Puppy Eyes
animagus!Mattheo Riddle x gn!reader; fluff
summary: your boyfriend suckered you into becoming an animagus with him, and knowing him it was probably to cause mischief. but surrounded by the night breeze and the stars in his eyes, you know youโd follow him on any adventure.
a/n: 2 published in 2 days? maybe i am magic. iโm kinda obsessed with the idea of animagi and i cannot for the life of me find one where mattheo is one too. so i wrote one. iโm definitely down to write a part 2 or one for theo, just let me know if thatโs something youโd be interested in โก
You were ready to get this damn leaf out of your mouth. A mandrake leaf specifically, which you were planning to use in your pursuit of becoming an animagus. It had been sitting in your mouth for almost an entire month and it wasnโt getting any better. You looked up at your boyfriend, who was in the same predicament, with a scowl.
It had been his idea to start the process of becoming animagi and with those big brown eyes, who were you to say no? So here you were at breakfast trying not to swallow it and heaven forbid having to start over.
โI canโt believe you guys are really going through with it,โ Pansy looks between the two of you.
โRiddle just wants to commit crimes and get away with it,โ Draco smirks, โimpressive he roped (y/n) into it with him though.โ
Mattheo rolls his eyes before focusing his attention back on you. The smile he gives you makes your irritability fade away.
โก โก โก
Before you knew it the month was up and all there was left to do was wait for a lightening storm. Which just so happened to be tonight. Mattheo had kept the phials of potion in the shrieking shack after you had finished putting them together. Thatโs where you were heading now.
He was sitting cross legged on the floor when you made it inside. His eyes lit up once he saw you, a small smile finding its way onto his lips. โI was a little worried you were going to back out.โ
โI thought about it,โ you tease and you settle down next to him. โYou sure about this?โ
โCompletely.โ He gives a squeeze to your hand before placing the crystal phial in your grasp, the liquid inside now a blood red.
You get out your wand and say the incantation one last time and pause to watch Mattheo take the potion like he was taking a shot of fire whiskey.
With a deep inhale, you follow Mattheoโs lead and tip the potion into your mouth.
The sensation isโฆ odd. Like your bones were all shifting at once. Thereโs a searing pain everywhere and that double heartbeat you had experienced while performing the incantation over the past week. Moments pass before you open your eyes.
Your perspective of the room has changed drastically, everything towering above you. Right in front of you stands a striking dark wolf, at least double your height. And those chocolate brown eyes are unmistakable.
You arenโt surprised that Mattheo turned out to be a canine. You also arenโt surprised how ethereal he looks. If anything, you were surprised he wasnโt a golden retriever, with his eager to please personality (at least for you) and puppy dog eyes.
You notice his tail wagging wildly behind him which leads you to look behind you and see a fluffy, mocha-colored tail doing similar. While you were mesmerized by your new appendage, Mattheo padded his way over to you and dropped into a laying position to not intimidate you.
Pulling your attention to your boyfriend you see he still has the scar on the bridge of his nose, only now it rests in the middle of his snout. Instinctively, you push your head into his fluffy neck, letting out a sigh when he rests his chin on you. He still smells the same as he normally does, cigarettes and his cologne filling your lungs.
You find yourself migrating between his paws, curling into the soft fur of his chest.
You lay together for a while, the storm still raging on outside the shack. As it sounds like itโs letting up, Mattheo rises on all fours and nods for you to follow him.
The grass is damp beneath your paws and the night sky is now clear above you. It takes a few moments to get used to moving on four legs instead of two, but Mattheo looks to be a natural. Your heart warms watching him run through the grass, apparently having the time of his life.
Finally feeling confident on your legs, you take off in his direction. Seeing you sprinting towards him has his tail moving a million kilos an hour. With a mischievous glimmer in his eyes, he turns and leads you toward the forest. In any other circumstance youโd be a little nervous running off into the forbidden forest, but something about your new form takes the anxiety off your chest.
