"Just watch the poor Remus bit around poor Remus," He said without any malice. "It bothers him when people feel sorry for him. I dunno what you do or don’t know about that, but…When you poor Remus him all he wants to do is go to class and not rest when he really should be resting."

He smiled at her and nodded, “See. Not so painful to say yes,” He chuckled. “I promise I’ll keep a leash on James. I know he can be a bit…over the top in your presence, but I promise he’s a good bloke under it all or I wouldn’t be trying so hard to get him a date.”

"Various members of my family would probably curse me for saying it, but purebloods have far more squibs these days than muggleborns and half bloods. My mum and dad are cousins. I’m lucky I wasn’t born with an extra head let along a squib," He smirked. Lily had been at Hogwarts a long time, but he didn’t know if she really knew much of the inner workings of pureblood families.

"Oh, he knows that I just use the 'poor Remus and 'poor Lily' as an excuse to stuff us with chocolate," Lily snorted, thinking of how strong Remus actually was. "Have you ever tried to 'poor Remus' him right after baking, when offering him a slice of chocolate pie? I'd pretend to be dying to have one," she added shamelessly, food being the thing that had pushed them to bond during their patrols. 

"I know he is... Insufferable at times, but good. And don't tell me it's not true, I know you get exasperated too when he's too hyper." Well, she didn't know but she suspected it. "He's trying really hard to do a good job as Headboy, isn't he?"

Now, she had no idea that Purebloods were in that kind of troubles, though it partly explained their fixation with blood purity. "I... was told about Purebloods and Halfbloods and Muggleborns by... someone who probably wasn't... very reliable, so there is still a lot of stuff that I don't know... Including things that I know they should be obvious, so I can't even ask my roommates..." she was looking down at her lap, obviously not liking being in the dark. "Hey... about that... Do you... Did you ever see some sort of animal pull the carriages that bring us to Hogwarts from the Hogsmeade station?" She knew the other girls hadn't seen anything, but it was since the previous Christmas that Lily was worried about hallucinating black creatures.

Harry Potter AU in which Remus Lupin doesn’t leave Hogwarts after Snape tells everyone he’s a werewolf

instead, he fucking stays where he belongs

and, as the howlers start coming, insults exploding at the teacher’s table every morning like clockwork, the students take notice. They see Lupin’s face, and he’s not even angry, he looks fucking resigned to it, like he deserves it.

So, the students take matters into their own hands. 

"You’re the best teacher EVER" is heard on a Monday morning, followed by a “We really like your classes” on Tuesday and “Thanks for being such a cool guy. AND FOR THE CHOCOLATES” on Wednesday.

by Friday, things have escalated to the point that you can’t  go ten minutes without a howler bursting and showering Lupin in compliments.

(It’s a whole month before the fateful “YOU HAVE A VERY CUTE ASS, 10/10 WOULD BANG! ” and the subsequent banning of all howlers for the teachers.

Snape has never looked more constipated in his life.)

"Perhaps he would," Sirius nodded. "And perhaps, a certain someone doesn’t think his hair quite as ridiculous as she likes to say it is," He smirked at her a little. Sirius laughed a little, but only managed to get as far as the chair a little closer to Lily when she asked him to wait. He sighed resting his cheek against his hand as he leaned on the arm of the chair.

"So you’re a freak and I’m a blood traitor. What a team we make," He did manage a smile at that hoping that she could manage one as well. "I don’t mind you comparing your situation to mine. They’re not so different, I suppose, though I reckon I would take thrilled parents and vile sibling over a tolerable sibling and vile parents," He made a face.

Sirius took the package, “Oh, if I feed Remus anymore chocolate, he’s going to explode,” He grinned. “The poor thing can’t seem to keep any weight on,” It worried him even knowing the reason behind it.

"You’re a good person, Lily. Don’t let them make you doubt that," He said with a nod. "Will we see you tomorrow in Hogsmeade? I’m sure James would love to buy you a butterbeer. Among other things."

[notsoperfectprefect]

Lily bit back a smile, deciding that, after all, she liked Sirius Black, "I never said it was a bad kind of ridiculous. But don't tell him. I want to see his stupid face when he realizes that I'm not insulting him. Well, not as much as before, anyway. I guess his hair tend to grow on you." 

She actually snorted, which might have been another first when Black was concerned - not that he never said anything funny, but she had had too much pride to let herself show amusement. She had been so immature. "We should put that on shirts. I'm sure that the Slytherins would appreciate it... and take it this way: at least we know how not to be with potential future kids. If I'll get to be a mom, you can bet that baby is going to be extra-spoiled whether he is a wizard or a squib." 

