I’m here with some marauders headcanons:
Sirius and Peter adores Queen.
Sirius claims to be in love with every single member of Queen and Peter has this semi-crush on Freddie
Peter is obviously the one who introduces Queen to Sirius
James doesn’t understand where this obsession comes from, but he’s into it.
Remus is the only one who can’t stand Queen
(Remus ironically likes queen because his friends do and maybe they’re not actually that bad)
Lily introduces James’ to the Beatles. James pretends to hate them but he secretly loves them
James asks his father for a guitar in their fifth year. His father sends it 0.2 days after receiving the letter
James learns quicker than humanly possible. Both Sirius and Lily think it’s very hot
Sirius drums on everything he can find. Including Lily’s head.
When Christmas comes around, James sings Eight Days A Week for Lily
Remus and Peter sings to bad Christmas Carols
Sirius is too shy to sing anywhere but in the shower
Sirius and James spends Christmas with the Potter family. Remus and Peter join them the day after Christmas.
Sirius gives Mrs and Mr Potter a new record player
Mrs and Mr Potter gives Sirius Pink Floyd’s entire discography
Mr Potter pulls Sirius aside when they’ve traded gifts with everyone and gives Sirius another gift. It’s just a pair of keys, but when Sirius sees the motorcycle in the garage he’s pretty sure he’s going to die
It takes Sirius like two years before he realises you can put things in a mini trunk at the back and finds A Ramones’ album and Mr Potter’s letter jacket
From said day he wears the jacket like his life depends on it
Queen is still very relevant when James and Lily gets married
Sirius plays nothing but Queen and one or two Beatles songs.
The only thing ever played by the marauders is Queen and Beatles
Lily pretend to hate them, but writes cheesy things like “my boys” at the back of the record pockets
Remus saves all of the records when James and Lily pass away
He also saves Sirius’ and Peter’s music
And that poster Peter had of Queen in their dorm-room
Remus stuffs the things away
When Sirius passes away, Remus digs up all the albums and the record player from the back of his wardrobe. He listens to all of it before he finally gives it to Harry.
It takes years before Harry listens to it. It’s a coincidence. Teddy is looking through some old stuff, because he’s just about to move out. He finds the record player.
When Harry finds him in the basement, Teddy and Ginny are dancing to the music.
Teddy takes the Queen records, despite the little notes left from Remus: “never play again” and “screw queens”
When Bohemian Rhapsody comes to the theatre’s in England, Harry takes Teddy to see the movie.
They both cry and sing while watching it and in a way it’s the closest to his family Teddy has ever felt
