Summary: The request sums it up, read it hoe Pairing: Remus Lupin x reader Warnings: Alcohol consumption and that's all I can think abt hehe Word Count: 4.5K (i'm sorry) Requested: Yes

A/N: I'm absolutely sobbing. This is so cute!!! I'm using the Reggie was a spy for the order wild card and roll with that. Tysm for this awesome idea, nonnie! And sorry it took so long.

Remus knew magic existed, the type of magic that opens doors, gives you luck or disarms someone. But until he met her, he didn't know there was a type of magic that could be contained in someone's eyes, someone's smile, or even in that little quirk she had of squinting every time she focused.

Y/N Y/L/N. Even her name felt like the sweetest honey when it rolled off your tongue and into the air, he figured. She was a new kind of magic and Remus was hooked from the get go. They had met on a rather peculiar set of circumstances. When Moony first got to college, he had no friends or anyone nearby to help him cope with the abrupt transition. The boys visited as much as they could, but it'd be for about an hour or two before they had to go back to the ministry.

So, as he did when he arrived at Hogwarts, Remus found solace in reading and taking his wolfsbane at appropriate times. He was doing a classics mayor and reading the Plato classics was a convenient way to kill time while doing something productive. The boy spent hours in the library, sitting on the couches or getting some annotations done on the desks; he'd be done with the school's classics collection before the semester was over if he kept that pace.

He would have if he hadn't found those notes. Remus first noticed them in a worn copy of a compilation from a specific period of Plato's scripts, the third page in Philebus. "Socrates is being very reductive. I don't like it. Out of character, I do declare" written in red ink, cursive letters delicate in the ripped white paper.

He giggled at that, his thoughts exactly. Moony picked the piece of paper and examined it to see if it had any indications of who might've written it, but he found nothing. He only knew that the person who wrote it had a ruined red pen; the stains of ink sitting messily on the opposite side of the annotation. Remus was a sucker for mystery stories and he viewed this as an opportunity of having one of his own!

A short-lived one, since he cracked the case when a pretty girl on his history of philosophy class asked around for a red pen. Remus frantically but quietly rummaged through his satchel and found one just in time.

He rushed to her, offering it out “Here” he smiled, looking down at her as she looked up at him. “Thanks… Remus isn’t it? I don’t think I’ve had the pleasure. Y/N Y/L/N”. Y/N introduced herself, offering her hand out. Stained in red. The boy stared shocked at the realization this was the person he’d been looking for.

“Oh shit m’sorry, it looks like I committed a murder or something. My pen started leaking yesterday while I was studying in the library” She laughed and Remus swore he’d faint if he hadn’t gripped her hand. “Actually…” Remus started, searching in his pocket for the piece of paper he kept, when he finally found it, he showed it to her and a smile broke on those pretty lips.

“…I hope you don’t mind! I-I kept it. Been looking for you, it made me laugh” He admitted, handing it to her “You found me then! And, you’re very much welcome to keep it, Remus” Y/N grinned and Remus mirrored her expression sweetly. They met for coffee the next day. The day after that, they studied together. And the week after, they shared lunch.

About two months after they talked for the first time, they had gone on a date every single week. From museum outings to walks around campus if one of them didn't have much time. They also sat together in philosophy and, turns out, literature (which they realized they shared after).

Y/N gifted him a cool rock once, and he kissed her.

He kept the rock in his pocket ever since.

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

"Come on, mate, you gotta tell us who she is!" James exclaimed, his excitement palpable as he repeatedly patted the worn wooden bar in the cozy pub they had agreed to meet at. Remus chuckled and shook his head, a fond smile dancing on his lips as he took another sip of his whiskey.

"You've been talking non-stop about her since you two met! The last three times we've seen each other, it's been Y/N this, Y/N that. We've gotta meet the missus," Sirius playfully teased, giving Remus a light shove with his shoulder.

Rolling his eyes playfully, Remus glanced at his friends, grateful for their persistent curiosity but also hesitant to share too much. "Oh, Pads, don't call her that! We're not even official yet, and I doubt we'll ever be. She'll find someone, alright, but I'm just good old Remus," he replied, a hint of wistfulness shadowing his gaze.

It was true; good old Remus had learned how to stop caring about what other people thought of him, but that didn't mean he was entirely confident about who he was.

Navigating the Muggle world presented its own set of challenges for Remus. He knew that at some point, he would have to confront the whole "Hey, I'm a wizard, and there's this whole other world you don't know about, hope you don't mind!" situation with Y/N.

Then there were the lingering money issues that weighed on his mind. College was not cheap, but he had managed to secure a decent scholarship, which alleviated some of the burden. He hoped Y/N wouldn't care about his financial situation. And, of course, there was the delicate matter of revealing his true nature as a literal werewolf. How would she react when she found out?

Yeah.

He was good old Remus: poor Remus, monster Remus, scarred Remus, wizard Remus. If he were honest with himself, he was surprised they had made it past the first day, considering he had stupidly worn a short-sleeved t-shirt without anything to conceal the telltale signs of his condition.

But she noticed the perceptive and kind-hearted soul that she was, and she chose not to mention it. In that moment, Remus couldn't help but imagine the possibilities, but he also knew that reality had a way of reminding him of his limitations. Moony knew he would never be able to claim her as his own. Not in this lifetime, not in the next.

For now, he chose to cherish the moments they shared, basking in her laughter and marveling at the way her hair defied gravity with its radiant beauty. She was his bit of magic in a world that often seemed devoid of it. Deep down, however, he couldn't shake the nagging certainty that good things didn't last for boys like him—boys with tragedy coursing through their veins.

"Yeah, no. We're not doing this shit again," Sirius declared, shaking his head in disagreement. Remus's best friends had grown accustomed to his self-deprecating tendencies and were determined to lift his spirits. Remus might have been a mysterious figure to some, but to the Marauders, he was an open book, their brother.

"That's why she likes you, mate. You're good old amazing, lovely, smart, hot Remus!" James proclaimed with a boisterous cheer, pulling Remus into a tight embrace. "Tell you what, bring her to Harry's birthday party this weekend! I'm sure Lily won't mind," he suggested, his mischievous grin widening. Sirius enthusiastically chimed in, nodding in agreement. "Just ask her first and let me know, okay? I don't want Harry to have a bad time becaus-"

"Oh, Moons, the party is more for us than for him! He'll be out like a light by eight, and we'll get wasted like we always do," Prongs interjected, his infectious laughter filling the air, causing Remus to join in, his worries momentarily forgotten in the camaraderie of his friends.

There was no way out of this one, not that he sought an escape. Remus couldn't blame his best friends for their eagerness to meet Y/N. They knew him better than anyone, and they could see the spark of happiness she had ignited within him. Moony did little to hide his excitement, his heart fluttering with the hope that maybe, just maybe, things would work out.

Now, he just needed Lily's approval so he could gather the courage to ask the girl who had captivated his heart to accompany him to the birthday celebration—a step that held the promise of a new chapter in his life, one filled with both joy and uncertainty

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Remus nervously fiddled with the corner of his book, stealing glances at Y/N across the library. The soft rays of afternoon sunlight filtered through the stained glass windows, casting a warm, golden glow on the rows of ancient tomes and the elegant wooden shelves that lined the room. But in that moment, all Remus could see was Y/N, a radiant presence amidst the tranquil surroundings.

Summoning his courage, Remus took a deep breath and approached her table. The scent of old parchment mingled with the delicate fragrance of her perfume, creating an intoxicating blend that filled his senses. As he neared, he couldn't help but notice the way her eyes sparkled with intelligence and curiosity as she immersed herself in the world of words. Her hair cascaded down in gentle waves, its hue reminiscent of auburn leaves in autumn, and he found himself captivated by the way it framed her face, enhancing her natural beauty.

"Hey, love," Remus greeted her with a warm smile, trying his best to appear at ease. "Mind if I join you for a moment?"

Y/N looked up, a surprised yet welcoming expression crossing her features. Her eyes met Remus's, and a playful glimmer danced within their depths. She gestured to the seat across from her, her voice laced with gentle humor. "Well, if you insist. But only if you promise not to distract me from my riveting studies."

Remus chuckled, grateful for her light-hearted response. He took the offered seat, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders. "I'll do my best to behave, I promise," he replied, a twinkle in his own eyes. "But I do have something on my mind that I wanted to ask you."

Y/N raised an eyebrow. Her curiosity piqued. "Oh, really? Well, go on then. I'm all ears."

"There's a little someone's birthday coming up this weekend," Remus began, his voice filled with playful anticipation. "Harry, James' adorable son, is turning two years old. And, well, I was wondering if you'd like to come with me to the party."

Y/N's face lit up with a mixture of surprise and delight, her smile contagious. "Are you asking me to crash a toddler's birthday party? That sounds like a dangerous proposition," she teased, her tone lighthearted.

Remus laughed, his nerves easing with every moment of their easy banter. "Well, I can promise you that the party will be more entertaining than dangerous," he quipped, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "There'll be cake, balloons, and probably a fair amount of chaos. It's a chance to embrace your inner child if you want to look at it that way."

Y/N pretended to consider it, her finger tapping against her chin. "Hmm, cake, balloons, and chaos? You make a compelling case," she replied, a playful smile tugging at her lips. "How can I resist? Count me in, darling. I'd love to celebrate with you and your mates."

Remus couldn't contain his happiness, his relief flooding through him like a warm wave. "Brilliant!" he exclaimed, a genuine excitement coloring his voice. "I can't wait for you to meet everyone, t-they insisted I brought the girl I don't shut up about to the party"

Y/N smiled at that, holding Remus's hand over the table. "So you've talked to your friends about me?" "Oh shut it" He smiled, pressing a soft kiss to her lips. Right before those grey clouds of self deprecation repeating "this won't last" and "enjoy it before she realizes what you truly are" clouded his mind.

He shoved the thoughts away, holding to Y/N's smile against his lips as if it was an anchor saving him from drowning.

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Bad idea. Bad idea. Bad idea.

He really did try to plan it all neatly. From what he'd wear to how he'd introduced her to his friends. Remus even asked them to keep the magic discreet since it was all too soon for that conversation, but for fuck's sake; it all got thrown out the window when he saw her in low waisted flared pants and his Bowie shirt. "H-hey!" He smiled, almost yelling, but she just laughed at his enthusiasm.

"Hi Rem," she sighed, leaving a kiss on the corner of his lips which she left lingering a bit too long. "Ready?" "As I'll ever be!". As Y/N and Remus walked hand in hand, the excitement in the air was palpable. However, beneath her playful demeanor, Y/N couldn't shake the nerves that fluttered in her stomach. Meeting Remus's best friends felt like stepping into a new world, and the fear of not fitting in or being accepted gnawed at her.

She stole a quick glance at Remus, hoping he wouldn't notice the physical manifestations of her anxiety. The last thing she wanted was to burden him with her own inner turmoil. But even as she tried to compose herself, her voice wavered slightly as she spoke.

"Remus, I can't deny that I'm feeling a bit... off," she admitted, her words stumbling over her nervousness. "My heart feels like it's racing a marathon, and there's this knot in my stomach that just won't loosen. I hope it's not too obvious." Remus turned his head towards her, a reassuring smile playing on his lips. His eyes sparkled with warmth and understanding.

"Hey, I get it," he said, his tone comforting. "Meeting new people can be nerve-wracking, and our bodies have interesting ways of letting us know. But you know what? You're doing great, sweetheart, and I'm here with you. We'll take it one step at a time, and I promise we'll have a good time together. So, let's embrace the adventure, nerves and all, and see what the night has in store for us, okay?"

Y/N nodded thankfully, the knot loosening up a little. “Thanks baby”. The world stopped in Remus’ perspective at the pet name but he just nodded and kissed her cheek. He helped. He was a warm blanket after a long day even when moments like those weren’t happening. Comfort.

They eventually got to James’ place; the loud music coming from the two floor house making Y/N feel even more at ease. It radiated a warm, welcoming energy even before stepping in. Maybe it wouldn’t be that bad.

“Deep breath”. They both took a breath before approaching the door and knocking, the wine Remus’ plus one brought close to breaking with the force she was holding it with. A bright smile opened the door, hugging Remus immediately. “You have no idea how happy I am you’re here Moony”.

Y/N smiled sweetly at the nickname the boy had for his best mate. She didn’t know where it came from but James seemed to be the sun reflecting on the moon. On Moony. The girl knew Remus’ light was enough to outshine the sun itself, but the comparison seemed cute.

“You must be Y/N! He can’t shut up about you. Can I hug you? It’s okay if not, Sirius says I need to ask before hugging people but I just love it so much I cannot help myself” He rambled, making her giggle as she uttered a small ‘It’s okay’ and hugged the boy. She noticed Remus staring and just winked at him. “Is that cake I smell?” Y/N grinned, peeking inside before James stepped aside to let them both in.

“Yes, come inside! My wife, Lily, has just finished baking her chocolate cake recipe. It’s bloody brilliant! Harry’s favorite in his short lived culinary experience. You gotta meet him too!” Moony stayed behind, cherishing the way James’ warm welcome made Y/N feel a little more comfortable; her shoulders relaxed as well as her grip on the wine bottle.

He stepped in, hanging his coat on the rack he helped Lily choose when his best friends bought the house. Rapid steps came running down the stairs, and before he turned around, the smell of cigarettes and leather filled his nostrils. “Hello Pads” he smirked, hugging his friend tightly.

“Hey Moons! Did the missus come?” “Yes, she’s outside with James and Lily-“. He was cut short when his best friend, (his eyeliner wearing, muscled, rocker, tattooed, charming best friend) ran all the way into the garden to greet the girl. He was head over heels over.

A new feeling settled into his chest. An unpleasant one. Sirius was a dream. Remus was just good old Remus. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck! He sighed heavily, ran a hand through his hair, and then covered his mouth. Y/N was not one to be too forward, but the way Sirius looked and acted could easily make her reconsider.