The forest at night was something otherworldly. Moonlight filtered through the trees, illuminating Mattheoโs fur. You pushed your legs faster to catch up to his longer stride. Finally getting side by side, you take a look at him and the look on his face simultaneously fills your heart with glee and sorrow.
He looks free. More free than you had seen him in your half a decade of knowing him. You desperately want to see him like this all the time.
You donโt immediately realize youโve stopped running, lost in the happiness radiating off him. Blinking a couple times, you look around at your surroundings. Youโre standing at the edge of a small lake, the moonlight sitting peacefully on the surface. To your left is, to your surprise, a unicorn resting in what appears to be its den of sorts.
Wonder in your eyes, you look up to find Mattheo already looking down at you. As you gaze into those brown eyes you adore, you can see the entire universe looking back at you.
โก โก โก
The next morning finds you in Mattheoโs bed, his limbs tangled in yours. Heโs still sleeping and you canโt help but think how gentle he looks like this. You press a kiss to his nose. As his grip tightens around you, you hear him mumble in his sleep laced voice, โI love you, my little fox.โ

youโre trying to tell me that Regulus discovers his boyfriend and brother are the youngest ever animagi.
and he? what?
accepts it?
no. heโs a petty motherfucker.
the day afterwards he would begin the process, and not speak to any of them. which is very much a him thing to do, communicating only through notes for a month out of anger.
except when they all decide this is enough, and corner him
he just smiles and transforms into a black cat before their eyes.

Me and my friend had a brainstorm on what animals could MCs friends be if they also became animagi
And we came to a conclusion that it would be fitting and kinda ironic if Chiara was a little lamb
Wolf in sheepโs clothing
Or more like, a sheep forced into wolf hide or whatever

Soft touch
(James Potter / Regulus Black | 487 words)
For @jegulus-microfic prompt: forest
โShow me,โ Regulus demanded when James told him about being an animagi. From the boyโs expression, James couldn't make out what he was thinking. They walked slowly towards the forbidden forest and James was more nervous with each step they took. No one ever saw him in his stag form except the Marauders. He told himself it didn't matter if Regulus won't like Prongs. This can be the only time he sees him. It's not like James is lying in the dorms as a stag. He is not small and cuddly like Padfoot or Wormtail.
When they stopped at the clearing close to the edge of the forest James turns around. Regulus is watching him expectantly and James feels the knot tighten in his chest. Okay, well, so he does care he realised. He cares a lot. Because Prongs is part of James and if Regulusโฆ
"Okay. Let's do this." James says because he wants to get it over as soon as possible.
The second he transforms the other boy takes a quick step back. Prongs lowers his head in disappointment. He should have expected this. He sits down folding his long legs below him. Sometimes James wishes his animagus was also something soft as a dog, so he could snuggle with his friends and play in the dorm. But it always was the case with him. Too much as an animagus, too much as human.
He doesnโt mind taking care of the others during full moons, itโs his role in their little pack. And he took the role gladly. He just wished that once he was the one someone would be soft with.
Prongs lifts his head at the sound of steps. Regulus is slowly approaching him with wide eyes. He crouches in front of him, and his expression softens. โYou are beautiful.โ he breathes out. And James wants to run around with happiness.
Regulus reaches for him, but he stops a few inches from Prongsโ face. โCan I?โ he asks, and James presses his face to the palm of Regulusโ hand.
Regulus chuckles and keeps swiping his hand over his head, scratching behind his ears and antlers. It feels good, so good. James forgets that he should stay still and flops himself on a side so Regulus can also pet his neck, back or belly.
โOkay, careful.โ Regulus says because Prongsโ antlers missed him only by a few inches. โHold on.โ Regulus sits beside him and keeps petting him. Prongs is making happy noises.
Regulus frowns for a moment watching the stag in front of him. โYou don't get a lot of pets, do you?โ
Prongs rests his head on Regulusโ legs sadly nudging him with his snout so the boy would resume petting. He wants to get as much as possible of these soft touches.
