Hello There.

Remus Lupin is my name.

Of Mice and Wolves [1976] Peter/Remus

[barty-crouch-jr]

Peter gave a small sigh as he rested his head in his shoulder. Naturally he put his arms around him and rested his head against his. “You’re a brave man, you know?” A lot braver than he was.

He gave a small chuckle. “You think? I guess… Stuff and things, you know?” He sighed. His thoughts turned back to his mother and what she had said before he left. Damn her.

[moonyinthedark-blog]

Remus leaned in a bit, feeling so comfortable next to Peter. He liked the company of his best friend, he also sort of always knew what to say. “I’m not that brave. I’m so scared of myself all the time.” 

“Stuff and things?” He let out a small laugh and nodded. “At least you’re getting away from home for a bit.” Remus knew that Peter had a difficult time.

[nymphdora-tonks]

He tasted so amazing, like nothing Tonks had experienced before. When he pulled away she was ready to catch her breath and dive in for another kiss, but his words stilled her. She opened her use the study his blurry image. “Hmm?” She hummed, still clutching his shirt. “Do you… want to go somewhere else?” She asked.

[moonyinthedark-blog]

Remus held onto her waist, his arms still wrapped around her tightly. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to kiss her, it just wasn’t a good idea. They were both drunk and he couldn’t start anything romantic with anybody. “Sure.” He nodded, not exactly sure what going somewhere else would entail.

[notsomild-dorcas-blog1]

“Only alright?” Doe asked, with a small frown, she wanted him to be having fun, she wanted everyone at the party to be having fun but especially him since he was so cute. “I get that, I kind of want to go adventure.” She grinned. “Nobody wants to go with me though, they’re having too much fun or something.” She said with a shrug, finishing off her drink and setting the cup down. “Would you wanna come adventure with me?”

[moonyinthedark-blog]

“Only alright. I was reading a pretty good book until I was dragged down here.” Remus shrugged, sighing a bit. “Where would you adventure?” He felt his cheeks blush again, why did this pretty girl want to hang out with him? She was sort of perfect in every conceivable way and she was talking to him, it just didn’t make sense. “I’ll join you though.” He stood up, excited to spend time with Doe, but also nervous as hell.

Of Mice and Wolves [1976] Peter/Remus

[barty-crouch-jr]

Pete chuckled and shook his head. “Remus Lupin, you’re the handsomest boy in the school! Even Sirius is envious of your scars! They make you seem rugged!” He ribbed giving him an encouraging smile.

He gave a defeated sigh and placed the money back in his pocket. “All right… I won’t push but… I feel bad, Remus. Every time there’s a full moon, I wish I was with you! I know the others do too… I just want to help without being here…” At the mention of Greyback he shuddered. He had seen the posters of the man and a few pictures in the prophet. He seemed more wolf than man…

“Moony, you’re just a Hogwarts Professor waiting to happen!” He chuckled. “But without pictures it’s just words and…” He faked snoring.

[moonyinthedark-blog]

“I don’t think so.” Remus gave Peter a small smile and then shook his head. “People stare at me a lot, you know. It’s just very fun.”

He shrugged and sighed, “I wish you lot were with me too, but it’s just easier. We don’t live close and I don’t want to inconvenience you.” He put his hand on Peter’s shoulder. “It’s alright. I get by just fine on my own.”

He let out a hearty laugh and shook his head, looking back down at his rugged shoes. “Peter, you just have your head in the clouds today.”

{1976} Drunk Adventures || Remus & Doe

[notsomild-dorcas-blog1]

“You having fun?” Doe asked, sipping her drink, still swaying to the music. He didn’t look like he was having a great time, but if she could change that she certainly would. The Ravenclaw noticed the blush on his cheeks but she chose to ignore it. “This party actually doesn’t suck, which is cool because the last one Mar dragged me to was so boring.” She laughed, tilting her head at him slightly, the room spinning a bit.

[moonyinthedark-blog]

“Umm it’s alright.” Remus mumbled, he felt nervous around her, his palms were all sweaty. He looked up at her and laughed. “I’m not really in a party mood.” He didn’t really have much to drink or even tried to dance. “I would rather just do something else I guess.” He shrugged.

{1976} Drunk Adventures || Remus & Doe

Doe was glad Marlene had invited her out tonight, it gave her a chance to talk to Remus, the boy she had maybe been crushing on for the past few months, though this probably wasn’t her best night. The girls had convinced her body shots were a good idea and the now drunk Dorcas really wanted to run around the castle and adventure. However, nobody wanted to run around with her so instead she danced around until she noticed Remus. “Oh hey.” She said, approaching him with a bright smile and a drink in hand.

