“ Oh, it’s been all right. A bit lonely without the DA. Ginny’s been nice, though. She stopped two boys in our Transfiguration class calling me ‘Loony’ the other day-”

For Lily ; 

not only was she a singularly gifted witch, she was an uncommonly kind woman (x)

this isn’t how it ends (remus x reader)

Pairing: Remus x Reader headcanons 

Requested by the beautiful @pottergoldstein - I hope you like this sweet pea

so this is really long oops

You couldn’t pin point the exact moment when you realised you loved Remus Lupin 

But you knew that out of all the uncertainty that surrounded you

Your feelings for Remus were a solid truth

It all started in your third year

You were visiting a friend who had slid off their broomstick and plummeted through the air

They were still unconscious, lost in a dreamless sleep

But he was not

He was lying there, aching with pain, angry red gashes slicing his arms and chest, purple bruises blossoming beneath pale skin

You knew who he was, everyone knew the Marauders

And without his friends, Remus looked very lonely 

And something punctured your chest and forced you to walk over to his bedside

After introducing yourself, you and he began to talk

And you don’t know what made you do it, but you found yourself dipping your hand into your bag and pulling out your favorite book

“So you’re not alone,” you simply said, and with that, you gave him a smile and left

Your conversation with Remus followed you for the rest of the day like a shadow 

And at night, those eyes that sparkled with mischief and intellect haunted you until you thought you saw them peering into your dreams

The next day, you returned to the hospital wing with the hopes of seeing Remus

After his recovery, the two of you met up in the library and tucked yourselves away in the corner of the room, concealed by shelves of books and engulfed in deep and lengthy conversations

Your fellow Slytherins were unimpressed with your choice of friends

Because they knew that something wasn’t right with Remus 

But that didn’t bother you

Besides, you didn’t know who to trust anymore

But you knew you could trust Remus

Because he made you feel warm inside, like butterbear on a winters day

You began to adore his little quirks

How he spoke with his hands whenever he became passionate about topics he loved

And the way he perfumed the air around the two of you with the sweet, subtle scent of chocolate and cinnamon

It was around the end of third year that you began to get suspicious and you started asking him questions

You found ways to slide questions into the conversations discreetly, you disguised your words just so

Because you were very clever with words, a gift that was unique to you

But Remus, who had built up a barrier over the years, didn’t let you in

It was toward the end of your fourth year when you finally gave up and confronted him

You couldn’t miss the way he suddenly went rigid at your question

And the way his words seemed to freeze in his lungs

With a shaky breath, he rose from his spot on the floor and scanned the shelves for a book 

“What are you doing?” you asked him curtly, confusion and agitation rising in your chest

He didn’t answer

Instead, he pulled a dusty, old book from the shelf and placed it in your open hands

The Essential Defence Against the Dark Arts by Arsenius Jigger was suddenly in your lap

“Page 394” he whispered, blinking back what looked like tears 

You turned to the page, still confused and irritated 

And then you read the title

Werewolves 

Suddenly, all confusion and irritation that had dwelled in your chest evaporated and guilt began to pour through the cracks in your ribcage

It all made sense 

“You’re a -”

When you looked up, he was gone

Remus avoided you for a week

And you didn’t hear from him for most of the summer

Until the last week of the holidays

When you received an owl carrying a square package

It was the book you had given Remus when you first met, your favourite book

This isn’t how it ends you said to yourself

So after the holidays ended

You marched straight up to Remus and pulled him away from his friends

You dragged him through the tall hallways until you reached the library

You shoved him into the corner

And you kissed him 

You kissed him so hard, you thought the air from you lungs had been sucked into a vacuum

And when he began to kiss you back, you knew

You were head over heels in love with Remus Lupin 

When you broke away, his expression looked dazed and hungry 

The taste of chocolate on your lips and your thundering heart in his hands

“I don’t care that you’re a werewolf,” you breathed, “just don’t ever ignore me again,” 

“I’m sorry” he whispered, staring down at his feet

“I know,” you replied, at that, you kissed him again

That day, you gave your heart to a werewolf who you loved for all his cuts and scars

And that day, he finally felt like more than just a monster

He felt love  

And he knew he was finally home

bonus:

“Cough it up,” said Sirius from behind the bookshelf, beckoning James with an open palm “The deal was; five sickles if Remus and (Y/N) like each other,” 

“Well, we don’t know if they like each other,” said James, defensively, “They’re just...”

He peered around the corner and sighed. 

James gave Peter a desperate look for last-minute support, but all Wormtail could do was shrug. 

With another overdramatic sigh (which earned himself a face-splitting smirk from Sirius), James dipped his hands into his pockets and slapped the sickles into Sirius’s hands.

favourite hp ships: James x Lily

“How come she married him?” Harry asked miserably, “She hated him!“  "Nah, she didn’t,” said Sirius. “She started going out with him in seventh year,” said Lupin. “Once James had deflated his head a bit,” said Sirius. “And stopped hexing people just for the fun of it,” said Lupin.

One of the brightest I ever taught. Vivacious, you know. Charming girl. I used to tell her she ought to have been in my House. Very cheeky answers I used to get back too.
