Headcanon that Orion and Walburga occasionally wrote to McGonagall to hear if their son was behaving.

The first few years McGonagall replied listing all incidents and pranks. Until she noticed how defeated and unhappy Sirius always looked when he returned after the holidays. (She could have sworn she saw bruises on his wrists one day).

So she changed tactics. She sent the Blacks detailed letters telling them how much Sirius had changed for the better and how well he was performing. And instead of telling his parents she called Remus into her office and told him everything Sirius had done hoping that he would have a good influence on the boy. This happened quite a lot so that one day when Remus was told to go see McGonagall in her office he just dropped the books he was holding and lifted his arms desperately yelling: “OMG, PADFOOT! WHAT IS IT NOW? WHO DID YOU KILL?”

When McGonagall ran into Sirius and Remus snogging in a deserted corridor in sixth year she nearly lost all hope. Remus was never called into her office again (at least not when it concerned Sirius). Instead someone else had to live with this burden. A very furious Lily Evans who one day climbed into the common room face red, a knive in her hand with James Potter following and trying to hold her back.

“SIRIUS MORON BLACK! JAMES MIGHT HAVE TAKEN MY WAND BUT THERE ARE PLENTY OF MUGGLE WAYS TO KILL YOU! YOU WILL APOLOGISE TO THOSE THIRD YEARS OR SO HELP ME GOD!”

Snape: Hey, Potter. What’s up with Lupin?
James: You mean the man who disappears every single full moon?
James: The man whose first name has to due with wolves?
James: The man whose last name means ‘Moon’?
James: The man whose father’s name means ‘Wolf’?
James: The man whose Patronus is a wolf?
Snape: Yeah.
James: No clue.

from-james-to-lily:

i need a jily AU where james and lily are both first year graduate students

  • james is a math major
  • lily is a chemistry major
  • lily is taking her midterm in class for her physical chemistry class
  • it’s quite possibly the hardest class she’s ever taken
  • why is there so much math
  • why
  • because of the exam, classrooms and times are rearranged and the typical statistical physics class that meets here was canceled
  • but james, not reading the emails, saunters in twenty minutes late
  • what an idiot lily thinks as she hears somebody walk in
  • he doesn’t even realize he’s in the wrong class
  • oh there’s a midterm? hm, i could’ve sworn it was next week
  • the teaching assistant just smirks, hands him the 26-page exam packet
  • james finds an empty seat and realizes he forgets a pencil
  • he taps the redhead sitting next to him for a pencil
  • lily looks up
  • kill me he’s cute
  • why are all the stupid ones cute
  • she all but throws an old green pencil at him
  • she goes back to problem three, confused out of her mind
  • maybe i’ll just take up baking i could make a living off baking ugh why didn’t i study harder what does this symbol even mean again
  • she doesn’t even notice he’s flipping through the pages, scribbling some answers and derivations
  • an hour into the exam, he sits up and turns in the test and leaves
  • does he just not care

    lily screams in her head how did he even get into this university

  • finally, after the eighty minutes were up, she turns in her exam with utter defeat
  • a week later, her professor announces the top score, a 96%, beating the rest of the class by solid 20% margin
  • how on earth does anyone get 96% on that exam, it was impossible!
  • her professor continues: “to a mr. james potter”
  • the class of fifty looks around: who the heck is james potter
  • after a moment of confusion and nobody claiming the test
  • lily turns red
  • that was him
  • halfway across campus, james potter walks into his organic chemistry elective course with an old green pencil behind his ear
  • man i hate organic chemistry

Lily: Why is James all curled up in a ball in the middle of the common room?
Sirius: Oh Prongs? Yeah, he does that every year. It’s kinda cute, isn’t it? He’s like a little puppy.
Remus: Padfoot, I’m pretty sure he’s having a panic attack. I’ll go over and–
Sirius: Okay, Moony, I get it. You’re a prefect, you like fixing things. But James is a very delicate ecosystem. The Quidditch star, marauder, and genius all balance out to perfect straight-O’s. Mess with one part and you mess with everything. He’s the human equivalent of a coral reef.
Peter: Uh-oh. Someone’s trying to help him.
Sirius: *casting a charm to block the unsuspecting student*
Sirius: HE’S A CORAL REEF!
Remus: *sighs*
Remus: I’ll go apologize…

can u believe there was literally a prophecy about James and Lily having a kid together like….. for the sake of Comedic Effect forget abt all the other terrifying and traumatic implications of that prophecy and take a moment to think abt how James Potter would react to the fact he was literally destined to have world-saving sex with Lily Evans

Guys let’s be real. Remus Lupin was so not the mother hen of the marauders- that bitch would skip meals to study and refuse help after full moons and laugh at his friends when their pranks would backfire.

The real mother hen was James “Remus stop picking at that scar you’re going to make it bleed, Sirius you’re not too punk for breakfast sit down and eat your eggs, Peter as much as I approve of your chess skills you need to stop and do your Charms homework” Potter.

Imagine once Sirius runs away to live with the Potters, Sirius is doing something ridiculous and James and Mrs. Potter walk in at the same time, and scold him at the same time in the same tone of voice, and all the color just drains out of James’ face and he goes to his room and won’t come out for supper because he can still hear Sirius and Mrs. Potter roaring with laughter and he knows he’ll never live this down because oh god he’s become his mother.
