Oooh or imagine this.
So Harry’s in the crystal cave with Dumbledore right? And Dumbledore just sent out a wave of fire to destroy the Inferi. Only Harry still sees a body crawling out of the water. And it doesn’t look like an Inferi. In fact, it looks like a boy. Maybe a year or two older than him.
And the boy coughs and splutters before looking up.
And his face melts with relief and he cries,
“James! Thank you! I know, I know, you’re going to yell at me. Save it for Sirius. Where is he? I thought he’d be the one to bring me out? Ingenius, isn’t it? The lake, I mean. The Dar-Voldemort put a spell on the entire body of water. It traps and preserves anything that enters it. The boat. The Inferi. And me, I suppose. It keeps us from decaying. It keeps us from escaping. Only way out is if someone summons us. Honestly, thank you. Hey, why are you staring at me like that? It’s okay, really. I’m fine. Knock it off, mate. You’re scaring me. Look, is Kreacher still here? He has the real horcrux. I told him to – is that Dumbledore? Why would you bring Dumbledore? I thought you and Sirius hated him? Where is my brother anyway? What – what’s wrong? Why do you look so s – James – James, what on earth happened to your forehead?”

Sirius Black and Regulus Black didn’t have bodies to bury.
Okay but you know that if Sirius and Regulus had been alive/free and Harry’s guardians, they would have known that something was going on with Ginny almost immediately.
Like the Weasleys grew up in a household filled with Muggle items and rustic, charming, quirky, things. It makes sense that they wouldn’t have been able to detect the dark magic.
But Sirius and Regulus? Those two grew up in a household filled with all sorts of dark, twisted, objects. It’s pretty much a given that Walburga’s idea of interior decorating was using objects from Borgin and Burkes. They’d be able to sense dark magic from a mile away.
Like Ron and Ginny would visit Harry one day over the summer and Ginny would be like, “Look at my new diary; isn’t it nice?”
And Sirius and Regulus would just be like, “Yeah…we’re going to have to have a look at that.”
Not to mention the fact that Regulus would know what a horcrux is, so he would probably be able to recognize it. And there’s a 99% chance that they would recognize the name T. M. Riddle.
I can just imagine Sirius being like, “Okay, we’re going to invite Uncle Mad-Eye to this play date.”
Several minutes later, the house is filled with all sorts of Order members who are able to take the necessary measures to destroy the diary before it even becomes an issue.
Sirius and Regulus both buy Ginny a Muggle diary to make up for it.
I lowkey love that Regulus is described as being less handsome than Sirius.
I mean I couldn’t care less about his physical appearance I just really love how that’s the way Harry chose to describe him.
Imagine if all brothers were introduced that way. In a novelization of Gravity Falls, the author describes Ford as being less handsome than Stan. If, in the books, Mycroft was described as being less handsome than Sherlock. Prince of Egypt opens up with the beautiful song that leads Moses to Queen Tuya and she picks him up and says that Ramses is less handsome than he is.
It’s just such a passive aggressive compliment/insult.
On his thirteenth birthday, Regulus used the money that his parents had given him to purchase a beautiful black mamba.
It curled around his arm and would hiss at him throughout the day. Regulus would hiss back, occasionally giggling.
Sirius would often stomp around, grumbling. Of course Regulus was a damn Parselmouth and wait why are you laughing what did you just say about me? I know you’re talking about me, Reg! Stop. Laughing. Reg.
Truth is – Regulus was never a Parselmouth at all.
He just really enjoyed messing with Sirius.
Can we have a Harry Potter AU where Regulus Black is the Death Eater spy turned potions master instead of Snape?
I can’t believe I only JUST realized all the comedy potential that is Sirius showing up to kill Peter 3rd year and finding his supposedly evil brother working at Hogwarts and having civil conversations with Remus about Harry’s grades
Please let this be after a full year of awkwardness of Regulus working with his evil brother’s ex
Sirius and Regulus are both convinced they’re the good brother
james: james is actually short for jimothy
sirius: bullshit
james: you know my dad’s name is fleamont right
sirius: …huh
sirius black: imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, escaped to go commit that crime as fast as possible
Can we talk about the fact that Sirius Black probably know how to play an instrument?
His family would have most likely required it in order for him to be considered ‘well bred’
I was actually just thinking about this today, and here’s what I came up with:
- Sirius plays violin.
- When the other Marauders catch wind, they transfigure a violin for him as a joke
- They figure that it’ll be funny, that it’ll knock him down a peg– just a peg, mind (it needs doing, on occasion)
- “Haha, punk-rock Sirius black plays classical violin”
- But when they give the violin to him, he gets all quiet
- Remus, who was dubious about the plan from the start, watches with growing concern as Sirius stares at the polished wooden instrument in his lap
- Realizing that memories of cruel words and the crack of wood on skin must be rushing through his boyfriend’s head
- The Marauders wonder for a moment if Sirius will cry or shout or break the instrument over his knee
- But instead a little smile quirks the corner of his mouth
- He lifts the violin to his shoulder
- And he launches into a fiery, wailing reel
- Something wild and entirely muggle
- Something that his parents would vehemently abhor
- And everyone in the common room stops to watch as his bow frays on the strings, just barely keeping up with his left hand, which is nothing but a blur
And that, children, is how leather-jacket-wearing, motorbike-riding, chain-smoking Sirius Black used fiddle music to rebel against his pure-blood family.
