Harry Potter OCs- Marauders Era
A/N #1: I have divided up the ocs between Marauders era, Golden Trio era and others/extra ocs simply because there are so many. When I started writing I made ocs because x readers stressed me out a lot trying to keep everything in mind that readers typically complain about. Then as I continued I just kept making ocs (some of which don’t follow any of the plot) and now I have this. So...sorry? 
A/N #2: The first pic under each description is the oc as a student then the second is them after Hogwarts

I know Regulus died. However I recognize the council has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid ass decision, I've elected to ignore it. For purposes of this ship we'll say Regulus and someone else did a 7 Harry's deal from DH pt 1 and that person (disguised as Regulus) died in place of him

She's a werewolf, she had been helping Remus during a full moon and accidentally got too close to him and was bitten (Remus felt so bad, he avoided her for a week)
Sirius was actually the one to come up with her marauders nickname. He had been researching werewolves and shortened the official name (lycanthrope)
When James and Lily had been killed, Madeline begged Dumbledore to let her take Harry, but he wouldn't give in. Petunia wouldn't let her anywhere near her house so she literally had no idea how he was or what was going on
When Snape outed Remus as a werewolf, Remus did everything in his power to make sure the same wouldn't happen to Madeline

Tumblr media
Sirius recounts the first time he met you well, -saw you- for better judgment. It was a little party, a couple weeks ago; just a gathering with some old friends and classmates, hosted by James and Lily at their house for a small reunion. Wine and finger food being consumed, laughter and stories being shared around the living room, just all around a good time. 
Sirius was catching up with Frank and Alice when you walked through the door with Mary. And -wow- were you pretty. You were wearing a light green number that ended right above your knees and the sleeves stopped on your elbows giving him a view of the numerous bracelets on your lovely wrist. Your hair sat perfect and your shoulders looked toothsome. You had an easy smile while conversing with Lily and Mary and handed over a box in which he guessed held some sweets inside. You were pretty and thoughtful? Oh did the universe have a beautiful way of rewarding him.
“Seems like birdie riled up the dog,” Alice teased. Sirius, rather solemnly, shifts his attention from you. “What? No, pshh, don’t even know what you’re talking about,” Sirius waves his hand dismissively, before he sneakily sneaks another glance at you once you enter the living room.
 “I’ve never seen her before, did she go to school with us?” Frank inquires before taking a sip of one of Marlene’s famous sugary cocktails. “No, she studied abroad, can’t pinpoint where though, maybe, Sirius will find out for us,” Alice mischievously smirks up at Sirius.
Said man-dog looks up to where you are now conversing with Remus and Lily, still looking ravishing and smooth. “You know what, maybe I will.” He finalizes before raising his glass to the couple in front him, excusing himself to make way to you. “Go fetch, Paddy!” Alice laughs. Sirius flips her off quickly without turning around.
“Wow! You’ve really been all around the world and more, you’ve gotta take me with you one day,” Lily exclaims while holding your hands excitedly. You smile warmly clutching her back airily, “Hardly around the whole world but, I’ll definitely take you to the places worthwhile your time,”
“Excuse my sudden intrusion, but I don’t think we've met yet,” Sirius sneaks in the conversation; sly as a fox with eyes looking at only you. “Oh I don’t think we have, I apologize I still have to make my rounds, Remus and Lily have been such great company I simply just had to stay and talk,” You say with an easy smile -oh wow you were pretty, did he already say you were pretty?-  “Oh, no,” Remus says your name, “flatters too much, she’s been telling us about her exciting life, we’re just the audience,” Remus says with a simple smile.
That should have been a big deal breaker -I mean it is- that the Remus Lupin, is enjoying a conversation with a complete stranger about their life!
“Well, hopefully, I can hear about this exhilarating life myself,” Sirius says with an award-winning smile, hoping he wasn’t making an absolute dog of himself, -no pun intended- “Hopefully you will after you introduce yourself,” You reply with an equally dazzling smile and teasing eyes. Sirius thinks his skin is tingling and he’s excited and nervous and he hasn’t replied to you yet, “O-oh, yeah sorry, I’m Sirius,” You nod, now grinning with your pearly whites barely showing beneath your glossy lips. “Oh I didn’t ask what you were feeling, I asked for your name,” He watches your eyebrows raise up expectantly, eyes holding a little mirth in them, while Lily giggles and Remus lets out an amused huff. Oh my God, you are adorable. He observes you dreamily, speechless. “Sorry bad joke, nice to meet you, Sirius,” You chuckle effortlessly. “No, no, very clever, you should try stand-up comedy,” He gives a boyish grin. You offer your name gracefully and he humbly accepts it. He tries it out on his tongue, repeating it to himself. Remus and Lily watch this scene over with a knowing smirk.
 “Well, I think I smell James burning something in the kitchen, Rem, mind helping me drag his body out while we can?” Lily pipes up. “Not at all, excuse us.” Remus replies with a teasing grin, holding out his arm for Lily to take while they walk away.
Once Remus and Lily leave the conversation, you reposition your eyes back to the handsome man in front of you to be met with his eyes already on you. “How about we sit down so I can hear about this novel-worthy life of yours?”
You and Sirius stuck by each other for the whole party: meeting the rest of the guests together, feeding him the different delicious food Lily made, sitting and getting to know about where you studied and his time at Hogwarts. And Sirius has come to the conclusion that you are incredible. You’re incredible and educated, and sweet, and well-versed with books and the world, and let’s not talk about your acceptable music taste, and you are incredible and it's incredibly attractive to Sirius.
By the end of the night he was partially jumping out of his seat to ask you out. You said your goodbyes to Lily and James and thanked them (mostly Lily) for the food and the night. James and Sirius have a non verbal conversation while you and Lily make plans to have a day with the rest of the girls. 
You’re gonna ask her out aren't you? James raises his eyebrows while pursing his lips.
Uh duh, are you seeing what I’m seeing! Sirius rolls his head while widening his eyes.
James was in the middle of replying to Sirius with a dramatic head nod like the stag he is when they both caught on that your conversation was coming to an end.
“Ah, thank you again Lily! And, I’ll be sure to call you to let you know when I’m free,” You say happily, a little alcohol in your system that loosened you up; making you warm. “Yes, definitely! I’ll see you later, drive safe you two!” Lily says matching your enthusiasm waving you both goodbye while you walk down to your cars. “Thank you! Bye!” You wave the couple with matched gusto.
As you both walked down to the cars lining up the driveway you realized that Mary left earlier to drop off Marlene and Peter which ultimately means you don't have a ride. You subconsciously groan at yourself. Ugh! He’s totally gonna think I’m desperate! You whined inwardly.  
“Hey, um, you can totally say no, and I can call a cab, but Mary left me stranded and I don’t have a ride, and this is the part where you can say no, and I can call a taxi-” Sirius looks at you fondly as you ramble. I am so asking you out. He dreams to himself. 
“Hey, hey, first of all, you are not taking a taxi at this time of night,” He gently places his hands on your frantic arms. “Second of all, who did you meet tonight? Cause I personally thought you met a handsome gentleman, y’know? You might have met him; dark-haired, tatted, amazing hair, and an exceptional wizard,” He flips his hair dramatically making you giggle, softly calming you down after your rant. “But apparently you met some arse who probably smells like car oil and beer, who would probably leave you at the pub,” He masks a faux concern, his right hand coming up to tuck a fly-away hair after a gust of wind passes by. You grin at him gently, peering at him through your lashes. Merlin, this man is gorgeous.
“Hmm, I believe I met the arse if my memory doesn’t fail me,” A glint of mischievousness flashes on your face while you bite away at an upcoming smile. Sirius scoffs offendedly as he grasps the left side of his chest where his heart is located. “Ah! You wound me, angel! And here I thought you were my wish come true,” He squints his eyes as his head shoots back. You let out a hearty laugh at his little show, enjoying the play a little too much.
You start to walk away from the improvised actor, as his arms swing back to his side, lazily. “Did anyone tell you how animated you are?” You look back at him over your shoulder in a cat-like manner. “Can’t recall if anyone did, pretty girl,” He jogs up to your side again, placing a hand on your lower back as he guides you to the passenger side of his car, opening the door for you. 
You slide into the cold, leather seats while Sirius practically slides over the hood to get into the driver's side. He opens the door feverishly and closes it with the same amount of. “Are you always this excited to drive someone home?” You ask as he starts up the car. “Just eager to get you home safe…and maybe be invited into said safe-haven for a cup of tea, or a good time,” He turns to you and gives you a flirty wink, as he sets his arm at the backside of your chair to shift his eyes at the back of the car to reverse out the driveway. You scoff, while teasing a look at his face and neck and how delicious he looks working a car. “My, aren't you frank,” You tell him your address as he drives out the neighborhood. You smile at the road as he expertly drives with his left hand on the wheel, while the right hangs by; inching to hold yours. 
“Good to know you appreciate my very endearing qualities,” He smirks, not taking his eyes off the road. The big grin on your lips stays glued on. Your eyes locate the hand that temptingly rests on the console, waiting to be filled with your hand that happens to be empty. You slowly slither your own fist towards his and you opt to link pinkys. Sirius’ little smirk widens into a full blown smile as he feels the little contact initiated by you. 
You soon realize when you and Sirius start talking that he’s such an uncomplicated character. He’s easy, charming, positive, a little bit of a stud but, you can get over that. For the next ten minutes, you engage in a relaxed conversation about your life and passions. The car starts wheeling into your little neighborhood when the talking dies down. “Right here, the little cream colored house,” You use your pointer-finger to show direction to your abode. Sirius turns the wheel with an open palm to your very small driveway. He turns the ignition off and rotates his whole body to peer at you, softly. 
“So…” He starts with a cheeky look. You chuckle and steer your eyes towards his dark brown iris’. You speak up with a dope grin. “So..thanks for driving me, and the stimulating argument about Bowie and Elton…I really appreciate,” You nod and look away from his handsome face. “Anytime, pretty,” He speaks gingerly. Now’s the time you git!
You opened your mouth to say goodbye until he interrupted. “Um, hey, I had an amazing time talking to you tonight, you’re incredibly incredible-” You giggle coyly, “Incredibly incredible?” He looks at you entranced. “I’m getting there, birdy,” He looks at you with a smug face, “As, I was saying before you started chirping,” He pinches your cheek, “I was wondering if you would like to join me for dinner, at my place, I make a mean carbonara?” He says bashfully, sitting with hopeful energy; if he was in his animagus form his tail would be whipping around.
