durmstrang!sirius and slytherin!marlene | dark!blackinnon au

walburga senses, as most mothers often do, that hogwarts may not be the right place for sirius after all, so before his letter arrives at 11, she ensures his place at durmstrang is secured. he is a black, so that’s easy enough. and while sirius is our fully rebellious teenager that we know and love and doesn’t exactly fit within the black family standards, he can’t quite deny that he’s having a bit of fun learning a few new tricks in his heavily dark arts oriented school.

on the other side, we have a completely surprised marlene after being sorted into slytherin. and yet she can’t quite complain. the views from under the lake are stunning and there’s a lot of comfort surrounding her in her new house. and she can’t exactly claim she doesn’t fit in either because after all, not only his father is head of a department in the ministry, but the mckinnons are a well respected pureblood family even if they’re not considered rich enough to commune with the highest wizarding families.

both sirius and marlene are surrounded by people talking day and night about the dark lord and his promises to build a new world and how he will reward his most loyal followers. neither are particularly interested in it and, at this point, they’re both safe enough for them and their families to not being at risk.

also yes, they’re both know each other, seeing as marlene is the daughter of an important figure in the ministry and the black’s business often times coincides within the realm of the ministry, they were the type of kids who tag along their parents from time to time and they were left to socialize. they got along well enough, to the point marlene had been disappointed when certain heir didn’t joined her in hogwarts.

now let’s cut to after graduation shall we?

sirius ends up joining the death eaters because he feels someone has to look after his idiot brother before he manages to get himself killed.

marlene doesn’t join the order given her acquaintances in hogwarts, thinking she might not be able to keep it a secret and believes her family is safe as long they don’t say anything against the new world order that is expected to take over.

except his father ends up using his position in the ministry to his advantage thinking he might have a chance to impact change for good and death eathers find his involvement with the order. they not only set out to kill him, but as a precaution they kill all of his family with the exception of marlene.

marlene has two choices: either join the order and help them win the war or set out to plot revenge for her family on her own. she chooses the latter.

now, in this au regulus tells his findings about the dark lord to sirius and doesn’t die in that cave. but that doesn’t mean he’s saved.

sirius now holds the power to take down voldemort once and for all and because he heard what happened to the mckinnons, set to reach out to marlene playing a bit of double agent himself.

trouble is marlene has found the death eaters headquarters and manages to bring the whole building to the ground all on her own.

now, any guesses who’s little brother was inside that building at the time of the explosion?

that’s right: regulus black.

what’s sirius to do now? especially since marlene is showing no remorse for her actions, claiming it was regulus choice to join the death eaters in the first place, knowing damn well the risks.

He and Uncle Padfoot were inseparable.

there's no better feeling when you’re writing and you become aware of the fact that the plot is actually plotting and it's not just a silly idea running around in your head anymore.

bellatrix black (the angel of death)

Baby, I'm a sociopath Sweet serial killer On the warpath Cause I love you just a little too much

andromeda black (the girl who got away)

She's got, she's got a way She's got a way, she's got a way She got, she got away She got away, she got away

narcissa black (the last hope)

The winner takes it all The loser's standing small Beside the victory That's her destiny

also i doubt remus would’ve said he got all the women if he knew sirius left them hanging, why mentioning it then? and let’s not pretend like being gay/bi/queer during the 70s was easy. maybe he was, maybe he wasn’t. we don’t know.

Idk why people get weird when I mention that I think that Sirius is also attracted to women😭 Like are we talking about the same guy?😭 Bro had bikini posters of women in his room???😭 Nothing wrong with you thinking he's gay, but it can't be that surprising for some people to think he likes women?????😭

IT’S THE BEEEEEST OF BOTH WORLDS 🎶💁🏼‍♀️

pls don’t jump, we need fluffy blackinnon so bad, but you can consider it pay back for giving marlene those horrid new balance, no way, no how she wore those, you cruel cruel human.

a blackinnon story told in reverse: from the heart achingly lost of her life to the very beginning when they started to fell in love.

bonus points if near her death they closer to breaking up o they were already apart.

OMG WAIT (see here the concept)

what if the story begins with gilderoy surprising peter with a wedding for his anniversary (better late than never) and all their friends join them in the honeymoon (codependency at its best) and all hell break lose?

sirius trying to down play the fact that he’s going mad having marlene constantly watching out for him because he knows is out of love.

the potters acting as their parents.

remus bringing tonks for the first time on a holiday with them.

people will see a fandom thing and be like "why isn't this a fanfic" "why is there no fanfic about this" my brother in christ, because you're not writing it

New chapter | Marauders: The Untold Story

Remus: I understand when people called James arrogant. It wasn’t really his fault being conceited. Only child, loving parents, a comfortable economic situation, who wouldn’t come out into the world thinking they deserve everything good in life? But as egotistical as he could be, he was also caring and kind-hearted.  Yes, I’m aware of how he and Sirius treated other people, especially when they were younger, but it’s not like they were mistreating someone vulnerable, they were messing with a bunch of other self-important, full of themselves, snooty kids. And they did change their ways in the end. Well, somewhat. You couldn’t be expected to make it into the music industry, especially during the seventies, and not be a little ruthless.  So yeah, James approached my concerns tactfully. He didn't want me to feel different, though we were, and by the end I didn’t even realize I was accepting his help. When we finally ended playing at their dance, I was wearing one of James’ old suits.  James: From that moment on, we became insufferable. In mine and Sirius' case, even more so than usual. But seeing Remus and Peter starting to believe in the band too, was amazing. We couldn’t shut up about it. Every weekend from then on we fought over who’s idea to give a try first, we were all so inspired.  At some point Hope lent us her record player. We took turns picking songs from Sirius’ collection and then tried them out on our instruments. Remus: We started changing the lyrics to the covers we played, then slowly one of us would change a chord or a beat, and then suddenly we were writing our first songs, not just obscene tunes anymore (stops, then laughs). A few of our songs turned out to be quite obscene, but you know what I meant, we didn’t feel like kids doing it anymore.

I'm gonna be real with you guys.

Eleven year old Remus Lupin: (desperately trying to hide the fact that he was a werewolf) would not— in fact — make friends with the two loudest troublemakers he'd ever seen in his life on the first day of school.

Actually, the moment James and Sirius had stepped foot into the compartment he was sitting in, shoving at each other's shoulders and yelling over each other about a prank they couldn't wait to pull, he just grabbed his things and left.

Instead, he joined a quiet, shy kid who's luggage tag read Peter Pettigrew, and they sat in peaceful silence the whole way to hogwarts.

It wasn't until the four of them found themselves standing in their assigned dorm room that night that Remus realised he never really stood a chance at all, the pair would be his friend whether he wanted them or not.

(And he would want them... eventually.)
