just thinking about how percy's plans look like he's actively trying to get himself killed because he doesn't take the time to explain his plans to anyone else because they are time-sensitive. and how annabeth never needs him to explain anything because she can recognize battle strategy from a mile away. and how she knows that percy only diverges from a collective plan when he sees a flaw in it and is about to do something that'll confuse the opponent long enough for them to gain the upper hand. and how annabeth will only take over when she sees a flaw in his plan and guide them back on track. and how percy gives her the space to play on her strengths instead of fighting her over it because he trusts her judgment. and how all of this basically happens wordlessly because they understand each other.

"OK, so James likes Lily and Regulus, Marlene likes Dorcas..." Remus made a pause, trying to collect his thoughts as Sirius continued to pout and James smiled awkwardly, avoiding Sirius' glare.

"And now you," Remus pointed at Peter, who continued to drink his tea.

"Like Barty and Evan, two people who are already in a relationship."

"I really don't understand why you guys are so focused on this, it's not like anything is gonna happen, look at James." Peter butted in.

"He is still single even after pining for Lily for years."

"Hey!"

where's sleep schedule

i'll do you one better: who's sleep schedule

i'll do you one better: why is sleep schedule

jegulily are nerds. huge, giant, nerds. but in very different ways.

lily is a nerd in the sense she spends most of her time in the library, planning her career and studying for classes, obsessing over fictional books, playing chess, reading lord of the rings a million times, practices potion making for fun and likes to make the same potion over and over, gets excited over quidditch stats and making types of plays but finds watching the actual game boring

regulus is a nerd in the sense he obsesses over classical music and relentlessly learns compositions, secretly loves classic romance books and uses them to work out how to socialise, spends all his time studying or on independent projects usually related to something in one of his classes, was ojce given a cigarette and his first thought was to dissect it open

james is a nerd in the sense he obsessively watched star wars over and over and then brought every piece of merch he could find, always gets top marks in everything, willingly reads extremely high level transfiguration books for fun all the time, spends all day working out quidditch stats, and had a map making phase as a kid (which he still has)

Lily Evans had never had a large party on her birthday before. She had always had just a couple friends over at her house, or once she started hogwarts, in her dorm. The first few years at school were short little celebrations with her different friends, since they couldn't get along together. But this year was just one party, a big one, organised by Mary and James, well known for their ability to plan a great party with large crowds and manage to keep those crowds happy.

She donned her best outfit, got Emmeline to do her makeup, Marlene to do her nails, and Mary with the hardest job of blocking Remus Lupin from the record player in the common room.

And as people began to gather, Lily went downstairs to join them. Sirius and Peter had snuck to Hogsmeade to get some booze, under the conditions they made sure it was only people over 16 drinking it. Now they stood like guards, arms folding with sunglasses over their eyes and makeshift badges as they teared down at a poor ravenclaw from 4th year that tried to grab a bottle.

Lily made her way over grabbing a drink before moving to the record player in the corner.

Mary was stood, glaring up at Remus, "You aren't fucking touching this! I will stand here the entire night if I have to. We refuse to lieten to a single Zeppelin song!"

"Remus!" Lily shouted, "Get away from the music! We made a deal, my choice on my birthday!"

Remus groaned, "Mary's just been playing constant abba though!"

Lily grinned, "My birthday, my choice."

Remus glared at her before starting to smirk and he quickly grabbed her drink before speeding away.

"You fucker!" She yelled after him.

"Happy birthday, Lils!"

Mary grabbed her into a tight hug, "What that twat said."

She hugged her back, "Ugh I love you, thank you for this."

"Why are you sweet? Hey, you should go get another drink before it's all gone. I'll protect the music for you."

Lily hugged her again before going back to the drink table to find it bare.

"We're gonna go get some more but James has disappeared and he's got the cloak and map." Peter said, seemingly appearing behind her out of nowhere.

"He's a terrible boyfriend", Sirius sighed, shaking their head.

Lily rolled her eyes, as Marlene bounded over.

"He's just gone to grab the slytherins, prat."

Sirius clasped their hand to their heart, "blondes are so mean... oh sorry, I mean gingers."

Lily's eyes widened and she stared at Marlene in shock, "What? Marlene, what?"

Marlene stuck a finger up at Sirius before disappearing into the crowd.

"Marlene! You're ginger too?!"

"What's all the yelling about?" James said, map and cloak in one hand just before Peter grabbed them both and ran off with Sirius.

"Marlene's ginger!"

James froze, "you're not meant to know that. She got us all to promise to never tell you. Who told you? It was Sirius wasn't it? They're terrible at keeping secrets."

"Why would she dye her hair? What's wrong with being ginger!"

James shrugged, "I dont know! She's done it since she was like 9!"

Dorcas leaned over, "Her mum got her to do it as a kid and then she said she keeps doing it because 'ginger is much less rock n roll'... also hi lily, happy birthday."

"Fucker." Lily said.

"Woah Lily, Cas was just wishing you a happy birthday, no need for swearing." Regulus slightly smiled.

Lily squinted at him in annoyance before reaching to hug him.