You both sat there looking at each other. Sirius expectantly and you blazing; flustered. “Yeah..yeah, I’d love to,” Biting away at an enormous grin, eyes everywhere but his. “Great, I’ll call you so we can arrange our date,” He replies buzzing with a cheshire grin. The skittish atmosphere was suffocating and endearing at the same time. “That we will do,” You open the passenger side and get out. You bend down and look at him one last time brushing your hair behind your ear sheepishly, “Thank you for tonight really, and I’m excited for this famous carbonara,” Sirius bites his lip looking at you, “No problem and you will not regret it, it’s one of a kind,” You smile at him thoughtfully, “Goodnight Sirius.” “Goodnight pretty.” 
Sirius drives out of your driveway after he made sure you safely got into your house. He drives away blasting Bowie, already planning to call James about scoring his date with you. A dizzying smile the whole drive back to his flat.
Tumblr media
Inviting you to his apartment for dinner was the best idea he’s ever had, Sirius thinks.
You’re sat perched up gorgeously on his kitchen counter while he grinds black pepper to the spaghetti in the pan. Jazz music in the background, playing softly while the whole apartment smells of good food and new relationships.  It’s like you belong in any environment and you make it your own; you fit perfectly in any space he lets you into, it's breathtaking, you’re breathtaking. 
“So, where’d you learn how to cook?” You inquire before taking a sip of your wine, crossing your legs. Sirius mixes up the sauce into the spaghetti when he replies. “My family has ties in France so..I take advantage of their money and head out for a couple of weeks. I’ve become quite acquainted with the cuisine, the language, the city of love,” He gives you a wink. You laugh at his witty behavior before retorting. “Oh wow, he’s bilingual, a cook, and a philanderer? My, what a catch you are!” You tease with a smirk. “Oh shush, you,”
 He puckers up his lip subconsciously asking for a sip of wine and you’d be insane not to oblige. You hop off the counter and pick up his glass, striding to where he was stirring the food. You tilt the dainty glass to his inviting lips. He gulps down carefully trying not to spill on his very expensive black turtleneck. You giggle at his antics, “Alright French casanova, I’m pulling away,” You stick to your word to his displeasure; he liked you being so close. 
“Wow, pretty girls are mean,” He pouts dramatically. “Well get used to it mister, ten step hair care routine,” You scrunch your nose, while walking away to cut up the fresh baguette. “Okay, miss universe, the cutting board is in the cabinet under you and the serrated knife is right beside me,” You bend down and grab the handle of the wooden cutting board before you hear a wolf whistle. You whip up before giving him a joking glare. “Hey, there's a deliciously incredible girl in my kitchen helping me cook some delicious food, don't blame me!” He raises his hands up guiltily. You roll your eyes before walking towards him to grab the knife.
“Do pray tell who this delicious, incredible girl is,” You place a hand on his shoulder looking at him slyly. “Hm, I would tell but then I’d have to kill you,” He looks at you with a foxy stare. “Well, people have mentioned that I’m one for risks,” You take hold of the knife and olive oil, steering your eyes away from his dark eyes. “Ever heard that curiosity killed the cat, birdy? ” He draws closer to your face, “Good that I’m a bird then huh,” You taunt, peering at his pink lips. “Aren’t you a minx?” He smirks, “Well thank you, thank you very much.” You deepen your voice to imitate Presley and perk up your shoulder while making your back to the waiting bread. He chuckles and cuts his line of sight to the food in front of him.
Hot food is excellently plated, bread is cut, and wine refilled. The ambience is toasty and orange, illuminated by two small lamps and a couple dozen candles. You were both eating and drinking and you’re enjoying his company and his little quips and stories about his years with The Marauders: the pranks, the curriculum, some sport called quidditch. And you tell him about your life, traveling around and learning about the magic in different countries and how they use it differently and the schools you studied at.
“All that traveling must have been hard?” Sirius asks. “Well, my family has never been one to be anchored to one place –too suffocating I guess– so I’ve never really imagined my life to be a still, unmoving picture y’know?” You answer before shoving a fork tight with saucy pasta in your mouth. “Yeah I understand, I actually share similar feelings,” He sips his wine and you finish chewing.
“Really? How so?” “Heard of the Black family, darling?” “Ah makes sense,"
He shifts in his seat before continuing, “My parents had a special way of making your entire existence feel like it was a non-stop debutante ball,” You laugh while holding another fork of food to your lips. “Foods good?” He asks while looking at your puckered, sassy, mouth. “Hm! Yeah, it’s amazing and –did you add lemon?” Curious eyes find his, “Yeah, just a little secret ingredient.”
Easy gossip came after that for the next hour -or two- you both couldn’t really care. 
The needle hit ten and both of you were still deep in conversation. Plates pushed aside, bottle half-full, –so are your stomachs– and hearts happy. And Sirius is comfortable, his expectations of this little date exceeded by a mile, and you were still as lovely and incredible as the last time; being lit up by the moon, eyes shining with drowsiness, ready to go to bed. But this time you were kindled by the warm flavor of the fire and adorned a tranquil smile, eyes reflecting the flame he probably shared. You’re happy and you wear it so well, he’s thinking about the next time he experiences this luck and how to extend his time with you because you’re looking at his clock and he needs to act quick.
“Oh it’s getting late, I should probably get going,” You say tight-lipped, picking up your finished plate and standing up. “Are you sure?It’s late?” He swiftly gets up and takes your plate, disregarding your protests as he heads to the kitchen, poking fun at your complaint; sticking out his tongue about the help you didn't give. “Yeah I better, I’ve overstayed my welcome; don’t want you getting bored of me,” You lean on the doorframe to the kitchen, crossing your arms while watching him place the plates in the sink. His biceps contracting beneath the wool of his black sleeve, his hair up in a bun giving you a peek at the tattoo on his neck. He turns fully towards you as he walks to your figure. 
“I could never! You could crawl into my skin and I wouldn’t even utter an objection,” He replies, uncrossing your arms to hold your soft hands, “Oh yuck, that’s just a scene from Alien,” You say with faux disgust, “Sounds like a date idea, doesn’t it?” He gives you a cheeky smile, “What? Crawling into your skin or Alien? Cause I’d rather not spend a nice Sunday suffocating in you or traveling in outer space,” You raise a brow as you poke fun at the man in front of you, “Funny girl aren’t you?” He narrows his eyes at your giggling form, as you start swinging your guys’ arms, “Of course! That's why I have ladies and gentlemen lining up to watch me,” you jut your chin out in fun, “Well I’d push them all out the way with my spaceship just so I can steal you away from all those possible horrible bachelors,” He drags you out to the living room and you notice just in time before he smothers you with his smooth-talk.
“Sly aren't you? Distracting me from leaving,” You plant your heels to stop the trek to the living room, “Dammit, wasn’t as careful as I thought,” He huffs in annoyance, “Well you are a dog, not a fox hun,” You say walking to the foyer.
“Hun?” He slips his large hands to your waist while you grab your coat. He gathers the fabric away to slip it on you himself. “I like hun.” You twirl around to see a little smirk, his hands locating your waist again, “Hmm good, cause I think we need to change birdy,” You say.
“What! Birdy totally fits!” He counters while you let out a giggle, “It totally doesn't-” “Oh yes it does, you chirp, you fly around the world, you’re smart and incredible,” He counts the reasons on his fingers when you interrupt, “I believe you broke a world record calling me incredible,” He looks away from his fingers and places his hands on your waist again but pulls you against him this time, sending electrifying shots throughout your body and making you warm.
“Well it’s true, You are incredible,” He stares at your face, memorizing it to memory, “I think it’s fair I also let you know, I think you’re incredible too,” You peer up at him, “Yeah?” He purrs, “Yeah,” You reply softly, “How incredible would you say?” He asks smugly. You scoff at his attention-seeking before pulling away, “Alright rockstar I'm gonna head out,” You pat his chest and walk towards the door. He opens it gloomily, wearing a little pout and giving you his best puppy dog eyes.
“Do you really have to go?” He practically hangs off the door, “Yes, lovely, I have work tomorrow,” You place a gentle hand on his cheek, “I’ll walk you to your car,” He elevates himself before you stop him, “My legs work fine Sirius, I can walk down myself,” You giggle. God does he want you to stay and keep making that wonderful noise. “Call me when you get back safe?” He sulks, “Deal,” You smile at him, “Thanks for tonight, I enjoyed myself and you of course,” He stares at you through his lashes, “Hm no, I should thank you for coming, you brought color into the apartment, my life was getting dull,” He cheeks at you as you slap him gently on the arm.
You look at him deep in thought before you lean up and give him a kiss right on the side of his lips. He closes his eyes and he starts to feel limp at the feel of your soft, plush lips. You pull away and laugh at his drunk-happy grin.
“Bye hun,” You start pulling away down the hallway, “Bye incredible girl.” He waves dumbly as he watches you walk down the stairs away from his prying eyes. Godric help him; he's on fire.

Modern Marauders: Remus’ Birthday
December 23rd, 8:24 pm
Sirius took a small sip of his tea and forced himself not to make a face. Hope liked her tea the same way her son did, more sugar than tea. He took one more sip to be polite and then set it down in front of him. James chugged his down and set it down as well.
“Great” Sirius thought to himself. It was an amazing idea to give a teenager with ADHD a shit ton of sugar.
Hope sat down across from them and gave them a grin.
“I thought you boys were spending Christmas at Hogwarts with Remus since he can’t come home”
“We are” James interjected politely, his hands slightly shaking. Sirius mentally groaned at the sight of it.
“We told Remus we had to go pick something up from my house but in all honesty, we wanted to see you and talk to you about something”
Hope (she refused to let anyone call her Mrs. Lupin) raised an eyebrow in curiosity.
“And what is that?”
“Remus’ birthday. It’s coming up in two months, we have no idea what to do for his birthday this year, and we refuse to let it pass without something special. I’m sure you’ve heard of the past celebrations”
Hope coughed on her tea and laughed.
