Thanks for 50 followers!!!!!! Love you all!!!! :)

Pairing: Remus Lupin x Reader

Word Count: 1.3k

Summary: You’re a prefect of the Gryffindor house and you and Remus became friends like that and you slowly started liking him. You find out he’s a werewolf and the cliches happen. pls forgive me

Warning(s): I wrote this at 12 am forgive my sucky writing! none, maybe some swearing, Remus self-deprecating, werewolf  scars (is that a trigger?), bad writing,  Also I will write (D/S) before sentences that describe blushing for those who are dark skinned and cannot blush, and for other details. And I’ll try to make my fics as gender neutral as possible but if there is some specification of the gender, I’ll warn ya.

A/N: Ask me for a specific fic for yourself and I’ll message you.

Being a prefect was hard. Especially a Gryffindor prefect because there were these four specific boys who decided to make as much trouble as possible and since you were a fair person, you would not let it slide. Sometimes one of these quote unquote Marauders was also a prefect and he also got caught sometimes. 

This was not easy either. Because, although, you wouldn’t tell Professor Mcgonagall and have his badge taken away, you still took points from your own house.

This is why you wanted to be a Ravenclaw.

This is also why having feelings sucked.

See here, you had a crush on him. That was the only way to put it and there was no beating around the bush there. But Mr. Oh So Very Oblivious Lupin didn’t know. He only made it worse with his stupid hair and idiotically adorable face. He probably did not even like you in that way. Just as study buddies probably (she has no idea of what’s coming, lol).

Speaking of his idiotically adorable face, you were still confused as to why he had his scars. You did not mind them but you were still curious. You had always thought that it was because of some accident or something that happened when he was younger but now, every month he comes to the Great Hall with even more. 

It couldn’t be because he has abusive parents because he ends up getting them while at school. It was still a bewildering mystery to you.

Of course, you had asked him. Although, in the beginning you thought that it would be rude but after some time you had asked him.

He had, unfortunately, ignored your question completely and very quickly changed the topic to Herbology homework. You had first dismissed it, thinking that he probably didn’t hear you and waited until he finished his rant about Mandrakes. Once he did you asked him again and he did the same thing again but this time making an excuse about meeting James, Sirius and Peter in the library.

‘Odd’ was your first thought.

But if he did not want to tell you, then you would not pressure him into telling you. If he wanted to tell you then he would. Just might take some time. 

You were doing your rounds with Remus again. You know that you should let it rest but your curiosity was getting the better of you. Asking him one more time wouldn’t hurt, right?

For some reason, asking him again felt harder than the other two times. But you were a Gryffindor, for Godric’s sake! You were supposed to be braver. So, with a deep breath, you reached out to touch his arm to get his attention. He turned to you with a sleepy smile.

‘Yeah?’ he asked.

‘Um… Okay… so, I was wondering… why do you have these scars?’ you asked timidly.

His smile slowly faded and he looked somewhat forlorn.

‘I… I’ll tell you some other time…’

Of course. You should stop. He was getting irritated. Trying to make everything less awkward, you quickly changed the topic.

‘So, has James been driving you lot insane with the Quidditch match that’s coming ‘round?’ He smiled again.

At least he was smiling.

It had been days now, since the night you asked him. You were now both curious and concerned. Very concerned. There was always sometime during the month where he would not come to school, like some very intense form of a male period or something, and when he would show up, he would look gaunt, and more tired than usual.

And he would wear long sleeved clothes during hot weathers. 

Remus John Lupin was haunting your thoughts and you really wanted to know why he had his scars and whether he was still hurt. Asking James Potter and Sirius Black had been fruitless. Hell, you even asked Peter Pettigrew! But they all said the same things. Remus just doesn’t feel well.

It was another day where Remus came into the hall, looking very gloomy. His eyes swept over the sea of students and when they landed on you, his chocolate colored eyes became lively again. You’re heart raced slightly when he smiled, and you waved shyly at him.

You had prefect rounds with him tonight so you decided to ask him whether he would be there because this would not be the first time he wouldn’t show up for rounds. It’s also always on nights when he looks sick and gaunt. It only adds to your suspicion that increases every time you see him. But you still would not jump to conclusions.

You gathered your books and moved over to where he and the rest of the Marauders were sitting, and plopped down next to him and Sirius. 

‘Morning, lads!’ you said cheerily.

