Lily potter is sitting in the corner, of her baby’s bedroom, by the door trying to calm and shush the both of them, while she hears James going down, because of Peter. She can hear Voldemort ordering Pete to go upstairs.
She knows she won’t live, she knows this is her last day. She suddenly thinks back to her sister, saying this, magic, would be the death of her. Oh god, she was right.
Peter opens the door and turns around to meet Pete’s eyes. (It’s Pete’s eyes, but it isn’t Pete.)
Then it clicks in Lily’s mind: he did it. He was the spy, the traitor, the one who killed Marlene. Suddenly she thinks;
She’s hiding in the corner of a room, sobbing trying to shush herself, she knows her family is dead, and she knows she won’t survive.
And now she knows how Marlene McKinnon felt, Now she knows how Joan of Arc felt.
modern au liiy and petunia LOVE barbie with all their heart. when they were kids, they had marathons of every movie at least once a year.
when they became teenagers it happened less frequently, simply because petunia went through phases where she thought she was too "adult" to watch children's films, but even then she surrendered whenever lily started watching alone.
one day lily forced severus to watch with them and half the session was petunia and severus fighting and seriously discussing the plots of the films while lily laughed.
and at the end, each one made a ranking of best film + best barbie + best companion. lily's favorite movie is barbie a fairy secret, severus' one is barbie in a christmas carol and petunia's one is barbie in the 12 dancing princesses.
we all should focus on lily—her complicated relationships with her sister and with snape, her falling for james after many years of rejecting him, mary—her challenges of being a black woman and a muggleborn, marlene—her realisation she’s a lesbian or her working class background and more punk-ish values (bc it’s a common hc i see), black sisters dynamic (ITS A GOD TIER ANGST YALL ARE SLEEPING ON), we should also give dorcas a generally agreed upon characterisation. what we don’t need is a new male ship/character every other week, damn
Hari raised by Wolfstar :D
Hi, Anon! Thank you for voting! I’ll add it to my chart. Also, loved that you used Hari’s Indian name💜
I wanted to take the chance to also thank everyone who’s been voting, please keep them coming! The vote won’t end until I’ve finished (or mostly finished) my Marauders’ era part of the rewrite. If you’ve got any comments or questions about it, please let me know!
For anyone that’s wondering what the vote is about, you can go ahead and see it here!
Harry Potter Rewrite: Help!
I’ve been outlining more or less what I want the final result for my Harry Potter rewrite to look like but I’m stuck on two outcomes of Hari’s childhood:
NOTE: I have a headcanon in which the Potters are Indian, so James names his son Hari. I think I mentioned this before, if I didn’t, feel free to ask about it.
Hari is raised by his Aunt Petunia, but she leaves Vernon.
Petunia’s marriage starts falling apart when Lily dies.
Vernon didn’t let her go to her sister’s funeral because he was sure that the place would be crawling with “freaks”. Even if Petunia begged, he would still prevent her from going.
Vernon made nasty comments about Lily and James’ death, saying that they’re two less freaks to worry about.
Eventually Petunia leaves her husband and moves back in with her parents (who are alive in this version).
Petunia decides to go to college, a decision supported by her parents since they promised to help her financially and with the boys.
She studies to become an English teacher.
She loves her job. Also, she might fall in love with the History teacher.
She remarries, and it’s a man who treats her right and is good with the boys.
Both boys are treated equally while with her.
Dudley and Hari get along well. Although whenever Dudley returns from his weekends at his father’s, they fight a lot.
Hari grows up knowing he’s a wizard and knowing (more or less, because Petunia didn’t have all the details) what had happened to his parents.
Many more…
Hari is raised by Sirius Black and Remus Lupin.
Remus, along with several other people who believed Sirius was innocent, start protesting and putting pressure on the Ministry so that they can give Sirius a proper trial.
Sirius is renamed innocent.
Dumbledore still refuses to hand Hari over to them, even though they were the rightful guardians of the child.
The last straw is when Dumbledore casually corrects them and says that Hari’s name has been changed to Harry.
They whitewashed his name. They were livid.
