Word Count: 2.2k

Warnings: Mentions of injury and bullying, cursing

Title from: Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You by Franki Valli

The library was full and bustling with students. You sat near the back, your assignments sprawled out in front of you. And while your quill floated above your parchment, dark ink sliding off of the tip, your eyes were trained on someone across the room, your essay forgotten.

Remus Lupin sat on the other side of the library, surrounded by books and his friends. You watched as his eyebrows drew down in concentration and how he flexed his hand as he thought. The habit was familiar to you as you watched Remus quite often. It wasn’t in a creepy way but in a sad lovesick way. You were a Slytherin and the boy who had garnered your affection was a Gryffindor so it seemed as if the only way to know him was to watch him. The old house rivalry stopped most Gryffindors and Slytherins from ever interacting, so you soaked up Remus in any way that you could. So you found yourself watching him at meals and during class. You almost felt bad for how often your eyes were on him, you were almost surprised that you hadn’t burned holes into him from your stare. But to be fair, with Remus, there was a lot to look at.

Remus was tall and lanky with surprisingly broad shoulders. He was often slouched and when he was tired he’d roll his shoulders back and stretch. His hair was a golden brown with slight curls spilling from his head. It often flopped in his face when it got long and he was constantly running his fingers through it. His fingers were long and nimble with the nails bitten down and callouses against his fingertips. You often found yourself imagining what it would feel like if he slipped his hand into yours and if they were as rough as they looked or if the skin was soft. 

At this moment, you found yourself staring at his scars. The way they zigzagged across his exposed skin; one down his neck, one down his cheek, carving out his high cheekbone, and one running through his left eyebrow. You thought his scars were beautiful, adding a hint of ruggedness that juxtaposed his soft nature. You wondered how he felt about them and you wished from deep in your soul that he didn’t hate them. 

You knew how easy it was to hate scars. You had a nasty one that ran from the back of your knee down to your ankle, gently curving around your calf. You had gotten it when an older student had pushed you down in the courtyard in your third year. You had fallen back into a bush and your skin had gotten caught on a branch. While the pain of the injury faded, the pain of the memory had not. You wished, however naively, that the memories of his scars didn’t cause him too much pain.

He looked up from his book and caught your eye. The second he noticed your staring he glowered back at you. You flushed deeply and looked away. You had been caught staring a few times now and you had a feeling that he had found out about your feelings towards him. You nervously tucked a strand of hair behind your ear and continued with your essay. 

The next time you saw Remus was in potions class. His friends had dragged him over to the table next to yours and you could only assume it was because Lily was your partner. You heard them bickering quietly as they came over.

“Do we really have to sit by them?” Remus hissed under his breath. James huffed.

“Yes, we do, Lily is over there. Now’s my chance,” he muttered back. Remus made eye contact with you and you pretended not to notice when he rolled his eyes despite the pang in your chest. James gave Lily an exaggerated wave and she just scoffed before turning back to you. 

You had met Lily through Severus since he was in your house. He wasn’t your favorite person, you found him a bit creepy and his crush on Lily seemed to be a tad obsessive, but you were grateful that he had introduced you to the redhead. The two of you became fast friends, you loving her sharp wit and her loving your ambition and drive. 

Lily started talking to you about the upcoming Hogsmeade trip when James called out her name.

“Oi, Lily,” he said with a smirk, “are you really consorting with the enemy?” he asked, gesturing towards you. You felt your cheeks burn and you ducked your head. 

“Oh sod of James,” she replied, “Why must you always be so immature?” You smiled slightly at her words. You turned to look back up at the boys. James’s face was flushed with embarrassment at Lily’s words and Peter and Sirius were laughing at him. You stole a glance at Remus to see him glaring at you. You frowned and looked away. 

You sat in the Gryffindor common room with Lily while you worked on your potions project. It was getting late but the two of you wanted to finish the project early. Lily had offered that you spend the night in her room and you had agreed. You weren’t a fan of your dormmates anyway and would jump at any chance to spend a night away from them. They were loud and brash and had no issue with loudly proclaiming their thoughts on blood supremacy. It made your skin crawl.

“Ugh I have to go to the bathroom, I’ll be right back,” Lily said, setting aside her book. You sent her a quick smile as she got up. When she was gone you continued working on your assignment. The portrait hole swung open and Remus walked in, seemingly coming back from his rounds. His eyes narrowed at the sight of you. 

“How did you get in here?” he asked harshly. You shrunk under his gaze. 

“Lily invited me. We’re doing school work,” you explained, gesturing down at your work. He crossed his arms.

“Where is she then?” he questioned. You shrugged.

“She’s in the bathroom,” you replied. 

“I think you should leave,” he responded. Your eyes widened.

“What?” you exclaimed.

“You should leave. You shouldn’t even be in here in the first place,” he pushed. 

“Now just wait a minute, Lily and I-”

“I really don’t care. Just get out of the common room and go back to the dungeons,” he said, practically sneering. Your mouth hung open in shock.

