinks and lies to himself. Tells himself people are better off without him, he's not needed, etc, leading him to isolate from others

Feels most comfortable when he's somewhere in the background, helping people, rather than being visible

He didn’t really know how to act when he first came to Hogwarts, he was really socially awkward because he was so sheltered as a child.

His parents are extremely overprotective of him, they are so quick to defend him and will fight someone for their son. They don’t play about their only child.

He doesn’t have any other friends besides Lily and the marauders, I mean he’s chill with Mary and Marlene but he wouldn’t classify them his friends.

Will always wear baggy and very covering clothes that cover his scars no matter then weather. The only time you see him in a t-shirt is in the dormitory or when he’s sleeping.

He can not sleep if it’s completely silent he needs at least some over kinda sound in the background

He eats the weirdest and most unappetizing combinations of food, and he actually enjoys it. He’s heavily trolled for it by Sirius and James.

Like I stated previously Hagrid rather likes him, and sometime he even seeks Remus out and asks him if he would like to have tea with him. Remus never turns him down.

He’s always very anxious even if he doesn’t show it. Like what if someone figures his biggest secret out?! (The biggest secret being that he’s gay for Sirius and DEFINITELY not that he’s a werewolf)

He’s always the first to go to sleep in his whole dorm.

He’s a complete mix of both of his parents, it’s like a perfect mix of both of them, 50/50 outta of both of them.

Always cracking his bones like knuckles or his neck.

He’s always getting these random ass nosebleeds, like he can just feel it coming in the middle of class and boom his nose starts to bleed.

Everyone has their own rumors about how he got his scars, he likes learning about them and he laughs at how inaccurate they are.

His lips are incredibly dry and picked at, it’s a nervous tick to pick at his lips.

Peter Pettigrew

The only reason why he’s passing half of his classes is because of his friends.

Follows James and Sirius around like a lost puppy, he’s literally their fan.

He loves to just talk about random shit, all of the time.

Really big quidditch fan, but wouldn’t play. He would be too scared to play.

He’s scared of heights, and to go off of what I said previously, is one of the big reasons why he’s scared of playing quidditch

He has two older sisters, one is 20 by the time he’s a sixth year and the others 26.

He’s got super crooked teeth

Lowkey wishes he was James

He’s short and chubby, he’s very insecure about it since all of his other friends are pretty tall and not chubby..

He’s an uncle, his oldest sister has a son

Him and Marlene grew up on the same street, making them childhood friends.

He’s got a like cockney, growing up in the East End of London

He has a very short attention span during lessons

Always making really cheesy cat puns about Professor McGonagall

One time Moaning Myrtle asked him out, and they dated for like a month in 3rd year. He’s been made fun of for it since

He’s always giggling and laughing about something

The only class he’s good at is divination

That’s where he met his girlfriend, Sybil. He’s very loyal too her.

Loves sour candy, it’s the best in his opinion

He’s a pureblood, but squibs run in his family.

Extremely oblivious to the point it’s sad

One of Evan Rosier’s many victims of bullying, he always has Sirius and James deal with it for him.

Lowkey scared of everyone besides his friends (the marauders and the girls), he finds everyone intimidating.

Weirdly likes small spaces as they make him feel comfortable and secure

Is good at mimicking other people's accents and speech patterns and sometimes does it without realizing it

Needs reassurance more than praise. Compliments don't stick, but knowing he isn't about to be abandoned matters deeply to him

Over-prepares for small tasks and under-prepares for big ones

He blushes quite easily

is nosy and knows lots of people secrets because of it

Is bad at school, barely passing. But good at magic, he can quickly come up with with spells and hexes to use, etc.

Is a sore loser and sulks when he loses, especially when he loses in chess

Feels incredibly offended when anyone who isn’t one of the other marauders call him wormtail, warmed up to Lily calling him it.

He’s quite cowardly, he needs someone more powerful than him, stronger and more confident than him, someone he can hide behind.

He is the most gullible person you’ll ever meet

He’s got these kleptomaniac urges, sometimes he just snatches something like candy from honey-dukes and zonko’s joke shop, he has never gotten caught.

Sometimes he just makes random noises, usually in the middle of class. D1 clown.

Only has sisters, so girls find he super sweet.

His oldest sister is named Bonnie, and his middle sister (who still lives at home after graduating hogwarts) Lottie.

Smokes weed with Sybill and her friends.

I hope you guys enjoyed the marauders headcanons 🥹 I really enjoyed writing these, but I definitely used all of the canon information I personally know to make these headcanons. They’re all my babies.

I would very much appreciate if you guys would leave your thoughts, ideas and opinions of the hcs in the reply’s :)

Like-

One of em pulls up to like McDonald’s and all the sudden: “hey grab me a sprite.” And “I want a McFlurry.” And “I need some fries.”

Regulus not speaking to remus for the rest of the day because he saw Remus went to the book shop without him.

Sirius doing the same but about record shops.

Regulus often frequents the library and when someone notices he’s there he gets all of their requests of books for him to pick up since he there.

and with that- Regulus and Remus are the only one to have gone into the library for years because as soon as one of them does they get a list of books needed from the others.

This is how Sirius finds out about Jegulus

It’s mandatory that everyone has the notifications on for when someone gets home, at full volume, so everyone can stop being traumatized by the others (Jegulus or wolfstar doing the traumatizing)

Regulus/remus texting James/sirius “SLOW DOWN” whenever they get like 10 miles above the speed limit.

When Sirius gets his bike Remus pays for the upgraded version that can tell if you’ve been in a crash and alerts the others if you have

Instead of texts of ‘where are you?’ It’s texts of ‘why the fuck have you been there so long?’ Or ‘get off work already, just quit, they don’t need you’ or ‘stop at Starbucks on the way home’ or ‘you better not be at that fucking bar’

Sirius knowing Remus can’t have his phone on him while he’s in classes/teaching classes so right around the time Remus is supposed to be leaving he sits on the couch watching Remus picture waiting for it to move out to the building.

Lily got rid of it when she moved in with Mary (but her and Mary would share location with each other) cause she thought it was creepy (and got annoyed from the texts asking her for things at the library).

Or: togachako but make it slythering X gryffindor dorlene

“I solemnly swear,

“That I am up,

To no good.”