“If you’re referring to Remus writing to me about you boys setting off fireworks in the great hall during breakfast last year, then yes, I am aware”
Sirius gave her a sheepish grin.
“He made us promise not to do anything too big this year but we aren’t sure we can do that. We promised no fireworks, explosions, or school property damage. We actually wanted to hold a surprise party for him. But we need something to give it that extra oomph, ya know?”
Hope looked thoughtful and then carefully said “Why don't you have a theme for the party?”
James sat up in excitement. “Yes! A themed party. We can plan the party around that!”. Then his face scrunched up in confusion. “The only problem with that is that Remus doesn’t really like anything enough to hold a party around”
Hope sat back and looked deep in thought. “Give me two weeks and I’ll send something via owl that can help”
January 14th, 2:30 pm
Lily looked startled at the pile of books that fell on the table in front of her and then up at the boys that dropped it.
She scowled at a smirking James Potter and a smiling Sirius Black.
“Can I help you?”
Sirius’ grin grew at her offering help, unaware that it was complete sarcasm.
“Yes! As I’m sure you know, Remus’ birthday is coming up in a few weeks. He made us promise nothing big. No fireworks, no explosions, no coordinated dance numbers. But he didn’t say we couldn’t throw a party. We just didn’t know what theme to have a party so we visited his mother and today, she sent these back. We’re not exactly sure what they are, only that they’re muggle and neither of us knows what the hell it is. She said he absolutely loves them, the blue one is his favorite and that he would kill her if he knew that she sent them to us”
Lily peered at the books and a grin replaced her scowl. "Comics? I love the Avengers! I didn’t know Remus liked reading comics!”
James nodded. His mother mentioned that he always loved them but when he was a kid, the neighborhood kids gave him shit for liking comics. They bullied him because of it, so he doesn't want anyone else knowing. So you know what these are?
Lily laughed and arched an eyebrow. ‘Know it? Please, I love the Avengers!”
She flipped through a couple of pages and looked deep in thought.
“How much are you willing to do to make Remus happy?”
James and Sirius looked at each other and responded in unison. “Anything. We’ll do anything for Remus”.
Lily laughed and grabbed a blank piece of paper and a pencil from her bag and started sketching. “Okay, since Remus doesn’t want a lot of people knowing, it’ll be just us. I’ve been working on my charms and transfiguration so I know I can make these. I’ll go as my favorite Avenger and then you two can go as the other two. You guys handle the decorations, cake, and getting Remus there” She paused thoughtfully.
“We need one more person to join us. No group of heros is complete without a villain. And from the number of times he pops up in these comics, he is Remus’ favorite for sure”.
Sirius slapped the table. “I know someone who owes me a favor and loves cake. I’ll get him to come"
Lily grinned. “Great!”
March 10th, 5:55 pm
Remus looked suspiciously at the note in his hand. Sirius slipped it to him during lunch and then disappeared all day. James also disappeared and he couldn’t find Lily during lunch. The note said to come up to the dorm room at 6 pm on the dot. Remus sighed and prepared himself. His friends took everything to the next level. He couldn't predict whether there would be fireworks, a hippogriff, or the whomping willow in his room.
Remus paused outside of the door carefully, preparing himself before he twisted the door open and stepped into the dark.
“Hello?” he murmured cautiously before someone flipped the switch and a group of people screamed “Happy Birthday!”
Remus looked around in shock at the dorm room. The beds and dressers were gone, replaced with tables laden with his favorite foods and a huge multi-colored cake. He blinked as he tried to process what his friends were wearing. No. It couldn’t be. James whooped in a very realistic Iron Man costume. Lily smirked at him in her Scarlet Witch costume. A tight-lipped Regulus glared at him from the corner, dressed as Loki. Finally, Sirius ran up and pulled him in a hug while wearing a Thor costume.
‘Happy birthday Re!”
Remus was speechless. His friends dressed up as the Avengers. For his birthday.
“H-How did you know I liked the avengers?”
James gave him a conspiratorial wink. “A little birdy told us”
Remus looked around in confusion.
“Where did you get these costumes?”
Lily laughed and pulled her wand out. “C’mon, we have magic. Just a bit of charms and transfiguration, and voila!”
Sirius grinned at him. ‘Do you like it Re?”
Remus opened and closed his mouth a few times while tears pooled in his eyes as he looked around at each of them again.
Sirius' felt himself grow nervous and anxious. Maybe they had gone too far. Hope did say he was bullied for liking comics. Maybe they shouldn’t have done this-
Remus’ face broke open into a grin and he laughed as he wiped away his tears.
“Like it? I love this! What the hell, this is amazing. I can’t believe you went through all this trouble for me. And you?” Remus beckoned to a bored looking Regulus.
Regulus shrugged at him. “I owed Sirius a favor and he promised me I could have cake.” Then his blank face was overtaken by a small grin. “And happy birthday Remus.”
Remus laughed as he pulled his friends into a group hug. Even Regulus let himself get pulled in.
Lily broke away and pointed to the bathroom. “I think there’s one more costume in the bathroom for the birthday boy. I heard it’s your favorite”
Remus ducked into the bathroom to get changed. As Sirius laughed and pointed his hammer at the ceiling, a large roar of thunder shook the room and lightning hit the quidditch field. Sirius looked in shock at his hammer.
Lily cringed as she took it from him. “Maybe I shouldn’t have given a charmed hammer that creates lightning to the person with the least amount of impulse control.”
March 11th, 2:00 am
Hope sat up quickly in fear. There was a scratching at the window and a beat of wings.
“Lyall”, she whispered as she shook her husband awake, "there’s something at the window"
Lyall grabbed his wand from the nightstand and stood up quickly. He inched quietly to the window and opened it.
A large, white owl flew into the room and dropped a letter on a terrified Hope Lupin before flying out. Hope cautiously opened the letter and grinned as a photograph fell out. It was a picture of Remus grinning wildly in a Captain America costume next to Lily, Sirius, James, and a boy that looked like Sirius. On the back, written in her son's messy handwriting, were the words "Thank you -R.J.L.”

Key: (Y/H/C) = your house colour
White lily flower petals littered the green grass, acting as an aisle for the bride to walk down as the guests waited impatiently in their seats. 
James was probably the most anxious out of everyone there. He had been in-love with you since sixth year back at Hogwarts and now here he was waiting for you to arrive at the wedding. 
Silver chairs were wrapped with pieces of white and ivory fabric, a combination you’ve always adored, and white tulips lined the aisle. There was a makeshift stage in front of them, where the bride and groom would stand and finally be one. The setting looked like something straight out of a fairytale. 
After a few minutes, you had apparated along with your parents. Since it was still in the midst of a war, you opted out of the traditional wedding dress your parents had wished for and opted for a simple but elegant dress instead. James held his breath as he watched your father walk you down the aisle and right pass him. 
***
Christmas was always your favourite holiday. Back home with your parents, the days counting down to Christmas were spent together as a family and gift exchanges were the best. You would’ve thought that this tradition would end after you got accepted into Hogwarts but your muggle parents had managed to get used to using the owl and were able to share the experience with you. 
With Christmas just a week away, your parents had already sent 7 owls, making the house elves who tended to the school owls very exhausted, and were sending another owl soon.
“They seem to really enjoy using owls.” James said as he watched an owl fly in through the Common Room and drop off a package into your lap. 
“I thought they would’ve been wary of using animals to send stuff but turns out I was wrong.” You replied as you opened the paper package. Since you were away from school, your parents had decided to switch the order of activities you’d all do. You were supposed to be baking cookies with your mom while your dad sang Christmas songs around the kitchen on this day.
Inside the package were two knitted sweaters, one a deep crimson and the other a (Y/H/C). Raising a brow at the second sweater, you searched the package for a note and found it in-between the two. 
Dear (Y/N),
Hi honey, your father and I hope you’re doing well at school. 
We know that today was supposed to be baking but we’ve heard that it’s been getting pretty cold up there in the highlands so we decided to send you your sweater earlier. Your father had also decided to knit an extra one for that James boy you’re always mentioning. We hope you both like them and we can’t wait to have you back home in two days! 
Love you.  Mom and dad. P.S: Why not bring James home for Christmas? We’re always happy to have guests over.
“You alright there (Y/N)?” James asked, causing you to look at him. You hadn't noticed that you were so focused on the letter in front of you until James pointed it out. “What’d they send today?”
“Oh just sweaters. They also knitted one for you.” 
James' face lit up and he practically dived into the spot beside you on the couch to grab said sweater. He held it up to look at it before quickly putting it on. It fit him perfectly. 
He had always loved the sweaters your parents knitted so now that he was able to have one of his own he couldn’t seem to hide the smile that graced his features. It suited him, both the sweater and the smile. He smiled often but it was more mischievous but this one was genuine. You liked seeing him like this. 
“I need to thank them. What’s a good gift I could get them?” James' question broke you out of your daydream. 
“You could come over?” It sounded more like you were reading off of a script rather than just asking him. Merlin why were you so nervous around this boy. 
“What?”
“For Christmas dinner. My parents wanted to invite you to our Christmas dinner. You don’t have to go of course, they were just suggesting it since I-”
“I’d love to.” 
Realizing what you were about to reveal, you were thankful for James cutting you off. You simply smiled at him and tried your best to contain your excitement as he went back to marveling at the sweater. 
“Bollocks, I have practice in ten,” James sighed. Pulling the sweater off his head you couldn’t but stare at the bit of exposed skin as his undershirt rose. “I’ll see you after practice love. Oh and the dinner! Send me an owl what time.” He said as he ran out of the Common Room a little too loudly. A few students shushed at him but by then he was already running down the halls towards the changerooms. 
***
“(Y/N) are you done yet?” Your mother called from downstairs. 
You were in your bathroom after your sixth outfit change of the night. For some reason the first five outfits weren’t what you had envisioned them to look like. After an hour of hair, makeup and six outfit changes, you finally felt content with your appearance and was finally  ready to go downstairs. 
James was supposed to arrive in less than an hour which meant you had more than enough time to get the table set and help put up any last minute decorations. Perhaps your parents took Christmas a little too seriously you thought to yourself, looking out the window at the giant candy canes and lights that lit up the entire yard. It looked like something out of a bloody Christmas story. 
“I’ll get it!” Your father announced after hearing the doorbell ring. Your mother chuckled and walked to join him at the door while you stood behind them, silently praying that they won’t embarrass themselves in front of the boy they knew you liked. 
