where did these ideas about the marauders even come from like we know about 0.3% about them from the series

mistletoemarauders:

just a few reasons why sirius black and james potter were not ‘stupid’:

• successfully became animagi at 15
  
• was said to be the ‘cleverest students in the school’
  
• made a magical map that revealed most of the castles secrets
  
• sirius escaped what was supposed to be an inescapable prison and infiltrated a magical school three (3) times on his own
  
• james defied voldemort three (3) times and escaped alive
  
• sirius was incredibly skilled at non-verbal magic, a skill very difficult to master
  
• harry, who became one of the best quidditch players hogwarts has ever seen, inherited his talent from his father so obviously james was an incredibly talented chaser
  
• james’s reflexes and skill were fast enough to catch a snitch and make it his bitch
• sirius was able to stick muggle and magical posters on his wall and not even the wrath of walburga black could remove them
  
• he also charmed his muggle motorcycle so that it could fly etc. 
  
• james’s wand was said to be excellent for transfiguration, so obviously, he was skilled at the subject
  
• james was also so good, voldemort wanted him to join his death eater boy band
  

so sure, go ahead and tell me that james and sirius were dumb, i’ll just slap you in the face with this post *drops mic*

Everything from book 3 onwards only happened because Fudge was carrying the daily prophet in Azkaban the day it had a picture of scabbers in it
