making gingerbread houses
- the potters are THE family when it comes to christmas traditions 
- james is like one of those dads on vacation with an itinerary for the whole month of december
- he will be partaking in every christmas festivity 
- and so will you, like it or not
- and he will be referring to anyone who complains even once as ‘scrooge’ 
- his favorite, without a doubt, is decorating gingerbread houses 
- because this man is competitive 
- he loves you, but there’s no way he will let you make a better gingerbread house than him 
- he wanted to bake his own like his mom used to do when he was a kid 
- but he is no longer a kid 
- and you are not his mom
- so he settles for the pre-assembled ones 
- gets soooo pouty when yours starts looking better than his
“i think they gave you better icing or something”
- excuses
- you leave for one second to wash your hands 
- and come back to his gingerbread house lights (mini gummies) actually flickering 
“jamie! we agreed no magic!”
“you can’t prove anything!”
- he’s such a sore loser omg
- says he doesn’t care whose turns out better 
- liar 
- insists that you do one together 
- more like he watches you do one and claims half the work 
- sits you in his lap while you work on it 
- his only contribution is a heart on the side with your initials in it 
- he’s so cute y’all 
- wraps his arms around your middle and snuggles into your neck 
- hums along to the christmas music playing in the background 
- gets bored and stands up, taking you with him 
- dances around the dining room to festive music until his parents return home
- and immediately asks them whose is better 
- doesn’t care my ass 🙄
“they’re both great jamie” 
“y/n’s.”
“…”
“what? i’m not going to lie to my son”
- will need to snuggle on the couch to a christmas movie after that 
- his poor little feelings :,(

decorating the tree
(contemplating writing a fic for this, lmk what you think)
- sirius never got to decorate a christmas tree as a kid
- they always had one, and he helped put ornaments on
- but it always ended in him getting yelled at for putting them in the wrong place
- and they always had to match the theme
- if he brought an ornament home from school, it went straight into a box
- so when you get a tree for your place, he fully intended to sit back and let you do all the work
- you bring in a few boxes of ornaments and he tells you he’ll get all of them out
- he doesn’t want his baby poking themselves on the sharp part
- he goes through the first box and there’s nothing special
- some cute ornaments you made as a child that your family was willing to part with
- a cute set of a wolf, deer, dog, and rat that james insisted on everyone getting
- then he moves on to the next box
- and it’s full of ornaments from his family home that never got put on the tree
- he doesn’t even care how you got them, he just feels so appreciated for once
- he associates christmas with some not so good memories, and he loves you so much for trying to replace them
- sets the box down and hugs you so tight
- you swear you hear sniffles, but that’s neither here nor there
- lifts you up to put the star on top of the tree
“nice view from down here. star looks pretty good too”
- you step back to admire your work and he can’t stop smiling
- he’s so proud of it
- the tree is nowhere near as pretty as the ones he was used to
- but it was the best tree he had ever seen
- because it was yours
- and it showcased how much you love him
remus lupin
Tumblr media
family christmas party
- oh he is NERVOUS
- he’s met your family before, but this is a big deal to him
- because it’s the holidays and your whooooole family will be there
- you try to tell him that there’s no way he could make a bad impression
- he has tea with madam pince once a week, older people adore him
- you offer to pick him up but he insists on coming over alone
- which was a BIG mistake
- he went to a christmas party at the potter’s last year and was severely underdressed
- how was he supposed to know you have to dress fancy for christmas parties?? they don’t do that in the movies
- he was not going to do that again
- but your family does not wear suits to a christmas party
- weirdo pureblood traditions
- when he walk in and everyone is in comfy clothes?
- he has never felt more embarrassed
- his face is so red it could pass for an ornament
“you have more christmas sweaters than anyone i’ve ever met, and today is the day you decide not to wear one?”
- aside from a few of your uncles teasing him, everyone thinks he looks quite charming
- i mean, he’s already an attractive boy
- he can only look better in a suit
- besides, he’ll take a few teasing comments if it means he gets doted on by your mom
- whines to you once you’re in private that you should have told him
- you’re so mean
- remus lupin is a big baby
- luckily, you have a few of his sweaters
- you lead him into your bedroom to change
“door open y/n!”
- as if remus would ever do something inappropriate in your childhood home!
- he so would
- will NOT stop sniffing his sweater that now smells exactly like you
- it gets to present time and remus doesn’t expect to get anything
- and he’s fine with that !!!!
- he’s just happy to be there
- rests his head on your shoulder and watches everyone pass around presents
- you play with his hair and that’s enough of a gift for him
- but omg remus this one has your name on it!
- and it’s from you and your parents
- he smiles so big and assured them over and over that they didn’t have to do that
- he opens it up and it’s a pair of pajamas
- you tell him they match the ones that you three have
- and that’s the sweetest thing he has ever heard
- you guys want him to match you 🥺
- after everyone leaves, you all change into them and watch a christmas movie
- you snuggle up on the couch and he holds you tight
- occasionally kissing your forehead and thanking you for tonight
“you know, they can’t yell at us to leave the door open if they’re asleep”
- he’s so cheeky
- but who are you to deny him

Hey! I have an idea for a Remus x fem!reader. They volunteer to babysit Neville and Harry(both James, Lily and Frank, Alice are ok) and kids try to set them up, get them to play games like Reader being a princess who they have to rescue and Remus - the knight, who has to kiss her (smth like Sleeping Beauty).
true love’s kiss
notes: if you can’t tell, i love writing dialogue.

Tumblr media
Laughter filled the Potter household as James hoisted his son, Harry, and the Longbottom’s boy, Neville onto his shoulders. Harry threw his fists into the air, obviously used to his father’s antics. Neville gripped onto James’ arm and held on for his life.
“Potter and Longbottom have done it again! The quidditch cup goes to Gryffindor! The crowd goes wild,” he yells, bouncing up and down as if he were celebrating a big win from back in his quidditch days.
“Inside voice, James Potter,” Lily remarked, entering the room with her purse in hand and James’ coat thrown over her shoulder. He groaned and rolled his eyes playfully. “Fine.”
The boys giggled as James pretended to drop them and quietly mimicked the loud murmur of a crowd.
Lily plopped her stuff down on the table and turned to Alice, who was making sure Neville had everything he needed in his bag.
“Okay, I’ve got all my stuff, Frank is laying out the boys’ pajamas, James cast a protective spell on the house, I think we’re good to go!” She turned to look at the clock on the wall. “Remus should be here any minute now.”
“Uncle Moony!” Harry cheered, having overheard his mom’s conversation. “He’ll give us lots of chocolate. Just don’t tell my mom,” he informed Neville who nodded his head eagerly, pretending to zip his lips shut.
Alice turned to Lily with a confused look on her face as she queried, “You asked Remus to babysit?”
James walked towards the pair and grabbed his coat from Lily, kissing her cheek. “Well yeah Alice, leaving them with Sirius would be as good as leaving them alone.”
“It’s not that, I just thought I was supposed to find someone to watch them. Y/n is on her way.”
