Marauders 1971-1972 Chapter 5 Part 2/3

Dear Lily,

I won’t tell mum you were slacking in lessons – but aren’t they very exciting since they’re magic and all that?

Your classmates sound nice. Why do you think I would like Remus so much? Or is it just because he does what he’s told? I’m not some teacher’s pet, you know. Mum’s always saying you shouldn’t cheek your older sister.

That brat James sounds like he needs pushing in the river. I hope your mate Severus isn’t letting him bully you or I’ll be having words. Don’t let them rub off on you. I don’t want you to come home at Christmas a different person.

I’m not going to say sorry for ignoring you because Severus really was a piece of work and I just don’t understand how you could take his side on that but I can’t stay mad at you for so long. You can tell Severus to send me a letter to apologise if he decides he’s going to re-invent himself as a decent human being.

Benjamin was asking after you today. I told him you went to boarding school in Scotland and he was really upset that you didn’t say goodbye. I gave him your address so I expect he’ll write to you. I don’t know what you’re going to tell him about the school, but he really wants to see you at Christmas. You know he gets along with you in a way he just doesn’t with the boys in my year.

He did tell me a secret though. That you went up the heap to the wheel. I won’t tell on you though because I made him take me up there after school on the bikes. You couldn’t get me to climb that thing for love nor money though. It looks alright from the street but standing underneath it I swear it was touching the sky.

The big school is same as always, though now your year’s come in I’m not a little one anymore which is nice. It’s a bit weird seeing your friends and not seeing you though - sometimes I forget you’re away and think things are like last year and I’ll meet you after school. I have to pack my things so quickly and leave early so no one catches me to ask where you are because I don’t know what I would say to them.

Love from Pet.

Hi Lily,

I didnt believe Petunia when she said youd gone to boarding school but she actually gave me the address so I suppose she must be telling the truth. I cant believe you didnt say goodbye to me. I was looking for you this whole month at school cos I didnt even know you were gone.

The address Petunia gave me was a bit weird. What kind of name for a school is Hogwarts? I cant believe youre all the way in Scotland which is pretty much like being in another country. Do you get to visit anywhere or do you just have to be in school all the time? Is it like the Malory Towers books you and Petunia used to read?

Why are you even there anyway? Why not just come to the big school here? Is it a special school like for really clever kids or what? And how come your parents didnt send Petunia? I just dont get it.

Do you have any friends there?

I really hope I see you at Christmas. It was nice that your sister wanted to play out with me today (she wanted to go to the heap!?) but my old mate Billy (you remember him cos he once stole your pencil) moved away to Leeds and now I kind of have friends but I dont have any really good friends. Not near where I live anyway.

Speaking of, I havent seen that boy that you used to hang around with. You know the one Petunia doesnt like? I cant remember his name it was like Slivius or something weird. But anyway he hasnt been around in ages and usually I see him all the time cos he sort of wanders in the estate but his parents had a massive fight the other day and it must have been outside in the street cos I could hear them from my bedroom window. Dunno what it was about though.

Anyway I miss you loads (even though you didnt say bye to me) and if this isnt a pretend address your sister gave me then please write back I would like to still be friends even though were far away.

Benny.

Shanks: Hogwarts AU

Shanks is a Pureblood wizard that was born on the 9th of March 1960 and started attending Hogwarts on the 1st of September 1971, being sorted into Gryffindor House.

He has a Marple wand with a Phoenix Feather core.

His Patronus is a Lion.

His favorite subject was Defense Against the Dark Arts and his least favorite subject was Potions.

He was one of the Gryffindor Prefects of his year and later Head-boy.

Shanks is an extremely laid-back man, preferring to take his time by traveling around the world with his friends while enjoying himself as opposed to rushing from one place to another. This was already the case in his youth, where he was portrayed as playful and innocent in contrast to the grumpy and opportunistic Buggy, his foster brother. However, Shanks still suffered from occasional bouts of immaturity, starting trivial arguments with Buggy solely out of stubbornness. In many ways, Shanks was very similar to Luffy (as a child) in his younger years.