‘Morning,’ grumbled Sirius, Remus wasn’t joking when he said that he wasn’t a morning person. James waved at you and resumed his conversation with Peter about dragon hide Quidditch gloves. You turned to Remus and smiled. He thought you were adorable.

But Remus, being Remus, thought that no one would love him so he hid his feelings as much as he wanted to tell you. It was no lie that you were beautiful but he also liked—he daresay loves—the little things. The way your eyes brighten up when you talked about something you love could brighten up anyone’s day. You would furrow your brow and bite your lip when you were frustrated or confused. And the way you would get flustered at the smallest of compliments made his day.

Your voice made him snap out of his train of thoughts and he realized that he was staring at you for sometime now.

‘Hey, Remus, are you gonna be there for the rounds tonight?’

James snickers and even Sirius looks happier.

‘Oh. Uh— I… I can’t be there tonight…’

You’re smile dropped slightly but you made sure that you didn’t look too disappointed.

‘Uh…Why not?’

‘I… have to do something tonight. I’ll see you later or tomorrow,’ he gave you a small smile. You returned it and put your hand on his arm, squeezing it affectionately.

‘Get well soon.’

You had left the Great Hall before you heard what Peter had said.

‘You are in love!’

The next day, Remus did not even show up at the Great Hall. You had decided to actually be a Gryffindor and tell him about your feelings. And you were also sick of him not telling you why he wouldn’t come to class or tell you where he got his scars from, so you made up your mind and went after him. Where exactly were you going, you had no idea. But you were bound to get someone to tell you where Remus was.

Since none of the other Marauders were in the Hall either, you went to the first person you could think of who might’ve known where Remus was. Professor Mcgonagall, of course.

And ,conveniently, she walked into the Great Hall at that very moment. So you dashed towards her, nearly running into the poor woman and stopped in front of her, trying to catch your breath.

‘Pro—professor, I had to ask you… Do you know where Remus Lupin is?’ you asked, desperately.

‘Ah—I do, actually. Mr. Lupin is in the Hospital—’ but before she could finish, you had already gone out of the Hall.

You rushed into the Hospital Wing and threw the doors open. Madam Pomfrey threw you a glare but you ignored it. Your eyes swept around the place and they landed on the top of Remus’ head. You ran over to him and he looked absolutely surprised. But before he could say anything, you pressed your lips to his and whispered.

‘I know you’re a werewolf, Remus. But that really doesn’t matter.’

Introducing Muggle Things to Draco Would Include...

A/N: I kinda made it a bit festive… xD

Draco being extremely confused but interested…

But only slightly… or so you had thought…

His eyebrows arching up when you showed him how to use a cell phone

He tries his hardest to type like you but fails miserably

What appears behind the cursor when he’s finished are the words “I love you.”

Draco becoming bashful when you laugh loudly at him struggling

Showing him how to ice-skate

Oh boy, how your tummy ached from laughter…

He continuously stumbles over his own two feet

Opens his mouth slightly in shock and grips your hands for dear life

Surprisingly he learns how to stay on his feet fairly quickly

He had told you once that his family never really celebrated the Christmas holiday…

Hundreds of ideas immediately popped into your head

You spent a lot of money when you noticed the holiday was soon coming up

You shooed him away from the home you two shared for a few hours while you showered every room in colorful and festive decorations

You admired the raw expression upon his soft features

A certain spark in his eyes appeared as he slowly examined the house when the job had been complete

He was utterly wonder-struck

You had waited for him to come back home so he could decorate the tree with you

Holiday tunes blasted throughout the house

Before Christmas Eve came along you planned a bit of a surprise for him

You took him to a school’s planetarium where you catched the night-time showing of the constellations and planets

You explained that it was similar to Astronomy class, almost identical.

As you were looking through a telescope at one of the stars in the sky, you heard Draco mumble something under his breath.

“It’s much more interesting than Astronomy class, I can tell you that right now.”

[essenceoflumos]

Dating Harry Potter Would Include...

A/N: There’s something that I love about this gif and idk what it is…

Harry would treat you like the queen that you are

He’d do absolutely anything for you

You’d support him no matter what his mission was

Whatever choice he made, you stood by his side through it all.

Whenever he was having a hard time, he’d see you walk into the room, and he’d find himself in a trance.

Oh how that smile could light up his world.

He’d do anything just so he could hear your laugh

Not a day went by that he’d hesitate to tell you, or even show you, just how much he truly loved you.