You had liked Remus because of how soft and kind he appeared to be. Everyone loved him and it was because he always wore a compassionate smile and had understanding eyes. But it appeared that you clearly would never be on the receiving end of his kindness.

“What is your problem?” you asked, feeling anger building in your chest. He rolled his eyes.

“You’re breaking the rules, you need to leave,” he retorted. 

“I’m not talking about just this, what is your problem with me? You always treat me so poorly and I can’t seem to figure out why,” you answered. Remus scoffed. 

“I don’t have a problem with you,” he said, folding his arms across his chest. 

“So you just have a problem with Slytherin’s then?” you spat, venom filling your voice. Remus’s jaw clenched. 

“I don’t particularly like blood supremacists and Voldemort sympathizers so I guess I do have a problem with Slytherins,” he said. You laughed. 

“You can’t honestly think that we’re all-”

“Do you know how many dark wizards have come out of Slytherin?” he asked, narrowing his eyes at you. “Because it’s quite a large number. And the way you seem to always be snooping around and staring makes me think you might be one yourself.” You gaped at him.

“You can’t actually be serious?” you sputtered. Remus shook his head.

“Just leave before I deduct any points,” he said quietly before turning towards the stairs. You stood up from your seat on the couch.

“Now wait just a minute, Lupin,” you practically yelled. He turned around with a clenched jaw. 

“What?” he spit out.

“There is nothing about Slytherin that is inherently evil! There is nothing evil about ambition or determination. Just because you have some twisted idea of what my house represents doesn’t mean that you’re right. I reckon that every house has the same chance of fostering evil. Blind bravery can be evil can’t it? And loyalty to the wrong person? And intelligence can be incredibly dangerous,” you shouted at him. Remus stared at his shoes. “And let’s not forget all the good wizards that have come from Slytherin! Professor Slughorn may be a bit odd but you can’t tell me that he’s not a good man. And for Godric’s sake! Merlin was a fucking Slytherin,” you yelled. Remus looked up at you.

“What about you then?” he asked with his arms crossed, “Where do you fall?” You swept a hand through your hair exasperatedly. 

“I’m not a dark wizard you dimwit! I don’t stare at you because I’m a spy or whatever dumb idea you came up with! I stare at you because I think that you’re bloody handsome,” you yelled. Remus’s eyes widened. 

“You- you what?” he sputtered. You groaned and began to gather your stuff. 

“Nothing, never mind,” you answered, shoving your parchment into your bag. Remus came up beside you and grabbed your arm.

“Wait,” he said, trying to get you to stop. You pulled your arm away. You turned to storm out of the portrait hole when Lily’s voice rang out into the room.

“Where are you going?” she asked, her eyebrows furrowed. You turned to Remus angrily. 

“Ask him,” you responded before storming off towards the dungeons. 

A few days later you were sitting by the black lake with a book in your hands when you felt a presence beside you. You looked up to see Remus with his hands in his pockets. You rolled your eyes. 

“What do you want Lupin?” you asked with venom lacing your voice.

“I wanted to apologize,” he said softly, digging his shoe into the grass. You sighed.

“And what do you want to apologize for, exactly?” you questioned with a raised brow. 

“I’m sorry for being so rude to you and for insinuating that you might work for Voldemort,” He answered sheepishly. You nodded. 

“Thank you,” you responded before turning back to your book, assuming that he’d walk away. Instead, he sat down beside you.

“I just- I saw you staring at me all of the time and I was confused as to why you’d even do that,” he began, “And you’re a Slytherin and I just assumed that you had some motive or something. It didn’t even cross my mind that you thought I was handsome,” he said with a slight smile. You blushed and looked away. 

“I’m sorry I made you uncomfortable,” you murmured, “I didn’t realize I was being so obvious.” You stared anywhere but him. 

“If I had known why you were looking at me, I wouldn’t have minded,” he said softly. You furrowed your eyebrows and looked up.

“Huh?” you said. He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. 

“If I had known that you fancied me I would’ve just talked to you instead of coming up with an idiotic conspiracy theory,” he admitted. You looked at your lap. 

“Oh.”

“And I feel so stupid for thinking that you could be so terrible. I had no grounds for it other than a dumb stereotype. I’m really sorry,” he said. You turned to him.

“It’s alright I suppose. I just don’t understand how you jumped to the conclusion that I was some sort of spy because I was looking at you,” you said with a slight chuckle. Remus ducked his head.

“I don’t know, it never crossed my mind that you might like me. I’m not exactly much of a looker,” he replied. You furrowed your eyebrows.

“What are you talking about? I think you’re quite good-looking,” you admitted with a blush. A small smile played at Remus’s lips.

“Didn’t think that anyone would ever think that of me,” he said softly, his hand absentmindedly rubbing the scar on his cheek. You frowned and reached up to remove his hand from his face. You lifted your finger and traced along the scar, causing Remus to gulp and avert his eyes. 

