REMUS JONATHAN LUPIN NINETEEN GRYFFINDOR ALUMNUS ORDER OF THE PHOENIX Marauders

[gryffinborn]

Lily walked up to the doors of Flourish and Blotts, not quite as inviting as they usually were. Having spent her morning cutting up and squeezing juices out of herbs of Dittany in the darkened labs of St Mungo’s Potions floor, Lily was desperate for even a hint of sunlight in her lunch hour. And yet she found herself taking hurried steps towards one of her favourite, albeit indoor, refuges. While she generally enjoyed her training, there was an almost inordinate amount of reading (this coming from a girl who loved just about nothing more than reading!) she needed to do to understand the intricacies of magical diseases - what could be healed with a potion; what needed a charm; what could not be healed at all and only relieved of pain, for a short time; not to mention the utter inadequacies or rather inexistence of a Wizarding mental health plan. “I’d kill to be back at Hogwarts right now,” she muttered, “I don’t know how Pomfrey does it all alone.”

Books had always been there for him when he was unable to interact with other children when he was younger. So it’s to little surprise that he roams about Flourish and Blotts trying to find some kind of novel or even a textbook or something to occupy his time outside of work. That’s when he saw a familiar red haired woman walking through the store, probably in search of something new herself. It had been what felt like ages since he’s even seen Lily, but even in her presence he couldn’t help but smile—she had that effect on people. « Of course you would, nerd. » he teases with a playful nudge before turning to a bookshelf. « How’s the healer’s life, Lily ? »

Amos had been buried in paperwork at his job, along with his mood generally dipping further than it usually did. He wanted to break out of the typical routine that his life had suddenly adopted. He smiles more as he looks at Remus, his lips curling upwards for the first time in what felt like a while. “Great. You have no idea how happy that makes me. Are you ready to go now?”

« I have no idea ? » He repeats his statement as a question more for himself than anything else. As he scratches a spot on his head the teen lets out a small chuckle out of nervousness. Generally he does not really spend time outside of his circle of friends, which in hindsight might play a role in his feeling ostracized in his adult life. Either way, he knows that even spending so much as a few hours out of his life with other people might fair well by making himself feel less of a monster person. « Uh, yeah. We can head to a pub or something now if you’d like. »

“I don’t know, to be honest. It feels like I’ve been out of it for weeks, y’know? I think what I need right now is to get a little tipsy to get all this stuff outta my head.” He smiled a little, raising his eyebrows at the person standing near him. “So, what do you say? You up for a little pub crawl tonight? I’d hate to go alone.” He paused. “I’ll even pay for the drinks.”

Rem can completely empathize with Amos’s situation. Since he’s been working consistently he feels like he’s been missing everything that’s been happening. His routine remains to be the same. Work. Home. Put up with Sirius’s shenanigans. Sleep. And repeat. He’s not exactly complaining having a steady-ish income, but in the grand scheme of things, it does put a dent in a social life—not that he really had one outside of his circle to begin with. Still he smiles at Amos who just wants someone to talk to and Rem can’t exactly tell him no. « I need a break from reality, even for a moment’s time. Plus who can say no to a free drink ? »

Dorcas was relieved when it was Remus that made his way over to her. She knew him from school and was friends with Lily. She smiled as the boy focused on the child with her and she watched him take the chocolate. As the attention went to her, she listened to him and took a deep breath. “I know, but at least we have each other.” She tried being positive. “I have no idea. The Minister was announcing how much was raised when everything went crazy. I was making my way out of there when I tripped over him and no one was around to help and he was crying for his mom.” She took a deep breath once again. “I couldn’t leave him alone in there.”

With the little one properly distracted with the treat he’s enjoying, Rem focuses on the trail of events that led to what he just witnessed. From the sounds of things she is unaware of what exactly started the pandemonium, but he has an inkling of a suspicion that it might just be the same culprits that were behind the attack at Hogwarts last year. « You did the right thing saving this boy, Dorcas. » He had to point out for the chances of him surviving on his own are slim. Their first course of action is to take the child to safety. But where exactly could they go? « We should move somewhere safer than this stand, we’re basically sitting ducks here. »

Everything was chaos. The Minister was just about to announce how much they had made throughout the day when darkness took over. There were screams, spells flying everywhere, and people running. Dorcas wasn’t sure what to do, but she tried to fight whoever was close to her. She pushed through the crowd to find someone she knew to help her, but then she tripped and fell over a child. Her heart ached as she went to the boy and picked him up, taking off with him to try to bring him to safety. She ended up in one of the booths that was for a game when she hid and looked out for anyone. Finally, she saw someone and waved to them. “Hey! I need your help!”

