Remus
Not sirius cos his whole family was in slytherin, not gonna be James cos he was a bully and definitely not gonna be Peter cos he betrayed his best friends
Well, ADULT james could do it, he wasn't a bully then cuz he matured- but kid james was mean frrrrrrr
And it doesn't matter much if ur FAMILY are all non-gryffindors, u just have to be a gryffindor yourself (OR MAYBE NOT, U CAN JUST HAVE THE TRAITS OF ONE HEHEHE, idk tho)
Wut do u think @CookieFox133 @Rayvena
Remus
He was honestly the only nice one in the group lollll
@Thanius1234 And here is why you are definitely wrong and why James was a true Gryffindor:
He was brave: Along with his wife, Lily, he repeatedly acted against Voldemort to such an extent that Trelawney’s prophecy specifically stated that they’d defied The Dark Lord three times. Then, when Voldemort did find them, James tried to hold him off so that Lily could escape with Harry.
He was daring: Take the way he and Sirius set themselves and Peter Pettigrew the task of becoming Animagi so they could accompany Lupin on his wolfish forays. True, Lupin called those little escapades ‘the best times of my life’, so it was clearly an act of support that meant a lot to him. But the fact this also required a lot of rebellion would’ve likely attracted James to the task too. Sirius, who was also no stranger to rebellion, later compared Harry to James (Sirius replied: The risk would’ve been what made it fun for James.’) – even though by Marauder standards, Harry was, comparatively, a lot more careful. A risk-taker with a dislike of authority and an appetite for troublemaking. Sounds like quite a few Gryffindors we know.
He was chivalrous: He considered it the greatest insult to mistrust his friends and stood up for Lily when Snape called her a mudblood.
He was loyal: His closest friends were those many people would turn away from. He also helped his friends more than anyone else in his friend group, giving Sirius a second home and financially supporting Remus.
He was arrogant: At least at age 15. The most popular boy in school, the most talented, and the Quidditch star. Of course James had a big head. The only other thing to say in mitigation is that James was certainly not the only Gryffindor whose bravery came with a healthy side-order of arrogance. Sirius was almost as bad; Dumbledore, in his youth, was arrogant enough to think he and Gellert Grindelwald might unite the Deathly Hallows and so conquer death; even Harry had, as Hermione called it, ‘a bit of a – saving-people thing…’ which often led him to ignore other people’s advice.
He was reckless: Another Gryffindor-esque trait Harry and his father shared was a tendency to act before thinking. Not as bad as Sirius, but James never thought about consequences. He just did what he wanted, the worst was running the grounds with a werewolf. Lupin said there were near misses. When Sirius told Harry James enjoyed taking risks, he said it with a sense of pride, but such actions usually come with consequences.
A patronus/animagus (which we CANNOT choose) can only take the form of the animal that represents our true personality and inner traits. There is a reason why James's animagus and patronus took the form of a stag (a male deer); as the kings of the forest, stags are considered noble and they symbolize/represent leadership, courage, pride, masculinity, nobility, power, freedom, purity (not unlike the unicorn), stamina, virility, grace, instincts, maturity, regeneration, and spiritual enlightenment. Both James and Harry had these stag-like traits, and most of these stag traits were Gryffindor traits.
You may not like him, but like his son, James certainly had lion-esque energy that flowed through to Harry.
Anybody but Peter! Why would anyone vote Peter?????
LOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL
Wait- so u would rather pick james than him?! XD
I actually voted Remus, but yes, I'd even pick James over Peter if we're talking about who is braver, because even though I hate (teenage) James more than Peter, I will at least admit, yes, James is braver than Peter.
I give petey ze dauntless punch w/ a side of crucioooooo!
