remus, bored at work or trapped on a phone call, absentmindedly drawing sirius’s tattoos from memory on the backs of receipts, notebook margins, scraps of paper

he also tests new pens with writing sirius’s name

It's always annoyed me how Tonks just wouldn't accept Remus rejections to her advances, like, take a hint, girl. Some people are just not in a good mental space for a relationship when they're:

1- Fighting a war.

2- Grieving the death of their true last childhood best friend.

3- Suffering an incurable curse that breaks every bone in their body, turns them into a bloodthirsty creature, and rearranges them back to how they were, once a month.

4- Dealing with homelessness and poverty.

5- Avoiding their dead best friend's son (who looks just like their dead best friend) who is also grieving his own godfather who was their other best friend that died recently. And feeling like shit about it.

6- Living in a country where the law makes it impossible for people like them specifically to find and keep jobs.

7- Rejecting the romantic advances of a pushy twenty-something year old while knowing they're pushing forty and there's an age gap of around fifteen years between them. And feeling like shit about it.

8- Catching feelings for a beautiful, pushy twenty-something year old who won't accept a rejection (or two or three or seven hundred) while already having too much on their plate. And feeling like shit about it.

9- The twenty-something year old won't fucking stop and they're one romantic advance away from giving in. And feeling like shit about it.

10- Who knows what else that Harry didn't know about.

Also the public confession was some like, juvenile, high schooler type shit.

A "Te voy a proponer matrimonio... EN PÚBLICO. Para que aceptes por presión social." Kind of confession.

Possessive Sirius? I say yes.

Hope Lupin meeting her son's boyfriend for the first time at the train station after summer break and seeing his tattoos, jacket, split lip, and jewelery and for a second thinking "Really? That one? Surely even you can see he's trouble" right up until Sirius spots Remus and his whole face lights up in absolute delight and he flings himself into his arms squealing

I was thinking right (bad idea I know), but this time about the sorting hat.

What if it not only judges you on like personality traits but also like where you'll be in the future.

Wait no hear me out.

I reckon Sirius could've done well in Slytherin like the rest of his family, but that wasn't what he needed. I think the hat knew Sirius wouldn't stay a part of the Black's forever, so set him up as best as possible in a house that could make that possible.

I also love the idea that Barty was a Ravenclaw but I think he needed to be a Slytherin. He needed the different type of relationship than he grew up with. I think the Sorting Hat know this. I think it very much planned ahead as well as using information from the present.

I love this idea, but I'd like to put a spin on it.

Setting aside the absolute bullshit of the house sorting system in the first place (self fulfilling prophecy, inspiring bloodthirsty rivalries in infants, blah blah- it's a children's series, okay) I think that this is a good theory, but it falls apart when you think of the Death Eaters. If the Sorting Hat could tell where these kids were going to end up, it probably wouldn't have grouped them all together. Slytherin (as it is in the books) is a really fucking awful idea if you can see the future-- 'hey, let's put all the guys who want to do Evil things in one Evil place to get more Evil'. If the Sorting Hat could tell where they'd be in the future, it would have dispersed them among the Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, and Hufflepuffs as well, so that the other kids could be a better influence. Thus avoiding Wizard World Wars I, II, and The Return of the Jedi.

My darling nerd Papa has an excellent theory about this. The Sorting Hat doesn't put you in the house that you identify with. It puts you in the house that you value the most. The biggest argument for this idea is the fact that people often get Sorted with their families. Ron desperately valued Gryffindor, because it's where all of his family went, and he'd long heard tales of the importance of the House. Ron becomes a Gryffindor, because he values that connection to the House. The Black family valued ambition, but more importantly, they valued their noble lineage (ew), high-brow heritage (gross), and the family name in general. The family name was tied directly to Slytherin. Regulus Black is a great example of this. He's an honorary Gryffindor (whatever the hell that means), but he was a staunch Slytherin. This is because he values his family until he finally learns the error of their ways. Sirius is a standout in this trend. He was abused from day one, and his coping mechanism was the fight response, in contrast to all of the Blacks who came before and capitulated to the demands of the family. Sirius always fought back rather than learning to become the heir. Sirius doesn't value his family, because they don't value him. Sirius values (valued, rip dawg) bravery- in his case this is the courage to stand up to family. The list goes on, and on, and on.

That's why Harry is able to convince the Hat to put him in Gryffindor. The hat isn't sure what he values, and Harry doesn't know about the Houses, so he doesn't have a pre-concieved notion of what he values. The hat has to worm it out of him by figuring out what he wants more directly-- "not Slytherin".
