Fixing plot holes again. If you’ve been wondering why Weasley twins “haven’t noticed” Peter Pettigrew, here is the only plausible explanation, cause i’m personally not happy with the “they’ve been looking the other way” version

Sorry to all those "sirius can sing" stans...but headcannon sirius black sounds like a dying cat singing in the shower and he thinks he sounds angelic...and james changes the subject when he brings it up, peter runs out of the room and remus never shuts up ab how he actually sounds like he's being murdered when he sings "Is there Life On Mars?" by David Bowie

[we-r-loonies]

sirius: singing is my hidden talent 🤭🤭

remus: yeah? keep it hidden

[yogirl-willow]

James is an idiot but we love him 🤧

Made an illustration for @marauderenergy ‘s original post 😂

[maluceh]

just found another couple i could draw them as, James is so ken. He’s just stocked to be with his girl

[yogirl-willow]

Why is it that whenever Harry does something naughty, it’s still James that gets scolded 😭

Probably because it’s always him and uncle Padfoot that put ideas into his head. 🙄 Doesn’t work out well though when it comes back to bite you in the ass.

[mydearthisbe]

You know how sometimes there’s one person in a friend group whom every friend would date if they asked? I’m not saying James Potter was that friend but James Potter was that friend

[pottergerms]

Definitely

[jadestrellas]

I disagree. I think Remus was that friend. Or maybe frank longbottom

[mydearthisbe]

You can feel free to disagree, I’m just going based off what I read into the source material:

Sirius Black who has a girl eyeing him hopefully in his OWL exam and instead looks at James from four rows away

Sirius Black who is literally so codependent with James that they cannot spend even like an hour apart to do separate detentions so they communicate via magical mirror

Sirius Black who runs away from home and runs straight to James

Sirius Black who travels with James on the back of his motorbike sporting matching t-shirts

Remus Lupin who considers himself a monster but has zero problem murdering someone if it’s on behalf of James 

Remus Lupin who is twice talked down from extreme action through the mention of James’s values and desires 

Remus Lupin who was ‘studying for Transfiguration’ while James was playing with his snitch after the OWLs but still was paying him enough attention to remember him doing it twenty years later

Peter Pettigrew who watches James ‘in awe’ as he plays with the snitch and literally applauds him for catching well 

Peter Pettigrew who blushes when he’s called out for being too enthusiastic about mooning over James

Peter Pettigrew, who watches James and Sirius ‘hungrily’ as they advance to commit misdeeds 

In conclusion, I think everyone wanted to date James at least a little bit.

AT THE END OF THE AISLE

for @jilymicrofics / april prompt 13: shiver / words: 200

James sucked in his breath, staring down the completely unreal. Autumn leaves littered the ground, and their friends stood, smiling, twisted around to watch, in dress robes and suits and dresses. James’ dad walked with her, leaning on his cane, and gave his son the slightest nod. And Lily. James could barely keep his heart beating. Lily glowed. Her dark red hair tumbled down her back, and her white veil trailed down the aisle. She beamed, green eyes crinkling, nose scrunched, clutching her bouquet in one hand and holding James’ dad’s arm with the other. James went slack-jawed. Lily. It was all he could think. Lily.

“James,” she said, reaching him, and a shiver ran through him at the soft of her voice. Lily. He was marrying Lily. Tears beaded in his eyes, and he blinked them away. Merlin. Lily. His fourteen-year-old self would have died with the excitement of it.

“I love you,” he managed, voice cracking. He cupped her cheek gently. “You’re so beautiful. I love you. I love you.”

Lily shook her head, blinking furiously. “I love you.”

And that was the crux of it, wasn’t it? The rest of the world be buggered.

“I love you.”

[jilymicrofics]

Oh a lovely bit of happy jily fluffy goodness @ohmygodshesinsane

[isahorcrux]

In light of the recent announcement of the Harry Potter TV Show and the fact that this is primarily a Harry Potter fan fiction blog, the below needs to be said.

I am not excited about this show.

If you told my past self 5 years ago this, I’d be shocked.  Five years ago, if they announced a Harry Potter TV show I’d be doing everything in my power to be involved some way or another.  However, in the last five years JKR has shown her true colors and spent her free time and money attacking the trans community.  There are many reasons why I’m not excited about the show or looking forward to it in any regard, but to me the most important is that this show gives JKR more money and cultural capital to further her anti-trans agenda.  This is unacceptable.