โOkay, okay.โ Regulus laughs. โIt's their loss, you know? You have really soft fur and frankly, you are absolutely cute.โ

Big Bad Wolf
Dad! Remus x Reader
Itโs the full moon, and Harry came running to you for advice and help. Lupin went missing, and Harry is scared that someoneโs going to get hurt. Or worse. Expelled His dad will end up shot. So, as the romantic partner to the boys father you go and help him. You both just hope to find him before someone else does
Warnings 18+, Horror, Gore, violence, fear, Whump, character death ((deserved)) happy ending
Writing Commissionโs Are Open
โDad-?! Dad!โ You were startled awake, by the sounds of Harry. You were spending a few days, at Hogwarts, with Lupin. As his romantic partner it was permitted, but it sure did startle students to see someone who wasnโt their teacher in the classroom. Such as you, having fallen asleep at his desk. You were waiting for Lupin, but it seems sleep caught you first. Until now.
โHave you seen dad-?โ Harry asked, as he hurried towards you. A bottle in hand, with a worried look. You did not like where this was going. You really hope that was not a full bottle of wolfsbane. As if that was needed right now. You sat up quickly and straightened up.
"He said he needed to run and talk to someone really quick, and asked for me to stay here until he came back." Now that you said it out loud, it made you very suspicious. You had a bad feeling about this. A very very very bad feeling. It seemed the feeling was mutual, and no words were needed. The two of you were soon running out of the classroom, and straight outside. Wands out.
"Great, just great-" You huffed, as the two of you were now roaming around the grounds. A worry of what happened with Remus, and if the Dementors would come your way. You made sure to hold Harry's hand, and he did not refuse it. He had a uncomfortable run in with the Dementors after all, as if he wanted another.
"Should we ask Hagrid for help?" Harry asked, as you pondered. That could be very helpful. He was a monster keeper of sorts, and more people looking could reduce casualties. Fang could help as well, but Hagrid was not the best with secrets. Still.....You had a werewolf boyfriend on the loose, and one not on potions.
"I will go talk to Hagrid; you go to the Shrieking Shack. Maybe he went there by habit?" Seems like Hermione was really rubbing off on him, because that made perfect sense. You recall a few times you could hear him, when locked in his designated room, about a shack. Along with his night terrors, and school days.
The plan was set, and Harry explained to you how to get there. Most likely knowing, in case of emergencies. The two of you would split, and Harry hurried to Hagrid's Hut. You stayed, until he made it. Just to be sure. Once he had entered the home, you would hurry to the tree, it was terrifying, but you had to. For Remus.
You had to army crawl, and enter with a few scrapes, but you managed. You hit the knot in the tree, and was able to slip through the roots. Through the dirty cavern, and across the rocks. It was a journey, but you managed. You would push at the wooden boards, and soon had your head in the shack. The stench of blood heavy in your nose. He was here.
"Moony?" You whispered, as the world went still. Even the wind seemed afraid to speak. You were terrified, but someone had to be there for him. You swallowed your biile, and forced yourself into the house. Onto your knees, wand in hand, before properly standing.
Deep breaths, that made you gag, in a vain attempt to try and calm yourself. You knew this when he told you what he was. He didnโt want you to sign up blind. He didnโt want to feel like he trapped you. The moment he told you, you tried to study all you could. Meaning you carried your own vile of wolfsbane. Small, but hopefully enough to soothe.
As you tried to follow the stench, you couldnโt help but hear something. It was someone. Someone gagging, and coughing. Seeming to beโฆ.No. No no. You had hope the blood you smelled was that of a wild animal, but no. It was of someone.
You wanted to barge in, and see if you could save them, but that could cause issues. Like him turning on you. Instead, you kept your steps quiet. Just coming closer, as the figure kept gasping and wheezing. Begging. What made your blood run cold was what the person said.
โRemus, pleaseโฆ.You would have done the same in my place. You would ha-โ Before there was silence. Silence, as bones were snapping. Crunching, and being devoured. They were dead, and you knew that you couldnโt do anything to have prevented it. You tried to reason, at least.