“You must be James.” You heard your father say in a monotone voice. From the small space between your parents, you could see James' charming smile falter as he grew nervous. 
“Yes sir. It’s a pleasure to meet you Mr. and Mrs. (Y/L/N).” He said, surprisingly without stuttering, as he offered his hand out for them to shake. 
“Come in dear, you must be freezing.” Your mother said. Pushing your father to the side, she pulled him inside and offered to hang up his jacket. He politely declined and did it himself. 
Your father looked back at you and nodded at you causing you to roll your eyes. Tonight was going to be interesting.
“(Y/N)!” You heard James call out. Turning your head in his direction, you watched as he approached you with open arms and a smile. Wrapping your arms around him, you pulled him into a warm hug which made you shiver when you realized that he was freezing. “I got this for you and your parents.” He said as he handed you a fairly large gift bag. 
Setting it on the couch, you opened it up to see a few bottles from his parents beauty line along with some baked goods. He even bought two candles in your favourite scent and candy. He knew you too well. 
“Dinner is ready!” 
Perhaps your parents were a little too excited for this dinner. Their eyes went wide as they watched James pull out the chair for you before taking the one beside you, facing your parents. While your father grabbed food for himself and your mom, James filled up your plate with foods he knew you liked. Your parents shared a knowing look before starting to pester the poor boy with questions. 
The questions started off as generic: What are your goals, what is your plan for the future, what are your favourite classes, what house are you in and etc. Your parents acted as if they hadn’t already known the answer to these questions due to the amount of times you’ve told them about him.
“Are you dating anybody?” Your father had decided to ask, ignoring how your eyes went wide and signed for him to stop. 
“Oh I actually am.” James replied and your father raised a brow. Your mother looked both shocked and hurt for you. “She’s in Gryffindor like me, Lily Evans. We’ve been dating for two weeks so far.” 
“That’s great, I’m sure she’s lovely.” Your mother quickly regretted saying that as the rest of the dinner was spent talking about Lily Evans. James would not shut up for a second talking about how lovely and amazing she was that you were more than relieved when he noticed the time and had to leave. 
After the door closed behind him, your parents barely had a chance to call for you as you ran up the stairs and into your room. You didn’t come out until the following afternoon when they bribed you with waffles despite it being 3 pm. 
***
After the Christmas dinner with James the news of his new relationship quickly spread. You started isolating yourself from him, not that you had to even try considering he’d spend all his time with Lily. As weeks went by you’d start talking to Remus, who you grew a sibling-like relationship with the more you talked ot each-other. It started off with complaining about how James essentially ditched you and his friends to spend all his time with Lily and barely even remembering to say hi to them. Then as it progressed you both started to actually spend time with each-other and talk without any mention of James Potter or Lily Evans. 
During this time, James' two other friends, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew, were still trying to get a word with James but after one too many failed attempts, decided to join Remus. You quickly befriended them both, just like how you did with Remus, and the four of you spent if not all, most of your free time outside of classes together. It was like you had replaced the void James’ left in their group. 
Before his relationship, James was often said to act like a mother to the boys but when you joined, it was actually Remus who became the mother hen. He was the one nagging you to study and telling Sirius to actually pay attention in class and stopping Peter from wanting to raid the kitchen every other hour. As much as he’s grown to love you, he did not hesitate to complain about how childish you acted but you would only stick your tongue out at him before finally starting to do what you were supposed to. You really did become the sister he never had and despite him getting annoyed every few minutes, he truly did love you and wanted the best for you. 
Maybe that was why he had snapped at James when the boy came crawling back to his friends. News spread like wildfire around Hogwarts that James had broken up with Lily and despite you being one of the first few people to hear about it, you didn’t care.
“What do you mean I can’t tell her?” James asked. Remus and Peter were in their dorms, previously in a conversation before James barged into the room asking for their forgiveness of how he’s been treating them the past few months. 
“I said, you’re not going to tell (Y/N) that you’re in-love with her.” Remus replied calmly before turning back to Peter. 
“But why.”
“Because she’s dating Sirius now that’s why!” James fell silent and could only look at Remus in shock. “The two people you’ve hurt the most are together now. And they’re happy as well so there is no way in hell I’m going to let you ruin it.” 
“Moony I’m in-love with her, what do you want me to do.?”
“Suck it up. Act like you’re not. You were amazing at completely ignoring us for the past few months anyways.”
“This is different I can’t pretend about something that feels too real. Moony you’ve got to understand that I’m in-love with her.” 
“Well that’s too bad,” Remus said as he stood up. Regardless of how much he loved his friend, he not only hurt him but others in ways that no one deserved to ever go through. “Because I’m not letting you ruin what they have going on. You actually had a chance, back when she gave you that sweater. She was still in-love with you until-”
“The dinner.” 
Remus nodded and motioned for Peter to stand up. “I’m sorry.” He said before walking out the door with Peter in tow. 
James watched as his friends left the room. He didn’t even know he was crying until he had tasted the tears on his tongue  but just like his feelings, he realized a little too late. 
***
You walked right past him and onto the makeshift stage with the help of your husband-to-be, Sirius Black. Standing behind him was Remus, the best-man, who had a bright smile as he watched his two best-friends finally get married. 
James tried his best to be happy. He really did. But how was he supposed to be happy when he was attending the girl he’s been in-love with for years, especially when he wasn’t the one she was getting married to. Sure he was able to make amends with them but that was about it. He went back to being her friend when he could’ve been more. He was even given the chance at one point but he blew it. This is all my fault. He thought to himself as he watched the newly wedded Mr. and Mrs. Black walk back down the aisle as the guests threw petals in the air. 
The scene before him looked like an image straight out of a fairytale. James used to love hearing fairytales growing up but today he learned something about them; they aren’t real.

Helloooo~ can I request? If yes, here is my idea: Reader being super amazing at drawing and she secretly has a huge crush on Remus and as well has a sketchbook with tons of his portraits with cute words. James and Sirius discover that she looks at Remus and "write" on her notebook so decide to secretly take her "notes" and read them. Remus finds the two admiring/laughing at the sketchbook and take it from them while the readers is going crazy searching it. Full creativity to you for what happens next just make it floof cuz I need it haha. Love your writing ❤ and Have a wonderful day :3
OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS THANK U SO MUCH 🥺 also lmao this would so be me i already draw him n do lil poems for him even tho i’m awful at it
Artistic Love
It was another late night in the Gryffindor common room, students rushing in and out while some sat down and talked with their friends you, sirius, james and remus all sat next to the fireplace on the sofa, you had your sketchbook out, using your pencil to your crush, Remus Lupin, as he laughed with his best mates probably planning some pranks to do with them, you didn’t really pay attention you were more focused on capturing how beautiful this man was in your sketchbook, after a few hours you had finished and coincidentally Remus had to leave to get a game from their dorm room. Just as he left you thought of a few words to jot down next to the recent drawing, “your heart reminds me of a home i never had”.
Little did you know a certain Sirius Black kept sneaking glances at you, wondering what you had been doing for the past two hours, but you had your sketchbook hidden by your knees as you brought them close to you to hold your sketchbook on them, then Remus came back and you quickly shut it and put it down on the arm of the sofa next to you, “wanna play with us (Y/N)?” Remus asked when he noticed you had put what he assumed was homework away, you nodded with a smile, moving closer to Remus you all played a game of snap which resulted in James being told since he lost he would have to do the next prank by himself since it included going into the Slytherin dorms, after another hour went by the prefect came to the group and told them they had to go off to bed, Sirius sent a glance towards your black sketchbook while you were saying “well I guess I’ll go to bed then, goodnight idiots.” James noticed Sirius eyeing something, “mhm, we don’t have much choice but sure, good night (Y/n).” James said, Remus nodded and smiled at you, trying to look like he wasn’t crushing on you, but of course failing as the on coming blush appeared on his face. You walked up the stairs and made your way into your dorm room, you got ready to bed and fell asleep instantly.
Downstairs though James and Sirius stayed down there while Remus was back in their dorms, Sirius walked over to your sketchbook and started flicking through the pages, “Sirius, what are you doing? If you want to copy (Y/n)’s homework you could have just-“ “it’s not homework, idiot. Look...” Sirius pushed the book so James could see it, and there in pencil was an accurate sketch of Remus from that exact night smiling away. “.. it’s Remus? Why... Unless-“ James concluded locking eyes with Sirius, they both smirked at each other thinking the same thing, “She fancies him...” Sirius said confirming what they both thought, “it’s kind of cute but ew,” James replied while looking at the older sketches as Sirius continued looking through it.
“Wait till Moony finds out, he’s going to have a heart attack.” Sirius laughed, “what if we gave them the extra push? Like we hide the sketchbook until (y/n) admits their feelings and what’s really in here?” James wondered out loud making Sirius grin at the suggestion, “that, my friend could work, but we have to hide this though so Remus doesn’t find it.” Holding the sketchbook in his hand they book walked up the stairs to their shared dorm, when opening the door Remus was already ready for bed reading a book he glanced up when he realised they had come up, “took you long enough,” he sighed, putting his book on the side table Sirius walked to his bed, crouching down he began to take all the stuff out of the cupboard that each of them got, Remus now had seen the sketchbook asked both of them, “why are you stealing (Y/n)‘s homework for ? you guys can just copy from me you know...” He wondered making James shrug as he watched Sirius hide it, “(y/n)’s got better notes than you Moony, let’s be honest,” Remus gasped offended, “fine be like that, I won’t let you lot copy from me again then.” He said before turning over in bed and trying to fall asleep.
Sirius sent James a smirk, knowing what was about to happen the next day the boys quickly got ready for bed and joined Remus in dream land.
“WHERE IS IT?!?” The Mauraders heard as they came down the stairs, dressed and ready for the busy day ahead, they saw you throwing the cushions around the sofa and looking underneath it only to find Zonko’s sweet wrappers, Remus looked at Sirius and James with a raised eyebrow not forgetting that he saw them two with their book. “Give it back to her, please don’t be a pair of dicks.” He asked, making Sirius say, “I don’t know what you’re talking about mate, come on let’s help (Y/n).” Making their way over to you James spoke first, “what you lost (y/n)?” “My uh notebook, it had class notes in and stuff,” You replied anxiously, your eyes wondering all around the room in hope it would just appear. “oh yeah? what kind of notes?” Sirius asked with a small smirk on his face trying hard to hide it as he leaned against James. “y-you know, school stuff,” You started to blush as Remus began looking around, looking at the clock Sirius mentioned, “why don’t we look for it later? we’ll miss breakfast at this point and i don’t know about you lot but I’m craving some breaky right now.” James nodded along with him already waiting just near the portrait door for Remus.
