this one is full of quotes. i’d apologize to my friends for screaming at them for the last three days but i’m sure they understand.
“You’ll get the stuffing knocked out of you, won’t you?” roared Uncle Vernon, advancing on Harry with his fist raised. SOMEONE CALL FUCKING CHILD SERVICES ALREADy i cant fucking believe Dumbledore/Jkr wouldn’t find another solution to harry’s summers than sending him back here. i want to read an AU called Holidays With Dumbledore. get on it, fandom.
Whichever way he looked at it, he had never been in a worse fix. that boy is a fuckng drama queen i mean sure we know where he gets it from but really?? voldemort has tried to kill you twice but you’re outside after dark and suddenly your life is ending? jesus fucking christ, harry
the magical community lives in fear of a massacre like that of twelve years ago, when Black murdered thirteen people with a single curse ok but can we talk about this? the murder of 13 people is the worst the magical community has seen in years? like, really, no other wizard turned ugly? voldy didn’t do anything that bad? or do we file this as sensational journalism?
“He murdered thirteen people?’ said Harry, handing the page back to Stan, “with one curse?” harry has been in the magical world for three years but i mean, he knows of guns. is this so far-fetched? come on, harry.
(about Azkaban) “and Hagrid one of the bravest people Harry knew.” ………………… yeah, harry. sure. ok. whatever u say, harry. its fine.
harry gets money from his account and he’s like “oh better be careful not to spend it all” which really makes me wonder how much money is actually in there. is that just a “growing up with no money” mentality or? bc i hc james as some rich kid so since jkr killed everyone in his family, all of that money falls to harry, doesn’t it? is the minister keeping money from him? those are the real questions, jkr. we don’t care about how straight you think remus is. tell us more about harry’s bank account.
sitting outside Florean Fortescue’s Ice-Cream Parlour, Ron looking incredibly freckly, Hermione very brown if i see one more white!Hermione istg
after learning who Sirius is ‘after’, Harry goes to bed like “I’m not going to be murdered,” Harry said out loud. “That’s the spirit, dear,” said his mirror sleepily. i love that boy so much. So Much.
so there’s this hc that Remus is actually awake in the train and he’s just not moving because he knows it’s Harry and he can’t deal. but during all of it. during all of that time. they’re talking about Sirius. kill me. just. kill me. it only gets worse.
(about Hogsmeade) “I’ve read it’s the only entirely non-Muggle settlement in Britain-” Godric’s Hollow is muggle too, then?
(after the dementors come in the train) Ginny, who was huddled in her corner looking nearly as bad as Harry felt, gave a small sob my sweet sweet child please my baby i’m so sorry no one cares about you but i do i promise i do i care i care so much
“You see, the thing that really finishes a Boggart is laughter.” im never gonna laugh again of course fucking remus john lupin would be the one who teaches everyone that laughter is a weapon against fear my love im so sorry jkr failed you im so sorry
ok sirius might be a drama queen but he waited for everyone to be at the halloween feast to try to try to get to wormtail and everyone is like “he’s gonna kill harry!!!!” really!!! he’s been at hogwarts before!!! he knows at what time’s dinner!! can’t you see that my son is innocent!!!!!
“Why couldn’t Black have hidden in Snape’s office, eh? He could have finished him off for us” so there’s this theory in the fandom that ron is usually right about these things and it would literally kill me if this was true and then during Ootp sirius is like “yeh i was right under ur nose the WHOLE TIME SUCKAAA!!!”