@moonyinthedark

[moonyinthedark-blog]

Remus was a bit tipsy, he wasn’t really in the mood to go party but the guys had convinced him otherwise and Dorcas Meadowes would be there. He had the biggest crush on her, but of course nothing would ever really happen. Remus had only two drinks so he was just sitting in a chair in the corner watching the party, wishing it would end soon. 

He looked up to see a face smiling at him, oh great, it was Doe. He felt his stomach churn as he smiled and felt the blush. “Hi.” He waved.

Filth in the Streets: 1996 (Remus/Dolores)

Suspended from Hogwarts. It was a joke! A silly, silly joke! That Potter boy had ruined everything for her! She had it all! She was the headmistress of the school, she was in power, so much power! Now, it was all gone. All of it. It wasn’t even the same being back at the Ministry. She now received even more foul looks. It didn’t bother her, why should it? They had never been the head of Hogwarts as she had. 

After a hard day of work answering many owls from parents saying how they were insulted by her performance, she needed a distraction. Perhaps a new book would do the job. She left her desk and didn’t look back as she made her way into Diagon Alley and straight into Florish and Blotts without so much of a how do you do. 

Dolores found her way to the romance section and began to scan the shelves smiling to herself. Perhaps there would be a good book which held an ultimatum between cats and a man. Now, that would be a good read. She turned a corner and let out a shrill gasp as she nearly bumped into what looked to be a homeless wizard. “Excuse you.” She said simply, putting on her best smile. “You’re in the way. Perhaps you should wait outside dear, you make the shop look untidy.” She stopped and narrowed her eyes. She knew that man… He was familiar. “Hold on now… I know you, don’t I?” She questioned him.

Remus didn’t have much free time with the Order up and running again, but he needed to get away from all of it. His best friend had just slipped away from his fingers again, and this time it was permanent. Sirius had died and it left Remus heartbroken and feeling so alone. 

He decided to try and buy some books from Florish and Blotts, he needed to leave his flat as he hadn’t in days and books always seemed to cheer him up. He was walking around and reading through some book when he bumped into a woman. 

He furrowed his brow and crossed his arms, looking down at her. “Excuse me?” It was Dolores Umbridge, the biggest bitch and most evil woman. She was everything he was trying to fight against, she worked to oppress his kind and he heard all about her teaching methods from Harry. She wasn’t a good woman and Remus didn’t need this right now.

Of Mice and Wolves [1976] Peter/Remus

[barty-crouch-jr]

Peter gave an encouraging smile and then a nod. “They have to let you out every now and then, right? You need fresh air and people that aren’t adults.” He offered as he finished his truffle. 

He gave a heavy sigh and looked at him biting his bottom lip. “But you still feel pain. Moony, all I’m going to do is waste this on sweets. Take it or if not, then tell me which potions to buy and they can be your birthday and Christmas presents.” He stated, his hand feeling the weight of the pouch. It might seem like a lot but it wasn’t much compared to what his father had left him. It seemed that his dad had earn good money doing his odd jobs for people. His mother had always told him he was a handyman of sorts. A street merchant whenever the Ministry were cutting pay. 

“Pleasure?” He gave a small chuckle. “I don’t know how you do it. If I have to read anything that isn’t a comic book, I just fall asleep. It’s like being in class with Slughorn. I’d much rather be in bed.”

[moonyinthedark-blog]

“I go out in the town. There’s a great used bookstore. The muggle owner and I always talk about books, but people usually give me pretty strange looks because of how ugly I am.” Remus pointed towards his scars. 

He shook his head and hid his hands to Peter couldn’t shove the bag back. “No, I don’t want your money. I can handle this on my own. Mum is trying to get her old job back selling insurance. After the thing with Greybeck, it’s been hard in the Ministry for dad, but he’s working on gaining their trust again.” He frowned, not wanting to think about that horrible man. 

“Not gross stuff, idiot.” He pushed Peter’s head. “Reading is fun.”

