TW - Rape/Sexual assault

Remus woke after it was dark. The dorm was quiet, which was unusual for their dorm, and Remus, who normally begged the others to shut up so he could read, hated it. He found it eerie. So he took off his robes and put on one of his large knitted jumpers and went down the stairs to the common room, a book in one hand, a bar of his favourite chocolate in the other.

When he entered the common room, a lot of sound waves hit him all at once, and he immediately regretted his decision to leave the silent sanctuary of his empty dorm. 

He spotted Lily Evans rolling her eyes at James in the corner of the room, and Peter laughing his head off behind James. Remus eyes drifted past Peter and saw something that made his heart flutter.

Sirius.

He was back. He was ok. Relief so strong washed over Remus, he felt lightheaded. 

Sirius spotted Remus standing in the doorway, and rushed over to the room and hugged him.

"Apparently you've been moping all day! HA you can't go 12 hours without me!" He teased as he grinned and dragged Remus by the hand over to their favourite squashy sofa by the fire, where James and Peter were sat. 

Remus relaxed onto the chair and smiled. Sirius was staring at him. Remus flushed and became aware of how hot it was in the room.

"I was worried about you! You're an idiot! You can't go 12 hours without ending up in hospital, besides, it was scary to watch!" Remus laughed as he got his book out, turned to the right page and began flitting his eyes across the pages.

Remus was happy. He was warm. He had a book. He had chocolate. He could hear his friends joking around him, making him look up from his book every few pages. Sirius was next to him, resting his leg against Remus'. This was his perfect evening.

And something had to ruin it.

"Hey Remus! I thought you'd forgotten I existed!" Someone said behind him. Remus didn't have to turn to know who it was. 

"Hi Sara," Remus sighed and forced a smile as he put his book down.

She sat down next to Remus and kissed his lips. Sirius muttered something about the bathroom and left the common room.

"I think I left my, um, ink in your room earlier, I think it fell out of my pocket, but your friends wouldn't let me go up." She said, looking coldly at James. 

"Oh, do you want to go grab it, or shall I?" Remus said, standing up and heading to dorm. 

Sara sprung up and followed Remus. "We can both go!"

Remus glanced at James, who shrugged at him.

Sara followed Remus up the spiralling staircase to the boys dorms, until they reached the marauders dorm and went in. Sara shut the door behind Remus, who was looking around his bed for the ink.

"Where did you leave the ink Sara?" Remus turned and ask. He was greeted with a sight that made his stomach drop. Sara was removing her clothes. "What are you doing?" Remus said, eyeing the door, and looking worried.

"Well, you've been forgetting I exist recently, so I thought we could... bond tonight." Sara said, innocently, unbuttoning her shirt and pulling it off to reveal a black lacy bra.

"NO. I mean, no, I'm not ready. Please put your shirt back on. I'm not comfortable." Remus said, sweating and beginning to shake. Sara was stubborn. When she wanted something, she got it.

"Do you not love me Remus?" Sara said, sadly, pouting.

"I do, I just-" Remus began.

"Exactly, so prove it." She said, pulling him towards her and taking off his jumper, and beginning to unbutton his shirt.
