The Sun and Her Moon- Remus Lupin

I like to think we make an excellent pair

Some people believed in fate. The stars aligned, and that everyone had a destiny carved out for them. Even it was small and mudane, the universe had control.  Aveline Rosier always considered herself one of those people. That no matter how hard it got, the universe had a plan.

She trusted the universe, she really did. Though she couldn't help but question it.

Question why it had given Aveline blood to share with some of the most horrible people she ever met. And she also wanted to question why, that as much as she tried too, she couldn't rid her heart of the love she had for them.

"You'll catch a cold like that."

Aveline didn't even have to turn around to know who it was. She was sitting on top of the astronomy tower in nothing but her white school shirt to fend her from the winter air.

She felt a blanket being dropped over her shoulders, and she turned her head to see Remus. Giving her a sly smile before looking up at the stars.

Her relationship with Remus had never been so much better and so much worse at the same time. Without even really saying much, in the past year the two had gone from childhood best friends to something evidently more.

She knew this because none of her friends held her the way Remus did, and none of them sent shivers down her spine like him either.

What she felt for him was a longing that had been growing in her chest since the moment she met him, except now it was finally coming to the surface.

It was electric, extraordinary— every single english adjective to describe something that made her feel out of this world.

It was him— his smile, his eyes, his touch, his laugh— that made her questioning of the universe seem a little less relevant. For if it could bring her Remus Lupin, they had to be doing at least something right.

They hadn't ever talked about it, but it was impossible this connection was one sided.

A love this deep couldn't be unrequited. It was the connection of two souls reaching for eachother to become one.

The problem was though, they both were incredibly young.

So young, that neither even understood how they were supposed to explain what they felt for one another.

Though as Aveline set her head on his shoulder, and without saying anything he pulled her into his side, it sure did feel like some sort of unspoken confession.

That not matter, he had her And she had him.

"How was your christmas?" she asked, looking up to see his face.

The full moon had been over the holidays, and he was sporting a bright new scratch running across face. She could tell it bothered him — he would try to make his hair flip down across his forehead, and
kept his head hanging low down.

"The usual," he shrugged. "A whole lot of hot chocolate and listen to my mom rant about the consumerism of the holidays."

Remus rolled his eyes lightly and Aveline giggled.

"How is Hope?" she asked.

Though Aveline had only met Remus's parents briefly on the platform on occasion, she absolutely adored them both. The first time she met Hope the woman didn't even hesitate to pull Aveline into a tight hug, immediately telling her how happy she was that her son had friends. Every christmas without fail she always baked a ton of muggle goods for Aveline, and would always force a blushing and embarrassed Remus to give it to her.
