james ‘the sun’ potter 🫠
i cant believe its so underrated, im in love with this art style!!!🙏🏼 please support the artist
Touch the sun ☀
i think the reason that remus is perceived as more studious than the other boys is because james and sirius are more naturally proficient in wizarding skills while remus has to work for it.
most of the time his peers would see him studying in the library and in his room, reading, writing, and doing homework and assume that that’s what he enjoyed doing, not necessarily what it took to get the grades he does.
sirius: *starts jumping* yayyy!!!!
james: *joins in* woohooo!!!!
sirius: prongs, do you even know why we’re jumping
james: nope! i just like jumping!
sirius: *stops, stares at him, and walks away*
don’t be fooled that remus is not doing the pranks with everyone else. i know man is a prank mastermind. he’s got the psychological warfare in his brain.
Marauders Heights
Remus - 6’4
Was always the tallest
There were several points during their school years where the Marauders thought he would stop growing but he just… didn’t
One time Sirius was reaching for something on a really high shelf and Remus just walked over, grabbed it, and walked away
He didn’t even say anything he just left
Sirius is still a bit mad about this
The other Marauders begged Lily to brew him a shrinking potion and she eventually gave in after he made a joke about her being short
Remus was suspicious so he had a very small sip and only got down to 6’0
James was ecstatic to be even the slightest bit taller than Remus
Sirius threw a fit at still being shorter
Peter didn’t have high hopes to begin with
Peter - 5’7 1/2
Got a growth spurt first and was a bit taller then both James and Sirius during Second Year
He’s the shortest and he’s so close to 5’8 the Marauders let him get away with him telling people that
Sirius tried to use a height spell on him to make him taller in Sixth Year
The spell ended up making his tongue a foot long
The spell was temporary and to avoid Sirius getting another detention Peter ended up having that tongue for two weeks
Peter cut Sirius’ hair while he slept out of spite
Sirius - 5’11 3/4
Unlike Peter, Sirius isn’t allowed to round up with his height
If any of them hear Sirius give even the slightest indication that he’s 6’0 they will correct it and sometimes say he’s actually 5’10
Sirius actually would’ve been 6’2 but his growth was stunted because of all the abuse he suffered
Remus and James bully Sirius relentlessly for being short and Peter joins in too sometimes
Had a nightmare once that Reggie was taller than him
Secretly doesn’t mind that Remus makes fun of him for being shorter because he loves how tall Remus is
James - 6’1
As soon as he reached 6’0 he mentioned it to Lily constantly
Once tried using a stretching spell to make himself taller then Remus and ended up with a suspiciously long neck
Prongs looked like a giraffe
There’s definitely one of those things in his house that has kept track of his height
Has cornered Regulus with his height multiple times

Oneshot Jegulus. | Sirius (and the other marauders) walk in on Regulus and James
1995 words I it's cute i think
Sirius, Remus, and Peter were walking up from the common room.
"I'm telling you Moony, he's been fooling around with someone and he's hiding them from us, but we are about to catch them." Sirius stated, with a determined look in his eyes.
"I don't know Pads, maybe we should just wait?" Peter said, looking nervous. "I don't want to be traumatized AGAIN." He scratched his neck apologetically.
"Pete, how many time do we have to apologize? We really didn't think you would come back!" Remus claimed, looking rather annoyed.
"You were shagging ON MY BED! And whatever you were doing seemed as far from pleasure as I can think of" Peter responded, emphasizing his disapproval with his hands.
Sirius dismissed Peter with a hand motion. "Oh come on Wormy, my bed is always a mess, and Moony refused to put his books somewhere they weren't treated with the special care they CLEARLY needed."
Remus rolled his eyes and faced Sirius. "At least books aren't annoying" he said. "Anyways, we are SORRY you had to see that. But yeah, I do agree with Pete. If James hasn't told us, there must be a reason why."
"See? Even Moony agrees with me." Peter pleaded Sirius and pulled his arm to go back downstairs. "Can we please just leave and wait? Maybe we can catch them on their way out."
Sirius eyed Peter, suspiciously. "Wormy do you know something? Because you really seem determined to leave them to their business."
"What???? NO I- " He responded, scandalized. "No, I just have a bit of respect for my best friends' privacy, that's all." Peter quickly said, the words leaving his mouth so fast he could barely understand himself.