It got worse when he heard her loud laugh coming from the garden, followed by a chuckle that unmistakably came from Sirius. His best friend would never do it on purpose, but then again, his charm was never used on purpose. It just sort of happened. Remus sighed and walked outside to find the girl saying hi to Harry.

The toddler had his tiny hand wrapped around the girl's fingers, babbling incoherencies, as Y/N had a full conversation with him. "Are you sure?" she asked and Harry answered nonsense as the girl nodded back. She looked up at Remus coming through the sliding door. "Remus, he's the cutest thing I've ever seen!".

He laughed and walked over to her. The girl immediately wrapped her hands around his arm and hugged him tightly. James winked at Moony and went inside as the conversation ensued, Sirius teasing Remus about the girl he "brought home".

Soon, Y/N was well adapted to their friend's sense of humour and was joking around with Lily about how dumb they could all be. Despite Y/N's worries, it all went by smoothly. The one he got along with the most was James; he loved asking questions, and she loved answering them.

Remus had always loved her laugh; Seeing his best friends being the cause of it made it even better. "I'm telling you, he's insane!" Sirius laughed, bouncing his leg up and down as Harry sat on his lap giggling. "He's an absolute sweetheart" Y/N answered, kissing Remus' cheek as his best friends tried putting dirt (rightfully deserved dirt) on his name.

"Wait until you know him just a tiny bit better. You'll get to see his menacing self... got us in a shit ton of trouble back in school" James chuckled, making Remus roll his eyes and trying to divert her attention by asking if she wanted a bit more cake.

During their evening, Y/N kept a tight grasp on Remus’ hand while smiling at his friend’s jokes. When it was his turn to laugh, Sirius noticed how the girl looked intently over at Remus with a grin on her face. His eyes looked gorgeous in the sun with those little wrinkles when he giggled, she thought.

In that moment, she realized she wanted Remus to say her name as you’re supposed to say it; sleepily, with a mouth full of food, between laughters and in tears. Y/N saw the specks of brown in the amber colored lake that his eyes were and fell completely. Sirius saw it, James saw it, Lily saw it.

Even more when he turned to look down at her and wipe a bit of chocolate off her cheek, and she kept that look of utter adoration for him. “He’s gone” Lily mumbled to her husband. “She’s too” he agreed. Sirius smirked, getting up to get Harry to bed as he fell asleep on his uncle’s arms as the sun set.

James and Sirius were at the center of attention, regaling the group with a hilarious story from their time at school. Their voices were animated, and they gesticulated with enthusiasm, drawing everyone into their tale. Remus stood nearby, a mix of amusement and mild embarrassment evident on his face.

"And then, there was this one time at Hogwarts," James began, a mischievous glint in his eyes, "when we decided to prank the entire Slytherin common room! We turned all their robes into neon pink ones!"

Sirius chimed in, laughter bubbling in his voice. "Oh, it was epic! They all looked like walking flamingos! The look on their faces was priceless!"

Y/N was thoroughly entertained by the story, but she couldn't help but notice Remus's subtle blush. She leaned closer to him and whispered teasingly, "Remus, were you part of this grand pink robe conspiracy too?"

Remus grinned, shaking his head. "I plead the fifth," he replied, trying to hide his amusement. "Let's just say those were wild times, and I may or may not have been an innocent bystander."

Y/N laughed, enjoying the playful banter. She was captivated by the camaraderie and genuine friendship between the group. As the evening continued, she found herself drawn into more anecdotes and laughter, feeling a sense of warmth and acceptance in their company.

Remus's friends made her feel welcome and included, and she couldn't help but feel grateful for being a part of this close-knit circle, even if she didn't know the full extent of their world. The nerves that had accompanied her earlier had transformed into excitement and a genuine desire to create new memories with Remus and his friends.

The feeling was reciprocated. Remus felt, and not on mere theory; the moment Y/N excused herself to go to the bathroom, his best friends started gushing to him about the girl. "Moony, she's in love" Sirius said between incredulous and joyous laugh "Oh Pad-" "Mate, I'm telling you... she looks at you like you hung the bloody stars!" now said James, Lily nodding pridefully "She looks at you just how James looked at me back in the day".

And Merlin did he want to believe them! He truly, really did. But instead, there was this empty feeling on his chest. There was no way Y/N Y/L/N looked at him in the way James looked at Lily; Almost scared of the joy she brought to him, like that pain in his heart would end up killing him and he'd quite literally die a happy man. So, when Remus dropped her off at her flat and turned his head before she'd kiss him on the mouth, the void went deeper.

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Y/N couldn't sleep that night. Her mind was restless, thoughts of Remus swirling in her head like a tempest. She tossed and turned, replaying the events of the evening over and over again, each memory etching itself into her heart. There was no denying it anymore; she was utterly and completely in love with him.

The realization hit her like a wave crashing onto the shore, powerful and unstoppable; she was head over heels for Remus Lupin.

The next day, Y/N couldn't concentrate on anything. Her mind kept drifting back to Remus, like she'd could easily find herself absentmindedly doodling hearts and his name on the margins of her notebook. She needed to tell him; she couldn't keep this to herself any longer.

In the late afternoon, she gathered her courage and dialed his number, her heart pounding in her chest as she waited for him to pick up. When he finally answered, his warm voice on the other end sent shivers down her spine.

"Hey, Remus," she began, trying to sound casual despite the turmoil inside her. "I was wondering if we could meet up later? There's something I want to talk to you about." Remus's response was filled with concern. "Of course, love. Is everything alright?" "Yes, everything's fine," she reassured him. "I just... I have something to tell you, something important."

He agreed to meet at their favorite cafe later that evening, and Y/N's heart fluttered with nervous excitement. The minutes leading up to their meeting felt like an eternity, but finally, the time came. When they sat down together, Y/N took a deep breath, trying to steady her racing heart. Remus looked at her with those caring, gentle eyes, and she felt a rush of emotions wash over her.

"Remus," she began, her voice trembling slightly. "I don't even know where to start. Y-you've brought so much magic into my life. From the moment we met, I felt something special, something I couldn't quite put into words."

He listened intently, his gaze never leaving hers.

"I've never felt this way before," she continued, her cheeks flushing with emotion. "You're like a beautiful enigma, a captivating mystery that I can't get enough of. You make me laugh, you make me feel safe and cherished, and every moment with you is a treasure. You've shown me a kind of magic that I never knew existed, a magic that exists in the little things, the stolen glances, the shared laughter, and the way you hold my hand. It's like you've cast a spell on me, and I never want it to end."

Remus's eyes softened, and a tender smile graced his lips. "Y/N, you're the most incredible person I've ever met," he replied, his voice filled with emotion. "From the moment I saw your ink-stained hands, I knew you were something special. You've brought light into my life, and I can't believe that someone as amazing as you could feel this way about me."

He reached across the table and took her hand in his, their fingers interlocking like two puzzle pieces, finding their perfect fit.

"I'm not good with grand gestures or flowery words," he said, his voice a whisper. "But I can tell you this: I care about you deeply, more than I ever thought possible. You make me happy like I never imagined I'd could feel. I've fallen in love with you, Y/N, and I can't believe my luck."

Y/N's heart soared, tiny tears of joy welling up in her eyes. "Oh, Remus," she murmured, her voice choked with emotion. "I'm so in love with you too. You've shown me a kind of love I never knew existed, a love that feels like coming home. I cherish every moment with you, and I want to share my time with you, if you'll have me."

Without hesitation, Remus leaned across the table, closing the distance between them, and pressed a soft, tender kiss to her lips. It was a kiss filled with love and promise, sealing their feelings and intentions.

"I'd be honored to have you in my life, Y/N," he whispered against her lips. "You're my bit of magic in a world that can be harsh and uncertain, and I never want to let you go."

And so, in that cozy cafe, two souls found solace in each other's love. The world around them faded into the background as they basked in the enchantment of their newfound love, knowing that this kind of magic was unlike any other they had ever known. They had found something truly extraordinary in each other, a love that would stand the test of time and shine brighter than any star in the night sky.

It was your seventh year at Hogwarts, and the New Years ball was rapidly approaching. There was now one week until the ball, and anyone that didn’t have a date already was frantically asking anyone they could find. You, on the other hand, had rejected every person that asked you, deciding not to spoil your night with a random classmate that would expect a new year’s kiss from you.

The Marauders had placed their bets on which one of them would get a date first, and of course it was easy for James to ask Lily right away. He took the crown, followed by Sirius, who asked Marlene McKinnon. Peter took a while, but options became scarce as the ball got closer and girls became less picky with their choices. Remus was still without a date, but he knew that the rest of them would never leave him alone if he told them, so he lied instead. It was already bad enough that he ended up in last place, and he didn’t want to go without a date at all.

So, he told them that he had asked you, and that you said yes.

They didn't believe him, but he said that he was going to prove them wrong and that they’d just have to wait until the ball to see. That gave him enough time to actually muster up the courage to just ask you. Well, not really, but he didn’t have much of a choice. Besides, it would be less embarrassing for him to actually ask you than to admit to them that he lied about it.

─────── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───────

“Hey, L/n, wait up!” Sirius’ voice echoed out to you in the empty hallway.

You were on your way to the library to work on a project with Remus. The two of you had known each other as acquaintances for quite some time, and you eventually became friends. You were paired together for a project so you occasionally spent time with him inside and outside of class. He was planning on bringing up the ball situation to you during your session at the library, but unfortunately for him, Sirius got to you first.

Sirius jogged to catch up with you, slowing to a walk beside you. “Remus said he asked you to the New Year’s ball. Is that true?”

You peered behind his shoulder, seeing Remus frantically speed-walking to the scene. Judging by the look on his face, you decided it would probably be best to just go along with whatever was going on at the moment.

“Yes, he did.” You stated, hugging your books close to your chest.

“And you said yes?” He questioned.

“Why wouldn’t I?”

“Well, you rejected the entire school, so forgive me for being shocked.”

“He asked me, and I said yes. Can I go now? I have a project to work on.”

“It’s winter break. Why are you working on a project when you have time to relax?”

“It’s due shortly after the break is over. I’d rather do it gradually than cram it all into one night. Though I’m sure you’re the procrastinating type.”

“Yeah, yeah, go on then.” He crossed his arms, scowling.

You rolled your eyes, turning on your heel and continuing on your way to the library. Remus followed quickly behind, ignoring Sirius’ taunting as he passed by.

You entered the quiet library, finding a seat in your usual corner and setting your books down. Remus sat in front of you, cheeks pink from embarrassment.

“What was that all about?” You inquired, crossing your arms across your chest.

“Well, you see, uh…” Remus spoke, fiddling with the hem of his sweater. “We made a bet on who could get a date to the ball first, and I ended up losing, but I didn’t want them to know that I didn’t have a date at all, so I just lied. You were the first person that came to mind, considering that you’re the only person I spend time with other than them. I’m sorry, you don’t have to go with me, I’ll just have to come clean. Though I don’t know what's more embarrassing: having to lie about having a date or admitting that I lied about it.”

“I’ll go with you, Remus. I know you’ll never hear the end of it from them if you don’t go with me. Besides, you’re the only person that I wouldn’t mind going with.” You said, registering your own words a moment too late. “I just mean that you’re the only one that isn’t obnoxious, and I know you won’t ruin the night for me.”

“Right, of course. Well, if it’s really no trouble, then I’d love to go with you. And not just because they’d bully me if I didn’t.” Remus admitted, offering you a warm smile.

You felt your cheeks heat up at his words. You knew that you didn’t just accept his invitation to save him from torment: honestly, you’d love to go with him. Your idea of a dreadful New Year’s kiss with a stranger was quickly turning into a wish that Remus would kiss you at midnight.

You nodded, offering him a smile. “Alright. I suppose we should get to work.”

─────── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───────

It was New Year’s Eve, and it was time to make your way to the ball together. Remus waited outside of your common room, holding a bouquet of flowers and pacing back and forth nervously. You were feeling the same nervousness as him, butterflies swarming in your stomach as you gathered the courage to finally meet him in the hallway.

As you stepped out of your common room, Remus’ face lit up at the sight of you. He cleared his throat, offering you the flowers. “You look beautiful, Y/n. Positively radiant.”

“Thank you.” You grinned, accepting the flowers and putting them in your bottomless bag. “You look great too. I don’t understand why Sirius gets all of the attention in your group, you’re just as handsome, if not even more.”

He chuckled bashfully, offering you his arm. “I appreciate that, but don’t let him hear it. He’ll resent you for the rest of his life.”

“Got it. Don’t tell Sirius. Shall we go?” You took his arm, beginning to walk with him to the Great Hall.

─────── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───────

You spent most of the night chatting about your lives and sharing punch with firewhiskey in it (courtesy of Sirius).

“So you weren’t lying when you said you were taking Y/n L/n as your date.” James quipped. “I didn’t think you had it in you.”

“Why would I lie? Remus asked, shooting you a sly grin.

The clock was ticking close to midnight, and everyone gathered in the middle of the great hall awaiting the countdown.

“Are you ready, Y/n? It’s our last New Year’s ball at Hogwarts.” Remus asked, looking at you.

“Ready as I’ll ever be. I can’t believe we’re so close to graduation and I went all these years without a New Year’s kiss.”

Remus’ stomach fluttered at your words, though he hid it well. “We could always change that.”

Stunned at his words, you stared up at him, not even noticing the countdown beginning around you. You were snapped back to the present by the crowd roaring the last few numbers.

5…4…3…2…1…

Fireworks erupted above you as the students cheered and yelled out “Happy New Year!”. Students waved their sparklers in the air while others embraced each other.

Remus, however, didn’t take his eyes off of you, and you were fixated on him too. He glanced at your lips, as if asking for permission, and you instinctively nodded. Without further hesitation, he brought his hand behind your head, pulling you in for a gentle kiss.

