Of Convenience

Chapter 4- The Party

Warnings: Cursing, SMUT, underage drinking, disco??, Remus after a full moon

It had been a month since you last spoke to Remus, you avoided him like the plague. You spent a week sleeping in Molly’s room before returning to your room. The day you ‘moved back’, you were stopped in the hallway by Sirius.

“Marlene said you haven’t been back to the dorm at all, where have you been sleeping?”

“Oh, all of a sudden Marlene cares?”

“Don’t talk about her like that,” He gritted his teeth.

“Whatever, Sirius. I’m fine, thanks for asking.”

Another month passed and other than that, no contact from any other Marauder except James. In the time it took for news to spread around that you and Remus hadn’t actually been dating, almost the whole school took sides. Jerkoff boys come to you every now and then asking if you could fake date them too. James, knowing exactly went down that night sided with you. While Peter, Sirius, Marlene, and Lily took Remus’s side. He would never do that. Molly was, of course, with you. Same with Arthur. But there was one student in particular who helped you more than anyone else.

Here you were again, in Slughorn’s potions class. You sat with Molly and another girl she introduced you to. Slughorn looked up from his desk and his eyes found yours.

“Y/l/n? You’re here… Early?”

“Yes sir, I’m trying not to get detention again,” He let out a small laugh and continued grading papers before class began. James came in, followed by Sirius and Peter. James walked up to you and lowered his voice into a whisper.

“Just… Be prepared, alright?”

You were confused… Prepared for what? “...Oh…” Remus came in, bruises littered his arms and in some spots on his neck. He had a cut on his eyebrow and his hand wrapped up in a bandage. “Oh my god…” He must have heard you because he looked right at you for a split second before sitting down with James and them. Your leg bounced the whole class period, waiting for the bell ring. Eventually, Slughorn passed out homework as the bell rang. Molly offered to wait for you but you told her she could go ahead. She nodded, understanding what you had to do. The Marauders waited outside the door for Remus as he packed up. You grabbed your bag and walked to him. You swallowed and took a deep breath. “...Hey.”

He looked up, surprised you were standing there talking to him. “Hi…?”

“Those look bad…”

“Yeah, I- Um- I fell down the stairs.”

You held your next classes’ books in your arms, “Are you okay? I mean, I know you fell down the stairs but-”

“Yeah, I get it, I’m- I’ll be fine.”

“Alright, well-”

“You trying to steal my boyfriend again, Y/l/n?”

You sighed. “Mary… No, I was just asking if he was ok-”

“Oh my god, Remy, are you okay??” She practically jumped on him and he winced. She turned to you, “You can leave,” You nodded and pursed your lips, walking away. “Oh, and Y/n?” You turned around. “Stay away from my boyfriend.”

“I don’t need your boyfriend.”

“Why’s that?”

“I have my own,” You gave her a smile.

“What?” She laughed, “Another phony relationship for you to get your feelings hurt?”

“Ready, babe?”

You grinned. You turned to your boyfriend, who was waiting by the doorway, sporting the black and green robes with pride. “Yeah, I am.” Lucius Malfoy grabbed your books from you and placed them under his arm, holding your hand with the other. “Feel better, Lupin…” You looked at him one last time to find him glaring at your hand, specifically the one holding Malfoy’s. You smiled to yourself and walked out of the classroom.

February 14th rolled around rather quickly, and apparently the Slytherins were throwing a huge party in the dungeon. You asked Lucius about it and he said it wasn’t for Valentine’s Day, they just wanted an excuse to drink. You half-believed him. The two of you were in your dorm, going over Flitwick’s Charms homework.

“Where’s your roommate?” Lucius said without looking up.

“Oh, um, I dunno. Probably off snogging Sirius in a dingy corner.”

He let out a small laugh, “We could be off snogging in a dingy corner.”

“Yes, but we have standards.”

He looked at you with a glint in his eye, “Do we?”

You tilted your head, “Do we?” You repeated.

It was so quick, the way Lucius tossed aside all the books and papers that were on the bed onto the floor and pounced on you. His lips met yours and butterflies erupted in your stomach. This wasn’t the first time you’ve kissed him but this? This was different. He bit your bottom lip and tugged on it lightly, you swallowed a moan.

“Don’t,” He pulled back, staring deep into your eyes. “I want to hear you.”

She clenched.

He leaned back down to kiss you again, this time, a lot slower. His left hand cupped your face while his right explored. “Can I touch you?” You couldn’t trust your voice to not crack if you spoke so you settled with a quick nod. He smiled at your reaction. “Eager, are we?”

You sighed, “Touch me.”

“Where?” He teased.

“Lucius-” He lightly hit your face.

He groped your chest hard. “Where do you want me to touch you?” You moaned at the action. “Use your words, or I stop.”

You shivered, not wanting him to stop. “Touch me… down there.”

He put his ear closer to you, “What was that, love? I couldn’t hear you.”

You groaned, which earned you another light hit. “I said… I want you to touch me down there.”

“Oh,” He smiled and placed his hand on top of your clothed pussy and began lightly rubbing. “Why didn’t you just say so?” The rubbing outside your shorts wasn’t enough. You moaned his name, “Yes, love?”

“Please.”

“Please, what? I thought I was touching you,” His hands traveled to the drawstring of your shorts. “Oh you mean… touch you…” His voice changed, it sounded deeper, raspier. He undid the knot with one hand, and slowly slithered his hand into your panties. He immediately found your clit, rubbing it in circles agonizingly slow. You groaned in frustration.

“Lock the door,” You panted. He took his hand out and flicked it at the door, you heard it click shut. He dived back into your shorts and started rubbing again. “Fuck, Lucius,” He switched to circling your clit with his thumb as he slowly placed a single finger inside you. You moaned at the sensation.

“Gotta loosen you up, yeah?” His lips slammed onto yours. You ran your fingers in his wavy blond hair and he moaned into your mouth.

“Oh,” You smiled, “You like that?”

“Shut up,” He shoved a second finger in and you arched your back at the slight adjustment. He moved his fingers in and out for a while before adding a third. “You’re so…” He took his hand out again, but this time, he brought it to his mouth. One by one, he sucked his fingers all the while he stared into your eyes. “...Tasty,” Your mouth opened and he quickly stuck his fingers in them. “Suck.”

You closed your mouth and did as you were told. You tasted a mix of yourself and his mouth. You hummed and he removed his fingers,

“You want to say some-”

“I want you to-” He wrapped a hand around your throat, lightly squeezing his fingertips.

“That was rude.”

“I’m sorry,” You panted.

“Good girl.”

She clenched again.

“Now,” He went up to your ear, whispering. “What do you want me to do?” He released some of the pressure on your neck.

“Stop teasing, please.”

He hummed. Lucius sat up, and for a split second you thought he was leaving but then he swung his leg over yours and yanked down your shorts and panties simultaneously. You bent your knees so that he could fully remove them. Once he did, he tossed them over his shoulder, it hit the floor softly. “Open.”

You slowly split open your legs, but apparently you were going too slow because he grabbed your calves and forced them open. The cool air hit your pussy and you shivered. Lucius dipped his head a little, “Up,” He rasped. You lifted the bottom half of your body, but again, Lucius wanted to establish that he was the one in charge. He lifted your legs onto his shoulders. He smirked at you before diving in. The first lick from your hole to your clit was excruciatingly slow. You moaned, loud. He chuckled and the vibrations were sent straight to your core.

“Oh fuck.”

He licked another stripe.

“Luciu-”

Another.

“Don’t stop…” You fondled your clothed chest. “Please don’t stop.”

Lucius stuck his tongue into your hole, fucking you with it. He retracted his tongue and inserted two fingers as he suckled on your clit. You used your legs to lift yourself even higher, slowly riding his face. The pit in your stomach started to grow.

“I-I’m gonna cum.”

“Do it,” He licked. “Cum on my face.”

And so you did. You gripped the sheets as you came. Lucius continued lapping at your pussy, wanting all of it. When he was done, he took your legs off his shoulders and placed them on either side of him. He cupped your face again and kissed you. You could taste yourself on his tongue. He sat up once again to unbuckle his pants but you decided to do it for him- you sat up and began working at the belt.

“Take off your shirt.”

You looked up at him and followed orders. You were about to fiddle with the belt again when he spoke once more.

“Bra too.”

You smiled, reaching behind you to unclip the undergarment. You slipped it off and tossed it aside. Now, completely bare before him, you undid the belt and unbuttoned his jeans. He got off of the bed to take off his pants and drawers. To say he was big was an understatement. Lucius then yanked his shirt off and tossed it on the ground.

“You’re staring,” He smirked at you. You got up and pushed him back onto the bed. He adjusted himself so that his upper body was against the headboard. You laid in between his legs, pumping his thick cock. Precum dripped from the tip and you licked it up. The back of his head hit the headboard. “Don’t play with me, Y/n,” Lucius groaned.

“Do you not like being teased?”

He glared down at you as you licked from the base to the tip.

“Suck.”

“Suck what?” You jerked him off.

“Y/n. Stop.”

You stopped moving your hand, “Stop?”

“Suck me off,” His chest moved up and down, waiting for you to please him. You licked another stripe before taking the head in your mouth. “Oh, fuck…” Your tongue swirled around it as you sucked him. “Y/-” You took him as deep as you could without gagging, using your hands to twist and jerk off what you couldn’t reach with your throat. “Oh shit, keep going- Just like that,” The tenacity of the grip in which Lucius had on the bed post was enough to make the mahogany wood snap in half. He grabbed the back of your neck, trying to force you down more. You held your breath and took him deeper. You gagged. “Just like that,” He let go of you and you took him out, taking a deep breath. “Choke on my cock.”

You went back down, sucking him hard, hollowing your cheeks.

“Jesus- fuck-”

It wasn’t until you started fondling his balls did he stop you, “Stop- Stop, I’m gonna cum-”

You kept going.

“Y/n, I said stop,” You looked up at him and took him out of your mouth. “I want you.”

Your heart pounded, you knew this was coming, and you were ready.

“Is that okay with y-”

“Yes.”

He smiled, “You sure?”

“I want you, Lucius.”

He kissed you sloppily, “I want you, too.”

Lucius grinned, “Turn around.”

“Yes sir,” You flipped on your stomach. You waited a few moments before turning your head to see what he was waiting for. His knuckles were white, and his cock stood straight.

“Say that again.”

You cleared your throat, “Yes sir.”

He groaned. With one hand he held onto your waist while the other lined his cock with your entrance. “Are you ready? I’m gonna go slow, okay? I don’t want to hurt you… Not too much at least,” He playfully bit your shoulder. You were wet enough for the head of his cock to slip into you no problem. It wasn’t until Lucius started pushing the rest in did it start to hurt. You winced and he stopped. “Hey, hey, it’s okay- just tell me when, okay?”

You nodded. It took a minute for the pain to go away, “Okay, keep going.”

“Okay, nice and slow…” He continued to push himself in until the base touched your ass. “Tell me when again, okay?”

“Y-Yeah…” His full length took a little longer to adjust to, but once you did, you wanted more. “Lucius?” You turned your head to see him through your peripheral.

“Yeah?” He lightly panted.

“Fuck me,” He smiled, putting both his hands on your waist, and began moving in and out. Slowly at first, but soon it became too much for either of you. “Please… Faster.”

“You want me to go faster?”

“Yes sir, please,” He swallowed and completely exited you, “Luci-” He slammed back into you. “Oh fuck!” That’s how it was, slow but hard. Every time he slammed into you, you moaned at the sensation. “Just like that, you’re hitting it, just keep going.”

He smiled and reached for your shoulders, pulling you against his bare chest. One of his hands wrapped around your throat while the other remained on your waist. He fucked you like that and you couldn’t help but feel that pit in your stomach again.

