Everyone’s Mysterious Discussion Of The Mauraders(3rd Book)

Everyone’s mysterious discussion of the Mauraders(3rd book)

Is extremely confusing. Lupin and Snape, in particular, make comments that don’t really make sense, but Jkr seems to have been trying to make their comments as mysterious as possible.

Now, I don’t really remember reading this book for the first time. I read it a very long time ago, if I had to guess after the fourth or fifth book had come out. I don’t think I knew what was happening, but I can’t say for sure. I can only speak in hindsight about the words that are spoken leading up to the reveal of the Mauraders.

Lupin says “Snape’s Grudge”, “these mapmakers would have wanted to lure you out of school. They’d think it extremely entertaining.”

Now, we know the Mauraders had a vicious trick streak and could be very mean with their pranks and jokes. Granted, we only see the worst of it focused on Snape, but I find it difficult to believe anyone could only be that cruel to one person. Maybe Snape got the brunt of it and was a specific target, but I get the idea that the Mauraders didnt often think about the consequences of their actions.

So it is possible Lupin simply thinks that the idea of a boy who was not supposed to go outside the castle doing so would be fun for them, because they simply just liked causing trouble. But the way its phrased, “lure”, makes me feel this doesn’t quite fit the bill. Before I go on to my next theory, I will say that Sirius luring Snape through the willow may be fresh on Lupin’s mind, so perhaps that’s where his choice of words came from.

However, even that I think lends to a different theory, that the strangeness of this comment comes more from Lupin thinking *Sirius* would like to lure Harry straight to him and think it very funny that Harry walked to his own death.

This actually makes a lot of sense on all stages. Lupin wouldn’t want to say only one Maurader would find it amusing, that is more telling than Lupin was trying to be. But he also would use the word lure specifically because of its menacing connotations.

It never actually gets directly explained though, which I think delves into this larger narrative of vague mentions of James and Sirius being terrors and mean without any real evidence that they were anything but. Which maybe they weren’t but they are examples of characters I feel I need a little more of, besides often vague statements about them.

harry potter the fact that sirius used to be very mean speaks to a lot of interesting things I think it speaks to how he was raised; in that terrible house; by that awful woman and it speaks to how people Believed that he could be a traitor that makes more sense if Sirius was charming but... also quite mean at times I definitely think Lupin didn't have great feelings about Sirius and school antics

A Week Of Exploring Cinematic Concepts For My Potterbyblvnk Sketches. With The Help Of You Guys, I Decided

A week of exploring cinematic concepts for my potterbyblvnk sketches. With the help of you guys, I decided to call this series “potterframes”.

I want to show you in details, colors and atmosphere, how I imagine the story of Harry Potter beyond my sketches. My goal is to create believable “movie” scene. I know we already have the movies, but there’s a lot we can explore, especially after growing up.

I might have a lot of fun desiging the dark side of the story this time, with a bit of light for a contrast, of course.

Hope you enjoy.

As always, the only intention is to feed my imagination.

Harry: Oh and Hermione started S.P.E.W

Sirius: She started spewing?

Hermione: No. S.P.E.W. It’s an organization that fights for house elf rights and makes sure they get treated fairly

Sirius (scoffing): Have you met house elves? Have you met my house elf? They’re annoying and nosy

Hermione (frowning): That’s not nice Sirius. They deserve to be treated equally. Maybe if you were a bit nicer to Kreacher, he’d be nicer to you

Sirius (remembering a black haired boy with bright gray eyes saying the exact same words to him at the exact same table 20 years ago): How much?

Hermione: Excuse me?

Sirius: How much do you need to get it started?

Hermione: I don’t need m-

Sirius (interrupting): I have money to spend and it’s for a good cause. It’ll be a monthly donation. Make it in the name of Reggie

Hermione: Uh okay? I’ll make the donation in Reggie’s name

Sirius (smiling and thinking of how much he hated to be called Reggie): Good. Thank you.

What if Tonks wasn't the only Black that was accident prone. What if Regulus was a total clumsy fellow but he played if off. "Shit you okay" "yeah why wouldn't I be?" "You just rolled down the entire Quidditch Bleachers" "yeah and?" "...." while on the inside Regulus is crying and trying not to show how much that hurt

HAHAH REGULUS FALLS OVER IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE GREAT HALL AND JUST GLARES AT SOMEBODY WHEN THEY TRY TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT
