No one can deny that during the Order meetings, while someone was talking, Severus would make weird faces at Sirius, moving his mouth to silently say things like "pathetic drunk" or "mummy's boy"—absolutely childish insults, the kind you'd expect from a 12-year-old. And Sirius, on instinct, would leap over the table to rip his head off, and everyone had to hold him back. Then Dumbledore would arrive and say, "Please, Sirius, control yourself," and Sirius, absolutely livid, would point at Severus and shout, "HE KEEPS SAYING THINGS TO ME ALL THE TIME, HE'S PROVOKING ME!" And Severus, with his expert Occlumens blank expression, would go, "So much time locked up without seeing anyone has made you start hallucinating, Black," like the most skilled gaslighter in history. And Sirius would have to swallow his rage while Severus subtly lowered his head the moment he noticed Dumbledore giving him a skeptical side-eye. Meanwhile, Molly felt the overwhelming urge to rip her hair out because dealing with her own children was one thing, but dealing with grown men who were theoretically supposed to set an example for her kids? She was way too old for this shit.
This happened, and no one can convince me otherwise.
:) i love fueling your hyperfixation, so FUN FACTS!!! PLEASE!!!

youre such a great writer! can u write something about being one of the top girl rockstars in the 70s/80s and having 'rivalry' with queen because you were both rising at the same time until you met the queen boys at a rockstar party and were introduced by michael jackson since he's one of ur bsfs and end up dating roger? im sorry if thats specific i just love ur works!!! thank you :DD
This has to be the most interesting ask I've ever received, thank you. Apologies if you find any mistakes, it’s 1:13am and I’m tired.
- The rivalry between you and Queen is completely petty.
- I mean, yeah sure, you've knocked each other off the charts a couple times, so what? It's bound to happen some time.
- It was around the time when you had released a song you were really proud of, only for it to be knocked off and overshadowed by Bohemian Rhapsody.
- You were particularly sour about the situation in particular because you thought Bohemian Rhapsody was a better song, but you wouldn't dare admit that to anyone.
- Hell, you could barely admit it to yourself.
- Then, later on you'd managed to over shadow something of Queen's, gaining attention from the band.
- Lets start off with something, there were never any insults about talent, more so writing.
- Even then, remarks would always be somewhat subtle.
- "...But I could be doing worse, you know. I could be writing about...oh I don't know, car metaphors, cheese metaphors, stuff like that."
- But both you and Queen knew that the other had undeniable vocal talent, so neither of you even bothered to go in that direction.
- Sometime in early 1980, Michael had talked to you about how he'd met the band a few months prior.
- He partially just did this because he wanted to get a slight rise out of you, but at the same time he didn't quite understand your negative feelings towards the band because they were all very nice.
- You managed to brush it off pretty easily, though Michael was not satisfied.
- Later that year, a little before The Game was released, you and Michael had been invited to a party.
- During said Party, Michael left you.
- To do what? You had no idea, but he was gone.
- Of course, he was still at the party, he couldn't leave you since he was your ride.
- But God, did you wish he'd left when you caught sight of him in the distance subtly scanning the room for you while conversating with Freddie fucking Mercury.
- But by that time they were too close for you to do anything about it.
- "Y/N, I have someone for you to meet."
- Michael sat there with a shit eating grin on his face, his malicious intent not matching his sweet and innocent speaking voice whatsoever.
- When Freddie finally looked up to see you, you could somehow hear him over all the side conversations around the room as he said 'Oh, dear God,' under his breath.
- His tone of voice didn’t seem to hide any sort of intimidation, it was more of ‘oh I don’t want to talk to this person at all.’
- You smiled and shook his hand;
- "Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Mercury."
- That was possibly the most respect you had ever mustered up for someone you didn't really like.
- Even more surprise went through your body when he responded with his own polite greeting.
- "I was just talking to Freddie here about an album that he and his band have been working on. When did you say it should come out?" "June." "June. Y/N, do you wanna come with me to see one of their shows for the album?"
- He knew what he was doing.
- Your mouth opened to respond, but you found yourself both taken aback at how rehearsed the entire situation seemed, and also struggling to come up with an excuse to not see them live.
- "I, uh, I actually have some pretty important sessions coming up in June following into July, I doubt I'd have time."
- Freddie looked pretty amused.
- "What a shame, I'm sure the boys would love to see you there."
- Michael hummed in acknowledgment, trying not to laugh at Freddie’s little passive aggressive comment.
- You decided you would completely ignore his comment, and try and be nice.
- "Michael did tell me that your bassist showed him an impressive riff, would that be featured somewhere on this album?”
- Again, Freddie looked a bit amused.
- He was starting to wonder if you really didn't like him or if it was just something you kept up for people's entertainment.
- That thought didn’t linger though.
- The deeper the three of you got in conversation, the less tense it became.
- Somewhere along the line you and Freddie starting joking with each other, that's when Michael decided he was happy with what he had started.
- Then he remembered there were three other members of the band that he had yet to even see at the party.