“I’m almost there-” He sucked on your neck.

“So am-”

A knock at the door. Lucius removed his hand from your throat as your heads shot to the door.

“Y/n, it’s Marlene. Open the door.”

Shit. “C-Comin’!”

“I know you are,” He whispered as he slid out of you.

“Asshole.”

“Y/n!” Marlene knocked again. “Let’s go!”

“I said I’m coming!” You pulled back on your panties and shorts. Lucius threw your bra at you and you caught it. He pulled up his briefs and jeans simultaneously, you tossed him his shirt and he quickly slid under your bed.

“Alohamora!” The door slammed open.

“Oh my god!” You turned your bare back on her as you clipped back on your bra. “God, Marlene!” You bent down and picked up your shirt and slipped it on. As you popped your head through the neck hole you turned around to see not only Marlene, but Sirius, James, Peter, Lily, and Remus. Peter and Lily had the decency to cover their eyes but no one else did because their jaws were slacked.

“Were you… Were you naked?” Marlene asked you.

“Yes. I sleep naked.”

“That’s a lie.”

“You go to sleep before me, I simply wait until you’re passed out.”

“I doubt that.”

“You were sleeping? I thought Lucius was here helping you with homework?” She interrogated.

“He was…” You tried to reason. “He… Left and I got hot so I undressed myself- I don’t need to explain myself to you.”

“He left?”

“Yes.”

“Did the heat also leave a hickey on your neck?” Sirius teased. Lily smacked his arm.

Your hand flew to the bruise, “So, we made out.”

“If he left,” Marlene raised an eyebrow. “Then he’s probably with that girl who’s been ogling him… What’s her name? Oh yeah, Narcissa.”

You heard a loud bang from under your bed, “You fucking bit-” They all looked under the bed, Lucius smiled at them. “Hello there.”

“Oh my god,” Remus ran a hand down his face. “Just say things got heated so we can leave.”

Lucius crawled out from under the bed and put on his infamous leather jacket, “Things got more than heated, mate.”

“What do you mean?” James asked, looking at him.

“Lucius-” You tried to stop him.

“I mean, we were in the middle-” You slapped a hand over his mouth, promptly shutting him up.

“He’s kidding. Anyway, I gotta get dressed,” You pulled out your outfit from your dresser and showed it to the group. “Look how cute.”

“Aw! It’s gonna look so good on you!” Lily grinned.

“I’m excited, and Lucius has a matching set!” The smile on your face could light up a room and everyone took notice.

“Yeah, yeah,” Lucius threw his arm around your shoulders. “God, you’re so conceited,” He smiled.

You laughed and playfully smacked his chest, “Whatever. Let’s go,” You grabbed your makeup bag and handed Lucius your outfit. As you left, you turned to face the group inside your shared dorm, “See you there!”

“You almost done?” Your boyfriend inquired as he buttoned up the last of his shirt.

“Almost…” You applied mascara to your eyelashes and did some last minute touches to your hair. You sat on his bed, bending down to put your white leather boots on, they stopped just under your knees. You stood up and wobbled a bit, trying to get used to the new height.

“You okay?” He chuckled.

“I’m good, just gotta get used to them.”

“...You look stunning,” You grinned at the compliment. Looking down at your outfit, you liked how it fit you. It was an off the shoulder dress, and the sleeves were fit up until an inch or two past your elbows, which is when they flared out. The length of the dress went till mid-thigh. And the color was gorgeous, it complimented your skin tone perfectly. There were flowers scattered all over the fabric, their color different variations of the original. You did a twirl and the dress fanned out. Lucius smiled and grabbed your waist, pulling you to him. He pressed his lips against yours. Wrapping your arms around his neck, he kissed you deeper and dipped you. You laughed into the kiss and he pulled you back up.

“You look good,” The pattern of his button down matched the one on your dress. He wore black slacks and equally black loafers.

“Just good?” He smirked.

“You look… handsome… dapper… smooth…”

“Alright,” He draped an arm around you and led you out of the dorm, grabbing his jacket before leaving.

“...Clean-cut…. suave…”

“I like suave.”

You laughed, throwing your head back. “You would like ‘suave’.”

Due to Lucius being a Slytherin, his dorm was already in the dungeon, so it didn’t take long for you to reach the common area. The two of you turned the corner and you could feel the bass of the music in your chest. Lucius continued to lead you through the crowd, holding tightly onto you, until you got to a quieter corner. You had to yell in order to hear one another.

“When’d you guys have the time to do this?!”

He smiled, “You’d be surprised how many oddly specific spells there are!” You looked towards the ceiling, strobe lights faced a disco ball in the middle of the common room.

There was a DJ, one of the students of course, but a DJ nonetheless. He had to at least have taken a class or something because he was playing mostly muggle music. You recognized a majority of the songs that were playing, nodding along as Lucius’s arm was draped against the back of your seat on the couch.

“You know this song!?” Lucius looked at you, the different colored lights shone, making him look ethereal.

“I take a Muggle Studies class, remember? We did a whole semester on muggle music and I fell in love!” He smiled at you. “Oh my Godric,” You gasped, recognizing the song that boomed from the speakers. You stood up and began singing.

Oh, girl, I've known you very well

I've seen you growing every day

I never really looked before

But now you take my breath away

Lucius watched you lovingly as you belted out the lyrics to a pretend microphone. “I think I love you.”

Suddenly you're in my life

Part of everything I do

You got me working day and night

Just trying to keep a hold on you

“Did you say something?!” You bent down to hear him.

“No!” He shook his head. “Nothing at all!”

“Oh… Okay!” You continued singing to him. “More than a woman!... More than a woman to me!”

Eventually the song faded out and was replaced with another Bee Gees song- “You Should Be Dancing”.

“Oh, Lucius, you have to dance with me!”

He shook his head, “No, no. I’m still settling in! Go dance without me! I’ll watch and join later!”

“Are you sure!?”