Snape had already told her plenty times his suspicions about Remus being a werewolf, when they still talked, and she had no idea if it was true or not but in any case it certainly counted as being sick. The few books she had read after they had talked about it told her that full moon took a tool on werewolves "Yes, I have elected myself as his new grandmother," she informed him in a mock formal tone, "And I will keep giving him chocolate until the end of the year, know that. He deserves all the treats, poor Remus." 

She arched an eyebrow at being called a good person, not sure she had really earned it. "I hadn't planned on... You know what? I'll ask Mary if she wants to go with me. I miss Hogsmeade... and Honeydukes." 

[excongodfather]

"On my better days, I’m a Potter," He didn’t feel as though he deserved to be a Potter. He saw the Potters as the greatest parents who had ever lived. Despite the things James would complain about, he always saw how wonderful they were. "It’s not that I don’t care," He said softly. "It’s that the cost of caring about them only hurts me more."

Sirius started to stand up. He felt uncomfortable and uncertain. There were very few people that he was comfortable being that way around, and he wasn’t sure that Lily was one of them just yet.

"Maybe there’s still hope for your sister. I mean…She’s a muggle. Not like your family history can be that bad. Your parents were pretty thrilled from what I remember. She might come around yet."

[notsoperfectprefect]

"I think that your other brother, the one you have got with ridiculous hair, would be eternally offended by that 'on my better days'," Lily remarked lightly. For all of Potter's flaws, she knew that he was a loyal, brave friend who would never let Black feel left out. They were always together and she wasn't surprised in the least that the two lived together at his place now. He was a good bloke, she had always known that, and while now that he was a Head Boy he was showing it more, he had always been a fantastic friend. The kind who didn't walk around with people who planned on killing you and people like you after school. The kind that didn't throw slurs at you when distressed. 

"Wait a second," she told Black when she saw him about to leave, pulling a large napkin from her bag, "My parents were thrilled," she confirmed, emptying the bag of cookies on the napkin, her heart hurting at that memory. She wanted to tell Black about them and about Petunia, if anything because since the O.W.L.s everything had changed and she hadn't had anyone to talk about, Snape had always been the one she confided to and she didn't know where to start with her roommates. "But...she thinks I'm a monster. Her petname for me is 'freak'. She's repulsed by magic and everything that has it," she gave him a smile, attempting to make her words sound a little less harsh. "I'm not comparing mine situation with yours, obviously, but... this past summer turned out to be even worse, and I doubt she'll ever want to see me as a sister... or human being again. Here, have this," Lily lifted the little package she had made wrapping the napkin around the cookies with a knot and bow, "Share with your friends and tell Remus I'm still not giving up on fattening him. He knows what I mean."

He had definitely matured now, especially since his newly appointed job as “Head Boy”. Dumbledore thought that he had the maturity to handle it. A realization occured to the young Gryffindor that maybe he needed to prove his maturity to not only Dumbledore, but to Lily as well. Since the beginning of the year, James had begun to mellow out, proving to Lily that he wasn’t just an arrogant prat.

"No, I’m still patrolling with you. I just thought I’d change up my compliments."

[notsoperfectprefect]

"Oh."  Well, that was not exactly the most articulate comment she had ever made, but she felt she had the right to be less than brilliant after that. "Well, thank you, that was a real nice one," she said stiffly, acutely aware of how she had managed to make sound that as an insult, embarrassment always sounding more like anger when coming from her. 

"Look, you haven't missed a patrol and I know that the Quidditch training is getting harder now that the game is close... If you actually wanted to skip one when you are too tired, I wouldn't... complain," Lily said in a somehow nicer tone, not just the compliment but his whole attitude softening her enough to allow that sentence to come out; she had been thinking about it since one of her dorm-mates had been complaining about her poor boyfriend being constantly exhausted and she still didn't know how Potter did it.

"Hey there, Rudolph."

"I'm pretty sure tissues exist so you won't sneeze on me."

"Ugh! Cover your mouth!"

"You sound awful, you know that?"

"And you've been like this how long?"

"You really can't take care of yourself, can you?"

"Oh, gross! I better not get sick!"

"What are you doing here? You should be in bed."

"You're kind of adorable when you're sick. You know, in a pathetic way."

"Stop it! You're getting your germs everywhere!"

"I'm taking care of you, and that's final."

"I don't care if I get sick. I just want to help you get better."

"Did you sleep last night?"