Whether it was getting you sweets, taking you to the quidditch pitch and flying around on your broom, or even just cuddling together on his bed in the boy’s dormitory.

Harry would never pass up the opportunity to tell you he loved you.

 When he would give you attitude, you’d ruffle his hair and lightly punch him on the shoulder.

Scolding him was an occurring thing in your relationship.

It wasn’t condescending, nor degrading, but when he’d be rude to others, you’d teasingly slap him on the back of the head.

“Ouch! What was that for?!”

“For being a bloody inconsiderate idiot, that’s what.”

He’d be really protective of you.

He wouldn’t want you being involved in his adventures

But you would insist that you weren’t going anywhere, so he’d keep a close eye on you and pray to Godric Gryffindor that nothing happened to you.

When you two were alone, Harry loved to pepper kisses all over your face.

When you’d giggle, he’d laugh then place a tender kiss on your forehead or shoulder.

He’d hate it whenever you were stressed out.

He’d constantly reassure you that everything would turn out okay in the end.

Although he held a reassuring tone to his voice, you knew he was terrified himself, so you’d place a soft kiss on his lips and tell him that no matter what happens, there’s not a doubt in your mind that everything will turn out fine.

After everything that happened with the death of Sirius, Dumbledore, and the Battle of Hogwarts, it was hard to find that ground you both needed for your relationship, but the love was stronger than ever.

You both knew that no matter what was thrown at the two of you, nothing, absolutely nothing, could change the fact that you and Harry would always be there for each other.

Thanks to everyone who joined the celebration! Things are starting to get busy in life so I’m not opening them as a separate thing, but I hope to do so in the future!

[essenceoflumos]

May I have a lightning ship?💓 my name is Crista & I’m a Slytherin! I have brown hair w/ blonde highlights, green eyes, & 5’0”. I have a lot of goals that I’m determined to achieve in life, being a teacher for young children is one. I consider myself to be pretty outgoing & always looking to make new friends! A lot of people come to me if they need anything. I can get very sarcastic/sassy either jokingly or seriously. I do have a short fuse. I love being w/ friends & having a night out/in!

I SHIP YOU WITH.. GEORGE WEASLEY

-You guys are a really fun couple

-No one really expected it, but people adapted, you two soon became a well-known power couple

-He loves your sarcastic side, you both can never fail to make each other laugh

-He supports every one of your goals and will be the best encouraging boyfriend he can

You felt a pair of arms wrap around your waist. You laughed and put the book you were looking at back on the library shelf

“Guess who?”

“I can literally hear you voice and see your arms,” you smiled and shook your head.

“Just guess.”

“Hi George.”

“Nah it’s Fred,” the twin let go of you and stood by your side.

“Yeah of course,” you rolled your eyes.

“Well, whoever I am, I have a surprise for you,” George grinned at you.

“First of all, George I know it’s you, it’s painfully obvious. Second, what suprise?”

George let out a short laugh, “Meet me by the Black Lake in like twenty minutes, I have something planned for us.”

You looked at him in confusion, was it a prank, or something nice?

“Okay, I’ll see you there.” He smiled and walked away.

When you made your way there you scanned the area for your boyfriend. Unable to find him, you turned around and sighed.

“Hey!” you heard a voice suddenly yell, which made you jump slightly.

You were met with George standing in front of you, “This way love.”

He took your hand and walked you to a place where a simple blanket and picnic basket was laid out.

“Aw, George.. Did you set this up?” you smiled and glanced up at him.

“Yup, for my one and only,” he said, grinning.

You pulled him into a tight hug, which he returned with a peck on your head.

description: the world is very romantic. soulmates exist as proven by the flower buds everyone has on their wrists, that bloom when you first meet yours. all of that is well and good, but you’re not entirely a fan of flowers, and you’re getting sick of everyone saying you just need to wait it out. 

alternatively: you get stuck in detention after picking a fight with two classmates who said you’d be nicer once met your soulmate, and don’t understand why this redheaded boy keeps looking at you weird now.

You did not think the detention you were in at the moment was fair in the slightest. You also knew that trying to debate this with Professor Mcgonagall would not go well for you. However, you were perfectly fine with trying your best. 

“They provoked me!” your voice echoed throughout the trophy room, bouncing off of shelves and shelves of plaques and awards. 

Sharp eyes stared down at you pointedly, and the Scottish accent that came from your professor’s lips sounded quite unsympathetic. “They provoked you. I see– did Miss Sanders, and Mr. Holsted hex you first?” 

