some of the random marauders era headcanons from my notes app
note: i’m sick so if none of this makes sense and all of it is shit i’m sorry. i’m now gonna go take a nap and probably delete this when i wake up. bye.
mostly james, lily and remus on this list
- lily is a total horror nerd
- remus was always high during his school years
- remus rolling joints for sirius but make it romantic
- dorcas rolling joints for marlene but make it romantic
- apparently the moral of the story is that rolling joints for your significant other is very romantic for gay, mentally ill, magical teenagers
- all of the marauders(+lily eventually) are extremely proficient in occulo repairo cause james broke his glasses so often(james’ glasses are pretty much just magic at this point)
- peter is really good at sneaking around, he’s the one who found like half of the secret passageways at hogwarts. without him the marauders would have been caught way more
- remus and dorcas get high together(only weed)
- lily definitely smoked, both cigs and weed, she’d get her weed from dorcas, she low-key didn’t trust the shit remus smoked
- lily and sirius would often smoke in the astronomy tower together when their home lives became too much. sometimes they’d talk and other times they’d just sit in each other’s company, cause while their situations may of been different they still felt camaraderie over their fucked up families
- remus curses more than the rest of them combined
- lily curses the most after remus
- lily has pretty dark humor
- lily’s hair is a dark, deep red that seems almost unnatural, it always made her stand out. it also became another thing that petunia called lily a freak for, so when lily met james and he remarked on her hair she thought he was making fun of her, when in reality he just thought it was really pretty and just really wanted to touch it
- sirius likes to make constellations out of remus’ freckles. enough said.
- sirius has some flat moles scattered across his body, not a lot but still a good few
- remus loves to kiss sirius’ moles
- sirius is ticklish. like severely. not that he would EVER admit that
- james is very artistic. he’s the one that designed the marauders map. he will also doodle on everything, school work, skin(his own and his friends), jeans, shoes, books, walls, anything. it causes many issues. he often has to redo school work because of this. the amount of times he had to redraw the map because he absentmindedly started doodling on it is honestly ridiculous. when he and lily started dating she became his favorite canvas. lily loved it, but sometimes it became very inconveniencing
- lily annotates her books. a lot. and if she really loves a book she’ll do it so much that she has to get a new copy because the book becomes unreadable and starts to fall apart
- remus annotates his books too and him and lily will annotate books they read and exchange them with each other to annotate
- james eats a lot of spicy food. sirius absolutely can not handle spicy food. this caused a lot of problems, especially when sirius moved in with the potter’s. lily actually likes spicy food but can’t handle the same amount of heat as james.
- sirius could never fully shake the upperclass mannerisms that his parents ingrained into him and would sometimes comes off snobby, especially during first year. this caused a lot of issues between sirius and remus during first year(and sometimes for the rest of their lives, especially during arguments).
- mary wanted nothing to do with the war(tbh i don’t blame her)
- marlene was lily’s first kiss but lily wasn’t marlene’s.
- dorcas meadows was the baddest bitch to ever live. dorcas was an extremely good fighter and well versed in both light and dark magic and was willing to use that knowledge to her advantage.
- if it wasn’t for james the marauders probably wouldn’t have been friends. he was absolutely the glue that kept them together
- james was very charismatic, not in a suave way but he had a tendency to draw people to him.
- sirius is classically trained in the piano. he doesn’t play often but he’s actually very good
- lily is the one that introduces sirius to motorcycles and is the one to go with him to buy his. she also helped him charm it. they practically gave james a heart attack the first time they took it in the air
- james is very naturally gifted and talented when it came to magic but he still had to study for exams and assignments. he was very serious about it and had a very precise study regimen. it was one of the only times he’d actually snap at sirius(for interrupting him). sirius would often make himself scarce when james was studying and go hang out with someone else
- lily snuck into the restricted section more than the marauders ever did. nobody knew until the marauders finished the map. it was a whole fiasco, but in the end they both agreed to keep each others secrets(though that was more like a threat coming from lily).
- lily was often times very last minute when it came to studying and doing her assignments. she tends to get sidetracked with whatever side projects or extra curricular knowledge she seeks(which is often not school approved, or legal for that matter). she had a bad habit of waiting until the night before an assignment was do to do it and would stay up until the early morning to do it. the only people who knew that she did this was her dorm mates and the marauders. she would regularly sneak out and into the library at night/early morning cause of these reasons and the marauders and her ran into each other sneaking around during third year. also a random hufflepuff kid named dorian knew(dorian was a first year and lily was a fifth year when they ran into each other sneaking around)(dorian’s a sweetheart, the sweetest bean)(lily and dorian became besties after this and lily totally took him under her wing because i say so(someone write a fic)). the professors never knew.
- peter was often times unintentionally hilarious, he could always make someone crack up and he loved that
- lily is generally a very chill person, however some people just have a special talent in knowing what buttons to push *cough*james*cough*
- remus is the most sarcastic person you will ever meet
- remus came up with a good chunk of their pranks
- lily actually found the marauders pranks amusing and interesting, when they weren’t used to bully someone. unless that person was someone who was a shitty person, then she wouldn’t care but didn’t want anything to do with it. unless said shitty person went after someone she cared about, then she became very vindictive and the marauders learned early on to get out of her way. when the marauders went after someone she cared about(snape) or someone innocent she would become extremely furious, which would quickly lead to confrontation between them, james and lily mostly
- lily had a very sharp tongue and would often make very quick witted, cutting remarks
- lily knew a lot of hexes, jinxes and (not that many people knew this) curses. like she knew some pretty dark and dangerous stuff. don’t even get me started on some of the potions she knew.
- the james, sirius and remus were all very naturally strong and talented wizards and they would use their spell repertoires in very creative and unique ways, which made them formidable foes, however one of the reasons that peter was able to keep up with thin was because while he might not be as physically or magically strong and more average, he was a quick thinker and quick reacting, which helped him stay ahead of people who could overpower him
- james potter: the helicopter parent
