OK but what if you're a baby animagus when you first do it and you need to grow into an adult form
I'm doing it. I'm finally posting the Wolfstar fic that's been kicking around my head for the last year or so. The premise:
What if when Harry uses the Resurrection Stone, Remus Lupin comes back and stays? To find out what happened to Sirius Black, he must remember the past.
You can read Chasing Our Tails over at AO3. I'll be regularly updating with new chapters.
I’ve been busier than anticipated and haven’t been able to update at the same daily pace. I finally managed to get Chapters 9 & 10 up. We’re halfway there!

Chapters: 20/20 Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling Rating: Mature Warnings: Underage Relationship: Sirius Black/Remus Lupin
The morning after the battle, the spirit of a tall, tired-looking wizard lingers among the trees. He stares at his hands, which no longer appear translucent as they did the previous night. His fingertips look almost solid now. He continues turning over his palms, as if he can’t believe they belong to his body, which had lain cold on the floor of the castle.
How had he come to be in the forest?
He remembers being summoned. When he arrived, he saw he wasn’t alone. There had been a beautiful woman with reddish hair and a man with glasses. Standing before them, the boy was the spitting image of the latter, except his eyes were green like the woman’s. He was their son, the one who had summoned them.
Harry.
“Stay close to me,” Harry had said.
The man remembers now.
There was a third spirit: a handsome gentleman with long, dark hair. There is a warm sensation in his chest as he thinks about the handsome man. But why? It’s like his mind is struggling to catch up.
As the sun rises higher in the sky, he is almost certain that his body is real. It did not fade like mist, like the spirits of the couple had. But where did the long-haired man go, the handsome one?
He looks around but sees nobody. He’s not scared because he knows this forest. The crisp air and smell of pine are intoxicatingly familiar. The memories come in flashes: running and howling under moonlight. He used to wake up with dirt caked under his nails, he recalls. But also scratches and scars. He hadn’t liked that part.
Leaning against a tree trunk, he slides onto the ground. Maybe if he waits, more memories will return. In the meantime, he can rest. The summoning has taken a great deal of energy.
So he sits, listening to the sound of wind whispering through the leaves. He closes his eyes and allows himself to remember.

James is Dezi in my mind but i feel like he would talk and act like such a white person. like imagine him using phrases like “let me squeeze right by you” or “don’t mind if i do” or “looks like we got company”
Lily: They are so stupid.
Remus: *smiles* True. But if you had to. Who would you choose? James or Sirius.
Lily: Luckily I don't have to choose between pest and cholera.
Remus: Come on, Lils. Just for fun.
Lily: Who would you choose, then?
Remus: Sirius.
Lily:
Remus:
Lily:Remus: I mean, if I had to. Hypothetically spoken.
Lily: Uh-hu.

MARAUDERS, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. But since you did ask, let’s jump on that….
MARAUDERS: THE SERIES
Okay so - five seasons, BBC produced OR HBO in Game of Thrones style, keeping it British (JKR would insist, as she should). 12-14 episodes a season, potential Christmas special at the end of season 4. The first three seasons are MWPP’s fifth, sixth and seventh years, starting about midway through their 5th.
The pilot uses Harry as a framing device - it’s needed to establish the world and time period etc etc - maybe in third year, when Snape is digging in to Papa Potter? Harry then walks along the Hogwarts corridors, thinking about his father, and everything Dumbledore and Lupin have said about him, until he finds himself in the trophy room looking at one of James’ Quidditch medals. Harry says “my dad didn’t strut”, and we close in on the medal…
….only to pan out on James, strutting along the same corridor. Remus, Sirius and Peter fall in, and we watch them as they head in to class. James is your typical asshole of a 15yo, eating an apple and accidentally bumping into people, only to grin and give them fingerguns instead of apologising as he keeps on walking. Remus has his nose in a book, Sirius is poking at his ear with a quill, and Peter’s trying get Sugar Quill residue off his fingers. They walk into Transfiguration, their usual boisterous selves, not noticing a red headed girl rolling her eyes and turning away from them to talk to her friends, or a skulking boy in a group of Slytherins behind her, glaring at them.
AND SO WE BEGIN.
Each of the first four seasons would use one of the Marauders as a viewpoint into the main plot:
Season 1 - Peter, as he feels like he belongs less than the others, and his practical hero-worshipping of his friends means that he views them outside of his relationship with them, and is thus a good starting point for the viewer. Season one also introduces us to the Marauders era Slytherins, and we follow their story in a parallel to MWPP. Lily and Snape’s friendship, their subsequent fall out, and Snape’s further immersion into the Dark Arts are the season’s main subplot. Snape’s Worst Memory happens in about episode 9.
