The Yule ball was only weeks away and every student was excited about it.
Everyone was rushing around to find a perfect partner or to finally ask that one person out.
It was obvious for James that he would go with Lily since they were dating. Sirius would just wing a girl he fancies at the time.
At the tables of the great hall the marauders were gathered around. James was sitting next to Lily with his arm around her on the opposite of them sat Remus and Sirius.
“So, who are you taking to the yule ball?” – Lily asked Sirius.
He shrugged his shoulders “I guess Cecilia”
Everyone frowned “I thought you fancied Georgina?” – Remus asked him confused.
Sirius laughed “That was last week, keep up Remus” – he added patting him on the back.
You entered the great hall with your friends. Sirius nudged him and he looked straight at you.
You waved at him and he waved awkward back.
“So, when are you going to ask Y/n out?” – Lily asked Remus when she noticed his behaviour.
“What …” – He asked confused turning his attention to her.
Lily rolled her eyes and the others laughed.
“Just ask her to the Yule ball” – Lily said again.
“I …I can’t” – Remus stuttered.
“Why not?” – James asked pulling Lily closer to him.
“Because I’m scared” – he said soft, lowering his head.
“Remus, ask her out before someone else does” – Sirius said furious.
“Alright … Alright” – he said laughing “I’ll ask her but it has to be special”.
the next class was Potions. You stood diagonal from Remus and his friends.
You were preparing your potion when a note landed on your desk. You frowned and looked quick around to see from who it was.
No one seemed to give you attention so you grabbed the note and read on the front “open when your alone”.
You pressed the note against your chest and smiled, finding it sweet that someone gave you a note.
After class your friends asked you to come with them to their common room.
“You can go without me” – you said luring them away “I … I have something to do first.”
They all giggled and left you alone.
You sat yourself down at the bottom of the stairs and took the note from your pocket.
Remus had followed you from class and was now hiding behind a pole to see your reaction.
You took a deep breath and quickly looked one more time around to see if you could spot someone.
You opened the note and immediately little hearts sparked out of it. You were amazed and a huge smile appeared on your face when the hearts surrounded you.
Remus was smiling from afar and watched your reaction closely.
You then looked down and read the note “You are the most beautiful and talented witch I ever met”
An even bigger smile appeared on your face and you quickly kept reading.
“Y/n do you want to go to the Yule ball with me, signed Remus Lupin”.
You almost cried of joy, and pressed the note against your chest, holding it close to your heart.
Remus came out of his hiding place and walked over to you.
You were surprised you didn’t expected him to be here “Remus” – you said quickly standing up.
He gave you a goofy smile and you wiped some tears away.
“Y/n” – he said soft “Did you like the note” – he asked cautious.
“I loved it Remus” – you said still holding it close to your heart.
“I loved every single bit of it” – you said smiling “but how did you make those hearts?”
He smiled at you and wiggled a bit with his head “That’s a secret”.
You smiled proud at him back.
“So…” – he started “what do you say Y/n?”.
You wanted to react but he responded again “It’s okay if you don’t want to, I understand but I hope you say yes but I understand if you are already going with …” – Remus kept babbling.
You tried to interfere but it was useless so you placed a soft kiss on his cheek and he immediately stopped talking.
“I love to go with you to the Yule ball” – you said smiling.
Remus was a bit shocked by the kiss “Alright … “– he said.
“I will see you then Y/n” – he said placing his fists calmly against the wall.
“I mean not like I’m not going to see you in the days between … but you know what I mean”.
“I understand” – you said trying to control your laughter.
He turned around almost bumping into a pole, and you couldn’t control your laughter.
“Wow, a pole…” – he said smiling like a fool, you covered your mouth with your hand to stop yourself from laughing.
“Has this always been here?” – he asked trying not to be awkward.
“I believe it did”- you said trying to control your laughter.
He patted the pole slow and before he left he turned around to look at you one more time.
Once he entered his common room his friends surrounded him.
“What did she say?” – Lily said almost jumping out of her skin.
“Tell us some details” – Sirius said sitting backwards on a chair, leaning against the back.
“Oh no she said no didn’t she” – James said coming out of the bed.
Remus tried to speak but everyone wouldn’t let him.
“Oh no Remus I’m so sorry” – Lily said.
“Lily …” – he tried to say but Sirius already said another thing “I knew it (your Hogwarts house) girls are always like that.”
“Sirius …” – he tried to speak again but James already got in defence mode “I will have to have a serious word with Y/n for hurting you like that” – he said angry, walking towards the door.
“No!” – Remus said stopping James from leaving “guys listen to me she said yes”.
“Oh” – James said surprised “well in that case, good job Mooney” – he added by patting him on the back.
“I’m so happy for you” – Lily said wrapping her arms around him.
“Way to go Moons” – Sirius said winking over to him.
Just like everyone else Remus couldn’t wait for the Yule ball.
Today was the day and you were getting ready with your friends.
Your friends and you were having a blast while putting on lipstick, you all told each other who your dates were and how thrilled you all were for tonight’s dance.
You wore a strapless dress in (your favourite colour) that fell wide open. It gave you a princess feeling.
Everyone was waiting downstairs and you took a deep breath before walking down the stairs.
As you walked down you could see Remus gaping at your beauty.
“Remus” – you said as you stood in front of him.
“You … You look beautiful Y/n” – he stammered, still gazing at you.
“Thank you” – you said shy, looking down for a moment at your dress “You look handsome yourself”.
Remus smiled shy back at you and offered you his arm “May I?”.
You placed your arm around his and walked with him towards the ball.
As you entered you were amazed by the beauty, snowflakes were falling slowly down and the ball had a wintery feeling.
Remus lead you to his friends for a moment “Everyone I want you to meet Y/n properly”.
“Y/n these are my friends: Lily, James and Sirius” – he said pointing at each of them.
“Lovely to meet you all” – you said smiling.
“Likewise,”- James replied and kissed Lily on the cheek.
“Oh” – Lily said out of the blue “James can we dance on this song?”
James didn’t really had a say in this because Lily was already dragging him towards the dancefloor.
Remus took a small bow “May I have this dance Y/n?”
“You may certainly have” – you replied with a small curtsy.
He then leads you to the dancefloor.
He placed his one hand on your hip and his other fitted perfectly into yours.
You placed your free hand on his back and he waltzed with you perfectly.
Both of you let yourself be consumed by the music and the dance. For a moment it fell as if you were the only two dancing.
Feeling soft snowflakes fall on your skin you looked deep into his eyes.
Remus his hair had caught a few snowflakes by now, “Y/n” – he started.
He stopped dancing for a moment and gazed at your beauty.
Snowflakes kept falling and Remus tilted your chin, Looking at your lips for a moment.
You closed your eyes and Remus leaned closer to kiss you.
His touch was soft and felt familiar, his kiss was passionate.
Both of you had waited for this moment, the music kept playing on the background as you moved your hands to his neck.
Remus pulled you closer to him, moving his hand towards your cheek.
As you pulled away, both of you smiled like a fool.
“I … I love you Y/n” – He said shy.
“I love you too Remus” – you said soft back, holding his cheek.
He quickly kissed you again and twirled you around for a few times.
You placed your head against his chest while slowly dancing around.