Time seemed to stop as he kissed you, and your hands settled on his back to hold him close. After a few moments, he pulled away, smiling down at you.

“Happy New Year, Y/n.”

masterlist/ marauders masterlist / navigation / taglist

── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.─── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.───･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.──

The dorm was silent, the boys decided to leave the both of you so Remus could rest properly. The full moon had happened a couple of days ago and it was the first night he spent out of the infirmary, his wounds weren’t so deep this time and he was able to move properly quickly.

But he was still exhausted and needed you by his side. His head was resting on your chest, sleeping peacefully as you just woke up. You looked down at him, relieved his pain wasn’t so crippling he couldn’t sleep serenely.

Slowly, without any sound, not willing to disturb his slumber, you brought your hand to his brown hair, playing with his curls as you waited for him to surface.

After a few minutes of head massages, Remus finally opened his eyes, a smile immediately drawing on his lips when he saw you “Hi” he breathed in a quiet voice.

As softly as him, you answered “Good morning” Remus’ head buried further into your chest, creating his own little bubble of comfort, forgetting about the wounding night that happened not so long ago for a moment.

It was always the effect you had on him, it’s been years since it was his favourite way of coping with the after-effects of the transformation night. You were both in your last year and Remus only hoped to have you by his side even after the end of Hogwarts.

And it’s funny how Remus’ mind always found a way to make him panic instead of being happy. Therefore, when he thought about your common future, it felt like an entire world was crashing into him. What if you didn’t want him anymore? What if you had enough of him and his problem? What if you finally understand you were dating a monster?

He couldn’t register the number of questions that were rushing through his mind at the moment. But, unfortunately for him, his interior chaos was described exteriorly by the way his eyebrows creased and bit his lower lip.

“Remus?” you called for maybe the third time before he zoned back in “What’s going on?” you offered an all warmth and reassurance smile.

He hated he had to ruin a good moment just because he was insecure. “Um… Nothing- just,” he didn’t want to keep his worry to himself this time. Communication was something he was working on and you were more than happy to see he opened up to you more and more “I wonder what we will be like older. I mean, I hope my condition is not going to push you away someday”

Your grin turned into a sad smile “Oh baby” you cooed, your hand coming to stroke his cheek “What would you think this?” you whispered, your lips resting on his forehead.

“Well- what if you want children and they end up like me” it’s when you didn’t answer anything he realised it was the first time one of you ever brought out the subject of having kids.

Of course, this idea occurred to you, but you just brushed it out, you thought it was too early to think about this. And as Remus pronounced these words, you understood he thought about it and you couldn’t help but feel a warm sensation in your chest. You always tell each other everything, but this was maybe the most intimate revelation, it came from the bottom of his heart and was the deepest proof of love he could ever give. Somehow, you felt like you were at the beginning of your relationship when the smallest compliment would make your cheeks burn.

When you focused back on Remus, his cheeks were burning and red “I- I mean if you want to have children” he was barely audible, avoiding your stare.

You could look down at Remus, a little surprised. You and he were the oldest couple in your friend group, you’d been dating for two years and you could understand Remus wanted you in your life, he didn’t just see you as a teen romance.

Suddenly all flustered, you whispered “I don’t care if our… kids are werewolves are not. We will tell them it’s not what matters and we will help them” your voice was so quiet, not realising yet Remus loved you this much.

On his side, Remus never felt so grateful to have you, you were the most kind-hearted person he ever knew. But your voice cut him out of his thoughts again, your voice so so quiet and so so shy “I mean as long as they’re from you” that was probably the most adorable thing he had ever heard.

He propped himself on his elbows, looking at you in the eyes “You-” it was a little weird to say it out loud, he always thought a normal family life was for others, that it wasn’t accessible to him “You want to have kids with me?” he responded as quiet as you.

You weren’t a timid type of person but right now you were melting under him “Yeah” you breathed. It was a new stage in your relationship, there was the first kiss, the first “i love you”, the first night but this was so much more powerful and meaningful than anything you went through.

Remus smiled all soft and warm, his head resting on your chest again. It was such a nice feeling to finally have access to the love story he always dreamt about, the love story he never thought he could reach.

The comfortable silence took its place again. Both of your minds rushed in thought about whatever could happen to you later “Do you…” Remus started, as unsure as before “Do you think about getting… married?” he squinted his eyes, waiting for your answer.

“Yeah” you could only smile at the idea “Do you?”

“Mmh” Remus hummed, holding you a little tighter before rolling on the mattress so you were the one at the top. He tucked a strand of hair behind your ear “What do you think we will be like when we are older?”

Your lips curled into a smile “We will have a house next to the woods. I will bake on Sunday your favourite sourdough bread and we will have a library and we will read to each other when it rains. Also, we will have cats”

“Cats”

“Yup” you grinned, giving Remus’ lips a small peck. You look at each other in silence. Still a little unconfident about the revelations, you buried your head in his neck, and he gently played with your hair.

Remus kissed your temple, resting his lips there “You know, I love you and I thought everything I said” you said, tracing the new scar on his chest.

Remus could almost cry from so much love and consideration, you filled his heart with warm every day and he never wanted this feeling to stop “I love you too”

in which everyone thinks you and sirius are dating

“you guys are such a cute couple.” sighs marlene as she watches you pick out the nasty bits of your stew and put them carefully on sirius’ plate. in turn, sirius makes sure to pass you your favorite pastry, which was just out of your reach.

“we aren’t a couple, mar.” you look up from your stew to reply. marlene blinks in surprise.

“wait, you aren’t?” she asks suspiciously, almost as though she didn’t believe you. she looked to sirius.

“we might as well be, hm?” sirius grinned at you, his face quite invading your personal space.

“we aren’t a couple,” you repeat, shoving his head away with an eye roll and a smile.

“you’re no fun.”

“okay.” you agree, then promptly go to take back the stew bits.

“oi!” sirius protested. “i take it back, geez!” you raise an eyebrow as you lift your fork up, giving him access to the little tidbits of food again. it was such a curious part of sirius— he could easily get more stew, but he insisted on taking your handouts.

“so you guys really aren’t a couple?” marlene leaned closer. “but the entire school thinks it. you lot are practically glued together.”

“we aren’t glued together. he’s glued to me.” you retort pointedly.

“i can’t help it.” sirius grinned smugly. “you’re just so gorgeous, i can’t not be glued to you.”

“no wonder the entire school thinks we’re a thing.” you sigh.

“wait, you aren’t a thing?” alice fortescue and her boyfriend, frank longbottom, looked over curiously.

“nope.” you replied, popping the “p” for emphasis.

“aw, let them think it, won’t you, dove?” sirius complained. “it’s so much more fun that way.”

“but i thought…” alice trailed off.

“me too.” frank agreed.

“you’re not?” a nearby hufflepuff popped her head into the conversation.

“i’m sorry, who are you?” you look at the hufflepuff, baffled. she giggled and scampered off, promptly joining a group of waiting hufflepuffs. the girl whispered into their waiting ears, and they burst into giggles. you were without a doubt that they were talking about sirius.

frankly, this was the issue with having pretty friends. peter had a gentle look about him, with round features, mussed hair because that’s what james’ hair did, and a sweet, boyish smile. james was tall (although only the third tallest of the marauders), beefy, and tan with a cute, lopsided sort of smile, and was far too oblivious to his admirerers due to his infatuation with the equally beautiful lily evans. remus had the sort of nerdy, quiet look about him that girls tended to like. fluffy, sandy hair and a tall frame paired with a surprisingly good fashion sense (something james did not have) lead to a nice view. it was a shame that people never noticed the beauty under all his scars.

and then there was sirius.

without a doubt, the prettiest boy in their year, possibly the whole school. shiny black hair that was well taken-care of, fair skin whose clearness was the envy of many acne-ridden girls, a tall frame that was lean and muscular. big hands, broad shoulders, perfect smile, cleanly shaved. smelled a bit musky, but his cologne was divin-

oh, shut up.

you nearly pinch the bridge of your nose in exasperation. you hardly even liked him like that. there’s no use sitting and thinking about how pretty he was while the other gryffindors were— well, what were they doing, anyway? the gryffindors were leaving, so, you left too, walking in step with remus.

“do people really think that we’re dating?” you ask remus as you walk, the other three boys racing ahead (more like other two, as peter was somewhat behind the more athletic boys). remus shrugged.

“i don’t care for rumors.” remus answered, perhaps somewhat stiffly, because there were plenty of rumors about him. there were rumors about all the marauders; popularity does that to you. the thing remus didn’t realize, however, was that there only ones he paid attention to (almost subconsciously) were the negative ones, despite the overwhelming amount of positive ones— as positive as rumors can get, anyway, when most of the rumors surrounding the boys related to how good they were in bed.

“however,” remus added, snapping you out of your thoughts, “i imagine they do. regardless of how you act towards padfoot, he clings to you. you understand what i mean by that, right?” you nod. sirius, the infamous playboy. he reveled in every bit of attention he was given by hopeful fans. he sat there and looked pretty. he was never the one pursuing. so, to see him trying to egg you on, get a reaction out of you— you may as well be snogging.

“i suppose so. but he flirts with everyone.” you point out.

“but he’s not so touchy with everyone. not so domestic.” remus answered. you fall silent as you and remus arrive at the common room. he had a point.

“whippersnapper,” said remus, and he held out his hand, which you took for balance as you climbed into the hole.

not so touchy with everyone. not so domestic.

huh.

girls like me | remus lupin x reader

song; girls like me [will joseph cook] pairing; remus lupin x fem!werewolf!ravenclaw!reader genre; f2l, soulmates, fluff, mild angst word count; 6,7k timeline; marauders 6th year warnings; swearing, implied self harm, assault, injuries (involving blood), insecurities, implied anxiety summary; after becoming a werewolf over the summer holidays, y/n returns to find that remus lupin, a famous marauder, has an air of attraction around him that she never noticed before

masterlist

"girls like me don't come around that much."

———————————

Y/N Lykos hadn't been born werewolf. That much was obvious. But she wasn't bitten at an awfully young age, either; she was bitten when she was sixteen years old, in the Summer holidays between her fifth and sixth years. It was a shame really, because the event had occurred during what was supposed to be a pleasant holiday to the very North of Canada, to visit family. Her distant cousins who attended Ilvermorny had warned her about there being a couple wild werewolves in the nearby forest. If only she had listened.

A midnight walk wasn't such a bad idea, right? Just a little time to escape the stress of family gatherings, and ease the mind. Y/N really should have thought more logically than to take the forest path, especially considering her high grades and therefore intelligent brain. But, alas, she did not, and wandered down the snow-laden track with the ice crunching beneath her feet. It was eery, as aside from her cold shallow breaths, her footsteps were all she could hear. Everything was quiet. Too quiet.

Eventually, instinct got the better of her, so she turned tail to begin power-walking back to her Canadian family's hidden castle. They were wealthy family members; of course, Y/N didn't have nearly the same luxury, but she wasn't fighting for money back home, either.

In the turn of a second the silence turned to the sound of twigs and rustling of leaves from the trees just beyond the path. 'It's just the wind,' Y/N thought to herself. The memory of her cousins telling her about the werewolves suddenly hurried back, making her anxiously glance up to the night sky to check and try and feel some comfort. But, there it was in all its glory: the shiny full moon. Y/N felt her breath become shaky, shivers not just from the cold shooting up her spine.

A growl.

That was unmistakably a growl.

Maybe things would have turned out differently if she hadn't frozen in fear.

White fur flashed in the corner of her eye. And then the other corner after the feeling of a swoosh behind her. It was then Y/N's eyes locked on to shimmery blue ones, except they weren't pleasant shimmery. They were glaring into her very soul as if she was just a piece of meat. Which, in all fairness, was probably exactly what she was to it. All she could do was watch as it raised its claw, most likely to take a fatal blow to her, but was cut short by another white furry monster pummelling into Y/N's side and sinking its teeth into her thigh. She yelped in pain, and momentarily accepted fate, when she saw the first werewolf attack the second.

The pair began taking part in a deadly brawl, so Y/N took the opportunity to pull out her wand and send up a massive red flare spark, now the pain had brought her back to her senses. She knew doing any more magic than that could get her in trouble, so instead began limping away with her hands providing some sort of pressure to the wound. It was pure agony, and tears streamed from her eyes while she gained little to no ground.

She must have passed out and been found before the werewolves could cause any more damage, because she had woken up back in the room she had been staying in. The bite on her thigh had been healed over, but a scar that would remain forever was still settled there.

For a solid month after that, everyone had kept an eye on Y/N but wouldn't tell her why. She wasn't dumb, and had figured it out after researching werewolves. There was a good chance that she was a werewolf. In fact, there was a very slim chance she wasn't. Every single recorded werewolf bite case had resulted in the victim becoming a werewolf.

And, sure enough, she transformed on the full moon a couple days before sixth year, during which she accidentally injured her parents. They had contacted Dumbledore on the matter, and he told her he would discuss it in person with her when she was back at school.

Needless to say, Y/N was petrified of the damage she could cause, and the rest of her life as a fucking monster.

***

Y/N was punctual as always with getting on to the Hogwarts Express, meeting her best friend, Lily Evans, in one of the cabins.

"Hey, how were your holidays?" the red-head asked.

"Good," Y/N lied, "How were yours?"

"Great!" Lily's emerald eyes sparkled, "Sev and I spent a lot of time together down by the lake."

The train got going in short time, which was, of course, when the infamous Marauders decided to show up, led by James Potter who came to confess his undying love for Lily yet again. Except, when they all entered one by one with Peter coming in last, Y/N couldn't help but notice something different. Remus smelled good. Like, really fucking good.

His almond-coloured eyes pinned on to her as she stared up at him expectantly. She noticed as his nostrils shifted, as if he were sniffing something. Plus, the atmosphere between them had changed completely: before, it was normal, a sense of mild friendship during their brief encounters. Now, there was an unprecedented tension that couldn't be described.

