I JUST FOUND OUT ABT GILDERAT HELPPPPPPPPP I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS A THING WHY DOES IT MAKE SENSE
brb chat im gonna go binge read gilderat fanficiton now
I think what I love about gilderat is how complex it could be. Imagine the marauders, absolutely despising gilderoy for how stuck up and stubborn he is (not Like there any different). But then there was Peter, less stuck up and stubborn than the other marauders and also absolutely obsessed with gilderoy. He never expressed these feeling to anyone and he was good at hiding it, until gilderoy was moved into Peter’s class because of reasons he was paying attention to. Slughorn paired gilderoy with Peter claiming “you will do better with him rather than mucking around with all your dumb friends,” so Peter reluctantly agreed.
Over the next year Peter would absolutely despise gilderoy for being smarter than him and absolutely despise how attractive he was. So when it was late and they were Together in the potions classroom, Peter was very ready to go back to his dorm and sleep. That was until gilderoy practically pounced on Peter, there lips interlocking and Peter didn’t complain. Instead gilderoys hand pulled frantically at Peter’s hair and Peter pulling on gilderoys waistint, wanting him closer.
And they kept it a secret, for a while atleast. But they never dated, atleast that was gilderoy said, and yes there was the whole cologne thing, Peter would ask but never get an answer. And yes Peter also asked why they couldn’t date, because he loved the sneaking around in broom closets and empty classroom, once even in the dorms at a gryffindor party. But gilderoy would play it into the fact that he was “straight”
So they kept it a secret, for a while atleast. That was until Peter had enough, he confessed how he actually felt about gilderoy and gilderoy never spoke to him again. James knew soemthing was wrong with Peter so that how the secret “got out” only to James of course and he never even made fun of Peter for it.
Gilderoy however, did like Peter. He was just scared that Peter was lying to him. Peter pettigrew the weird kid that was roped into the “popular crowd”, he must be secretly and arsehole waiting to put gilderoy to the entire school, or just using him for to get off.
In a letter sent to Peter after they graduated, it included the name of a perfume and an apology. Peter knew who it was from immediately, but he never accepted the apology
Chapter 19 of Jegulus Adventures
Pandora giggles from where she sat down beside Regulus on the couch. Then she goes silent, thinking, before she pulls out a vial. “Smell this will you?” She asks Peter. He looks confused but smells it without question.
“How did you get his cologne?” He asks incredulously.
Pandora holds up a finger, turning for Regulus. “Smell it?” She asks softly.
Regulus looks sceptical, but smells it anyway, it smells like the quidditch pitch, warmth, eukalyptus, fresh grass, a hint of wet dog or some animal. Regulus’ eyes open wide as he realises the vial did not hold a perfume or cologne of some type.
Regulus’ jaw dropped slightly, Pandora looked at him with a slight smirk. After Regulus got over the initial shock, he realised that Peter smelled Gilderoy Lockhart’s cologne. In the potion. Regulus' eyes widened once again, this time staring at Peter.
The room continued to be silent. A soft voice broke that, “Peter,” Pandora spoke. “It wasn’t cologne or perfume in the vial.”
“Then what was it?” He asked, his voice quiet and confused.
“It was amortentia.” Regulus whispered.
Peter squeaked, his eyes going instantly wide.
Peter yelling “I know the name of Lockhart’s cologne!” in class so the marauders know the answer to the question is false
gilderat and kittywater are two ships that I was not prepared for when I joined this fandom
