much is said about how james bullied an outcasted, abused, halfblood and then his son became an outcasted, abused, halfblood. but also his grandson, albus severus, is the exact kind of person that james potter (and the rest of marauders) would have bullied. the potter line really got hit with karma for james' actions twice.
I’m so shocked at how little Nate Archibald fics there are. Something a bout that doesn’t seem right that lover boy is fine and deserves more attention
I’m imagining a young Sirius trying to propose to Severus and each time he runs away
Then cut to OOTP and they’re both arguing because Severus does NOT want to be married to him and Sirius wants to and at this point he’s on his knees with flowers and potion ingredients and Harry and co are looking on with flabbergasted faces
Then post-DH Severus finally agrees with a frown on his face
Nobody outside knew that Severus and Bruce started dating. And they would never tell because as much as many of them hated each other, they were slytherins. They had to cover for each other and be tram if they wanted to survive. And they also didn't want to risk Mulcibers fury and anger. While he mostly was cold and stoic, many of the slytherins saw what he did with those who dared to talk back to him. He was a beast on the Quidditch pitch too, but the new recent development surprise everyone.
When Severus and Mulciber started dating, no one wanted to believe it but it was confirmed when they heard the new daily gossip.
Apparently, Severus was again cornered by two of the stinky Gryffindor group that called themselves marauders, that make his life living hell even more ever since he and that girl from Gryffindor stopped talking. They tried to curse Severus but Mulciber came in time and sent the the older Black and Potter in the hospital wing.
He was also apparently very agitated that day anyway so he didnt want to hold back but severus stepped in and calmed him down, resulting in Mulciber listening to him and just left then at how they were. Bruce got out of the cat fight with barely a scratch. They heard that those two Gryffindor were in very bad conditions that they considered sending them to St Mungo's.
All of them were curious if they will get revenge but they didn't care. And ever since they found out that now severus held certain power over the Mulciber, then every Slytherin made use of that. Especially first years.
Whenever a first year made accidentally Avery, Rosier, the young black or any older pureblood angry, they ran to Severus for shelter since they knew they would back off. But of course not one slytherin dared to mutter a word to anyone about the relationship between those two. And the Gryffindors were too stupid to figure out why did Mulciber came to Severus's aid anyway.
Can you imagine a group of jocks named "The Bandits", who called themselves "Fork", "Dog feet", "Werewolfy" and "Wormtail" (I can't possibly make this one any worse) EVEN AS FUCKING ADULTS, picking on a boy who had signed his scientific research with "Half-Blood Prince", which
1) sounds epic and gothic as hell;
2) is a political statement from a person with a mixed indentity;
3) is a massive "fuck you" to his abusive father.
The Marauders are a joke except they aren't funny.
i cant stop laughing at the part of sotr when president snow just starts fucking dying and asks for milk
like as in this guy is in a sweaty, violent coughing fit, pukes into a fountain, starts bleeding out of his mouth, so haymitch goes to the milk, drinks all of it, then lies that there wasnt any
and plutarch knows he did it but he blames his servants anyway IM FUCKIGN CAKCLING