“I heard about the match,” said Lupin, turning back to his desk and starting to pile books into his briefcase, and I’m sorry about your broomstick. (…) They planted the Whomping Willow the same year that I arrived at Hogwarts.” IS HE BLAMING HIMSELF I CANT DEAL
(about the dementors and harry) “there are horrors in your past that the others don’t have.” A ray of wintry sunlight fell across the classroom, illuminating Lupin’s grey hairs and the lines of his young face just writing this up makes me want to cry what does he hear what does he think about when they’re near why why
also, just: harry describes sirius twice as handsome and full of laughter when he sees him in the wedding photographs + this about remus, can someone spell bisexual out for him please
“You heard James”, said Lupin, in a strange voice im dead im dead iM DEAD strange voice more like he fucking cried when harry left
He handed Harry a large bar of Honeyduke’s best chocolate. best chocolate. my poor baby went and bought harry the best chocolate which is probably also the most expensive one can someone hug him please. hug him. please.
so harry tells remus that if he knew his dad, he must have known sirius too and remus is like “what gives you this idea?” he said sharply and then harry is like “just guessing” and Lupin’s face relaxed let’s be real he was thinking “fuck me who told you i was dating this researched convict” there is no other explanation
and when they talk about the dementor’s kiss harry is like “i hope they kiss sirius!!!!!” and remus is like “………no……..” i know baby i know
Harry took off his black school robes, removed his wand from his pocket, and stuck it inside the T-shirt he was going to wear under his Quidditch robes ok, what the fuck jkr. is harry sticking the wand to his skin? does his shirt have a special wand pocket? what’s happening here?
“That was quite some Patronus,” said a voice in Harry’s ear. Harry turned around to see Professor Lupin, who looked both shaken and pleased. he’s so proud. and so sad. i’m so proud. and so sad.
i love how harry sees neville as this cowardly fat little boy and then when mcgonagall herself is using her worst voice at them asking who left the passwords lying around, everyone is shitting their pants and still neville owns up to it. i love him.
moony’s exam is an obstacle course outside in the sun. like, Best Exam Ever. i hope someone gave him a Best Teacher mug. or three.
i’m so mad about the parallel between buckbeak’s “appeal” and sirius not having any fucking way to defend himself at all. i want harry to drop all auror career idea and straighten up the sorry excuse for a legal system that is wizarding law
Harry raised his wand. Now was the moment to do it. Now was the moment to avenge his mother and father. He was going to kill Black. He had to kill Black. This was his chance… ok let’s skip how fucking sad this is and go straight to: what was he gonna do, really???? expelliarmus him to death???
Then Lupin spoke, in an odd voice, a voice that shook with some suppressed emotion. ‘suppressed emotion’ more like CRYING
Very slowly, his sunken gaze never leaving Lupin’s face, Black nodded. my sad gay puppies. so vey sad. so very gay.
Lupin made toward [Ron], looking concerned, but Ron gasped. “Get away from me, werewolf!” Lupin stopped dead. i let out such a huge sob at this. ron u fucking prejudiced dickhead i hated you for all of three seconds
[Sirius’] voice broke. He turned away. “Enough of this,” said Lupin, and there was a steely note in his voice Harry had never heard before. so sad but so.very.gay.
btw, i want everyone to know that during this whole scene remus is described as impatient twice, keeps yelling at people, whereas sirius is quiet and isn’t even moving. can i have a sincere apology from everyone who writes them opposite. thanks.
THEY WANTED TO KILL PETER BUT THEY COULDN’T EVEN STUN HIM???? fuck you,
“Sirius, he’s gone, Pettigrew transformed!” Harry yelled. he’s known sirius was innocent for all of an hour and he’s on first name basis with him but he’s gonna know remus for four years and he’ll never use his first name??? f u harry. f u.
they go back in time, etc and harry goes to cast the patronus for him and sirius and hermione “Prongs,” he whispered. shoot me in the head, please. i legit sobbed. just that one word. i hate this book.
they go to get sirius in the tower etc, sirius is ALONE, he’s not even fucking tied up, just chilling there. he fucking escaped azkaban where he was the most heavily guarded prisoner but a fucking tower door (there’s even a fucking window!!!) would be enough to stop him???
then a cloud drifted across the moon… they were gone. so was my heart.
ok so snape tells the slytherin that remus is a werewolf (if you’re a snape apologist, i hate you) and remus packs his bag and Harry had the impression that Lupin wanted to leave as quickly as possible. right. TO MEET UP WITH HIS BOYFRIEND
i started goblet of fire yesterday. frank the gardener already died and it’s still less sad than this.