“Well I think that you’re beautiful, every part of you,” you said as you finished tracing the pink line. His amber eyes were back on yours, a deep vulnerability shining in them. His eyes flickered down to your lips for a moment and you held your breath. Slowly, he began to lean in. 

He kissed you just as softly as you always imagined he would, though it felt better than you ever could have thought. His rough hand cupped your face while you tangled your hands in his silky hair. When the kiss broke you were breathless. You watched as he ran a hand through his hair and sent you a shy smile, his freckled cheeks flushed a beautiful shade of pink. Even now, you couldn’t take your eyes off of him.

Pairing: Young!Remus Lupin x Reader

Warnings: none

Word count: 1.8k

Part one

By your second week eating breakfast with the Marauders you were starting to feel like you really belonged with them. James was extremely funny, in your opinion the funniest of the group. He never failed to make you laugh when you sat near him in the common room and once he made you laugh so hard in the Great Hall that you had almost choked on your toast. Sirius was also funny but in a different way. He playfully flirted with anything that moved, something that would normally make you scoff, but with him it just made you laugh. You weren’t as close with Peter, though you helped him with his transfiguration homework and he occasionally shared his sweets with you. And then, of course, there was Remus. Remus was by far your favorite of the group, though it was for reasons you’d never dare disclose to anyone but Lily. He was sweet, sending you reassuring smiles when you’d muster up the bravery to tell a story to the group. He’d slip you chocolates when you were studying late at night and fostered the same love for muggle literature as you. Every little thing he did only added to your attraction to him. In your eyes, he was absolutely perfect

You looked forward to the evenings in the common room, sitting next to the crackling fire with the marauders and Lily. Laughing at James and Sirius’s jokes and stealing glances at Remus’s face, seemingly glowing the light of the fire. You finally felt as if you had found your place at Hogwarts.

“Hey (Y/n),” Remus said, startling you out of your thoughts. You turned to look at him.

“Yeah?” you replied. He shifted in his spot on the floor, next to the couch where Lily sat with James.

“I just finished Crime and Punishment,” he said. You turned in the large armchair where you sat to fully face him.

“Oh really? How did you like it?” you asked.

“I liked it, though I have to digress- you were right- it is a bit dense,” he answered. You smiled at his from your seat, quickly looking down at your hands.

“Well of course. I told you so,” you responded. You heard him laugh lightly from the floor.

“I was wondering though if I could borrow your book? The one you talked about at breakfast the other week,” he inquired.

“Oh of course!” you said. “I can go fetch it for you right now.” You gestured towards the stairs that led to the girl’s dormitory.

“Oh you don’t have to get it right now,” Remus said. You smiled and shook your head.

“It’s no trouble. I’ll be right back,” you replied, pushing yourself up from the armchair. He thanked you as you made your way towards the staircase, but you just smiled and waved him off.

When you got to your room you rifled through your bag, attempting to locate the book. You searched for a moment to no avail, before realizing that you had left it on your bedside table. After you retrieved it you turned to head back downstairs, only to almost run directly into Lily.

“Oh my goodness Lils! You scared me,” you said, clutching your chest.

“Oh I’m sorry,” she replied.

“What are you doing up here?” you inquired. Mere minutes ago she was downstairs in the middle of a conversation. You wondered what had brought her upstairs so early. She usually didn’t leave the common room for at least another hour.

“It was getting late and I’m tired,” she replied, shrugging. “Plus James and everyone else decided to go up to bed,” she continued. You felt yourself deflate.

“Oh,” you said. “I was supposed to bring this down to Remus. I guess I took too long,” you said, holding up the book. You felt embarrassed that you had gone all the way upstairs to retrieve him the book when he had just decided to go to be without waiting for you.

“Don’t be silly,” Lily said with a smirk. “He’s still waiting for you downstairs.”

“Oh,” you responded.

“Yes he’s waiting for you all alone in the empty common room,” Lily said in a teasing sing-song voice. You felt yourself blush.

“Lily, I’m going down there to lend him a book. What do you think is going to happen?” you said. Lily just laughed, wiggling her eyebrows at you. You shook your head and headed down towards the common room, now feeling slightly nervous. When you got to the bottom of the stairs you saw Remus’s head pop up. He had moved from his spot on the floor to the now vacant couch. He shot you a smile as you walked over to him.

“Here it is,” you said, handing the book to him. “Sorry I kept you down here waiting for me, I didn’t know everyone was planning on turning in so early.”

“Oh it’s no problem,” he replied, taking the book from you. He quickly flipped through the pages, feeling the worn parchment against his fingers.

“Wow, Lily wasn’t kidding. You really have marked this thing up,” he said, chuckling. You ducked your head in embarrassment.

“Yeah… Sorry about that,” you responded sheepishly. Remus looked up at you, his eyes sparkling in the dim light.

“Oh don’t worry about it. I can tell that you really love the book,” he said. You nodded silently, averting your eyes to your shoes. A silence fell between you as Remus turned the book over in his hands. You were debating whether to bid him goodnight and go upstairs or attempt to start a conversation with him. Luckily, he made the decision for you.