Shanks and his friends are almost always partying and drinking alcoholic beverages, as Shanks' favorite pastimes are attending and hosting parties and banquets. He is even able to waver the resolve of prominent figures, such as Dracule Mihawk to join in with his fun, as a testament to his strong charisma. Shanks is endlessly fond of parties and will start them for all sorts of occasions (regardless of whether he had already partied beforehand), as he did when he finally met Luffy's brother, Portgas D. Ace. Shanks is also quite the jokester and has a penchant for teasing others.

Despite his outward simplicity, Shanks has a rather complex moral code. His aversion to conflict has led him to believe that if personal opinions conflict, no matter how close the individuals may be, it is better for them to part ways. It is indicative that Shanks prefers others to see him as someone who cares little about his own well-being, preferring to laugh off even dire situations as opposed to taking direct conflict. His carefree nature ends, however, when those under his leadership or protection are threatened, which extends to those he views as friends. As one of the world's most famous Curse Breaker, Shanks acknowledges that he too has a reputation to maintain and will hunt after those that dare cause trouble on his territories, regardless of his own personal thoughts on the troublemakers. This was best exemplified by his handling of the Barto Club, as while he showed fondness for Bartolomeo and his devotion to Luffy, Shanks still had them arrested for burning down his house, since, as an adult with many people relying on his name for protection, he could not risk being perceived as weak by the ministry or rival wizards.

As noted by the higher ups at the ministry, Shanks is a pacifist by nature who does not actively seek to cause chaos and disorder. He is also against the idea of needless bloodshed, even if honor is involved, and so far he seems to only step up for a fight when a friend is in danger. He seems to admire those who display extreme bravery for the sake of humanitarian reasons, having protected and commended Koby for gathering his courage to try to convince the higher ups that the Fourth Wizarding War is about to begin in front of the ruthless ministry worker Sakazuki, as the young Gryffindor believed that it was pointless to continue to deny the truth and preparing for war should be prioritized. While Shanks seems to always favor peaceful solutions, he will stand up and fight if the enemy leaves him no choice or if he wants to avoid further destruction to places he cares about.

Unlike some of his fellow Curse Breakers, Shanks is not arrogant and is fully capable of acknowledging the threat his enemies can pose. In his talk with Whitebeard, Shanks admitted the scar he got from Blackbeard was not because of a mistake on his part, but proof of Blackbeard's power at the time. This allowed Shanks to understand Blackbeard had been biding his time in Whitebeard's family to build up his power until he was ready to make his move. Despite his own immense strength, he does not underestimate his opponents, using his occlumency before fighting Kid Eustass and quickly jinxing him when he saw Kid's attack. When he decides that he needs to fight, he is ruthless, having a building destroyed and seemingly wiping out Kid's friends. This aspect makes Shanks harder to defeat compared to other wizards such as Kaidou, Big Mom, and Blackbeard; he will not give his opponent any openings or play around with them. Instead, he will properly crush them.

Shanks also has skills in diplomacy, which, coupled with his status as one of the most skilled Curse Breakers in the world, means that his words usually carry enormous weight for those aware of his reputation. He brokered a ceasefire between the Whitebeard family and the ministry because he knew that joining the fight himself would have tipped it against the aurors. Shanks managed to convince Sengoku, the then ministry of magic, to agree with his proposition, even though Sengoku has a strong hatred for him.

Despite being calm and brave most of the time, Shanks is sometimes surprisingly careless, acting and reacting in ways that are not always fitting to what others expect from him, a trait noted by Buggy to be "endlessly annoying". Those include panicking when things go wrong or shrugging off Buggy's angry disposition towards him to greet him in a friendly manner. That said, Shanks can be surprisingly serious and mature while dealing with certain topics, which runs opposite to his normal, fun-loving persona. It has been noted that he has problems relaxing while in enemy territory, causing his magic to burst out of his control, even though, outwardly, Shanks appears fine. Like many of his rival wizards, Shanks has an interest in having a life full of adventure, stating his intention to start battling for it after the downfalls of two of UK's most famous wizards, Kaidou and Big Mom. Additionally, Shanks is also aware that he needs the Elder Wand to achieve this goal and therefore does not shy away from fighting for the Deathly Hallow himself.

Having traveled around the world, Shanks believes the best sake can be found in his hometown, indicating a nostalgic streak. During his encounter with Whitebeard, he referred to alcohol as "healing water".

Like other wizards, Shanks has his own unique laugh, starting it with a "Da" (i.e., Dahahahahaha!).
