I Have This Huge AU That Will Probably Never Be Written, And It's Also My Brain Being Wack.

since people hate american marauders, fuck you, they’re now all from various states and most of them are involved in greek life in some way shape or form

barty says he’s from nyc but he’s a fucking liar. he is from an even richer even more pretentious part of upstate new york but one person assumed the city when he said he was from new york and he decided that was cooler and rolled with it. in a frat mostly to piss off his dad, always drunk or on something, still has a 4.0

dorcas is ACTUALLY from nyc. she’s majoring in polisci but is minoring in fashion cause it’s fun and she’s good at it

marlene is from a tiny town in tennessee, very conservative, VERY christian, really comes into herself at college although there is a LOT of religious trauma to work through

mary is from south carolina, she’s very much like a southern belle, make sweet tea that will rot your teeth type, 1000% in a sorority. she’s studying english or education and minoring in art, probably painting focused but she won’t be an art teacher

james is THE frat bro, like his dad and his dad’s dad and his dad’s dad’s dad were in this frat. he will be president eventually but for his freshman/sophmore years frank was president (james has a bit of a crush on him and did not realize) he’s studying sports medicine or social work and plays soccer

the black brothers are from massachusetts they went to some disgustingly expensive private schools, different schools though, either because sirius became awful after going to boarding school or because of trans!reg, your choice.

sirius joined the same frat as james, it’s the rival frat to his father’s so there’s some shit there. he isn’t on the soccer team because soccer wasn’t “sophisticated enough” for the blacks (he can fence and ski like a motherfucker though) but he does play soccer recreationally

regulus is studying law or finance or business or something equally awful because his parents made him, it’s soul crushing and he hates it but he is really good at it (as he is everything) he wants to study philosophy and will eventually switch when he gets out from under his parents thumb

lily and snape are from new england, i can’t think of like a specific place but it’s smaller and poorer, lily would be in an academic sorority but snape has a vendetta against greek life (cause he didn’t get any bids) and has also made lily very against it (hence her hatred for the marauders) her issues with petunia stem from pet not getting into the college, asking lily to stay behind with her, and lily just needing to get out of that small town

everyone loves texas remus but may i offer you like farm kid montana remus, his family has enough land and he was always busy enough that he never really got to interact with kids his age, maybe an accident with an animal that gave him his scars. he goes to college and joins a frat because growing up almost completely alone, that idea of unwavering brotherhood really appeals to him. he’s studying classics (shocker) which causes some fights with his dad who wanted him to do something more agricultural

peter is from illinois, it was a big deal for him to move out out state for college and join a frat since no body really expected anything from his life. he’s studying math. i think his storyline would kind of be like california by chappell roan, he really wanted the city to work out but it’s just not and he wants to go home. the city brings out the worst in him and he ends up becoming the worst version of himself to try and be liked

evan and pandora are from florida but moved all over because of their dad’s business. pandora is studying art (duh) with a minor in philosophy which is how she meets reg. evan is studying engineering, i’m thinking mechanical but i’m not too sure

Rosekiller that casually rest their hand on the others crotch. Like, they will be sitting together, and Evan will wrap an arm around Barty's waist and end with his hand cupping Barty's crotch. And Barty, in return, will snuggle in close, placing his hand on Evan’s crotch, without even meaning to (some of the time), it was just to keep his balance.

Evan, whenever they do this, will always cup Barty and Barty always without fail, will close his legs around Evans' hand so he can't leave.

Most of the time, it isn't even a sexual thing, it's their own form of casual intimacy.

The thing being Remus' wolf actually being an omega, so he's blushing furiously every time the jokes are made, and he subconsciously sighs and nuzzles back when James is breathing him in. And Moony is always suggling up to Prongs during the moons.

Remus Lupin stress bakes so his house always have some kind of treats around (quite often more than one kind)

I've been thinking about this for a while, mostly because I went from the House MD fandom back into the Harry Potter fandom.

So I have really been thinking about Wilson in the Harry Potter universe. Specifically him being apart of the Marauders.

He would be a Muggle born wizard who somehow knew more than the entire student body combined. Was sorted into Gryffindor.

He was that person that was incredibly kind and sweet to all, was on first names bases with everyone.

Was the type to get away with everything, like this dude received the most detention slips out of anyone for being out of bed past curfew, but didn't attend a single one and never got called out on it.

Made friends with the House elves and that's how he learned to become such a fantastic cook. His specialty was chocolate cake and them pancakes. (You all know the ones)

Was the first person to befriend Remus and figue out he was a werewolf. Gave him his love for chocolate.

(I don't know if animagi and patronus' can be different but for this they can be but are usually the same.) (Also, also I just have to make dead poets society references. And I love the stories where Neil and Wilson are the same person.)

His animagus form is a brown peregrine falcon, his nickname being Perry or Peregrine. His patronus is a brown bear. (Because generally, he's cute and sweet, but can hurt you if provoked.)

Isn't someone who got made at anyone, would get annoyed and irritated at times but never mad. (Was the middle ground for the fifth year incident that I personally refuse to acknowledge.)

The "James" for Harry's middle name was for both Wilson and Potter, though no one was told otherwise.

