Moonlight [Young!Remus Lupin x Reader] Unedited

[8] Muggle Romance

3rd Person

It had been a few months since the formal and Christmas was quickly approaching. (Y/N) decided early on that she wasn't going home for the holidays. None of the girls in the dorm were. It was their last Christmas at Hogwarts together.

(Y/N) had gotten closer to Remus in those two months. He helped her plan a surprise for Sirius' birthday and time spent studying up at the Astronomy Tower became frequent.

Lyai never talked to Ryan again. Lucia and that Hufflepuff became really good friends and Sasha... Her and the Slytherin boy are getting pretty serious.

Your Pov
It was rather cold up on the Astronomy Tower. You look at the book Remus had handed you.

"Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. 1813."

You read aloud.

"I...Well, I thought you might like it seeming as you like muggle studies so much."

Remus smiled, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Oh my! No Remus you're amazing! Thank you for bringing this to my attention."

You smile and pull him into a hug. Once you realize what you did, you pull away.  Your cheeks staining pink.

You look at him. He looks slightly agitated.

"Remus..I'm sorry I didn't mean to annoy you by hugging you I..."

You try and explain.

The boy sighs and shakes his head.

"It's not you..It's just tomorrow is..."

'Oh full moon.'

"You can tell me anything. You know that."

'He doesn't know I know.'

Remus exhaled. He looked nervous.

"...I'mawerewolfanditsafullmoonsoonandIhatethemsomuchandnowyouprobablythinkimamonster."

(I'm a werewolf and it's a full moon tomorrow and I hate them so much and you now probably think I'm a monster.)

He blurted out.

He looked down at his hands.

"Oh, Remus... I could never think you're a monster. You're wonderful.."

You give him a genuine smile and place your hand on top of his.

A blush arrived on his cheeks. Both of leaned towards each other but you stop when you're millimetres away.

"We can't do this.."

You whisper against his lips.

"We really can't."

He whispered back.

"Then why haven't you moved yet?"

You asked in a barely audible voice.

"Why haven't you pulled away?"

He responded, smirking.

"Because it's too tempting."

"Same reason I haven't."

Both you let out small laughs, still not pulling away.

You did eventually pull away.

"And the full moon thing...I can't promise you're gonna be okay but I can promise to be here for you right after."

You smile and kiss his nose.

He placed his hand under your chin and kissed you gently.

Footsteps tapped up the stairs.

"Is it that I am interrupting something (Y/N)?"

Lyai's voice called.

You pull away from him quickly.

"O-oh um! No...Not at all! You wanted help on your potions essay, didn't you?! I'll be right there!"

You scramble collecting your books. You thank Remus for the book and run down the stairs away from him.

"You two looked comfy."

Lyai smirked.

"S-shut up.."

You murmur and walk back to the common room.

*+*+*+*

Dinner had finished and you and your friends sat around in your dorm.

Lyai cleared her voice.

"I have an announcement!!! (Y/N Mavious Black kissed Remus John Lupin!"

"Ohhhh mother of Merlin's tits Lyai!!"

You buried your face in your hand in sheer embarrassment. The girls screamed. The still acted like 3rd years when someone got a love letter.

"Tell ya all about it!!"

Remus' Pov

"You did what?!"

James cried.

"I know...."

"Awh is Moony-poo blushing?"

James smirked and prodded my cheek. The rose hue on my skin increased.

"So what's the plan now? Ask her out? Fuck buddies? Or are you just gonna forget that it ever happened?"

He said so casually.

"W-why would you say that?"

I don't think I could get any more embarrassed than how I was currently feeling.

"I mean come on you've it before right?"

"..."

"OH GHOST OF MERLIN!!!"

He started.

"You're a virgin?!"

His voice was louder than it should be.

I stayed silent again. I mean, who would want me?

"Well, who wants to sleep with a werewolf, James?!"

It was his time to be silent.

"Moony I'm sorry.."

"No, I'm sorry.. It's tomorrow. I'm just kinda tense."

We sat down and talked for a while until he went on a rant about Lily.