“At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, what is this book about?” he asked, rubbing the back of his neck. You giggle softly before sitting down next to him on the sofa.

“Well,” you began. “It’s the story of the muggle French revolution. It follows a man who was kept as a political prisoner, his daughter, a French aristocrat, and a drunken lawyer. It’s full of intrigue and espionage, and while not a romance, it contains what I consider to be the most romantic scene ever written,” you said, catching yourself before you continued to ramble. You look up to meet Remus’s eyes to see that he’s smiling.

“That sounds incredibly interesting,” he said after a moment. You smiled and nodded.

“What qualifies it to be the most romantic scene ever written?” he asked in an almost teasing, yet earnest tone.

“I’m not sure exactly. Something about the words is just perfect. I guess it’s just the kind of thing I wish someone would say to me,” you answered shyly. You saw him nod in your peripheral vision.

“Are you a fan of romances then?” he inquired.

“Yes, I am. They might be my favorite type of book to read,” you answered abashedly. You had always loved the allure of romance novels; Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, and Jane Eyre had been your go-to reads throughout your adolescence. You longed for a romance of your own, and since that seemed unattainable, you lived vicariously through your books.

“I don’t think that’s anything to be ashamed of,” Remus said, “Though I can’t say they’re my favorite types of books.” You laughed.

“That doesn’t exactly surprise me, Remus. You are a boy after all,” you said jokingly, nudging his shoulder with your own.

“Hey! That’s an unfair stereotype. I’m sure plenty of boys enjoy romance novels. I am just not one of them,” he said with a smile, nudging you back.

“Why don’t you like them?” you asked. He shrugged, his joking demeanor morphing into a more uncomfortable one.

“I don’t know exactly… I just don’t picture myself wanting a real-life romance, so why would I want to read about a fictional one?” he elaborated. You felt your stomach drop.

“Oh,” you said, attempting to keep your voice even, “so you just don’t want to fall in love?”

“Yeah, I suppose that’s it. I don’t think the whole falling in love and marriage thing is for me,” he responded. You hoped that you appeared to have an unbothered demeanor because it felt as if your heart was breaking.

“That sounds a little sad, don’t you think?” you asked. Remus shook his head, still appearing a tad uncomfortable.

“Not to me. Besides, loneliness isn’t the worst type of pain that one can feel,” he replied. You frowned.

“I’m not sure about that. For me, the pain of loneliness seems unparalleled. I want nothing more than to fall in love,” You took a deep breathe, playing with the hem of your sweater. From the corner of your eye, you saw Remus shrug.

“I guess that’s where you and I differ,” he said after a beat. You nodded quietly. After a moment of uncomfortable silence, you stood up from your seat on the couch and dusted off your skirt.

“Well, I best be off to bed,” you said. Remus looked up at you quickly. He gave you a small smile before bidding you goodnight. You quickly turned around and rushed up the stairs.

By the time you got to your dorm, your body felt heavy with disappointment. You closed the door hurriedly behind you before flopping onto your bed. You let out a sad sigh, looking up at the ceiling, After a minute you felt the bed dip beside you and you look up to see Lily grinning down at you.

“So how’d it go?” the redhead asked, wiggling her eyebrows.

“Fine,” was your response. Lily groaned before laying down next to you in the bed.

“Come on (Y/n). Please just tell me what happened,” she begged.

“Nothing happened,” you said simply, “and it’s been made clear to me that nothing ever will happen.” Lily looked at you, clearly confused.

“What do you mean?” she asked.

“I have been informed that Remus Lupin is not one for romance. He doesn’t want it now, and he doesn’t want it ever,” you replied, wiping away the tears that were threatening to fall.

“Oh,” Lily said softly. “That was not how I expected that to go.” She turned her head to look up at the ceiling.

“It’s fine,” you said. “I’ve gone seven years without needing a boyfriend. I certainly don’t need one now,” you said defiantly, getting up to begin getting ready for bed. You saw Lily frown.

“But that doesn’t mean you can’t want one. You’re allowed to be sad you know?” she says, propping herself up on her elbows.

“Lily, if I let myself be sad over every boyfriend that I never had then I would have been sad for the last seven years,” you replied. Lily began playing with the threads of the quilt that was splayed across your bed.

“I guess.” She got up quickly and went to join you by your dresser. “Well even if Remus Lupin is too daft to realize it, you’re quite a catch,” she said reassuringly. You giggled quietly.

“Thank you, Lils,” you responded.

“Don’t worry someday you will meet your Mr. Heathcliff,” she reassured you, patting you on the shoulder, before skipping off to her own bed. You run your brush through your hair, desperately hoping that she was right.

————————————————————————

“When are you gonna tell him?” Lily asks on the way to the Great Hall. 

“I don’t know ok? I would like to keep dating him for a while.” You mutter in response. Lily was your best friend and closest confidant. But right now you were annoyed with her. For the past couple of months, she had been badgering you to tell Remus Lupin, your wonderful boyfriend, that you were a werewolf. Ever since she started dating James she had gotten even more persistent.