Pandora nudged Regulus, "He got you a gift, but he's so shy he asked me to give it to you instead."

"That's not what I said! I'm not shy!" Regulus said, nudging her back as she gave the wrapped present to Lily.

James bounded over her shoulder excitedly.

Inside was a vinyl of the single song, dancing queen.

Regulus put his hands in his pockets, "I thought it'd be a good fit for this party, and I am willing to dance."

Lily grinned, immediately running over to Mary to put it on.

The intro spinned into the air and James pulled Lily up onto a desk. They danced and danced. Others clambering up on the desks after them. Dorcas and Marlene dancing while making out, Pandora with Emmeline and Sybil, Mary leaving her station to join in the dance, Peter and Sirius back from their mission and immediately jumping up on the desks, and Regulus following through his promise to join Lily and James in the dance.

And Remus, with a clear shot of the record player with no one guarding it, didn't move from where he stood, and let abba sing out, just for Lily.

You are the dancing queen

Young and sweet

Only seventeen

Dancing queen

Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah

You can dance

You can jive

Having the time of your life

Ooh, see that girl

Watch that scene

Digging the dancing queen

you can’t leave me hanging whats the rest of the spanish james headcanon because its just so perfect in my head he just is spanish

-🦝

Ahaha my raccoon friend is back!

(Accidental Thor energy there. Anyway.)

Okay so I have this headcanon that most witches and wizards are mixed races and/or ethnicities because if you think about it their communities are a lot smaller so they’re more likely to travel around and befriend witches and wizards in other countries, right? Not to mention that they can travel far quicker and easier than muggles can.

See this would solve the whole inbreeding problem because why marry your cousin when you could just as easily marry some hot dude from Australia?

(So it’s actually perfectly logical to have loads of Black and Asian people at Hogwarts, jkr is just racist, but we knew that already)

My headcanon is that Euphemia is Desi of some kind (I can never decide the specifics but she’s definitely South Asian) and English and Fleamont is Moroccan and Spanish. James grew up travelling between all four countries but (for some reason yet to be determined) they decided he would attend Hogwarts in the UK (maybe Euphemia went there and loved it or something? Idk).

I’ve always liked the headcanon that most witches and wizards know a few different languages and it definitely works with this headcanon so. James is fully fluent in English, Spanish Castellano, Arabic, and Hindi, as well as partially fluent in Spanish Catalan, Bengali, and maybe even Tamil and French? This might sound like a crazy amount of languages but I really think it’s just part of wizarding culture to know a lot of languages, you know?

Anyway now imagine James serenading Regulus and/or Lily in Spanish (this whole Spanish James headcanon came to me because I was listening to a Spanish song and it just made sense).

And if you think he wouldn’t wear a flamenco dress and do flamenco dancing on the tables in the Great Hall then you are wrong because he absolutely would (Sirius does it with him while Peter and Marelene start the rhythmic clapping and get everyone else to join in)

Uhhhh I can’t think of anything else rn but if I do I’ll add it on later (and anyone who sees this feel free to add on your own hcs as well)

valentine's day headcanons

they walk, together, around hogsmeade and the grounds, and they visit hagrid to meet all the new weird animals he's gotten

they also have a picnic with food they made themselves

they give each other little kisses all the time

nobleflower

narcissa pretends to hate valentine's too, but she can't help herself when alice is her valentine

Jeph Jacques decided to go out in a blaze of shitposts and in his honor I think it's only right to share these tweets with a wider audience

goodnight, sweet prince

Sirius and Remus had two cats, a small mostly white kitten named Poppy and a grey tabby named Minnie. Sirius was the one to bring them home one day and to Remus’ surprise they were the first cats that ever let him pet them, they actually seemed happy to be around him, and Remus soon realized that while he thought he was a dog person, seeing that he was in love with a man who could turn into one, but soon realized that he was a cat person when he sat down to read with a cup of tea and Minnie laid right next to him and purred as he pet her.

Sirius loves calling them different nicknames, like instead of Poppy he calls her ‘Madam’ and buys her little bows and even went as far to dress her up as a nurse for halloween one year (Minnie was obviously forced into a witches hat). He calls Minnie ‘Professor’ whenever he sees her with Remus as he is reading and Remus secretly thinks it’s adorable.

Sirius insists on constantly taking pictures of the cats and Remus, as he thinks Remus with a cat on his lap is one of the cutest sights in the world, and one year made them have a photo shoot to make kitten Christmas cards. He sent one to McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey and both of them have it hanging in their offices at Hogwarts.

Neither of the cats like Peter, but Harry and Lily love them, so much so that one of Harry’s first words was ‘kitty’.

James thinks it hilarious that Sirius named them after McGonagall and Pomfrey. When he found out he laughed for at least an hour about it.

They can’t have kids, and while helping raise Harry is amazing, getting to come home to two cute cats that they get to call their own makes them feel like a big happy family.

What do u think james would have been like as a father

Oh boy, here we go.

Anon, this might be my favourite ask ever. Ever, do you hear me? So take a seat because this is going to be a long one.

