Part II Part III
You liked to spend your days in the library. Which had nothing to do with a certain Gryffindor...obviously. The leaves had started to change and the weather was getting colder. Y/N found comfort in the huge library. You could hide away for hours. Except that he was always able to find you.
Remus was always in the library. He would go there before meals, after meals, to get some alone time away from the boys, and to see her.
Her name is Y/N and she’s in most of his classes. He was always too shy to talk to her. Like she'd ever notice him, she’s so angelic, he thought to himself. Smiling to himself. Remus was wearing his favourite sweater. He was so excited for autumn. His friends made fun of him for it, comparing him to a grandpa. He didn't mind.
You had always liked his sweaters, thinking he looked sweet and cozy in them. One night you had fallen asleep in the common room and he had placed his warm hoodie on you so you wouldn't freeze. You had woken up confused but surprised. Blushing all day long because he had thought enough about you to keep you warm .
You walked into the great hall after spending the morning in the library. With your stomach growling, you sat down with your group of friends. James was the first to notice you.
“Hi Y/N, how was your morning?” He asked while smiling at you from across the table.
“It was good, James. I was studying for our potions test on Friday,” you remind him.
Collective groans sound from around the table, all of them having forgotten about the upcoming test.
“You're a lifesaver Y/N”, Sirius said while ruffling your hair, causing everyone else to laugh. Except Remus. He smiled, but there was no real happiness in it.
Everyone looks up when they hear an owl. That was strange, you thought. It looks just like your owl. Sure enough, it was your owl and he lands right in front of you. You recognize your fathers slanted script and immediately you freeze up.
Your relationship with your father is extremely complicated. Your friends know that it’s hard at home but they don’t know the extent to it. You slowly untie the letter and your owl flies off.
“You alright love?,” Lily nudges you while giving you an encouraging smile.
“Um, yeah. Y’know what? I left my book in my room. I'm going to go get that before our next class,” you lied before scurrying off.
The group of friends look at each other and frown, sad for their friend. Remus gets up and immediately follows you, abandoning his already cold soup.
He made his way to the common room and up the stairs to your dorm.
You heard a faint knock on your door. You stood up, hiding the letter behind your back and wiping away your tears.
“Come in,” you squeak.
Remus opens the door to your dorm, never having seen it before. He admires your side of the room. He can tell it's yours because there's stacks of books and school work.
“Hi, I just came to see if you were okay.” he says while walking closer to you, after shutting the door.
You feel grateful to have such a good... friend. It’s silly to realize now but all you will ever be with Remus is friends. You tell yourself you can think about that later, not right now when he can see every emotion on your face, with how well he is at reading you.
“Thanks rem, just a letter from my dad. He’s coming to the school this week to ‘make sure i’m doing my family proud’. He said he’s going to shadow me all day on Friday and I'm really nervous about it, especially since our potions test is coming up,” you confess.
All of your friends knew that your family was strict. In the first year you had been sorted into Gryffindor, while your sister was sorted into Ravenclaw. Like she was supposed to. You were disappointed because you weren't smart enough. Your family for generations, had been in Ravenclaw. You were a ‘bad’ daughter for being different.
“It's gonna be okay Y/N/N! We’re all going to be here for you. It’s only for a day, and I know you’ll be strong enough to make it through,” Remus said while smiling down at you.
“I think i’m just going to skip today, will you tell the others i’m sick or something?” You ask him nicely.
“Of course. You know I'll always be here Y/N.” He says, while exiting the room. Remus went to the dining hall, explained to his friends that you and he were going to take the day off. They all smiled at him and thanked him for looking out for you. He rushed to the kitchens to grab your favourite dessert, and rushed back to your dorm.
“Rem? what are you doing back here?” you say, sitting up and rubbing your eyes. You were just about to fall asleep.
“Oh nothing, just spending the day with you. Here,” he says while handing you his sweater he had previously been wearing. You grab it and put it on, both of you not making eye contact and blushing.
“Uh, thanks Rem, but you don’t need to do this.” You say sadly.
“Of course I do silly. Now shush and eat up.”
He grabs a random book off of your shelf and sits at the end of your bed. He waits for you to be all cuddled up before he starts the book. He admired that the book is worn in and loved. He admires you for that.
“Goodnight Y/N/N.” He whispers once you'd fallen asleep. He stays a few minutes longer, watching you sleep and smiling to himself. He feels he’s connected to you and that you two share something. He has to rush back to class before he is too late, he’s a prefect after all. It was worth it, to see you drift off.

Part I
You had been nervous all week, but finally Friday had arrived. Sitting with your friends at breakfast, not touching the food Lily had loaded onto your plate, a letter arrived for you.