Remus and Sirius, along with some handpicked friends to help them, manage to kidnap Hari.
They take him to Wales, further away from Remus’ former home. They cast an insane amount of spells to hide themselves from Dumbledore. They were untraceable.
Other than the protections needed, they lived a muggle life.
They have other children (the names I’m still working out), there’s five kids in total.
Two of those children are werewolves, attacked at a young age by another wolf pack that’s not Fenrir Greyback. They—Remus, especially—wanted to bring them comfort when he found out about them.
Hari lives in a loud, chaotic household in the middle of nowhere.
Lyall Lupin eventually moves in with them because Remus worried for his father—the man was old and alone.
And many more…
NOTE: The outcome of the votings will determine the overall plot of Hari’s era. Choose wisely, what do you want to see?

can this go popular? please I'm begging on my knees I'm already invested I-
Hard launching my new marauders ship I pulled out of the darkest pit of my mind whilst bored in a lecture
@vulcajes credit for coming up the new and improvised ship name 🌸🐍
for the fandom that loves drarry and jegulus, and complains that the female characters (and sapphic ships)—specifically lily evans—dont get enough love, theres barely any noise for narcissa x lily
the slytherinxgryffindoor, black family drama, foils whos love for their sons saved the wizarding world
black cat, rich girl and academic weapon muggleborn bond over their estranged sibling dynamics and want for a family to protect and love
the tension between present narcissa and snape (especially when she has him form an unbreakable vow to protect her son) when they both wanted lily but fumbled it to protect themselves
the angst when draco comes home complaining about the potter boy—who, just like in narcissa’s life, lily is hidden within, not in surname but in the eyes and the heart.
the extra weight it puts on the scene where narcissa defies Voldemort in telling him that harry is dead. my son is safe so i will give you the same favour, lily.
both lily and narcissa marrying into families notoriously loud and opposing on the wizengamot—marrying young to the pretty and popular, but also asshole boys from school
narcissa watching draco complain about how harry is dating the cool jock, and then much later watching her son mourn his dead lover
Thanks ai...
Why don't you apologise? (Draft)
I'm gonna start by saying this is a chapter I wrote on this fanfic I'm writing. I'm really happy with this chapter and I'm wondering about the opinions of whoever reads it. The story is on the Archive of our Own website. It's about Fem Severus Snape who raises the son of Sirius Black and doesn't become a death eater. One of the ships is a one-sided Sirius Black/Severus Snape, where Sirius has an obsession with Snape but she doesn't return his feelings. If anyone wants more context I'm gonna slyly suggest (advertise) reading my story. Spoilers: The son in question is named Caesar and Sirius doesn't know it's his son, but believes it's Regulus' son. Caesar was adopted by Snape.
Have yet to see more obsessed Sirius so I'm writing them myself.
Sirius was at home alone, sitting in the living room in silence downing some whisky. The home in question used to be owned by his uncle Alphard, and while Alphard was a purist and dark wizard, he loved his nephew very much, or maybe he hated Walburga that much. As a final middle finger to his older sister he gave everything he owned that wasn't directly connected to the Black lordship to her most disgraced child. It was weird of Alphard to leave him some gold and a home, but he was always the strange one in the family.
Sirius never understood his dear uncle. Alphard and Regulus had the same doppelganger, and Sirius himself had the face of Sirius the 2nd, and was less like either of them. Walburga also made sure he was a walking copy of her. That didn't stop Sirius from theorising, it helped with his investigation skills.
Sirius always hated the leash she kept on him, and Alphard saw that. Alphard discreetly rejected his own father's ways, in what, Sirius had yet to discover. Alphard taught him well, guiding him on how to piss off his own mother. Sirius did every step in understanding glory. He made it his mission to show her who should be in control by doing the opposite of what she wanted, and while a lot of his punishments included the cruciatus he grew accustomed to them. He even grew to enjoy them. This is love isn't it? Walburga did that to show him she loved him.