Sirius tsked and continued heading towards their room. "Yeah, yeah. Now tell that to someone who will believe you." They followed, walking up the stairs and standing right outside their dorm door. Sirius reached for the handle when Remus put a hand on his shoulder, pulling him back momentarily.
"Okay, but if James gets mad at us this is entirely your idea and you just dragged us with you, okay?" Remus warned him, putting his other hand in front of Sirius' face, using his finger in the same way he's seen Professor McGonagall do when she's telling them to stop with the pranks.
"Well that's exactly what he did so..." Peter mumbled, hoping they wouldn't hear him.
"Shut it Wormy." Sirius interrupted, raising his palm to stop Pete from complainig. "Yes Moons, this is ALL my fault. But I know you're secretly as intrigued as I am." He smiled at Remus, and then turned back to the door, rubbing his hands as if his criminal masterplan was about to start. "Now, gentlemen and Moonies, prepare yourselves for..." He reached for the door again and this time he actually opened it. He went to turn on the light and his eyes went back to James' bed. "Aha-AAAAAAAAH" Sirius jumped back and brought both of his hands to his face, covering his eyes. Remus and Peter stood behind him, equally surprised.
"Oh shit." Remus said, followed by Peter's "Indeed."
"MY EYES. I'M BLIND, OH MY GOD THIS IS TORTURE." Sirius said rather dramatically, falling to his knees with his hands still on his face.
James was laying on his bed, with Regulus sitting on top of him. James tried his best (and failed) to cover Regulus with his body, but Reg was using the sheets as a shield for both of their pelvic areas, so at least they weren't completely exposed.
"What the fuck?" Sirius screamed, hesitating to open his eyes. Remus was behind him. He mouthed You guys are dead at James and Regulus, bringing his hand across his neck, simulating a knife slitting someones' throat. Pete chuckled under his breath while he covered his face in an embarrased manner, still looking worriedly at Sirius.
James looked at Remus, then at Pete, pleading for help with his eyes, but both marauders were just standing there trying to hide their grinning faces. Regulus was just looking at the ceiling with a clear Please kill me now thought going through his mind, and both of them were blushing as much as humanly possible. James finally looked at Sirius, and passed a hand through his hair in an attempt to fix it, something he does when he's anxious.
"Hey Pads... Best friend, soulmate, love of my life. How are y-" James started with a small voice. "Prongs, shut it" Sirius quickly intervened. "Actually, no. Start talking, now." Sirius looked at James and then at Regulus, who was still pretending none of this was happening. Sirius was quick to notice the marks on his neck.
"Reg, want to help me over here?" James said nervously, looking at Regulus with a hopeful and awkward smile. Regulus finally looked back, startled by James' question.
"Me?" Regulus asked. "How is this my fault? You are the ones with zero sense of personal space and privacy! If I wasn't as quick, you'd all have VERY different expressions on your faces right now." James was even blushing harder, to a point that shouldn't even be possible. He let out a nervous laughter and just kept his head down, too embarrassed to look at Sirius and his other friends.
"In our defense, we did try to tell Sirius not to walk in while you were doing... stuff". Remus said proudly, as if he didn't just completely intrude his best friend's intimate moment.
"Oh, so you knew James was..." Regulus trailed off, looking for an appropriate word. "...busy" he narrowed his eyes, "and still decided to barge in. Unbelievable!"
"It wouldn't be the first time..." Peter said, ashamed of their group with evident codependency and lack of boundaries.
"Prongs and I's sense of privacy is none of your business! And that REALLY is not the main concern here." Sirius said, looking angry and tapping his foot anxiously, his arms crossed, clearly waiting for an explanation.
"Well, it is my business when you walk in on me having sex with my boyfr-". Regulus shut his mouth as soon as he felt the word leaving his lips, but it was too late.
James finally looked up, surprised at Regulus' words. He looked at him with eyes full of love that Reg couldn't help but smile at him. They were just staring at each other, completely forgetting what was happening around them. After a few seconds, Remus brought them out of their daze with a poorly faked cough.
"Your WHAT?! Your BOYFRIEND?" Sirius threw his arms in the air in pure disbelief and shock. "James, do you care to explain what is going on? Because my baby brother here seems to have hit his head and just called you his boyfriend."