I will be there at 9 am. Wait for me at the front doors and do not be late.
“It's gonna be just fine Y/N, We're going to be here all day.” Sirius said with a mouth full of food.
“Yeah, about that Sirius, my dad doesn't like your family. I'm really sorry but maybe you should just stay hidden around me today. It's for the best.” You mumble while staring at your shaking hands. You tried not to look at Remus. He was trying to catch your attention but you didn't want him to see how scared you really were.
“Well I better go wait for him, he's gonna show up any minute.” You tell the group, with a shy smile and walk away.
Watching you walk to the front doors outside the Great Hall, Remus mumbled to the group, “I don't know guys, this time he seems really serious”.
“No, I’m Siriu-”, Sirius got cut off by James hitting the back of his head.
“Shut up Pads, this is Serious. And don't say it again.” James said. Sirius looked away, smiling to himself.
“Don't worry about her, Remus. She'll do just fine. Her fathers worried about her, that's all.” Lily consoled him.
“But, don't you think he's a bit extreme?” Remus asked the group.
“He does kind of remind me of my mother”, Sirius said, looking embarrassed for admitting something like that to his friends. Him and Y/N were in the same boat and he knew that their friends wouldn’t understand.
“Maybe at break I can sneak her away from her dad for a bit and talk to her!”, Sirius said excitedly. “I mean, I am the only one who gets it, y’know?”
Remus tried not to show his anger. He wanted to comfort her, not Sirius. Who knows, Sirius had not been seeing anyone lately. Maybe he was going to try to make a move.
“Yeah. Great idea Pads.” Remus replied flatly. The rest of breakfast was spent quietly.
Meanwhile, You were sweating bullets waiting for your father by the entrance. Suddenly the huge oak doors open and your father walks in. He looks very serious and determined today.
“Daughter. I do wish you will take me seriously this time. I will send you somewhere else if I have to. Now, be a good heir and be quiet, and do as you're told. Think you can manage?” Your father says sternly.
“Yes father”, You reply, not meeting his gaze.
“Good. Come along now.” He starts walking in the direction of the dungeons. Great. Time to embarrass yourself in front of your father and Professor Slughorn. You follow your father down into the castle, until you feel the coldness radiating off the walls.
“I expect you to answer what is asked of you, and to do well on your test, Okay? You can do it my girl I know you can”, Your father smiled wickedly at you. You knew he was taunting you, speaking to you how he would your sister. Your perfect sister. It's not her fault she's favoured, it's your fault you're the unlucky one. Being the oldest is hard because you have to be the role model. If you're bad at that you're kind of screwed.
You walk into the classroom and sit in your regular seat. You shoot Sirius an obvious look to remind him he has to sit somewhere else today. He catches on quickly and pushes Remus’ shoulders down so he's forced to sit beside you. Not that he minds.
Your father was standing at the back of the classroom, standing tall and looking important. Your teachers had been informed of your fathers presence for today and were told to proceed as normal. You shoot Remus a small smile and turn to face the front of the room. You don't see him stare at you with a dopey look on his face.
“Alright class, who's ready for our test?” Professor Slughorn asked when he entered the room. He heard groans of protest in response. “Aw come now class, you all know the material as well as I do. Nothing to worry about. Now, get out your quills, and I will hand out the test so we can begin.” The professor stated while smiling at his student.
“No need Slughorn, Y/N will do it. Won't you Y/N?” Your father said, picking you out of the whole class.
“Yes sir”, You said, standing up and walking to your professor. You hand out the test to the whole class, Sirius shoots you an encouraging thumbs up, before you're back beside Remus.
“That wasn’t too bad, was it Y/N/N?” Remus asked while writing his name in messy writing at the top of his page.
“Yeah, just wait. It'll get worse.” You reply sullenly.
“Today will be over fast. I promise. And if it's not, we can get shitfaced this weekend. My treat?” Remus asked shyly.
“Deal, Lupin.” You reply while smiling.
“Okay Class, you may begin. You have an hour.” Slughorn said.
Halfway through your test, you were trying to remember how to brew polyjuice, when your father whispers in your ear, “I don't want you hanging around this boy beside you. I've seen him passing notes to Mr. Black. You are to have no contact with these things anymore. Just look at this young man's clothes, doesn't his parents care about him enough to send him off with clothes that fit and aren't worn in? You will stay away from him from now on.” He said, then walked back to his place by the back wall.
You started to sweat. What the hell was that all about? Remus is a good kid. He never ever gets in trouble, he's too smart for that.
