http://mcity.livejournal.com/260258.htmlAfter what feels like several dozen jokes at the expense of Harry/Draco MPREG fics--I mean,
at least I mixed it up a little--it turns out that one canonical character was lovers with another.
Spoilers for an almost 12-year old book follow.
Canonically, the Potters changed their Secret-Keeper to Pettigrew at the last moment, told no-one, and he betrayed them. Everyone thought it was Sirius. Sirius went after Pettigrew and he blew up the entire street to escape, but IIRC, everyone thought that Pettigrew went after Sirius and got killed for it. Including Lupin. Harry deduces that Sirius went after Pettigrew after betraying the Potters because they used to be lovers.
You can't spend so much of your fic making fun of slashfics that say two characters are secretly gay, and then turn around and go "these two characters were secretly gay". There are plenty of other reasons for Sirius to try and kill Pettigrew, if that's what everyone believes and I remembered the book wrong, including plain ol'
stark raving madness. Or maybe Pettigrew "happened upon him by coincidence" while he was trying to escape and got angry.
Oh, and the Weasley family rat was tested after Bill Weasley got suspicious of it, very publicly. Turned out it was just a rat. Bill was treated and released. I have a sneaking suspicion that Harry's going to cleverly figure out what really happened at some point.
