Y/N has observed that her best buddy, Remus Lupin, has been acting strangely recently. He hasn't been himself, which makes her nervous.
She looks up from her table to see Remus staring off into space. Fear is an expression she hasn't seen him wear before. But what did he have to be terrified of?
It was time for everyone to leave their dinners and return to their dorms. Remus was lost in meditation and didn't notice everyone standing up till Sirius, his best mate for Godrick knows how long, lightly bump his shoulder, bringing Remus away from his thoughts.
Y/N, unable to contain her curiosity, reaches out to him. "Remus!" She yells when she sees him preparing to leave.
He comes to a halt as he sees his best friend from Gryffindor racing up to him with a smile. When he sees her, he gets a nice feeling inside. Yes, Remus had been in love with her since the second year, but she had no idea.
"Walk and talk?" She questioned, motioning towards them.
"Sure -- I'll see you later, Sirius," Remus remarked, smiling slightly as he walks with Y/N.
There was a thick quiet between them, which appeared to be exceedingly tight. Y/N suspects something is up with Remus but is unsure how to express it.
"I couldn't help but notice that you haven't been yourself." Finally, Y/N speaks to him, just having him look at her from the corner of his eye.
"I guess we can say that." With a small shrug, he says. Remus follows Y/n's identical movement as she comes to a halt. She examines his face and notices that he has little bags under his eyes as if he hasn't slept in days. His hair was unkempt and not in its regular well-kept appearance.
"Remus... I know something is wrong with you. Please tell me, I'll do everything I can to confront you or help you through whatever it is, just please tell me." She peered into his eyes when she said this, looking for something.
Tears fill up in his eyes, but he tries hard not to let them fall. "I-I wish I could tell you, but I'm not sure how." He says this while looking down at the floor.
"Remus, please tell me anything; I've been your best friend since the first year," Y/N murmured as she pressed her hand on his cheek, forcing him to tilt his head slightly to feel the warmth of her hand.
"This is Y/N. It's why I've been so aloof from you." As more tears fell, he said. He was doing his best not to cry.
"What exactly is it?" She questioned him with sincerity in her voice.
Remus started to explain the whole situation with him being a werewolf. Scared that his best friend would become afraid of him.
"Oh, poor Remus." He was weeping his eyes out into Y/N's shoulder in an embrace at this moment.
"I'm sorry, Y/N, I never meant to hurt you." He sobbed even more into her shoulder.
"Remus, be quiet. It's okay... you're not alone." She spoke into his ear. Remus drew back, tears streaming down his cheeks as he cast a doubtful glance at Y/N.
"What?" He said this as he stared at the girl he loved, puzzled.
"I'm one of them, too." As she stared into his eyes, she said.
He embraced her tightly as she began to cry on his shoulder. "I'm scared, Remus." She murmured this as she gripped him even tighter.
"I understand, love; I am as well." He reassured her that she was not alone in her fear.
"I l-l-love you." She murmured this to him as she drew back slightly and kissed his lips passionately and slowly.
Remus's body was shocked, but it quickly evolved into a loving emotion as he kissed her back, gripping onto her waist lightly as if she would break beneath his touch.
The feeling they both had as they proceeded to kiss is best described as "fireworks." Pulling apart, they put their foreheads on each other, catching their breaths and smiling.
"We're in this together, good and bad," Remus said to Y/N as he kissed her on the lips.
"Always." She mentioned it during the kiss.
They continued to stroll together, holding hands. "Be mine?" The question was thrown up in the air, leaving Y/N embarrassed and crimson.
"A-are you serious?" Y/N inquired.
"Of course I am," I say. I adore you and have been in love with you since the first year. Merlin, believe me, I wouldn't be here asking you to be mine if I didn't want you. With a lovely smirk on his face, he said.
"I'm guessing you wouldn't," Y/N said, giggling slightly at the end.
"Would you be mine now?" He asked her again, this time holding both of her hands.
"Yes, a billion times yes." She said this while grinning from ear to ear.
Remus's smile widened even more now that he knew the love of his life was finally his. He grabs her waist and lifts her into the air as he twirls her around.
Squeals and laughter escape Y/N's lips as she realizes she has finally gotten the person she loves the most by her side for the rest of her life.
"Let's go to my room and sleep," Remus remarked as they approached his Prefect room.