There was a moment where you were silent, before you shook your head. Professor Mcgonagall continued, “Did they begin to accost you verbally?” 

Really, trying to defend yourself like this was a bad idea– you should have figured that out. You were practically an adult being halfway through your sixth year. “No ma’am.” 

“Would you like to keep saying that you were provoked, then?”

“I would not, no.” 

“Well then, I’d suggest you’d start shining trophies with Mr. Weasley.” A glance over your shoulder showed one of the Weasley twins in your year that you had managed to not talk to yet somehow, who appeared to be trying quite hard not to laugh at you. Emerald colored robes fluttered away and soon enough it was just you two in the room. 

Everyone knew the Weasley twins– or rather, knew of them. Despite the fact you’d just landed yourself in a month’s worth of detention for starting a duel over a petty comment from a classmate, you tended to like quiet most of the time and while you were certain the Weasley twins were nice boys it was an undeniable fact that often time when both rolled around loudness followed. 

This one seemed rather quiet at the moment though. 

“You’ve got a lot of courage talking to Minnie like that.” 

“I could say the same about you calling her ‘Minnie’. Is that how you got detention?” 

The boy shrugged, “That or setting off a few fireworks in the Prefect’s bathroom.” 

At the moment you stood by your decision to have not met them quite yet. 

Ah well– there were worse things than spending a few hours talking with a cute boy, you supposed. “I suppose those two things are about equal.” 

He let out a rather melodic laugh and tossed you a rag. “Knew I’d like you. Let’s get to work then.”

ok this is really sweet

Cool Kids - Sirius Black X Reader

Sirius Black X James twin! Slytherin! reader

Based off the song Cool Kids by Echosmith

Warnings: It’s a little angsty. I’m sorry.

Summary: You felt invisible, until one of your brother’s friends extends the olive branch.

|| Masterlist ||

    Loud laughter boomed from the hall as you walked toward your next class. Barely twenty feet ahead of you were the infamous Marauders, or as you liked to call them - your twin and his dopey friends, walking side by side. You shook your head at their boisterousness. You preferred to keep to yourself, there was very few people you wanted to talk to anyway. Yes, your brother and his friends were quite a sight to see, and nothing could bring them down. You were the opposite. Where James was loud, you were quiet. He was out going, you were shy. He was sporty, and you, well, weren’t. He was popular, and the professors didn't seem to even know your name. You were the other Potter.     You let out a sigh and decided to go the long way instead. ///-///

    You could practically see your brother’s blinding smile from across the room as he spoke to his friends, gesturing wildly. You pushed your plate away, letting your head fall against the table with a muted thump.

     James scanned the room for your face with a smile, finally seeing you tucked away in the furthest corner of the Slytherin table. He frowned at the sight of you looking so disconnected, like nobody wanted to sit around you as you rested you head on your arm, poking a fork at your food.     “I’ll be right back.” He told his friends, but whether they heard was indecipherable.     “Hey, Y/n/n.” He plopped down across from you, smiling again as you raised your eyes to stare at him.    “Yes, J?” You spared him a small smile, knowing that he could get in trouble just from sitting over here to talk to you.     “The boys and I are going to Hogsmeade this weekend. Can you come?” James beamed at you.     “You know I’d love to, but I’d hate to intrude on your boys weekend.” You tried to politely excuse yourself.     “Come on, Y/n, pleasseeee,” The dumb boy whined with a pout, “I miss hanging out with my little sister.”     “Fine.” You caved. His pleading look turned into one of triumph as he stood once again.     “Yes! We’ll meet in the courtyard at 11 on Saturday!” He bounced back to his table, ignoring the glares he was getting from the other Slytherins. ///-///

       As promised, you showed up in the courtyard at 10:45, hugging your sweater closer around you in the autumn chill. You could hear the boys before you could see them. Arguing in attempted hushed tones as they approached.     “Y/n/n!” James beamed at you, clearly cutting off whatever Sirius was arguing with him about, and wrapped you up in a hug from the side.       “James.” You stifled a laugh at his antics, patted his arm. You looked to the others, giving them a shy smile.     You knew their names, of course; everyone knew the names of the biggest trouble makers in school.     “Y/n, you know Remus, Sirius and Peter, right?” Your brother asked as he pulled away. You just shrugged, holding your tongue.     You had always heard about how attractive Sirius was, all the girls on your floor twitter on and on about him, but up close he proved more than you had expected. However, he was a notorious flirt and you refused to give in to it.     “Shall we go?” You asked in a soft voice, earning voices of agreement.

