dagger // @maraudersgirlsprompts // word count: 497

Bellatrix was given a dagger when she turned 11. It had some sort of special meaning. A ritual or something that Bella didn’t pay any mind to at the time.

It felt right in her hand, like it always belonged. The handle was engraved with stars, her star the biggest and boldest. She adored the dagger more than she cared to admit.

When Bellatrix was 13, Andromeda turned 11. Bella presented her sister with a dagger. The Andromeda Galaxy engraved on its handle. Bella isn’t quite sure whether Andy really liked the gift but her sister tucked it into her sleeve and smiled in thank you.

Narcissa turned 11 when Bellatrix was 14. Bella was a little nervous when presenting her gift to her youngest sister. Though when Narcissa accepted the dagger she was given, Bella need not have worried. Narcissus flowers were engraved in the handle and Narcissa swore, “now you will always be at my side.”

“Always,” Bella promised, a small smile on her lips that she usually felt the need to hide.

At 19, Bellatrix had a lot more responsibilities and duties then she did at 11. However she would never miss her cousin's birthday. Sirius turned 11 and Bellatrix was right there in the room. Despite the slightly jealousy she feels for Sirius, she presents him with a dagger. The Dog Star engraved on the handle with his star being the biggest and boldest.

Sirius grinned infamously and flipped the dagger around in his hands, testing it as he has always done. Once satisfied, he nods, running off to chase Regulus around the manor.

When Bella was 20, Evan was 11. It’s never been a secret that Evan is his favourite little cousin. He looks up to her with awe that is inspiring. Bellatrix takes Evan away from the celebrations and pulls out a dagger, the handle engraved with roses and thorns. There is a twinkle in Evan’s eyes when he sees it, an appreciation that makes Bella proud. Evan is the first to hug her in many years.

Regulus turns 11 a few months after Evan, and a month before she turns 21. She cannot help but have a soft spot for him, she certainly likes him more than Sirius, despite the fact that in comparison, she thinks Regulus has no spine. Not that it matters.

Regulus’ dagger is engraved with the lion stars, his star the biggest and boldest in the chest. Like Evan, Regulus treasured the gift, wielding it with a poise she was surprised to see. Mischief flickers over his face as he glances sideways at Sirius. Bellatrix laughs quietly and midges him, “go on,” she encourages and that’s all Regulus needs. Her youngest cousin takes off with his dagger ready to strike, running after Sirius who begins screaming and laughing all throughout the house.

Narcissa comes up to her side, her shoulder lightly bumping with her own, “you’re a wonderful cousin, Bella.”

Bella cannot help but smile softly.

HAPPY LESBIAN VISIBILITY DAY!!!

I've been thinking about this alot recently so here's how I think the aftermath of 'The Prank' went.

Remus didn't speak to anyone for a few weeks and didn't leave his bed.

The first person he spoke to was lily. She knew he was a werewolf but hadn't told him she knew and he worked out she knew but they didn't talk about it.

For months afterwards he wouldn't let the boys join him on full Moons.

He never spoke back about Snape again until he called lily a mudblood.

He was the first to forgive Sirius, though it was months after.

Peter didn't talk to sirius at all and always checked on Remus.

He brought Remus chocolate and treats all the time.

He made sure to take notes for Remus in classes he missed and help him with the homework.

James had multiple arguments with Sirius.

He was the last to forgive him.

He would blow up if sirius said a single word in the dorm.

He did whatever Remus asked him to.

There's was a whole argument on the train on the way back to hogwarts after the summer where sirius tried to come sit in the compartment (while no one was talking to him) and James throw him out and gave him a black eye.

The biggest, and one of the only two, arguments James and Sirius ever had.

Sirius tried for the first few weeks to apologise but Mary told him to leave them and they'd come around.

He would leave chocolate and books on remus' trunk for him but they just kept piling up because Remus ignored them.

He spent most of his time alone in the astronomy tower, avoiding the dorm, and often bumped into Regulus there.

He felt awful obviously and never fully forgave himself even when Remus did.

After Remus forgave him he spent months trying to make it upto him.

Every year on the anniversary, though he was the only one who remembered the date, he'd spoil Remus with gifts and love.

Remus is six foot seven

James is six foot four

Sirius is five foot nine

Peter is five foot six

Lily is five foot seven

Marlene is six foot

Mary is five foot five

Dorcas is five foot seven

Alice is five foot two

Frank is five foot eight

Regulus is six foot two

I miss them so much

I really need to watch this already

*watching saltburn for their weekly movie night*

James: AH MY EYES

Sirius: What The Actual Fuck

Remus: woah... didn't expect it to go that far

Regulus: that's hot *sips drink*

War crimes be damned, Barty deserved to see all the Trolls movies in theatre just so he could point and go "Reggie" every time he saw a Bergen and then die of a laughing fit every time

Pronouns are words used to refer to yourself and others. I, We, You, Your, He, She, They, You're, Theirs, His, It, Herself etc are ALL pronouns, it's very hard to speak English without using them. Singular They/Them has been used for centuries. The word "You" used to only be used for groups, see how language evolves.

Cis and Trans are Adjectives which are describing words. Cis is not a slur or a pronoun. Cis is a Latin prefix that means "On the same side of" whereas Trans means "On the other side of."

Puberty Blockers were first created in the 80s to stop children from starting puberty too early. Children can get their period as early as 7 years old and a child shouldn't have to go through that. The effects are completely reversible, all the child has to do is stop taking them whenever they're ready and they'll start their puberty again. You only have a problem with puberty blockers when Trans kids use them.

No doctor is performing gender affirming surgeries on under age children (except for intersex children and babies), there's so much that you have to do before even being approved for top or bottom surgery (or any kind of gender affirming surgery), it's also very expensive, none of this would ever be performed on a child.

Drag Queens reading stories to children or dancing for them isn't any different than hiring a professional to dress up for your child's birthday party or going to Disney World where everyone is dressed up and playing characters. There is absolutely nothing inappropriate about Drag Queen story time. Drag Queens wear far more clothing than literally any of us. If you're fine with taking your child to Hooters or to a sports game with cheerleaders but you have a problem with Drag Queens... You sexualize Queer people and say it's inappropriate for us to be around children yet you have no problem with over-sexualizing women if it's for your entertainment and you have no problem with your child seeing it.

About to start Choices. Pray for me.

Tragic queers

Two words to describe the marauders fandom? Hot mess