“Aunt Y/n!” both the young boys cheered. They couldn’t believe their luck at having two babysitters instead of one. Alice, on the other hand, was not as pleased with her mess up. She brought her hands up and covered her face as her cheeks flushed in embarrassment.
“Hey, it’s not a big deal. Two for the price of one,” James joked, slipping his coat on. He paused momentarily. “Except we’re not paying them, right?”
"We might have to pay Y/n if Remus loads them up with sugar," Frank chuckled, entering the room and throwing his arm around his wife’s shoulder.
“Maybe the boys can play matchmaker,” Lily raised her eyebrows and smirked. “Give them that little push they need.”
“The one they’ve needed since third year?” Alice adds. A knock at the door had everyone’s heads turning. James turned to walk toward the door, but the boys beat him to it.
“We’ll get it!” Neville exclaimed, racing Harry to the door. They opened it and you scooped them up immediately, playfully tickling them.
“How are my favorite boys in the whole world?” you asked, pinching their cheeks which earned a groan from both of them.
“You better not let Moony hear you say that. He might get jealous,” James teased. You rolled your eyes at James and set the boys down. You had just stepped foot in his house and he was already teasing you about your crush.
“Well it’s a good thing he’s not here, isn’t it?”
Lily and Frank looked at you apologetically, Frank sucking in through his teeth. James and Alice shared a similar expression of holding back laughter.
Your face dropped. “What did you do?”
James grabbed you and pulled you into the kitchen, Lily following suit. “So there may have been a wee bit of confusion on our part,” Lily starts to explain.
“No no no, this is a good thing!” James started, attempting to keep the situation strictly positive. He gripped your shoulders and looked into your eyes as if he was about to give you a pep talk. “You get to be alone with Remus for a whole afternoon. When was the last time you two were alone together?”
Lily was about to chime in that they would be watching his son, not alone, when there was a knock at the door.
“There’s your Moony,” James teased. He smoothed out your hair, jokingly making sure you looked good for Remus. He had known about your little crush since third year, but he still acted as if it were a big deal.
“You see him all the time Y/n. Just act like you always do around him,” Lily rubbed your shoulder comfortingly, then exited the kitchen to greet the second babysitter. You turned to follow her but stopped momentarily to punch James in the arm.
Lily opened the door for Remus who kissed her on the cheek. “Where’s the little tyke? Haven’t seen him all week,” he moved into the living room looking for Harry but was met with another familiar face.
He straightened up at the sight of you, his features softening slightly as a smile tugged at the corner of his lips. “I didn’t know you were fifth wheeling with these guys tonight,” he joked, butterflies filling his stomach as you laughed at him.
“I’m not. They’ve started a babysitters' club and were the only two members.”
Remus looked between the two couples who just shrugged at him.
“Do you four not communicate?” Remus scolded playfully. Hearing his voice, Harry ran into the room and jumped into his arms. Remus threw him in the air and you couldn’t help but smile.
“You’re lucky I like Remus,” you quipped. “Had it been someone else, I would’ve gone straight back out that door.”
James snuck a quick look at Remus and wiggled his eyebrows. He walked towards him and took Harry, all the while leaning in to whisper in his ear teasingly “She said she likes youuuu.”
Had James not been holding his son, Remus would have shoved him.
“I’m sorry you guys, I’ve just been so scatterbrained lately,” Lily apologized, kissing both of your cheeks in passing as she headed to the table to grab her purse.
You both reassured Lily that it was okay and both couples were ushered out of the door by their excited children.
“We love you, Harry, behave!”
“Mind your manners, Neville!”
The boys shut the door behind their parents and turned to each other. Neville winked at Harry in a way that looked a lot more like an exaggerated scrunch of his face. Harry nodded and scurried back into the living room, Neville a few steps behind him.
“Aunt Y/n, will you read to us?” Harry begged. Neville assisted by giving you the cutest pleading eyes you had ever seen. And although they looked adorable, you couldn’t help but think they were up to something.
You shot Remus a confused smile at the boy's behavior. He just shrugged his shoulders and chuckled. “Of course, she will. You boys go pick out a book.”
You giggled as they scurried away towards Harry’s room. You turned to Remus, who was already looking your way, a soft smile on his face. A blush ran up his face as he averted eye contact and rubbed the back of his neck.
“I can go make them a snack while you read,” he pointed his thumb over his shoulder in the direction of the kitchen. He wanted to stay and listen to your pretty voice, but he was discouraged at the idea of you catching him staring again. 
“What? You don’t want to stay and hear me read the story they pick?” you pouted playfully.
Remus bit back a smile, pretending that he was having to think about it. On cue, the boys came running back in with their choice of book and settled on the couch beside you. They looked expectantly at Remus.
“Well, make room for me.” You met his eyes and smiled brightly at his statement. You grabbed the book from Harry’s little hands.
“Hmm, Sleeping Beauty. This is a very good pick.”
Harry and Neville snuggled into either side of you as you read. Remus observed the way you animatedly told the story. The way your lips moved with each word had him in a trance. It reminded him of how he used to sit in the library, hopelessly watching you study with a lovesick smile. He closed his eyes and imagined what it would be like if you read to him—just him.
Before he knew it, he was being shaken out of his trance by two eager little boys. The story was over and they needed something else to entertain them.
“Uncle Moony, will you please be the prince? Please please please?” Harry begged, holding his hands together in front of his face. Remus couldn’t help but scoff, seeing so much of his father in him. He looked at you for help as to what exactly they were asking him.
You giggle at the boys. “They want to play knights, Remus. They need a prince,” you playfully cleared up his confusion. He smiled at you and turned back to the boys.
“Oh, I see now,” he nodded his head in understanding. “And why do I have to be the prince?”
Harry and Neville shared a look as if the question was absurd. Remus could sense them growing impatient, so he stood up and allowed them to drag him away. He turned back to you and playfully mouthed ‘help’. You giggled and he couldn’t help the feeling of pride that came along with making you laugh.
Harry stopped and ran back towards you. He stood on his tiptoes and cupped his hand to the side of his mouth. You leaned down and craned your neck for him to whisper in your ear, a skill he hadn’t quite honed yet. “You’re the princess. Pretend to be in a deep sleep like Aurora.”
You pulled away and Remus held back a laugh as you wiped your ear. You mouthed an ‘OK’ and he ran back towards Remus to drag him away.
Once alone, you couldn’t help but ponder Remus’ question about having to be the prince. He was always like a prince to you. A blush creeps up your neck as you recall all the books you read about princes, and how you pictured them as Remus every time. The longer you thought about it, you realized that you pictured him as the love interest in every book you read.
You could hear them rustling around upstairs in Harry’s bedroom. You imagined how Remus looked playing along with them. How the sleeves of his sweater were pushed up. The way his eyes would crinkle as he laughed along with the boys. How soft his voice would get comforting them if they got hurt.
It got quiet for a moment, and you almost stood up to go check on them. Suddenly, there were three sets of footsteps running down the stairs. You quickly laid down and shut your eyes, trying to hold back a smile.