Finally, you were at the door. Given quite the sight to behold. This sickly looking beast, chowing away on a dead body. Beyond recognition, except for an arm. Said arm having been torn off, and slammed into the wall near the door frame. You narrowed your eyes, as you saw it was missing a finger. Clearly before the attack, as the numb was healed over.
Before you could wonder who the figure was, you suddenly felt something bite at your leg. Not in a means to attack. It was so gentle, you almost didnโt notice. A attempt to grab your attention. It succeeded, as you looked down to a black dog. Shaggy, skinny, and struggling to pull you away from the door. A means to get you away.
Seems it acted too late, as the nawing of flesh was silenced. Just the eerie sounds of blood falling on wood, as the werewolf looked over. Blacken eyes focused on you, as it growled. Clawed, and mangled, fingers were soon on the floor. Cautiously approaching you, only for the dog to block its path. Guarding you.
You didnโt know what to do. Do you run? Do you stay? Do you move slowly? You can only read so many books, before you face a real deal. Nothing prepares you for a real life experience. Was he staring at you because he recognized you? Was he no longer hungry? Was he aware of your scent, and wouldnโt harm you?
So many thoughts, only to be silenced by an ear rattling howl. That said that, and you were trying to run for your life. The shaggy dog quick to defend you, and jump at Remus. Buying you time, as you tried to think of where to go. Leave the building? Back into the hole? You didnโt know. Before you could make a choice, the rotten wood broke under you.
Crashing through you went, only for your leg to snap in the process. You screamed in pain, and that alerted Remus to you. You tried to fight through the pain, as you held your wand up. Trying to defend yourself, as Remus tore through more of the wood. Leaving splinters to rain down on you, as you laid in the broken old living room.
โREMUS-! PLEASE-!โ You sobbed, as you didnโt want to hurt him. Blood pooled around you, as the torn muscle was shreds around your shattered bone. So much pain, panic, and despair. Was this the end? Dispite it all, all you could think of was how this would affect Remus. The guilt he would hold, when the moon rises again. Only to see you dead in his teeth.
Seemed that would only be a nightmare, as he was slow to approach you. Sniffing you, before looking down at your leg. Giving it a lick, and whine. As if trying to help you. If you werenโt so delirious from pain, you would find it sweet.
โFuck, you look like shit.โ A voice spoke to you, as Remus seemed to curl around you. Using himself a pillow, for you to rest on. Just feeling his ribs, and hearing his strong breathing and heart. It was soothing, and let you catch your breath. Long enough to register where the voice came from.
A man was soon standing infront of you, in a Azkaban uniform. With long, black, shaggy hair. With a beard to match, against his gaunt face. So skinny, yet so alive. Shaggy black hair, just like shaggy black fur. Thatโs when it hit you.
โPadfootโฆ.โ You choked out, when you werenโt crying from pain. The name made him smile, and you could see life in his hollow eyes. It warmed his heart so much, knowing Remus told you about him. That he was still spoken so positively. That Remus didnโt believe the verdict. He knew better.
โThatโs me. Now be quiet, and take advantage of Mooney having a full belly.โ He hushed you, as he would begin to try and help with your leg. He would take his torn shirt off, and forced you to bite into it. Trying to make you quiet, as he popped the bone into place. Making you scream into the fabric, as you held Remus tighter. Suppose in that feral brain of his could register his mate was hurting, and soon was nuzzling his face against yours. Using his nose to wipe your tears away.
โThere. Worse of it is over. Now how about-โ Before he could finish, the sound of the basement door was opening. Before Sirius could do anything, you grabbed his pant leg. Trying to get him to stay. The pain, however, made you feel to weak. Your vision was blurring, as you curled up against Remus. It was all to much, and soonโฆ..You blacked out.
Morning came, and it was unwanted. The sunlight on your face, and making you groan. โFive more minutes-โ Was your reply to the beast, before a chuckle was a reply. A chuckle you knew very well. A laugh that made you fight the sun, and open your eyes. Remus.
โMorning, pup.โ He smiled, as he set his book aside. His scared up hand was quick to help brush the sleep from your eyes, as you took in the world. Such as how your leg was propped up, and that all the blinding white was from the medical wing. Another comforting sight was that Padfoot was in another medical bed. Being treated, and not sent to Azkaban.
