10 Things that Aren't Canon

lls_mutantCause everybody's doing it... Most of these have actually made it into my stories, but hey.
1.) Uncle Alphard was a gay werewolf. Show me where it says he isn't. He left his money to Sirius because of how Sirius treated Remus and eventually Alphard over the werewolf issue.
2.) During the first war, James was a professional Quidditch player (reserve, thus the "not a lot of money"), Lily was a healer, Sirius was an Auror, Remus had several jobs, and Peter was a candy maker who invented Ice Mice.
3.) Peter was quite good at Divination. The others thought he took it for an easy O and heckled him mercilessly, which Peter resented because he WAS actually good at it.
4.) Regulus died a virgin, because he was crap at talking to girls. I just realized that my Regulus and Simon Tam have a LOT in common. He also dropped out of school after fifth year to become a Death Eater, with his parents' full approval. I wonder if Voldemort made them sign a permission slip.
5.) Regulus learned about Horcruxes through a book of Dark Magic that Rasputin had, since very few people in Britian seem to know about them. Come on, it makes TOTAL sense that Rasputin was a wizard who had a Horcrux, and that's why it was so hard to kill him!
6.) Caradoc Dearborn was not a young, gay stud, but an old, gray, chubby research wizard who worked with animals and had NO sense of personal space or boundries. And yes, he did do some observations on Remus, and there was going to be a paper, except Inferi generally get slammed in the reviewing process. He and Moody were best friends, which was an odd but fun combination.
7.) Moody never married, either. He was married to his work.
8.) Alice Longbottom was an incredibly powerful Auror who could kick Sirius's ass any time she so pleased, and was actually more powerful than Frank, although Frank kept his head better under pressure, which was why he was taken on before she was. She was very spunky and constantly took the piss out of Sirius, and he adored her with a brotherly passion. Frank, incidentally, was a very closeted bi, and Alice was never truly comfortable around Remus because she was vaguely aware that Frank had a bit of a thing for him, and vice versa.
9.) Sirius was actually shit as an Auror, in certain ways. He was smart enough and brave enough, but he was too emotional and impulsive.
10.) Remus and Alex became actual friends during the Lost Years, in a platonic but strong sense. It didn't happen until a few years after 1981, and unfortunately Alex died from AIDS. Remus was there with him when he died. He still misses Alex, but he's much more at peace with Alex's death than any other he knows of right now.