The ‘knights’ rushed in and kneeled at your side. Remus stayed back, standing in the doorway. His chest rose and fell in a soft sigh as he studied your ‘sleeping’ figure. He took advantage of the situation and allowed his eyes to linger. He noticed the corners of your mouth twitch and he felt his stomach do a flip.
Neville put his hand to your forehead to ‘check your pulse’, to which you could hear Remus softly blow air out of his nose. He moved from the doorway to kneel beside them whispering, “If only we had read a book that told us what to do to wake her up.”
“A kiss!” Neville exclaimed, earning a harsh shush from Harry. Neville giggled and whispered the same words again. Remus ruffled his hair and nodded down at the boy.
“That’s a good idea, Sir Neville. Try it and see if it works.”
You couldn’t help but smile at the soft voice Remus used with the boys. You always admired how the marauders played with Harry, but there was something extra special about the way Remus did it. He was so gentle and encouraging with them.
Neville began to lean in to kiss your cheek but was stopped by Harry’s small hand on his lips. He shot Neville a look that reminded Remus so much of the one Lily gave James when he says something stupid.
“True loves' kiss, Sir Neville! Remember?” he asked, the last word spoken through gritted teeth as if he was conveying something secret. Neville's face changed to one of understanding, before scooting over and making room. Harry turned to his beloved uncle Moony,
Remus’ eyes widened and his cheeks flushed immediately. His first thought was how much he wanted to, but his second was how much he couldn’t kiss you right now. Not while he’s playing pretend. This scenario had played out in his head over a thousand times and none of them involved children.
Remus shook his head and went to stand up, but Harry grabbed his hand. “But you’re the prince! You have to save the princess!”
You opened one eye and could visibly see how nervous poor Remus was. Since he had the boys’ attention, you took the opportunity to reach for his hand. He startled at the touch, then relaxed when your eyes met. You nodded at him softly as if to tell him it’s okay, just play along.
And you had meant that he could just pretend to kiss you. You figured he didn’t want to and was uncomfortable at the thought. That was not how Remus understood it. Remus took your actions as an okay to kiss you.
He blushed and squeezed between the two boys who were watching in anticipation. He leaned down so that his face was hovering over yours, and you felt his hair fall against your cheek.
Before you could start acting, you felt his lips graze the corner of your mouth. Your eyes snapped open as the younger boys both cheered. Remus pulled back suddenly and looked down at you horrified. Had you not wanted him to kiss you? You brought your hand up to touch the place his lips just had.
Before Remus could see your face break out into a smile, he abruptly stood. “Tell Y/n goodnight,” he stated, turning away from you and waiting. Both boys kissed your cheeks and followed Remus up to Harry’s room.
—————————————————————
Remus entered the kitchen to see you sitting on the counter drinking out of a mug. You offered him one, but she shook his head. He didn’t want it to throw him off the apology he had just rehearsed over and over.
“I’m so sorry Y/n,” he started, running a stressed hand through his hair. “I don’t know why I thought that was okay. I clearly misinterpreted what you meant and I hope you can forgive me.”
“Mus,” you called softly. He turned to you, making eye contact for the first time since the kiss. “Come here.”
He walked towards you slowly, as if he were a scared animal. The smile you gave him has the crease between his eyebrows relaxing. You motioned for him to come closer. He listened to you and slotted himself between your legs.
You slowly moved your hand to the back of his neck, lightly running your fingers through his hair—something you had wanted to do since you felt it against your cheek earlier. The other hand rested on his broad shoulder. He leaned down and placed his head in the crook of your neck to hide his blush.
“If I didn’t want you to kiss me, I would have stopped the game.”
You felt Remus nod against your neck, his eyelashes tickling your skin. He places his hands on your waist, rubbing his thumbs slowly against the fabric of your sweater. He retracted his head from your neck, choosing instead to lean against your forehead.
“Can I do it again?” he whispered shakily. You could feel his breath against your lips as he looked at you with pleading eyes. You bit your lip and nodded. His hands tightened on your waist as he eagerly crashed his lips against yours. You tugged on his soft strands and he groaned against your lips, pulling you flush against him.
He pulled away with a sigh, keeping his eyes closed and resting his forehead against yours. He started laughing and you were brought back to reality. Your face grew hot and you removed your hands from his hair.
“What?” you pulled back to get a better look at him. He opened his eyes and shook his head, unable to control his laughter.
“Remus, what?” you whined. He brought his hands up to cup your face and kissed you softly again. This kiss was much shorter, but you felt the same amount of butterflies in your stomach.
“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that.”
+
"They kissed? Blimey, you exceeded my expectations kid," chuckled Sirius, handing Harry the new toy motorbike he had promised him for playing matchmaker.
“8 years. We tried to set them up for 8 years and my son does it in an afternoon.”

masterlist
james
Tumblr media
(i’ve already written one for james x, but another one won’t hurt)
- this boy is so precious
- he would never consciously do something to hurt you
- ever
- but oh boy is he dumb sometimes
- you had made plans to study in the library
- and i know what you’re thinking, but HE was the one who organized the whole thing
- he picked the exact spot, time, and material you would be studying
- and all day he had been talking about it
- remus asked if you wanted to work on the potions essay together?
- james is sprinting to tell him no
- you don’t think much about it when he doesn’t show up to walk with you
- but 30 minutes in and there’s still no sign of james?
- suspicious
- you decide to stay, you still have work to get done after all
- 1 hour, no james
- hour and a half, no james
- at the two hour mark, you’re done with your work and you are PISSED
- because you could have gotten this done in one hour had you accepted remus’ offer
- you trudge back to your dorm and head straight to the shower to distress
- once you come back, you’re startled by a very regretful looking james potter on his broom outside your window
- you walk slowly towards the window
- and you can see the hope building up on his face
- only for you to close the blinds and walk back to your bed
“y/n! please let me explain! it’s cold!”
- you begrudgingly walk back to the window and open it for him
- in true james fashion he stumbles inside and is about to start laughing about it
- until he sees your face and he straightens up real quick
- explains that there were first years who needed extra help after practice
- and he was really trying to keep track of time!
- but before he knew it it was dark and you weren’t in the library anymore
- you tell him that’s not a good excuse
- and that he really hurt your feelings
- he hesitates for a moment, then grabs your hand and leads you to your bed
- he motions for you to sit down and kneels in front of you
- he’s so so sorry
- and he lets you know that
- apologizes while holding your hands and looking into your eyes
- he looks pitiful
- you know how much the thought of you being upset with him must be bothering him
- so you remove your hand from his to run it through his hair
- but the second he feels your hand leave his, he looks at you with the saddest eyes you have ever seen
- and it breaks your heart
“aww jamie!”
- you cup his cheeks and lean down to kiss his forehead
- he wraps his arms around your middle and hugs you tight
“i’ll make it up to you baby”
“i know you will jamie”
- he gets up and sits beside you, pulling you into his lap
- he caresses your back as he tells you all the things he’s gonna do to make up for it
“i do still need help on that paper though”
sirius
Tumblr media
(i also already wrote one for sirius x, this one is pretty much the same but with an alternate ending :))
- sirius is flirty by nature
- blame it on his hot shit mentality
- so if there ever were any problems between you two, his flirtatious tendencies usually played a part 
- one day, when you and sirius are walking through the halls, a member of his fan club walked up to you
- and completely ignored you, as they tend to do
“hey sirius, are you free this weekend?”