“Yeah- Go! Go have fun!” You nodded and kissed his cheek. When you reached the dancefloor, a crowd surrounded one man, dancing on his own.

“Oh my God.”

“James?!”

He must have heard you, though you don’t know how over the roar of the crowd, but he looked right at you and grinned. He danced his way to you and took your hands in his.

“No, no, no! James!”

He ignored your pleas and dragged you into the center. Everyone watched expectantly.

“James… I can’t dance!”

“Just follow my lead!” The music transitioned into Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind & Fire. James would do a move and you’d follow to the best of your abilities. You both laughed at the other. There was no coordination at all, but you were pretty sure nobody really cared.

Malfoy’s eyes flickered to the crowd, quickly looking for you, before returning back to his conversation with Severus.

When he didn’t see you, he stopped talking to the person next to him and focused his attention on the crowd.

When he still couldn’t find you, his heart rate sped up, fearing the worst. He quickly stood up and maneuvered his way through the mass, yelling for you. He felt a hand on his shoulder and quickly turned around. He had to look down to be eye to eye with the girl.

“Lily, right?”

“Yeah,” She half smiled. “You’re looking for Y/n, right?”

“Yeah, do you know where she is?”

She pointed deeper into the crowd, he followed her gaze to see you dancing in the center... Along with James.

All the love in the world can't be gone

All the need to be loved can't be wrong

All the records are playing and my heart keeps saying

"Boogie wonderland, wonderland"

Dance, boogie wonderland

You paid attention only to your dance partner, you’d worry about everything else later. James ended the dance by dipping you.

The song finished and the people surrounding you guys started closing in, cheering. You looked at James to find him already staring at you.

“That was amazing!” You yelled.

“I know! Thank you for being my dance partner!”

“Anytime!!” You felt someone grab your wrist, “Oh, hey Lucius!”

“Hey, you were great!” He hid his jealousy. “Want somethin’ to drink?”

“That’d be amazing, actually!”

“C’mon,” He led you to the makeshift bar, getting a butterbeer for you and then himself. The music was a lot quieter where you were at, you didn’t have to scream if you wanted to say something. “D’ you have fun?”

“Oh, loads!” You took a sip from the bottle. “Wish you were dancing with me though,” Another swig. “It was so much fun.”

Lucius felt bad for getting jealous when you were here saying you had wanted him instead. He held his tongue from saying anything snarky. “I don’t dance.”

“Neither can I! Yet, I, so bravely-” Lucius tried to pay attention to you, but he felt uneasy. Like someone was watching the two of you. He nodded his head to your words, making it seem like he was listening. He quickly looked behind him, then the crowd, then behind you… And there he was. It wasn’t subtle the way Remus was glaring at him. That jealousy turned in him again.

“-be? Babe!”

His attention was back on you, “I’m sorry, what?”

“I asked if you were okay… But you were looking be-” You started turning your head to see what he was looking at but he stopped you by cupping your face. “What are you-?” He kissed you. Hard. Just as he was about to tilt his head to deepen it, you pulled away. “Shit, if that’s what it takes to shut me up, I’ll gladly keep talking.”

He smiled, ignoring Remus, and took your hand. “C’mon.”

“Where are we going?” You stood up, following him.

He smirked, “You wanted to dance, didn’t you?”

Of Convenience

Chapter 3- Tension

Warnings: Cursing, arguing,

This was the infamous Mary MacDonald? You shook her hand, “I’m Y/n.”

“Oh… You’re… Remus’s girlfriend,” She looked a little taken aback.

“Yeah, I am,” You looked at the boy beside you to see his cheeks flushed as he looked anywhere but you.

“It’s a… Pleasure to meet you.”

“Likewise.”

The tension was thick. And it was awkward. “I invited her,” You looked over to Marlene smirking at you.

“Oh…” You knew what she was playing at. “That was nice.”

She hummed in response. Apparently it was too awkward for James because he suddenly started laughing. Everyone looked at him and he stopped.

Remus cleared his throat, “So-”

“Have you guys been dating long?” Mary asked you.

“Two months… Gonna be three on the third of January.”

“Ah…” She took a sip from the mug, “Do you see it lasting?” Sirius started choking.

“Excuse me?��

“That was rude, I’m sorry.”

“Yeah, it was,” You felt Remus tap your hand, you looked at him and he mouthed ‘relax’. You looked incredulous. You scoffed and got up from your seat, “I’ll be back.”

“Where are you going?” Lily asked.

“To get a drink.”

“What can I get ya?” The girl behind the bar asked.

“Can I get a butterbeer?”

She sucked her teeth, “I’m gonna have to see some ID.”

“Can I get water then?”

“Comin’ right up,” She turned her back to you as she got a glass. You watched from the corner of your eye as someone sat down next to you.

“You okay?”

Lily. “Yeah, I’m good.”

“You comin’ back to the table?”

“Yeah,” You sighed. “I’ll be right there,” She placed a hand on your shoulder before leaving. The bartender placed the water in front of you and you thanked her. Two minutes later, the seat next to you was once again occupied, “Lily, I’m coming now.”

“Who’s Lily?”

You looked at the man who took the seat, “Oh, I’m sorry, I thought you were a friend of mine,” Unbeknownst to you, a pair of eyes watched you from the table you previously sat at.

“It’s all good,” He smirked. “I like that jacket on you, you look good.”

“Thanks, it’s my boyfriends,” You got up and turned to head back to the table. His hand grabbed your arm, pulling you back.

“C’mon, stay a little longer. We were just talking.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m not interested,” You swallowed, suddenly feeling hot. “Please let go.”

“Sit down, and we’ll talk.”

You tried yanking your arm back but his grip was strong. “I believe she said to let her go, mate,” You looked up relief to find the eyes of

“James,” You let out a breath.

“What are you her boyfriend?”

James straightened his back, towering over the man who held your arm. “You wanna test your luck?” The man reluctantly let go of your arm and stalked away.

“Thank you,” James swung his arm over your shoulder, tucking you into him.

