A Book And A Boy ( Young Remus X Reader )

Finals or Finale?

(Y/N POV)

In my dorm I took the locket out of the book and felt cold wash over me as I held it firmly in my hand.

It had energy pulsing through it. Dark energy, I was sure it was a horcrux. It made me wonder how many more there were? or if there even were any more?

I closed my hand over it and walked out of the dorm towards the boys.

I opened the door to see feathers flying around the room, and them all throwing pillows at each other laughing.

I spit out a small feather that landed in my mouth. "Man you guys really are a bunch of girls". I laughed.

"Well girls just wanna have fun-" Sirius was cut off by being smacked in the face by a pillow.

"MY FACE!" He cried from the floor.

I pulled a few feathers out of my hair as my laugh slowly faded into quiet.

The noise of smacking pillows slowly paused, and I could feel the boys staring at me in confusion. They knew something was up.

"Prosper? Are you okay?" James walked up to me, leaning down closer to my level.

I shook my head, I fought my tears back. I didn't want to seem weak.

"I....." I couldn't find words, I felt so much but couldn't explain it. It was already hard enough telling Remus.

At a loss for words I slowly pulled the locket out from under my shirt, presenting it to them.

Remus was staring at the floor. I knew my pain upset him a lot.

The others looked at me in obvious confusion in this situation.

"Remus bought you an ugly necklace, and your sad about it?" Sirius questioned cocking his head to the side.

"What- No?" I finally said shaking my head. "Nothing near that". I sighed in defeat.

"So what is that?" Peter spoke up. I could tell they desperately wanted to know what was going on.

As I drowned in an ocean of my lost words I felt Remus' own pull me back up to the surface.

"It's a horcrux". He spoke bluntly. "Dumbledore gave it to y/n to protect, and it belongs to Voldemort".

The boys jaws were on the floor. They couldn't completely tell if we were joking or not but this wasn't funny and we weren't joking.

"Your serious?" James started with a startled expression.

"No I'm Sirius- "This isn't the time to joke around!" I snapped at him as the room went silent.

"I'm sorry". I quickly spoke. "I did t mean to do that". I swallowed.

"I couldn't keep this a secret from you any longer. It didn't feel right". I explained.

Their faces softened but soon their brows furrowed in confusion.

Sirius spoke first. "So two things. One, why did he already know, and two, what the hell is a horcrux". He crossed his arms.

"I know because she trusts me. Same with all of you". Remus defended me.

"A horcrux is a talismans dark wizards use to put a part of their soul into so that they could never die. And Dumbledore believes this is voldemort's". I finally finished as I unclasped the locket from my neck to hold it in my palm.

"All I know and now you know, is that we have to protect it. All of the wizarding world is in our hands, literally". I let out a small laugh.

"Shit". James said flatly.