"So, my Lily-flower, how is life treating you?"

"Bugger off, Potter," the red-head snapped.

"Hey, Y/N," Remus greeted, taking a seat beside her without thinking about it, "What did you do over Summer?"

"I- I went to visit my relatives in Canada," she said with a small smile, but all she could focus on was Remus' voice. Rowena, had it always been that deep and attractive?

"Right, come on, Moony. Evans has kicked us out," Sirius said, pulling Remus by the roughs of his collar. The lanky boy gave one more lingering glance to Y/N, before letting himself be pulled out by his friends.

Lily sighed at her, "Be careful, hun, everyone knows Lupin can be just as bad as the rest of them, despite his 'goody two-shoes' reputation."

"Yeah- I know. Did he always smell amazing?"

"Hm? What d'you mean?"

"Do you think he got a new cologne over the holidays?"

"I don't know."

"And his voice! Has he always sounded like that?"

"Godric, Y/N, are you feeling alright?" Lily pressed her hand to Y/N's forehead, "You actually find a Marauder attractive?"

She scoffed, "Don't act like you don't secretly return Potter's feelings," which made Lily's face match her hair colour.

***

"The password is... violet beans?" Y/N frowned, looking up at the statue curiously. Sure enough, it turned around, opening up a staircase that began moving upwards. She hopped on to it, allowing herself to be taken to the top without any required effort. An oakwood door was before her, so she tapped twice.

"Come in, Miss Lykos."

Y/N opened the door, to walk into the large and beautiful headmaster's office. She stared in awe around the room, as it was her first time having ever being allowed into that secluded part of the castle.

"I believe you are aware of what I have called you here to talk about."

"Yes, professor."

"Right, well, this isn't my first time taking care of a student such as yourself. By the way, I'm terribly sorry about the accident."

"It's- it's alright, professor."

"I have arranged for a secluded locked cellar just several metres into the Forbidden Forest that you can lock before transformation. The mind of a werewolf will not have the capacity to figure out the lock on it." Dumbledore gave her the directions. "Do you think that'll be alright?"

Y/N nodded, "Yes, thank you. I'm sorry for being an inconvenience."

"Oh no, never. You're only an inconvenience if you purposely try to bother me."

"Right, if that's all, goodbye, professor."

"Yes. Have fun settling back into Hogwarts."

Meeting with Lily back in the Great Hall for dinner, Y/N took a seat at the Gryffindor table since no one ever paid any mind to her being there. It's not like she was a Slytherin, after all. "Where've you been?" she asked.

"Oh, Dumbledore wanted to talk to me," she shrugged.

"How come?"

"I'm not too sure, I wasn't paying attention," she said. Lying was something she was quickly getting used to, and while Lily narrowed her eyes at her, she didn't comment further.

"I had my first potions lesson today," the redhead began, "Slughorn gave me constant praise for my amazing potion."

"And that's bad because?"

"It gets a little annoying, and I know it'll just make it hurt more if I fail."

Y/N nodded knowingly, "I had muggle studies and transfiguration today."

"I don't know why you even took muggle studies," Lily scoffed, "Your dad's literally a muggle."

"I like to see it from a wizard's perspective."

"I suppose... hey, have you seen Potter?"

"Why? Gonna confess your love for him?"

Lily slapped her arm gently, "No, he just hasn't pestered me all day... which means he's up to something."

"I'm here, my Lily-flower!" an all-too familiar voice called out, "Did you miss me?"

"In your sweet dreams, Potter."

"Ah, Lykos, darling, how are things going?" Sirius said, surprising her as she hadn't realised he had sat down right next to her.

"Fuck off, Black."

"Harsh."

James laughed, "Come on, Padfoot, Lykos' even more stubborn than Evans. You don't stand a chance."

"Shut up, Prongs."

Unfortunately, Remus was nowhere in sight.

***

If only Y/N had elected to bring her wand to the library with her, she wouldn't be in the dilemma she was currently: attempting to obtain a book on magic history from a significantly higher shelf than her. She had jumped a couple times, but had now paused to glare at the spine of the book as if that would inspire it to cooperate. It's a shame the library magic only worked when putting books back. That was when a familiar intoxicating scent wafted up her nostrils, followed by the presence of someone tall behind her, and then a tanned and scarred hand reaching for the book she had almost declared war on.

"You need this?" Remus' voice said softly, making Y/N turn around and flush. She nodded, nervously holding out a hand to take the book. "You really are short, huh?" he commented.

"You're just freakishly tall," she mumbled, but he heard easily and chuckled.

"You know we're in a magic school, right? You coulda just- ya know."

"I left my wand in my dorm."

Remus raised an eyebrow at her, finally handing over the book but still following her over to the table she had set up camp on.

"What do you want, Lupin?" Y/N asked, but didn't really care for the answer. He was there and that was all that was required for her heart to flutter.

"Nothing," he shrugged, taking a seat.

Y/N began reading a book as did Remus, who had picked a random one off the table. Of course, with her mind being distracted by the words on the page, she was no longer actively suppressing her instinct to shift closer to Remus on the sofa they were sharing. He had leant back against the backrest, while she was hunched over the table trying to ignore his intoxicating scent. Thankfully, when she had already subconsciously shifted a few millimetres, the sound of someone biting down on something hard made her head snap in the direction of the noise. Remus.

And he had chocolate.

He arched an eyebrow at her, knowing that she was eyeing the delicious chocolatey treat in his hand. "I don't share chocolate," he said, "Everyone knows that."

"I know-"

"But-" he cut her off, smirking a little, "-maybe I can make an exception." He snapped off a couple squares and handed them to her.

Merlin, when would this boy mature? But, hey, at least he was sharing his delicious snacks.

"Thank you," Y/N said with an extra sweet smile, accepting the chocolate and biting into it, "Shit, this is good."

"You never had Panselinos Chocolate before?"

She shook her head, "My mum always buys me the mainstream stuff."

"Yeah, but normally only a certain type of people like this chocolate."

***

"Fuck, Y/N, you alright?" Lily asked, jumping back after her arm brushed against her best friend's.

"What d'you mean?" Y/N replied, trying not to let her teeth chatter.

The redhead sighed, "You're in a DADA classroom with a roaring fire right there and you're freezing your tits off- hell, you're freezing my tits off! Seriously, are you okay?"

"Yeah, 'm fine. Just a little cold."

"Not only are you freezing up, but Lupin over there is burning up, and he's the furthest away from the fire- look at how he's sweating! He gets a fever every month, I swear."

Y/N glanced across the room at the lanky boy, just as he turned to look at her with her arms wrapped around her body in an attempt to retain any amount of body heat.

"Oh, Godric, he's looking at you!" Lily whispered.

"For a genius witch you are a bit of a Captain Obvious."

Just as soon as Remus had looked, he had looked away, and resumed with the assigned task. Y/N did the same, but not before taking a minute to squat dangerously close to the fire in a desperate attempt to warm up. She knew what symptoms she was experiencing: it was the first full moon of the school year that night.

Dinner was quite a stressful time, and Y/N kept glancing up at the magic Great Hall ceiling to check it wasn't dark yet. She was tapping the table in anticipation and had hardly touched the scrambled eggs she had reluctantly scooped on to her plate. The sickening feeling in her stomach prevented her from consuming any delicacy, other than the expected craving of very raw meat. Anxiously, she watched as the sky gradually turned to a pinky-orange, and decided that that was her cue to leave. Y/N lied to Lily and told her that she didn't feel well and was going to the infirmary. A special thanks to James Potter for flirting with Lily and therefore preventing her from offering to come as well.

Entering the gloomy Forbidden Forest was less nerve-wracking than Y/N had anticipated. But maybe that was because part of her felt as if she belonged there; after all, she was a monster too. The trap door was in the exact spot Dumbledore had said it was, and had a weird magical lock that she managed to work out quickly: she wasn't a Ravenclaw for nothing.

There was a provided safe for when she had stripped herself of her clothing and wand to lock them away safely overnight, and according to Dumbledore, the room was soundproof, so no one would hear her outrageous howls.

***

Madam Nosokoma, the school nurse, tapped gently on the trapdoor the next day, under which Y/N was lying exhausted, wounded and nude on the floor. She forced herself upwards to pull on a jumper and some shorts, before grabbing her wand and opening the door. "Hey, honey, how're you feeling?" she smiled.

"Tired," Y/N sighed, climbing up the ladder with all the energy she had left. Nosokoma supported her weight as she limped back up to the castle; the pink touch of sunrise brushing against the hints of blue in the sky. Just as she was helped through the doors of the infirmary, she laid her eyes on three of the Marauders crowding round an injured Remus on a hospital bed. They all turned to look at her, their eyes widening in shock at the bleeding scars littered all over her revealed legs, and the blood seeping through the woollen jumper.

Y/N didn't have the energy to acknowledge them all that much, but she was somewhat confused. Remus had always disappeared once a month, granted, but she had never paid much mind to it since they weren't close. Never in her wildest dreams would she have imagined he was getting injured. Almost like he was a werewolf.

The suspicions settled in Y/N's mind.

"Lykos, what are you doing here?" James asked, but all Y/N could give him was faint smile as Nosokoma began magically patching up her wounds. In fact, she had passed out by the time the bandages were done.

"Is she alright?" Sirius turned to Madam Nosokoma, sparing a glance to his bed-ridden friend of whom was also nearly passed out.

"She'll be fine, she's just had a rough night."

Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs exchanged glances, before looking at Moony to see he was fully out cold.

***

Remus woke up a couple hours later, as he was able to recover relatively quickly since he was so experienced. He laid his eyes on the bandaged sleeping girl a couple beds down from him, and the worst case scenario popped into his head. Had he hurt her? What if he had bitten her? Nosokoma was nowhere in sight, so he cautiously and painfully forced himself out of his bed to stand by Y/N's. Out of nowhere, Nosokoma appeared behind him, gazing down at the sleeping girl as well.

"Did- did I do this?" Remus asked, worry filling his glistening chocolate irises.

"No, Remus, you didn't," the nurse sighed.

He looked slightly relieved, but still confused, "Then what did?"

"That's not my secret to share."

"Okay..."

"Anyway, now you're up, you need to take the healing medicine, so we can get you back to class as soon as possible."

Remus was gone by the time Y/N was awake.

***

"Merlin, Y/N, where have you been?" Lily cried, practically throwing herself on to Y/N. It would have hurt if the wounds hadn't been magically healed over, the only remnants being the scars littered across her skin, that were covered by her chosen baggy school jumper.

"Oh... just the infirmary... I was feeling sick, remember?" she shrugged, taking a seat at the Gryffindor table.

"Yeah, if you define feeling sick as being covered in wounds and blood," Sirius, who was just a little way down the table, scoffed.

Y/N glared at him.

"You what?"

"I'll tell you later, okay? Not here," she replied. She knew she should tell Lily, her best friend, and also that she could trust her with such a hefty secret.

Lily narrowed her eyes, "Yeah... okay..."

***

"You're a- you're a werewolf?"

"Yes, an arctic werewolf- and you don't have to make it sound like an awful thing! I feel shit enough about it as it is."

"Right, sorry, it's just sudden information. Did you say you got bitten while you were in Canada?"

Y/N nodded, sitting down on the grass by the Black Lake and pulling her hands down her face. The Autumn breeze was nipping at her cheeks, but she was too stressed to think about the coldness in her bones.

"Hey, I'm- I'm so sorry you have to go through this..." Lily said, her green eyes laced with concern, "Is there- is there anything I can do to make it easier? Does- does it hurt?"

"I don't know, Lils... and, I mean, it's agony at first but then I black out and don't become conscious again til morning..."

"Animagus!"

"Hm?"

"Animagus," Lily repeated, "What if I became an animagus? My patronus is a doe, which is fairly large, and werewolves only crave human blood. I could help you while you're transformed-"

"I don't wanna put you in danger."

"I don't care, Y/N, you're my best friend! I'd do anything for you."

"Becoming an animagus is difficult."

"I'm sure I'll manage," Lily grinned, "I'm actually quite excited thinking about it- obviously it'll be illegal... I'll just keep it a secret til I graduate when I'll register myself..."

"You're planning a lot from such a brashly made decision."

"Eh, I've been wanting to become an animagus for a while. Now I have a decent excuse."

"Rowena, what would I do without you?" Y/N chuckled.

***

"I think I've finally mastered talking with this mandrake leaf in my mouth," Lily said, sucking on her tongue, "Thankfully the awful taste has disappeared now."

"I can't believe you've had that thing in your mouth all week. How do you eat? How do you sleep without choking?"

Lily shrugged, "I made a potion that I take before bed. It stops anything from going down my throat, other than air, of course. And eating isn't too hard if I push the leaf to the side."

"Ah, my dear Lily-flower, Lykos!" the voice of James called, making the girls turn to see three boys behind him. The Marauders.

"Great. Here's trouble," Y/N muttered. But, she had to admit, seeing Remus did make her go warm and fuzzy inside. The boys joined them in their position in the secluded corner of the library, which really begged the question of how the fuck did they find them?

-two minutes prior-

"Where is Lily?" James whined, trailing behind Sirius as they entered the library to find Remus.

"Maybe you should stop bothering her," Peter mumbled, silently walking behind James.

"There's Moony," Sirius grinned, ignoring the previous topic.

James immediately asked the wolf boy, "Do you know where Lily-flower is?"

"Probably with Y/N."

"Do you know where Y/N is?" James' eyes lit up hopefully, "You've taken a huge interest in her lately!"

Remus looked up from his book, before rolling his eyes, and scrunching his nostrils in a sniff. "Come on," he said, standing up to lead them between the aisles of the library.

"How much of a stalker do you have to be to recognise Lykos' scent?" Sirius laughed.

