The marauders come up with a plan to get back at the SlytherinsThe song at the beginning is 'Prettiest Star' from David Bowie's 'Aladdin Sane' album. Lyrics:Cold fire, you've got everything but cold fireYou will be my rest and peace, childI moved up to take a placeNear youSo tired, it's the sky that makes you feel triedIt's a trick to make you see wideIt can all but break your heart.
Remus begins his career as a thirteen-year-old cigarette mogul.
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 pastI would sit and blame the master first and lastAll the roads were straight and narrowAnd the prayers were small and yellowAnd the rumour spread that I was aging fastThen I ran across a monster who was sleeping By a treeAnd I looked and frowned and the monster was me
Thug Life Remus :PPLEASE 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.
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 😭

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