When 23 year old Cordelia (Delia) Scamander, the granddaughter of Newt and Tina Scamander, gets a job at Hogwarts for being a study- period teacher, she meets Remus Lupin the new DADA teacher, her life will never be normal.
Prisoner of Azkaban Era
...
Remus and Delia stay quiet for a moment until she has an idea.
"Remus, I can make you wolfsbane!" Delia says excitedly.
"No, Snape is already making me it."
"You really trust him ?" Delia raises her eyebrows at Remus who coughs a laugh. "I am brilliant at potions and during my free periods I could work on it!"
"That is awfully kind, but you don't need to do that. You have already accepted me as the monster I am and that is too much to ask for."
"Remus, if you call yourself a monster one more time I will personally hex you."
"But I am a monster!" Remus stands up yelling.
"I am not having this argument. Sit down." Remus listens and sits back down on the couch. "I will make it from now on. Tell Snape he is no longer needed." Delia twitches at the word Snape but quickly shakes it off.
"Thank you Delia!" He stands to leave and Delia gets up after him.
"It's my pleasure." Delia walks him out and he waves as he walks down the corridors.
Just as Delia reenters her room, a brown owl came swooping in through the window with a letter. She walks over and hands the owl a treat and grabs the letter. The letter is marked from Ben Hill...

Delia reads his letter and quickly responds with an answer. She laughs at the old nicknames. Delia sends the brown owl back to Ben with a new letter attached. Delia heads for bed after realizing it is already 1 am.

November, 1993- Hogwarts
In early November, Delia is excited to see Ben again. So is Professor Sprout because that's all they seemed to talk about.
Remus and Delia got closer and closer. With the full moon coming up on the 29th, they worked together to make the wolfsbane potion. Well it was mainly Delia making it while Remus graded papers. They seemed to like to work like that, in peace with a few comments from Remus about what students wrote on their essays.
If they weren't teaching, patrolling, or dealing with werewolf issues, they were together. Remus and Delia ate breakfast and lunch in her room and dinner in the Great Hall together, they graded papers together, they would read together. Remus would help her write her books by doing extra research.
Everyone seemed to notice this. McGonagall would smile their way and Sprout would even wink (which Delia would roll her eyes at).
On November 11th, Remus met up with Delia outside of her classroom.
"Hey Delia, are you ready to go?" Delia nods and they start towards the Great Hall. Remus glances around nervously before turning back to Delia. "Hey I need to ask you something."
"Yes?"
"Do you want to go to Hogsmeade this weekend with me?" Remus spills out quickly.
Delia's face brightens up and smiles, "I would love to! Saturday?"
"Uh- yes! Saturday it is." Remus stutters nervously at the girl who is beaming, her eyes lit up. He couldn't help but notice her dimples when she smiled, her brown eyes that shine when the sun hits them, her long brown hair that seemed to stay perfectly wavy. She was perfect. He noticed these things before, but when she said yes to Hogsmeade, these things seemed to stand out more.
"Brilliant! I can't wait, lets go to the Great Hall before we are late though." They get to the Great Hall just in time as students start to file in for dinner.
Remus and Delia could not stop smiling at each other the whole time. Pomona slides Minerva a couple sickles and a galleon across the table which makes Dumbledore laugh. The other two didn't seem to notice the bet placed between the teacher as they continue eating and talking.
Delia couldn't help but admire Remus as they talked. He was handsome in a charming but humble way. His scars somehow made him better looking and his light blue eyes that shone when he brought up certain topics. He was perfect in her eyes and she didn't know how much his smile brought joy to her until today.
She was so excited for this weekend. Tomorrow Ben was coming to Hogwarts for the week and that weekend she was going on a "date" to Hogsmeade with Remus. Life couldn't seem to get better.

A/N-
This is kind of a short filler chapter. I haven't had much time to write because of school and theatre.
I am writing a James Potter fanfic right now, but it needs a LOT of editing. Hopefully I can get a chapter posted this today so you all can check it out!
I am freaking out by the amount of reads I have recently been getting, thank you all sooooooo much!!!!! It honestly makes me so happy.