"Well..." James said, looking down at his knees. "I am his boyfriend. And he is mine." James looked back at Sirius, trying to seem confident in his words. Then he grabbed Regulus hand and smiled at him, his smile immediately filling his boyfriend's chest with warmth.
"Oh Jamie, Jamie, Jamie. Please tell me this is a joke, or I will have to kill you for fucking my little brother." Sirius said in what could only be described as a maniac's tone. This seemed to make Regulus and James understand that they were far from done explaining.
"Look, Pads. I really wanted to tell you. It just happened, I promise I wasn't planning on it. But it did, and I'm glad it did. Trust me, this isn't how I wanted you to find out". James sighed.
"And how did you want me to know then? With an invitation to your wedding?" Sirius replied, but he was less agitated.
Both of them were quiet, and SIrius only sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Look. I'm not anyone to tell you what to do in your free time. But my brother? Really? You had to shag him?" Sirius asked. The other two marauders were unusually quiet during the whole thing.
"Sirius, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. But I will not apologize for loving Reg. He makes me incredibly happy, and I truly hope I make him feel at least half of what he makes me feel." James only had eyes for the younger Black brother, who was nodding at him as in response to his last statement. He was looking at him with the most endearing gaze.
"I asked him not to tell you. I didn't know how you'd react, but I know how incredibly possessive you are. You're a borderline psychopath". Regulus said, trying to take some of the tension off the air.
James just closed his eyes and smiled at the poor attempt of a joke. "I'm not possessive". Sirius exclaimed. This got him a questioning look from literally everyone in the room. Remus raised his eyebrow. "Fine! I may be a bit overprotective. But that doesn't mean you needed to hide it from me for... how long has this been going on?" He asked, pointing at both of them.
"Uhmmm, since September? A few weeks after coming back." James answered shyly.
"September?! That was 5 months ago!" Sirius replied.
"Well yeah, and by the looks of it we made the right choice in not telling you". Regulus said, rolling his eyes.
"What?" Sirius asked confused. "Oh, sorry Mr. MY EYES, I'M BLIND!, didn't know that was your idea of a good reaction". Regulus answered annoyed. "Now, if you don't mind, I want to get dressed since you ruined the moment and I clearly won't get to finish what I was doing". He glanced at the door, suggesting the three intruders to give them some privacy.
"Fine, but Reggie, you're talking to me as soon as you are dressed. I'm not kidding, you have three minutes. I'll wait in the common room". Sirius said, already walking towards the door.
"Three minutes huh? I can make it work." James joked, raising his eyebrow suggestively at Regulus. "NOW, Regulus." Sirius said from the stairwell. Peter moved and headed towards the common room too.
"Hmm, the Black brothers huh? There is something about their I'm borderline insane and have no sense of communication and processing feelings vibe that just does it, am I right?" Remus told James, smiling from ear to ear. James laughed innocently and Regulus just looked at the tall boy with a piercing gaze.
"Okay okay, I'm leaving!" Remus said, bringing his hands up in defeat. He walked towards the door, and as he was exiting and closing the door, he said "Next time lock the door, please." And he shut the door behind him.
Regulus and James were quiet for a few seconds before Reg got up to grab his clothes from the floor. James went back and rested on his elbows, looking at Regulus get changed.
"What?" Regulus asked while he was buttoning up his white shirt.
"Secret's out. Isn't that great?" James said.
"No, why would it be great? I'm about to have the most mortifying and awkward talk with my brother. What about that sounds great to you?" Regulus asked while he finished with his emerald tie.
James just sat up and motioned Regulus to come close to him. Regulus quickly understood and put his knees on the side of each of James' legs, straddling him. James only had the bed sheets to cover his hips.
"At least I will be able to do this" and he kissed him, cupping his face with one hand, pulling his head down towards him with the other one around his neck. "Without feeling guilty about it". He said as they broke apart.
"Oh yeah, because the guilt was really stopping you when you were sucki-" Regulus chuckled.
"Okay yes I get it." James interrupted in between laughs. "Now go talk to your sweet sweet brother and tell him I've done nothing but respect you."
"Oh but I don't want to lie to him" Regulus pouted, teasing James. "I'll see you later, love. We better finish what we started".
James bit his lip as he watched Regulus leave the room. "Oh, we will. I'll make up for it, I promise."