- you had already had a bad day, and you just knew this would set you off
- so you just tuned out the conversation, which you expected to not last more than three seconds
- because all sirius had to say was no
- but of course he couldn’t do that
- of course he had to make a show out of it
- you were tired and just wanted to get to the common room
- so you decided to shorten the conversation yourself
“he actually has a girlfriend”
“i do?”
- and he was joking
- you knew he was joking
- but it sent you over the edge
- so you pulled your hand away from his and stormed off in the opposite direction
- he would yell after you, easily catching up and stopping in front of you
- the glare you sent him was enough for him to let you walk past him
- you stayed in the dorm during dinner
- you needed a good cry, and what better time than when no one else was in the dorm
- hours later you hear the door open and you assume it’s one of your dorm mates
- then your curtains are being pulled back
- and it is a VERY disheveled looking padfoot
- he’s holding a cute little tray of food and there’s little spills all over it and a small one on his shirt
- but he tried <3
- and you can tell by his demeanor that he knows what he did was wrong
- not very good with verbal apologies
“i’m the worst”
“yeah”
“you shouldn’t forgive me”
“i shouldn’t”
- he sets down the food and plops down beside you
- rests his head on your shoulder and looks up at you with puppy dog eyes
- when you smile he knows he is in the clear to hug you
- so he pulls you into him and rests his head on top of yours
- muttering apologies and reassuring you he’s gonna do better
- he’s so good at reassuring you
- he doesn’t need to be told it’s okay
- when you snuggle into him and kiss his neck lightly, he knows he’s forgiven
“is this a bad time to mention how hot you being all jealous was?”
remus
Tumblr media
- if you could use one word to describe remus, it would be gentle
- the boy is the definition of "gentle giant"
- so its hard to imagine him getting angry in general, much less at you
- its common knowledge that werewolves get agitated around the full moon
- however, its not common knowledge that remus is a werewolf
- so not only are you not used to him getting angry, you're clueless as to why he is
- unlike the other two, it’s not one big thing that causes the fight
- for the past few days, remus had been short with you
- you would ask him how his day was and he would say “fine” instead of going into detail about how james and sirius did xyz
- or you would ask about his book and he would look at you over the top of it and point to the blurb on the back
- he’s so sassy y’all
- but he’s not doing it on purpose!
- and he actually really likes your company during that time of the month
- needs the quality time
- sure he gets snappy with you, but you bring him a lot of comfort that no one else does
- but you do not know that
- so you assume that he is trying to tell you he wants some space
- during class you only give him a soft smile of acknowledgement instead of your usual greeting
- in the common room you don’t sit as close to him as possible
- at dinner you decline his offer to make your tea
- and it’s hurting his feelings dammit!
- the last straw is when he sees you wearing one of your own sweaters instead of his
- he walks up to you and apologizes to whoever you’re talking to, then proceeds to drag you away
- when you’re alone he lets go if your hand and crosses his arms
“what’s wrong with you?”
“what’s wrong with me?!?”
- he explains how you’ve been distant lately
- and you look at him like 🤨
- because YOU’VE been distant lately???
- isn’t he supposed to be smart?
- and you convey these thoughts to him
- and it clicks
- his shoulders sink and he pinches the bridge of his nose
- you think he’s still mad so you turn to walk away
- but he comes up behind you and hugs you to his chest
- he nudged your neck with his nose and you relax against him
“i’ll explain everything, just let me hold you for a minute”
- you swear you hear him mutter “just in case”
- you turn around in his embrace and hug him back
“you know you can talk to me about anything mus”
- and he does
- but everything has been so good up to this point
- he doesn’t know what he would do if that came to an end
- you pull away just enough to look him in the eyes
- he knows what you’re thinking
- he always does
“i’m scared you’ll think of me differently”
“i might. but it could never be a bad different”
- you kiss his cheek and he visibly relaxes
“let’s go sit down. you’re gonna have to give me a minute to figure out how to tell you this”

“Remus just kiss meeee,” you beg your boyfriend who was currently withholding kisses in the name of education. He just tsked at you and continued flicking through the notecards in his hand.
“Not until you get a question right.”
“We’ve been at this for hours Mus. I’m a lost cause. Just give up and kiss me already!”
Remus scoffs “We’ve hardly been at it for 30 minutes love. Besides, what kind of tutor would I be if I gave up on you, hm?
You pout and sink further into the bed. “I hope you don’t do this with everyone you tutor.”
Remus chuckles and finally tears his eyes away from the questions. “Just the ones who really need the extra help,” he quips, wiggling his eyebrows at you.
You shove his shoulder and sit up. You turn so your body is facing him and prepare for a question.
“Okay, I’m gonna get this one. I feel it.”
Remus glances at you and then back at the cards, finally picking one he feels suitable to ask you. You think he’ll pick an easy one—he has to want a kiss too, right?
He shows you the front side of his flash card with some ancient runes scribbled across it in his messy handwriting. “What does this spell do?”
He studies your face as you study the writing. He smiles softly at your furrowed eyebrows. Any other time he would kiss the space between them, but he’s having far too much fun teasing you.
You finally come to a conclusion, albeit not a very confident one. You peak up at Remus and answer while crossing your fingers.
Remus bites his lip to contain his smile. He sets the card down and cups your cheeks in his hands. You grow giddy with anticipation as he leans in.
You scoot closer and lean forward, giving him a better angle. You place your hand on Remus’ thigh and close your eyes. His breath ghosts against your lips as he pauses.
“So close,” he whispers, pulling back and flipping the card around.
“Remus Lupin!” you grab a pillow from behind you and wack him with it, not even caring to check the card for the correct answer. Remus laughs loudly and blocks his face with his hands as you continue hitting him.
“You got it wrong! Hey! I was just trying to give you some-Ow!-encouragement!”
Remus grabs the pillow as you’re hitting him and tries to yank it away, pulling you with it. You fall on top of him in a fit of giggles. He looks up at you with so much love and smiles softly, pushing your hair out of your face and tucking it behind your ear.
You bring a hand up to the nape of Remus’ neck, playing with the soft tufts of hair. He closes his eyes in content and lets out a relaxed exhale. He leans up to meet your lips in a long awaited kiss.
When he is met with nothing but air, he peaks one eye open to see you looking down at him with a shit eating grin on your face.
“I didn’t answer a question correctly Remmy,” you tease, trying your best not to laugh. “What kind of tutor would you be if you gave up on me?”
Remus narrows his eyes at you and flips you over so he is on top.
“What spell opens locked doors?”
You giggle and roll your eyes. “That’s way too easy Mus.”
He whines and nudges his nose against yours. “Just answer the question.” You feel content knowing that he is just as needy as you are, so you decide to give in.
Wrapping your arms around his neck, you whisper, “Alohamora.”
He wastes no time crashing his lips against yours.