Beside you, Remus stares self consciously at his clothes. He had heard everything your father said. Perks of having good hearing I guess. He knew they were getting too small but he didn't think anyone else had noticed.
Whatever,
He thought to himself.
I know her better than you ever will, so ha.
“Alright class, times up. If you did not finish, I will allow you another hour after your last class of the day.” Professor Slughorn said. The class seemed happy with that. He wanted to be more lenient because it was a Friday, but especially because the class had an intimidating man sitting in the class today.
At break, Y/N walked the grounds alone while her father stayed back to speak with Professor Slughorn. She was walking when she heard running behind her. “Y/N wait up!” Sirius yelled at her.
“Sirius what are y-”, She was cut off by Sirius dragging her behind a thick tree.
“I came to see how you're feeling. Are you okay? Is he being nice? I know he made you hand out the test, that wasn't too bad was it? Also, what did he say to do during the test? I was so worried I kept looking at you and I guess he saw. I'm so sorry if I got you in trouble.” Sirius rambles to you.
“Don't even worry about it Siri, my dad's still a dick. Like usual. You didn't get me in trouble, He doesn't like moony and asked me to stay away from him and you guys”, you replied glumly.
“I understand Y/N/N. I'm always here to listen, you know that. My mom is the same way. I'm sorry that you have to deal with that. But hey! Maybe you could come stay with us at James’ house this summer! It would be so much fun. Plus I know moony would be especially happy.” Sirius said, not realizing what he had just said about his best friend.
“Wait- what do you mean Sirius? Why would Remus be especially happy that I would be there?” you asked him curiously.
“Huh, oh no reason. Anyway uh I gotta go bye!” He yelled while running away back to the castle.
You stood there, confused and wondering about what he meant. You stepped out from behind the tree and started making your way back to the castle. On the way, you spot Remus near the black lake. You jog over to him, “Hey moony, what are you doing?” you asked politely.
He looked down at you, “Oh. Hey Y/N/N. Nothing, just trying to see if I can see the giant squid.” He replies.
He doesn't say what he wants to say. Which is, hey what the hell are you doing sneaking behind trees with pads? Instead he just looks at you and smiles warmly.
“Anyways, c'mon we better head back before your dad catches you talking to this thing.” He says, referencing what your father had whispered to you during potions.
“Oh no. You heard that? I'm so sorry Remus. I don't see you like that at all. I honestly think you're amazing.” You say to him breathlessly.
Oh. Oh
“Thanks Y/N. We’ll have to throw a party for you tomorrow.” He says while smiling.
You just want to hug him and stay with him all day. Oh well, you can look forward to partying with your friends tomorrow. You both start walking back towards the castle, to see your father waiting for you on the front steps.
“Y/N. I thought I had told you to stay away from this boy. Come here. Now.” Your father says, not taking his eyes off of Remus. Remus walks you over to your father, you reluctantly go to his side. Your father steps to Remus.
“Go. Don't you have something better to do than tormenting my daughter?”
Remus is usually seen slouching. He stood to his full height and squared his shoulders. He stared your father down. He was a few inches shorter than Remus. “I think she can choose who she's friends with, don't you?” Remus challenges your father.
Your father ignores him completely and gripped your arm, hurting you. “Let's go dear, you've been outside long enough for today.” You watch Remus as you are being pulled away. He gives you a smile and a thumbs up. ‘It's okay,' he mouths to you.
Remus walks back into the castle thinking about you. He doubts that was the first time your father had put his hands on you. Remus feels very protective towards you. He knows he likes you but he feels scared about it. I mean, what's going on with you and pads? Does he like her? Does she like him?
Remus plans to confront Sirius about his intentions with you. He also intends to throw you the best party Hogwarts has ever seen.

“Hey. I need to talk to you.” Remus said when he walked into his dorm room.
“Who, me?” asked James nervously. He did not like confrontation and he could tell by Remus’ stare, that a confrontation would definitely be happening.
“No. Pads.” he replied while glaring at the boy.
“What's up Moony?” Asked Sirius standing up from his bed and tossing his muggle magazine on his bedside table.
“It's about Y/N. I don't know what you're doing or if you're going to try to make a move but you better stop, fast. I care about her and I'm not going to let you woo her and then dump her when you're finished.” Remus ranted, his face and neck going red.
“Woah Woah Woah, who the hell said I was trying to steal your girl Moony? We all know you've been bloody obsessed over her since third year. I'd never make a move on her. I was just comforting her because I know that it feels like to have a parent like that.” Sirius replied. He felt upset that his friend thought that low of him. He knew he had a long dating history but he had cared about all of them, hadn't he? In his own way I guess he had.