“No need to thank me, love,” You looked at the table to see Mary in your seat talking to Remus. You had to remind yourself that you were in this ‘relationship’ to get them together. You swallowed your pride and stepped away from James’s embrace.

“Here,” You said, shrugging off Remus’s jacket. “Give this to Remus, will you?”

James looked confused, “Why not give it to him yourself?”

“I just remembered I have, erm,” You thought of an excuse. “Potions homework due tomorrow,” He reluctantly took the jacket.

“Y/n,” He called.

“Yeah?”

“Tomorrow’s Sunday.”

“...Goodnight James,” You feigned a smile. “Tell everyone I’m terribly sorry for leaving early.”

“Wait-”

You left the Three Broomsticks with a heavy heart. When you reached the castle, you heard someone call your name.

“Rem?-”

“Y/n!!”

“Oh!” You rushed over to help the fallen James. “Are you alright?”

He pushed up his glasses, “Peachy,” You extended your hand and he took it. “Thank you,” You pulled him up.

“Why aren’t you with-”

“I see how you look at Mooney.”

“And how is it I look at him?”

“Like you like him.”

You looked at him, “Well, he is my boyfriend…”

“No, he’s not.”

Your heart pounded against your chest. “What are you talking about?”

“Mooney isn’t your boyfriend.”

“Yes he i-”

“Stop, now you’re just lying to yourself… Come, follow me…”’

James took you to the astronomy tower, there was a chill in the air when you reached the top. He sat down on the second to last step and you did the same.

“He told us…”

“When?”

“Maybe, two days ago?” You purse your lips, nodding.

“He makes me look like a fool.”

“Not on purpose,” You gave him a look. “Sorry… Listen… Mooney? He’s a good guy. But, he can be the most oblivious bloke there is.”

You rested your head in your hand, “If you’re implying that I fancy Remus, you’re wrong… I’m just helping a friend with a favor.”

James didn’t respond. Instead, he tapped his shoulder, you took the hint and rested your head against him. You don’t know how long the two of you held that position, but eventually your eyes began to drift shut. The sound of someone walking up the stairs behind you got you to sit up. You don’t know what you expected, but Remus holding Mary’s hand while they giggled like school girls was not one of them.

“Mooney you idiot…”

“What the hell?” You stood up.

“Yeah, what the hell?” Remus looked between you and James.

“Yikes, your girlfriend is sleeping with your best friend?” Mary glared at you.

You and Remus looked at the girl, simultaneously yelling “Stay out of this!”

“What are you doing here?” You raised your voice.

“What am I doing here? What are you doing here?” He raised his voice in response.

“Apparently sleeping with your best friend,” You laughed out of spite.

“Don’t fuck around with me right now, Y/n,” He pointed at James. “Have you been seeing him behind my back?”

“Listen to what you’re saying right now, Rem.”

“Answer the question!”

“NO! Of course not! The fact that you even think I did-”

“What? Did I hurt your feelings?”

You sucked in a breath, swallowing a sob. You refused to let him see you cry, “Fuck you.”

“Mate, you need to calm down,” James suggested.

“Oh, you’re one to talk, mate.”

“He didn’t do anything, Remus!”

“Oh, you would defend him,” He narrowed his eyes. He spoke in such a condescending tone you almost felt guilty though you did nothing. He made you feel inferior.

“And that means what, exactly?... What does that mean, Remus?? You’re right, I would defend someone that quite literally has nothing to do with this… You still haven’t answered my question-”

“Which is what?”

“Why are you up here?”

He grabbed Mary’s hand, “What does it look like?”

“I-”

“Why are you getting your feelings hurt??? We’re not actually together-” His hand flew to his mouth as Mary gasped.

“You guys were faking it?” Mary looked at you and laughed, “And you caught feelings??”

“I did not,” You defended yourself. “I got my feelings hurt because you,” You looked at Remus. “Are acting like a complete douche, and you think that by being an asshole makes you look so tough.”

“It makes me look so tough,” He turned away from you.

“Yeah. But it doesn’t, because you just end up looking like a dick.”

He turned back to you, “You done?... I have a guest.”

You scoffed, tears welling up in your eyes, “You disgust me,” You pushed your way through Remus and Mary. James followed you as you ran down the winding stairs. He called out your name, “Leave me alone, James!”

He decided to leave you be. You ran until your legs burned. You couldn’t go to your dorm, Marlene would just torment you. You thought and thought of somewhere you could go, and then it hit you… Molly Prewett. She might be with her boyfriend, Arthur Weasley, but she was the only one who could help you right now.

You knocked on the Gryffindor's dorm door.

“One second!... Arthur stop... Comin’!” Molly opened the door with a smile, that is until she saw you. “Y/n? Dear, what happened?” She grabbed your bare arms, pulling you into the room. “You’re freezing!” She sat you down on what you assumed was her bed. “Arthur, go get some tea.”

“But-” Molly turned to him and gave him a stern look, “Yes, dear…” The both of you watched him leave, and it wasn’t until he fully closed the door did she turn back to you.

“What happened?” She wrapped a blanket around you before getting on her knees and holding your hands in her warm ones. Just thinking about it, you teared up and your blood boiled.

“Remus...Remus Lupin happened,” And so you explained everything to her. From the moment you met in the beginning of the year, to Alaric, to Lupin’s proposition. You didn’t want to cry when you spoke about what happened in the astronomy tower, but you did. She sat beside you on the bed, soothing you as you got everything off of your chest. “I think I liked him. But after tonight?” You sniffled, “I don’t know what to think.”

“You don’t have to think… Not tonight. Sleep here, okay?” You nodded, your body suddenly feeling weak. “I’ll tell you what you need to hear in the morning…”

“Thank you, Molly,” You laid back and she covered you. You closed your eyes, the last thing you heard was Arthur coming in with the tea.

“Aw, I went down there for nothing.”

Of Convenience

Chapter 2- Mary MacDonald

Warnings: Cursing

Sitting on top of your comforter, you finished up your Charms homework before having to go to breakfast to meet with Remus.