Remus isn’t one to really be a part of festivities put on by the ministry, mostly because he would rather work, but his boss had to drive him out of there since he has been working himself ragged. A mandatory leave. As if such a thing really exists for a simple bartender. Still, he doesn’t want to upset his boss so the ministry funded event was the only thing he could really think of. When he showed up everything was in disarray. Spells flying left, right, and center. Screams filled the streets as people tried their best to shield the children from any harm. Without much thought he already pulled out his wand and was trying to ward away any hexes and curses that have gone astray. In his doing so he noticed a familiar face hiding in a booth not too far from him. Dorcas Meadows she ran in the same circle as Lily, if he wasn’t mistaken. Still he darted over to the booth and hid there with her, noting a small boy there with her. His eyes filled with worry and on the verge of crying. In order to appease him and keep him quiet so not to give away their safety, he pulls out a chocolate bar and offers it to the little boy. « If I give you this, do you think you can behave yourself ? » Rem doesn’t wait for a response since he hands over the candy anyways. His attention is drawn to the boy’s protector. « Hey, Dorcas. Wish we were meeting under better circumstances. What all can you tell me about what happened ? »

Once Remus gave him a smile, Edgar was glad he had taken up on the offer. He often wondered what Owen’s classmates had been like after hearing enough about them. Nodding, Edgar returned his smile, “He’s been well enough, I suppose. We haven’t seen too much of each other since his graduation. But how are you, Remus? Where are you nowadays?”                 

The werewolf was a bit surprised to hear that Owen had not been in contact with the eldest Bones since graduation, but then again he can relate. He has not seen his father since the start of his last year at school. Of course he’s sent him a letter or two here and there updating him about what little changes that’s been happening in his life but has been rather bad about replying back. From what he’s gathered his dad has been adjusting to permanently living alone and working long hours for the Ministry. « I’ve been, err, living. I’m a bartender over at the Leaky Cauldron. What about yourself, Edgar? »

The last thing Alice had expected when heading out in to the forest was to run into Remus Lupin lighting fires and running around with runespoors. She was especially glad to see her former lion, once a Gryffindor always a Gryffindor of course, but right now their where clearly more pressing things on his mind. Then suddenly there’s a Mongoose and it’s growing and shit like this is the reason Alice really loved magic. “Is there anything I can do to help or are we just gonna let the mongoose take over from here?”

With the conjured mongoose around Rem hopes that it would be enough to take down the runespoor, if not at least it would provide enough time for him to come up with a back up plan. His attention is brought back to his former classmate and now current auror-in-training when she began to speak. « We should probably head for cover so we don’t get engulfed in this fight. » he warned the woman, before sprinting off to his right towards a large oak tree. The screeching of the three headed creature was sharp enough to make him wince in pain, but he soon slid down against the grass to the protection of the tree. « Alice, did you come here with a partner or were you left solo? »

Remus Lupin (3.10.1960) - Pisces 

I was given Pisces since that’s my sign, and I chose Lupin since we actually share the exact same birthday :’)  Pisces is a water sign that has to do a lot with losing yourself in daydreams/inner reflection, so I wanted to combine the circling fish motif of Pisces with the full moon significant to Lupin, making them work together to become a Pensieve. The moon for Lupin is tied so intricately with his best and worst memories, and like a true Pisces he’s lost in these memories throughout his life, plagued by the guilt they bring while also clinging to them as a means of reaffirming his sense of humanity. 

The circling fish also mirror the cyclical nature of the moon, shown in the phases. He’s in the center of all these cycles forever. 

Here’s a bonus Lupin eating fish n chips tho to lighten the mood

alice wished someone had thought to warn her before starting training to become an auror just how much paperwork actually went into the entire thing; she thought she’d be out on daring raids by now but no, the most she’s done is lecture a few teenagers for use of underage magic and patrol some woods. still, it was nice to be outside and when smoke she spotted smoke only a few yards away she hoped there may be some excitement after all. remus and a particularly frustrated runespoor wasn’t exactly what alice had been expecting, but a pleasant enough surprise anyway. “woah.” she whispered softly, glancing over at him. “what is it doing here? how did you find it?” she quickly looked between remus and the creature, unable to get her questions out fast enough.

The werewolf could not believe that the spell bounced off the creature just now, and almost immediately the tree was engulfed in flames. Definitely a problem he’ll have to address later since the runespoor is more determined to kill him now. Just then Alice Fortescue appeared, someone he hasn’t seen since they graduated from Hogwarts years ago. He heard that she was accepted into the auror’s program, something that he would have wanted for himself had he not been cursed to forever be a werewolf. « In that order: don’t know and it found me. » In any other circumstances he would be happy to see an old housemate, but with his life currently in jeopardy a mini reunion will have to wait. « Mongoosortia » It was the first spell to come to mind when his previous one didn’t work out so well. An average sized mongoose appeared in front of him and when it saw the runespoor it was already ready to attack, but the only problem is that compared to the creature it was too small. To offset the difference in size he quickly pointed his wand at the feliform and muttered, « Engorgio » causing his conjured mongoose to grow to the point to rival that of the runespoor.