“Oh. Well. Ok then. I didn't realize you all knew how I felt.” Remus replied shyly, regretting his tone that he had spoken to Sirius with.
“Of course we bloody know, we found your poems about her under your bed last year.” Sirius said while grinning.
“Oh, Y/N! How I love your shiny hair and how it catches the sun! I wish I could sit and watch it all day!”, James said in a high pitched voice. Remus ran at him while James jumped out of the way. The group started running from him while laughing and reciting his bad poetry about you.
At least we're all clear and on the same page, Remus thought to himself after they had all calmed down.
“All right, now that that's all settled. We need to plan a party for Y/N. For tomorrow night.” Remus told his friends.
“TOMORROW?” Screamed the rest of the marauders. “Well you should've opened with that idiot! How the hell are we supposed to plan a party for her in under 24 hours?” Sirius yelled.
“Oh come on pads you've done that plenty of times. Only this time, it has to be huge. Invite other houses, we need a bar, a disco ball, fireworks, food, and lots and lots of drinks. She deserves a party dedicated just for her.” Remus said passionately.
“Jesus Moony. Can't y’just ask her out already? Doing all of this for her just to stay friends when it's over. Be careful, people might think you're in looovve”, James said while grinning at his friend.
“Oh shut up. She's had a hard week. This is for her to relax, not for me to try and get with her. But if I get a kiss or two I'm not complaining.” He joked with his friends.
“There's the Remus I know!” James yelled and slapped him on the back. “Alright, me and Sirius will take the cloak now, skip off our next class and head into the village to get what we need.”
“But I wanna go too!” Peter whined.
“Sorry Pete. If we all go, the teachers will know something’s up. Plus if we get caught, you can't afford another detention.” James replied sympathetically. Peter nodded, remembering the last howler he received from his mother for his amount of detentions. The group split up then, two getting supplies, and two going to Herbology.
Meanwhile, You and your father were walking to the green houses together.
“Ok Y/N. Repeat to me what I have just told you.” Your father said to you.
“No speaking to anyone I'm not partnered up with. No speaking when not spoken to. Do better than everyone else because I was raised to be better than the rest.” You spoke in a monotone voice.
“Yes. Good. I'll be standing at the back again. And fix your bloody posture.” He whispered before disappearing to the back of the greenhouse.
Your usual partner was Remus but he and Lily switched at the last second so your father didn't see. He was now partnered with Marlene. He and Marls were good friends so he didn't mind the switch. That didn't stop him from staring at you every chance he got.
Herbology went by fast, and soon enough it was time for lunch. You walked back to the castle with your father, and he sat with you at your table. It was extremely awkward.
“So, Mr. Y/L/N, what do you do for work?” Lily asked politely.
Your father smiled at her and said “I work at the Ministry of Magic”.
All your friends kept making friendly conversation while you tried not to focus on anything. You always felt uncomfortable around your father, even when you were a baby you'd always cry when he held you. Maybe that's why he didn't like you. Because you could tell he was a bad man.
Remus kept trying to catch your attention, your father could tell. He was getting angrier and angrier. Who was this boy? And why did he care for you so much? It was pathetic really, your father thought while smiling to himself. Surely you won't fall for it right? You know better than that. Or do you? Rather than sit and find out, your father got up, pulling you with him.
“I think we should head to your next lesson early, don't you?” He asked, while you nodded along, willing to agree to anything to make this day be over.
As soon as you left the table, Remus leaned in and said “Party tomorrow for Y/N. Tell anyone you want I don't care but make sure you get people to come. Sirius and James are doing most of the organizing so you know it'll be memorable”. He walked away shortly after that, saying he had some extra planning to do before class.
Before you knew it, the rest of the day flew by. Your father didn't stay for dinner, saying he'd write soon. You walked up to the common room and slouched into a chair, wanting to be left alone. You ended up falling asleep by the warm fire, dreaming of your family. Your nightmare left you breathless and sweaty when you awoke.
Or maybe it was because you had a thick sweater draped across you, with a note pinned to it. ‘You looked so peaceful, I couldn't wake you. I'll get a house elf to bring you some dinner so you can be alone. Rest well. Good job today Y/N/N’
You could tell it was Remus’ writing. You swore you could kiss him right then.
wolfstar • all the young dudes
In my French class, two girls were talking about ATYD, so, naturally, I had to notify them I also know the gay men. I couldn’t work out a way to do it, and panicked when they started walked out of the class. As a normal, functioning piece of society, I coughed excessively, blurted ‘CRIMSON RIVERS’, then threw myself at a table in embarrassment.
