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.
traitor - January 8th - jegulus, platonic prongsfoot - @black-brothers-microfic - word count: 382
As soon as James walked into his flat, he got the odd sense he should leave. The very air was thick with anger, and he knew it could only mean one thing. Turning to tiptoe quietly back out the door, he managed to make it all the way to the entrance before-
"James!"
Fuck.
"Will you tell your fiancΓ© what a traitor he is?" Sirius screeched, standing in the door of the kitchen with his arms crossed and looking furious.
Before James could ask why, another, equally scary voice replied from within the room.
"James, will you tell your best friend he's an idiot?" Regulus called, voice full of both annoyance and amusement.
James considered calling Remus for help, but he knew it was too late. "What happened?" he asked wearily, shucking his jacket and walking into the warzone.
"Regulus told me I can't be his Best Man!" Sirius shrieked, throwing his hands in the air. "The audacity! I'm his only sibling and-"
"Because you're James's Best Man, you dumbarse!" Regulus interrupted, giving James a look that demanded he speak. "You can't be Best Man for both!"
"Why not? I damn well should be! I'm the most important person in both of your lives!" Sirius yelled, eyes wild.
James sighed, finally stepping in. "Regulus, did you tell Sirius what he would be doing instead of being your Best Man?" he asked the younger man gently, trying not to cause any more blow ups.
"No," Regulus grumbled. "He wouldn't let me." But he turned to Sirius and took a deep breath, as if trying to calm himself. "You're going to walk me down the aisle, Sirius. Give me away, and all that."
Immediately, Sirius's demeanor changed. His crossed arms fell to his sides and his furrowed eyebrows lifted as his eyes filled with tears. "Wh-what?" he asked, voice trembling.
"Oh, fuck, he's going to cr-" Regulus said fearfully, looking aghast and turning to get away from is brother.
But it was too late. Sirius pulled Regulus into a bear hug, sobbing hysterically. "I- l- lo- love y- you s- so m- mu-" he stuttered, tears streaming down his face and onto Regulus's expensive jumper.
"James, help!" Regulus hissed, looking like a trapped animal.
"Nah, love, that's all you," James grinned, turning to leave.
Oh domestic Rosekiller how I love you
Wolfstar hits harder if Remus isn't conventionally attractive.
Because while Sirius is still deep in denial and internalized homophobia, he's convincing himself like "it's okay, i'm not gay, anyone would want to kiss Remus once in a while, he's just objectively hot"
Except Remus is ankward and quiet when not around friends, he's too tall like he grew up too fast and doesn't know what to do with this extra height, his scars scare people away, he wears grandpa sweaters, drinks tea in his free time and goes to sleep at 9 pm, he can't flirt for the life of him (even though he could bc he's witty and sarcastic) because he has no self-confidence and it shows.
He's basically a loser (affectionate) and Sirius is like "it's okay, no need to panic, he's the sexiest man on earth but that's just an astute observation, no gay thoughts here"
and i just think that's funny as hell
We as a fandom don't explore the idea of the marauder's bullying Sirius for being French as much as we need to
The Marauders meeting as a whole group for the in nearly twenty years right after Remus dies and there all having this heartfelt moment until Peter walks in across the room.
And instantly Sirius loses it. Wants to go up to him and fight him and Remus and James have to physically restrain him because he's saying "I'm already dead. The little rat can't kill me again."
And Peter obviously hears this. He kinda shrinks into himself because Sirius could hurt him even without magic, but that's not why he walks away. Not why he gets scared shitless.
No.
He walks away because of the second pair of grey eyes that stand next to James. He gets scared as he remembers the threats given to him by the youngest black brother.
"You betray them, Pettigrew, and I will kill you. I don't care that you're a pureblood, or that your a spy for us. He treats you like a brother, and if you throw that away It'll be your own life your ending."t
He treats you like a brother
At the time Peter assumed he was talking about James. But now, with the look Regulus is giving him from across the room, as Sirius thrashes against the arms of his best friends, he knows who he was truly talking about.
Some of my marauders headcanons cause I have too many
Remus is bisexual
Sirius is genderfluid
James started as the most supportive ally in the word for his friends, and ended up discovering that he was pansexual
Peter is aroace
Wolfstar confessed their love to each other during Christmas, under the mistletoe because that just so cute
Remus and Sirius started dating at the beginning of their fifth year
Lily said I love you first, but after that, only in very important occasions just to keep it important
James said it a thousand times a day
Jily started dating the last months of their sixth year but waited to go public until beginning of seventh year, because lily couldn't admit that she was deeply in love with the man she had swore to hate forever just a few years before
Dorcas is a Slytherin and Marlene a Gryffindor
Good old enemies to lovers with them
They started dating during forth year and everyone knew because they didn't even try to hide it
They would flirt during quidditch matches, making James crazy because Marlene wasn't paying attention
Remus drinks hot chocolate, not coffee
Sirius would dedicate the song Gorgeous by Taylor swift to Remus
Gold Rush would remind Remus of Sirius and would sing it whenever they were together and it sounded on the radio
James is a Swiftie and would dedicate Paper rings to Lily
She pretends to hate it at first, but it's obvious that she adores it
It's unhealthy how much more of those i have (this is just my opinion, hope you like them π)
using "Walburga's A+ Parenting" as a warning for child abuse in a marauders fanfic will never not be funny to me
James Potter walking around Hogwarts encounters a black kitty. Calls him handsome, pets him, and takes many pictures, baby-talking to him like normal people do when they see a cat.
Regulus Black afterwards, gay panicking in his dorm. Because someone called him handsome. James Potter called him handsome.
James in his room just talking about a cute kitty he found on the grounds, completely oblivious.
<3

Lily, walking into a common room: We need to talk about Sirius Sirius, not sure what she's talking abou: I didn't do it! Marlene, also unaware of what Lily is talking about: He did do it, I saw him
