ballet academy au | blackinnon edition
marlene could at least commiserate with her best friend over the fact that now both of them were paired up with boys they didn’t particularly like.
except that everyone thought james potter would become the next male etoile, while sirius… well, she guessed it was a good thing that no one could deny the fact he was talented.
—surely this can’t be the first time you’ve been asked to do something with someone you hate.
—i don’t hate you. i barely know you.
—but you don’t like me.
—it’s not personal.
—of course it’s personal, mckinnon, otherwise you wouldn’t care so much.
—well, yeah, but that's my problem.
—funny, you have make it everybody’s problem with the way you’ve been running around asking to get rid of me.
—i can’t get rid of you, that’s the problem.
—so it is personal.
marlene sighed in frustration.
—yes, it is personal. it’s personal because if they get rid of you, then i’m cut out of the program too. so no, i don’t dislike you personally, just the idea of you.
—seems to me you would hate it more if i wasn’t here.
—you see my predicament then.
—not really.
sirius laugh it off.
—come on, let’s take it from the top.
marlene relented. she supposed it was progress sirius had agreed to practice after hours.

the way regulus knew about the dangers of this very clearly a suicidal mission through Kreacher and yet not only did he not back out, he didn't even have any back up plans?? Or some safety measures?? like?? I have no idea what his exact reasons were for betraying Voldemort, to avenge Kreacher or just because he hates the very existence of a hocrux or to protect his family bla bla bla, but either way, he was so offended, and still, no one was forcing him to do this, he went ahead and used the same elf Voldemort tried to kill, in a way, to steal the hocrux all with the intention to get it destroyed and ofc, got himself killed. He didn't need to do any of this but did it anyways?? like why bro.
he had one goal, steal and destroy the hocrux using kreacher. he did all this out of pure spite, 100% a Walburga trait btw, he's literally her son. gosh what an interesting man you are.
honestly i agree with everything.
all this fluff overload unlocked a scene i picture in my mind a while back. astra might get her fluffly one shot after all (though i’ll have to work hard not to turn into angst cause that’s my weakness 😬)
Sirius will literally have his hand in Marlene's back pocket at all times. They're standing casually talking to their friends and he slips his hand into the pocket of her jeans. He's standing so close to her that nobody notices he's doing it. It's simutaneously the most innocent and most erotic thing
also he doesn’t blame sirius, they just didn’t expect for severus to actually go there. that was the whole joke. i already talked about this but honestly, how dumb was snape in that moment???
james potter ran out to pull severus snape from the shrieking shack with one tought in mind: remus lupin.
because he didn’t believe remus should be held accountable for what might happen if he is too late to protect him but it’s fully aware that he will be.
omg unlocked memory turn hd canon now but marlene trying to play it down, selling really hard the fact that they’re “mates”, it’s cool and sirius thinking du fuck? but also, right, no big deal while simultaneously freaking out in the inside because what does it mean?? cut to the moment they start going out and marlene having the audacity to be surprise they ended up together meanwhile sirius was tryin to be so smooth about the whole situation as not to spook her. marlene was three month in when she realized the whole castle knew they were a thing and somehow she was the last to notice. (ofc everyone knew, they were always touching each other tenderly/or aggressively depending on the mood).
Sirius and Marlene's first time having sex would make them stay in bed for a full 30 minutes, out of breath, glaring at the ceiling, bc neither of them could process that it actually happened.
this suits them so well (i’m definitely thinking band au here 😂)
marlene mckinnon and sirius black adrenaline junkies.
i fried my brain so hard that i almost called my dog sirius. got as far as sir-
Draco would thrive in theater… 😓
dress and undress (in no particular order) 📖✨

If I could draw Priest Draco all day, I would. So I practiced poses and messily colored him. 🙂↕️
casual reminder that sirius black’s last words to his godson were “harry, take the prophecy, grab neville and run!”.
it’s not mistaking harry for james, as the movies showed. and the last words he ever uttered were a taunt, daring bellatrix to do better.
in the heat of the battle, sirius ensured harry and neville were well out of the line of fire before jumping into the fray himself—he died knowing he’s kept harry safe until the very end as best as he could.
James didn't mature for Lily It's too overused and melodramatic the way everyone says he grew up for her. War was raging outside of Hogwarts by the time he was at least 14-15 and became more prominent when he was 16-17. His parents dying was when he was around 17-18-19, and they might've gotten drastically sick and admitted to St. Mungos when James was still in Hogwarts. There was also a war going on, traitors and death eaters everywhere, along with choosing to support Remus financially and Sirius running away. I hate when people go 'he-matured-for-a-girl-who-barley-tolerated-him'. I also hate when people, anyone, says James constantly harassed her, stalked her and asked her out. That. Is. Not. Canon. Dating Lily probably wasn't even one of James' thoughts, so there's no way he would change most of his public personality just for her.