- Just as that thought planted itself in his mind, the remaining three came from upstairs and began to make their way closer to where you, Michael, and Freddie now sat talking to each other.
- First one to catch sight of the three of you was Roger.
- He didn't process that you were the one talking to Freddie.
- "Hey, there's Freddie." "Oh good, I was worried, he's been gone for a while." "Is that Y/N L/N?"
- John pointed at you laughing with Freddie and Michael, Brian and Roger's mouths started to slightly hang open.
- "What the fuck." "This is literal treason,"
- They walked over to the three of you, then sat down on the coffee table in front of the couch you sat on.
- You were the first to notice.
- Your soul pretty much took a swift exit out of your body.
- You were not expecting to turn to see Roger Taylor giving you a death stare.
- Once Freddie noticed his bandmates sat in front of him, he simply greeted them as if he hadn't just been caught having a laugh with his presumed rival.
- "Wanna introduce us to your new friends?"
- There was a very unidentifiable look hidden in Brian's eyes, you'd thought that he would look a tad bit more disapproving of Freddie befriending you, but most of what you saw seemed to be intrigue.
- "Well you know this is Y/N L/N, she’s very funny. You already know Michael,”
- Freddie looked very happy with himself.
- Roger looked the most interested out of all of them, probably because he had the least distaste for you out of all of them.
- If anything he pretended to not like you.
- He had your records, he had one or two posters of you somewhere in his home, things like that.
- But he did his very best to not show his slight excitement that Freddie's resentment for you was coming to an end.
- Although you would still have to somehow get Brian to like you, he wasn't really a fan of the small comments you'd made in the past about his writing.
- "Hello, it's lovely to meet you three."
- You gave them the same smile and hand shake, you caught the slight hesitation in Brian's hand as he moved to shake your hand.
- You were grateful for John not being as petty as the rest of you, either that or he was just really good at pretending to like people.
- You started off with something simple.
- "I love your hair."
- Thank god Brian had nice hair, or else you would have had to visibly search his person for something to compliment him on.
- He gave a small smile, said thank you.
- Alright, tougher than you'd thought.
- Thank God Freddie and Michael started talking, or else you never would have gotten through the night.
- By the end of the night you were all friends? You think?
- It's hard to say when you all rivaled each other for so long.
- When you drove home later that night, Michael was like a mom after taking her child to get a flu shot or something.
- "That wasn't so bad, was it? I told you they were nice people," "Yeah Michael, they were lovely."
- You were half asleep by that time.
- You did end up going to see Queen live in July with Michael.
- The two of you had wonderful seats, backstage passes, everything.
- You enjoyed the show, when you got backstage the band looked pretty surprised to see the two of you.
- For all they knew, that entire night at the party could have been an act, but the fact you paid for a backstage pass?
- It definitely made them not doubt you as much as they originally had.
- You talked to Roger about how much you loved his background vocals, he was very flattered, you very much inflated his ego.
- You were one of his favorite vocalists, you did not need to be complimenting him as much as you were.
- You also went on about how good his drumming was, and how you felt drummers deserve more recognition.
- "It's like people think just because your're behind a drumset and they can't see you then you don't deserve as much recognition as the others,"
- He was smiling and nodding like no one had ever said this to him before.
- You were very much on his good side at this point.
- I mean, you pretty much started on his good side for the most part (other than some comments you'd made about his beloved car song in interviews), but by this time you were much farther along that good side than before.
- He started staring at you when you went on to talk to the other members, then got caught doing so by John."
- "It's rude to stare, Rog."
- Roger didn't even process the situation, and he wouldn't process it.
- Nope, instead John would be left to himself, continuing to watch with a small smile as Roger continued to look at you every now and then.
- Before you had to leave, Freddie told you that he would call you as soon as the tour was over if you wanted to record something together.
- You were up for the idea, you took the little slip of paper that he'd written the address on and then left the venue with Michael.
- Given a year, in September of 1981, near everything had changed.
- You and the band were very close friends, Roger had just asked you out on a date for what would only be the first of many.
- By the time Hot Space came out you and Roger were a fully fledged couple (which was also pretty good advertising since you collaborated with Queen on a song in Hot Space).
- Michael is very humble when it comes to questions about his involvement with you and Queen.
- "Well we were at a party and I thought it would be fun to introduce them. If I'm being honest, I didn't really expect it to turn out so successful." "Did you have any idea that Roger and Y/N would ever end up together?" "No, not really. Not until she started talking about him more than usual, and they like to stare at each other. But other than that, I was clueless. But they are a very adorable couple. I'm glad I was able to introduce them."
- The interviews that you and Queen have together are pretty entertaining.
- "Well didn't you all supposedly hate each other about two years ago?" "Well yes darling, but that was two years ago." "I never hated Y/N." "You didn't seem to fond of her when she made fun of your car song," "I'll have you know John, that I have changed my mind completely and that car song is held very close to my heart." "You might want to be careful then, you might go into cardiac arrest." “See, they’re so cheesy. We’ve got to put up with this nearly 24/7.”
