Don’t Worry, All, The Parent AU Is In The Works :)

I know that Harry is, in cannon, on the taller end of average height, but I just… don’t see it. Like, he was abused and neglected and malnourished all throughout his developing years. Bro is not tall. He’s fucking tiny. Like, within the 5’2 - 5’5 range. He’s so small. Malnourishment and neglect in children, especially in the early stages of life, permanently stunts growth! Harry was very severely malnourished and neglected, therefore he is small. Sorry not sorry.

LITERALLY! Because at least a boggart can’t choose whether or not it’s dark, whereas someone else can.

James Potter would sooner start a family with a boggart than ever be romantically involved with someone who has even the remotest interest in the Dark Arts.

Sirius runs hot, Remus runs cold. Remus’ hands and feet are constantly frozen. When they sleep, Remus warms himself up by tucking his toes against Sirius’ legs and shoving his hands up his shirt/pressing them against his chest or back. Sirius never says anything, even though it’s always jarring and uncomfortable, because Remus is sleeping and cute. Remus also likes creeping up behind Sirius and putting his cold-ass hands up the back of his shirt, because it makes Sirius yelp and he finds it hilarious.

Sirius does this really fun thing where, because he was surrounded by the very powerful House of Black growing up, he just does really impressive bits of magic without acknowledging it and everyone around him is so awestruck. Then he’s there like “what you can’t wandlessly and wordlessly cast a patronus charm???”

Anyways they both cry like babies when they find out. Sirius tells anyone who will listen that Remus is the best partner ever and Remus gushes to his closest friends about Sirius.

Sirius creating a charity to help werewolves deal with transformations, fight prejudices and find work.

Remus creating a charity to help kids in abusive families and victims of unforgivable curses.

(both of them cried when they found out what the other did for them. A, because it's sweet and B, because they needed that support when they were younger)

I don't know why but this has been floating around my mind for days

“I need my mom” moments hit different when your mom is the whole problem

Shit, man, why are all of your takes so correct

Regulus Black Headcanons?? Or Remus Lupin headcanons:)

First off, I’d love to thank you for taking the time to send me an ask! Now, how about both?

Let’s start with Regulus, because I have less to say about him.

He’s trans. I did a longer post related to this, but it just makes sense to me.

He’s aro/ace. No more comments on this. Maybe he’s not completely aro/ace but he’s on the spectrum.

Speaking of spectrums, he’s autistic.

He excels in potions and charms, but falls short in DADA (ironically) and transfiguration (double ironic, considering his brother).

Looked up to Sirius more than anyone else.

Hated James more than anything for “stealing” his brother.

Hated Remus for getting more attention from Sirius.

Believed his parents over everything once they started getting mean with Sirius.

Really small— like, 5’2 - 5’3 and all of 100 pounds.

Did genuinely support Voldemort until just before his death.

Died hoping that Sirius would find his note and realize that he ended up like him. He wanted to make his brother proud.

He was not a good or bad person. He was deeply flawed and could be awful, but he was also a victim of his parents manipulation.

Was not abused to the extent that Sirius was, but he was mistreated and neglected.

He didn’t have any real friends and didn’t like people much, if at all.

He would’ve been either a potion maker or a part of the wizegamot if he lived.

Alrighty, that was more than I expected. On to Remus!

He is also trans.

He is biromantic and homosexual (experiences romantic attraction to people of multiple genders, but only sexual attraction to men).

He and Lyall had a very strained relationship when we was young, because Lyall blamed himself for Remus being bitten.

Has PTSD, paranoia, and very bad anxiety.

A very heavy sleeper most of the time. He also requires a lot of sleep to function and loves sleeping.

Takes a lot of naps.

Has chronic back and leg pain that worsens around the moon and his period.

Has sharper canine teeth and pointy ears, like a wolf.

Very very very socially awkward and doesn’t understand people.

Also autistic.

Excels in care of magical creatures and charms. Struggles with arithmancy and transfiguration.

Always cold.

Steals Sirius’ (or whoever you headcannon him being with) jumpers, mostly so he can do sweaterpaws and because he loves drowning in him clothes.

He’s always scared of physical contact because he’s worried he’ll hurt people.

He’s a cuddler. He acts like he isn’t (see previous headcannon), but he loves being held and loved.

He prefers being the little spoon, but he’ll be the big spoon if his partner wants.

He’s pretty average height— about 5’10– but very skinny and light, about 115 pounds.

Surprisingly sensitive. He acts very aloof and calm, but he takes things very hard internally.

Not an angry person. Most of his “negative” emotions just translate to sadness and self blame.

Quite insecure, but not debilitatingly so. He just perpetually underestimates himself and doesn’t like himself all that much.

Was a virgin until Sirius (or whoever you headcannon him with).

Is pretty afraid of people. He worries that they’ll figure out his secrets.

Very kind and patient, but can be short-tempered around the full moon.

Not a natural straight-O student. He studies very hard to get good grades. He needs to make sure he uses the opportunity for schooling he was given!

Is very evasive and self-blaming whenever he gets angry, mostly out of guilt.

Crooked teeth.

Super close with Hope. She was his only friend until Hogwarts.

If he wasn’t an only child, he’d be the youngest sibling, just on account of vibes.

He really likes being independent and truly hates having to fully depend on anyone, especially when he has to.

Has freckles on his face and shoulders and knees (which are very knobbly btw).

I hope that these live up to your expectations and that you enjoyed them! I’m not a very big Regulus fan if that wasn’t obvious, but I do find him very very very fascinating. Thanks again for the ask!

So we all know the AU where Sirius and Remus raise Harry, but I have a new suggestion. What if, after Alice and Frank are tortured to the point of insanity and James and Lily are murdered, Sirius and Remus take both Harry and Neville in.

Imagine Harry and Neville being raised as brothers with a solid support network. Imagine both of them having childhoods free of neglect and abuse and expectations. Them being raised with stories of their parents and a household full of love and kindness. Them getting to stay up at night, hiding out under the blankets with a flashlight to giggle about nothing. Them stealing cookie dough and bits of food while Sirius and Remus cook, making a competition out of it. Them going off to Hogwarts together, being sorted together, and having sleepovers in the same fourposter.

Then imagine little Teddy Lupin being born, probably when they’re still relatively young, maybe seven or eight. Them getting so excited, getting in Sirius and Remus’ bed to poke Remus’ stomach and talk to their baby sibling (and sometimes poke Sirius’ stomach just because they can). Them taking it upon themselves to teach Teddy new words and then turning it into a challenge to see who can teach them more. Them rushing Sirius to get them home from Hogwarts quicker every break so they can say hi to their little sibling. Them regaling Teddy with tales of the castle (some of which are more made up than others just to fuck with them) together.

Imagine their family being Sirius, Remus, Neville, Harry, and Teddy, living together and being happy. They all get a happy ending. They get to be safe and surrounded by love. Just… imagine.

Y’know what, I need this. Not even a superstitious person, but, hell, I could really use it

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
