“Would you still love me if I went to jail?” Regulus asks one morning over breakfast.

James pauses with a piece of toast halfway to his mouth, “Depends what you did.”

“Depends?”

“Yes, depends,” James laughs. “I love you, but there’s some things even I couldn’t forgive.”

“Like what?”

James takes a bite of his toast, chewing as he tilts his head to the side, deep in thought before saying, “Like if you killed Sirius. Or Remus.”

“What if I killed Barty?” Regulus adds.

just remembered that @locked-diary and i have a list of marauders headcannons and barty’s are THE WORST

ask game

,,,is barty a traitor????

but anyway! (again, in terms of enjoyment not necessarily like scale): Regulus, Peter, Severus, Narcissa, Barty

which feels wrong because i love bartys character sm but i feel like the other four have a lot more to explore canonically and ugh i just love. !!! narcissa there's so much to play around with there and YKKKK peter and sev are interchangeable. i feel like you can explore more with sev because we know more, but peter's a lot of fun to play around with because we know hardly anything and can just tinker about however we want
