"I'm already from a controversial family, everyone's used to the Black family's... What do you call it Moons?" Sirius turned to Remus who was listening intently to Mary and Lily.
"Shit."
"Right, so to do a disgraceful act sounds impossible. And me being a 'Gryffindor' did not change people's perspective of our family. Since it's just a Europe thing." Sirius complained, if you ask the 1st year version of himself if he want to put dirt in their family name he would have glared and ignore you. Everything changed now that they're
"Then be gay." Mary stated like it was the most obvious answer, Lily nodded and Sirius blinked and frowned.
"H-How does being gay end my bloodline and bring more disgrace to my family?" Sirius asked, how loving someone change everything in his life.
Remus is suddenly laughing- why is he laughing?
"Well guys can't give birth." Lily said looking at Sirius weirdly and Sirius tilted his head and snorted.
"Muggle guys can't, Wizards can give birth." Sirius replied politely and the two girls gaped in unison that Remus and Sirius started laughing more.
"So guys here can... Where?" Mary asked leaning closer to the two boys.
"Open the stomach and connect the muscles and skin again." Sirius replied
"C-section huh?... So... You guys have vaginas?" Lily's too one to ask now.
"No, there's a specific process but it starts with a fertility potion and take the oocyte inside the ovary from the witch and transfer it to the testicles and the sperms will just fight to go inside it. Go to the stomach and..." Sirius stopped
' They probably k-no they don't even know wizards can give birth. Giving them normal information isn't insulting like how you know it Sirius. This isn't the ball-'
"Pads? Don't overthink whatever you think it's okay." Remus softly encouraged him grabbing his shoulder with his large hands. Sirius swears Remus makes every part of his body small--
"Right," Sirius snapped from his thoughts "Guys do you know witches and wizards magically hide their baby bumps? Since babies are sensitive to magic, as fetuses the parents unintentionally put them in a magical dome inside their body to get them used to magic and form magical veins effectively."
Lily shrugged "No we don't, thank you for explaining the information to us."
Mary nodded "Yeah, not in a 'because this is how it goes' way that makes us search for hours in the library to know why this is how it goes." Mary and Lily laugh holding hands and letting go.
Sirius sigh in relief "That's good, I don't want to offend you in a way." Remus held his knees making Sirius stop rubbing his knees nervously.
"They understand pads," Remus whispered and grinned at him which calmed Sirius down instantly.
"So wizards don't have to deal with periods and can give birth, so what's the point in bleeding and having cramps then? I mean there pain killer potions but that's not the point." It's Lily who is now complaining and leaning towards Mary who laughed at her and held her head.
"There are Male Hermaphrodites who suffer having to bleed through their arse Lily don't worry." Remus jokingly consoles Lily and Sirius laughed.
"Though there's a potion that permanently dissolves the period and does not affect the body, hormones will continue circling with magic. It will be talked in potions, 5th year I think since that is the only age where you are legal to drink them in Europe."
"What?" The girls then asked in unison and the two boys paused.
"About the potion?" Remus asked
"Well that too but also the first one... the Hermaphrodites?" Lily asked
Sirius nervously gulped, it will be harder to explain this one, Remus probably doesn't know much about th-
' No, just because Moons is a half-blood doesn't make him less knowledgeable.'
' But Mr. Lupin died who thought him how his mum?'
' MR. LUPIN HAS MONEY! AND THERE'S A PUBLIC LIBRARY IN A WIZARDING PLACES YOU NAIVE PREJUDICE-'
' Star... Princess~" Remus playfully sang his nickname and Sirius glared at him, though there was no malice in it. 'Not to that handsome face.'
He heard princesses are for Royalty or Little girls, his neither. Sirius smiled sarcastically "Yes freckles?" Remus's teasing smile dropped and rolled his eyes turning away from him dramatically. ' And they say he's the dramatic one.'
Remus hates his freckles, Sirius always wondered why, he thinks it's fun to count when bored, connecting it to form a constellation or shapes, and makes Remus...him?
Sirius watched Lily and Mary on the bookshelves in their room, which is far away from them so they thankfully didn't hear the playful nicknames.
"I found it!" Lily yelled and the two ran towards the couches where they are (2 couches facing each other where they make the map)
"HERMAPHRODITE
*A witch or wizard that can give birth and impregnate a female or person with a uterus and a testicle inside their body. They are born with one gender until they are 15 when their body will cool up and vomit a type of freezing flower at noon (which from then on will happen to their every birthday). And that flower will be used to make fertility potions for infertile or same-sex couples and transgender potions."
Lily paused and started tearing up, Sirius frantically stood and gave her his handkerchief. Mary took the book with an odd smile on her face like she was thankful for something right now.
"*It happens randomly, not by genetics; pure-blood, half-blood, and muggle-born can be one. And their physical body won't change like wizards won't have wider hips or witches won't have broad shoulders unless it's in their genetics. Also, they can't fuse their egg and sperm to have a child.
*They do have a prostate and g-spot which is beside each other to whatever the gender is." Mary finished

"WE'RE BACK FROM DETENTION!" James yelled slamming the door open
"What did we miss?" Peter asked them
"Minnie's unfair... Still not my fault." Marlene whispered pouting while closing the door.
"Life... Homophobia, racism and all." Lily said with a calm smile
"Cool what's that about?" James asked, sitting beside Sirius. Sirius put his arm around James and shrugged at him.
"No mate, this isn't 'cool', it's an aberration." Sirius declared and Mary laughed "Wizards can give birth Siri, if there's an aberration it's that."
"Just because muggle same-sex couples can't have children or the same genitals doesn't mean you have to think of the risk of rejection, discrimination, abuse, or even death!"
"What?!"
"Oh we haven't even gone to why religion has a big part in this." Lily muttered
"Prey we won't go to hell for being lesbian." Mary said
"Well we know where I'm going." Marlene joked and they laughed, Hell or Heaven isn't real. There's just an afterlife where souls go and rest.
"Religion is a belief, right? Like Christianity, Buddhism, some sort?" Peter asked and the two muggleborns nodded.
"Yeah and my Christian parents always said 'God created a man and a woman to be together' and that 'homosexuality is forbidden by God', they say it's a ratification to their claims." Mary bitterly laughed and Remus hugged her, James joined in.
"I'm fine," Mary muttered with a smile slowly pushing Remus away except for James.
"Mate..." Lily whispered and James let go