Remus sighed as he looked at them, he looked back at (y/n), “we’ll look again later, we’ll either find it or you can have my notes.” He reassured making you nod and smile at him, “I have to keep looking but you guys go on and have some breakfast.” They all began walking out, leaving you alone with the scary thought that either someone would use the sketchbook as blackmail or would just straight up show Remus breaking the little bit of friendship you did share with him.
You looked for another two hours, then stopped knowing you’d be late for class if you didn’t, you walked solemnly to the lesson which was transfiguration, the boys had already sat down but Remus kept a spot empty next to him for you, “you find your notebook yet?” he asked, “nope.” You responded, you thought to yourself at least you know it either hasn’t been kidnapped or given to Remus yet.
After the class was over as you began to walk away Remus called for you, “I saved you some food, you know from breakfast,” he placed the food container his mum had given him in your hands that had a few slices of toast inside of it, somehow it still felt hot. “oh, thank you Remus, that’s really sweet of you.” You replied making Remus reach his hand up to his neck, the tell tale sign he was nervous, he nodded with a smile and began to walk away towards Sirius and James who were standing there smirking at the interaction. “You dog, you so like her!” James said with a laugh leaving him as he wrapped an arm around Remus’s shoulder. “No i don’t! It was a thoughtful thing to do, it’s not her fault you idiots probably lost her notebook.”
After classes were over the Sirius thought the plan needed an extra push so James distracted Remus while Sirius put the push in action, “You like Moony don’t you?” He asked making you freeze up, “n-no, why would you think that?” “well, a little birdie told me you draw him... A LOT.. you even write little almost like poetry beside said drawings.” “oh my god, Sirius who has it?? Tell me, please-“
“... James, he’s actually thinking of showing Remus it right now-“As soon as that nearly full sentence left Sirius’s mouth you ran up the dorm stairs, as you had seen James take Remus back to their dorm room you were ready to kill him for this. Opening the door you saw what you thought was James holding open your sketchbook to Remus, “IT’s NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!” You shouted, the blush on your face deepening at what Remus probably thought of you now.
“what is it then, (y/n)??” James, asked closing the book and waiting for your answer, “I drew Remus because I just thought he is aesthetically pleasing to my artistic senses, there, not that i’m in love with him.” You said in a normal tone, thinking you had tricked them all, but you did not.
“... you drew me?” Remus asked in a whisper, James brought the book he was showing Remus to you, inside it was just school notes, it wasn’t your sketchbook at all. You gulped, trying to think of how you were going to get out of this one. “y-yeah... it’s not weird though, right?” You asked nervously, James sighed loudly, putting the book down he walked over to Sirius’s cup board and got your actual sketchbook out. “For Godricks sake! Just look and see, you both fancy each other and kiss, it’s not that hard you know.” He passed the sketchbook to Remus who opened it to just the first page and looked at the drawing of him, his eyes reading the words “If you’re a monster then why am I so in love with you?” He kept replaying those words in his mind, James decided his job was done and left, joining Sirius downstairs.
“So... you like me?” Remus asked, sitting the sketchbook down so you could see it too, you walked closer to him, nodding sadly knowing he was either going to be mad at you or stop being friends all together. “I’m not mad or anything, honest, I just... I guess I do fancy you.” He added, making you look at him now slightly hopeful, he smiled at you before looking back down at the page, “‘If you’re a monster then why am I so in love with you?’ No ones ever, said anything like that to me before, but it makes my stomach feel like it’s got a thousand snitches inside of it,” He laughed slightly making you laugh with him, you sat down in front of him on his bed when he made room. “You really like me? you’re not just saying that so this isn’t embarrassing or anything right?” You asked suspiciously, Remus responded with “Mhmmm I don’t know, let’s see.” He brought his lips to yours, making you gasp in shock, he took that as his opportunity, and pushed his tongue into your mouth, going from 1-1000 VERY quickly, you both sighed into the kiss as his hands held your face into place your hands moved to his neck, playing with the ends of his hair as best as you could, until all of a sudden Remus pulled away, panting out of breath he nodded and almost giggled as he said “yep, I guess I really really do fancy you.” he leaned over again to press a kiss to your forehead.

Hello Lovelies! I know I have been kind of MIA recently other than responding to asks, but I hit this pretty fantastic milestone of 1.3k followers and have been wanting to do a writing challenge for some time! (I’ve had my prompts written for about a month, but I wanted to post it when I was getting less busy) 
I cannot thank you all enough for the continued support and love on here. I appreciate every single one of you <3 I hope to get back into writing soon, but until then, I think I can fill myself with reading for submissions to my writing challenge! 
With the holidays coming up and my love for the Christmas season, I’m giving my challenge that type of theme, but do not feel obligated to use a holiday theme for your writing :)
So let’s get to it! 
RULES: 
When you finish, please tag me [ @kalimagik ] and tag #maggieswinterwritingchallenge
Please reblog to increase its reach and participation
If you write more that 1k, please use the “Read More” or “Keep Reading” function
The Usual: Two prompts per person and no more than 2 people per prompt! 
For Tropes and Winter Holiday Scenarios, no more than two people for those either and try to only take one if you use them (You can do this in addition to prompts if you’d like!) - Of course, you can utilize a trope in your work even if you don’t claim it, I don’t mind! 
Send me an ask with your chosen prompts, scenarios, or tropes, as well as the character you wish to use. 
Can be Character X Reader or Character x Character - it doesn’t matter 
I primarily write for the Harry Potter fandom, but if you would like to write for Marvel or ATLA or LOK, I will most likely read those because I’m obsessed with both of those universes as well! 
If you would like to choose a Winter Holiday Scenario, but do not see a tradition or holiday that you celebrate, please let me know and I will add it! I would love to see everyone’s traditions, but I do not know all of them, so please share them with us all <3
NO SMUT PLEASE! I just haven’t been in much of a smut mood, so I would like to keep this happy and for everyone!

Beauty Unrivaled by Aphrodite Herself (Remus Lupin x reader)
Hey guys! Here’s a Remus one shot! A bit of a warning!: there are mentions of self deprication and not being happy with the way one looks. If this is a trigger to you, proceed with caution or maybe just skip this one all together.
As always, enjoy!
Warnings: self deprication and issues with ones physical appearance.
This is not my gif! Please refer to the link under the gif to give credit to the creator!!
Tumblr media
September 1976 began Y/N’s sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was joined by Mary McDonald, Marlene McKinnon and Lily Evans on the train to Hogwarts. She’d been good friends with the trio since their third year and they’ve become undeniably close despite the fact that Y/N was a Hufflepuff.
“How were your summers?” Asked Lily excitedly. Marlene told them about her summer and how she had met the nicest muggle girl and how they hit it off really well. Mary told them about her visits with her family, and Lily told them about her trip to Italy.
“It was so beautiful!” She finished, sinking into her seat. “What about you, Y/N, what’d you do this summer?”
“Oh nothing out of the ordinary.” She said, unfortunately, she didn’t have a great summer. Not at all really. But she didn’t say that. She just talked about the books she read and visiting her family. Besides that, she remained silent.
The summer brought changes for all of them, but Y/N found herself uncomfortable with these changes. In the simplest terms: becoming a woman raised some insecurities. It didn’t help that her friends looked like goddesses. She kept those thoughts to herself. However, that didn’t go unnoticed by her friends.
“Remus.” Mary whispered at lunch a week after. She had noticed that Y/N was still off. Her and her roommates were worried for their friend and they decided to let Remus know. Remus and Y/N were in a long term relationship after all.
“Mary why are you whispering it’s lunch no one’s going to yell at you for talking.” He said, laughing a bit.
“Remus, come on this is serious. There’s something up with Y/N. She’s been really quiet and she’s been eating less than normal. Marlene, Lily, and I are really worried about her.” Mary said. Remus’ eyebrows furrowed.
“How long has this been going on?” He asked, worried.
“Since the beginning of the year.”
“I’ll talk to her, Mary don’t worry.”
-
“Good evening, darling.” Remus greeted Y/N with a kiss, sitting next to her on the big comfy couch in the corner of the Gryffindor common room.
“Good evening Rem.” She said, smiling. He thought her smile was amazingly radiant.
“So I was talking to Mary, and she uh she told me that she thought that you were acting a bit strange. She said you were quieter and that you’ve been eating less than normal. I haven’t been seeing you at breakfast and I miss our conversations with the rest of the boys.” As he said this, Remus noticed how his girlfriend shrunk into herself and further into her seat. She avoided his gaze as well.
“Love, I don’t mean to make you uncomfortable. I’m just worried. You haven’t said anything to me about anything being wrong, but...” he trailed off. The two sat in silence for what felt like a millennium then, Y/N spoke up.
“Over the summer something’s... changed.” She said, her voice just above a whisper. Remus would be lying if he said he hadn’t noticed how she was softer around the edges, she’s just gotten even more gorgeous. Unfortunately, she didn’t feel the same way about it. “I didn’t think much of it but when I got on the train with the girls, I just ugh, I felt gross. They’re all so perfect. Flawless.”
“But so are yo-“ Remus started.
“Remus, stop. My thighs are too thick; I had to buy all new jeans. My arms are pudgy with no muscle. There’s too much fat on my face, my eyes are a gross dull brown- my hair is the exact same way, ugh!- and my stomach sticks out so much I look about four or five months pregnant!” At this point her voice was thick with tears. Remus’ jaw dropped. He just pulled her into his chest and rocked her back and fourth. How could she think that? She was gorgeous.
As Remus whispered sweet nothings and reassurances into her ear, he made a plan. A plan that he hoped to god would help her realize just how imperfectly perfect she was.
-
After her conversation with Remus, Y/N felt a bit better. Maybe not 100% back to normal, but in a way, she was glad to know that Remus knew about her insecurities. She had someone to talk to about it.
