Suddenly very much want to read fic where Harriet Potter has godmother Sirius Black. Not, like, everyone-is-swapped fic, fun as those are, just those two characters (plus Reg).

All four of the Marauders as girls (with Jamie crushing in Liam Evans) is a good story, I like that, but it is very different from three-boy-Marauders plus girl!Sirius, and I want that story. I want Sirius Black getting to Hogwarts and angrily rejecting everything she associates with Ladylike. Sometimes that’s gendered-girly things and sometimes it’s pureblood-society manners and sometimes it’s just anything at all that reminds her of her cousins. Striding around campus in Muggle jeans every moment they’re allowed out of school robes.

Snarling at rumors that she’s shagging all her friends and turning right around to stoke said rumors depending on her mood.

(the first time someone calls her a bitch after she gets her animagus form, she laughs so loud and hard and long that her friends get scared and Lily Evans walks her up to Madam Pomfrey)

Eleven-year-old Lily Evans and Sirius Black are very educational for each other. Sirius is trying to shed her family like a skin, but she doesn’t really understand yet why so many things she says make Lily (and a few other roommates) shocked or sad or mad. She learns (James helps).
Lily saw her best friend hesitate when she asked if being Muggle-born would matter, then drop a branch on her sister, and now her new roommate keeps offering glimpses into a world Severus insists “isn’t that bad, Lily, really” years sooner than she might’ve seen otherwise.

(they’re both quick to violence and arrogant as hell; the most efficient way to infuriate Sirius and Severus is say how alike they are, and Lily saves this comment for moments when she’s already furious too)

When Wormtail betrays their friends and murders twelve bystanders and Sirius goes to Azkaban for it, the Daily Prophet’s ensuing article compares Sirius to cousin Bellatrix at every chance.

She’d hate them for it, if she wasn’t so busy hating herself.

I was going to say ‘Muggle slacks’ but then I remembered other forms of trousers and ripped jeans fit Sirius’ punk style way better. Wizards think safety pins are useless so Sirius has as many as she can get her hands on pinned through her robes #gender shenanigans# Sirius Black and the Giant Middle Finger to Everyone#Sirius Black and her enchanted motorbike that makes Lily grin and she won’t explain why (via mzminola)
