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.

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.

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…"
