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.

OCTOBER 31 – NOVEMBER 2, 1981

“Harry… I as good as killed them,” Sirius croaked. “I persuaded Lily and James to change to Peter at the last moment, persuaded them to use him as Secret-Keeper instead of me…. I’m to blame, I know it…. The night they died, I’d arranged to check on Peter, make sure he was still safe, but when I arrived at his hiding place, he’d gone. Yet there was no sign of a struggle. It didn’t feel right. I was scared. I set out for your parents’ house straight away. And when I saw their house, destroyed, and their bodies… I realized what Peter must’ve done… what I’d done…"

Snape pointed at the parchment, on which the words of Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs were still shining. An odd, closed expression appeared on Lupin’s face… 

“Do you know them?” said Harry, impressed. 

“We’ve met,” [Lupin] said shortly. He was looking at Harry more seriously than ever before.

“Imagine that Voldemort’s powerful now. You don’t know who his supporters are, you don’t know who’s working for him and who isn’t; you know he can control people so that they do terrible things without being able to stop themselves. You’re scared for yourself, and your family, and your friends. Every week, news comes of more deaths, more disappearances, more torturing…The Ministry of Magic’s in disarray, they don’t know what to do, they’re trying to keep everything hidden from the Muggles, but meanwhile, Muggles are dying too. Terror everywhere…panic…confusion…that’s how it used to be.” – Sirius Black, Goblet of Fire