"Her scent is very distinct." They rounded a corner. "Here they are."

-present-

"Hello, Y/N," Remus smiled, sitting beside her.

"Lupin," she greeted.

"Godric, can't you just call me Remus?" he said. Y/N could tell it had come out unexpectedly, as he normally was quite reserved and much less straightforward around girls.

"O- Okay, Remus..."

He grinned.

Y/N glanced at the book he had carried all the way over, "What's that you're reading?"

"Oh, nothing-" he said, rereading the title of Werewolves: The Concept of Mating. She read the title for the first time herself, and looked back up at him to lock eyes.

"Can I- can I have a look?"

"Oh- uh- yeah... but I'm- I'm not finished reading it..." Remus handed her the book.

She flicked through the pages, skimming over each page until she found one that read Signs of Mating. Y/N paused, and cautiously began to read the bullet points that followed while Remus watched her.

• A mate's scent will be intoxicating and addictive to a werewolf. • The feeling of kissing a mate for the first time will send the mind to euphoria. • Werewolf mates can calm each other down during a full moon. • Something as simple as a mate's touch will instantly be calming. • In rare cases where a regular werewolf mates with an arctic werewolf, the difference in temperatures during the full moon phase will reach an equilibrium when they touch.

"I didn't know arctic werewolves existed," Remus said nonchalantly, "I've always found werewolves interesting."

"Yeah... interesting..."

He looked her up and down, not in a sexual way, but as if he were judging her character. "Why were you in the infirmary last week?"

"I just- I just took a fall," Y/N said, "Why were you in the infirmary?"

"Same as you," he said slowly, leaning closer, "I just took a fall."

"Come on, Flirty Moony," James called, evidently finished flirting with Lily for the time being, "We're off."

"Goodbye, Y/N."

"B- Bye, Remus."

When the Marauders had disappeared, Lily turned to Y/N with a mischievous look in her eyes, clearly suspicious of her and Remus. "So... what's with you and Lupin then?"

"Nothing."

"Yeah, that's what they all say."

"Okay, fine. Is it just me but is he really hot? Like really fucking hot?"

"I mean he's cute, yeah, but, Godric... has being a werewolf made your hormones rage or something?"

Remus hadn't taken the book back, and at Lily's statement Y/N couldn't help but glance down at the page she still had open in thought.

"What is it?"

Y/N handed the book over; she closely examined Lily's face while she read over the bullet points.

"You don't- you don't think...?"

"He's always disappeared once a month... he's covered in scars... he was reading that book... and he kept talking to me as if he knew..."

"Now that I think about it... it does make a lot of sense," Lily pondered, "In fact... it seems unlikely that he isn't a werewolf. But, wait... are you implying you think he's your mate?"

"...Yes?"

***

The tension between Remus Lupin and Y/N Lykos truly was something else: they would look at each other and feel their collective breaths hitch, and their hands would brush against each other and they would melt. Y/N didn't exactly know how to start a werewolf conversation, so left it, but, of course, the next full moon came around. It was the evening of the day of the full moon, and Y/N could feel her body freezing over. Lily had gotten too concerned and dragged her into the Gryffindor common room. McGonagall hadn't said anything as she was aware of Y/N's current condition.

Lily tried her best to wrap her best friend up in jumpers, blankets and with a hot chocolate by the fire, but Y/N was still shivering uncontrollably. She was showing no signs of warming up whatsoever. "It's- it's get-ting worse..." she chattered, curling into an even tighter ball, "I'm so- so c- cold."

The redhead looked around distressingly, until she remembered what she saw in the werewolf book about mates. If Remus was indeed a werewolf and also Y/N's mate, he would be able to equalise their temperatures. The Marauders were messing around at the other end of the common room, and Lily couldn't help but notice how Remus was practically passed out on the sofa, sweat droplets on his forehead. He was covered in ice packs, but they clearly weren't doing anything. "Y/N, I've got a better idea."

"What?"

Lily took the hot chocolate out of Y/N's hand and pulled her out from underneath the layers, dragging her all the way over to the boys while trying to ignore the fact her hand was freezing up. "Oh! My Lily-flower came to me!" James gasped.

"Shut up, Potter," she snapped, turning to Remus, "What's up with Lupin?"

"He's got a fever," Sirius said.

"Bullshit," Lily muttered, making all the boys' eyes snap towards her, including Remus'. She placed the hot chocolate on the table, and forcefully pushed Y/N to fall on to Remus' lap. If she hadn't been so cold, she would probably have blushed.

"Oh my Godric, you are literally a block of ice," Remus' eyes widened. He had never felt relief from his hot spells before.

"And you are so fucking hot," Y/N muttered, but immediately cringed at her choice of words. All the words to use for 'warm', and she chose the one with sexual connotations?

Thankfully, he said nothing on the matter, as he was too focused on the temperature relief he was finally feeling. Y/N glanced up in shock when she felt Remus' warm calloused hands cup her cheeks, but he wasn't looking at her. His eyes were closed and his head was resting on the back of the settee. She let out a small breath, feeling her blood warm up, which allowed a blush to rise to her cheeks. In a split second rushed decision, Y/N buried her face into Remus' chest, causing him to react by tightly securing her in his arms.

"Well then," James said, "Does this mean you will be hanging around with us more, future Mrs Potter?"

Lily glared at him, "In your sweet dreams."

"Is Lykos alright?" Sirius asked, seemingly more curious than concerned, "She looked like she'd just trekked through the Arctic."

"She's just got the shivers."

"Bullshit. What is it really, Lykos?" Sirius turned to look at the girl curled up on Remus' lap. Unfortunately, she couldn't respond, because she was fast asleep on top of the only source of warmth she required. Remus appeared to have drifted off as well.

***

"The sun's setting," James suddenly said, shaking his sleeping friend with a sense of panic.

"So?" Lily said calmly, trying to hide the fact she was worried that Y/N needed to get outside.

"So, we've got... plans..." Potter continued, managing to wake up both of the werewolves, "Moony, come on, it's almost dark."

"Shit," the boy cursed, carefully pushing a yawning Y/N off of him, "Sorry, I have to go."

Y/N's eyes snapped open as she finally registered what the others were saying. She, too, muttered a, "Shit," and jumped off the sofa to run over to the portrait hole. Lily didn't follow, since she wasn't yet an animagus, but the boys ran after her for a reason she was too worried to think about.

Once out the castle, Y/N sprinted down the grassy slope, nearly tripping on the way, to enter the Forbidden Forest. The Marauders watched from the top of the hill as she ran, piecing together what was happening. "You don't- you don't think she's...?" James trailed off.

"Yeah... Yeah, I think she is," Remus replied, "Anyway, we'll worry about that tomorrow."

They all nodded, before sprinting over to the Walloping Willow.

***

Madam Nosokoma came to collect Y/N earlier than she did the previous full moon, and as they walked up the hill, the boys were also supporting a wounded Remus on the way to the castle. "R- Remus..." she murmured, before passing out entirely due to blood loss and exhaustion.

The infirmary time went pretty much like the previous one, but what came after was different. Both of them were pretty sure that the other was a werewolf, but how exactly does one start up such a conversation? They weren't close enough to justify telling the other they were a werewolf for the sole reason of trusting them, and it's a little too insensitive to just ask 'hey, are you a werewolf?'.

And, so, the following month consisted of intense avoidance between both the Marauders and Y/N, since there were things that had to be said that couldn't be said. But, in more positive news, Lily successfully became a doe animagus, and was clearly ecstatic at her new ability. "I can help you now!" she had beamed.

Until, it was, again, the evening of the full moon, and Remus cornered Y/N in the library while visibly sweating. "Remus..." she mumbled, trying to suppress a shiver, "What-" she gulped, "-what do you want?"

"Come with me," he said, holding out his hand. Y/N glanced at the darkening sky outside, but still apprehensively accepted his offer, which allowed Remus to drag her out of the library. He dragged her all the way out of the castle, until they were outside standing on the grass.

"Remus- I- I have somewhere I need to be-" she said, watching the last bit of sun fall under the horizon.

"So do I," he said, tightening his grip on her hand, "What are you? Scared of the dark?"

"N- No-" she whispered, witnessing in pure horror as the white sphere peeked over into the pool of white-speckled navy blue.

"Y/N!" Lily's voice called from behind, followed by her grabbing Y/N's wrist and pulling her away from the boy, to drag her down to the Forbidden Forest in a sprint. The Marauders appeared behind Remus, and he spared them a glance paired with a frown, before sprinting after them. His friends followed suit.

There wasn't time to climb down into the cellar. The moon had risen quickly, and was shining down in all it's glory on to Y/N, who yelled, "Lily! Get back!" before collapsing on the ground in pain as she felt her bones crack and move.

The redhead quickly morphed into a doe, just as the Marauders arrived, with Remus falling on to the ground as well. James morphed into a stag, Sirius morphed into a black dog, and Peter morphed into a rat. Lily looked at them in shock, but most prominently at James who was a stag. She was a doe; he was a stag. She was torn from her thoughts at the sound of a growl from an arctic werewolf figure beside her, who was quite small but still deadly. Lily turned to what Y/N was glaring at, to see a larger brown werewolf, Remus, growling back at her.

Out of caution, she silently crept over to the other animagi, positioning herself beside the stag that was James. The werewolves let their front paws touch the ground as they growled more deeply at the other, ever so slowly edging closer and closer. Until, Remus suddenly stopped, and tilted his head as he sniffed the air. Y/N continued to growl, but didn't attack as he proceeded to approach her and lick her nose. That made her stop growling, and she backed up with a small whimper.

Remus barked, and began panting like a happy dog, making Y/N tilt her head. He got into a playful panting position, but snapped out of it when Sirius dared to come any closer. He growled at the dog, guarding Y/N behind him protectively. Lily decided to step forward, since she wasn't a canine and also a girl, so the chances were that Remus wouldn't see her as a threat. He didn't react to her, which allowed for her to approach her werewolf friend and rub her head affectionately against her.

The night was both the weirdest and easiest full moon any of them had ever experienced.

***

Y/N woke up with a start at the foot of a tree by the Black Lake, curled up in Remus' arms - something she did not expect. She gave a brief scan of her body, and was surprised (but relieved) to see that there were no new scars littering her skin. Remus was in the same situation. Their friends had evidently gone through the effort of getting more clothes for them, and draped them over their sleeping bodies so as to avoid public nudity.

She felt him stir next to her as she scanned the surrounding area and saw Lily asleep with her head on a sleeping James' shoulder, and Sirius and Peter also in physical contact with each other as they slept. The sun was just beginning to peek over the horizon and the temperature was warm but breezy.

Y/N could truly say that she felt peaceful in that moment.

"Good morning," Remus spoke gently, rubbing his nose against Y/N's cheek.

"Morning," she replied, watching as he looked his body up and down for scars.

"Nothing?" he said in surprise.

Y/N nodded, "Nothing."

Remus's face stretched into the largest grin she had ever seen bestowed upon his face. His calloused hand soon touched her cheek and tilted her head towards him, allowing him a decent angle to conjoin their lips in a chaste kiss. Y/N's mind had never been filled with so much warmth and butterflies before that moment, and for the first time in his life Remus felt like he truly belonged.

They eventually pulled away when they heard movement from a couple of their friends around them. Sirius was waking up, and yawned as he sat up and groggily looked upon Y/N and Remus. He remained sleepy for a few seconds, before a sudden realisation appeared to shock him fully awake.

"Moony - you're not injured!"

Remus' face split into another grin.

"Merlin, did we actually get some sleep last night?"

His loud voice awoke the others sleeping underneath the trees.

"What time is it?" Lily asked, clearly not yet having registered she was asleep on James' shoulder.

"The sun's still rising, so around seven, I guess," Y/N replied.

"Lykos," Peter spoke for the first time that morning, "You're a- you're a... you're just like Remus."

"A big surprise... but not an unwelcome one if it keeps Moony calm on full moons," Sirius added, and it was only then James' eyes opened.

He gaged his surroundings, doing a double take when he noticed Lily still half-asleep on his shoulder: his gaze on her made her finally realise her position, and she shot up instantly, her face bright red.

Deciding against saying something to her, he looked towards Y/N, and said, "I mean, I guess Moony isn't the only Moony now."

A penny dropped in Y/N's head, and she couldn't believe that she hadn't made the connection before that moment. "Your nicknames are your animagi!"

"Took you long enough, Lykos," James said, making her glare at him.

"Believe it or not, Potter, I don't spend every waking moment analysing your lives."

"Except Moony's," Sirius added.

"We should head back up," Lily finally spoke, "Before too many people are awake."

Everyone agreed, and after Y/N and Remus had awkwardly pulled back on clothes, began tiredly standing up to trek up the grassy slopes to the castle.

"I can't believe it. This is the first time since I was turned that I haven't needed medical care after a full moon," Remus said to Y/N as they took the back of the group on the walk.

She beamed at him, "Well, it's only been a couple months for me, but I can still appreciate how nice this is."

"It happened over the summer?"

Y/N nodded, "While I was in Canada. I'm an arctic werewolf, if you hadn't figured that out."

"I had," he reached his hand out to grab hers, "I'm just so- so relieved. I've felt like a monster all these years because there's never been a way to calm me down while I'm turned, and I've been so so scared of hurting people."

She glanced up at him, to see him staring ahead at the grass.

"I haven't felt this peaceful and just- human- in so long."

"I don't think we're humans, Remus."

He chuckled, "Yeah, yeah, I know. But I feel like I have more control over myself now, which makes me feel more human."

"My life has changed so quickly in these last months."

"Mine too. I've been feeling more and more like a monster everyday-"

"Well, if you're a monster, then I'm a monster."

"You could never be a monster, Y/N," he said gently.

She scoffed, "Hypocrite."

"Let me finish what I was saying - I've been feeling more and more like a monster everyday... until now."