Oneshot ⋆ ★ Sirius talks to James
Set in 1995! Sad, angst, pain. All of the above. Canon divergent (just a bit because we love wolfstar). 1700 words
Sirius would take walks every few days. He’d go as Padfoot and walk around the neighbourhood. He’d walk through the streets he grew up in, the stores his mother always told him to avoid, and he’d see the same noisy muggles across the street, the family his father despised. He would go to a park, the same one he and Regulus used to go to before everything was ruined.
He would make sure no one was around, and transform into himself again. Was it a bit reckless? Yes. But he couldn’t stand being in that house all the time. Even with Remus with him, Order meetings to keep him occupied, and a godson to take care of from the distance, that house had many bad memories for him. It didn’t help that the family portraits were apparently enchanted just to insult him, his mother’s words ringing in his ears every time he walked down the stairs. He had tried to ignore them, he really did, but sometimes, he felt small, he felt sixteen again, scared for his life.
It also didn’t help that Regulus’ room was there, left untouched. Losing his brother was a pain he never knew was possible to feel. Even after enduring torture curses and years of abuse and rejection, the pain he felt when Regulus died was indescribable. He was angry when it happened. He had died running away from the life he was very insistent he wanted to follow. He died in vain because he was too stubborn to challenge his parents. He was scared, and Sirius couldn't blame him, but how he wished Regulus would have come to him first. Albeit, he knew that wouldn’t happen, his brother hated him, and he thought Sirius hated him too. He definitely gave him reasons to think so. But what if? It was still something he didn’t like thinking about.
To his surprise, his room was also intact. He didn’t expect his mother to leave his space as it was, and as far as he could tell, those permanent sticking charms worked. The posters he put up just to spite his mother were still there. At least that meant she cared about him, just enough to not destroy his room after he left.
So, yes. He needed to get out of that house every once in a while. Remus wasn’t entirely supportive of this idea, but he knew Sirius would go crazy otherwise. Instead, he would remind him how important it was for him to be careful, every time he walked out those doors.
So he’d walk to the park, very early in the morning to avoid other people, but not too early that the sun wasn’t visible in the sky. He obviously did that on purpose.
He was back from Azkaban, back from hiding after the Triwizard tournament events. Apparently, they led to none other than Barty Crouch Jr. to receive the dementor's kiss. Sirius was sure he had died in his cell, but maybe he imagined it. He thought that was really ironic, considering he was extremely close to meeting the same destiny just one year before him.
The first time he set foot back in Grimmauld Place all of the memories came back, the ones that seemed to have disappeared during his time in prison. It was all too real, too much, all at once. The worst part was finding his pictures from school, the ones he couldn’t take with him to the Potters’. He looked young and happy. He was full of life, a life that was taken away from him, as well as his best friends. Oh, how much he missed them, how much he missed James.
That’s why he would go to the park and look for the sun. He knew it seemed illogical to try to talk to a huge ball of fire in the sky, but his best friend happened to be this specific one. James was the un.
“Hey Prongs,” he said, already feeling his eyes full of tears. “It’s been a while since I talked to you. I’m so sorry I stopped. I really tried”. He could feel tears running down his face, his cheeks were wet but he couldn’t care less.
“I tried talking to you every day and to Moony every night, but the haze took over. After a while, all I could feel was sadness, if something at all. My mind was foggy, and all I felt was cold. Very cold.” He said, laughing in a self-pitying way. “I really missed you, I missed your warmth. I could’ve used it for all those years.” Sirius smiled at himself, thinking about how happy James made him. He wiped some tears from his face, trying to calm down.
“Oh, James. You’d be so happy if you knew how kind Harry is. He definitely goes after his mom.” He laughed shyly. “So, I wanted to tell you something“. He hesitated at first but suddenly realized how dumb it was for him to do that. It wasn’t as if anyone was around him. It was just James he was talking to, and he knew he was most likely not able to hear him.
“We finally sorted it out. Me and Moony.” Sirius couldn’t help but smile. “I know we took our time. Honestly, just when we were starting to make sense, everything went to shit.” Sirius suddenly stopped smiling. He really didn’t like thinking about that night, the night his life was ruined. But he couldn’t help it, he was used to it. After almost twelve years he spent in that cell, those creatures stole all the happy memories from him, leaving him with the worst ones only. October 31st was definitely the worst.
