"Even for your four, this is a new low," Minerva ranted, blood boiling as she stared down at her four favorite students, who were all seated in chairs in her office, looking less-than-contrite. "Breaking in to the Slytherin Common Room in the middle of the night? Sticking every single student to their bed?"
"We don't discriminate," Sirius Black nodded, sending her a grin. "Though James's boyfriend will be a bit mad."
"Oi! Shut up about Re-"
"Boys!" Minerva interrupted, trying not to laugh. "This is unacceptable. I have to take fifty points from Gryffindor!"
All four Seventh-Years paused, staring at her. "Fifty?" Remus Lupin asked, tilting his head to the side.
"Each!" Minerva nearly-screeched. "And detention every night for a week!"
"So that's two hundred points total," James Potter said sadly.
"Yes," Minerva nodded, trying not to feel too badly. "So if you-"
"Can you make it three?" Sirius asked, interrupting.
She blinked, quite sure she'd heard incorrectly. "I- what?"
"It's just, we're trying to set a record," Remus explained calmly, eyes wide. "We need to beat two hundred and fifty."
Minerva's heart began beating erratically. No. Surely they hadn't found out-
"We recently came across this, you see," James continued, grinning and pulling a paper from his pocket. "Peter, here, had a detention where he had to rewrite some old detention cards. And look at this one!"
Hand shaking slightly, Minerva looked at the card. On it, written in a scrawl, were the words:
Minerva McGonagall, sixth year, Gryffindor, a month's detention and a loss of 250 points for hexing all of the Slytherin team's brooms. (Most points lost in a single day.)
Sighing, Minerva tried to school her expression before she looked back at the four boys. But she knew it was far too late to do anything about this. The secret was out.
"You're our biggest role model, Professor," Peter said sincerely, an awed look on his face. "A record of the most lost points in a day? We just want to beat your record."
"Yes. Oh, well. We'll have to try even harder next time," James smirked, taking the card back from her loose grasp.
It was at that moment that Minerva McGonagall new she was absolutely fucked.
headcanon that sometimes if remus had a visible scar from the full moon, the other marauders faked similar injuries so remus wouldnβt stand out and be suspected
rosekiller have each otherβs mugshots in their wallets
sirius has a black leather jacket he's never seen without, yet it still seems to be in wonderful condition. remus has a brown leather jacket that used to be his dad's that looks like it's been through hell (it has)
π« Regret π«
Remus had been angry at Sirius for far to long now. There was always something that got in the middle when he wanted to forgive him.
First it was the thought that it had not been long enough and he deserved to drown in his own guilt. Because Remus could've killed Snape. Not just Snape, but James too. And that was too much to just forget. So he spent a week without speaking to him.
Then was the realization that Sirius might betray him like that again. And he couldn't accept that. So, another week without talking.
After two weeks of hating Sirius he considered it. He really did. But then he saw him laugh with James, like nothing had happened, and decided to hate him for yet another week (without noticing that Sirius hated himself for feeling happy, when thought he should be feeling awful all the time)
And then, after three weeks, here he was. In his bed after everyone had gone to sleep, thinking. Thinking how the love of his life has just a few steps away and regretting every single minute he was not with him.
The realization that Sirius never ment to hurt him, that it was a mistake, and that he spent the last three weeks hating him struck Remus so suddenly, that he lost his breath.
He got up and walked straight to the bed next to his and stopped. He knew Sirius was awake. He had hear him sob a bit, like he usually did before to sleep these days.
He opened the red curtains and whispered "Sirius?"
When the other boy saw him he answered with the only thing that he had said to Remus since the prank "I'm sorry".
The guilt in his grey eyes broke moony's heart. He got in, and hugged him, and kissed him.
They spent a long time whispering "I'm sorry"s and "it's okay" "I love you" until they fell asleep, arms wrapped around each other.
And just like that, they were okay again. What had happened in the last few weeks would always be a hard topic, but it was nothing compared to how much they loved the other. So, so much.

Sirius getting in trouble and McGonagall not calling his parents because Sirius was disowned, but also not calling the Potters because they had to take care of talking to James.
So, she decides to bring Regulus to her office and just let him yell at Sirius.
