A round of applause for Mary MacDonald, the REAL Casanova of the Gryffindor Tower. Thank you.
I want to give my 2 cents about the debate “would you prefer to be in the woods with a bear or a man?” So I wanted to give some reasons why picking a bear is the obvious answer:
Beforehand— The point is: it’s not that I will survive against the bear, it’s that I know how the bear will kill me.
• the bear will hurt you because he thinks you’re dangerous, the man will hurt because he knows your not.
• Both won’t stop if you say no, but the bear doesn’t understand what that means and the man does.
• With a bear the only fear is death.
• A bear sees a threat, a man sees an opportunity.
•The bear smelt fear, the man saw fear.
• A bear is violent by nature, a man is violent by choice.
• We can trust a bear to be a bear but can’t trust a human man to be humane.
• The worse thing a bear can do is kill you.
• The bear is doing it for survival, not fun.
• A bear will not seek my suffering.
• A bear can be reasoned with.
• The bear only has two thoughts: prey or escape.
• If I told someone a bear attacked me, they would believe me.
• They would find my body.
• Bears are more predictable.
• Bears is more likely to leave me alone.
• Bears only attack if that are hungry or scared.
• Bears will not act differently when it finds out you’re alone.
Effie: *telling stories of baby James, baby Marlene and baby Peter, and their childhoods to their friends*
Effie: “mamí my phone is gonna die, the card isn’t working” and I’d ask everytime “are you with anybody?”
Effie: cause I always— moms wanna know — is my son alone or does he have a friend that he’s at least with? And it was always:
Effie: “yeah, Marls and Pete”. So there was always this Marls and Pete who was always with him. And I thought “thank goodness for Marlene and Peter”.
Regulus: does she make you laugh?
James: she doesn’t make me cry.
Cassandra is mad woman’s sister btw
Just a reminder, James, Lily and Remus (and Peter) were planning a birthday party for Sirius but it never happened. Ans Sirius will never know because he never knew, because they could never tell him about it. He spend his birthday alone in a cell. No cake, no candles, no presents, no love, but in the cold and dark.
Ik it doesn’t make sense at all but in my head James Potter is amazing at every sport, like he just loves all sports and always has motivation, and talent, for them.
Maybe he got the muddy, hands in dirt, playing in the rain, speed, stamina, side from Monty and the adrenaline, need to be great, power, skill, side from Effie.
Or maybe it’s just greatness he always had, but in my head under whatever circumstances he is just good at sports
Marlene: you’re a fucking coward and I would have never done this to you. I would have never done this to you.
Remus: I dreamed of you while I was in my poison coma. I was all old and withered, but you were still nice and gold
James: you think I’m nice?
“But I have seen the same. I know the shame in your defeat.”
But it’s Marlene realising that Lily has to same feelings for boys as her.
Marlene: *bitching about another quidditch player that got best player because her and James got injured*
Marlene: I hate that bitch
James: [who has a concussion] you want her on a ditch???
Marlene: no, I said “I hate that bitch” ..but that too