"You've been coughing an awful lot. You okay?"

"Jesus! That the tenth time you've sneezed on me today! What is your problem?"

"Did you just throw up?"

"Do you need more blankets?"

"Is it too hot or too cold?"

"Hmmm, you definitely have a fever."

"I think it's bedtime for you."

"You have to take the medicine, or you won't get better!"

"Hey, you alright? You look pale."

"Here, just take the whole box of tissues."

"Gosh, you must be really sick..."

"I’m sure someone would help you find a place to go," Sirius had had James. He was sure that one of Lily’s friends would help her or even the professors if she told them the situation, but he didn’t want to press the issue. He didn’t pretend to understand what it was like with her in this situation.

"I don’t love them," He said about his family. His jaw tight. "They’ve never done anything worthwhile or anything vaguely suggesting they care about me at all," He had no intention of giving her the full story of everything he’d been through. "It’s not just Regulus. It’s the whole lot of them. I’m sure you can read about their array of awful choices in the library," His shoulders tensed. He shook his head. "I don’t see my brother anymore. I just see a stranger," He admitted.

[notsoperfectprefect]

Lily bit her lip, thinking of how, despite always being surrounded by people, nobody was that close. Her roommates would have found a way, probably, during their first years, but now they had grown apart. Severus couldn't have helped her because his situation was much worse and in any case they were done. And even if there was someone with enough money to just give her a place to stay... "I don't think so. But even if they did, I wouldn't go. Wouldn't want to attract... bad attention on another family," she murmured, knowing he'd understand quickly what kind of attention a Muggleborn could get. She wondered if pureblood ever thought about the fact that all their choices were done thinking that they might be murdered any time and become another name on the papers. "Plus, despite what Slughorn thinks, I am all Gryffindor. I don't want people's pity. Or their charity." 

She nodded at his words; she wasn't going to tell him that he should try, she had no idea of what he had been through but she was sure it had been hell. One look at the rest of the school was enough to see how much hate there could be between people living together, but coming from your family was even worse. "I wish I was that good at not... caring. I'd feel less stupid," she sighed, resting her head over open palm as she looked at him. Finally, her lips curled up into a smile, "I tend to forget that you are a Black. I mean, I know your last name, obviously, but... come on, You are a Potter too."

[notsoperfectprefect]

"I can't relax, okay?!"

"Potter! Remus is going to be alright, it's... it's Remus!" Lily protested, arms crossed as she leaned against the wall next to the door. She had gone to the hospital wing because that day she had managed to hurt herself at Potions getting distracted over someone, and had found Potter arguing with Madam Pomfrey because apparently Remus had gotten very sick during class or something of that sort and he wanted to see him. The nurse had refused at least for the moment and she hadn't had the heart to abandon him like that while his friends were still in class. That, and she was just pretending to be calm. "You know him. He's going to feel guilty if he finds out you are this much worried. He feels guilty about everything."

"Oh, believe me, Evans, I will be telling James all about our fireside chat alone in the common room," He smirked. "Albeit without giving away any confidences," He added not wanting her to think that she couldn’t speak freely around him.

"Your sister sounds like right pain in the arse," He knew muggles could be as awful as the next person, but so many of them romanticized magic, he had thought they’d enjoy her magic. "You can do what I do and just never go back," His shoulders tensed a little, but he tried not to betray himself. He didn’t want anyone to think he cared. He wasn’t mean to care. "I walked out last summer. I’m not allowed back anymore."

"They’re happy. They have Regulus to be the perfect heir and I’ll…figure something out. The Potters are great. They let me stay in the summer." He explained. "I’d be in much worse shape if they weren’t so kind." He smiled a little.

[notsoperfectprefect]

Lily understood immediately what he meant and had to keep herself from grinning at him, still not sure of how far she could push herself. Black was unpredictable and she didn't want to assume he'd play along. However she snorted at his comment about her sister. "That she is," she chuckled, "But where should I go? The streets? I'd be on the papers by next morning."

So it was true that he had been living with the Potters. The fact that they had just taken him in as if it was the most normal thing in the world made Lily smile; for how annoying James Potter could be, she knew that he would have done the same, it was probably a family thing. "They sound amazing," she agreed, "Though it would be much easier if you didn't care, wouldn't it? I know it would for me, I love her as I always did," she confessed with an easy smile, because even if it was humiliating at times, or all the time, Petunia was always in her heart. "I cannot imagine how hard it would be to see her here every day... It's already hard enough to see Se... people I don't want to see and that aren't related to me, let alone my sister."