Andromeda shook her head and looked at Remus, “Dorcas wasn’t like Dora; and I’m not saying this because she’s my daughter.” It wasn’t really, she knew he loved Dorcas, he really did, but he was never like this with her. He was in love with Tonks, the same way she was in love with Ted. “Then how can I survive without him?” her voice broke and she tried really hard not to cry, she couldn’t stop , no matter how much she tried she always managed to end up with tears in her eyes, “I know you do…”

[moonyinthedark-blog]

Remus had never said this out loud or really admitted it to himself. “Yeah,” He nodded, feeling tears start to well up in his eyes. “Dora is different. She’s my soulmate, you know?” He bit his lip and put an arm around Andromeda. “I don’t think I could do anything without her, so I can imagine you must be feeling awful.” He frowned, “But you are going to be alright. Okay? We are going to finish this dumb war and kill those assholes who did that to Ted.” He shifted, “If you need anything, I have some money saved up so I can help you out.” He kissed her cheek. “You’re so strong. You’ll get through this. You still have your daughter at least.”

[barty-crouch-jr]

Pete smiled more cheerfully as he mentioned hugging Sirius. He was sure that would only be hilarious to watch, especially if it was in the common room. “At least now he’s with James so it could be easier for us all to meet up!” He suggested.

As he mentioned the difficulties transforming Peter reached into his bag and took out a small pouch of money. It wasn’t something hard to come by for the Pettigrews, not since the money left behind by his dad. They had enough. “Go on, but some more potions on me mate…” He said slipping him a few galleons. He looked at him hard and nodded. “Don’t argue Moony, you need it more than I do.” He gave a simple smile and looked over at the books. “Don’t tell me they’re out books for this year… I don’t even want to think about the N.E.W.T.S.”

[moonyinthedark-blog]

Remus nodded, “Maybe my parents will let me go to the Potters for a weekend or something.” He really wanted to see James and Sirius, they were his best friend and summers were just so difficult without them. 

He raised an eyebrow and looked at him. “What?” He shook his head and pushed the pouch away. “Stop. I don’t like taking money. I’m fine without the potions. Look at me. I don’t even feel that much pain.” He bit his lip. “No no. I finished those ages ago. These are for pleasure.”

[barty-crouch-jr]

Peter went slightly quiet and slowly played with his fingers out of awkwardness. “It’s awful… I can’t imagine going through he did… I’m just glad he’s out, you know?” He said quietly. “He’d love that!” He chuckled. “How are you doing anyway, Moony?” He asked looking up from his hands. “With… You know…” He said butting his bottom lip.

Peter loved Remus, he was truly his best friend. Yet, even though he wouldn’t admit it, his condition frightened him, a lot. He trusted his friend and knew he would never hurt him but he couldn’t help but be afraid of what he became. Still, he had never showed that it bothered him, not once.

[moonyinthedark-blog]

“Yeah,” Remus nodded, sometimes he felt guilty for not liking his family situation. Sure, his parents loved him and cared about him, but he could see the hate for his kind in his father’s eyes. He knew what Lyall had said about werewolves and you couldn’t just stop hating something like that. But Sirius’ parents were insane, they hurt him and his mother was just awful. Remus just wished he could be more helpful. “Yeah, I’ll do that. He’ll get a good hug when we get back to Hogwarts, even if he doesn’t really want it.” Remus laughed and then stopped to looked at Peter, folding his hands in his lap. “Oh, well we can’t afford many potions to stop it from hurting and I have to transform without you guys so it hasn’t been a fun summer to say the least.” He looked at his pile of books. “But I’ve gotten a lot of reading done.”

Petitions and Payback [1974] Davey & Remus

[oh-davey-boy]

Davey sighed. “Those are all very good ideas, Remus, but wouldn’t it be better if the source of the problem was removed and nobody had to worry about it at all?” He frowned. There was no reason Davey could think of to keep the tree that would outweigh the danger it was to students. “You mean like aesthetic purposes?” Davey asked dryly, unimpressed. 

[moonyinthedark-blog]

“You’re the only one that has gotten hurt.” Remus sighed, looking at him. He didn’t want to talk about this anymore, he felt like shit just thinking about it. He wanted Davey to just leave him alone already. “No, like, weird Dumbeldore purposes.” He shook his head.

[barty-crouch-jr]

Peter smiled cheerfully and gave a small nod. “It was rather brilliant, I can’t believe that we actually did it! I can’t believe Sirius is a dog I mean… Well, doesn’t your name come from the Dog Star?” He chuckled. “About the only time I’ve ever paid attention in Astronomy was when she mentioned your name!” Peter grinned happily. “No safer than we already are… Right?” He asked the others. 