“Y’know,” Your roommate, Marlene McKinnon, began as she buttoned her dress shirt. “I thought he was going to ask out Mary MacDonald.”

You signed your homework, “Who?”

“Your boyfriend,” You perked up. “I thought he was going to ask out Mary, guess not,” She pulled up her skirt.

You looked at her, raising an eyebrow. “Why do you say that?”

“Sirius told me. He said the other day that Remus couldn’t stop talking about this one girl but he wouldn’t say her name, Sirius assumed it was MacDonald because one night while they were drunk, Remus had confessed to liking the girl. But I guess he was wrong.”

“When was this?” Your heart rate sped up a bit.

“Maybe a week ago?” She slipped in her robes, and placed her flats on. She pulled her hair out, letting it fall past her shoulders in beach waves. “I’m just looking out for you.”

You hesitated before speaking. “You and Sirius close?”

“You could say that,” She smirked. “It’s only a matter of time before he calls me his girlfriend. But going back to you, just be careful, yeah?”

“Yeah, thanks Marly.”

She said nothing else and left you alone with your thoughts. Could Remus be using you to get Mary jealous? He is the one who brought up fake dating in the first place… And he was rather quick to jump to your defense. You shook your head, your anxiety getting the best of you. You decided to confront- well not confront, but certainly talk to Remus about the information your roommate oh so kindly decided to drop on you. d cd You packed up your work and quickly got dressed for the day.

You scanned the cafeteria, looking for your lover. Apparently he saw you looking for him because he began waving you over. You sat down and grabbed a plate, serving yourself breakfast, your conversation with Marlene still fresh in your mind.

“Moony,” Sirius grabbed his attention. “You’re sat here, when you should’ve gone to pick up Y/n-”

“It’s okay-”

“It completely slipped my mind, Y/n, I’m sorry-” Remus looked at you apologetically.

“Rem, it’s fine, really,” You grabbed his hand. “I was finishing up some homework anyway.”

Everyone went back to their conversations, but Remus’s eyes remained on you. He tugged your hand a little bit, “Hey, you okay?”

You got closer to him, lowering your voice into a whisper. “We need to talk.”

“Oh gross,” James pretended to gag. “They’re being domestic.”

“Oh, piss off,” Remus defended. He turned back to you and gave you a look, a look that made you think he knew exactly what you wanted to talk about. “C’mon.”

“Where?” He got up and offered his hand.

“Somewhere we can talk.”

“Yeah, talk,” Sirius teased. Remus flipped them off and the boys started hollering, drawing the attention of the surrounding students.

Remus led you by the hand into the poetry, last names A-L, section of the library. He let go and turned to you, leaning against the wall. “What’s up?”

You looked behind you and then back at him, “Do you like Mary MacDonald?”

“I-I mean sure, she’s a sweet enough girl-”

“Remus, do you fancy her?”

He stared at your feet, avoiding eye contact. “...I like your shoes…”

“God, Remus!”

“Shhh!”

You lowered your voice, but kept it stern. “Why didn’t you tell me??”

“I don’t know, I just thought because you needed help you might agree to help me-”

“Is that why you defended me?? So I’d agree to help get another girl jealous???”

“Yes. Wait- No-”

“Oh great, thanks a lot, Remus,” You turned away, walking out of the section. “The nerve-” He pulled you back in between the bookshelves.

“Please don’t go, let me explain,” He looked you in the eyes, and as much as you wanted to leave, you couldn’t. Not when he was looking at you like that.

“You have 30 seconds.”

He sighed in relief. “Yes, I fancy Mary. But no, I did not help you with the intention of expecting something in return. I helped you out because you were already having a bad enough day with Slughorn-”

You scoffed, “‘Cause pity makes me feel so much better.”

“Wait- no- listen. You were having a bad day and yeah, I felt bad, but I’ve seen you before.”

“...What the hell does that mean?”

“It means, I’ve watched you. Not in a creepy way, but in an admiration way? You help people without expecting anything in return. Whether it be people who don’t deserve it or even it’s just explaining the lesson in a different way so that someone could understand it better. You’re a good person. A good person having a bad day and I just so happened to be there… And I’m sorry if I made you think I was taking advantage of you, those weren’t my intentions. I just hope you’ll forgive me.”

You swallowed, “And if I were to forgive you?”

“I’d be eternally grateful.”

“But you’d still ask me for help…”

“No.”

There was something in his eyes that made you feel he was telling the truth. You sighed deeply, finalizing your decision. “I’ll help you,” He smiled. “But on a few conditions.”

“Of course, fire away.”

“One, don’t lie to me; there’s no point, and it’s stupid. Two, communicate with me. We aren’t actually dating but we have to act like it. Three, you take me to Hogsmeade this weekend.”

“Don’t you have detention this weekend?”

“Damn it, you’re right. I guess you’ll just have to take me the weekend after,” Remus visibly stiffened.

“U-Um no, it’s okay, we’ll go this weekend, I’m kinda busy the weekend after. I think I can figure something to get you out. C’mon, let’s get you to class.”

“Yessir.”

“By the way, how’d you find out about Mary?” He asked as he took your hand in his, walking out of the library.

“My roommate, Marlene McKinnon.”

Eventually the weekend rolled around and you stood in front of the blackboard in Slughorn’s class, writing out ‘I will not be late to class’ 100 times. You were on number 59 when a knock rapped at the door.

“Come in!” Slughorn yelled, not looking up from grading papers.

“Professor Slughorn,” McGonagall came in, in an all black robe covering her shoulders down to her feet. She surprisingly wasn’t wearing her hat.

“Oh, Professor McGonagall,” Slughorn stood up out of respect. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”

“I was wondering if I could borrow Miss Y/l/n,” Your heart rate sped up, what could McGonagall possibly want with you?

“Whatever for, if I may ask?”

“...No… Let us go, Y/n.”