    You walked behind them, feeling out of place amongst the quartet. You would’ve been fine with just your brother, or maybe your brother and Remus, but the presence of all four of the intimidated you.     “What do you think, Y/n?” Sirius’s voice brought you from your thoughts.     “I’m sorry, what? I wasn’t listening?” You hummed, looking up from where you were staring at their feet in front of you.     “Honeydukes or Zonkos?” He prompted.     “Oh, um, Honeydukes. You guys could just make whatever you needed from Zonkos, why would you bother buying it?” You shrugged. heat rose to your face from being put on the spot.      “Honeydukes it is!” Peter beamed charging ahead. This time James fell into place with you.     “I need help with Lily,” He admitted, blood rushing his cheeks.     “Awe you’re blushing,” You teased, poking his cheek.     “So are you! At least Sirius didn’t make me blush.” He stuck his tongue out at you.     “Sirius didn’t make me blush.” You protested. “Besides how can I help, I don’t know Lily.”     “But you know girls. I have no clue about them, it makes me feel stupid.” He sighed.     “James, you became an animagus at 15. You are far from stupid.” You comforted. “Look, maybe, instead of trying so hard to impress her; why don’t you just, y'know have a real conversation with her? Ask her what she thought of the homework, or what ever book she reads."      "You’re a genius, little sister.” He pulled his arm around your neck as if to give you a noogie.     “Yeah whatever.” You mumbled. “And for the millionth time, we are the same age.”     “But I was born first.” He teased.     “By like two minutes!” You argued, unable to keep the grin off your face.

    Honeydukes was bustling with life as you followed your brother through the shop. Your heart pounded as all the noise surrounded you, quickly you grabbed the back of your brother’s shirt and let him lead you through the crowd.     “I’m telling you, you need to try this one.” Remus insisted, trying to force Sirius to take a small box of chocolate.     “Y/n,” Sirius perked up when he saw you behind James, “Why don’t you try this chocolate.”     “Oh, um, sure.” You took the box from him, holding carefully in your hands.     Finally you guys checked out, arms full of your sweets. You placed your small selection on the counter, James laughed loudly with Remus and Peter as they left.     “Two Chocolate Wands and a Peppermint Toad, will that be all for you?” The man asked.     “Yes, sir,” You smiled slightly.     “15 Galleons,” He said in a bored voice. You dug through your sweater pockets for your change, counting out what you had.      “14 galleons,” You muttered to yourself scratching the back of your neck, “Uh, how much if I put one of the Chocolate Wands back?”     “Here.” Sirius handed you a galleon, “You don’t have to put one back.”     “Thank you, Sirius.” You handed the man your fourteen galleons, collecting your treats.     “Have a nice day,” The man called to you as you followed Sirius.     “You didn’t have to do that, Y'know.” You faced the raven haired boy.     “Do what?” He grinned, playing dumb.     “You didn’t have to help me.”     “Well, I wanted to.” He shrugged.      “You shouldn’t feel obligated to just because I’m James’ sister.” You crossed your arms. Your angry face adorable in his eyes.      “I didn’t do it because of James. I did it because I wanted to.” He maintained, trying to hide how much your frustration made him want to laugh.     “Well, why then? And don’t say ‘because you wanted to’. It’s not like I’m part of your group. I’m just.. I’m just me.” You sighed at the end. You didn’t want help. You didn’t need help. You just wanted to be.     “Exactly. You’re you. that’s reason enough.” He beamed at you and your heart swelled. The only people who wanted to talk to you just wanted to get to James, but Sirius already had a James. He just wanted you. Just as you are.     “O-oh,” You said lamely. Heat rushing to your face as a result of your chagrin.     “And, I’d like it very much if you hung out with us more.” He stated as he walked away, spotting your brother walking into The Three Broomsticks.     “I’d like that too.”

Maybe you weren’t quite as invisible as you thought.

This is beautiful!!!

Love Story - Sirius Black

sirius black x reader

masterlist - prompts (request open)

a/n : i have slowly been adding to this work for some time and i loved the outcome, hope you enjoy it just as much as i did !

word count: 4400

We were both young when I first saw you 

I close my eyes and the flashback starts 

I’m standing there on a balcony in summer air

My fingers gripped the picture book as I made my way towards the couch, the leather book feeling heavy as I took in the picture at the front cover.

