They meet at university over a library dispute. Mainly, the library says it has a certain material that Regulus wants but Remus has it even though they are in completely different courses of study.
This happens. Repeatedly. On both sides. Remus decides to start leaving notes in the books as a passive way to be a dick and also poke fun at the situation where they both seem to be dong parallel work in different fields.
At this point, they haven’t interacted much if at all. Meanwhile, Remus has been carousing with Sirius, James, and Peter and having a grand old time even if he’s doing a lot of stuff out of his comfort zone.
This comes to a head when they are grouped together with poster presentations at a local mini conference on campus.
??? I have lost my thought path but typical ridiculous undergrad style hijynx
The Land of Metal Flowers
Where in I take Muggle as in Human but could also mean Wix
Remus Lupin has heard stories about humans and their strange magics. As someone who spends the majority of his time as a human, with one of his parents having been human in general, he has considered going out to see humans for himself
Humans are dangerous, everyone says so, and in this verse it is the human aspect of Remus’ physiology that is looked askance. Even so deep in the woods, or the wolf of faerie, there are stories of the destruction a human (or human wix) can cause. Humans destroy just to do so–wolves, well, if they aren’t alone always have reasons even if they can’t be reasoned with.
Remus has, in fact, slipped out to spy on humans, unbeknownst to virtually everyone he knows currently. Once, he went into a small grocery which ended up a fair amount of self defeating talk because money?? He couldn’t have known.
He made friends with some kids at a footie field that bordered the woods. He deflected talk about school, didn’t understand when they disappeared come fall.
One night, something happens in the glen where he’s lived all his life. The destruction is unfathomable and not provoked. He ran past the football field and down the street and knocked on a door that does not exist.
