But tread the water child, and know that meanwhile // rises the moon

[ Remus and Pandora Lupin as twins >>> ]

Remus Lupin had never known his mother - not really. Yes, he had met Hope, but he didn’t feel like he knew her. How could you know a woman who gave you up, anyway? Still, he didn’t believe that Hope could still surprise him at this point. That was until he first met Pandora.

He wasn’t sure how it was possible that being in the same year as Pandora he had no memory of ever encountering her before that first divination class. He sat at one of the circular tables, trying his best to ignore Sirius’ obnoxious laughter and James’ excessively loud slurping. He was too busy trying to place where he met that blonde haired girl before - the one sitting at that table, on the other side of the room, laughing at something Mary had said. He racked his memory - where was it? He was sure he knew those blue eyes, those platinum blonde locks - and it wasn’t the Malfoys.

“Remus Lupin?” the professor called out.

“Present.” Remus responded, not taking his eyes off the girl. She furrowed her brow, as though caught off-guard.

“Pandora Lupin?” His attention immediately switched to the professor. Lupin? That must’ve been a mistake - right?

“Present.” The blonde haired girl responded, turning to look at Remus. He met her gaze. No. It wasn’t possible - was it? But there it was, in plain sight. And all at once, Remus understood where it was he had seen her before. An old photo from the sixties - a muggle photo. A young Hope, laughing with her friends on some spray-painted wall. And this girl - Pandora - she was the spitting image of Hope - the spitting image of his mother.

Remus couldn’t focus much on divination after that, especially not with the whispered questions from Sirius and James (to which he answered with a few choice words, naturally), and as soon as class ended, he gathered his things, throwing them haphazardly into his bag and approaching the ravenclaw girl, the one with the blonde hair.

“Hi.” He said. The girl packed her bag and turned to regard Remus, blue eyes seeming to look straight through him - almost as piercing as Dumbledore’s.

“Hello,” She smiled at him. “I’m Pandora.” The girl extended a hand, and Remus awkwardly shook it. “And you’re Remus, if I remember correctly.”

“Uh. Yes.” Remus shook his head. “I’m sorry, but the professor said your last name was Lupin.”

“It is.”

“My last name is Lupin.”

“So I noticed.” Pandora tilted her head. “You look like someone I know. Have we met before?”

“I don’t think so.” Remus shook his head again. “But… well. My mother, Hope - she says I’m the spitting image of dad.” Pandora’s eyes widened, as did her smile.

“Well colour me stoked.” The blonde girl was basically grinning at this point. “My mom’s name is Hope, Remus.”

“But…” Remus furrowed his brow slightly. Yes, that would make sense, explain her resemblance. But if he had a sister - wouldn’t he know? “The boy’s home said I was an only child.”

“So did the sisters at the girl’s orphanage.” The classroom was entirely empty at this point. Pandora turned to the trap door. “Perhaps we should go? I have a free period now, if you want to compare notes?” Remus nodded, smiling.

“I’m free now too. Library sound good?”

“My common room is closer, and free at this hour.”

“I’m a Gryffindor.”

“So?” Pandora shrugged, stepping down the ladder. Remus followed behind her. “I spend most of my time in the Slytherin common room anyway, no one really cares.” Pandora flashed Remus a smile. “Besides, Lyall was a Ravenclaw. No-one will have anything against another Lupin in the tower.” Remus smiled again.

“Ok.” He extended his arm in a welcoming gesture. “Go on then. Lead the way.”

—

Remus Lupin never liked children. But now, looking down at his niece’s soft face, delicate blue eyes and fluffy white hair - he could imagine himself falling in love with children just like James had. His eyes were wide with wonder as he held the baby girl in his arms, as gently as he could. Sirius stood beside him, cooing at the baby. Remus turned to his twin sister.

“What’s her name?” He asked as softly as he could.

“We named her after you, moony.” Pandora smiled. Her eyes were framed by dark circles, her skin paler than usual. She looked tired. But also - happy. Content. Fulfilled. “Luna.”

“Luna Lovegood.” Sirius chuckled slightly. “That sounds like some pop singer’s stage name.”