Now it was midday and Y/N had a free period. It was just cool enough to make sitting out by the black lake unbearable, so she opted for journeying to the library instead. Once she sat at her usual desk, she pulled out her books and got to work.
She was halfway through a fourteen inch potions essay when a small piece of paper fluttered her way. Upon further inspection, she saw that it was a little paper bird. It landed on the desk in front of her, emitted a small tweet, and sat down, becoming inanimate once again.
Y/N looked from side to side to see if she could find the sender, but she failed to see anyone else in the area. Letting her curiosity get the best of her, she picked up the little bird and unfolded it.
“Looking into your eyes is like gazing through a glass of honey on a gorgeous summer evening.”
Now, to everyone else, that would sound like a ridiculous compliment to give anyone, really. However, in Y/N’s relationship with Remus, honey was a main component. Y/N loved putting honey in her tea, and without a doubt, every morning, when Remus gave her a good morning kiss, he would say how sweet her lips were. It was a small moment they shared in the mornings and she found it endearing. 
Y/N pack up her bags and practically sprinted back to the Gryffindor common room, looking for Remus. At this time on a Wednesday afternoon, Remus could be found lounging on his bed, moments away from sleep. Greeting Sirius and Peter, she made her way up to the boy’s dorm and snuck into the room. 
“Rem? Love?” She said, careful not to startle him. Remus peaked his head up from the mess of pillows on his bed. Upon seeing his girlfriend, his face broke out into a smile.
“I take it the little birdie reached you?” He asked.
“You’d be correct.” She took off her shoes and laid down her bag next to them and made her way over to Remus’ bed. 
“I hope you liked it. I was gonna write something stupid about like, sun through a whiskey jar, but Sirius knocked some sense into me.” She sat on the bed next to him and propped her feet up. Remus was not satisfied with her actions, and pulled her down so that she was laying next to him and he could see her face. 
“I would have loved it either way.” She brushed a piece of hair out of her face. Then there was silence. The two just laid there in the comfort of each other’s warmth and basked in the late afternoon sun. They laid there for a few minutes before Remus spoke once again. 
“You know, your beauty is unrivaled by Aphrodite herself, Y/N.” 
“Careful now, Lupin, we don’t want any wars on our hands.” she joked. 
“I’m serious, though.” He said. “You have the beauty of one thousand goddesses and I’m lucky enough to have you in my arms, hell, in my bed.” She laughed and patted his arm. Oh how she loved him.

As Elara sat alone in the compartment at the end of the Hogwarts Express, she daydreamed about what it would be like to find love. The ridiculousness of it all, the perfect fairy tale, love straight from the pages of a book. Something unexpected, something amazing, something that completely overtook her.
She heard the door to her compartment slide open, and in walked two girls in her year, who she recognized as Alice Fortescue and Marlene McKinnon.
"Hey, all the other compartments are full do you mind if we sit here?" Said the blonde
"Yes of course." was all Elara could muster out. Truth be told she knew that if Alice and Marlene were here Lily Evans would soon follow, and where there was Lily, James Potter would follow with his insistent flirting. Elara found it quite annoying and wondered why he would never leave Lily alone.
"You're Elara, right? I'm Alice and this is Marlene."
"Yeah, I've seen you guys around a few times." Elara honestly had no clue what to say, she had never been good at keeping conversations. She always tended to cower away from small talk with people she didn't know.
As time passed the girls got over exchanging awkward meaningless sentences. They talked and somewhat got to know each other. Marlene was quite bold, with no filter and Elara loved that, Alice was somewhat shy but could be sarcastic when she pleased.
Elara was already beginning to come out of her comfort zone and she loved it, she liked the girls and how they gave her a little push in her confidence after only talking to them for an hour, Elara felt confident, a new feeling for her but she loved it.
Lily Evans soon joined the girls in their compartment. Lily and Elara began to bond over their love for books and knowledge. Marlene groaned as the two started discussing potions theories, it was quite funny.
The four girls were laughing wildly as James Potter made his way into the compartment and leaned himself up against the door staring at Lily.
"A little birdy told me that Lily Evans is a Gryffindor prefect" James smirks at Lily.
"Yes, and what is it to you James, afraid now that I can get you into trouble because of your ridiculous pranks?" Lily retorted as she looked James directly in the eye with a challenging glare.
"Does this mean you're going to talk to me more Evans?" James said chuckling.
" Why would I want to talk to an arrogant toerag like you unless it is to put you in your place?" She said crossing her arms over her chest.
Her comment made James blush with slight embarrassment.
Before either of them could get a word in, Elara was overwhelmed with the scent of sweet chocolate as Remus Lupin waltzed into the compartment, grabbing James' arm lightly as an attempt to usher him out.
"Sorry, he's bothering you again Lily" Remus said while rolling his eyes at James' antics.
"Hey, I'm not bothering her Remus. She loves our little conversations, don't you Lily?" he said with pleading eyes directed towards Lily.
"In your dreams Potter" Lily said, glaring at the pleading boy.
The three other girls chuckled. James and Lily's arguments reminded Elara of an old married couple the way they'd get annoyed over the smallest thing over and over again.
Remus let out a loud sigh, smacking James on the head lightly while muttering something about him being extremely rude and desperate.
Remus gave one last look and the four giggling girls before dragging James out, except this time something caught his eye or rather someone, Elara Hawthorne.
The way her eyes seemed to melt into a pool of honey when they met the rays of sunlight flickered through the compartment. Why hasn't he noticed her before? Could he really be that obvious, he thought.
He didn't notice he'd been staring until his eyes met hers and his heart began to beat rapidly in his chest, Remus was sure someone could hear. He forcefully tore his gaze away from her as he and James left the compartment.
Elara Hawthorne would now have a place in his mind for the rest of the train ride. Remus was silent as the two boys returned to their compartment. Remus had then decided that he had to know her. He had to befriend the beautiful creature that had stolen his gaze.

Black and White (Part XIX)
Part I | Part II | Part III | Part IV | Part V | Part VI | Part VII | Part VIII | Part IX | Part X | Part XI | Part XII | Part XIII | Part XIV | Part XV | Part XVI | Part XVII | Part XVIII | Part XIX | Part XX | Part XXI
((Author’s Note: I AM SO SORRY THAT THIS TOOK SO LONG!! I hope the chapter makes up for the fact that it took such a long time to write/post it! I hope you guys like it!!))
Remus walked into Black and White carrying two coffee cups from work, his knuckles turning white from the tightness of his grip. He was terrified, to say the least. This would be his first time seeing Sirius since their evening at the cafe, and Remus wasn't entirely sure if his presence was desired.
"Uh… Sirius? M— Mr. Black? Are… are you here?"
Of course he was there. Sirius ran the gallery himself. If he wasn't there, the door wouldn't be unlocked. Remus felt stupid asking his question aloud, but the response he got put him at ease.
"Yeah, I'm here, Remus. I'll be right out."
Remus.
So they were still on a first name basis. That was a good sign. 
It took a moment, but Sirius eventually emerged from his back office, looking rather worse for wear. His hair was left loose around his shoulders, dark inky tresses spilling over his unbuttoned collar. He looked tired; more tired than Remus felt. More tired than he had ever looked before.
"I… uh… I brought coffee…"
"What are you doing here, Remus?"
The tone of Sirius' voice didn't sound harsh or accusatory; it was filled with exhaustion and melancholy, but it wasn't rude, which was a surprise.
"Oh…" Remus glanced down at the paper cups in his hands, as if his reason for being at the gallery was obvious. "I… brought coffee," he repeated. "Cappuccino, skim milk, sprinkle of cinnamon?"
Remus watched as a slow smile bloomed across Sirius' face, lighting him up, finally revealing a hint of the gallery owner that Remus had come to know the past few weeks. Sirius walked towards Remus, straightening his posture and brushing hair out of his eyes.
"How'd you know?"
Remus shrugged, offering Sirius a friendly grin.
"A little birdy told me."
Sirius rolled his eyes and graciously accepted Remus' peace offering. The artist watched as Sirius' shoulders visibly relaxed with the first sip of coffee, a hint of colour returning to his sallow cheeks. Sirius turned his gaze towards a painting on the wall, both hands grasping the cup, as if to absorb its warmth and energy. 
"Well… remind me to thank her later."
"I'm fairly certain I brought the coffee here," Remus said, mostly joking. He took a sip from his own cup of tea, letting the spicy warmth from the chai trickle down and heat him up from the inside.
Sirius remained focused on the painting before him.
"Thank you, Remus. Not… not just for the coffee… but for coming. Here. I… appreciate it."
"Okay, who are you and what have you done with Sirius Black?" Remus teased, attempting to lighten the sudden weight of the situation, trying to deter the looming darkness that threatened its way into their thoughts. 
Sirius didn't answer for a moment. He stood and stared at the painting, one of Lily's pieces by the looks of it, before finally giving Remus a response.
"This… this is the real Sirius Black."
Remus tore his eyes away from mercurial pools of despair, so deep and turbulent, the artist could drown in them if he wasn't careful. He directed his attention to the same painting, the same blues and greys of Sirius' eyes popping out from the canvas. 
"Well…" Remus muttered to the painting, twisting his cup around between his fingers. "Hello Sirius Black. I'm— I'm Remus Lupin."
Remus heard a sharp exhale of breath beside him— almost a laugh, but not quite. At least he could help bring some levity into their conversation.
"So…" Sirius began, before taking another sip of coffee. "How much did she tell you?"
Remus pondered the question, trying to find an appropriate way of answering it.
"She… uh… mentioned your brother. And… and you and James. She explained why you left the cafe the other day, why you seemed so upset…"
Sirius closed his eyes and furrowed his brow. When he opened them, there was a hint of pain still etched into his features. 
"And where does that leave us?"
Remus turned to look at Sirius, unsure what exactly the man was asking him.
"Wh— what do you mean?"
"Are you… still interested in showing here? Did you still want to… to work with me?"
"Of course." Remus' response was immediate. There was no question in his mind: Black and White was the gallery that Remus wanted his first show to be in. He wanted Sirius to run it, curate it, put the event together. He wanted Lily and James to be there. This was the gallery for him. "Why wouldn't I?"
Sirius' eyes drifted down to his coffee cup, his shoulders folding in on themselves ever so slightly. 