It was Sirius and I, dressed in our most formal attire and the roses from the garden in the background as the fireflies moved around in the picture.

A soft sigh left my lips and I let my eyes close, recalling the first time I ever properly saw him.

Keep reading

#i love your writing so much

[essenceoflumos]

Hey there! Congrats on 100 followers. My name is Alice and I’m a proud Gryffindor. Could I please have a lightning era ship? I’m an ambivert and I enjoy being a mom friend. Laughing and making people laugh gives me so much joy. I like learning languages and writing poems especially and tend to secretly gift it to my friends by hiding it in their bag. I tend to need persuading as I am not very brave but I won’t hesitate to stand up for people I care about. That’s all from me. Thanks ❤️

I SHIP YOU WITH.. CEDRIC DIGGORY

-Cedric loves how caring and wonderful you are

-When you both start dating you leave him little notes here and there, they always brighten his day

-He admires your talents and tries to learn from you

-Whenever you walk into a room he smiles

-You both always make sure one another is doing well

Cedric opened his notebook only to have a letter fall out.

He picked it up and gave a confused look. It had his name in pretty handwriting, making it obvious it was addressed to him.

He opened it and was met with a simple poem. It was about him, how the giver thought of him. The last line was,

Yes, I’m asking you out, yes or no?

-Alice

Cedric’s cheeks were bright red, he put the letter down and smiled.

You had slipped that poem in his notebook when he went to the bathroom during charms. You had been to nervous to try anything face to face, so a nice letter had to do.

You sat in the Great Hall, waiting for Cedric to walk in, hopefully having seen the letter. At the same time you were embarrassed, what if he thought it was dumb, or he didn’t like your writing. You shook the thought off, hopefully you didn’t have to bare him saying no.

Cedric stood at the doorway and scanned the Great Hall for a second before finding your eyes, he smiled and walked over to the Gryffindor table.

You tilted your head down and tried to not notice. He sat down next to you.

“I got your letter, I say yes,” he said grinning at you.

“Wait, r-really?” you looked at him.

“Yes, you have wonderful writing. I really want to talk with you, more than we already do.”

“Thanks. I do to.”

“Hogsmeade next week?” he questioned.

“Yeah yeah, that works,” you smiled.

“Alright, see you in Charms,” he gave you a wink before getting up and walking over to the Hufflepuff table.

Ship with lightning preference? I also prefer dudes right now. I’m a ravenclaw with social anxiety and I love helping people out. My friends call me too nice because I can’t say no I’m always rlly awkward and can’t stop using fingerguns. I don’t really get mad and when I do it’s probably because of some sort of discrimination, but I can’t argue for my life. I’m always quiet and daydreaming ♓️♓️ When I see a paper and pen u KNOW IMA DOODLE ALL OVER IT I also love broadway n Disney n calligraphy

I SHIP YOU WITH.. NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM

-Neville never really knew how to approach you so he chose to admire you from afar for a while

-He’s so adorable, and sweet to you

-He buys you little gifts here and there to remind you about him

-You guys work really well together so you study a lot and do schoolwork with one another

You swiftly walked through the corridors trying to make it back to your dorm. You had promised your friend to help them study, you were suppose to be there twenty minutes ago.

Suddenly you felt all your books fall, leaving your school bag weightless. You stopped and slowly looked down. You closed your eyes and took a deep breath.

You crouched down to pick up all your items.

Neville happened to be walking by and immediately went to help you.

“Neville? I-It’s fine I got it,” you said.

“It’s ok, did your bag break,” he questioned, standing up with a few of your items.

“I guess.. Thanks for helping out,” you straightened yourself out and looked at the ground.

“No worries, where are you going, I can walk you their.”

“It’s alright, really. I’m just going to my room,” you said, looking up at him.

“I can help, I was just heading to the library so I have time,” he gave a small smile.

You walked beside Neville to the Ravenclaw tower. It was a nice conversation. Neville spoke to you about a new plant he discovered which was quite interesting.

“So- um, do you think you can carry your things, ‘cause I can do it if you can’t,” he stuttered.

“I got it,” you took your things and stood there awkwardly.

“I-I’ll see you tomorrow,” Neville’s face was red as he walked away.

You smiled to yourself and felt a blush go across your face before entering the common room.

You couldn’t wait for the next time you would speak with him.

Join my fanfic family and get all of my love and devotion.