So Sirius pissed her off even more. He made friends with a Potter, who came from a light family, and joined Gryffindor house, the breeding ground for blood traitors and mudbloods everywhere. What was great about James is that he wasn't like any other light child Sirius came across, there was a familiarity with him. Sure, he turned out to be equally as dark, but you'd think he'd at least try to be light. Remus as well, who was alright for a half blood. Those were Sirius' thoughts at the time. Who knew there was a beast underneath Remus? Sirius secretly admired Moony, the creature could cause so much destruction, and Sirius honestly believed he should let Moony take control more often.
Why did any of this matter? He was going over what his nephew had told him. He knew what he should do, but didn't understand the steps. Even if the answer was clear it was hard for him to get to the point of it.
I was taught that I was showing love. Sirius thought to himself. I know that everything is wrong now, but how much of it was?
"It's not real love you felt for mum." came a voice in the back of his mind. It sounded like Caesar. His nephew. "I read about it. I've seen it. I've felt it. My eyes don't spark up like yours do when I think of my dear Lavender." Sirius didn't recall his nephew saying those things. "There's no way a crush looks like that. I don't doubt that you loved her, but there was no way everything was love."
The intruding voice said it like an echo.
"Grandma didn't love Grandpa, now did she? She only loved the ownership, the power. She claimed him ever since she first saw him, just like Pollux saw Irma. Just like Cygnus saw Druella." He felt a chill. "Just like you saw mama."
Sirius did claim her, this was true. He decided she was his. His darling. A strong woman to break, and when she starts accepting him into her heart he treats her well. It made sense at the time. Surely it still does. Petunia loves hurting him, she likes the pain too. It wasn't bad for them.
"You're just like them. Your family. Insane, carrying some kind of sickness or oddity. And each curse has a counter to it."
As eager as Sirius was, there was no way he'd bed anyone by the age of 13. Sirius didn't hate muggles. Severina was half blooded, his heart decided she was the one, there was no way. Besides, Petunia... The feelings he felt for her were natural. She made him submit.
"Thankfully for her, too bad for you, someone got to her first. Loved her before you could."
Oh, Regulus. Regulus! That dear little brother of his. Death was announced in the daily prophet, Sirius recalled reading the words. They didn't know who the killer was. And then came Orion's passing. Sirius wasn't invited to the funeral but it was right there on the daily prophet. Right after Regulus' own announcement. Sirius didn't understand why it was important for everyone to see, but it was important for him.
How was it for Regulus? Loving her? Was it natural or was it something else? Did he hurt her? There was no way, Walburga hardly saw the point in Regulus, he had Orion's weakness. What was that weakness?
That's why Regulus never had to apologise. He never hurt anyone, physically. James' wife says otherwise, she believed he broke Sev's heart. Nothing Evans said could be trusted, she wasn't that smart, but she knew the most about Severina's past self. She knew that Severina and Regulus went out. She approved. He must've been good to her if Evans approved.
All Sirius did was hurt her, he would know. He enjoyed doing it. He even made up a nickname for the best memory, she never cried afterwards. He hasn't seen her cry since their first year. Looking back, maybe that was best. He didn't deserve that privilege. Seeing a happier version of her was more preferable. She didn't damn him, but she hid her contempt. He saw it in her eyes but with how unreadable her face was he didn't see it, too busy enjoying her presence.
Sometimes it was like looking at a different person.
What else did Sirius do, to have his own nephew confront him about it? He now concluded the pain part, but there was something else. Something else. Something else.
Wait, that night.
That full moon.
He wanted to share his secret with her.
His best friend, Prongs saved her. That was his fault.
She almost died. He almost lost her, that was him. Sirius could never murder his own wife, but that night said otherwise and Dumbledore did nothing about it. He just made it worse. They all deserved to rot in Azkaban.
"That's right, you're getting there. Keep thinking, old man." came Caesar's voice.
I almost killed her.
"Bingo."
"I almost killed her." he said out loud.
If Sirius didn't understand the saying of blood going cold he definitely did now, as the image of those scared black eyes replayed in his mind.
Yes, I fancasted Aya Cash as fem Snape while she was in her Stormfront attire.
