what they saw in the mirror of erised
Just little post-Hogwarts Christmas things
- Sirius cutting out a picture of himself and putting it on top of the tree in his and James’ apartment bc “I’m a star, Jaime”
- Literally everyone spikes the punch at some point, probably
- “Why are you topping the tree, Sirius?” “That’s not the only thing I top ;)” “I did not need to know that, Black”
- James and Sirius filling the apartment with enchanted mistletoe and inviting Lily and Remus over
- “God Rest Ye Merry Hippogriffs” on constant repeat
- James and Sirius getting trapped under the mistletoe together and Lily and Remus arriving to their respective boyfriends kissing underneath it
- Sirius snogging Remus in the corner once he convinces him to forgive him for kissing James
- Peter arriving dressed as Santa Claus
Someone may have told him it was a costume party- Absolutely ridiculous Secret Santa gifts being exchanged
- Sirius giving Remus a gift even though he was Lily’s SS because he’s a sap and wanted to give his boyfriend something
- The sound of laughter and loud conversation
- James, Sirius, Remus, Peter, and Lily, alive and young and happy and excited to see what the new year might bring

Merry Marauder Christmas (1/1)
Summary: The last night before Christmas break in their seventh year at Hogwarts.
“All right, open it, open it,” Lily said. She smiled and wrapped her arms around James’s arm and leaned into his side.
Remus smiled down at the small wrapped package in his lap and his nimble fingers began to work at the paper. He pulled out a brown box and Sirius couldn’t let the opportunity slide.
“Oh, she got you a box. Nice job, Lil, wish I thought of that,” Sirius said.
Lily rolled her eyes and kicked out her leg to nudge Sirius with her foot.
Remus lifted the lid off the box and the others in the room saw his face light up at what he saw inside. Lily bit her lip in excitement as she saw her friend’s reaction to his gift.
“Lily,” Remus said. He couldn’t find any other words.
“What is it?” Peter asked. He craned his short neck up to try and catch a glimpse of the inside contents.
Remus pulled out the book for the rest of the group to see. The three other boys seemed to deflate at the sight of a book. That was nothing exciting to any of them.
“It’s the one I wanted,” Remus said. He looked down at the book again and turned it over in his hands. “Frankenstein.”
The three boys perked up at the name of the infamous horror character.
“Frankenstein is a book?” James asked.
Okay but Jily Beauty and the Beast AU???
Lily is Belle (obviously), James is the Beast (again obviously), Sirius is Lumiere, Remus is Cogsworth, Alice is Mrs. Potts, little Neville is Chip, and make Gaston the social outcast and he’s Snape.
I’m tempted to write this.
moony, wormtail, padfoot, and prongs purveyors of aids to magical mischief makers are proud to present: the marauder’s map
to make james shut up about lily, the rest of the marauders ended up building a treehouse with a sign outside saying ‘no lily evans talk allowed’ until james agreed to knock it off
at least, that was the theory. in retrospect, they probably shouldn’t have built said treehouse in the whomping willow.
james had his family from the very beginning. they were
(brothers, in heart and mind)

ya lit aesthetics: The Marauders
The Marauders were tears and laughter. they were yells during quidditch and group hugs after. they were ongoing inside jokes and constant bickering. they were relentless fights ‘til the end and patching up wounds. they were keeping secrets and being honest. they were quiet nights in the common room and loud strides down the hallways. they were a kingdom, a constellation so different and complicated. they were different and yet the same. eight hearts beating as one. they were orphans of war. they were a family. a family made of love and friendship. a family that no one but death could break apart.

marauders christmas hcs
- james is the kind of person who gets excited about next christmas on the 27th of december every year
- “james it’s january” “any month can be pre-christmas if you try hard enough”
- he makes and spells his own wrapping paper and does a customized one for all his friends. it’s his biggest talent in his Honest Opinion
- sirius is always wary about christmas bc his parents would have a fancy party where he’d be forced to socialize with people he hated and all his gifts would be very expensive but nothing he’d ever like
- the winter of first year, he decides to stay at school over the holidays bc his parents are still mad about his sorting. he’s resigned himself to being alone so when james starts unpacking despite having talked about getting to go home for weeks he’s very confused (but also very happy)
- after that he always goes to james’ for christmas. he tears up a little bit when mrs potter hangs a fourth stocking up the first time he stays there
- the holidays just stress remus out tbh
- he feels guilty about not having the money to buy extravagant presents so he makes up for it by trying to come up with the most well-thought-out ones ever
- the first time the marauders spend the holidays at the lupins’ comes as a giant shock when they wake up to the smell of sugar cookies and come downstairs to see remus in an apron mixing up yet another bowl of batter, surrounded by three entire trays of perfectly decorated cookies
- he and peter teach james and sirius muggle carols and it proves to be the biggest mistakes of their lives
- sirius and james, in unison: DECK THE HALLLS WITH BOUGHS OF HOLLYYYY
- the entirety of hogwarts, covering their ears: stop
- peter has like an entire collection of ugly sweaters
- he charms them to light up and sing carols when people walk by he’s very proud of them
- and also very disappointed when someone inevitably breaks into the dorm and burns all of them for the rest of the school’s ears’ sake
- he believed in santa claus until second year and he always denies it but james has photographic proof
- even once they graduate they always regroup for christmas
- james was already planning the Big Festive Party of 1981
- but instead of spending the holiday season surrounded by people who love him, dressed in the little sweater lily had already started to knit for him, he spends it in the cold, alone, while the dursleys laugh distantly in another room
- he is one and a half, and yet old enough to know that he will never feel warm again
