Remus Lupin/ HP one shots

when the wolves come out🕸

Remus had always been different. I knew that from the moment I met him back in the fourth year of Hogwarts, it had its moments. He was my teacher, but I had also the biggest crush on him, there was rumours that he was married, but I guess I didn't care about that, Harry and the others warned me, they told me he was my teacher, I had to be careful. I was, but a part of me had always crushed hard on that man. We had some free time, so I decided to go on a walk around the Forbidden forest, it helped me think when I was alone, I shouldn't be here at night, it was raining, dark and just freezing, but I needed time to think things through, I wasn't really sure what I was doing, it was the final year at Hogwarts and I couldn't see myself leaving, I wanted to stay, I wanted this to be forever. I heard a wolf howl in the distance, in the woods. "You have got to be kidding me." I whisper, I turn, it was a full moon. Shit. The rumours went around school that there was a werewolf, it stalked the grounds at night and killed whatever it found, like a serial killer stalking its victims until they had no one else to kill. It did scare me, but I knew that it was just rumours. I grab my wand, as I head into the forest, I could barely see, so I cast the spell so I have a light. "Lumos." I whisper, as the light filled the forest, as I move my wand, I couldn't really see much, just mud, trees and some small animals, usually rabbits or whatever. I heard growling behind me, when I froze.

"Don't freak out." I whisper, as I slowly turn to see what I had prayed I'd never see. "Holy- shit." It was a werewolf. A full blown wolf. I felt like I couldn't breathe, it wasn't real. It couldn't be real. But, those eyes. I knew those eyes anywhere. It growled at me, "No- no, you can't." I whisper, as the rain began to fall lightly, I step back, as I recognise those eyes. "Remus?" It stopped, as it suddenly turned and ran off into the woods, my heart dropped. Remus was a werewolf. I knew his eyes. I couldn't ever forget those eyes. "Shit." I quickly turn and leave the forest as quickly as I can, before I got caught by a teacher. The next morning, I woke up and since I didn't have classes today, I decided to go on a walk, just to clear my head from the following night. I leave my dorm room, when I saw Remus staring at me from across the way. My eyes widen, before I turn and walk the other way, I couldn't look at him the same way, I was seriously going to lose my shit if I was right. I couldn't be right, I knew that. It was just a coincidence. It had to be, didn't it? "Y/n." He was following me, so I turn off, as I lean against the back wall, no one ever came here. "Yes, professor?" I had to act natural, I couldn't tell him what I knew. "What was that about? Why did you run?" He crossed his arms, as he leaned back. "I didn't run. I have stuff to do today, like.. see my friends. Harry and the others are waiting for me, you see." I look down. "Y/n, you need to be more mindful of the forest. I saw you wandering.. and I know you get curious.. please be more careful." He turned to leave, "I know it was you. I know your secret, Remus. And don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Or maybe I don't need to, since all the teachers in-" he cut me off. "I shall remind you to lower your tone with me, Miss (surname)." He snapped, his eyes boring into mine. I take a breath, as how close he was to me. "Professor." I glared, before I turn and walk away, as I felt his eyes on my back as I left, I took a deep breath, I knew that I had to be more careful now. He was onto me.

"What happened? Where were you?" Hermione caught up to me, as Remus turned and walked the opposite way. "I saw a werewolf last night.. in the woods." I whisper, she frowned. "You- are you sure?" She pulled me to one side, so no one listened to us. "I'm sure. Hermione- it was Remus. Professor Lupin. He's a werewolf. I saw him. I knew his eyes- he didn't hurt me.. he protected me." I told her, she believed me, I saw it in her eyes. "I knew something was weird about him." She hugged me, "I'm so glad you're okay." I smile a bit. "Always. I'll just be more careful next time." I sighed, as we both head off to find Harry and Ron in the common room. Remus was playing on my mind, I was so distracted and it made me dizzy with worry. What would I do with this information? Would the others even believe me?  "Hey, y/n.. we're all going to spy on Lupin tonight.. try and get some more information on the wolf incident. You in?" Ron asked. "I'm so in."

"Let's go catch us a werewolf."
