The Macy's windows this year are "Macy's windows themed" like they depict people looking at the original Macy's windows from 100 years ago, in a little diorama inside the windows. I thought this was stupid at first but I decided it's apt. Christmas has been about "Christmas" since at least before the Charlie brown Christmas special like 50 years ago. It's an entirely meta holiday. You're not celebrating anything but the idea of celebrating something. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
ok but if the marauders survived think about potions master regulus and dada professor remus going to school every year and their loser boyfriends pining at kings cross, giving them a goodbye far more dramatic than any of the first years’ parents
…
“regulus, please. please don’t go ill do anything ill-“
“moony. moony listen to me. don’t step on that train don’t do it! five seconds, just five more seconds-“
“-i’ll even read that book, yeah reg? right? wait where are you going? WHY ARE YOU GETTING ONTO THE TRAI-“
“moony. my moon. REMUS LUPIN GET BACK HERE! DONT LET GO OF MY HAND YOU DICK-“
*they proceed to race after the train until it’s out of view while regulus and remus share mortified looks*
“floo next year?” remus asked, pale faced.
“yeah,” regulus whispered. a blush was creeping up his cheeks.“definitely floo.”
