It's been many years, but I am still trapped in a glass case of emotion over the life and times of the marauders.
Will we ever be free?
Nope. No, we will not. So here are some headcanons to both lift you up and crush you.
1. Just think about all the details these fools went through to be there for their friend.
2. Because they know that Remus Lupin is the biggest nerd in all the land and totally worth it.
3. And of course McGonagall knew everything.
4. She was, after all, their unofficial and vaguely disapproving professor sponsor.
5. Some images are just too beautiful to fight.
6. And you know Lily seized upon the opportunity to make this happen.
7. This definitely happened, for sure.
8. These people saw the absolute best and worst of each other as they grew up.
9. And that they (or at least most of them) were there to hold each other up through the worst of it.
10. Helping each other get through the day-to-day, month-to-month.
11. While trying to retain the things about themselves and their pack that made them love each other so fiercely in the first place.
12. And gettin' all snuggly.
13. They knew you just gotta keep keepin' on.
14. Just bros helping bros.
15. Oh god they're just SO FUCKING CUTE.
16. Wow. Just wow.
17. This was a ride or die crew, that's for sure.
Literally.