“I like it.” Pandora shrugged. “Gives her character.”

“It does.” Remus nodded, turning back to look at the little girl in his arms. “Little Luna.”

“You two will be godparents of course?” Pandora leaned back on the pillow. “I need to know someone will care for her.”

“You’ll care for her, Panda.” Remus said sternly. “You’re not going anywhere.”

“Maybe.” Pandora smiled. “Still, promise me you two will be godparents?”

“Of course.” Sirius smiled.

“Good.” Panda sighed. She seemed relieved at that, as though a weight lifted from her shoulders. “Good.” She closed her eyes, and was soon fast asleep. Remus and Sirius left the room.

—

Remus Lupin’s eyes were stinging, but the tears never came. He hadn’t left the house in almost a year before today. Well. At least he still fit in his old funeral outfit.

Pandora’s funeral was beautiful, just like she was. Xenophilius and Luna sat in the first row, Remus beside the girl. He couldn’t bring himself to look at her, his five-year-old niece. His five-year-old godchild. The girl he and Sirius were supposed to care for together after Pandora left. Sirius… Remus shook his head. He couldn’t think about that right now. He wasn’t here for him. He was here for Pandora.

They placed the urn in the ground. Pandora would have liked it here. She would have liked the place that Xenophilius had picked out for her, close to nature - close to what she had loved so deeply. Remus sighed, feeling the weight of the past few months heavy on his shoulders, his arms limp at his sides. And then - he felt a small, warm hand fit into his own. He turned to see the young Luna, looking up at her, wide-eyed. Tears were flowing down her cheeks, but she was smiling. Remus felt his heart bleed for this child. To have something as wonderful as Pandora - and to lose it at such a young age. He felt his own eyes prickle with tears.

“Hello uncle moony,” Luna smiled at him. “It’s nice to see you again.”

“I’m not going anywhere, Luna.” The tears spilled free, flowing down his cheeks and onto the soft ground. “Not this time.”

—

“How’s our goddaughter been doing?”

“She’s the spitting image of her.”

“Hope?”

“Pandora.”

I thought about au with blind Regulus and deaf Sirius. It is not congenital, most likely acquired after 5 years of Sirius and 4 years of Regulus at Hogwarts. Their mother's unsuccessful punishment spell hit both brothers. Total blindness forever for Regulus, too much damage to do anything about it, even magic is powerless. Sirius rolled down the stairs, hitting his head on all corners, causing serious damage to the head, including the auditory cortex. The predictions of the Black' personal doctor were positive, of course, no one was going to upset them. But the hearing does not return to Sirius in a year or two.

And this difficult for them, almost impossible to make contact, despair splashes, their psycho-emotional state is not just a light wind, it's a fucking storm, like, they never can be ok again. They need more than a one year to talk to each other again. It's been hard before, don't think they don't love each other, we all know true, and yet their family didn't anticipate the possibility of healthy communication among its members. But now it takes a lot more effort to talk. Sirius can't hear, but he can speak. Regulus can speak and hear, but cannot see. So, Sirius speaks. Sometimes Regulus answers and Sirius lip-reads, it gets better and better with the years but never perfect the meaning of some phrases is inevitably lost, but that's something they can at least handle. Sometimes Regulus writes — he remembers good how it's done, but still a little awkward, not nearly as perfect as it used to be, and yet understandable enough. They learn to use it more often. Talk more often. It is important for them not to lose connect. They seem to have lost it all their lives and only learned to fix it when it was too fucking late.This was exactly the moment when Sirius runs away from home and starts living with James. And Regulus needs time, his parents are careful with him, they no longer try to be as cruel as they used to be, mostly just words, and over the years he managed to develop a good immunity, they do not hurt as much as they could. Sirius hates himself for not being able to take Regulus. They still didn't talk back then, it was so difficult for them and Sirius couldn't just ask Regulus to come with him, he didn't believe he could protect him and felt incredibly vulnerable. But he offers in a year and Regulus agrees.

