Description
I felt like drawing some Marauders - this time complete with Peter
This was on Peter's birthday, he had wished for a photo of all of them together. Remus didn't want to be photographed and tried to sneak away - but Sirius would have none of it. It was shortly after Remus had acquired a fresh pair of scars and was embarrassed to have them recorded in a photo, as he knew that Peter would proudly send the picture to his parents. He lived in constant fear that finally someone would read the signs and blow the whistle on his "furry little problem".

This is so awesome! I can so see this happening. I am so digging Sirius' ability to grab Remus without breaking a perfect grin. That so fits his personality. XD Great job!

Love it, love the Marauder's placement! It reflects I think, their relationship. (The lineart is also great, a piece on its own, I think.) Really a good idea!

Scars on Remus's face are never mentioned in the books. As far as I can tell, their sole purpose in fanon is to make it easy to identify Remus in pictures of the Marauders.

Remus has them in the films, so they are not purely fanon: [link]
I somehow love that idea, so even though I normally choose book over movie interpretations, I adopted them. ^-^

The only real objection I have is that, if Remus turned up with fresh gouges on his face and body every twenty-eight days, you wouldn't have to be "the brightest witch of your age" (not THE age) to figure out that something was going on. Injuries every full moon, like clockwork--talk of Remus's "condition" would have been all over Hogwarts when he was a student, and as a teacher as well.
In my headcanon, Hermione figures out what's happening with Remus because she happens to have bad cramps all that year, and it feels especially unfair that she always seems to have Professor Snape for Defense just when she's feeling sick. Wait a minute! Professor Lupin is getting sick on the same 28-day cycle she is, and she knows HE'S not cramping! Yep, you might have to be the brightest WIZARD of fourteen to figure it out, but not the brighest WITCH.

Another bit of my headcanon, which is definitely AU, is that Remus lies about the the source of his scars, as he does about so much else. They are actually Sectumsempra scars, courtesy of young Severus. In a storyline that Wolfwillow is allowing me to insert into her tale "Birds of a Feather" [link] , Severus developed Sectumsempra specifically as a defense against Remus (it's "for enemies;" Sev's enemies are the Marauders, and Remus is by far the most dangerous of them). When James shows up expecting to rescue Snape and thereby lay a life debt obligation on him, he finds that he actually has to rescue Remus from being sliced into werewolf burgers. Dumbledore blackmails Severus into staying silent about the Werewolf Incident by threatening to report his creation of a new dark curse to the Ministry.
In "Birds," my version of the story is presented to the wizarding world in a rock opera called "The Half-Blood Prince," which is being created by four Slytherins and a Ravenclaw shortly after the Battle of Hogwarts. Is it true? Well, maybe it's an Alternate Universe or maybe it's just Artistic License, but it makes for a good opera.
Saith Anna Russell: In opera, you can do anything so long as you sing it.

Oh, thanks for putting all four of them together when they were best friends and things were wonderful. I did get a bit sad seeing James with his arm around Peter, knowing what would happen years later.

Yeah, it was a rough decision where to put Peter. At first I thought he'd go in the middle, because it was all about him that day, but it didn't feel right, also about his position in the group. So this was best and was supposed to show how much James trusted him.

Here they areeee ! Oh I love it, it's truly adorable ! This picture makes me happy because people usually picture Peter as really behind the other boys but you really put him with them, and it's nice to see that ! (I don't know if my sentence makes any sense here)

This looks so adorable! I love the irony- Peter drove them apart, and yet he also wanted a picture of them together. Isn't that ironic?
Oh, and of course I love this picture. Simply adorable. C:
