teacher remus noticing reader is upset and asks them what's wrong after which reader basically comes out as trans (ftm)?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
acceptance; remus lupin
synopsis: remus's student confides in him something that's been plaguing them.
warnings: PLATONIC RELATIONSHIP, father figure remus ong, trans (ftm) reader, f/n: friend name, f/n doesn't know y/n is trans
reader's pronouns: he/him
"y/n?"
y/n looked up. he had been stuck in That Feeling for the third day in a row now, and it was hurting him. he was forgetting to do basic tasks such as eat and make your bed. he was barely talking, and had no will to go to classes.
"yeah?" he croaked, suddenly aware of the class's eyes on him.
f/n eyed him. "are you okay?"
y/n nodded. "yeah, yeah i'm fine."
turning f/n nodded to professor lupin. "she's fine."
y/n visibly shrunk back at being referred to as "she". the fucking pronouns followed him everywhere, tormenting him and telling him he wasn't a "him", but a "her". it made him feel a way that he couldn't describe.
at least the lesson continued, and all eyes moved back to lupin.
y/n spent the rest of the class in an uncontrollable daze. his head was spinning, but not quite enough to want to get up and leave. though not soon enough, class was dismissed.
the milling of students past him finally grounded y/n back, but his name being called alarmed him.
"y/n? will you stay for a little bit?" professor lupin asked, scarred face patiently awaiting the answer he knows he'll get.
y/n swallowed. "yeah."
once the last pupil was out of the room, remus turned to his desk and waved his hand. within moments, two steaming mugs appeared side by side.
"cocoa?" the professor asked with a smile. "i know it isn't really the season for that, but i think you'd like this better than the tea i've been drinking lately," remus explains. y/n slowly stands up, and takes the cup from the professor's hands.
"oh don't worry. there's no truth serum in this, i solemnly swear." remus stated before taking a sip.
"so, dear child, what's been on your mind as of late?" remus finally asked.
y/n looked down, back slouched violently. "i- it's truly nothing. just stress, i guess."
it was a pity y/n was a bad liar when upset. "i won't judge. i simply want to know what the change in attitude is about," remus explained, eyes trained on the teen in front of him. "if this is a family thing... well, i had a friend who... if it's a family thing just say so and i'll leave you alone of you so please."
y/n felt horrible. he felt like the professor genuinely cared. and all the emotion in his voice was stabbing y/n in the heart. "i'm trans- transgender," y/n whispered, eyes to the floor.
he barely registered the mug being taken from his hand, or remus leading him gently to the floor, but he didn't realize he was openly bawling into his professor's arms. "i'm trans, professor," he sobbed, gasping on air.
remus soothingly shushed his cries, and patted his back in a fatherly way. it pained remus to see one of his favorite students so upset.
five minutes flew by. y/n sniffed miserably as he harshly wiped tears from his eyes. "are-are you gonna t-tell dumbledore?"
"would you like me to?" remus asked.
y/n shook his head.
"what do you go by?" remus asked quietly.
"still y/n but i'm thinking of going by something else. my, uh, pronouns, though, are he/him," y/n explained, fingers knotting together. he hadn't told anyone that he was trans. this was huge.
remus smiled. "would you like me to use your pronouns in front of the class?"
y/n nodded. he hadn't thought of that question, but maybe hearing his pronouns from his favorite professor would help validate him.
remus grabbed the desk to help him up. grabbing the teen's hand, remus pulled y/n up. "i may have... something that could help make your voice lower..."
y/n looked up, wide-eyed. "really?"
the professor smiled at y/n's glee. "yes. it's a potion that i can give you the recipe too, but i don't have the ingredients," remus explained, summoning some potion book.
flipping through pages, remus finally found the page. grabbing a piece of paper, remus enchanted a quill to copy down ingredients, the process of making the potion, and when and how to drink.
y/n gingerly accepted the paper. "i- i really don't know what to say, professor...'' he trailed off.
"just a simple assurance that you'll be smiling tomorrow is all i need," remus chuckled, nudging y/n gently in the arm.
y/n felt wholly accepted by professor lupin, and the feeling made him want to cry again.
but all y/n could do was smile in gratitude and hope lupin knew how much this meant to him.

Barty Crouch Jr had been driven to madness after all his time in Azkaban, but he had never felt so sane at the feeling of utter agony that overcame him when he was faced with teaching Luna Lovegood.
She looked just like her mother.

I'm watching the Order of the Phoenix again, and I feel like a proud mom watching Harry teach DADA. He was born for this, and he is so kind and supporting, and he looks the happiest. I don't know why Rowling made him fight bad guys for the rest of his life by making him an Auror. He deserved to be a professor and live at Hogwarts for the rest of his life. It was his home.

It took me far too long to realise that Remus gives Harry chocolate after he encounters Dementors because Dementors suck out your happiness and chocolate makes your brain release the happy chemicals.

If James and Lily lived and Peter wasnt a servant of Voldemort and Sirius didnt go to azkaban. They would 100% sneak into hogwarts whenever Remus was teaching Harry's class and just pop outta nowhere
Remus: Good job on today's patronus charm everyone. You all did wel-
James outta nowhere : What a howling experience ProFFeSoR!
Remus: Wha-
Harry: Dad?
Sirius also popping outta nowhere: I am really lycan this class
Remus: Can't you see I am teachi-
Peter: Yes we are definitely a-ware of that
Remus: ....
James: Alright anybody wanna see us wrestle the giant squid?
Remus: facepalms

You know what I want?
I want an AU where both Remus and Sirius survive the war. Remus goes back to being the DADA teacher and after the full moon Sirius takes care of the class. I also believe that if there is a subject Sirius knows that Remus likes to teach that he would skip it and let him teach it.