I started my little fanfic family almost a week ago and I’m thrilled with how well it’s looking, and I’m really happy to be opening it up to everyone.

I made it so that HP fanfic authors would have a place to find others whose stories would appeal to them, and also to have a little extra way to share their stories. Members can tag their writings (and other creations) with “#moonlit family” along with whatever other tags they use to share them with other members. Or, you know, you could just use the members page. It’s easy to filter to find authors who write the stuff you like to read (and it’s also really pretty, imo.)

Rules:

must be following this cedric diggory fanblog

be a fanfic writer for the harry potter fandom

How to Join:

Send my ask box: 🌙 + your name + all applicable types of fanfic you write (character x character, reader-inserts/imagines, or character x ocs) + eras you write for (lightning, marauder, next gen, fantastic beasts) + a short quote

Send my private messages: a link to your masterlist + a picture you’d like me to use, if not your icon

Dating Remus Lupin would include:

Him being so shy and insecure at first because he’s convinced he’s a monster

You ignoring his self-deprecation and telling him all the things you love about him

You may include your love of his sweaters because he’s such a bean pole and they are so comfy and they smell like him

Figuring out he’s a werewolf months before he actually tells you and you not saying anything just for the extravagant lies the marauders come up with to excuse his absence and all their injuries around the time of the full moon

Enabling his chocolate addiction because he totally needs the positive reinforcement

Him getting more confident over time and initiating lots of cuddles

Not being able to stand or sit near him without his arm wrapping around your waist or him grabbing your hand

Studying together and working hard so he actually has decent notes for the lessons he misses

Him pressing lots of kisses to your forehead and temple just for being you

You basically becoming the fifth resident in the dormitory in winter because he’s just so warm to snuggle up to and your own bed is just too cold

Not going overboard on the PDA and Lily asking James why he can’t be more like Remus after another failed elaborate attempt on James’ part to ask her out

Lots of walks around the school grounds because he feels so much relaxed when he isn’t cooped up

Finding it adorable how his nose scrunches up in potions because of the smells and the dead animal parts which just freak him out

Spending time together just reading quietly because you don’t have to be doing something all of the time

James and Sirius basically adopting you ad their little sibling

Once the werewolf is out of the bag, you are both open and honest with the other because you trust each other implicitly

Low key giving the marauders ideas for pranks and then acting totally innocent when said ideas are put into motion

Just generally being happy together and willing to adapt and work on problems because you want this relationship to last

#this is cute!

[essenceoflumos]

Awesome, thanks so much! And congrats on 100, I’m glad to join your following! Ship? Lightening era, plz, and I’m in Gryffindor. I am an ISFJ, so if you look stuff up about that, there’s a lot of info. I’m an ambivert and can be moody, though I try to serve people a lot and usually can tell what they are feeling and how to help them quickly. I’m a weirdo and a hopeless romantic and I’m not the mom friend, but I’m very much like a mom when it comes to chores and household chores. I will yell CX

I SHIP YOU WITH.. HARRY POTTER

-Harry loves having you around, you make him feel better about, well, life

-You spend time alone in his dorm, cuddling and talking, this helps him get his mind off things a lot

-When ever you’re feeling down he hugs you and helps you through it

-Hogsmeade is always fun, you two walk around, trying new food, looking at shops, and everything like that

Harry sighed as he looked around Honeydukes. He wanted to buy something special for you. He decided Honeydukes wasn’t the right place and went to a small jewelry shop. Yes, he could get you a bracelet, or a ring, or a necklace. God, why was this so hard.

He spent a lot of time looking, but finally decided he would get you a bracelet with a charm in the shape of a heart. Nothing could go wrong with this, hopefully.

Few days past of Harry being a nervous mess, what would be the right moment.

After potions one day, Harry asked you to wait for him outside. You two started talking and laughing together.

Harry stopped you in the empty corrider causing you to give him a look of confusion.

“Yeah?” you asked, smiling at him.

“I-I have something I wanted to give you, for a while. I just didn’t really know how, I probably should’ve gave it to you sooner,” he rambled.

“Hey hey, it’s ok. What is it?” you said.

He reached into his bag and brought out a small square box. You took it in your hands and opened it.

“Harry..”

His eyes widened, did you not like it? “They only had that design, s-sorry if it’s not your-”

“It’s perfect, I love it.” you wrapped your arms around his. “I love you.”

He gave a relieved smile, before hugging you back.

“I love you too.”