He gave her the warmest smile, paired with the kindest eyes she had ever seen.

"Well, I guess we can't ever be away from each other now - at least on full moons," she said.

"I think we're gonna be close to each other a lot more than once a month, love."

"What- what do you mean by that?" She watched with widened eyes as Remus began laughing.

"You know exactly what I mean," he winked, before breaking into a sprint up the hill.

"Moony, get back here!" she yelled after him, beginning to run as well.

Soon, all the others of James, Sirius, Lily and Peter began running as well, yelling questions of why they were running, but laughing all the same.

And just like that, the new exciting years of friendship, self-confidence, and love began for them all, but especially Remus and Y/N.

If Remus saw that you were sick

pairing: young!RemusLupin x reader

contains: fluff, sickness symptoms, use of pet names

a/n: was not proofread, but generally proud nonetheless.

wc: 575

When you woke up in Remus’ arms one Friday morning, your throat felt all scratchy and your forehead was sweaty. Your mouth was dry and your nose was clogged, but you pulled yourself from your boyfriend’s arms and got up and ready for class. Remus would be waking up soon, as he was the early bird of the marauders.

You got your clothes from your drawer in Remus’ dresser, trying not to wake him. You thought you might go get him breakfast so he could cram a little more sleep in. A cough, however, woke the lycanthrope up before you got the chance.

“Baby? Are you okay?” he asked, sleepily.

“Yeah,” you said through another cough, “just allergies, that time of year again.”

“Are you sure? You sound sick, my love,” he said, reaching for you to come back into bed.

“I was just about to go get us breakfast, honey,” you said, brushing your fingers against his. He nodded before leaning back to his pillow.

After Remus asked you if you were feeling well several times, he finally gave up. Unfortunately, as you got halfway through the day, you only felt worse. You were sweating, even in the cold divination tower. Your nose was runny and your throat was sore. With that, you pushed yourself closer to him and cuddled with him whenever you could, despite your worry about getting him sick, too.

“Baby, you’re definitely sick,” your boyfriend whispered to you during potions.

“So what? I can’t miss class, anyway,” you whispered back painfully.

“Well break is soon, so you-” he said, tapping your nose, “-get to go to my dorm, my love.”

“Okay, fine.”

And you obliged. Though you didn’t want to miss class or make your boyfriend sick, you did have to admit that you were really tired. You immediately lay down in his bed and got comfortable. The sheets smelled like him, which somehow made you feel like you were being nursed back to health.

You heard the bell ring, indicating that the break was over, but you were barely awake and ignored it so that you could sleep.

After some time, your boyfriend walked in, waking you up.

“Are classes over?” you asked, rubbing your eyes.

“No love,” he said, showing you his full arms.

“What’s all this? What about lessons?”

“Don’t worry, Lily will give me notes, baby,” he said starting to empty his arms on the bed, “I had to run, but you were sleeping, so I suppose it didn’t matter too much. Anyways, I ran to the hospital wing-I had to talk Madame Pomfrey out of bringing you there-Lily lent me your favorite book, and Pete snuck into the kitchens for cocoa and your favorite snacks. A lot of people owe me things.”

“I love you-” you whispered, still half asleep, “no, no, go back to class. I’m going to get you sick,” you added as he started to get into the bed with you.

“Well, you’re already in my bed, but I will do this first,” he said, now going over to the dresser and getting his favorite sweater and sleep shorts, “here, put this on. Then you can go back to sleep, love.”

And he helped you change out of your uniform. He got you to take medicine and get some food & drink in your stomach before reading to you as you fell asleep in his arms again.

Who cares about the notes now?

How The Marauders React To You... With Tea

SUPPORT TRANS PEOPLE NOW: https://give.hrc.org/page/103141/donate/homepage2022

FEATURING: Snape, James, Sirius, Regulus, Lilly, Peter and Remus

James:

The first cup of tea you brewed was for James before he went out for his daily run, he had rushed into the great hall to give you a kiss on the cheek before he left but you grabbed him by the tie and pulled him into the seat next to you and quickly raised the cup to his lips. He took to scowling at the cup and reared his head, you waited for his childish tantrum to end and when he gave you a regardful glance out of the corner of his eye and saw you were nodding him on he took a sip.

He pulled back from the black tea and puckered his lips for a few seconds, savouring the sharp taste Assam tea had. You watched him dart his tongue out to lick the remnants off his lips while staring at your breakfast in front of you with creased brows, deciding if he liked it or not.

"What is it?" He asked as he gently grabbed the cup from you and looked into it as if expecting it to be some kind of potion.

"It's just tea", You laughed as he held the cup closer to his face, you felt the temptation to push his head into the cup come and go.

"It needs milk", He said, reaching for the milk as you grabbed his hand.

"No! It's black tea!" You tried to grab the cup but he just batted you away with his much longer arms and poured a little milk into it, mixing the creamy cloud into the pearly surface with the teaspoon that was laying by your saucer.

"Surely you can put milk in black tea, it bloody well needs it", He took another sip and once again stared into nothing with a quirked eyebrow before finally nodding.

"Better, here you go, I have to go now, tell Sirius I'll see him in charms", He jumped up to leave, handing the contaminated tea back to you which you took a sip of before giving into James's innovation. It was much better with milk.

"I love you!" You called out which seemed to click something into James as he abruptly stopped in his tracks, nearly running into a pair of Hufflepuffs who had appeared by the doorway.

He turned sharply and ran down the length between the tables, stopping only to use your shoulders as his break system, as if he was an awkward middle schooler with a pair of roller blades and you were the wall around the rink.

He reached down and pecked you on the cheek, pulling back with a grin on his face as he flipped back around and darted off, his hair slightly pulling behind him from the length it had gained over the winter months.

Lilly:

Lilly was sitting on the couch closest to the fire, trying to tuck her face behind her book, making sure nobody could read behind her back, this lasted a total of twenty minutes before you invited yourself to jump next to her with a half-empty mug of tea in your hands which reeked of sweetness, wafts of sugary air assaulted Lilly's noses which caused her to wrinkle the appendage and slam her book shut on her lap.

"Merlin, how much sugar have you put in that?" She dared to peek over the cup to see a sad sight of the lightest tea she had ever seen with a more profound reek of sweetness hitting her.

"Remus made it for me, I think he had made it for Sirius but...Yeah. I struggled to get it that far", You wrinkled your own nose at the drink and swirled it around the cup, watching the contents mix themselves.

"Oh well, I can help you if you need", She offered with a grin, slipping her book by her thigh as she pulled her legs into her chest, curling up like a beautiful house cat.

"Thank Godric, I was going to ask anyway", You smiled holding the cup up to her face only for Lilly to pull out her wand and aim it at the cup at the same time.

A red carried its way from her cheeks to her forehead as she realized you meant help drink it not to vanish it.

"Oh, I'm sorry", You apologized pulling back with an embarrassed flush over your face.

"Oh no no! That's alright, here", Charged full of embarrassment and her fear of you seeing Lilly in a different light she ripped the cup from your hands and rushed it to her lips, taking a large swig that instantly put a sour purse on her lips.

"Is that salt?" She asked with a shake of her tongue at the word salt.

You smiled with a grin nodding as you laughed loudly, taking the cup from her hands and placing it on the floor beside the couch.

"Oh man, I just couldn't resist! You should have seen it!" You chuckled so loudly that a few people shushed you in the common room but you simply ignored them and continued.

Lilly thought of every insult to throw at you, she watched the ideas of screaming and shouting at you fade as your face imprinted itself into her mind's eye. Your face was filled with a love for life that made her cheeks glow for a different reason. Your unwavering joy of this joke made Lilly feel a twinge of something chemical in her heart, she wanted to pull you close and kiss you right here but she couldn't.

"Haha-Uh You alright Lil'?" You finally turned to look at her and when you saw she wasn't scowling or pulling faces like she usually did after a stupid prank you were afraid you had truly upset her.

"Yeah yeah, I just--You--I have to go!" She all-of-a-suddenly grabbed her book and stormed out of the common room, her fantasies of your face making her heart heavy.

Remus:

The library was your favourite place in the winter of Hogwarts and here was where Remus found you, curled up with a copy of a book about something he didn't look at, instead he was keenly following the sweet scent of honey which was leading him to your cup on the table in front of you.

He stared down at you and when you didn't react to his presence he gently settled himself in the seat opposite you. The big room was so quiet that Remus felt a shiver run up his spine.

He placed his hand on the table and it remained still for a moment before he held it upright, pointing his index and middle finger into the wooden table, using his fingers like they were legs, he slowly took tiny inches toward your cup and was about to make a grab for the mug painted with deep purple violets when you finally materialized back to reality.

"If you want some, just ask Moony", He looked up at you with huge, bloated brown eyes whose pupils were blown up to the size of dinner plates.

"Can I have some?" He asked as he finally grabbed the handle and brought it close to him, taking a deep sniff of the sweet redbush tea which was loaded with honey in every waft that entered his nose trails.

"Of course, see if you like it", You smiled, placing the book back down and dropping your head into your palm to support yourself.

He took a deep sip and smacked his lips a couple of times before humming in a low monotone pitch for a couple of seconds. He stared down into the cup before smiling, his smile pulled at your heartstrings as he handed it back to you.

"Will you make some for me sometime? I love it", He couldn't help but reach for it again and you obliged as you handed it back, allowing your fingers to graze as he grabbed the cup back and took another sip.

"Of course, maybe we can have some tomorrow, I think you'll like another one I have as well, it's made from cacao nibs", You nearly cracked a rib as Remus's eyes lit up, almost dog-like in nature as his posture straightened.

"So, it's like chocolate?" He asked, taking another sip, watching you over the rim of the mug.

"Yep, just for you", You laughed as he stood up and walked off to the exit, still holding the mug.

"Why wait? Carpe Diem as they say", He was practically running as you sprinted after him with laughter in your belly.

Peter:

The green tea was sitting by the chess game in front of you two and you weren't sure if it was perhaps the healing energy coming out of the small handleless mugs that was energizing you but so far the game was pulling in your favour which made you smile.

"This isn't fair, are you sure you didn't add liquid luck in that", Peter gestured his hand at your porcelain cup with disdain as your queen rather harshly smacked his knight off the board and onto the carpet in little bits and chips.

"Nope, maybe you're just getting old and tired Wormtail", You snickered as you took the cup and brought it to your lips, taking a sip as Peter turned back to the board with a snort.

"Yeah right, I wouldn't be surprised if you traded something with old Snivillius again", Peter dumbly disregarded your queen and spoke to the board which moved his rook to your bishop.

"I can neither confirm nor deny my business dealings with others Pete, you must know that at least", You watched as your queen didn't even wait for you to speak as she moved to the clear move, right in front of the last guard on Peter's King.

"Yeah that's something a guilty person would say", He scoffed, taking a large sip of the subtle tasting tea as he moved his bishop to your knight.

"It's not my fault that you're a low-level potions student who can't tell when his tea has been bugged with mackled malaclaw", You added off handily as you drained the final dregs of the tea with a shake of your head at the bitter leaves in the bottom.

Peter suddenly spat out the tea all over the chess pieces who stood up and began shaking their fists at him but he paid no attention as you looked down at his hands with his voice coming out in huff and puffs as if expecting to see he had turned into a hideous beast.

"You what!" He yelled as he wiped his mouth on his loose red tie which hang around his neck with reckless abandon.

You smirked evilly and cackled as you leaned back and watched him panic for a few minutes until you had your fill of laughing, it may seem cruel but you thought of every time he had danced around the common room after he would win and call you a loser as you sat defeatedly trying to act nonchalant while inside you were holding back from smacking him into next week.

"Peter it's not poisonous, Severus took out the side effects for me, you should be laughing really, that little cup cost me a good fortune and a large smack in my reputation", You watched Peter pick up the cup with a growl and throw it at you which caused you to laugh as you dived below the table as the cup smashed behind you on a wall.

"Hey! Watch the face!" You called out as you poked your head up which caused Peter to promptly dive across the little table, knocking the chess into the air as Peter leapt to you and began straddling your waist as he playfully grabbed at your throat and pretend to strangle you which you played along with, acting as if he was really harming you. The acting was enough to convince a couple of first years who gasped and ran out of the room which made you laugh and finally for the first time today Peter joined in.

You both lay next to each other and stared up at the ceiling as you both sighed, allowing the suddenly quiet room to settle.

"M'sorry", You called out as you slipped your hands under your shirt, rubbing your stomach as the tea settled perfectly into place within the contents of your stomach.

"M'sorry too, I'm a sore winner sometimes, it's not fair", He didn't raise his voice too loud, making sure only you could hear him.

"How about we both admit we were both wrong and forgive and forget", You held out your hand upright, and much to your pleasure another hand entered your vision and grabbed yours, filling your hand with heat that travelled up your arm and to your face at his touch.

Severus:

The aroma had filled the Slytherin common room and upon entry, Severus had thought it was some stupid peer's failed potion but the scent only strengthened in velocity as he came closer to his dorm room and the dread filled his stomach as he flicked through his dorm mates, trying to figure out who was the most likely culprit at the mess he was about to uncover.

He opened the door with a dramatic whoosh but the room was in the same condition he had left it in the only difference was the cup on his side table which was accompanied by a note that was written in your iconic handwriting which he identified in seconds. He walked over to the cup and sniffed it with a scowl, sure it was a botched attempt of yours that you had made without his consultancy.

He picked up the cup which was acting as a paperweight to the note and sat on his bed to read it.

Dear Snake,

A poor sense of humour as always, he thought as he exhaled firmly.

I wanted to say thank you for your help with potions this week, you did an adequate job at helping me.

Adequate? He had taken multiple hours out of his private time to help the little spoiled home-wrecker.

I appreciate it, I know it was not your choice but considering we were forced to spend time together by professor Slughorn I have to say you made it rather enjoyable.

