don’t get me wrong, i’m 100% sure orion defended his wife with claws and teeth, specially when it was sirius the one fighting her.
i imagine sirius rebellious strike reminded walburga too much of herself so she was definitely worried how he would turn up. and because of that they bickered often. and while sirius also picked up fights with his dad, orion didn’t react as badly unless he felt sirius had gone too far with walburga.
he might not thought it as: that’s my wife you’re disrespecting, boy, but more importantly that’s YOUR MOTHER.
orion understood the sacrifices walburga made for the sake of her family and while he accepted with dignity the fact that she might never love him, he did protect her (not that she really needed it).
that’s the reason walburga don’t mind that much, cause he’s present in all the ways she needs him to be.
and that’s why when and if ever he is unfaithful, he goes out of his way to pick a witch outside their circles. but with druella is personal, it’s has to do more with himself than with her wife.
just in general i think that however wrong and misguided their actions might be, pure blood families, especially old ones like the blacks and malfoys, valued their families above anything else.
there’s a reason they got to be MOST ANCIENT but also, there’s a reason the family finally crumbled.
(we all know if sirius had survived he either wouldn’t have had kids or would’ve done MUCH MUCH MUCH differently).
i think walburga wouldn’t care for orion being unfaithful as long as 1) he was discreet about it and 2) he didn’t get involve with anyone near her circle. after all, their marriage isn’t rooted in love.
problem is, orion and cygnuss have been feuding ever since they were kids (orion is closer to him in age than walburga) and finally he decided to start an affair with druella, who happens to be not only is his cousin’s wife but also the one woman walburga despises the most (she never wanted for her to marry his brother).
meanwhile alphard knows all this is happening and stays as far away as possible from all the drama, cause even if he tells his sister, she would find a way to blame him somehow, shot the messenger and all that.
honestly i agree with everything.
all this fluff overload unlocked a scene i picture in my mind a while back. astra might get her fluffly one shot after all (though i’ll have to work hard not to turn into angst cause that’s my weakness 😬)
Sirius will literally have his hand in Marlene's back pocket at all times. They're standing casually talking to their friends and he slips his hand into the pocket of her jeans. He's standing so close to her that nobody notices he's doing it. It's simutaneously the most innocent and most erotic thing
sirius not giving a fuck about the prank, but also being so surprised that snape actually showed up is so precious to me. "damn. i thought i have made it clear that i hate him. wdym he came?"
my best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in ur life and it can become a vice if you play your cards right
i wanna boi but it’s wolfstar
and yet in sirius black we thrust 🙏🏻
"Does it hurt?" asks Harry.
"Easier than falling asleep," says Sirius never-experienced-the-killing-curse Black.
okay so 7 is considered the perfect number. so there’s 7 immortals: marls, sirius, james, remus, peter, regulus (views opposite to the rest of them) and mary (who is tragically imprisoned somewhere no one knows).
enters lily, but since there can only be 7, marlene starts losing her immortality.
marauders au in which they are immortals (base on the old guard).
need to stop coming up with new ideas when i can’t even update anything right now. but i can’t. too many ideas.
marls being the oldest immortal before crossing paths with the marauders. james and sirius playing russian roulette constantly in their first years. remus becoming a sniper. peter the strategic mind behind all their ventures. sirius being the only one that can contact marls when they need her. them trying to get to the new inmortal: lily evans, before government finds out. tempted to add regulus for the drama. sirius having to deal with his shit, maybe a little moonwater?
"Mary is irrelevant—" as if she wasn't part of the reason Snape and Lily broke up....