"You're not worried that the erratic drunk is going to ruin things for you? Cause you too much trouble?"
"I— what?" Remus took a step towards Sirius; he considered reaching out, taking hold of the man, showing a sign of affection, but he thought better of it. Instead, he simply looked at Sirius, his voice measured, his posture firm. "None of those thoughts ever crossed my mind. I— I want to show here because you're passionate. You have drive. You're confident… you're— you're a good gallerist."
You're annoying as all hell, but you know what you want from life and you aren't afraid to go for it. Someone like me could learn a lot from someone like you. You're fascinating. An enigma. And I need to figure you out…
"And you push me to do better. I'm producing better art now than I ever have before. You have a keen eye and you give good direction."
Remus waited for Sirius to respond, but the man simply stared ahead at the painting before him. The silence loomed over them as Remus watched the ghost of the man he thought he knew slowly fading into nothingness. 
It was a few minutes before Sirius eventually spoke, his voice echoing eerily across the empty gallery.
"You don't have to lie to me to make me feel better."
His words were soaked in bitterness, his expression crestfallen. He never once tore his gaze away from the painting.
Remus took a gulp of tea, weighing his next words very carefully.
"I don't lie." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before continuing. "You don't know me very well yet, but that's something you should remember for the future. I don't lie." Another pause, another sip of tea. "I had enough of that growing up, I don't need it in my life."
The slightest hint of a smile passed over Sirius' face.
"You also had a shitty family?
"I'm an artist," Remus mused with a dark chuckle, "Do you know any that don't?"
Sirius' smile grew as he rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, one or two. But you make a valid point."
Remus brought his cup to his lips and tilted it back, draining the remaining contents and deliberating his words. 
"So…" he began after a moment. "Where do we go from here?"
For the first time since the conversation started, Sirius shifted his focus, his eyes settling on Remus' frame silhouetted in the fading evening light. 
"Where do you want it to go?"
Remus closed his eyes and pretended to take a sip from his drink, despite the fact that it was now empty. He needed time to think. Was Sirius talking about the gallery? Was Sirius asking about Remus' desire to show his art and work together in a professional setting? Or did the question go deeper than that?
Where did Remus want things to go?
"I…" Remus opened his eyes. He stared at Lily's painting, pretending not to see the way Sirius' gaze bore into him, pretending not to think about the swirling blues and greys, the perfection of colour, they way they shifted with each emotion. "I want to make sure that our show next month is your best one yet."
"Well then…" Sirius said softly, his voice relaxing, his tone sounding more and more familiar to Remus. "We'd better get to work. There's only a few weeks left…"
Remus turned to look at Sirius and felt his cheeks flush at the smile playing on the gallery owner's lips. The artist quickly looked down at the paper cup twisting between his fingers, trying not to read into the situation any more than necessary. 
"I'd better get home then…" Remus told his cup, trying to keep his voice steady and desperately willing his cheeks to stop feeling so warm. "I still have two more pieces to paint…"
"Yes, well…" Sirius muttered. From the corner of his eye, Remus could see the gallery owner shifting his weight from foot to foot. "I'll be in touch. I'd love to see your progress if— if that's okay…?"
Since when did Sirius ask for things instead of demanding them?
"Sure, yeah… that sounds… good. I'll… see you around, Sirius."
Remus glanced up and smiled, immediately regretting his decision. The look on Sirius' face was tender, affectionate. Somehow, he looked even more handsome like this. Remus hated it. 
The artist shoved his hand forward, offering it for a shake. Sirius hesitated before reaching out and grasping Remus' hand firmly. The two men had shaken hands a dozen times at this point; there was something frustratingly different about this one, and it lingered a beat too long.
Remus pulled his hand away and spun on his heels before Sirius could stop him. 
"I'll see you around, Sirius!" He called over his shoulder before making a beeline to the door. 
"Oh… okay… T— Thank you, Remus. For… for everything!"
Before he knew what was happening, Remus was outside in the crisp autumn air, trying not to think about the way Sirius' perfect lips wrapped so delicately around his name or how badly Remus wanted to find out what those lips tasted like. 
What was wrong with him?
((Bonus: Here’s a sketch that I did in a limited palette of this scene. Yes, I know there are inaccuracies, it was a quick sketch and I didn’t read the chapter before drawing it. Oops! Anyway, here it is!))

Let’s jump right in, my little birdies because I’ve got plenty of news for all of you. I’ve sure by now you’ve heard about mousy, unfashionably and all too nice, Mary MacDonald being attacked at the Gryffindor Halloween party. Rumor is that she was attacked for being a muggleborn in the name of the Dark Lord. I cannot confirm these rumors because nobody can be held accountable for their actions after seeing Mary’s numerous fashion faux pas. White after labor day? Denim on denim? Mary, I hope you’ve learned your lesson.
I don’t even know if I can finish this article I’m so dismayed just thinking about Mary’s fashion choices but for you loyal readers, I will carry on. Love is in the air, my little birdies and it appears that our favorite trainwrecks are starting to partner up. There is nothing I like more then sixteen year olds with raging hormones and a new set of tits. Still waiting for mine, puberty.
Since we’re now all thinking about tits, shout out to frumpy butch turned hot girl, Indigo King for actually trying to be somewhat attractive.  It’s obviously working since Remus “I never want to have sex with a girl ever” Lupin asked her out on a date. Although I heard he friend-zoned her at the first possible chance he got. “A friendly date” is not a date and if you finally want to pop your cherry, Lupin, you’re going to have to make some sort of attempt to woo a girl.
That being said, Indigo showed up at the Halloween party wearing a Marilyn Monroe dress and a mustache and bowler hat. It’s like everyone at this school is trying to stay a virgin.
Henry Davies asked out token ginger, Lily Evans out on a date and accompanied her to the sub-par party. I think it’s sweet and all that Henry Davies is using his community service hours to take Evans on a date but I feel he could find a better use for his time, like doing me. 
It doesn’t matter though, because I’ve been told by a very reliable source that Lily Evans and James Potter finally had that moment that he’s been dreaming of. I’m sure he’ll be writing about in his journal for months to come. Poor Dorcas Meadowes, she’ll always be number two on James Potter’s dance card. That’s okay, she can always keep trying to fuck her way to James’ heart. Three times in one afternoon? She’ll either prove her worth or end up pregnant. Either way, she wins, right?
I’ve learned over the past few days that our prettiest trio does not abide by the golden rule. “Chicks before dicks.” Not only do we have Lily Evans throwing herself at James Potter despite one of her best friends dating him. We’ve got Marlene McKinnon going out with Henry Davies during school hours like the harlot she is. Remember Marlene, only prostitutes have two glasses of wine at lunch. Poor Caradoc “CJ” Dearborn, McKinnon had barely snapped his heart in half before running off with another man.
That’s alright, Caradoc’s life wasn’t completely sad. At least he had a date to the dance with Katherine Diggory. Although, she seemed a bit upset. Thinking maybe he couldn’t get it up?
Speaking of sad sex, Emmeline Vance and Sirius Black seem to be getting all hot and heavy. I’m just glad Black threw Vance a bone, we were all getting exhausted of this place reeking of desperation and Emmeline Vance trying way too hard. I think she has some major daddy issues if you ask me.
Although just a fair warning, Emmeline, make sure to keep an eye on Sirius Black. Lest Marlene come in and snatch him up. We all know they had a sexy little rendezvous in the lake house in the beginning of the school year and if there is one concept that is foreign to Marlene, it’s girl code. The last thing we need is you running off to your muggle brother. We almost forgot who you were again.
One family that we will never forget, the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black. AKA my favorite inbred family. They’ve been a bit boring as of late. Probably because all they talk about is being pureblood and marrying their cousins. Bellatrix Black has been MIA these past few days and I’ve got my hardest working reporters on the case. Fingers crossed she’s dating a female on the down-low. We need a good lesbian romance now that Emmeline Vance is using Sirius Black as her beard. 
Narcissa Black is still gorgeous. How are your pores so small, girl? Still boring. Although without her, Rodolphus Lestrange would still be passed out at the shrieking shack with his face pounded in. Shout out to James Potter for finally doing what we’ve all been wanting to do for years now. Such a good, loyal solider. Hopefully Lucius Malfoy can fix Lestrange’s pretty face. It’d be a shame if he was the only pretty Slytherin left after this. Or maybe that was his plan the whole time? Genius.
Thank god we have middle sister, Andromeda Black to keep things spicy. Rumor has it that Cillian Nott has approached his mother about courting Andromeda. Now that Andromeda and Bellatrix are in their seventh year, wedding bells are on the horizon. I hope it’s a fall wedding. I just love fall weddings.
As if engagements and weddings aren’t sexy enough, I’ve heard quite a few buzzings about Andromeda Black and everyone’s favorite Puffer (Sorry CJ) Ted Tonks. Now I cannot confirm these sightings but supposedly they’ve been getting very, very cozy. If there is anything I love more then weddings, it would have to be secret love affairs. Well, it’s not really a secret anymore, is it?
Oops.
For those who wish to help Mary MacDonald, I am taking a collection for fashion victims and those effected by their actions. 100% of all proceeds will go to Mary MacDonald and her sorely lacking closet.

The Best We’ve Ever Had///Professor!Remus Lupin x Reader
Tumblr media
Request: Could you do something where their a student at Hogwarts and have somehow gotten two detentions at the same time? Instead of going to either they just hide in a classroom panicking until Remus or Dumbledore comes along and cheers them up. Pssst.. I love your blog. Great writing!
A/N: Hello! Pssst...thank you. I have been having the best time writing these types of fanfics lately so thanks for the request. Requests are always open guys. Enjoy!
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    You’re luck was incredibly unfortunate. Of all the crappy situations you could have been in this was absolutely the worst. 
     Before class that day Fred and George cornered you in the hall. 
    “Hello,”the one you thought was Fred said. 
    “Hey,” the other one said.
    “Hi,”you replied. 
    “We heard you’ve been having some problems at school.”
    “A little birdie told us. Some problems with anxiety.”
    “Especially in Potions.”
    “We get it, Snape’s kind of an arse.”
     “Anywho, we’ve got a little something for you.” George pulled out a piece of pink and orange candy and waved it in front of your face. Your eyes fixed on it. 
