Alright so we all know that during an advanced potions cause at Hogwarts the students learn about Amortenia. Slughorn had decided that his potions prodigy, Lily Evans would be sure to help out James Potter, who was only taking potions because it was mandatory for an auror. So here we have Lily Evans and James Potter leaning over a finished cauldron of amortenia togethor.

“I can’t smell a damn thing!” - James

“Impossible! I’m 110% sure I got this right.” - Lily

“Well obviously not.” - James

“Well perhaps I could actually to smell something if you didn’t use buckets of conditioner this morning.” - Lily

“I wouldn’t be one to talk, the amount of rose perfume you are wearing is giving me an asthma attack.” - James

They continue like this for ages and the class slowly loses their shit.

That is until Lily realised that she ran out of her rose perfume last week and that James hadn’t showered that morning since Sirius was hogging the bathroom.

Members of the Black family and their history seem to have made a tradition of naming their children after stars and constellations.
Also known as the “Dog Star”, reflecting its prominence in its constellation, Canis Majoris, Sirius is derived from the Ancient Greek, meaning “glowing” or “scorcher.”
Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation Leo, and is Latin for ‘prince’ or ‘little king’. In Babylonian astrology, Regulus is listed as Lugal, meaning “the star that stands in the breast of the Lion: the King.”

He was a skinny, black-haired, bespectacled boy who had the pinched, slightly unhealthy look of someone who has grown a lot in a short space of time. His jeans were torn and dirty, his T-shirt baggy and faded, and the soles of his trainers were peeling away from the uppers. Harry Potters appearance did not endear him to the neighbours, who were the sort of people who thought scruffiness ought to be punishable by law.

but I want to know how long it took for the marauders to come up with their nicknames

“for the last time sirius, we’re not going to call peter ‘rabies’”

“remus if you call me ‘prancer’ one more time I will ram you into a wall I swear to merlin’s beard”

“SHUT UP POTTER WE ARE NOT CALLING ME SNUFFLES”

“Bambi my ass, Sirius.”

“Moonlight sounds a bit ridiculous, Peter.”

“Sirius, you’re going to be Furry Little Problem the Second.”

“Merlin sake Black! We’re not going to call Peter Squeakers”

“What about Mickey Mouse for Pete tho” “What the fuck is Mickey Mouse, Lupin?”

I have this heartbreaking little head cannon that whenever someone casually brings up that Harry’s sons are named after two marauders, he just smiles proudly and says they were named after three.

People tend to look a tad confused, so he chuckles and pulls out a picture of his children. He points to the blue haired one in the middle, the other three children laughing along with the boy who they’ve never known as anything other than a brother. “That’s my son, Teddy Remus Lupin.”

The Potters smiled and waved at Harry and he stared hungrily back at them, his hands pressed flat against the glass as though he was hoping to fall right through it and reach them. He had a powerful kind of ache inside him, half joy, half terrible sadness. - J.K. Rowling