@marauder-sirius 

[marauder-sirius]

“Fucking hell, it is!” Sirius laughed. It was almost too much to believe. Even if he had only transformed once, Sirius knew he was going to have a blast with his time as a dog. Sirius went over and threw himself on the bed beside Remus, nudging him with a grin. This had all been for him. They wouldn’t have done any of it if it weren’t for their best friend. “We’ll be safe as hell, mate. Especially me. I can be the wolf’s playmate!” Sirius said excitedly.

[jamesprongstter]

James laughed and wrapped his arm around Remus neck, “We are going to be bloody amazing! we have to practice walking but by the full moon we’ll be experts.” he smirked proudly and looked at Pete, “We won’t turn to werewolves if it bites us, so that’s a big plus.” he replied and laughed harder at the mention of the names, “So we have Wolf McWolfson and Doggie the Bright Star? you can’t make this shit up.” he said with another laugh and looked at Remus, “I can keep the wolf at bay when it gets too wild, and Sirius can help, we’ll be fine.”

@moonyinthedark

[moonyinthedark-blog]

Remus grinned at his friends, trying to put on a brave front, but inside his stomach was churning. He thought it was pretty cool that Sirius was a dog and all, but he didn’t want him to be the playmate to the bloody wolf. “I am worried. I still could like kill you guys. Never mind turning into a monster like me. Peter is so small, I could take him up in one bite.” He shrugged, “So Wolf McWolfson is my name now?” He laughed, “We need something new.”

[marauder-sirius]

He was relieved when Remus dropped the line of questioning. He didn’t like talking to anybody about his troubles besides James. Even if he trusted Remus, it just wasn’t the same. Sirius nodded and threw the blanket off himself. He put on slippers and pulled over a robe over his pajamas. Quietly, he went to Remus’ bed and peered over his shoulder to look at the map. “The coast is clear,” he whispered. He took out his wand and motioned for Remus to follow.

[moonyinthedark-blog]

Remus nodded to Sirius, he didn’t really feel comfortable saying much, Sirius was just being so weird lately. He sighed and stepped into his slippers. Remus grabbed a red cardigan and folded up the map to slip it into one of the pockets. He walked down the steps and motioned for Sirius to follow him, flicking his wand to light it. “Come on.”

Andromeda nodded and cleaned fresh tears from her face, she couldn’t stop crying, she didn’t even feel the tears pouring anymore they just did, emanating from the whole in her heart, she couldn’t breath without feeling his lost, how could she keep on living?

“That’s good,” she said softly and looked at her hands and then at the spot next to her, “How would you feel if it was Dora?” she asked not wanting to think of Dora dying, she couldn’t handle that, but the analogy meant to be ‘how would you feel if you lost your soulmate?’, not her daughter.

[moonyinthedark-blog]

Remus looked at her with sad eyes and sat down next to her. He put a hand on her back and rubbed it softly. “Yeah.” He bit his lip and closed his eyes, trying to imagine a world without his wife. “Well, it’s happened to me before, but it was different, that time I lost everything.” He shrugged, “I don’t think I could survive without her.” He looked at Andromeda and whispered, “I love her so much. And I love you too, that’s important.”

“That can’t be possible,” Tonks shook her head. “Remus, you have never bit anybody before- not your friends, not me, so why would you bite your own baby?” She studied him and looked down to where his hand was. She gulped, then raised her eyes bravely to him. “I’m going to keep it.”

[moonyinthedark-blog]

“You can keep yourself safe, everyone knows how dangerous I am and how they need to stay away from me.” Remus looked at her and grabbed her hand, squeezing it, “A child could come looking for me. I could bite it, and then,” He gulped, “Well then I really am a monster, biting my own child.” He felt tears start to well up in his eyes. “I don’t want it.” He whispered, afraid to look at her.

{1995} Take Me Out | Remus & Tonks

[nymphdora-tonks]

Tonks sighed against his lips and felt a surge of satisfaction when he pulled her closer. There was barely any space between them; she was up against his chest, the wool of his cardigan brushing against her neck. She wanted to stay against him forever, wrapped in his arms and by the sweetness of the alcohol. She pressed against him more and deepened their kiss, running her tongue against his mouth.

[moonyinthedark-blog]

Remus wanted to keep kissing her, he enjoyed every bit of it, but he knew that this couldn’t last forever. Even drunk, he tried to have somewhat of a good judgement. It was too dangerous, he made a vow to never fall for a girl again. After a few more minutes of their tongues dancing with each other, he pulled his face away, still holding her body close. He let out his breath and looked into her eyes, “Tonks, I can’t.” He slurred.