“I’m so sorry you’re not here with Harry. You and Lily. You deserved to be here, to see your kid smile, grow, and laugh. God, James, he’s great at Quidditch. I saw him fly and he would’ve given you a run for your money. Actually, he would probably beat you, since he’s a seeker, you know?” He grimaced because, of course, James didn’t know. He didn’t know anything because he wasn’t there anymore. Lily and James were dead, just like they had been for the last fourteen years. Since the night Sirius failed to protect them.
“He has the most gorgeous green eyes, after Lily’s of course. But other than that, he’s a Prongs Jr. through and through, even his glasses are like yours. And his crazy hair, you’d think you were a special case, but apparently it runs in the family.” Sirius went to wrap his arms around his knees, looking up at the sky. He was trying to picture James’ messy hair. The dementors couldn’t take this away from him. How he tried everything to make it sit somewhat nicely, even his dad's potion, and how he gave up after many unsuccessful attempts. Sirius would laugh at him, considering he had perfect hair, almost too perfect.
That was one of the first things he noticed when he came back. His hair was ugly, dirty, and tangled. His beauty was taken away from him along with his youth. He took pride in his attractiveness, even if it reminded him of the family he no longer had. He knew he once was very handsome, but he didn’t feel like that anymore.
Remus helped him. They spent hours untangling his hair, brushing his teeth, taking several showers, and eating a lot. Sirius slowly started to feel like himself again. His cheeks were no longer sunken, and his tattoos looked good on a well-fed body, instead of just ink hugging his bones. His own clothes made him feel like a person once again, and Remus was right there beside him.
“So, yeah. Moony and I are great now. We don’t have to go anywhere for the full moon anymore. They have this thing called Wolfsbane potion that helps him be himself during the moon. Apparently, Snivellus knows how to make it, and was kind enough to keep Remus supplied. I’m not sure what made him do that, probably some coercion from Minnie or even Dumbledore himself.” Sirius tried his best not to sound bitter when talking about Snape, he was truly thankful for his help, even when he despised the man. “We usually stay inside and cuddle. Can you picture that? I have my own werewolf at home, just for me.” He bragged, letting out a laugh, quiet enough so no one could hear him even though he was all alone. He couldn’t be too careful. “Anyways, we sometimes go and still have fun, Moony and me, as Padfoot obviously. Just like the old times.” Sirius had to wipe a tear or two with the inside of his sleeve. He heard some chatter in the distance and knew it was his cue.
“Listen, James. I love you, and I miss you like you have no idea. Both Lily and you. But I’m lucky enough to have Harry. He really is the perfect combination of both of you. Not as smart as Lily though, but that friend of his, Hermione might be. Did you know her cat was my friend?” Sirius laughed at this incredible statement, a bit loudly this time.
“Anyways, that’s a story for some other time, but I need to go. I’ll see you soon okay?” Sirius sighed, sad to leave his best friend. But he was hopeful, he knew he had the next day, and the day after that, and a whole life to keep talking to James. And then, when the day came, he’d be able to see him once again.
“I promise I’ll take care of him. I even gave him our mirrors, the ones we used in Hogwarts.” Sirius pulled his mirror out of his pocket. He always had it with him just in case, very tempted to call Harry every five minutes, just to see those eyes. “Harry is the most important person in my life, and I’d do anything to keep him safe. You have my word.” And then, Sirius glanced at the sun once more before turning back into Padfoot and walking all the way back home, where Remus was waiting for him with some toast and tea.
In accordance to their love of 70s muggle music; Sirius sings Jolene to Lily any time she takes James on a date (does Sirius sing it as Lily?? You tell me)

the urge to just burst into tears over how much i love certain characters is overwhelming
today 53 years ago, four boys met on a train. they didn't know they would grow up to be almost inseparable, and they didn't know that one of them would grow up to separate them forever.
happy first of september <3
The Marauders Era fandom is so creative and I could never be too proud.
Remus ate chocolate once and we all agreed he was obsessed
I love how the fancast (with Ben Barnes, Andrew Garfield, Aaron Taylor Johnson, etc) is agreed by most of the fandom
Everyone has a hard time sorting out what's canon or not
Simping for Sirius and Regulus is definitely normal
Let's be honest, where would us be without the headcanons and fanfics
Look, if Andrew Garfield, Ben Barnes and Aaron Taylor Johnson don’t play the old Marauders in the Harry Potter Series, then whats the point?
