Okay, so, re: the Marauder’s Map and the fact that legendary pranksters managed to lose it to the cranky old caretaker.

I haven’t seen anyone else mention this yet, but I always felt like the Marauders let Filch confiscate it.  Like, it was toward the end of seventh year, they weren’t going to have much use for a map of Hogwarts soon, and they were all eighteen, basically still kids, so they weren’t exactly thinking, “I’m gonna save it and give it to my kid when he/she goes to Hogwarts!”

They don’t want their hard work to go to waste, though, so they decide they’ll pass it on to the next great prankster.  But when they look around, they find no one that seems quite right for the job yet.  Filch has been insisting for ages that there’s something up with that piece of paper and has never managed to successfully confiscate it since they created it.

But this one last time they let him.  They put on a good show, trying to convince him to “Give it back, please!”  But he refuses, locking it away.  Meanwhile the Marauders walk off with a smile, remembering all the times they’ve snooped through Filch’s office while serving detention.

Someone else will surely do the same, and when they do, they’ll find an otherwise ordinary piece of parchment and wonder why on earth it’s been classified as “highly dangerous.”  And when that happens, their legacy will continue.

Marauders and Monopoly (two things that should never mix)

siriusly-mooned-off:

James: Is always the banker no matter what, and as the game progresses and starts to go downhill (as it inevitably does, c’mon guys…. monopoly) he’s that banker that starts making dirty deals and pilfering from the bank until he’s eventually jailed for theft for five goes by the others.

Sirius: buys every house he lands on until he’s broke and they all turn out to be shitty houses and he gets mad as everyone starts beating him and having to pay for rent via shitty house and eventually kicks the board over in a fit of petulant rage.

Remus: Strategic asshole player that always ends up with the good houses, has the most sets and hotels on everything. He’s usually the one making underhanded deals as well, and somehow tricks people into giving up shit in exchange for shittier shit. Wins. Every. Time. And yet, they still play with him….

Peter: Is a massive tightass and doesnt buy any places. Leaves as soon as Sirius starts threatening to castrate anyone who’s place he lands on. Cries in the background as things turn violent.

jilylicious:

Remus Lupin is a master of reading people, not just their faces, no. 

Remus Lupin knows pain, he recognises it even though all the other people try to hide and some of them, they do. 

Remus Lupin knows who needs to laugh the most and he knows their fears.

So when he calls Neville to be the first to do the Boggarts training, he knows just what he needs. 

Remus Lupin knows this boy, above most of the children in that class, needs a good laugh. 

Remus Lupin recognises pain and he tries to heal people.

Remus Lupin knows what pain looks like because he lived through almost every possible pain he knows.

Remus Lupin knows he won’t heal, these are not broken bones and gashed skin.

So Remus Lupin tries to heal, one laughter at a time; reminiscing the times they made everyone laugh with his friends.

A tribute to all that’s lost and all that’s left, Remus Lupin still has the mischief in his blood. 

Sirius: Did you find anything interesting when you were spying in the Slytherin common room?
James: They have this book, this burn book, where they write mean things about everyone in Hogwarts.
Sirius: What did it say about me?
James: You… you weren’t in it.
Sirius: Those bitches!

Minerva McGonagall: What are the exam answers doing out of my desk?
Sirius Black: Oh, I took it out.
McGonagall: My desk was locked.
Sirius: Which made it very difficult to open. You might want to make a note of that.