You turned to Slughorn, “Goodbye, professor,” He said nothing. You stepped out of the classroom, walking a step ahead of her. “Professor, if I may, what is-” You were pulled by your arm into a secluded section of the hallway. She stood in front of you, staring into your eyes. “Professor…?... Are you okay?” She said nothing, but the strangest thing happened- She grew- at least 4 inches. Her face morphing into one that you recognized. “Sirius?!” His hand slapped over your mouth.

“Shh!” The hand over your mouth slowly released you.

“You used a polyjuice potion?” You whisper-yelled. “Doesn’t that take like a month to brew??”

“We made a big batch a while ago, not the point- The point is we’ve come to get you out.”

“We?” You heard a throat being cleared, and you both looked to see Remus, James, and Peter standing at the end of the hallway. You suddenly realized the close proximity to Black and took a step back. “Oh uh, wow, this is not what it looks like.”

“We know,” James smirked. Remus grabbed your arm, stringing you along behind him.

“Rem, my arm,” He stopped walking and turned to you.

“M’ sorry.”

“It’s alright. Hey, thank you, for getting me out.”

“Tuh,” Sirius passed you guys. “Because I wasn’t there, right?”

“Thank you, Sirius!”

“Yeah, yeah.”

You turned back to Remus, grabbing his hand and squeezing it lightly. “C’mon,” You pulled him, “Let’s get out of here.”

“Ugh, get a room!”

A blanket of snow covered the floor and the roofs of the different shops. You and Remus walked side by side, holding hands, a few meters away from the rest of his friend group.

“Y’know, that was really sweet.”

“What was?”

“The whole ‘getting me out of detention’ thing. It was sweet,” You weren’t sure if it was the cold or the compliment, but his cheeks and the tips of his ears turned pink.

“I-”

“Oi! Lovebirds!” James called. The two of you looked ahead to see his glasses fogged and him waving you over. The boy stepped inside, leaving you and Remus out in the cold. You shivered, not having a jacket because you thought you were going to be writing on a chalkboard inside the castle all weekend.

“Oh, hey...” Remus seemed to have noticed your freezing state because he shrugged off his jacket and handed it to you

“No, I can’t-”

“I insist,” He smiled. “We’re about to go inside anyway,” You smiled back and took the jacket, inserting your arms in the sleeves. It was warm, and it smelled like old books, tea, and oddly enough… chocolate. “You okay?” He held your hand once again.

You smiled at the contact, “Yeah, I’m good.”

The Three Broomsticks was lively to say the least. You could barely hear yourself think. You were about to ask Remus where you should sit when hands waving in the distance caught your eye. You pointed them out at Remus and he led you through the crowded pub. The corner that the boys chose was a lot quieter but was still relatively loud. As you sat down next to Remus, you noticed that on the far end of the table was Marlene. She took a sip of her drink, maintaining eye contact. You cleared your throat and took a seat. You sat across from James, Remus across from Peter, and Lily across from Sirius. There was one seat empty, at your end of the table. As you wondered who could possibly be occupying the seat, a girl walked over with a tray of butterbeers. She handed one to everyone, including Remus, except you.

“Oh, darn, I’m sorry,” She apologized. “I didn’t realize someone else was coming.”

“...But you got one for Remus,” You looked around and saw everyone had a drink in front of them. You expected someone to help you out, but no one did.

“Do you want mine?” She offered.

“No, it’s okay,” You quickly smiled.

She smiled back and sat down, taking a sip of her butterbeer. “Oh, silly me,” She extended her hand, “I didn’t introduce myself- I’m Mary MacDonald.”

Of Convenience

Chapter 1- Potions

Warnings: Cursing

Slughorn’s potions class was difficult to say the least. Sure you were at the top of nearly all your classes, but potions thoroughly kicked your ass. It’s possible you’d get the content if you’d show up on time. Like now- you ran through the long halls, trying to get to class before Slughorn locks the door. He was known for locking doors after the first 10 minutes of class, ‘If you can’t show up to class on time, you shouldn’t come at all.’ Your shoulder bag continued to hit your back as you ran, just turn one more corner and-

“Ah, Miss Y/n, thank you for gracing us with your presence,” He feigned a smile. “You are late… again,” He looked down at you from the doorway. “I have half a mind to close this door, if you can give me a reason why I shouldn’t, I’ll let you in and rip up this detention slip I have here,” He held up the parchment.

“Professor, please, you have to understand- I have Charms before this class, and that’s on the other side of the school-”

“I know the layout of the school, Y/l/n. I asked for a reason, not an excuse.”

“Professor Slughorn-”

“You may come in, but you have detention this weekend-”

“I-”

“Would you like it to be the weekend after, too?”

You bit your tongue, “No.”

“Come in quickly and quietly.”

You said nothing and walked in, keeping your head low, knowing everyone was most likely looking at you. You looked up to find a seat to see that one of two spots were open- One next to Alaric, who was smirking at you, or Remus, one of the so called ‘Marauders’. You chose the latter, passing Alaric who just scoffed. “Is this seat taken?” The boy looked up at you, his eyes meeting yours.

“Uh, no, you can take it.”

“Thank you,” You quickly sat down as Slughorn began the lesson for the day. He went to talk about the potion the class would be attempting. You had zoned out, overthinking the interaction you had had with Slughorn only a short while ago.

“Y/l/n,” Your head shot up, “Can you tell me what potion we are making today?” You swallowed, looking at the board behind him for help.

“Draught of Peace…?”

“Correct,” He shuffled in front of the board, blocking the words written. “And can you possibly tell me, of the five ingredients needed for this potion, which of the five are not powdered?”

‘Fuck,’ Just as you were about to give up, you felt a tap on your elbow. You subtly looked down to see a slip of paper… ‘syrup of hellebore and valerian root’ was just barely legible. “Um, is it Valerian Root?”

“And?”

