Sirius: I mean. Severus's just standing there now.

Sirius: Waiting for me, I guess.

Sirius: But it's okay, I think he's pretty much settled down.

Remus: Settled down?

Sirius: Well, he only stabbed me once.

Severus: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine.

Remus: But, darling, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again.

Severus: O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns??

Remus: Is it working?

*I like this one ⤵ too*

Sirius: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine.

Severus: But, darling, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again.

Sirius: O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns??

Severus: Is it working?

Remus: No, this is not a mess. You know what I consider a mess?

Severus: Your life?

Remus: I- well yes, but-

Remus: Sorry I'm late, I was doing things.

Severus: Hello, I’m ‘things’.

some remus lupin headcanons i have that literally no one asked for

will never admit it but he actually loves history of magic

swears all the time

except during sex where he just uses merlin instead

queen is his favourite band by a long shot

sirius learns some queen songs on guitar so he can play them for remus to impress him

remus rolls his eyes but is secretly very impressed

hates coffee

pretends to hate when padfoot licks him but secretly loves it

jumpers galore

really likes joseph and the amazing technicolour dreamcoat for some reason

hums his favourite songs all the time without realising

long attention span

like he could sit and watch the sky for hours

or james and sirius messing about on their brooms

or the raindrops going down the windows

he likes when it’s sunny because he gets to watch the sun illuminate sirius’ face

but his favourite weather is when it’s crisp and dry, or when there’s a rainstorm

loves sirius’ head in his lap whilst he reads

loves hands running through his hair (mainly sirius’)

hates water but drinks it anyway

“it has no flavour whatsoever” “why are you drinking it then” “it’s good for you innit”

i’m convinced that he talks in proper english all day up until around 6pm where he gets lazy/tired and starts muttering in bristolian

m o r n i n g p e r s o n

will only go shirtless in front of the marauders bc he’s insecure of his scars :((

never likes to cut his hair, but it’s ok because it never grows past his ears

he has a lip piercing because why not

buff but he doesn’t often show it

it’s a sight for mainly sirius

loves it when sirius gently tickles or touches him because it makes him feel human :,(

has never worn skinny jeans in his life

and never will.

has to help sirius tie a tie for events (weddings etc)

no allergies but pretends to be allergic to tree nuts because he just hates them and he doesn’t want to seem picky

chocolate cake is his favourite (to eat and to make)

chocoholic

doesn’t really like champagne all that much but he drinks it to feel posh

sirius was the first person he was properly attracted to, not just based on looks

hates slughorn.

likes his name but prefers “moons” or “moony” usually

always twirling his wand or tapping his feet

fidgeting all the time

cisgender but prefers he/they

I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS

ok so trans!neville and he is so scared to come out to his friends because all his life he’s been told by his gran that he’s a sweet little girl

so he doesn’t tell anyone until one day he meets remus lupin, his third year dada teacher.

late as usual neville rushes into the room, an apology on the tip of his tongue, when professor lupin goes “hi! if you don’t mind me asking, what are your pronouns? oh and a name would be helpful as well”

he is so shocked he can barely respond.

“that’s ok, maybe we can talk privately, after class. is that alright?” neville just nods and slips into his seat

at the end of the lesson remus beckons him over. “so, i never got your name”

“yes professor, um i just- i,” he really hadn’t thought enough about how to word this “i haven’t told anyone this but, i think i might be transgender” neville looks down in shame, tears brimming at the corners of his eyes

“oh, that’s ok! that must have been hard for you to tell me, i’m very proud of you. so, what pronouns would you prefer me to use?”

he’s shocked for a moment as he looks up into his professors kind, gentle eyes, before taking a deep shaky breath and saying, “he/him. yes i prefer he/him” confirming it more to himself than anyone else

this was his first time saying it out loud before. it felt so good. he felt on top of the fucking world.

“that’s great! unfortunately, i’m still short of your name”

“oh, yes, sorry professor. neville. i’m neville longbottom.”

“well it was nice to meet you neville. now, i believe you have a few people you might want to speak to” remus points behind him to the door where his friends are standing wide eyed.

“i’m sorry. i understand if you don’t want to be my friends anymore but, i don’t feel like a girl, i never have”

“neville why would think that! of course we want to be friends with you.”

“neville?”

“yeah, of course.”

and then he realises he has some amazing friends and a pretty amazing defense against the dark arts teacher too.

Not to make everything Wolfstar but this is Sirius bringing Remus his lunch at Hogwarts.

had to act normal today when my friend said 'that werewolf professor from harry potter'

imagine proffesor!remus' students' happiness when they find out he actually has a boyfriend and not a wife and three kids

yes i love remus lupin but even more than that i love professor lupin

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

The first thing I remember about this book is that I was wondering what could happen next in Harry’s, Ron’s and Hermione’s lives this year, without Voldemort. The return of Voldemort in Year One and Two was a fluke, a coincidence, surely he wouldn’t be returning a third year, and for the most part, he didn’t. Voldemort’s lack of presence is also why this book is one of the most fun books in the series. While we’ve gotten a bit more used to magic, we get to see our trio start become teenagers (sigh, Hermione and Ron) and are generally having fun and goofing around as for the most part, there isn’t anything hanging over their heads—at least not at the level of their first two years at Hogwarts.

Similarly to a lack of Voldemort, I had in my head the possibility that Professor Lupin would stick it out more; he knew what he was talking about and the students adored him, so why not? Then!! Hagrid as a teacher, marvellous. While I don’t understand why we never got confirmation of Hagrid being able to use magic, him getting some of his life back and getting to teach at Hogwarts greatly improved his life and was well deserved, he would never have everything he deserved (lack of bigotry, a family of his own), but this was a great step, a comfort, and something that I know made him really, really happy.

On the other hand, this year wasn’t all sunshine, we started to see more darkness. Expanding from Hermione being called a Mudblood, Hagrid was insulted as a teacher, Buckbeak was sentenced to be executed, Dementors existed, and we learned more in-depth about the Azkaban prison that Hagrid was sent to the year prior (possibly also a reason why he was permitted to be a teacher, an apology from a world that had done him so much wrong). But while this year wasn’t great, it wasn’t not-great because of Harry and so there was a bit of a sigh of relief, until that awful night that really changed everything even more than we realized at the time.

There is both good and bad during Year Three, at all different levels; the best? Harry finds an elder he can really see and count as family, whose only allegiance is to him; the worst? Harry doesn’t get to have him, share him, use him. There is also a lot of growth for the trio as they learn more about their friendship with each other (Ron and Harry v. Hermione) and themselves (Ron and Harry v. Hermione, Hermione and the time-turner and Hermione and Buckbeak--> how did Trelawney miss that future!?) along with the reminders to us that, life simply is not just or fair, but that we should try to do what we can to make it so.