Season 2 - Remus. Season 2 covers MWPP’s sixth year, as they grow older and the war outside of Hogwarts begins to impact more on their isolated world. Lily and James begin to become friends - well, she dislikes him less - and this impacts on Snape, who begins to write in the margins of his potions textbook. Sirius starts to feel more pressure from his family and moves out; this makes him wilder than ever, culminating in the Snape prank (about episode 11). This is filmed to be a cruel trick, and we see the full blow out afterwards between Sirius and Remus. Snape approaches Lily in the aftermath and attempts to tell her about Remus, villifying James in the process; she tells him that she knows about Remus, and that Snape cannot reveal the secret. The season ends with Remus and Sirius still at odds, although partially reconciled, and James saying he just assumed that Sirius would be moving in with him.
Season 3 - This year focuses more on James, beginning when he and Sirius decide to crash a pureblood party at the Malfoy’s. They make their getaway, running past three girls, on Sirius’ new bike, which still has some…. kinks to be smoothed out - they almost fall out of the sky more than once. They return home to the news that James has been made Head Boy; Sirius thinks it’s the most hilarious news he’s ever heard, but James is determined to use the opportunity to get closer to Lily (“I am TELLING you she’s Head Girl, Padfoot!”) The gang head back to Hogwarts - crossing paths with Narcissa Black - who had seen them run out at the Malfoy’s - on the train station. She becomes our focus Slytherin character for the season. Lily and James’ romance takes a front position in this season, with the mending of the Sirius/Remus relationship as a subplot. The season also has flashbacks to the group’s younger years, focusing on the Animagus process.
Season 4: TIME JUMP. We go forward two years into the middle of the war. I see the final two seasons as one whole arc, with the season 4 establishing the various dangers of the war and MWPP’s role in it - focusing on Sirius, as suspicion starts to take hold of the group and their lives get more and more perilous. Through Sirius we get the Regulus subplot and our view into the Death Eaters, following Snape, the Blacks and the Malfoys. Two of Lily and James’ “thrice defied” events happen throughout the season. Remus is sent undercover into the werewolf community and drifts apart from the Order, causing the others to confide in him less and less. Peter sees this and, in the season finale, meets up with a Death Eater.
Season 5: We begin with the announcement of Lily’s pregnancy. The fighting gets worse - there are battles and disappearances every day, both sides begin to lose friends and mentors. Narcissa’s pregnancy is played out as a parallel to Lily; she and Lucius grow closer and begin to resent the influence of Voldemort on their lives. They strengthen as a family unit and at the end of the season decide to break away from their Death Eater friends (and family). The prophecy is told, Harry is born, Lily and James go into hiding. Sirius continues to fight in the war, becoming friends with the Prewett brothers and eventually witnessing their deaths, Snape becomes worried for Lily, makes the deal with Dumbledore, and begins sabotaging Death Eater missions he thinks may harm her, Karkaroff flees England, the Longbottoms announce that they’re expecting, Peter begins passing information on to Voldemort himself, Remus is thrown out of a werewolf meetup when they discover he’s a spy.
The season finale is two hours long. It begins with Harry’s first birthday - Bathilda Bagshot is present, and speaks of Grindlewald. The scene changes, and Sirius is sitting with Kingsley and a few other Order members - they’ve just heard the news of the McKinnons. Moody comes in with blood everywhere; he’s lost an eye. Sirius can’t stand to look at the blood and begins to walk out - then catches sight of Remus in the hall. He confronts Remus, asking where he’s been - Remus can’t say, under Dumbledore’s orders. They end up in a fist fight, beating each other senseless until they’re separated. They don’t speak again for fourteen years. It’s a cold day, and windy - Lily goes outide and pulls the clothes off the line before they can blow away. She and James decorate their cottage with jack o’ lanterns and streamers, and dress Harry up as a little Merlin in a purple gown. They eat Halloween dinner together, the three of them, and James jokes about how “it’s nothing on a Hogwarts feast - just you wait and see, Harry!” Lily goes to put Harry to bed - we watch as she changed him into his pyjamas, lays him in the crib and sings to him - until she’s cut off mid song by a blast downstairs. She’s at the door when she hears James scream, and then there’s a green flash of light, bright and cold, and she runs back to the crib, too choked with fear to even cry for her dead husband. A hooded man steps in the doorway, blocking out all the light. The screen is still black when we hear the revving of a motorcycle as it touches down on the ground. Sirius stands in front of the ruined house, and there are no words for the look on his face. He makes a sound - more animal than human - and before even knowing why, he starts forward, searching among the rubble. He hears a sound, and digs underneath the debris, forgetting his wand entirely, until he finds Harry, crying, the scar still bleeding. Sirius doesn’t know how long he stands there, holding the baby, until suddenly Hagrid is behind him, saying something about Dumbledore, and argues for a while but hands Harry over anyway, saying Hagrid can take the bike. It’s only then that Sirius thinks of Peter. Hagrid says something else, but Sirius doesn’t hear him, doesn’t hear anything - he Apparates, and he’s not even landed before he’s running, up and into Peter’s apartment, banging through the door and making things explode like he did when he was young and couldn’t control his magic. We follow Sirius through the confrontation with Peter and his arrest. Sirius is dragged away, laughing and crying manicallay, cut in a montage to parties and celebrations, random wizards and the Order, a thousand people cheering and smiling and all whispering “For him! The Boy who Lived! Harry Potter!” And, finally, a baby and a letter, lying side by side in front of a Surrey door.