    “That is a puking pastille, eat it and you’ll be vomiting almost immediately,” Fred explained.
     “Now, we usually wouldn't usually just be giving away things-”
     “However, we like you, you seem nice enough-”
     “And there’s also the fact that we need to start trying out our merchandise.”
    “But we also like you.”
    “Yeah, sure.” 
    “So?” He held the candy out to you. You stared at it for a moment. 
    What they were saying was true? How they had found out was a complete mystery. One of your friends must have blabbed to them. Lately, going to class seemed to only make you more anxious. You would’ve given anything to take a break but you didn’t know if you were exactly up for breaking rules. 
    You looked up at the boys. They had that same mischievous smile they always had that told you they were up to no good. Despite that you grabbed the candy. You gave them a quick thanks and walked away. At this rate you would barely make it to Potions on time. 
    You walked quickly. You stared at the candy in your hand distractedly not looking at where you were going. Something caught your foot and you fell to the ground. Your hand clenched around the candy so that it wouldn’t fall. 
    When you looked up you realized you had tripped over Mrs. Norris. You were just about to curse at the cat but someone cleared their throat behind you. You spun around and saw Filch staring at you. 
    “Fil-” you stopped. “I mean, Mr. Filch.”
   “You need to watch where your going. What’s got you so distracted?” Instinctively your eyes darted to your hand. Filch followed you gaze. “What’s in your hand?”
    “It’s nothing.” You stood up and tried to leave but he blocked your path. 
    “Come on let’s see it.” When he saw you hesitate he became angry. 
    “Now,”he barked. You opened your hand and he grabbed the candy. He held it up to his eye and inspected it. 
   “Ahh, I’ve seen these before. One of those candies the Weasley boys make.” He scowled at the mention of the twins. “You’re in a lot of trouble, young lady. Detention. This Friday starting at 6.” You groaned. He looked proud of himself. 
    “Now off to class with you, you’re late.” 
    Your eyes widened, you hadn’t even thought about being late to Potions. Once you were out of his view you sprinted. When you arrived, you threw the door open. You were panting from exhaustion and everyone turned towards you. Snape looked like he was in the middle of a lecture.
    “Mrs. (Y/L/N), nice of you to join us.” 
    “Professor, I-”
    “Silence! You waste my time not being here, I won't have you further waste it with your excuses. In fact, I think I’ll take some of your time. You will serve detention with me. Friday at 6.” Of all of the times he could’ve picked he had to pick the exact same time as Filch. 
    “But, sir-”
    “Take your seat now or else.” You wanted to protest but you knew it would only make your punishment worse.
    When the class finally ended you approached Snape. 
    “Professor, I’d like to talk to you about my detention.” Snape turned towards you with a grimace. 
    “There is nothing to talk about, leave my classroom.” You thought it best to leave but you were rooted at the spot. 
    “Actually, sir, I have another detention. It’s that night, at the exact same time with Filch. I can’t be expected to be in two places at once.” He looked at you like you were a complete idiot. 
    “Well, I guess you’ll figure something out.”
    “Sir-”
    “Get out of my classroom now,”he hissed. 
     As the week wound on you became increasingly nervous about your detentions. Only one of your teachers took notice to this. Professor Lupin had noticed a decline in your mood. He asked you what was wrong multiple times but you didn’t feel like sharing. You saw no point in it. Neither of the men were willing to change the time or work anything out with you and both had promised that if you didn’t show up there would be serious consequences. There was no way out of this predicament.
    When Friday finally arrived you made your way out of your dorm. You were shaking from nerves but you still continued. You hadn’t really thought of what you were going but you continued. You didn’t know which detention you would serve but either way you were completely screwed. 
    A couple steps out of your dorm and you felt the wight of everything crashing down on you. You couldn’t do this. You ran into the nearest empty classroom and closed the door behind you. Your knees gave out just in time and you crashed to the floor. That’s when you started to cry. 
    You heard the door open and your eyes followed the source of the sound. Standing in the doorway was Professor Lupin. He was frowning. 
    “(Y/N)...”
    “Sorry professor, I was just about to go I just...” You couldn’t continue as you began to cry harder. Lupin came closer to you. He kneel beside you. 
    “Calm down, take a deep breath. In and out, in and out.” He repeated his instruction over and over again. He rubbed up and down your back switching directions with each breath you took. 
     When you finally had your breathing under control he said,” Now tell me what’s happened.” 
     You explained to him your situation. He listened very closely and nodded along. When you were finished he was completely quiet. He took the hand that wasn't on your back and put it in his pocket, rummaging around a bit. Finally, he pulled out a full-sized chocolate bar. He handed it to you. You looked p at him in surprise and he gave you a reassuring smile. 
    “Eat, it’ll help.” You opened the candy bar and took a bite. It was absolutely delicious. Lupin got to his feet and helped you up. 
    “Let’s go.” You didn’t ask where he was taking you, you just ate your chocolate and followed him. Soon the location he was going became apparent. You thought this was a horrible idea but you followed anyways. 
    Without knocking Lupin entered Snape’s office. Snape was sat behind his desk, grading papers. When the two of you entered he looked surprised but when his eyes fixed on you he became angry. 
    “Look who’s finally arrived. Did you really need someone to escort you here?” You moved behind Lupin and hoped you were completely out of view.  
    “She didn't need an escort, I brought her here to tell you that she would not be serving your detention or Filch’s for that matter.” Snape's eyebrow drew up. 
    “Oh, is that so? I know you don't know much about how things run around here Lupin but teacher’s do not interfere with the way other teachers discipline their students. We also don't particularly put up with favourites.”
    “Maybe I don't know how things work around here but I do know how people should be treated. I know you are aware of Mrs. (Y/L/N)’s circumstances yet you still refuse to be rational and fair. She is clearly under a great amount of stress, most of which is brought on unnecessarily by you. If you have a problem then you should find other outlets to let them out instead of bullying children. At least that’s how things work here, in the adult world.” 
   Snape looked at a loss for words. His mouth hung open. He closed his mouth and he looked about ready to punch Lupin. 
    “How dare you?”
   “From this point on I would be very careful about how you treat your students because if I here word of you mistreating any other teachers it will be taken straight to Dumbledore.” Snape looked like he was gonna hex him but he didn’t do anything. “Now, if that’s all we’ll be on our way.” 
    Lupin turned to exit the classroom and you followed suit. When you were far enough away from the dungeons he stopped. 
   “So that was that. I’ll talk to Filch as soon as I find him. You can go back to your dorm.” You hesitated for a moment before going in for a hug. He seemed surprised but soon enough he had his arms wrapped around you. He was warm and you were certain you were safe. 
   “Thank you, professor.” Your voice was slightly muffled but he heard you. You backed away and saw that he was smiling. A wonderful smile that reminded you that there was someone at this school who was in your corner. You returned his smile and turned to leave. 
   “Enjoy the chocolate,” he called after you.

Despite it being early May in England, the forest was cold as Harry walked through the forest. Dried tear stained his cheeks as he tried his best to not think of you; his sister who he had just lost a few minutes prior. 
You were the only piece of family he had and now, you were gone. Ever since he could remember you were always by his side. Whether it be the Dursley’s or Malfoy or the Death Eaters, you were always by his side but now, you were gone. A part of him blamed himself for it, had he not become the Chosen One than you wouldn’t have had to die. Neither of you would have to die. 
When he reached a clearing in the middle of the forest, he pulled out the Golden Snitch from his pocket. I open at the close the inscription read. When the snitch opened, a stone to fell into his palm. It was a small black stone cut into the shape of a diamond. Holding it in his palm, he closed his eyes and as he held it tightly in his palm. 
“Deep breaths Harry.” He could hear you telling him only, it seemed real. Too real. 
He opened his eyes and saw five people who were previously not there, now standing in-front of him. You were standing beside him, the two of you facing your mother who had her hand extended for him. Your father, godfather and Remus stood on either side of her. 
“She’s really nice.” You whispered in his ear, referring to your mother. Harry smiled at your attempt of lightning the mood before heading towards your mother only to be disappointed when he couldn’t grab her hand. 
“You’ve both been so brave.” She said and Harry looked back to his side to see you still standing beside him. 
“Why are you here? All of you.” Harry asked. 
“We never left.” Was her reply. 
Having so many questions, Harry went around asking Remus and Sirius different questions. Questions about dying, about Teddy’s future, who was still a  child yet lost both parents and was now about to lose his godfather. When he was done asking the adults, he turned back to you. 
You looked just the same as when you had died, minus the blood and all of course. He almost forgot that you weren’t physically there with him until he tried to pull you into a hug only for his hand to go through you as if you were made of air. 
“I’m sorry.” He told you. 
The memory was still fresh in his mind. You were trying to guide a group of second years down to the Dungeons where the older Slytherins were protecting them. Just as you neared the staircase, a green light found its way towards you. Harry had watched from afar as your body fell to the ground and two older students had to drag the kids towards the Dungeons. 
“I’m so sorry.” He repeated. Tears brimming his eyes as he tried his best not to cry. 
“Did they make it?” You asked and Harry nodded. You gave him a sad smile and tried to place a hand on his shoulder.
That was all you needed to know to be at ease. They were far too young to have been going through such a horrible fight. You wondered how they even managed to stay behind after McGonagall had rounded them all up to Hogsmeade with Madame Pomfrey. Apparently she missed a few.
“We’ll be with you.” You told him.
“All of you?” Harry asked.
“Until the very end.” Your father replied and with the best of abilities, Harry smiled.
Walking to the place he knew he would be killed at, he felt some comfort knowing that he wasn’t alone. His parents were in front of him with his godfather and Remus behind him, keeping the dementors at bay. Beside him was you, the only piece of family he’s had known growing up. 
When the Dark Lord started entering his range of view he let go of the stone. He’d be reunited with his family soon anyways and it’d be better if the resurrection stone wasn’t in anyone’s possession after this was over.
“The boy who lived, come to die?”
Harry felt a shiver run down his spine. He swallowed the lump in his throat and closed his eyes as he imagined your touch on his shoulder. He wished he hadn’t let go of the stone so he could’ve felt it again.  
Deep breaths Harry. He heard your voice in his head remind him. He didn’t know if it was actually you or if he was just imagining it but he listened. Deep breaths.
