A Book And A Boy ( Young Remus X Reader )

Lost Love

(Y/N POV)

My words hung heavy in the air as I looked at him. He looked different, but it was not unsettling. He was still beautiful and mature with age. His rugged face grew frozen with shock. He stumbled slightly at the movement of my hand reaching out towards him.

His eyes were full of weary. "It can't be".

Hermione stepped in eagerly. "Professor Lupin please, she's here to help us". She pleaded with him.

"Y/n". Remus looked at me with such sadness, and regret.

"I know". I stared at him nodding slowly. "I know". I in fact did not know.

I had no idea what I was doing, or what would happen next. But I knew he was the key to everything.

Harry was next to add on. "She can change everything. She can go back".

"She has a time turner!" Ron expressed almost to happily for the mood.

"We just need to know the truth". Hermione spoke.

"All of it". I finished.

He took a silent moment to process all of this information. He must of felt that he was going mad.

Harry pulled out his copy of the map. "Pettigrew is alive. I saw his name on the map and-"The map never lies". Remus finished. He seemed to be coming back. Harry nodded in response. "And your absolutely sure". Remus said sternly, and Harry nodded just as seriously.

"But he's supposed to be dead". Hermione continued. "And we have no idea as to why or how he died". Her voice was matter of factly.

"You we're a part of the order". I spoke up. "You must know the truth". My voice was understanding.

He nodded as he walked over to a table at the front of the room, resting on the edge. "Peter was our friend, I have no Idea how this is possible but-" He sighed shaking his head deep in thought. "All they could ever find of him was one of his fingers".

I bit my lip in wonder. Harry, Ron, and Hermione all sat listening intensely.

"He was murdered my Black in the middle of a muggle suburb, everyone including the muggles were killed in a mass explosion caused by Black". He explained. It was our missing piece. But Remus seemed to grow darker. "You all must leave now". He stated, though when he looked at me it felt as if he wanted me to stay.

"But professor-" Harry argued.

"You have a match to play Harry, McGonagal told me that your new fire bolt is safe to use".

"But we still have questions-" Hermione added.

"They can be answered later". Remus stood, as if to walk us out. So we followed.

The others walked out defeated, I felt the same but something pulled me to him. I wrapped my arms around Remus' torso. I felt him tense, but soon softened.

"I'm sorry". I said as I released him. "I'm gonna do everything that I can".

"I'm sorry too". He said sadly, before shutting the door in front of me, leaving me in the hallway.

It was freezing as Ron, Hermione, and I stood in the crowd on the quidditch pitch. The cold March breeze blew over the crowd as I huddled with Hermione in a blanket.

"It's just bloody amazing isn't it?" Ron glowered over Harry's broom as he zoomed passed where we stood in the stands.

"Honestly Ron?" Hermione seemed annoyed. I still think it's dangerous". She stated with a dissatisfaction in her tone.
