#I am back on my marauder's bullshit y'all and it is A Lot

[violetclarity]

Had to order a new copy of Prisoner of Azkaban this week for work (normally I wouldn’t put any more money in her pocket, obviously, but we are a library serving middle schoolers and the copy I was replacing had literally detached from its binding) and I forgot that the summary is all “Sirius Black, most notorious prisoner in all of Azkaban, Voldemort’s heir apparent, murdered twelve people” and I was so shook because I forgot that’s how he is introduced and you don’t get the full picture of the Marauders until like? book six?

Anyway I was so overcome for a minute that I almost tried to engage one of my coworkers in conversation about how many emotions the marauders plot line gives me. That’s how distracted I was. I almost WENT TO ANOTHER ROOM to FIND MY COWORKER and try to discuss the fact that REMUS AND SIRIUS WERE IN LOVE.

#hp #wolfstar #marauders #I am back on my marauder's bullshit y'all and it is A Lot #I've even started reading wolfstar fic again #someone stop me #anyway I maintain that the marauders backstory is the most tragic part of the series #I don't think that she realized how tragic it was when she was writing it I think it was mostly cobbled together to fill plot needs #like 'oh shit well someone besides sirius needs to have betrayed them so *rolls dice* it was peter' #not 'what would possess someone to turn against his best friends of almost ten years who he had already broken multiple laws with/for' #ANYWAY #if they ever try to make a marauders backstory movie I Will Riot bc I don't think there's any way to explain it #like it's better and sadder if we just don't know the full story of what happens #I'll still be crying for remus though #can you believe I almost said this to one of my coworkers #at the CATHOLIC SCHOOL i work at #yikes @ me #(also I want everyone to know that I tried to find a used copy just to avoid giving that terf any more money) #(but I couldn't actually justify buying a used copy bc the new copy was only $6) #(and none of the good used copies were cheaper than $6)