I think a lot of us raised on Harry Potter really wanted to separate the art from the artist, dive further into fanfic and fandom and just ignore that the woman who created a world in which we’ve spent most of our lives escaping into.  However, we can’t do that.  It’s come to my attention over the past few days that a lot of people aren’t even aware of the active harm JKR is doing to the trans community.  Most people just say, ‘oh she said some weird stuff on twitter’ right?

Well, yeah.  But, did you also know she launched an active campaign against a reform bill that made it easier for trans people to legally change gender?  You know what happened?  The UK blocked that Bill and Scotland now has to launch a legal challenge to the government block.  She’s also funding a Sex Abuse Crisis Center that excludes trans women.  Yeah, that’s right.  She’s using her money from a book about love and acceptance to actively exclude a marginalized group from a crisis center.  She’s also publicly admitted via twitter that she funds anti-LGBTQ political activity in the UK.

So yeah, there’s a direct line of fans supporting official trademarked Harry Potter anything and that money directly harming transpeople.  Sorry for that rude awakening, but some of y’all are doing backflips to avoid seeing this.

Now, is there a way to prevent Warner Brothers (and Max, lol) from making this show?  Probably not?  After mergers and at a point when the tv and film industry isn’t booming, they need money.  You know what makes money?  Harry Potter.  Which is why they’re rebooting it.  Another question that’s been raised, will the looming writer’s strike affect this?  I would guess probably not?  Most UK writers (and International writers at large) are not in the WGA.  JKR has always wanted the most amount of British people involved in Harry Potter adaptations, so they’ll use the strike to find a UK writer and get them to work.

So what can we do?

Don’t watch the show.  Or, if you do.  Pirate it. In fact, cancel your Max subscription before the show launches.

They’re going to spend A LOT of money on this.  If the numbers aren’t there for them they will do what every other streamer does with an unsuccessful show and cancel it.  They announced 5 Fantastic Beast movies, and yet…where’s that last one?

Anyway, thanks for reading this whole thing if you’ve gotten this far.  Please share with friends who are excited about the show.  Please engage in meaningful discussions with other Potter fans.  Please support our trans friends and strangers.

Once again, this blog says FUCK JKR.

Red

@jilymicrofics

Red was always a color that mattered to Lily and James.

It was the color of her hair. The scarlet of the house that brought them together. The color of their cheeks after their first kiss. Of gifted roses and the brick of their first flat. Their whole lives were painted in shades of red.

Here and now, sinking into the scarlet sofa in their living room, Lily thought of red, the passion, love, and depth of the color and that's why Lily, with out a doubt, simply had to paint their nursery room red.

Now this is an impulse decision, and very out of character for my dear Mrs. Potter but she was extremely pregnant and just wanted a red house. So with nothing more than that she went to her nearest Wilkes and bought a can of bright red paint. In a few hours she was done and just as she was pulling the tape off the walls she heard the arrival of her husband. She scrubbed wildly as the bit of red paint on her cheek as she waddled down the stairs to greet James.

He swooped in with kisses without even noticing the red paint still covering her overalls. As he pulled away he looked at her skeptically. "May I ask why you're covered in paint?"

She smiled sheepishly as she slowly took his hand and led him upstairs. "I just didn't think grey was the right color for the nursery?"

this is my first time writing anything i put anywhere bc i thought these prompts would be a good way to get me writing. any tips or suggestions are encouraged!

A round of applause for @imaspaceoddity! Putting stuff out there is hard and this was great 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Their Wedding

[moonagedaydream345]

27th October 1981

Dear Diary,

I remember, in divination one class, we were doing palm reading. I looked down at my hand and I got upset because my lifeline was so short. I thought I would die young. But James walked up to me and showed me his. He held out his hand and put it next to mine, his was the same length. I think that’s the moment I fell in love with him, if I’m being honest. He saw me upset, alone in a corner and contemplating my mortality, and he rocked up and showed me that he was the same, we were the same. It made me feel better then, that they were the same. James Potter couldn’t die young, not when he was as full of life as he happened to be. That must mean that the life line thing was a myth, it had to be.

As we’re cooped up in this house longer and longer, however, I fear these lines may ring true. The lines on our hands may be the same, but that doesn’t grant us a long life, just equally short ones.