Weeks after taking in and fostering the young Common Welsh Green, Marlene had set out to find the perfect place to set the little guy free. Somewhere sure to keep Kingston safe from the hands of dragon killers and any that had a desire to bring harm to the world’s most extraordinary creatures. Keeping Kingston close to their body, arm gripped firmly yet not too harshly, the two had a long journey ahead of them, or so Marlene had planned. But then, at the sound of commotion coming from across the forest, their head snapped and their face paled, a glimpse of pure horror in their eyes at the possibilities that crossed through their mind. Pulling out their wand, Marlene quickly cast a disillusionment charm to hide the dragon, wandering deeper into the woods towards the source once it held. 

Moments later, fire erupted, and eyes widened as their pace accelerated, heart now racing as the adrenaline kicked in, prepared for a fight. But then, the young wixen caught sight of a familiar lanky, light-brown haired male, unable to help the chortle that followed as they approached, prepared to make a snarky comment until eyes landed upon a BEAUTIFUL sight, widening is disbelief as they took a few steps toward Remus. “ How is that possible?” they whispered, loosening their grip as the dragon started to become restless, eventually slipping them loose, half-forgetting of the previous charm. “ Is it hurt?” they asked, hardly noticing Remus’ current state, as they continued stepping closer. 

With the tree starting to violently burn there was smoke that starts to fill the air around them, which is why when he notices a familiar face popping out nearby he was only mildly surprised. « Marls? » he calls out to them, trying to figure out if he really is seeing them or if he’s just somehow imagining it all. They seemed to be mesmerized by the appearance of the runespoor, which all things considered he should have realized this would have been the case since Marlene seemed fascinated with magical creatures. « Don’t get too close. I don’t want you to get hurt. I’m pretty sure I agitated it just now. » If he doesn’t come up with a plan soon then they might actually be done for. While he scans the beast his mind goes back to what he knows about it from various readings he did back in Care for Magical Creatures and stuff his dad’s journal mentioned. Obviously hitting the scales will just cause the spells to ricochet...his eyes lit up when the thought hit him. How could he have been so daft? « Marls, I need your help. I’m going to launch the Runespoor into the air and if we both cast the freezing charm at its underbelly it might be enough to incapacitate it. Think you can do that? »

Sirius had just wanted to wind down after work so he’d headed to the pub throwing back a few drinks with whoever he met there, but he soon grew tired of it. But when he made his way home he remembered that Remus was still at work and James was nowhere to be found. That left him puzzled for several moments, because really, where else did he have to go? He wasn’t working, and weren’t all his friends here? Sirius liked to think so anyway. It seemed he was out of luck as he wouldn’t find the company of his friends. Drinking alone was kind of lame, but that was the situation he now found himself in. 

He’d had a lot to drink at the pub, but he wasn’t looking for it to wear off just yet, so he made his way to the fridge grabbing another beer to keep himself in his current state. The rest was a bit of a blur, he remembered going into Remus’ room, looking for a book or something of the like but becoming frustrated when he wasn’t able to find it, possibly knocking a few off the shelf in his state. After that he’d thought he went back to his room and crawled into his bed, but it seemed it wasn’t his bed when he felt a spray of water hit his face and pull him from his sleep. Looking around he realized his mistake, but shot his friend with a silly grin anyway. “Moons! Now your bed is gonna smell like a wet dog! Why would you want that? Not to mention it was just cruel waking me like that,” he pouted. “I swear I thought this was my bed!”

His eyes closed immediately and he pinched the bridge of his nose for a few seconds when Sirius mentioned ‘wet dog’ « For the love of Merlin, please don’t shift into a dog now. » Literally the last thing he needs is for the place to smell like that, especially since his room is already trashed. Sometimes you just can’t leave him or James alone to their own devices because that’s when they start feeding off each other and the results are not pleasant. He staggers towards the bed and instead of fighting him to move over, he plops himself on the least occupied space of the mattress. His clothes are starting to dampen due to the water he spelled earlier, but he’s way too exhausted to deal right now.  « Someone’s home early. And from the smells of it you went rummaging through the fridge for beer. You should have visited me at work and make it less unbearable. »

Location: New Forest

In an attempt to save every bit of money he’s earned at work Remus does his best to procure as many ingredients he can in the wild. Only those that are extremely dangerous he goes to various potion shops to try and get the best deal possible. Today’s visit has him in search of a unicorn in New Forest so he could obtain a few strands of its hair, a useful ingredient in several potions, the only real problem is locating said unicorn. As Rem wandered aimlessly about the thick forest he could hear the cacophony of incessant hissing coming from behind him. Without trying to make very large movements he subtly peers over his shoulder to see two heads of an enormous runespoor following behind him. From what he’s remembered from his father’s collection it’s that they are native to Africa, so seeing one here is rather uncharacteristic of them. Either way he reached for his wand from his back pocket and aimed the tip towards the general direction of where he saw the creature all while he continues to pretend to be oblivious of the runespoor’s presence. « Confringo » Rem’s voice falls barely above a mutter as the spell rebounds off the scales of the beast and hits a nearby tree, causing it to catch fire. « Great, now you’re pissed... »