โLots of questions, I know. Iโll keep it short. I had made an attempt to go check on Sirius, last night, only for the two of us to stumble upon a familiar rat. We chased him for so long, we didnโt register the moon. Suppose it was a good thing we didnโt. A lot of good has now been done, with him disposed.โ Despite what seemed like good news, there were tears in his eyes. Like he lost an old friend. Suppose youโll ask about that later. Now, you needed rest.
โI canโt believe you came chasing after me.โ He tsked, as he was already using a cold rag on your face. Helping you cool off. โSuppose Harry is to blame. I could have hurt you. I would never forgive myself if I had infected you to. I could have-โ He went on and on, before you held his hand. Forcing him to stop, as you smiled.
โThen you wonโt be so lonely on those full moons, would you?โ He wanted to be frustrated with you, but that would be rather hypocritical. So, he just gave a defeated sigh. With a smile. โI have a type, it seemsโฆ.โ Was added, as Harry was soon to enter the wing. Along with his friends. Hermione, and Ron. All needing answers about why an escaped convict was in the medical wing.
Remus would give a sigh, as you scooted over. As best as you could, so he could sit with you. The trio was soon on the neighboring bed, sitting together, while keep quiet for Sirius to sleep. A snuggle into Remusโs lap, and he took a deep breath. Knowing you were there to support him.
โIt all started, when three little Gryffindors thought it was wise to become unregistered Animagiโฆ.โ

Prompt 7 - Revive Potion
@wolfstarmicrofic March 7, word count 289
Sirius looked at the many bandages covering his friend as he lay in the hospital bed in the schoolโs infirmary.ย
โDonโt worry dear,โ Madam Pomfrey bustled over to check on her patient. โIt looks worse than it is. Another couple of hours and Iโll give him a revive potion. He heals fast. Heโll be back to his old self in no time.โ She squeezed his shoulder before moving on to her next patient.
Sirius wished he could do something for his friend. He hated seeing what Remus did to himself every full moon.ย
He settled back into the hard chair and flipped open his book again. It landed on a page about animagi. Hmm, he thought, interesting. ย

Ok, ok, hear me out!
What do we know of the Patronus Charm? It takes the form of an animal which somehow represents the person, but not like the Animagus form exactly as it can be affected and changed, unlike it, due to circumstances, such as deep love for someone, but it also doesn't have to take a form, if the spell isn't too strong, or if the one making it prefers to hide the animal.
And what do we know about Remus's Patronus? He hides it throughout the whole PoA, despite teaching Harry the spell. And then in the end it is revealed that it's a wolf. Not a werewolf but a wolf.
Now let's go back for a moment to how it represents the person in a way but it can also be changed. I feel like the whole part of a wolf but not a werewolf (that are supposed to still be pretty close to actual wolves, not the movie... thing that gives me chills with how ugly it is) indicates that Remus is not completely associating himself with the werewolf thing, even though we know it has left a mark on him and he struggles with it a lot. But his Patronus is still not that exactly. Also, just a wolf doesn't scream "I'm a werewolf" really. But he still hides it. Yeah, it could be panic and overthinking but it could be something else too. What if he doesn't hide it from others but because he doesn't want to see it because it hurts him?
And let's go for a moment to Half-Blood Prince where Harry sees Tonks's Patronus and he first thinks it's a dog and thinks it's about Sirius until in the end it turns out it's a wolf. And let's remember that the books are from Harry's POV and he's not the most observant.
What I'm trying to say with this whole thing is, what if he did that mistake twice? What if Remus's Patronus was not a wolf but a dog?! (We know he had felt guilty and wanted to tell Dumbledore that Sirius is an Animagus but somehow couldn't and he did think he betrayed them all and what if that's why he didn't want to see the form of his Patronus)
I know it's a hot take and I'm slightly delulu and lots of people are gonna come up with different arguments as to why no, it's indeed a wolf but still...
