Marauders x Reader One Shots

Amortentia - Moony

  This one's a little shorter. Regardless, I hope you enjoy it.

Enjoy ;)

You and Remus were known as the 'sensible Marauders'. You were the ones who would convince James and Sirius to tone down the pranks if the ideas got a bit too much. You were the ones who could be found studying together in the Library late in the evenings.

It was safe to say Remus was your best friend. The two of you couldn't have been more compatible. James and Sirius always teased the two of you, saying you should just start dating already. The sad thing was, you would like nothing more, but Remus didn't seem to feel the same.

It was fine, you told yourself. If he only saw you as a friend then you would be his friend. There was no sense in ruining the friendship if it could be avoided.

So you stayed silent when James and Sirius teased you two. You let Remus deny it as you kept your mouth shut, rolling your eyes at the boys when it was necessary and not paying much attention to Remus' reaction.

Until today.

You sat next to him in most classes, seeing as James and Sirius liked to scheme together during class time and you and Remus had gotten tired of their constant letter passing.

That specific Potions lesson you were learning about Amortentia. When Professor Slughorn took the lid off of the bubbling potion, the whole room gasped.

"It smells so good!" one girl exclaimed.

"That's because it smells like your favourite fragrance," Professor Slughorn said, chuckling.

"I don't smell anything," you whispered to Remus in confusion, missing the look he sent you. Which was odd, as for the rest of the day you were extra aware of Remus. And he seemed to be aware of you too. Or, at least you thought.

In History of Magic you tucked your hair behind your ear and gave a little sigh through your mouth. You could've sworn you saw him gulp out of the corner of your eye.

Deciding to test your theory, you 'accidentally' pressed your leg against his in Transfiguration. His ears went red.

Then, in Muggle Studies, you undid your ponytail, letting your (h/c) hair fall down your shoulders. His eyes flickered between you and the Professor for the rest of the lesson.

That afternoon after the last class, you and Remus walked to the Library together to study like always.

Feeling bad for confusing him with your female features, you decided to drop the experiment for today.

It was about an hour into your homework when you got stuck on a question. Sighing in frustration you bit your lip.

Your sigh made Remus look up in concern but he froze when his eyes narrowed in on the way you bit your lip.

"Stop it," he growled, blinking rapidly and shaking his head to snap himself out of it.

You looked up at him in confusion, "Stop what?"

The way you looked at him so innocently with your big (e/c) eyes sent him over the edge, "Stop being so damn adorable! It's distracting!"

You blinked at him slowly, processing what he said, before blushing, "Y-you think I'm adorable?"

He gulped at the sight of your flushed face, "Yes! And it's driving me nuts because I can't concentrate on anything else! Every time I close my eyes I see your face! My dreams are full of you!"

"Wait," you said slowly, "Your dreams too? So this has been going on before today?"

He sighed, running a hand through his hair, "Yes. It's been going on for a while. I think..." he trailed off, suddenly nervous, "I think I'm falling in love with you and that terrifies me."

You tried to hide your grin. Key word: tried.

"It terrifies you?" you asked, biting your lip in an attempt to tame the smile taking over your face.

He blinked, tearing his way from your lip, "Well, yes. Because I'm dangerous, and the more you mean to me the more danger you're in."

You sighed, getting up and pulling him up with you, "You are not dangerous. The wolfsbane potion keeps Moony calm and I have an animagus form, remember? As long as I don't turn into a human while your friend comes out I'll be fine."

He looked down at you, "Y-you're taking this rather well."

You smiled and leaned in to whisper in his ear, "That's because, Moony, I love you too."

He smiled and pulled you into a kiss, wrapping his arms around your waist.

You pulled away much sooner than you wanted, but being in a Library wasn't exactly ideal for this.

"You realise Pads and Prongs aren't going to shut up about this," you said, intertwining your fingers with his.

He put his arm around your shoulder and kissed the top of your head, "I know, but it's way worth it."

And done! Short and sweet.
Thanks for reading ;)
