brazilian james/marauders
i don't understand why we don't hc james as brazilian more often like it would suit him and his golden skin so well...
like effie and monty would just be those crazy rich people from sao paulo that raised their kid in Vila madalena and had a secondary house in ubatuba (the state of são paulo's surf capitol i might add):
that way james grows up going to those brazilian country clubs that are actually inside the city (like club Palmeiras or Pinheiros) playing every sport since he was a kid but started soccer at 7 and never let go. He would cheer for Palmeiras bc it's the only option (and the best one) and monty would take him to the games every week .
He met the marauders at a private school and they did crazy marauders stuff obvs
They would go on holidays and weekend trips to Ubatuba where james goes surfing (yes, kinda like you signed up from this-Solmussa) and even though he loved to surf, his favorite beach was Praia do Lazaro because of how calm and beautiful it was even when it rained. That is where he would meet regulus (because he didn't run away and was in no contact with sirius, didn't even know where he lived), years after in one of those grey days after a summer storm.
