so now, all of their friends know including regulus. We’ve made it to the last semester of school before everyone moves to London, Lily got into Oxford, but rejected it (????), and Maura and Peter are back together much to sirius’ dismay.

Remus and Sheila have had it out, it’s not forgiven, but it’s been talked about which is more than they can say for the past 92 chapters of this godforsaken book. Remus finally has a member of his family that has shown affection for him and I love that for him. Sidebar; Peter has finally found out that his two best friends are gay as fuck, and if we’re being honest, James isn’t completely straight either-

remus, sirius, regulus & mary? what a group. this was such a sweet chapter. their friendship is so unexpected and yet it makes so much sense. regulus hanging out with his brother’s friends is so important to their story i love them. also edge? CUTE.

THESE GAYS BRO. okay. so. Mary fucked up big-time. She kissed Marlene in front of Nicole as a joke during the no fraternizing party, and Nicole dumped her drink on Marlene’s head this sort of ended in Marlene having to tell Mary that she’s gay. Which also led to finding out that remus and sirius are an item since sirius launched himself into the air, and Remus caught him, losing the bet = they can touch again.

sirius and remus have come out to james and lily 😭that was one of my favorite chapters of all time holy shit. (chap. 86). it took a while but it paid off. lily, of course, already knew and james was as shocked as the next guy but was more mad they didn’t tell him sooner. also we learn that sirius and james had necked on by accident on remus’ bday in 11th year. bisexual james potter, you will always be famous.

“you know i can have him whenever i want, yeah?” i had to literally get up and walk around my room for a hot second. i fucking KNEW it. sirius took it like a champ tho, bless him. holy fooook that was intense.

okay. so what the fuck, actually! regulus and remus made up and then it went to shit, naturally. and then sirius and remus with their i love u’s and poetry jusy for them to yell and scream and decimate each other. fuck. ALSO? REMUS ISNT LYALL’S SON???? jaw dropped to tartarus. remus stand up moment.

THE BEGINNING OF THE LOVE POEM ERAAAA YESSSS. also poor peter he almost got his face caved in cause he’s stoopid ay no.

a lot of things happened between these 2 chapters that i read but i need to address this first. REGULUS AND REMUS AS MUSIC TEACHERS HOOOOOOLY PEAK??? also blossoming friendship thank god, i love their chemistry and interactions. who knows how it’ll go over with sirius but then again, they’re doing fine so it’ll crumble again soon.
LE❤️ (lily evans) tattoo???? fucking genius. the girls’ prank was perfect.

i’m actually going mental. fucking yaxley OF ALL PEOPLE almost caught them oh my god my heart deadass stopped. james vs sirius bro this shit is soooo cooked, best friend falling out is so hard to read. they’ll get it together soon, i’ll wager, but still. THE SEX IN THIS CHAPTER🫪🫪 don’t play w me. REMUS REALLY JACKED HIS BOI OFF BEFORE PUTTING OUT A (LITERAL) FIRE THAT HE STARTED. CRAZY SHIT L&GS!!