When they get back to Hogwarts, things clearly change. Honestly, even too much. Regulus has a specially trained guide dog, this is a collie named Lyra (actually, in honor of the constellation, but he did not tell anyone about it except Pandora), she is big, soft and fluffy, and she is also smart and really very strong helps him. He also has a cane inlaid with many spells, so he knows Hogwarts quite well, much better than the first years (which is a dubious achievement, but nonetheless).

Sirius is trying to cope with his condition, mostly not really knowing what to do. I'm thinking of a spell he might have found one day to help take notes, literally translate the words spoken by the professor into text (I know there's nothing like that in canon, but it would be fair if there was, and generally, I just don't care about canon, I REALLY don't care, it's there because I made it up right now). He carries around a notepad and pen so that people can write what they want to say to him, but he also often understands what they are saying by watching their lips move. He can also talk, but he can't hear himself, so it's often very loud/very quiet, he prefers to write, but in the company of marauders, he doesn't care if he seems stupid or awkward.

I think Regulus, even after losing his sight, plays the piano, it is important for him to hear and feel the keys under his fingers, it grounds him, calms him down, makes him feel whole. Sometimes it is unbearable, but more often it gets easier than worse. (As he gets older, there are days when his hands shake too much and he can't find the right keys. Then Lily kisses his temple and James puts his hands over Regulus', they play slowly, making Regulus feel more, feel integrity, pushing the keys until he's finally okay)

And sometimes their duet with Sirius is also heartbreaking. Sirius can't hear but can guide his hands, he just feels, he has enough feeling, he doesn't really like to play. He desperately wants to help Regulus. And he sees the keys, he may be his eyes.

So, speaking of marauders. Honestly, James was the first to know. I think Sirius ran away to him somewhere in the middle of summer vacation, so James went to Hogwarts already fluent in sign language and actively continuing his studies. They met Peter during that time, so he definitely found out, even if Sirius didn't want to show it, and sign language was incredibly difficult for Peter, but he tried!! (damn, he tries so hard to be tactful, I just know it, he doesn't want to offend him, he doesn't even speak in his presence, but mostly writes on a notepad to make Sirius comfortable!!!)

Remus only finds out at Hogwarts, not because Sirius doesn't want to tell him, but because Sirius feels bad and doesn't want to appear weak in front of his boyfriend, ok. In this universe, there is no prank, so they are really happy together, but Sirius's disability is very difficult, and he wants to withdraw into himself and never share his burden with anyone. But he still has to do it when they meet on the train, and it's, well, never been easy, ok? Sirius also believes that he is much more fortunate than Regulus and feels guilty because people surround him with care, it seems to him that he does not deserve it.

I also think that Remus KNOWS sign language very well (I headcanon him with a large family, several younger and one older sister, I think one of his sisters is deaf so he had to learn sign language for her, I can talk about his sisters, in case anyone is wondering, I just love the concept of a big family where Remus is the middle child, and he is the only wizard, except for Lyall, if we are not talking about the fact that Pandora could be his sister. He also suffers from lycanthropy, and I think one of his sisters might, but that's another TALK....but, you know, he'll never be alone and his family is, well, a little wolf-family-pack. ..okay, just let me know if anyone is interested, this isn't even about Remus, I should fucking shut up) so that makes things a little easier? Except that Sirius himself needs time to learn sign language, but it's absolutely in his best interest, so he's trying so hard. Remus really tries to take care of him, he shares his notes with him before Sirius finds that spell (he's never done this before and it was never needed, but now Sirius is so grateful) and he's definitely taking the translator's position a bit with people who do not know sign language, he really is not a burden, because Sirius will never be a burden for him. Never.

And also I think that Regulus has a spell that makes the book read itself, which makes life easier, magic is beautiful. And he definitely learns to read braille later, but I don't think it's very common among wizards (he probably isn't at all. but over time his life is so closely intertwined with muggle world, he can't ignore it)

Let's talk about girls! I like to think that Lily was fluent in sign language before that, as if she seems like someone who will know it, or at least try to learn it. Mary and Marlene absolutely don't know but they are really good friends so they try. And Marlene is in love with being able to write constant notes in a notebook (gives atmosphere. She puts Sirius notes between textbooks, very, very many notes in a day, they become less over time, but she was never going to throw constant gossip with her bestfriend, thanks, even deafness will not interfere with her). Mary also uses her notebook to write for Sirius when she wants to say something.