He paused at those words with a momentary glance around the room before he allowed himself a small smile. He had found himself enjoying your tutor sessions more and more as each lesson passed but he wouldn't dare admit it even on his deathbed.

I made you a cuppa to say thanks, I know you probably don't remember but I made this tea during our last session and you tried it (without my consent) and told me it was audacious. Whatever that's supposed to mean but it was the first time I saw you without that dumb frown on your face so I made you some.

Your client and friend, y/n.

He stared at the page, looking for any sign of doctoring but it looked real, the ink was the shade you used and the loop on the letters was yours but he couldn't help it, why on Earth would you write this?

He placed the letter next to him and picked up the cup. The steam came off it in normal patterns and the colour was the same colour it had been when he tried it the first time but he could feel the protective side of him flare up and the urge to throw it down the drain without a second thought pushed its way to his brain.

He stood up and walked over to the window, opening it to throw the contents of the cup outside but he paused at the last second and glanced down once again before shaking his head at the stupid trust you had installed in him before taking a sip of the tea which caused the same euphoric bursts along his tastebuds which made him smile once again. It wasn't a trick.

He enjoyed the tea by the window for a couple of minutes and when he was finished he knew he had a perfect excuse to speak to you again, to give you back the cup. He damned the excitement that elected in him and returned to his bed.

Sirius:

The party from the common room could be felt throughout the whole tower and for once you felt like flipping off the boys who had organized it. Usually, you would be down with them enjoying the music and talking to everyone but this essay was due tomorrow and this was the final straw for your parents who had become sick of receiving owls detailing your various schemes which ended with rather shabby grades.

The quill felt heavy in your hand and the ginger, honey, and lemon tea were not curing this tired vibration between your eyes that told you to give up and go join the party.

You had finished the last line to your fourth paragraph when the door cracked and in stumbled Sirius, his hair was long and shaggy, the smell of alcohol and cigarettes pouring from his scalp as if the mutt was sweating the stuff. He tripped over your trunk with a giggle as he picked himself back up and waddled over to you, slamming his head onto the table as he stared up at you from his knees, a bottle of what looked like fire whisky in his hand, the substance no doubt all over your room now.

"Hello Padfoot, having fun?" You couldn't help but let the jealousy leak out of your words. He didn't need to study because he leeched off Remus and James but unfortunately the boys had an ongoing trick on you where they offered exactly no help with essays much to your anger which only amused the boys more.

"Oh yeah but y'know it's really missing you down there, I need someone to dance on the tables with, M'all alone down there", His face was turned towards you, his hair a fallen mess all over his face.

He wasn't quite wasted but he was very tipsy, he probably would have a patchy memory tomorrow but for now, he was still conscious. He suddenly let out a deep sniff and his eyes instantly pinged to the cup on your other side which was in the largest mug you could find.

"What's in there!" He pulled himself up with an innocent grin as he abandoned the bottle by your chair and hazardously picked up the mug, daring to swing with it in a tight swirl around the room much to your dismay.

"Careful! That's tea!" You jumped up to try and pick the mug up from him but Sirius gave you a run for your money.

He darted all around your room, jumping on your dormmate's beds and sending piles of clean clothes ready for folding, books, and personal belongings flying everywhere in heaps.

He finally made his way to your bed and sat down, laying his feet off the sides to keep the dirt away from your covers. His face had an angelic glow while he laughed and you couldn't help but grin at his drunken stupidity. He was so pretty and the bastard knew it, he knew he made you crazy and the booze had given him the courage to tease you about it, this is what he was doing, taunting you with something you couldn't have.

He took a sip from the mug and pulled a face of disgust before slowly taking another sip while watching you huff at his antics. You had given up and sat down on the chair you had been sitting on before, your body facing him while simultaneously slouching with a scowl directed at the pretty boy who was now as happy as a fat cat with his cup of sweet cure.

"Isn't somebody missing you somewhere?" You asked, exasperated. It was just like Sirius to come and find you when you were trying to get some decent work done.

Sirius went deadly silent at your words, continuing to watch you he twisted over to place the cup beside the bed, letting you see the side of his toned stomach as his shirt rode up slightly.

You could feel your face heating up but you didn't dare look away in case you blinked and he pounced on you. The heat slowly wavered as he flopped back, he cocked his head to the side with a grin.

"I should go, leave you to it. But I don't want to", He stood up, pulling his jeans up. He crept towards you, his face smirking with a nasty on his lips that had you paralyzed in your chair.

"I think you and I should make our own fun, whaddya' you say darling?"

Regulus:

The sky was crystal clear, not a cloud was in sight and it was very freeing to feel the wind gently blow over your skin, rustling your hair while sitting on the patterned picnic blanket beside the black lake. The sun was hidden by the tree overhead and it was amazing to feel the diamonds of light slip down through the trees and carefully dance over your face.

The picnic food was hot and steaming, letting out wafts of warm scents which tickled your brain and made your stomach gurgle with the aches of hunger.

It was midday and while you had expected Regulus to stand you up once again for his friends you still felt the sadness drip into your heart.

You sat up, preparing to have a picnic for one but just as you opened the basket lid to pick out the hot food the sound of footsteps crunching on the grass made you perk up, you peeked over the line of trees you had chosen to host the secret date behind, and there coyly emerged Regulus.

He was wearing a beautiful white dress shirt that was a happy change from his usual black cloak and slacks. He looked beautiful and upon seeing your face he seemed to take a large chunk off his shoulders and almost become complacent.

"I apologize, Snape was sticking his abnormally large nose into my business yet again", Regulus quickly sat beside you and peered into the basket.

You felt a burst of adrenaline surge through you and it forced you to leap into Regulus's arms, happily laughing as he gave a loud 'oof' when you bowled him over with your weight. He gave a chortle and held onto you with a python-tight grip that incased you. He gazed up at the leaves rustling above you and sighed away every anxiety and pressure he had pushed onto himself.

You pulled back slowly, checking you didn't knock him as you picked up a thermostat you had carried down and poured you both a cup of mint herbal tea which Regulus watched with keen interest.

"A toast, to your tardiness", You smiled as you handed him his cup before he quickly brought it against your own and clashed them against each other to make a sweet chink.

"A toast to your patients, I was worried you would have left", He watched you take a sip first before he registered you were looking back at him and eagerly waiting for his own opinion about the steaming cup.

He blew a breath over the cup before taking an elegant sip, daintly wrapping his finger over the fragile china before he nodded.

"It is good, thank you", He thanked while you simply nodded, looking down at your own cup with a sad grin.

"Something tells me we won't be seeing each other for a while", You didn't want to dampen the party but you couldn't shake the fear. Regulus was intertwined with formidable friends who held very different ideologies of good and evil than you did and it left a bad taste in your mouth.

Regulus was suddenly silent. He looked down at his own cup, folding his legs below him as a bird flew past, twittering its song, completely unaware of the coupling below it.

"I cannot promise you I will see you again soon, but I can promise I want to, I want to see you again and perhaps that is enough", He placed the cup down and gazed out over the lake, the thoughts of you dancing through his thoughts.

"I cannot promise that when I see you again it will be under the same pretences", Your anger and fear rolled into one, it came out as a silent plea that you both knew couldn't be addressed less another argument plagued the only time you had alone.

Regulus turned and for a moment your breath caught, his face was lit up with white diamonds of sunlight that made him look ethereal. His face was so visible that you could see the few freckles which were subtly sprinkled sparingly over his nose. His face melted into an expression of sad puppy love which watched every feature of yours before he pulled up his collar and shook his head free of the longing wish he had to stay with you for eternity.

"Is our desire really so fickle that you would have me believe you could even entertain the idea of matching me in battle?" His voice was guarded but a tone of poison filled it. He had been shut out his whole life from love and he knew better than to let you in on the big secret. You were his weakness, his Achilles' ankle that could bring down armies if you were threatened. You two had hidden your relationship well but was it well enough?

"I will do whatever it takes for my cause and I rest well knowing you are of the same mind, if we were to come across each other in battle I wouldn't hesitate!" You could feel the anger overpower the fear as you sat up, your daydream was broken before your eyes like sea glass.

"Then you will forgive me for matching your promise", His eyes peeled down, another enemy was not what he wanted, and not if it was meant to be you but this outcome was inevitable. You were on the other side. It was better you leave before he had to carry out his orders.

"I have to hand it to you Regulus, I have never met any person so rich in the fortune of self-pity as you!" You stood up, kicking your tea cup with a great wind up which forced Regulus to duck as the cup went soaring over his head and back where he had first crawled from.

"I have never asked for this! I never asked for you to be with me! I have never once given you a strong indication of my courtship!" He stood up, chasing after you with his voice raised loudly. He didn't care who heard at this moment, he needed just a moment where he could speak the falsities he knew would end a long terrible time at the end of the year for you.

You sharply turned, eyes wild with rage as you shoved him backward, he took the brunt of the force in his chest and simply turned the side of his face to look along the trees instead of your teary face which tugged at his soul.

"You better hope this war kills one of us because I will never be here for you like this again, I will not be second place to your own masochist tendencies! I am worthy of much more than this and I was stupid to think you were ever better than you were! I hate you!" You wanted to slap him silly and throw every blasted bit of dirt in sight at him just for a reaction but he didn't move from his place.

His adam apple bobbed as he gulped, continuing to stare to the side as you loudly yelled nothing coherent at his face, trying to make him move or look at you naturally but he didn't budge. His eyesight was sturdy and for a moment you saw that this was who he really was. Regulus wasn't long hugs under summer skies he was a cold deferring shoulder when all you wanted was a kind word.

"I never minded being alone y'know, I was alright by myself!" You held out your arms while taking a step back as if you were praying to a god that could help you solve the strange enigma of Regulus Black.

You scoffed, stroking your cheek with your tongue as you shook your head. You stood in silence for a few more moments trying to process his sudden mood change but when you couldn't take it any longer you turned and walked back to the blanket, ready to grab your things and leave.

All he had to do was stay quiet and let you leave. All he had to do in order to save a great deal of heartbreak later in life was to stay quiet and stay still.

"I love you", He whispered quietly but you didn't hear a word of it as you packed up all your belongings and stormed off, cursing him from far off in the distance.

He finally turned and walked back up to where the blanket had been sitting a spell ago, he sat on the flattened grass and wiped desperately at his leaky nose and eyes which made him cry harder.

A/N: Most Poly!Marauders fics are oneshots, where the relationship between characters is already established, and they're all happy and pleased with it. No issues, no drama, but I WANTED the drama. Couldn't find it, so I set myself up to write the story behind the stablished relationship. I wanted to know how they started dating each other, the jealousy, the will they won't they, because getting into a poly relationship can't be an easy task, and I wanted to explore that story. If you're interested: Welcome to Gilded Constellations!

hey elia!! could i request a 🕊 with remus lupin?

i’m a ravenclaw entp and my love language is physical touch :) i love meeting new people and i’m really talkative but i’ve been asked multiple times why i talk so much and that i “should just stop talking”. it hurts a bit but im so used to it by now that after like a day of being sad i move on. sometimes i’ll get really interested in a topic and i’ll basically study it til i get distracted by something else. i’m 5’4 and on the smaller side in terms of body type and weight. i have wavy brown hair but i usually keep it in a ponytail or braids just cause it gets on my nerves. when it comes to clothes i usually opt for a lil skirt and an oversized sweater, but if i’m actually going out im gonna wear something so nice that i’d be content with dying in that fit.

i love you!! dude i get the talking thing so much, people think i'm so annoying but i just like to have fun and talk to people :(( i hope you enjoy your fic!!! 💛🎨

🕊 - send me a character and as much information about yourself as you’d like and i’ll write a blurb about what i think your relationship with that character would be like!

" - and then she said - "

"Merlin, will you just shut up!?" You were cut off by Lucius Malfoy, who was walking by and glaring at you.

You deflated immediately, shutting your mouth and fidgeting self-consciously. "S-sorry," you whispered, looking down. "I'm- I'm just gonna go back to my dorm."

"Good." Malfoy smirked. "Run along."

You narrowed your eyes, angry with him but too upset with yourself to do anything about it. You ran out of the room and sped to the Ravenclaw common room, ready to lock yourself in your dorm for the rest of the night.

"(Y/N), wait!"

You turned around to see Remus standing there, looking concerned. "What do you want?" you asked, wiping away tears.

Remus took a step toward you and pulled you into his arms. "Don't let what Malfoy said get to you. I like hearing you talk - we all like hearing you talk. We love your stories - you're hilarious and so fun to talk to. Please don't leave just because Malfoy was an arsehole."

You sniffled, leaning into him. "Thanks, Remus," you whispered.

"Of course." He kissed your head. "Now, let's go to my dorm and you can tell me about your day."

Today's @wolfstarmicrofic prompt is lovesick!

(331 words.)

Euphemia knows her boys.

James has always been easy to read. The boy takes after his father, with the way he can't hide the emotions on his face. Not only that, but he's not one for secrets. He'll talk to Effie about anything, and she's pretty sure she knows him better than she knows herself.

Sirius is a little more difficult, but she thinks she's getting there. He spent years of his life forced to conceal every real aspect of himself, so he reveals his emotions through miniscule glances, a hand twitch, pressing his lips into a thin line.

She's beginning to learn his language, doing little things to make sure he knows how welcome he is in the house. She'll ask him to clear the table, or help her in the garden, his face brightening ever so slightly every time. Everyone watches him relax into their family and slowly begin to open up. He won't become an open book overnight, but she thinks she's getting pretty good at reading him.

It's the four of them over the summer that prove her right.

Remus and Peter are over for the week, sitting out in the garden on the second day. Effie's washing dishes the muggle way, unwinding, watching the four from the window. The sky's darkening as James and Peter get up and walk away, leaving Remus and Sirius alone.