“And…” You looked at the paper once more, “Syrup of Hellebore,” He seemed satisfied with your answer and turned back to the board, announcing that the class would have to pick a partner to work with. Once he was done, he sat down at his desk and began writing Godric knows what. The rest of the class took this as a sign to get up and pick their partner. As you turned to Remus to thank him, Alaric walked up to you and demanded you be partners with him. “Thanks, but no thanks, Alaric.”

“Why?? You got a boyfriend or somethin’?”

“N-”

“Yes, actually,” Your eyes widened as you looked at the source of the voice.

“Are you joking?” Alaric scoffed, “Lupin is your boyfriend?” This got the attention of a few others, namely, the rest of the Marauders.

You looked at Remus, smiled, and then looked back at Alaric. “Yes, actually. And I would appreciate it if you’d leave,” Alaric, clearly agitated, left stomping. You turned to Remus, lowering your voice enough so that only he could hear, “I owe you my life,” He laughed quietly. “Seriously, I do. With the seat-”

“It’s just a seat-”

“Then the ingredients, and now this? Genuinely, thank you, Remus.”

“It’s uh- It’s no problem,” The corner of his mouth raised into a half smile. You continued to stare at each other until a hand dropped on each of your shoulders, you both jumped at the sudden contact.

“Moony,” James looked at him, “Were you not planning on telling us about your pretty girlfriend?” He looked at you and winked.

“Well-”

“That would be my fault-” You saved him. Peter and Sirius came over and began leaning on the table, listening in. “I asked if we could keep it between us, at least for a little while.”

“And why’s that, love?” James continued to look at you.

“Oh, um, it’s kind of embarrassing…” They looked at you expectantly, “Rem’s actually my first relationship.”

“How long have you guys-”

“And that’s the end of class,” Slughorn announced. You never thought you’d be glad to hear Slughorn’s voice before now. “You should already have your partners, for tomorrow we will begin with the Draught of Peace.”

“We’ll leave you two be,” James looked at his friends and signaled for them to leave. Waiting until the class was near empty, Remus stood up, you followed.

“I am so sorry-”

“Don’t be, if anything I should be sorry. I just said it without thinking, I’m sorry, he was just acting like a complete git. That doesn’t excuse it but- your boyfriend is probably going to find out-”

“Remus-”

“I am so sorry-”

“Remus,” You stopped in the middle of the near empty hallway and he stopped too. “I don’t have a boyfriend.”

“You- You don’t? I could’ve sworn...”

“In fact, you saved me today.”

“I told you it was nothing-”

“I know, but I’m referring to the whole, ‘boyfriend’, thing,” You began walking and he followed. “That kid, Alaric, has been harassing me since the beginning of the year. Maybe me having a ‘boyfriend’ will help get him off my back… Which, now that I think about it, I don’t know how I’m going to keep pretending you’re my boyfriend.”

“What do you mean? Also, what’s your next class?”

“Defense Against the Dark Arts.”

“Same here, I’ll walk you.”

“Thank you, and I mean like- We’re not actually dating.”

“...We could pretend…?... At least until that guy starts to leave you alone.”

You looked at him, “You’d do that?”

“I mean,” He avoided eye contact as he led you down the long corridors, “Would it be so bad? It’s not like I have anything better to do,” He smiled.

“But, do realize, we’d have to go on dates, albeit fake dates, but just to keep up appearances.”

“I know,” He nodded. “We’ll talk ‘bout it more later, yeah?” He walked into the class. You smiled and followed suit.

“We’ve been dating how long?” He continued to quizzed you as the two of you walked to the Great Hall for lunch.

“Two months.”

“Good.”

“How did we meet?” You asked him.

“You’re late everyday to potions,”

“Okay, calm down-”

“Because of your tardiness, I couldn’t help but take notice.”

“Ha ha, very funny.”

He laughed and asked another question, “Alright and how did I ask you out?”

“You didn’t. I asked you-”

“No-”

“Yes-”

“No-”

“Oh my god, our first argument.”

“C’mon, they’re waving us over,” He said nothing else but instead grabbed your hand and led you to the table. He sat down first, making room for you to sit as well.

“So,” Sirius looked at you, “How’s the lovely couple doing today?”

“Doing alright, thank you,” You smiled and grabbed Remus’s hand under the table. You saw Remus look at you from the corner of your eye but you continued to talk to Sirius. “How are you?”

“Swell. Now, how long have you been dating?”

“About two months now? Right, Rem?”

He looked at you and you looked back, “Yeah,” He gave you a small smile. “We met back in September, in the beginning of the year, and by November we had already been together a month.”

“That’s pretty fast, don’t you think?” Sirius said staring into your eyes.

“You would know, right? I mean, a different girl every few weeks? Don’t you think that’s pretty fast?”

“What are you implying?” You felt Remus squeeze your hand lightly.

“I think you know what I’m implying,” You held eye contact with Black.

He broke out an award winning smile, looking around and then settled on Remus, “I like her.”

“I’d say that went well,” You linked arms with your ‘boyfriend’ as you left the Great Hall. Everyone went their separate ways, James and Sirius to their shared class, Peter and Lily to theirs.

“Yeah, it did,” He walked you to your next class, which, coincidentally, was the same as his. “They’re probably going to grill me later though.”

“I mean, you remember the plan, right? If anything, make stuff up and just tell me as soon as you can.”

“And when’s our scheduled break-up?” He held open the door for you to walk through.

“Thank you. And it’s February 17th, if that’s okay with you?”

“Yeah, it’s no problem,” He nodded. “What an odd date, and only three days after Valentine’s Day.”

You laughed, taking a seat. Remus took the one next to you. “I know, but we need angst.”

“What for?” He took out his books and handed you a quill.

“Thanks, here,” You handed him an extra ink pot, he thanked you as you continued. “The angst makes it more believable. Picture this, you spend Valentine’s day with your significant other, it’s one of the best days you’ve ever had- Only to decide a couple days later that you’ve grown apart. The love isn’t there anymore.”

“Wow,” He stared at the blackboard as the teacher began writing. “Did you just come up with that?”

You just smiled in response.