It goes without saying that he would have been incredible, yes, but in what way?

(Under the cut because it got too long)

I don't think Harry was planned, purely because of the war. If it hadn't been for that, I think he would have still wanted to be a dad, without a doubt, and a young one at that: being raised by elderly parents probably made him realise that he was luckier than his parents, because they never got to see him grow up, grow old. Little did he know...

James adored being a young dad. He loved the fun bits and the ugly bits. Harry helped him become the man he was destined to be. In the 15 months they shared together (don't worry I'll answer your question in a moment), James was forced to learn some hard truths and make tough decisions. I've always seen him as someone who had a 'black and white' mindset when it comes to right or wrong: it was simple for him, and he couldn't really understand why people did bad things when they knew they were wrong. Well, he knew why, but it only started making sense when he became a father, because suddenly he realised how much he had underestimated the privilege of being able to choose. Having a kid during a war took a toll on him and changed him, because now he was forced to decide whether he was a father first or a soldier. And it was a choice he had to make every day.

He also had to choose what kind of father he was going to be. The kind who comes back from a mission and drinks himself into oblivion, or the one who goes straight to his wife and son and despite being bone-tired and with muscles that ache at every step, he's there for them with a smile on his face. And don't get me wrong, I do believe he did get drunk and felt utterly defeated sometimes. He could have done that and he knew no one would have judged him for it, but he couldn't let the bad days outnumber the good ones.

Let's pretend nothing bad happened on Halloween 1981, and that Voldemort died and everyone got their happy ending:

James is the kind of dad who has long conversations with his babbling two year old, where he pretends to talk about politics and books and Quidditch without using baby voices.

He does use baby voices sometimes, though. Mainly when Harry won't eat his peas or when James has to change his nappy (honestly I hope wizards use them, otherwise the poor babies just have to sit in their poop until someone vanishes it). He does impressions of all his Hogwarts professors, but Harry's favourite is Filch, he laughs so much he makes James laugh too.

He sings 'Beautiful Boy' when Harry can't fall asleep, a smile painted on his face, and when Harry's brows start to relax he whispers the rest of the lyrics, brushing his hair until his eyes close and his breath becomes even (credits to this post for the headcanon).

He's an extremely concerned toddler parent, because Harry learns to run first and walk second. The little boy hates hats, and he always comes back from his walks with his hair all tangled and with leaves in it (yes, Harry dives into leaf piles before his parents can stop him). James, heartbroken, takes a bottle of Sleekeazy's and pours the product on Harry's hair, apologising the whole time.

He watches him play and talk to his toys for Merlin knows how long, hypnotised by his brilliant son.

When Harry accidentally makes Sirius' pancake float towards his plate, James picks up his son and starts dancing with him around the kitchen, singing a made up song that Sirius will mock him for every time he has the chance. By noon, James has not only decided he's going to throw a party in honour of Harry's first accidental magic, he's also decided the menu and planned every activity. He invites Fabian and Gideon and asks to bring their nephews too because the more the merrier, and that's how Ron becomes Harry's best friend.

I also thinks James would absolutely love to have a big family, so in my headcanon Harry has at least a couple of siblings. Imagine being surrounded by all those Potters... A dream for some (James) a nightmare for others (probably Petunia, who is straight up horrified the one time she pays them a visit).

James teaches Harry to fly, reads him stories every night and they even have movie nights every Wednesday, even the day after a full moon, where James falls asleep on the sofa as they watch Star Wars, and Harry goes out like a light shortly after him, head on his chest, drooling on James' shirt.

But most of all, James listens. He truly listens. He makes sure Harry never doubts his worth. He's the kind of dad who isn't afraid to show his emotions, and probably cries as Harry boards the Hogwarts Express for the first time.

When Harry gets in trouble at school for the first time, James realises that lecturing him is not that different from when he had to give out detentions as Head Boy... Except that it is, because when James has to tell him that it's wrong to put Padfoot's hairs in Malfoy's potion, Harry asks him why, and he tilts his head exactly like Lily does when she challenges him, and this kid has her eyes and James' knowing smile, but he's also clever in a way James and Lily are not, and James doesn't know what to do with this information.

Honestly, I have so many more headcanons and if I had to write all of them this post would never see the light of day, so I'll stop here and maybe I'll make a part two, who knows.

In conclusion, this James isn't a perfect dad, but he's a wonderful one. He might be too strict sometimes, and other times too lenient; he might disagree with Harry on some things, and they might fight and raise their voices. But James does everything in his power not to make Harry go to sleep angry or sad, and if it does happen, he makes sure to wake him up with a kiss on his forehead and a hug. Or maybe lots of hugs, because James is a very affectionate dad. With his parents in his life, Harry doesn't doubt for one moment that he's not worthy of being loved.

everyone’s always like ‘sirius would be so mad if he found out that regulus and james were dating’ NO HE WOULDNT HE WOULD BE NUMBER ONE WINGMAN TWO OF THE MOST LOVED PEOPLE IN HIS LIF???? TOGETHER???? BITCH HE WOULD BE THE ONE THAT GOT THEM TOGETHER
