Remus is once again at a loss with crying girls

CW for lightly used homophobic slur and a bit of swearing

Back at school, and Remus is gay for his teacher

In which Remus realizes that he's supposed to like girls

feat. Remus not knowing he's gay (again)

:)

Author Notes: Words, words, words!

I'm back :P (I moved and started college and have a relationship so I've been super busy sorry guys!!!!!!) Btw: if I ever decide to quit (which I won't), I'll let you guys know so you can stop asking if I'll ever be back when there's a large gap between episodes.

Author notes: The prank progresses, the first gathering of the slug club, and a confrontation.

The marauders come up with a plan to get back at the Slytherins

The song at the beginning is 'Prettiest Star' from David Bowie's 'Aladdin Sane' album. Lyrics:

Cold fire, you've got everything but cold fire
You will be my rest and peace, child
I moved up to take a place
Near you

So tired, it's the sky that makes you feel tried
It's a trick to make you see wide
It can all but break your heart.

First Hogsmede trip!!

Remus begins his career as a thirteen-year-old cigarette mogul.

Remus has a new favorite subject

Back at Hogwarts for third year!

Lyrics at the beginning of the chapter are the opening lines of 'Width of a Circle' from David Bowie's 'Man Who Sold the World' album. Lyrics: In the corner of the morning in the past
I would sit and blame the master first and last
All the roads were straight and narrow
And the prayers were small and yellow
And the rumour spread that I was aging fast
Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping 
By a tree
And I looked and frowned and the monster was me

Thug Life Remus :P

PLEASE NOTE: "Fags" is UK slang for cigarettes. In this context, it is not being used as a slur. It is used to refer to cigarettes for the remainder of the fic, so be aware of that.

More UK slang used in this chapter:

Skinhead – British subculture made up of working class youths in and around London during the 1960s, ‘70s and 80s. They listened to ska and reggae and were into Jamaican rude boy culture. They were known for being violent and getting into fights. Later (in the late ‘70s and ‘80s) the movement became white nationalist and ‘skinhead’ became shorthand for racist.

Bovver boots – heavy, black, steel toed boots worn by skinheads. Often doc martens or army surplus.

Do over/doing over – Rob/burglarise.

Offie – Off-Licence. British term for convenience store/tobacconist.

Second year wraps up

The last day of second year!

This is soo long, I’m not gonna spend a half hour re-listening to it to make sure there are no mistakes, so if anything’s weird too bad 😭

Second year is beginning to wrap up

Author notes: CW for a homophobic slur/homophobic tone towards the end of the chapter.

Song is Changes by David Bowie. Lyrics that play:

Still don’t know what I was waiting for

And my time was running wild

A million dead end streets - and

Every time I thought I’d got it made

It seemed the taste was not so sweet

So I turned myself to face me

But I’ve never caught a glimpse

Of how the others must see the faker

I’m much too fast to take that test.

Remus’ thirteenth birthday!

Meet the girls! (I love them)

Sirius gets into some mischief

Author notes: This chapter is kind of a downer - don't read it if you're already feeling a bit blue!

This one’s got ups and downs fs

CW - some unpleasant family stuff in here that could be construed as child abuse (Sirius & Walpurga obvs)

“Fight! Fight! Fight!”

Ya’ll better buckle up, there’s a twist comin’ Author notes: CW - homophobic language/attitudes Sirius turns 13 :)

Grumpy Sirius Author notes: In which Remus has to do a lot of emotional labour.

CW: mention of suicide The boys get curious 👀

Confrontation… Reminder to follow my instagram (@atyd_audiobook) for updates! If I ever disappear for some time, you’ll know why :)

TW - Remus has some quite dark, negative thoughts in this chapter that could be triggering. If you’re sensitive to suicidal ideation, I recommend skipping 8:27-9:05.

This chapter was the beginning of my love for David Bowie Songs and lyrics: Five Years “Pushing through the market square So many mothers sighing News had just come over We had five years left of crying…” Rock n Roll Suicide Suffragette City “This mellow thigh'd chick's just put my spine outta place...” Moonage Daydream Lady Stardust “his long black hair, his animal grace; the boy in the bright blue jeans…”

Back to school and brother betrayal 💔😔 Song is Metal Guru by T. Rex (lyrics) “Metal Guru, could it be? You’re gonna bring my baby to me She’ll be wild, y’know a rock n roll child…”

Letters and an illiterate Remus 3

First year ends with mischief and a bittersweet feeling Author notes: Homophobic slur towards the end of this chapter.

The marauders are at it again I will be doing occasional Q&A’s as that’s what the majority voted for, so make sure to leave me some good questions :)

Did you hear me, kids?! I said don’t bully each other. If I sound nasally and gross in this episode that’s cause I was kinda sick lol Edit: My break is over! Author notes: In which Remus has a lot of very angsty feelings...

Don’t bully each other, kids. Author notes: Snape gets what's coming to him... Edit: Q&A poll is closed :) I won’t do them very frequently and they won’t postpone new chapters.

Prank planning, hehe This chapter was a nightmare to edit Author notes: Sirius gets an idea and Remus gets a gift.

Christmas!! My favorite chapter so far :) The song that plays near the end is Mambo Sun by T. Rex
