Imagines- Harry Potter

My Girl | R.L

Request (from Tumblr): I am scared of the dark, but I also find solace in it by roaming around and being myself. I feel like the best person to be with in the dark would be remus (it's always him lmao) he would be the bet person whose arms would be keeping me safe from my biggest fear.

Hogwarts at night was always so gorgeous. The way the candles lit up the castle and how the moonlight flooded in through the windows. It brought solace to many, but it always left a lingering hesitation of what could be lingering in the dark.

Perhaps it could be a monster like those books muggles read to their children at night. Or maybe it's the lingering thought of the unknown that haunted people. Regardless, the dark was good and evil.

Y/n could always be found roaming around the castle at night. It brought her a form of relaxation, and after a complex potions exam, she needed it. But sometimes, her mind would overanalyze things, making her believe that something was there when it wasn't or making her think that something was out to get her.

Curfew was way over, and prefects patrolled the corridors. Suddenly the dark brought a sudden shiver up Y/n's spine. She could've sworn she just saw someone skitter around the corner. She jumped again when she heard something hit a window that definitely wasn't a tree.

She sat on a windowsill, knees to her chest, hoping that someone would find her to take her out of this dark abyss. Remus - her boyfriend - usually came with her on these nights, but his prefect duty was now catching up to him after so many nights of not doing it.

Remus always had the map on hand when Prongs didn't have it, which was almost zero, but Remus was the one who started it. Curious, he opened the map in a bathroom, claiming to his prefect partner that he was "checking the bathroom for students" when really he was seeing what his girlfriend was up to. He saw her in a corridor that was three hallways down, not moving.

He swiped the map back into his pocket, thinking that maybe the Slytherins had gotten to her, and walked out of the bathroom. Remus told his partner that he thought he left something in a former corridor, so he left. Five minutes later, he saw his girlfriend curled up in a hall on the windowsill, rocking herself.

Gently he approached her and called for her, "Honey?"

Y/n turned quick as lightning, relaxing when it was only Remus, "Rem, hey."

"Hey, love. What's going on here?" He took a seat at the other end of the windowsill.

"Jus' got scared."

"Scared?" Remus questioned softly, taking one of her hands in his, "What scared you?"

She fiddled with his hand, "The dark."

"Sorry I didn't hear you?"

"The dark."

Remus smiled sweetly and collected her into his arms. She was sitting on one of his thighs while her legs were thrown on the other side of him, cradling her like a small child. He pressed a small kiss to her forehead as she nuzzled into his neck.

His hand ran through her silky tresses, "I love you, you know that?"

"Mhm." She hummed, "Love you too, Rem."

"You wanna go to the dorm and sleep?"

"Yes, please."

He chuckled, "Anything for my girl."