“He’s not going to break up with you.” She says looking over to you all signs of teasing gone.

“Lily he is literally perfect, he won’t want to date a freak. As soon as he knows he’ll run for the hills.” You reply quietly, as the two of you take a seat at the Gryffindor Table.

“He won’t-”

“Who won’t what?” Sirius asks interrupting Lily, as he takes a seat across from the two of you. He is trailed of course by the other Marauders, James sitting down next to Lily, while Remus sat next to you and Peter sat by Sirius.

“Oh, I was just telling Y/n Professor Slughorn wouldn’t get upset with her for asking him about the homework assignment.” Lily lied, a sly smile overtaking her face.

“I can help you with it if you would like,” Remus offered kindly, as he gave your hand a small squeeze.

“That’s ok, I should really head to class early if I’m going to ask him about it,” you answer, giving his hand a quick squeeze back before standing up and exiting the hall.

————————————————————————

Remus’s POV

“James, drop it,” I growl, as the two of us along with Sirius and Peter walk to the Great Hall for breakfast. Lately, James had been trying to badger me into telling Y/n about my ‘furry little problem’. Sirius and Peter had also started urging me to come clean with her about my condition, even Lily had been hounding me.

“Moony, you should tell her. Once you talk to her you’ll be more relaxed. It’s best to just rip off the band-aid quickly.” James urges.

“Sorry if I’m not all that eager to get dumped. I happen to really love Y/n and I would like to continue our relationship for as long as possible.” I hiss, James is about to reply but before he can we spot Y/n and Lily in the middle of what looks like a very tense conversation.

“He won’t-” Lily starts but Sirius cuts her off.

“Who won’t what?” Sirius asked as he slid onto the bench across from the girls. James sits down beside Lily, wrapping his arm around her shoulders and I slide in next to Y/n.

“Oh, I was just telling Y/n Professor Slughorn wouldn’t get upset with her for asking him about the homework assignment,” Lily replied with a sly smirk, she’s lying. But why?

“I can help you with it if you would like,” I offered to Y/n hoping she would tell me what was actually going on. I took her hand in mine and gave it a slight squeeze which made her smile but I could tell it was forced. Something was making her nervous, I conclude once she started biting her lip, her telltale sign of anxiety. 

“That’s ok, I should really head to class early if I’m going to ask him about it,” she replies before standing to leave. 

“Ok, spill it, Evans,” Sirius demands as soon as Y/n is out of sight.

“Spill what?” Lily tries to look innocent and clueless.

“What’s wrong with Y/n?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

“She’s just-” Lily paused trying to figure out how to best to answer. “She’s just feeling a little insecure right now,” Lily replies sharing a look with the others.

“Ok, what do you lot know that I don’t?” I ask, unable to stop the annoyance from slipping into my voice.

“Nothing, it’s nothing…” Lily trails off looking away from me.

“It’s obviously something-” I start and that’s when it hits me. She couldn’t know, could she? 

“You told her? You bloody told her didn’t you?” I growl, feeling my hands curl into fists at my sides.

“NO!” They all shout at the same time. Most of the hall looked towards us in confusion but quickly turned away when they realized there wouldn’t be much more of a show.

“Moony, we wouldn’t do that.” James croaked out, I look around at all of them and I see the hurt evident in their eyes.

“Sorry, I just, I love her,” I whisper, avoiding looking at their eyes.

“Tell her, you’ll feel better, I know you will,” Lily pleads, grabbing my hands in hers. 

“She’ll hate me,” I murmur.

“No, she won’t,” James counters, he and Sirius being uncharacteristically serious. I shake my head and abruptly stand, exiting the hallway. 

————————————————————————

Your POV

Remus had been quiet throughout the rest of the day and was stuck by your side, avoiding the other marauders. Weird, Remus and the other boys were practically inseparable. Hell, you and Lily practically had to kidnap James and Remus, respectively, to get any alone time with them. 

“You ok?” You asked him quietly at dinner. He nods and gives you a small, forced smile. You want to press further but decide against it when the others join the two of you at the table.

After dinner, Lily asked you to help her with a spell for charms and you happily agreed. While Lily was a master at potions, charms were your specialty. Lily led you to one of the abandon classrooms that the two of you frequently used for practicing spells. When the two of you arrived at the classroom you spotted the Marauders. 

“I thought it was just us practicing?” You inquired turning to give Lily a confused look.

“Actually, none of us are practicing. We-” Lily said motioning to herself and the Marauders, minus Remus, “are sick of you two being stubborn. You both have a secret from each other and have been too scared to tell the other. So until you do you’re stuck here.” Lily says as she and the Marauders open the classroom door and exit the room.

“And what’s going to keep us here?” You ask crossing the room. Lily just gives you a mischievous look, she’s been hanging around James and Sirius too much. You go to exit the classroom but are thrown backward and thankfully Remus managed to catch you.