He was made Neville's godfather, but Neville's grandmother refused to acknowledge that Wilson was a part of the family.

Dislikes Dumbledore, blames him for all the too young lives lost in the first wizarding war.

Told Remus about the change in secret keeper, and that he should also probably go into hiding for the time being.

(Not even 2 days after the Potter incident, the entire suburb that Remus and Sirius had been living in was all burnt down by Death Eaters.)

Was there when Sirius tracked down Pettigrew. He arrived late and turned everyone around, away from the scene before he approached. So no one actually saw him, only Sirius. Something that Wilson deeply regrets.

Tried to fight for Harry and Sirius, with Remus, but no one was going to believe or trust a werewolf and a wizard who was planning on leaving the wizarding world after the war. Especially since there was no proof that Pettigrew was alive.

Moved to America shortly after the funeral. He swore he would never come back.

Remus and Sirius asked him to come back, and he does, because he'd just had his first proper fight with House and seeing old friends could do him good.

He shows up in order of the phoenix as the new professor for defence against the dark arts. (Umbridge is just there, you know)

Umbridge is the first person that Wilson finds himself genuinely hating.

He gets sacked along with Trelawney, but Dumbledore does the whole they don't have to leave the grounds thing. Umbridge becomes the DADA professor from there.

When Bellatrix escapes Azkaban, Wilson builds up the courage to tell Neville about being his godfather, who promptly breaks down.

Wilson helps Harry teach Dumbledore's Army. And does cool, stylish escape by turning into his animagus form, just before Dumbledore does the thing with the phoenix.

In half blood prince, he returns as a guidance counsellor (lord knows Hogwarts needs one). He is genuinely happy for Snape for getting the position he always wanted.

After the battle of Hogwarts, Harry found Wilson standing in front of Remus' body, just staring with tears running down his face. Harry gave him a hug and all Wilson said was,

"I'm the only one left now."

This is the reason that I will never finish reading atyd, I blame it for how Remus is now portrayed. Though I'm not putting hate on it, people are aloud to like what they like, just sometimes it feels like I'm reading an entirely different character.

it pisses me tf off when people who've never read the series, or watched any of the movies for that matter, try and treat canon with the same attitude they treat fanon. like a post will be talking about remus' actual personality and how his fanon characterisation destroys everything about him, goes against all he tried to be all his life, made it so that half-baked aids metaphor fans cling onto for dear life has turned super fucking problematic instead of just half-baked and careless after-thought esque rep like all of jkrs other rep...valid points. and a 12 yo who read only atyd and views remus as a greyback clone will say "he can be both 🤗"

yeah sure!! but he isn't tho. because his entire character is him being NOT that. so he CAN'T. in an au, it's interesting to explore, sure.

but rn?? factually? canonically? he isn't and there's no changing that but they'll never get that, because in fanon he's no one way, and they don't understand the difference.

u get me? he can't be because he's NOT. it's that simple.

"umm actually he's both a sweet book worm and an angry dominant beastly 6 foot thirty jock he's so cute and multifaceted"- ARE U HEARING YOURSELF???

not my remus. canon remus you will always be famous and i love your cowardly, anxious, self-loathing, average height, KIND, pushover self keep it up sis 🤎

tbh ive never heard of this discourse at all but i do think he's nerdy and not a weird alpha male so yeah !

Rosekiller in the great hall always acting and sounding like they are in the start of a porno. Everyone sort of stays clear of them fully expecting them to start raw dogging on the table one day.

This feels cannon

Like Moonwater definitely adopted Percy at some point

Prongsfoot having the twins, Minerva would wait until the last second to send them their Hogwarts letters because she is not ready for the extra chaos they would be if they were raised by them.

I love the thought of Wolfbuck having Oliver like yes he was definitely raised by someone who is willing to fuel the level of insane obsession that he has for Quiditch and the amont of passion he has for the sport. But also someone who can give him everything else about his personality.

Wait, but what if Bill actually was a werewolf instead of just being scratched by one 🤔

My rabbit hole has rabbit holed, so I don't know if this is a headcanon or fact, but is Luna related to Ollivander?

If so, I present to you wandmaker Luna Lovegood. Who continues the Ollivander wandmaker tradition. Not even because of Garrick, but because she finds it so interesting how the wands speak. And all the fine details that go into making a wand.

James was the mum friend in a "wraps you in a soft blanket and makes you tea when you're not feeling well" way.

Sirius needed someone to love him.

Remus needed someone to accept him.

Peter needed someone to value him.

And James made sure each of them went to bed smiling.

Regulus was the mum friend in a "chasing you around the house screaming at you to not put forks in the plug sockets" way.

Evan had no regard for safety, his own or others.

Barty has no impulse control.

Pandora did dangerous experiments on a daily basis.

Dorcas would do just about anything if you paid her enough.

And Regulus was just trying to keep those fucking idiots alive.

imagine this:

Barty’s anigmus form is a bat and whenever he gets really tired during the day, he’ll turn into his anigmus form and shove himself into Evan’s hoodie pocket

everyone asks Evan, “what’s with the lump in your pocket? What’s in it?” And Evan just pulls out his sleeping bat boyfriend and the people get scared bc what kind of freak just has a bat?