Remus says something, and, well, the boy is funny, but not funny enough to warrant the laughter that overcomes her son. His whole face turns red, a grin on his face. It throws her for a moment, until Remus rolls his eyes and gives Sirius a playful shove. Sirius turns back to face him with a look that Euphemia can place with ease. It's the look on James' face every time he mentions Lily, on her own the day Fleamont proposed to her. One that Effie can only describe as lovesick.

Oh.

Sirius is in love. That much she's sure of.

#i missed effie #i needed to write her again #for the sake of my mental health #also more teenage wolfstar xoxo #wolfstar #sirius black #wolfstar oneshot #marauders #remus lupin #remus x sirius #young marauders #moony x padfoot #atyd marauders #marauders oneshot

Hiya! I’m from Wattpad. I have a oneshot request. Could you write a Remus oneshot where the reader is either James or Sirius’ sister and she’s a werewolf too, she doesn’t know Remus is and Remus doesn’t know she is, but one day, she forgets to cover the scars on her face and she’s partnered with Remus in potions and he notices them, knowing how she got them. Then after class he confronts her about it and she replies stating that she didn’t want him to have to deal with her problems too because she cares so much about him, and then they confess? if this is too detailed I’m sorry its just hoe my brain works I don’t request often and I’s write this myself but I have so many other ideas rn. Also do you post the oneshots both here and Wattpad?

Last night was that time of the month. A night that was always followed by exhaustion and frustration. As the full moon shined bright, your body underwent your second excruciatingly painful transformation into the form of a werewolf.

Two months ago, in the summer before your last year at Hogwarts, you got bitten. You were out in the back garden of your home, relaxing beneath the moonlit sky when a werewolf approached. Everything was a blur, and all you could remember was James’ voice as he casted numerous combat spells to get rid of it.

As of now, your brother James and your parents were the only ones that knew of your lycanthropy. He didn’t want to expose your secret to Remus, and he didn’t want to expose Remus’ secret to you, so he refrained from asking him for help. It was hard for James to decide not to join the rest of the Marauders on full moons, as they would always accompany Remus as their animagi during his transformations, however he chose to stay by your side instead. Last month, he prepared his plan a few days prior, acting sick so that he could have an excuse on the night of the full moon.

Now that school started, it was harder for him to think of an excuse to not join them. Last night he told them that he got detention with Filch, which they barely believed, because if one of them got detention, all four of them did.

It was the morning after, and you were running late to class. Exhaustion was taking its toll on you as you rushed off to potions, still half asleep. You hardly managed to put your tie on correctly, adjusting it as you quickly took your seat in the classroom.

“Miss Potter. You’re just in time. You’ll be partnered with Lupin for this month’s project. Please join him at his table.” Professor Slughorn spoke.

“Yes, Professor.” You answered, moving your books over to the table that Remus was sitting at.

Remus looked at you, offering you a polite smile. “Good morning, Y/n.”

You hung around the Marauders very often, as James would bring you along with him whenever he’d see them. It wasn’t uncommon for you to get roped into their pranks somehow. You were always closest to Remus, as he was the easiest to speak to about anything. He was the only one out of the group other than James that you’d spend time with alone, studying together or having butterbeer at The Three Broomsticks. Despite your closeness, he never confessed his lycanthropy to you, and you hadn’t confessed yours out of fear of burdening him.

“Morning.” You replied, covering your mouth to yawn.

He turned his head to look at you, his heart sinking as he saw the scars on your face. Your transformation from the previous night had taken a serious toll on you, and your rush to get to class caused you to completely forget to cover them. Despite his immediate recognition of what they meant, he didn’t let it show on his face.

“You seem tired. Did you get any sleep?” He inquired, pulling out a chocolate bar from his pocket.

“It was a long night. I was studying.” You answered.

“Studying? This early in the school year? That’s not like you at all.” He teased, offering you the chocolate. "Have some chocolate. You'll feel better."

“Thanks." You took a pieceI’m getting a head start. I’m gonna be ahead of the game this year.”

“Right. We’ll see how long this new you lasts.”

─────── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───────

After Slughorn’s dismissal of the class, you gathered your books and walked out with Remus.

“May I ask you about something, Y/n?” Remus queried, walking beside you.

“Of course. Anything.”

He looked around, making sure the coast was clear before taking your hand before pulling you into an empty classroom. You looked at him in confusion, setting your books down on a desk.

“Those scars. On your face. What happened?”

You swallowed nervously, raising a hand to feel your cheek. Your stomach sank as you realised that you forgot one crucial step in your routine this morning.

“I don’t want to worry you, Remus. It’s nothing.” You spoke.

“You’re worrying me by not telling me. Please, Y/n. Let me help you.” He took your hand from your face, holding it in his own.

“I…I don’t know where to start.” You kept your eyes down, staring at the floor in shame.

“How long?” He questioned.

“What?” You looked up at him, furrowing your brows.

“How long ago were you bitten?”

“How did you know?”

“You look completely drained, there are scars on your face, James has spent two full moons in a row away from us, and I noticed the mark on your arm during class. Your sleeve was riding up while you were taking notes.” He answered, still holding your hand.

Your eyes widened briefly, and you could feel your stomach turning uneasily. Had it been that obvious? Could everyone else tell too?

“Nobody would know unless they knew what to look for.” He said after a moment, almost as if he had read your anxious thoughts.

“But you know what to look for?” You asked.

“I do.” Silence hung in the air for a few moments, before he spoke again, soft and earnestly. “I do because I’m a werewolf too.”

His confession brought both shock and relief to you, and you couldn’t deny the urge to pull him into an embrace, so you did. He wrapped his arms around you, rubbing your back and allowing you to bury your face into his chest. “I’m sorry, Y/n. I know how terrible it is. Especially in the beginning. I’m so sorry.” He rested his cheek on your head, sighing deeply.

“How long?” You asked, pulling your head away slightly to look up at him.

“I was four.” He answered, a hint of sadness in his voice.

“Here I was, not telling you because I didn’t want you to have to deal with my problems too. I care too much about you to burden you with my own issues.”

“I care too much about you to let you deal with things on your own. You could never burden me. I had a suspicion, you know. Somehow I felt it. I should’ve asked you sooner. I could’ve helped you in some way.” He replied with a trace of guilt in his tone.

“That’s not your fault, Remus. I didn’t want you to know. I didn’t want you to look at me differently, either.”

“I suppose that's the reason I kept it from you, too. I didn’t want you to look at me differently.” He admitted, releasing you from his arms.

“At least now we don’t have to deal with it alone. We have each other.” You smiled at him.

“Your brother, Sirius, and Peter have helped me through countless transformations. If you’re comfortable with it, I think it’s a good idea for you to join us on full moons. It makes a world of a difference, knowing that there are people supporting you.”

You nodded, feeling a weight lift off of your shoulders. “I think I will.”

There was a brief moment of silence between you two, as Remus mustered up the courage to say what he so desperately wanted to say.

“There’s something else I’d like to confess, Y/n.”

“Yes?”

“I don’t just care about you as a friend. My feelings for you run deeper than that. I’ve admired you for a long time now, and I care about you more than I can express. I realised that as I saw your scars this morning.” He reached out with a gentle hand, cupping your cheek. ”I want to be there for you, always.”

“Remus…” You spoke, hesitantly but with certainty. “I feel the same way. I never thought I’d find someone that understands me as deeply as you do.”

"And please, don't think that I'm judging your scars. I only took note of them because I knew what they meant. Trust me, you're as beautiful as ever." He smiled warmly, before closing the gap between the two of you to press a gentle kiss to your lips. “Merlin, James is going to kill me.”

“You’ll be there tonight?”

Remus turned his head, his eyes finding yours. He couldn’t get what you just said since he was too focused on forcing himself not to stare at you and your endearing features. “What?” he said as he cleared his throat, trying not to seem flustered.

You shake your head with a chuckle “You’ll be there tonight?” you saw his eyebrows knitted together in confusion “The party I mean” You really wanted Remus to go. You loved parties, it was a break from school pressure and allowed you to relax for a night. Sure, you were grateful to be a fast learner but burnout was easy for a gifted child who craved academic validation. Anyone in Hogwarts who wanted to have great grades needed to sacrifice a part of their mental health.

But parties were there to help you. And Remus too. You had a long week and just wanted to rest your brain and the party was a good way but it would be even better if Remus was by your side for the entire night.

You held your gaze on the boy, trying to let him know with the look in your eyes that you wanted him to be there. His lips tugged up “Sure” he offered you the softest smile, his cheeks light pink.

It was rare to see Remus being shy, he actually was the type to be sarcastic and teasing with everyone if he wasn’t just wearing a blank face. But you didn’t remark this, you were maybe smart but totally clueless when it came to other people’s feelings. That’s something your friends always made fun of. You were a total flirt but never knew if they flirted back, liked you and were just shy persons.

You grinned a large smile “Great!” you got up and brushed off the grass that was stuck to your pants. Remus and you decided to spend some time together near the Black Lake and it was now time to leave, you had a long week and wanted to take nap before the party.

Remus watched you as you took your bag off the floor and slid it on your shoulder. When your eyes landed on Remus, it seemed like he really wanted to smile but stopped himself from doing it, his pupils were shining and he looked genuinely happy. He truly was handsome.

“See you tonight!” you bent down, pressing a brief kiss to his scarred cheek. You quickly walked away, not seeing the hard blush on Remus’ face and his wide eyes, he had to take a deep breath and a good minute to get up.

:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ

Remus lifted his head, hoping to see you enter the room as he saw a group of students coming from the corner of his eye but unfortunately, you weren’t there yet. He was wondering where you could be and just wanted you to be by his side.

As he was lost in his own thoughts he felt someone grabbing his shoulder, he turned around with a small jump, not expecting any physical touch.

He faced a very smiling Sirius “Waiting for your lovebird?” he said with a wide smirk. Remus looked back at the entrance of the common room, rolling his eyes at his friend’s comment.

James came by their side “Who are we looking for?” he nudged Remus in the ribs, showing the crowd starting to form with a head movement.

“Y/n~” Sirius sang as he sent a wink to the tall boy who let out a sigh, hating that he was right. Remus didn’t even bother listening to whatever his best friends were talking about, you were the only thing in his mind at the moment.

But as the waiting began to be long and he started to overthink, he drank a glass of firewhiskey. Then two.

It was his fourth glass when you stepped into the room, it was just the only way he found to spend time. His eyes met yours and his lips immediately extended into a wide smile.

He got up from the couch and that was the moment he realised how much he had drunk without break. Lily next to him let out a chuckle, knowing very well why he was in this state “Go get her” she laughed and Remus nodded as he headed to you.

He approached you, his hand grabbing your shoulder. You turned your head, smiling when you saw him. Without thinking you wrapped your arms around his middle, hugging him to express how happy you were to find him.

“I’m sorry for coming so late. I forgot to set up an alarm and woke up like 40 minutes ago.” you said with an apologetic smile. But Remus beamed down at you and breathed a quiet ‘It’s okay’.

You chuckled “How much have you drank already?” Remus let out a sigh before bringing you to his chest so you would shut up, with your face pressed against his shirt.

“Take a drink and leave me alone” he said grumpily but you could hear his smile as he talked. You pushed away from his embrace before walking to the buffet, shoving a few appetisers in your mouth and filling a glass.

You joined Remus on one of the couches, you could see he was more tactile than usual but you weren’t going to complain, his arm looped over your shoulders you felt protected and relaxed.

You felt his gaze on you as you did anything “What?” you laughed, your eyebrow raising as he was staring down at you.

Remus blushed and looked away “Nothing” he let out a long breath before looking at you from the corner of his eyes “You- You’re just really pretty” That’s it. He just said it. What he wanted to tell you since he first met you months ago.

“O-oh” you weren’t expecting this and warmth raised to your entire face. You had a foolish smile on your lips “You’re pretty too”

Remus didn’t know if it was because of the alcohol in his blood or just the genuine comment you just said, but he wanted to kiss you. His mouth was agape, looking at you in such admiration, he was adorable when he was flustered.

It wasn’t the first time he had the urge to kiss your soft-looking lips but he never dared, you were so confident, he was even surprised you weren’t taken, every sane person would love to date you. But the new form of adrenaline gave him the confidence he didn’t have sober. He leaned down, his right hand cupping your cheek.

You knew what he was going to do. And you wanted the same thing as him. The only problem that was floating in your mind was ‘does he really want to kiss you? Or it’s just the euphoria of the night?’ “Wait” you whispered when his lips almost touched yours.

Remus cocked his head to the side. “Do you really want this? It’s not just alcohol?” you asked quietly.

The boy nodded eagerly “Of course, I wanted to since I first led my eyes on you” you grinned when he talked, that was the sweetest thing someone ever told you.

“You’re not going to regret this tomorrow morning?” you were scared your dream will disappear when you will wake up and Remus shook his head with wide eyes, he was begging you in silence and you couldn’t resist anymore.

“Just one.” his lips tugged down in disappointment “C’mon, if you still like me in the morning we will have plenty of time to kiss” This time you were the one initiating the kiss, your hand on his scarred cheek, tilting his head down so you could reach for his lips. He didn’t wait before kissing you back, his hand coming behind your neck.

Fireworks exploded in Remus’ stomach, he couldn’t believe what was happening. He never wanted to stop, he loved you too much to break the kiss right now.

You pulled away for air but Remus chased for your lips and you giggled. “I said one” Remus sighed, burying his face in the crook of your neck with a muffled groan. When you tore your stare away from him you saw all his friends looking at you with big smirks and you let out an awkward laugh.

Remus could feel your embarrassment and he gazed up at where you were looking. He grunted when he saw his idiots of friends “Leave us alone” he told them with furrowed brows before grabbing your hand to lead you to a more quiet place.

The said place ended up being his dorm. He just plopped down on his bed, waiting for you to join him. He made sure his face was close to yours, and it made you laugh “So I can kiss you when I wake up” he let you know before hugging you to sleep.