“Lock-in spell. I’d say I’m sorry but I’m not. Talk to each other,” Lily demands as she closes the door.

“Well, what’s the plan?” You ask, biting your lip anxiously.

“What do you mean?”

“Are we gonna just do what they want and tell each other whatever it is we are hiding? Or are we going to try and outsmart Lily?” 

“They’ll never stop, so we might as well just do what they want.” Remus concedes, running his hands through his sandy brown hair.

“You first?” You tease, with a small smirk, trying to lighten the mood, unsuccessfully.

“Alright, just please don’t be afraid of me when I tell you,” he pleads, looking over to you, his eyes glossy. “I would never hurt you.”

“I know. I won’t be afraid of you. You can tell me anything. Besides, it can’t be as bad as mine,” you assure him, he gives you a doubtful look and takes a deep breath.

“I’m a werewolf,” Remus confessed, his voice so quiet you could hardly hear it.

“What?” You asked in disbelief. He was a werewolf too? Sweet, kind, gentle Remus was a werewolf?

“I’m a werewolf. But I swear I won’t hurt you! Please don’t be afraid of me,” he begs, taking your hands in his and squeezing them tight.

“You’re a werewolf,” you repeat, letting it sink in. No wonder Lily wanted you to tell him, he was like you.

“Please don’t hate me,” he implored, his eyes filled with tears and his face had gone pale.

“Remus, I could never hate you. Besides, I-I’m a werewolf too,” you revealed making him freeze in shock.

“Are you serious?” He asked after several minutes of silence.

“No, I’m Y/n,” you tease.

“Y/n, are you actually a werewolf?” He asks impatiently.

“Yes, I was born as one. My parents are both werewolves.” 

“Does Dumbledore know?” 

“Of course he knows.”

“Where do you go for the full moons?” He asked, confusion evident on his face.

“I just run around. My wolf isn’t dangerous, while I have to change on the full moon, I can also change whenever I want the rest of the month. Dumbledore has met her and knows all about my...condition. Being born a werewolf, my wolf was always a part of me. She has never been angry or scared because she wasn’t created out of an act of violence like most turned wolves are. Most created wolves struggle with accepting their wolves and usually never do. Wolves crave their humans’ acceptance and when they have to go without it it makes them violent and angry.” You explained.

“It wants my acceptance?” He asks in shock.

“He needs it. Do you even know his name?” 

“They have names?”

“Yes, my wolf’s name is Storm. She’s one of my best friends.” You reply.

“Can you-can you teach me? How to talk to him, I mean.” He inquired, shyly.

“Of course,” you respond. A huge grin overtakes his face and he pulls you into a tight hug. You wrap your arms around his neck tightly and just stand there, letting him hold you.

“Are you done yet?! Can we come in?!” You hear Sirius shout from outside the door.

“GO AWAY PADS!” Remus yells, shaking his head. You hear a huff and some muffled arguing before you hear their retreating footsteps.

“I love you,” Remus confesses, cupping your face in his hands.

“I love you too,” you reply with a smile forming on your face. He leans down, catching your lips with his, in a sweet, gentle kiss. Merlin, you were grateful you had such meddling friends.

“Wanna go manage some mischief together?” Sirius asks as he slides onto the bench next to you for breakfast. You give him an odd look and wait for him to continue.

“Cause I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.” He finishes with a wink. James and Peter both laugh along with Sirius, while you and Lily roll your eyes. Remus, however, merely grimaces and you see his hands curl into fists. You were used to Sirius’s stupid pick up lines. He had been doing it for the last month or so after he had found out about your crush on Remus. Sirius was convinced that if he flirted with you Remus would get jealous and reveal his feelings for you. Unfortunately, it has been a bust so far. 

“Still no, though I must admit your lines are getting better,” you tease. Sirius grabs his chest in fake shock, making both Lily and you laugh at him.

“Any ideas of what we should do today?” Remus asks in a strained voice. It was a rare Saturday where there was nothing official planned. No Quidditch, no Hogsmede, and thankfully none of you had any homework this weekend.

“Well, I was actually thinking we could go down by the lake and practice our dueling.” You answer as you reach for some fruit.

“That’s a great idea! Professor Walker said we would be starting dueling in class next week.” Lily agrees with a smile.

“I got dibs on you Evans,” James says with his signature smirk. Lily rolled her eyes but gave him a quick kiss anyway.

“I call dibs on dueling Y/L/N! Unless of course, Moony wants dibs?” Sirius asks, wiggling his eyebrows at Remus suggestively.

“Ouch!” Sirius exclaims, jerking his leg under the table.

“You ok Sirius?” You ask.

“Yeah, Sirius, you good?” Remus inquires with an unusually sharp edge to his voice.

“Yeah, I just bumped my shin on the table,” he grunts shooting Remus a glare. The rest of you resume eating not noticing the glaring contest Sirius and Remus are having with each other for the remainder of breakfast.