Hcs for James obsessing and babying the reader when she gets the littlest of cuts and bruises? Like he freaks out if he maybe accidentally shuts the door on her finger? Or when she bangs her foot on something?
this has been in my drafts since i was 17. i am now 21. are these even still popular y’all please give me reassurance. i missed it here sm
masterlist
Tumblr media
- oh my this sweet boy
- he would constantly baby you
- but when you’re hurt? 10x more so
- and if HE was the one that hurt you? he treats you like an actual breakable object
- let’s say you’re reading in the common room one night before james is back from detention
- and he comes in and you’re so entranced in your book that you don’t even notice him
- he was expecting hugs and kisses when he came in
- so of course his ego gets bruised
- and it’s the stupid books fault
- so he grabs your book
- which gets your attention
- and that’s all he ever wants
- of course he’s not going to give you your book back if it makes you pay attention to him (duh)
- he holds it above his head, switches hands, pretends like he threw it, the whole nine yards
- you get a little too close to stealing it back, so he takes off upstairs
- and you take off after him
- but he doesn’t realize how close you are
- in order to buy him some time, he slams the door behind him
- right onto your finger
- you let out the loudest yelp
- because that shit hurted
- and it is easily the saddest thing james has ever heard
- he freezes at first
- he turns around so slowly
- because he still has hopes it wasn’t your voice
- but when he sees you clutching your hand with tears streaming down your face, he’s by your side in .2 seconds
- he hugs you so carefully it would be funny if this 6’ jock hadn’t just slammed your finger in a door
- repeats over and over again how sorry he is and how it was an accident
- forehead kiss after forehead kiss
- picks you up and carries you to the bed
- sets you down on his lap and pulls you close
- with the softest voice he can muster, he ask you “can i see it”
- he looks at it, and if your finger wasn’t throbbing in pain you would think he was the injured one
- he looks so sad
- he brings your hand to his lips and places gentle kisses on your finger
- it stops hurting after a few minutes, but james isn’t having it
- quidditch has him pretty used to getting his finger jammed, so he’s confident in playing doctor
- he carries you around as if you need your finger to walk
- refuses to let you pick anything up
- insists on getting you an ice pack that you do not need
- it melts on his bed and makes for a nice surprise when he lays down that night
- your pain goes away after like 10 minutes—james is sulking for the next 3 business days
- anytime someone asks why your finger is bruised he physically deflates
- because he did it :(
- and he feels so guilty when you just tell them you slammed it in a door
- because he did it :(((( how could he hurt you???
- he needs more comfort than you do honestly
- hold this sweet boy and tell him it’s okay
- and maybe watch your fingers around him

oh my goodness i’m just now seeing this :((( i love you bub! happy 2 years to you!!!! you make this community a better place lovie :) you deserve nothing but the best <3
+ if you are following me and not @jamesdeerest , we have a problem. fix it ;)
2 year anniversary!
oh my goodness guys i can’t believe it’s already been two years since i started this blog! time flies. i’ve made so many friends along the way, and to everyone that’s dropped a like, comment or reblog, thank you. every notification puts a smile on my face.
in all honesty, 2020 has been shit. i’ve been stuck at home for months during lockdown, and with exams coming up, i am very stressed.
however, this community has been incredible this year.
the amount of content people keep putting out- not to mention the quality of it all? 
whether it be crying over the mandalorian or simping over pedro pascal, i’ve done it on tumblr, and interacting with you guys makes my day.
here’s to the end of 2020, and the start of endless comedies about this rotting dog shit of a year.
tagging @jamesmydeer who has been there for me so much this year. love you bro.
2021 will be better.
it certainly can’t get worse.

marauders comforting reader hc
notes: i hope this one makes someone feel a little bit better today! i hope you enjoy <3
james
Tumblr media
- james’ love language is most definitely touch
- when he wants someone to know he cares, he likes to express it
- the first thing he does when he notices you’re upset is hugs you
- big squeeze
- he tells you you don’t have to tell him right away
- but he would appreciate it if you told him eventually
- the most empathetic boy ever
- gets sad with you
- rubs your back and gently hushes your cries
- when you’re ready to talk, he’s all ears
- he lets go of you a little bit, so he can look at you while you talk
- nods along while you open up to him
- when you’re done, he wraps you up in an even bigger hug than before
“thank you for telling me, love”
- all of the cuddles
- lays your head on his chest and strokes your hair
- he tells you everything is going to be okay, and gives you any advice he might have on making you feel better
- he checks the marauder’s map every few minutes to make sure the boys aren’t coming back to disturb you
- when they do come back, he lets you know
- because he knows you’ll be embarrassed if they see you like that
- even though he tells you that you’re being silly
- so you get up to go back to your dorm
- and it’s james’ turn to be upset
“just where do you think you’re going?”
- he makes it very clear that either you’re sleeping in his dorm, or he’s sleeping in yours
- you roll your eyes, but you turn into mush at his statement
- because he’s just the sweetest. ever.
- you trudge back to his bed and snuggle into his side
- he closes the curtains and wraps his arms around you
- definitely whispers sweet nothings into your ear while you drift off to sleep
- the last thing you remember before passing out is his quiet “everything’s going to be okay”
- and you knew that as long as you had him, it would be
sirius
Tumblr media
- sirius tries to make you laugh
- because he knows it helps him to not take everything so seriously when he’s upset
- and it’s his defense mechanism when he’s uncomfortable
- and seeing you upset makes him very uncomfortable
- when he finally gets a slight chuckle out of you, he’s over the moon
- because he made you smiiiiiile
- he grabs your hand and plays with your fingers
- when he can tell that you’ve calmed down a little bit, he looks up at you
- and it breaks his heart because you look so sad
- he softly caresses your cheek, then grabs your chin and makes you look at him
- he gives you an encouraging smile and asks you what’s wrong
- you tell him you’re fine
- he knows you’re that you’re not fine
- from personal experience, he knows that when he says he’s fine, he’s most definitely lying
“i know it doesn’t seem like it right now, but it’ll help if y’talk”
- so you unload on him
- and it’s a lot for him to take in, but he tries to keep up
- has no idea what to do when you start crying
- you hold onto him and it takes a second for him to respond
- because he’s a little scared
- but he eventually hugs you back
- he rubs your back and pets your head
- like a dog
- which gives him an idea
- he turns into padfoot and snuggles into your neck
- which earns him a watery giggle
- he starts licking all over your face
- earning him even more giggles
- he eventually settles onto your chest
- you stroke his fur to help you calm yourself back down
- when he notices your heart rate is back to normal, he changes back
- but he doesn’t move from his spot on your chest
- you fall asleep with your hands in his hair
- and you wake up with it still there
- and its c u t e
- it may or may not be braided when he wakes up
remus
Tumblr media
- the sweetest boy
- doesn’t ask any questions
- gives the warmest hugs
- because he knows that hugs help him the most when he’s in a crappy mood
- has you sit in front of him on his bed with your back against his chest
- he puts his head on top of yours, which is nice
- wraps you both in so many blankets
- not that you need them; the boy is a literal heater
- makes sure you have water and comfy clothes on before you get settled
- gives you one of his sweaters
- once you’ve both settled down, he lets you pick one of the books from his nightstand
- he rolls his eyes when you pick the same one you always do
- but he thinks it’s the cutest thing that you never get tired of it
- little does he know, you barely pay attention to the words
- he stops frequently to tell you to drink some water
- even in the middle of sentences
- he’s such a mom
- without looking up from the book, he offers you pieces of chocolate every few pages
- frequently kisses you while reading
- on the top of your head
- on your cheek
- on your ear
- on the bit of your neck that he can reach
- when he does, he loses his place and has to start over
- not that you mind
- he can tell you’re getting sleepy when you start running your fingers up and down his arms
- when you eventually doze off, he quietlyclosed the book and places it beside him
- he doesn’t change positions yet though
- because even though he’s uncomfortable, he has a really good view of you leaning on his shoulder
- so he watched you for a little bit with a fond smile on his face
- when he’s satisfied, he slightly picks you up so he can lay down
- he lays you back down on top of him and kisses your forehead
- although he know you can’t hear him, you tells you how much he loves and cares about you
- when he fineshes, he hears a chorus of “aaawww”s from the other marauders
- he’s just glad it didn’t wake you up
- when you do wake up the next morning, you both have a smile on your face
- because you’re so in love, it’s a little gross

OK HAPPY BIRTHDAY OMG- muah. U are BLESSING us with the open requests, SO-
Sirius Black dating a slytherin ? I’m a sucker for enemies to lovers.
thank you so much. I hope you have the best birthday ever<3
notes: thank you thank you thank you love !!! of course, let me know what you think <3
masterlist
Tumblr media
- sirius despises all house prejudice
- but he also swears he hates every. single. slytherin.
- and no one has the guts to tell him he’s condradicting himself
- a good chunk of his humor is just him making fun of slytherin
- so imagine his utter shock when he realizes he has feelings for you
- the fact that he thinks a slytherin is pretty floors him
“this goes against everything i believe in”
- he is very conflicted
- because he wants to get to know you
- but he also wants to ignore all of his feelings
- the marauders tell him he’s being stupid
- and by the marauders i mean remus
- whose opinion matters the most, let’s be honest
- so, he swallows his pride
- and waits around the corner by the slytherin common room
- so he can “accidently” bump into you
- but when he rounds the corner and sees his brother walking with you
- turns right back around like he never meant it
- interprets it as a sign
- maybe you just weren’t meant to be
- but he still tries to impress you
- because he’s sirius, duh
- the way he gets all the other girls to fall for him, besides his devilish good looks, is his humor
- so, when he sees you walking to the great hall with his brother, he uses the opportunity to make you laugh to the fullest
- “hello snake” he smiled smugly at his brother
- which gets a few laughs but not from you
- you do, however, laugh when regulus hisses at him
- which shuts sirius up very effectively
- you had never seen sirius as anything other than a pretty boy
- he seemed a little pompous
- okay, he seemed very pompous
- the most pompous
- you had noticed him hanging around you more often
- and you caught him looking at you a lot
- which you thought was very weird
- his brother had noticed also
- and since you were friends, he wanted to warns you about sirius
- you had heard many stories about the infamous sirius black
- and from what you had heard, you were not interested
- so when he came up to you one day and asked you to accompany him to hogsmeade, you let it be known you weren’t interested
- at all
- and his ego is bruised
- but he plays it off like he doesn’t care
- he does care
- the next day, you round a corner to see sirius comforting a first year
- the first year looks really upset, and sirius is telling them that everything is going to be okay
- and you’ve never noticed how comforting sirius’ eyes are before
- maybe what regulus had told you was a little exaggerated
- maybe you did have a crush on sirius
- regulus is the first one to find out
- and he makes the immediate decision to never talk to you again
- which gives you some free time
- and sirius takes full advantage of this free time
- after whining about you to james, sirius decides to take a page out of his book
- and pester you until you say yes
- imagine his surprise when you say yes the first time he asks
- well, i guess the second
okay onto the dating
- regulus eventually learns to live with it
- you make the brothers hangout on occasion
- which can either go swimmingly or you have to break up a fight
- at first, james teases you for being a slytherin
- but sirius puts an end to it
- because he loves you
- and only he can tease you about that
- going to every party at the grimmauld place so sirius doesn’t have to stay in his room alone
- he always tells you that you would look better in red
- confides in you about his family because he knows you can relate
- you always hype him up
- whether it be looks or grades or quidditch, you’re his biggest cheerleader
- doesn’t mind wearing green for you
- gives you a constellation nickname 🥺
- the first time he says i love you is when you tell off his mom for saying something bad about him
- godric he loves you
- when regulus gets the dark mark, you both confide in eachother
- he really does love you more than anything
- soooo many kisses
- all the kisses
- all over your face
- his favorite thing in the whole world is when you sneak up behind him and steal a kiss in his cheek
- because it makes you giggle
- and he adores you
- alexa, play adore you by harold styles
- if you had told him he would dream of marrying a slytherin every single night before he goes to bed as a first year, he would have passed out
- he’ll make an exception for you, though

advanced happy birthday love! 💙 is it okay if you write an hc where reader keeps avoiding james because he did/said something wrong?
notes: thank you so much lovie!! i hope you enjoy it!!
masterlist
Tumblr media
- he would be so clueless
- this boy is the dalai lama of being oblivious
- if he does something wrong, you have to spell it out for him
- has zero boundaries when it comes to teasing
- and obviously he takes it a little too far sometimes
- so one day, you’re in the common room with the other marauders
- and you’re just sitting there, listening to their conversation
- you grab james’ hand because you’re getting a little bored
- and james doesn’t think anything about it
- but he notices sirius is darting his eyes towards your interlocked hands
- so obviously james has to make a snide remark about it before he does
“can’t keep your hands off me can you?”
- it was meaningless joke
- but the marauders all laughed
- so you got embarrassed
- and you pull your hand away from james and stay quiet the rest of the time you’re there
- then, when it’s time for you to go to bed, he doesn’t volunteer to walk you
- which is not a very james like thing to do
- so it makes you think
- are you clingy?
- so obviously you get in your own head and convince yourself james needs space
- so the next morning at breakfast, you don’t sit next to him
- which does not please mr. potter
- he keeps trying to get your attention during class
- he figures out you’re trying to ignore him when he comes up to your desk and your partner gives him more attention than you do
- he keeps pestering you to talk to him
- finally, you start to get aggravated at him
- because you’ll have him know that this is his fault
“what, james?”
- yep, you called him james
- sad boi hours
- now he knows you’re really serious
- trudges back to his seat
- because that broke his wittle heart
- he tries to figure out what he did to deserve this
- asks sirius
- which is a mistake
“i don’t know dude, probably her time of the month. right remus?”
“remus, don’t throw books at sirius. we’ve been over this.”
