Remus: I want to show you a picture from last night that really upset me.
Tonks: Okay, but in my defense, Sirius bet me fifty galleons that I couldn’t drink all that shampoo.
Remus: That’s not what I wanted to—
Remus: You drank SHAMPOO?
I very much agree
Reblog if you agree
so does anyone else ever think about the level of post-war wizarding celebrity the Weasley-Potters would have had? like
this is an entire family of war heroes that also contains the chosen one, two heads of Ministry departments, the Minister for Magic herself, a professional Quidditch player and later editor at the Prophet, an extremely successful wizard entrepreneur, an international curse-breaker, an ex-Triwizard champion, and an eminent dragonologist and they definitely all hold an Order of Merlin of one class or another
you can’t tell me they weren’t featured in wizarding papers and magazines every damn week they try to avoid it but it’s no use
trying to go to Quidditch matches or anywhere really as a family is a tricky business because of the paparazzi
eating Chocolate Frogs is a weird experience for all their kids because their family are on so many cards like ‘oh look i got Uncle Charlie again’ ‘here’s Aunt Ginny, I’m still missing Mum though’
Bill keeps being given Witch Weekly’s most charming smile award he’s won it like 9 times even with all his scars. one time Ron won it instead and he teased Bill about it for ages
a good portion of the people who rock up to George’s shop come not just for joke items but also to shake his hand (and later Ron’s) and pay tribute to the portrait of Fred that hangs in there
there’s a Hermione interview in the Prophet at least twice a week. if anything vaguely significant happens ever in wizarding politics everyone wants a comment from Hermione, even if it has nothing to do with her
George loves making up wild rumours about his family members and ‘leaking’ them to the press, like when he told them Percy and Fleur were having a passionate affair (this one backfired a bit because it was shortly before Percy’s actual divorce. the public excitement and interest was nothing compared to what happened later when it got out that Percy was seeing Oliver Wood, and then there was another professional Quidditch player in the family and it just got worse)
Harry finds it weirdly comforting that the wizarding world is now obsessed not just with him, but his extended family too - they all get it now
all the kids get hounded towards the end of the year because everyone at Hogwarts want to be invited to the Burrow (very heavily warded and impenetrable to the press) for the summer to witness the annual Weasley-Potter family Quidditch match, which is legendary
if there’s no new gossip the magazines just put in stuff like ‘recipes from the Burrow! Molly Weasley’s favourite dishes! how to feed a family of heroes!’’ or ‘losing track? here’s the Ultimate Guide to the Weasley-Potter family!’
it’s ridiculous

Teddy’s sorting as seen by the Marauders
Tonks: He will be a Hufflepuff.
Sirius: Gryffindor.
Tonks: Hufflepuff
Sirius: No!
Tonks: Yes.
Remus: SHUT IT.
Tonks: It’s not my fault if your boyfriend doesn’t understand Teddy will be a Hufflepuff.
Sirius: No he will be–
Remus: *firmly* Padfoot.
Sirius: *obeys like a puppy*
Tonks: See? I–
Remus: You, too. They are at I. Teddy, will be on the stool soon.
James: *grinning* This place will be hell for all of you when Harry’s children get sorted.
Lily: He means it. You should have seen him at Harry’s sorting.
Teddy sits on the stool.
Sirius: *to himself* Come on, say he’s a Gryffindor.
Tonks: *whispering* Hufflepuff. Hufflepuff. Mum raised you right, now come on.
Remus: They are both nuts.
James: Well, you have a type Moony.
Hufflepuff!
Tonks: Teddy YES!
Sirius: Teddy NO!
Lily: *smiling* Did he just–
Remus: *laughing* His hair is purple.
James: *grinning* Look at Minnie, I think she is about to cry.
Sirius: I feel betrayed. James why are you so happy?
James: I mean, uh, I kinda knew he would be a Hufflepuff.
Sirius: *stares*
Lily: It was kind of obvious, Sirius.
Tonks: *stifles her laughter*
Remus: You know the drill Pads, he was raised by Andy after all. She raised Tonks, too. It’s just how it works.
Sirius: Still, a man can hope.
Tonks: I’m sure Weasley and Potter kids will make up for this.
James: Oh, they will. Don’t worry. The Potter clan will all be in Gryffindor, we got this.
Lily: James!
James: Don’t fight me on this woman.
Remus: *laughing* I still do think he has a bit of Gryffindor in him.
Sirius: *excitedly* That’s the spirit.
Remus: But that doesn’t change the fact that I’m proud to have a Hufflepuff son.
Lily: As you should.
James: Now what? We wait another 6 years for James to get sorted?
Tonks: I’m pretty sure Teddy will give us a good amount of mischief until he arrives.
Remus: Of course he will, he’s directly related to a Marauder after all.
Sirius: The most dangerous one to be exact.
Tonks: How?
James: Who do you think was the mastermind of all those pranks Dora?
Tonks: *gesturing to James and Sirius* You two!
Lily: Oh honey, it was Remus. I learned when it was too late, too.
Remus: *grinning* I mostly got away with it, too.
Tonks: We are in for some serious fun then.
Everyone stares at Tonks.
Tonks: *panicking* I mean we are in for some good fun.
Sirius: Yes, we are.
