The black manor marauders au
I want to introduce u to my marauders era au i have been cooking for like a year? two years?
if i put it simply, its just about all of them living together, aka the ultimate “everything is good” au, like i mean it, this would have NEVER happen in canon, and its SO FAR from canon (like it changes everything in the books, and the golden trio era so) be warned🤞
i havent decided if voldemort just straight up doesnt exist, or if he does but marauders arent the “main characters” anymore, if you get what i mean
but anyways let me present “the black manor au”
1976
first conversation about moving in together between sirius, remus, james and peter, theyre 17/16 in their dorm in the gryffindor tower, all being very jokey haha sure! sirius was serious though😔 (i also imagine they were maybe a bit tipsy, just very teenagery convo)
“and while were at it! let everyone move in! lily, mary, you know, the girls, ill even welcome regulus in! and bka bla bla”
“sure sirius sure, lets get you back to bed grandma”
1977
theyre 17/18, lily and james are dating, all of them are graduating, remus or peter or someone mentions that they really do not want to go back to living with their parents and sirius is like! wait! dont yall remember what i proposed to you all😔, and theyre like i mean it wouldn be niceee but its not really realistic is it? and hes like! why! not! him and james alone are rich enough to support their group alone so? why not? all of them agree a little more with the idea, but noone moves in utill next year
1978
they have been hogwarts graduates for a year and all of them are living separately, they visit each other alllll the time though, the economy is hard and like half of them are searching for jobs still.
peter ends up sleeping on a couch at remus and sirius’s(?) apartment, james and lily have a hard time finding a house, because somehow theres just no houses? and the topic comes up for the third and final time, this time its because siriuss[?) uncle had left him this big ass manor somewhere in the coutryside, its a temporary solution that sirous comes up with, and everyone moves in “until they find a good place for them”
the black manor residents: remus, sirius, james, peter, lily
1979
they have been living very happily in the manor for a year and still noone found any good house listings (the secret is that everyone kinda stopped looking about half a year in, they just havent told eachother) since the manor is so big each of the couples have like a whole wing for themselves and its crazy. marlene and dorcas are over all the time on visits and have claimed one of the guest bedrooms as their own, they still live in their own apartment. mary comes in one day with bags in hands and moves in, all she says is that she broke up with her partner and cant be bothered to look for a place to live right now, she is welcomed in with open arms, also lily finds out shes pregnant!
the black manor residents: remus, sirius, james, peter, lily, mary
1980
plottwist! the house was left not only to sirius but to regulus also, a week after dorcas and marlene moved in because of their new insufferable neighbors, regulus walks in with papers in hand talking about how the house is half his and sirius is like whaaaaat, nobody (except sirius) knew about this before, this conflict drags on, but in the end they decide that since the manor is so big i guess they could share🙄 howerver regulus does not move in for another year and in the meantime harry is born hurray! and dean is also! mary found out at the beginning of the year thwt she is pregnant with her ex partner and well, dean is born. and james and lily get married yay
tha black manor residents: remus, sirius, james, peter, lily, mary, dorcas, marlene
children of the black manor: harry, dean,
1981
there are now eight people living in this manor, alongside two children, but little did they know, this will be the year they will gain five more roomates and two new children.
on a random day in march they woke up to regulus moving in, and to their horror the whole gang is moving in also, i mean regulus is hard enough to deal with but the whole pantheon? AND XENOPHILIUS? nu uh. dorcas is estatic though and she is very exited to see all of her friends every day again. but, theyre all adults now, and regulus, evan, barty and pandora have been visiting dorcas pretty regularly and they are on so much better terms then they have been at in school, so while the change is not exactly celebrated, it is not that bad. peter has been dating sibyll for a few years now.
marlenes brother has died in a car crash, and while she wasnt that in touch witch her family, she was devasted, a week after the news a person showed up with a baby, apparently her nephew, saying that every one of her brothers has given up their rights and marlene is the onyl choice before putting the kid to foster care, even though marlene didnt really want a kid (or rather wasnt planning one) she took him in, deciding to raise him with dorcas. also this year luna is born. AND lily finds out shes pregnant again, AND sibyll finds out shes preggo also
tha black manor residents: remus, sirius, james, peter, lily, mary, dorcas, marlene, regulus, barty, evan, pandora, xenophilius
children of the black manor: harry, dean, lee, luna
1982
following the news of sibyls pregnancy she moves in a few months before birth, making the number of the people living in 14. little jasmine (james and lilys daughter) was born at the beginning of the year, and hecate (peters and sibyls) was born in summer. other than that the year wasnt really eventful, nobody else moved in, noone died and so on, harry dean and lee celebrated their second birthday, while luna celebrated her first. all of the residents have warmed up to each other, really making it feel like a found family

children of the black manor: harry, dean, lee, luna, jasmine, hecate
1983
in the middle of the year, barty and evan have arrived home from work (aurors or something like that, but they would NEVER have been aurors but like i really dont know what else) shaken up and with a seven year old boy (oliver (wood)) apparently they were working on some case with a bad evil wizard booo and oh no! he has children! since both of them have been raised in similar conditions they have seen themself in the kid and something something they had to save him so out of nowhere there is oliver. it took a long time but since his father is awful, he had been placed in their care, but not just him! no no, he has a little sister, and since we cant separate siblings, little four year old skylla has joined oliver and moved in. they are very close, even if they are three years apart they sometimes act like twins. and now there are eight children running around!

1986
1987
the first kid is off to hogwarts wooo!!!! its a very big deal for the whole manor, there was a whole party and everyone decided (to the horror of eleven year old oliver) to walk him off to the train, imagine your first day of school and there are 14 adults and seven kids walking you out, embarrasing.
1988

1993
the only year every single kid is at hogwarts! all eight of them!, its oliver last year, and jasmines and hecates first year. there was a biiiiiiiiiiiiig party big big big party and it was a hugee deal. after they left, the manor was very calm,: which was WEIRD, everyone had to adapt to it again and it was very weir