- he has a game the next day
- and he’s terrified that he won’t play good
- because his mind isn’t on quidditch
- and he doesn’t know if you’ll show
- but when he takes the field and sees you in the crowd, his heart swells
- you give him a thumbs up and mouth goodluck
- but after the game, you don’t wait for him like you usually do
- so james sets out to find you
- when he does, he walks up to you and throws his arms around you
“please give me attention”
- and you do, to an extent
- you tell him he played good and give him a kiss on the cheek
- but that is not enough for james
- so he finally just asks you what’s bothering you
- was that so hard james?
- and you tell him that you’re trying not to be so clingy
- and this boys heart breaks in half
- because he doesn’t think you’re clingy
- if anything, he’s clingy
- looks at you with the fondest smile ever
- he reaches up and tucks a strand of hair behind your ear, and rests his hands on either side of your face
- kisses your forehead
- reassures you that he loves you and your attention more than anything
- and he makes sure to walk you back to your common room
- so many i love you’s and stolen kisses
- all while making you give him a play by play of the game from your perspective,because he’s not positive that you were giving his quidditch expertise the attention it deserves
- you were
- because you adore this idiot

drunk marauders hc
i posted this earlier, but it didn’t show up in tags :(, and since i’m a sucker for validation, i’m posting it again :) i hope you enjoy!
masterlist
james
Tumblr media
- james is constantly drunk on life
- needs no alcohol to have fun
- don’t get me wrong, he drinks at parties
- but his main goal is for everyone else to have fun
- he has such a big heart, even when there's fire whiskey being pumped from it
- he will only rest when remus is at least buzzed, then he will allow himself to let loose a bit more than usual
- is a social drunk at the beginning
- says hi to everyone, and introduces you to them as if you don’t go to the same school
“this is my girl, y/n”
“we’re aware of who she is, prongs”
- once he's made his rounds and embarrassed you a handful of times, he gets wild
- does sirius have something to do with it? duh.
- any idea sirius proposes, james is down for
“let’s go get your broom and fly around the common room”
“okay!”
- or
“let’s go invite peeves”
“sure!”
- once james has had his fix of attention from everyone else, you can’t get him away from you
- not that you’re complaining or anything
- he keeps you closer than usual
- if you’re sitting down, he pulls you onto his lap
- if you’re standing beside him, he pulls you in front of him and wraps his arms around you from behind
- when someone comes up to talk to you, he becomes throughly annoyed
- he tries to be patient, but when has he ever actually achieved that?
- so after a while, he just begins to sigh loudly
- the person you’re talking eventually gets the hint and leaves
- james smiles proudly and pulls you away
- he gets tired pretty easily when he’s drunk
- when he pulls you up the stairs to his dorm to sleep, of course surius points it out
“get some, prongs!” followed by a chorus of “ooh”s
- he makes the cutest mad face in the world
“i just want snuggles, pad *hiccup* foot”
- and he gets them, of course
sirius
Tumblr media
- two words: flirty drunk
- not towards everyone
- just you... and maybe james
- wastes no time in sipping
- had two drinks down before the party even starts
- terrible pickup lines
- i mean, truly horrible
- he gets upset when you aren’t impressed
- extremely touchy
- we’re talking ten times touchiest than usual
- plays with your fingers when you’re sitting down together
- hugs you when you’re standing up
- and he usually seems like he’s going to crash pretty early on in the night
- but then he gets a random burst of energy and you don’t see him for an hour or two
- which you don’t mind, the quiet is kind of nice
- but then he comes back with peeves and chaos ensues
- this boy loves attention
- he needs everyone to like him so much
- but like, you more than anything
- so when it’s his turn to do karaoke, he shows out
- he stays focused on his little performance, but sneaks glances at you to make sure you’re watching him
- and smiling
- he inevitably crashes again
- then he’s touchy again
- which means he’s sleepy
- but he doesn’t want to go to sleep, because he’s having fuuuun
- tries to get more to drink, but you’re not having it
- pouts
- gets even more flirty, because now he’s drunk AND sleepy
“i love you. most ardently.”
“did you just quote pride and prejudice”
“no, i made that up.”
- sure you did sirius, sure you did
remus
Tumblr media
- oh boy
- fully refused to drink
- because “don’t you remember what happened last time?”
- drama queen
- but when your bestfriends are the ones who throw the party, that doesn’t go over well
- and james always makes sure he lets loose
- when you walk in, he’s already thoroughly hammered
- like, sirius is tamer than he is in the beginning
- he sees you and immediately runs up to you
“everyone, y/n’s here!”
- gives you the biggest hug, as if he hadn’t seen you in ages
- remus is the funniest person of all time
- so when he’s drunk, he may as well be a working comedian
- when sirius flirts with everyone at the party, including him, he calls him a dog
- when james is upset because lily won’t give him the attention he needs, remus says he’ll just have to “go stag” for a little while longer
- which only makes sense to a certain group of people, but he gets laughs nonetheless
- pda
- very much
- because he can’t help it
- he sees you and he gets super happy and he wants to kiss you
- and he’s drunk, so he has very little sense of self awareness
- sirius makes fun of him when you call him ‘bub’
- so he gets embarrassed and pretends he doesn’t like it
- but then when you’re alone, he tells you he likes it
- he tells at least four different people a different story about how he got his scars
“i’m actually a ninja”
“i’m telling you, y/n gets-” remus john lupin!”
- does not want to go to sleep
- ever
- which you tell him he will indeed regret in the morning
- he likes to play bartender
- and of course he has to also be the taste tester, which doesn’t help the whole drunk thing
- he gets you to try one of his concoctions that he swears is good
“mus, this tastes terrible”
“i stopped tasting it a while ago, love”
- the last person to leave the party
- hands down
- if you didn’t see it firsthand, you wouldn’t believe it
- you drag your little social drink off to bed after even sirius retires for the night
- and he protests the whole time
- but passes out as soon as his head hits the pillow
- dork

Tumblr media
“Well isn’t it the man of the hour,” Sirius started up as soon as Remus walked through the door to their room. Remus just rolled his eyes and continued towards his bed.
“And we thought you were the lady’s man Pads,” James teased.
Under any other circumstances, the comment would have gotten a reaction out of Sirius, who nodded his head in agreement.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Remus objected, knowing exactly what they were talking about.
“So you weren’t holding Y/n’s hand in the library?” Peter joined in on the teasing.
“Is that what he told you?” Remus, uncharacteristically unbothered, didn’t even look up from the pajamas he was beginning to pick out.
“Well that’s all I got to see before I was forced to leave. Which…” Sirius paused for dramatic affect, turning to the marauders as if he was in the middle of a presentation. “is a little suspicious, I might add.”
Remus huffed, standing back up to his full height and making a beeline to the bathroom before Sirius could embarrass his any further.
Sirius’ comment, of course, was met with murmurs of agreement, quickly followed by questions of what the hand holding escalated to.
Before they could get an answer out of him, Remus shut the bathroom door. Resting the back of his head against the door, he couldn’t repress the small smile that spread across his face as he imagined what their next encounter would entail.

The following morning, Y/n was making her way to class far earlier than her classmates. She was going to make sure that Mcgonagall wouldn’t be cross with her again.
