“Like the fact that the person Sirius cared most about in the world was you. Like the fact that you were coming to regard Sirius as a mixture of father and brother. Voldemort knew already, of course, that Sirius was in the Order, that you knew where he was, but Kreacher’s information made him realize that the one person whom you would go to any lengths to rescue, Was Sirius Black.”
After Evan died in his arms, Barty refused to shower for weeks.
Because his skin was streaked with the dried remnants of Evan’s blood and that was the last thing he had left of his boyfriend. He didn’t want to wash the memories away.
I just know that the gossip sessions in the Hogwarts teacher’s lounge were fucking INTENSE. Like one second, everyone thought James and Sirius were a Thing, then the Charms professor comes running in with News: James pissed off Lily Evans again, and they’re both giving each other heart eyes! Money changes hands. Two days later, the Arithmancy professor announces he heard from a sixth year that Sirius and Remus were seen kissing in a corridor. More money passed and grumbling everywhere. Then, a week later, Regulus is mentioned. Does he like James? Barty? Remus? And what about Dorcas and Marlene? Does Mary actually look at Lily with love, or are they just best friends? Is Pandora dating Xenophilius, does anyone have proof?
Who the fuck knows? But I guarantee you, nobody is using that lounge to discuss lesson plans.
