"Remus!" you exclaimed as you ran to catch up with your best friend the day after the match.

The boy turned around and a smile formed on his face as he saw you running his way. "Yeah?"

You said nothing at first, just pulled him in for a hug, he was a bit startled by the move, but he soon hugged you back. "Why did you do that, hm? That really wasn't needed..."

"What do you mean?" he asked once you both let go.

"Why did you have to hurt Nott to defend me? You know that's not needed," you mumbled, looking him in the eyes, but he looked down.

"He hurt you, Y/n/n, I –" Remus sighed and looked away from you. "– I couldn't help it."

"And I find it nice that you wanted to do something to defend me. Really! I find that really nice of you... but landing yourself in detention?" you said as the two of you began walking in the direction of the dungeons.

The boy shrugged and stayed silent.

"Can I be honest with you?"

"Of course," your sandy haired best friend responded, looking your way.

You diverted your y/e/c eyes to in front of you. "I was certain that Potter or Black or maybe both had done it... they didn't seem surprised when it happened."

Remus stayed silent as his cheeks turned a deep scarlet.

"Remus?" a knowing look was plastered on your face as you glanced at him. "Something you have to tell me?"

"N-no!" he said all too quickly.

"Are you sure?"

"Mhm!" he finished, his voice a higher pitch than usual.

"Hmm..." you squinted your eyes at him, knowing something was up, but decided to just let it be. "– okay."

You continued walking, but Remus was clearly worked up about something.

You clutched your cauldron with your books and equipment in it tighter as you slowly turned your head to him.

"Remus... are you sure there's nothing wr–"

"– Okay! Maybe I wasn't the one who actually did it, James and Sirius indeed do it, but I made the plan. I actually wasn't planning on helping in this thing, but they kept begging me, bringing you into this. Once you were brought into this I couldn't stop myself from helping. I couldn't leave you undefended, right? But I swear I didn't drug Nott! I –" he rambled in one breath.