I also think that Lily absolutely cares about Regulus (platonically or romantically, your choice), but she doesn't know what she can do for him, she just goes with him all the time, almost seems to blend in with the Slytherins. She reads books to him aloud because he likes how soothing her voice sounds, he actually has an amazing memory, he quotes something from what he has read before or from what he heard from Lily.

Evan and Barty don't know how to act at first. But over time it gets easier. Like there's no problem putting things back where they belong so that Regulus can move around the room with ease, at which point they're very clean. They try to spend a lot of time with him, sometimes it's even annoying, he can say it, but honestly he is grateful.

(also Lyra is absolutely delighted with Barty and Pandora, when Regulus is in bed and she doesn't help him anymore, she often goes to Barty's to get her helping strokes)

Dorcas is so excited when she finds out about this, she is actually so mad at his family. One of her best friends will never fucking see anything else because of his family (Regulus never told them the reason but they know. They all know). She is very afraid of how unsafe he can be in his house, but she obviously does not show it, it would be inappropriate and not quite in her character. She tries to be tactful and act like nothing has changed. And she's also very supportive, actually, she's just not clingy like Barty and Evan, for example, she's just expressing help in the little things, I would say. Her help is usually silent, but also surprisingly eloquent.

I didn't say much about Pandora, I'm sorry. They have an amazingly cute duo and an interesting way of getting around, when Regulus assumes his animagus form, he is also blind, but he is literally cat, so she often carries him around in her arms to his destination. It's faster. Oh, and she was the one who helped him find the spell to read!!

Also, I think Sirius's hearing will start to recover at some point, but it will never be good enough, it's just... some sounds, more sounds than total silence. I didn't mention hearing aids before and I don't think they're common among wizards, but he'll definitely use them when they get out in muggle London and, well, it won't give him perfect hearing, but it's a lot better than nothing...

(little bonus: when Sirius wants to be kissed, but he doesn't want to write about it in a notebook or make gestures because it will upset the mood, he puts his finger on his lips or on his forehead or on his cheek, my boy just wants kisses. And he spreads his arms out to the side when he's waiting for a hug and doesn't want to initiate it first. when alone with Remus, sometimes he just reaches out his palms. Oh, and he claps his hands when he tries to get someone's attention. It's easier for him not to talk than to talk so he keeps the conversations to a minimum)

I have a head cannon that Pandora and Remus are siblings, Pandora is one or two years younger. They both had lisps when they were kids because of their accents. He calls her Panda and she used to call him ReRe. they drifted apart when the war started, they weren't necessarily on different sides of the war. Hope and Lyall weren't the most romantic but they did love each other at first, they had different opinions about how to deal with Remus as a child causing him to grow up heavily bullied, isolated, and touch starved, Lyall cared for about half of Pandora's childhood but then he stopped caring and both Remus and Pandora think it's their fault, Hope really tried but she was basically a single mother at this point. Pandora is a glass sibling, at first she blamed Remus but she eventually realized it was her parents to blame. The family was lower middle class so they were okay ish until Lyall got fired from his job for saying bad shit and became an alcoholic, Hope picked up odd jobs and barely gave any money to the kids anymore because she didn't have much to spare. Remus got sorted with the wrong people that summer when he was 13, he started selling drugs to help around the house and buy things for his sister, him, her friends and his friends, by the end of the school year Remus got addicted at the age of fourteen. Pandora figured out where the money was from later and started refusing it, she didn't like the marauders but she hated his summer friends for getting him drugs. Pandora became very close friends with Regulus but when they figured out her older brother was dating his older brother there was a small rift but then they only got closer. Remus got diagnosed with addiction when he turned 17 but it went rampant for two years undiagnosed, After he was actually being treated they grew closer again both finally meeting the others friends. Pandora got to know Sirius from more than just bits and pieces so he grew on her mostly because of Regulus's death. Remus and Xeno became good friends though he was pretty protective of Pandora. When Pandora was seventeen Remus found her smoking and started scolding her and then threatened her friends. They didn't really make up and then the war really really started and they drifted apart fully.