———————————————————————-

TIME SKIP TO BY THE LAKE

“Alright, who wants to go first?” Lily asks looking around. You and Sirius volunteer to go first and you swear you see Remus throw Sirius another glare. But you shake it off, Remus was probably just annoyed at Sirius for some reason, Sirius did have a habit of pissing people off. 

It has nothing to do with you, you tell yourself.

Sirius and you got into position and awaited Lily’s command to start. 

“1, 2, 3, GO!” Lily shouts. Both you and Sirius start firing off spells and curses at each other. You catch Remus’s eye at one point and he looks ready to kill Sirius, you hope Sirius’s flirting plan is working. But you try and erase that thought from your mind. There’s no way Remus liked you, he just couldn’t. 

“Did you just use the stupefy charm or are you a natural stunner?” Sirius flirts after shielding himself from your stupefy. You roll your eyes but then you hear a growl and pause.

“ENOUGH!” Remus shouts and charges over to you.

“I’m in love with you!” He admits, throwing his hands in the air. He turns on Sirius, with a look of absolute rage covering his face. “Happy now?! You’ve destroyed my friendship with Y/n!”

“Moony I didn’t mean to-“ Sirius starts, looking immediately regretful of his actions.

“Remus!” You shout making everyone stop and turn to you. Everyone except Remus who refuses to look at you and instead keeps his eyes trained on his shoes.

“Our friendship is not ruined. I love you too Remus. I have for years.” You say firmly.

“I know, I know-wait-WHAT?!” He exclaims finally looking at you.

“I love you too, you big goof,” you tease walking over to him and cupping his face with your hands, forcing him to keep his gaze on you.

“You don’t mean that,” he mutters, shrugging your hands off and turning to walk away. No fucking way is he getting out of this. You were going to talk about this one way or another.

“Remus John Lupin!” You shout causing a few other students to look over before they look away again. Remus stops dead in his tracks and slowly turns to face you, eyeing you bewildered.

“Ooooh, Moony, you just got full named!” Sirius cackles.

“Watch Sirius Orion Black!” You shout back at him, making Remus smirk. Sirius shut up after that and he and the others walked off to give you and Remus some privacy.

“Remus, I love you. And yes I do mean it. I have been in love with you since our first year.” You say as you grab his hand in yours.

“Why don’t we go for a little walk? Get some privacy,” you suggest and he nods in reply. The two of you walk towards the Whomping Willow, where no one else was around. You look around quickly and once you are sure no one can see you, you transform into your Rabbit animagus and dart to the knob on the tree to stop the Willow from moving. Remus quickly follows you into the base of the tree and you release the knob once Remus is safely inside. You transform back into your human form and lead him to the Shrieking Shack.

“Remus, I mean it, I do love you.” You say once the two of you reach the main room

“Y/n, you can’t love me. You deserve so much better than me. I’m a monster…” he trails off, looking down ashamed.

“Remus, you are not a monster,” you reply softly. 

“Look at this room,” he says motioning to the rundown room.

“You are an incredible man. You are so much more than a werewolf. How can you not see that? You are a kindhearted man, incredibly brilliant, stunningly handsome, and so much more.”

“Y/n, you don’t understand. I’m a werewolf, our society is none too kind towards people like me. If you were with me you would face many of the same prejudices. They-they would say things, about you, about us-” you cut him off already knowing where he was going with this.

“Like werewolf whore?” You ask with an edge to your voice. 

After finding out about Remus’s condition you started researching anything and everything about werewolves. While werewolf relations had gotten better over the last couple of centuries, it still was archaic. Many people who were werewolves or associated with werewolves were discriminated against. Especially witches you were romantically involved with werewolves, many tabloids and bigots called them ‘werewolf whores’, amongst other things.

“Yes.” He growled, his hands forming into tight fists and his knuckles turning white.

“Remus, I don’t care! I know what they’ll say, I know what they’ll call me. And I don’t care! As long as I have you the rest doesn’t matter.” You shout and he jerks his head up to look at you, his eyes looking much more golden than normal.

“I care! I don’t want you to go through that. I want to protect you.” He growled out.

“It’s not just your decision Remus! It’s my life too!”

“I’m not about to let you throw your life away for me!” He roared, looking angrier than you had ever seen him, though you could tell it wasn’t directed at you. He was angry with himself.

“I wouldn’t be. Remus, I’ve been in love with you since first year. I can’t imagine my life without you. A life without you isn’t worth living. Who cares what others think?! What matters is what we think! What we feel!” You shout back, refusing to back down on this.

“I won’t ruin your life.” He murmurs, you can see in his eyes he’s close to conceding. 

“You’re right, you won’t. Because you’re going to stop pushing me away. Give us a chance,” you plead. Remus lets out a sigh and starts pacing and you feel the tears well up in your eyes. He’s going to reject me. He’s going to push me away.

“Are you sure this is what you want?” Remus finally asks, turning back to you with his arms crossed over his chest.

“Yes,” you whisper, he’s on you in seconds. His large, rough hands on your face as his lips crash down upon yours.