Memories from the past.
“You’ll stay with me?” “ Until the very end.” “ They won’t be able to see you?” “We are part of you. Invisible to anyone else.”
How the Marauders became Animagus
Sometimes, I wonder how the Marauders could have done the complicated magic involved with becoming animagi. They were only kids, after all, and even though they were brilliant, finding out how to go through the procedure and acquiring the necessary ingredients and spells was no mean feat. It seems a little improbable that even the most intelligent teenagers could manage it, especially since it was dangerous, even for experienced witches and wizards. So how did they do it?
Minerva McGonagall.
She figured out what they meant to do right from the beginning, when Peter asked a few overly nonchalant questions during a class on animagus. Peter was a terrible actor- McGonagall’s teacher senses began to tingle. They were up to something. She proved it to herself definitively by eavesdropping on a late-night conversation in the common room, and her heart sunk.
They were doing it for Remus.
McGonagall had a soft spot for Remus. So intelligent, respectful, and kind. Mature beyond his years. She could feel her resolve wavering.
What they were doing was illegal, dangerous, completely foolish and arrogant on top of all that.
But it could help Remus. She could feel it.
So, what to do?
She spent a sleepless night debating with herself, remembering the difficulty of her own transformation, the dangers involved. At dawn, McGonagall had a burst of perfect clarity.
She could not allow her students to break the law. No matter what the cause.
“Potter. Black. Pettigrew. Lupin. Come into my office, please.”
The boys were nervous, and rightfully so. They didn’t know why she had called them. They assumed, of course, that it was over some prank or another, but she sensed that they were worried she had found out about their project. She took a deep breath and was starting into her lecture when she met Remus’s eyes. Behind the worry at being called into a teacher’s office, she could see the sadness, the exhaustion, the hopelessness haunting him. Minerva traced the numerous scars on his face and neck with her eyes, seeing, in her mind’s eye, Remus, transformed, maddened, tearing at his own skin. Could it be possible, she thought, that the boys could help him? She had seen the effect they had on him. They seemed to bring him back to life. Wouldn’t that effect be even greater if they could be near him when he transformed?
In that instant, she knew that she couldn’t stop them.
“Never mind, boys.”
But she would be darned if she would allow them to go through this alone. They weren’t going to have any problems with their transformations. She would make it as safe as possible for them.
Detailed ingredients lists found their way into the boys schoolbooks.
How-To books appeared in the library.
The rarer ingredients needed for this piece of magic seemed to appear in strange places in the boys’ luggage.
Whenever they held a meeting to perform one of the steps, McGonagall was there, invisible or disguised, ready to put out a fire, perform a countercurse, or simply come out of hiding and stop them if they were about to do something truly dangerous.
It never came to that. The boys, with the tools she had given them, were well on their way to success. It never occurred to James, Sirius, or Peter that anyone knew or that they were being secretly helped. They explained away all of it with breezy self-satisfaction.
“I found a list of ingredients in my bag! I must have paid better attention in Transfiguration than I thought I had! My handwriting is great, too, look at that. That cursive is almost as pretty as my face.”
“Hey! Hey guys! Look what I have in my bag, guys, look James! Bat whiskers! I must have picked some up in Diagon Alley without noticing!”
“Gentlemen, I was in the library studying-” “flirting with Lily” “Shut up, Sirius! I was studying when I found this book! It has all the instructions we need.”
McGonagall saw them through all the way to the end and sighed with relief. It was the most stressful thing she had ever done. She had broken the law, and for what? So that the boys could sneak out of the school and cavort on school property. They could be hurt. They could be arrested. She started to have serious doubts.
Then, one day, Remus Lupin lagged behind after class. She knew he would have transformed recently, but he looked better than he normally did. With a small, tremulous smile, he placed a box of chocolates on her desk.
“Thank you, Professor.” There were a thousand emotions in those three words. He knew. He had known all along. “Thank you.”
As he walked out of the classroom, a spring in his step, his shoulders no longer sagged under the stress of his condition, Minerva had no more regrets.
Being honest y'all, I love a lot of what we've done with the fandom now and of recent(not all of it, don't get me started), but I was there for the early marauders fandom in the mid 2010's and I miss it sometimes 😞😞😞
Guys please🙏 reg and his friends would NOT be friends with Sirius and his, even in modern/aus they would not clash. They are completely different kinds of people, PLUS Regulus especially would had a bit of a rivalry with Sirius and would NOT want to get involved/get his friends involved with sirius' group. They butt heads and compete SO much, friend group mixing would not be in question. Also, they are just REALLY different kinds of people, even not in canon, but ESPECIALLY in canon. Hate to break it to you guys who want this huge friendly friend group, at BEST reg and his friends would just try to freak out sirius', and at BEST sirius' friend group would just ignore them and make fun of them with Sirius. Have you EVER had a sibling who is completely different from you, cause this is how itd be.