Focusing on making it to her class, she didn’t notice James and Sirius running down the hallway in the opposite direction. In their efforts to get away from Filch, they hadn’t noticed her either.
Sirius ran directly into her, managing to catch her before she tumbled to the ground. Holding her up by the waist, he couldn’t hold back his snide remark.
“Woah there love, one Marauder at a time.”
James chuckled from behind him, but made sure to ask her if she was okay nonetheless.
Sirius reached down to grab her books for her, but before she could grab them he pulled them back.
“There’s a party in the Gryffindor common room tonight,” he started.
“There’s always a party in the Gryffindor common room,” Y/n rolled her eyes.
“Let me finish,” he continued impatiently, still wanting to get away with whatever he and James had accomplished.
“Remus wants you to go,” Sirius smirked, knowing full well Remus didn’t even want to go.
“Really?” she asked a little too eagerly. “Did he say that?” she spoke more calmly, asking more towards James. She thought he seemed a little more honest. James smiled at her and shook his head ‘yes’.
A wide grin spread out over her face. “Tell him I’ll be there.”
Sirius discreetly gave James a high-five behind his back. Y/n turned back to continue to her class, and to stop the pair from noticing her blush.
“Transfiguration is that way, love,” Sirius chastised, him and James walking on either of her sides.
She blushed even harder, softly letting out a “right” before turning around and scurrying off to class. When the boys were out of sight, she let herself relax. Making sure she was alone, she let out a small squeal.
Rounding the corner, she came face to face with Filch, who gave her a strange look. She knew then that he had heard her; all she could do was drop her head to repress her laugh, and continue walking.
———————————————————————
Out of all the house parties Y/n had attended, Gryffindor’s were always the loudest. Upon walking in, it took a few seconds for her ears to adjust.
Before she could grab herself a drink, a clearly drunk Marlene ran up to her and hugged her.
“Do you need a drink?” she asked, her lack of personal space due to her drunkenness evident. She swiftly thrusted a cup into Y/n’s hands.
Y/n looked into it, confused at the dark brown liquid that definitely wasn’t butterbeer or fire whiskey.
“What is this?” she asked, looking up to see that Marlene had run off to hug someone else. She decided that she would throw the drink out before taking any chances.
Walking over to the garbage can, she noticed Remus was pouring whatever liquid was in his drink out as well.
As they made eye contact, the loud voices seemed to die down. The pair strapped out of their trance after what seemed like a lifetime. Remus brought his hand up to the back of his neck and rubbed nervously.
“Marlene?” he gestured to her cup.
“Who else?” she laughed.
Remus knew that if he didn’t start talking again, the pair would settle into an uncomfortable silence and Y/n would inevitably walk away.
“I like your eyes,” he rushed out, immediately regretting it. “I mean, they’re pretty. You have pretty eyes,” Remus cringed. He looked towards his feet, his ears turned a light shade of red.
He looked up when he heard Y/n start to giggle at him.
“What?” he questioned, a small smirk replacing his grimace.
“You’re cute,” she responded, smiling fondly up at the boy.
They found themselves smiling at eachother dumbly just as they had been doing earlier, when someone bumped into Y/n, pushing her up against Remus’ chest.
He looked down at her. First her eyes, then her lips. He wanted to kiss her more than anything else at that moment. His hands slowly made their way to her sides, as he leaned down until he was a centimeter from her face.
His shoulder was suddenly yanked back by an incredibly drunk Sirius, who was screaming about something that Remus just had to see.
When Sirius noticed what he had interrupted, he quickly retreated with wide eyes, yellin “James, you’re not going to believe this.”
Just like the night at the library, Remus found himself apologizing for his friend.
“Does he always interrupt you like that?”
“Always,” he nodded his head in annoyance.
“I’m sorry about him. Again,” Remus chuckled, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
“It’s fine Remus, I should probably head out anyways. It’s pretty late,” she gestured towards the portrait of the Fat Lady.
“I can walk you, if you’d like.” Remus knew that it would take a miracle for him to build up this much courage again, and he didn’t want to waste it.
“I’d rather you walk me to Hogsmeade tomorrow,” she responded, looking at him through her lashes. Remus, shocked that the same shy girl he had known since first year had just said something so bold, laughed out loud.
“But don’t feel like you have to or anything!” she quickly added, confusing his amusement with rejection.
“I’ll meet you there?”
With their newfound plans in order, Y/n walked out of the Gryffindor common room towards her own. And although she hadn’t drunk whatever was in the cup Marlene had given her, she felt hopelessly intoxicated.
———————————————————————
The whole walk to Hogsmeade, Y/n had only made her nerves worse. She didn’t know when she would be meeting Remus, so she decided to get there as early as possible so as not to make him wait.
However, that may not have been the best idea. An hour into her Hogsmeade trip and Y/n was bored out of her mind. There was still no sign of Remus, and she was starting to get cold.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure approaching her. Her stomach flipped in excitement, ready for her date with Remus. When the figure got closer, she realized it was not Remus at all. It was Tiberius.
She swore that boy had some kind of sense that told him when she was alone.
“Hello beautiful!” he made sure to grab her attention before she could run off.
“Hello McLaggen,” she tried her hardest to be nice.
“Wonderful weather out, isn’t it?” he stood directly in front of her now, smirking at her.
“It’s a little cold actually,” she mumbled, folding her arms together against her chest for warmth.
“I can help with that,” Tiberius replied, throwing an arm around the girl's shoulder.
“It’s fine Tiberius, you don’t have to do that,” she spoke, sounding a lot more uncomfortable than she had planned on sounding.
“Nonsense. Feel free to move a little closer if–,” before he could finish his advances, his arm was removed from around Y/n.
Remus stood behind the pair, seemingly annoyed. “I think I overheard her tell you to bugger off.”
“She didn’t say that, actually,” McLaggen pointed out matter of factly.
“Well then, bugger off,” Remus sent him a warning glare, wrapping his arm around Y/n’s waist and pulling her close to his side.
McLaggen begrudgingly walked away. Remus suddenly felt a twinge of guilt. Not for his classmate, but for Y/n. Had he misinterpreted this whole thing?
Before he could lose himself in his own thoughts, Y/n grabbed his hand and pulled him away towards a shop.
“Oh wait, I forgot something.” she turned towards the boy who was being dragged behind her.
He hummed in response, not breaking his eyes away from their interlocked fingers.
Y/n moved her head so that she was in Remus’ field of vision, and smiled up at him. She let go of Remus’ hand, and he was going to protest, until she snaked her arms around his neck. As if by instinct, his hands found their way to her hips. She reached up and gave him a small peck on the lips.
Remus had not been expecting that. He hadn’t even had time to kiss her back. So, he bent down and kissed her back. Properly.
Pulling away from her, Remus rested his forehead against hers and once again interlaced their fingers.
“I like the way that looks,” Remus glanced from their hands to her eyes, smiling shyly.
“What?” Y/n whispered, scared that if she spoke any louder it would ruin the moment.
“Your hand in mine,” he responded, placing a gentle kiss onto her nose.