“WOOHOO!” You hear a familiar voice whoop. Remus and you pull apart, slightly alarmed at the loud noise. Looking into the hallway you find Sirius and James hugging each other and jumping up and down, while Lily and Peter try to calm them down.

“Sorry,” Lily apologized when you looked at her. She smacked both James and Sirius on the arm to get them to stop and sent them both bone-chilling glares. Those two are in for it, you giggle to yourself.

“So...you two, are you finally...together?” James asks after he breaks away from Sirius. You send Remus a questioning look.

“Yes, we are.” He confirms, tossing his arm around your shoulders and pulling you into him.

“Fucking finally!” Sirius exclaims launching himself at you and Remus for a bear hug.

“You’re going to take credit for this aren’t you?” Remus guesses after Sirius finally lets go of the two of you.

“I think I just might Moony!” He answers, a sly smile forming on his face.

“We’ll never hear the end of it will we?” You ask even though you already knew the answer.

“Never,” Sirius confirms, throwing his arms around both yours and Remus’s shoulders as the six of you walk out of the shack.

It was Friday night after another Gryffindor victory at quidditch and the marauders as always were holding a party at the tower. Remus was sitting on the couch watching you and Sirius dancing like he didn’t even exist. You looked so happy that he wondered if you were smiling like this when he was with you as well.

Sirius hugged you and made a turn. “Siri, you dumbass let me down.” You told him while laughing hard.

When you were on your feet again you left to get another bottle of fire whiskey for Sirius since you weren’t drinking. When you were returning to your friends you saw your boyfriend alone. You shoved the fire whiskey to Sirius’ chest and went to the couch in which Remus was.

“Honey is everything okay?” You asked him and put your hand on his thigh. He took it and put it on your lap.

“Sure, why wouldn’t?” and left to his dormitory. You didn’t know what happened and if it was something that you did. You tried to think but nothing came to your mind. So, you followed him.

You opened the door of the boys’ dorms and you saw your boyfriend lying at his bed, his head in his pillow. You went slowly to him and sat on the bed. Your hand at his hair.

“Remy, talk to me, please.” He suddenly rises into a seated position. His eyes were red like he was crying or more accurately like he was ready to cry.

“Talk to you about what honey?” he said in a mocking voice “why don’t you go talk with Sirius?” he spat Sirius’ name like he wasn’t his best friend.

“Remus, calm down and tell me what’s your freaking problem.” You started getting irritated by his acts and you couldn’t understand what’s going on with Sirius.

“My problem is, that you’re looking more like a couple than with me. And I’m supposed to be your boyfriend!” He increased his voice in the last sentence. Remus had never yelled at you and this time took you by surprise. You got off the bed.

“And so, what? You know he’s my friend and he’s your friend as well. You shouldn’t be jealous you should be happy that I’m getting along with your group of friends! You know that I love you, or at least you should.” You yelled back at him and now he was on his foot as well.

“Do you really love me though? Because all I could see was you laughing and hugging Sirius like I wasn’t even there. You didn’t care about my presence!” he took some steps towards you and he made some movements with his hands and you knew that he would never ever hurt you but you couldn’t but take a step back. But he saw.

His eyes softened, he took a small step towards you and hugged you.

“Did- did you thought that I would hit you? Baby, I wouldn’t never. For merlin’s sake, I’m so sorry.” He was crying in your hair. “It’s okay, I know, I’m sorry too.” You told him softly. If he continued crying you would too.

He looked at you. “No. I’m sorry. My jealousy took me over and I overreacted. I shouldn’t I’m sorry baby I’m so sorry.”

You both sat back at his bed your hands together. You loved him so much. His eyes were clear now, no sample to show that he was crying seconds ago. And now was the perfect time to tell him.

“Moony, I need to tell you something. I should have told you sooner but I couldn’t. I didn’t know how you would react. Both Lily and Sirius told me that everything would be okay just to tell you. But, still, I couldn’t. And now I think I can. I mean you have the right to know and I’m sorry that I hid it.” You were rambling you knew. When you were nervous and anxious you tended to do it.

He kissed you to make you stop talking. He took your hand and started drawing little doodles with his fingers. “Baby, you’re rambling. Take a deep breath and tell me.”

And you did exactly that. “I’m pregnant.” The shook was clear in his face but he didn’t react how you were expecting him at all. His eyes were big and glowing. He took you in his arms and turn you in the air while he was laughing hard.

“Oh, Merlin! This is amazing I’m going to be a daddy.”

You thought that he was going to be mad, that he wouldn’t want it or you. But nothing happened he was just happy. He was going to make a family with the love of his life. He was going to have a baby and he couldn’t be happier. And you couldn’t either.

Imagine Remus offhandedly mentioning the Moon Landing in front of Sirius and James in the second year. Imagine Sirius and James being totally confused, and Remus asking Peter and Lily to back him up that humans had actually went to the moon. Imagine Sirius and James being hellbent on becoming astronauts the rest of the year.
