Bubblegum ➳ Remus Lupin

[07.] Give Her The World

SIRIUS COULDN'T believe how much of a bloody idiot his friend Remus was. He and probably everyone else in Gryffindor knew that Remus and Violet fancied one another. The fate of their destiny all depended on Remus who still had to ask Violet to be his girlfriend. Or it could also be held against Violet who could just use her Gryffindor courage and ask Remus instead. But knowing them, Sirius was certain neither of them were going to make a move. So he knew he had to take matters into his own hands. 

"Prongs, you have to help me." 

"If this is about helping you get with Marlene, then no, I refuse to embarrass myself in front of my Lilyflower again just to help your arse." 

"No! This is much more important right now. You have to help me get Moony and Violet together." Sirius sat down next to James and pulled out his piece of rolled up parchment. 

IDEAS ON HOW TO GET OUR HANDSOME WEREWOLF MOONY TO DATE AND FALL IN LOVE WITH THE VERY SMART AND HOT VIOLET EVANS (AND THEY WILL MAKE BEAUTIFUL RED HAIR WEREWOLF BABIES THAT WILL TAKE AFTER THEIR MUM BECAUSE COME ON, MOONY DOESNT HAVE MUCH TO OFFER)

1. Make Violet or Moony jealous. Either works, won't mind snogging either of them. 

2. Play a game of truth or dare, or seven minutes in heaven. (make sure to invite enough people)

3. Look them up in a broom closet or dorm room together. (then they will snog and live happily ever after)

4. Give Violet a love potion (she will kill us after but she'll thank us after)

5. force them into a corridor and leave them to snog. (while prongs and I watch on from under the invisibility cloak) 

6. Just get the girls to help us (aka. annoying Alice, beautiful Marley and James' future wife; lily) 

James furrowed his eyebrows as he read over them, and then he grinned. "If we get the girls to help, I'll get to spend time with my Lilyflower." 

"I personally like the idea of giving her a love potion." 

"Are you wishing upon a death wish Padfoot? Once it wears off, she'll have our heads." 

"That's a risk I'm willing to take for Moony." Sirius took the parchment back, and he rolled it up. 

"Let's go find Moony." 

-

"I don't know whether to be offended or not." Remus spoke as he read what was in parenthesis after the very smart and hot Violet Evans. 

Sirius scoffed. "You should be grateful you get a girl like Violet. If she wasn't so into you, I would've snatched her myself." 

Remus glared at him and smacked him upside the head. "I would shut my mouth if I were you Padfoot. Violet deserves someone who can give her the world. Not someone who will ruin her." 

This time Sirius smacked him. "Well news flash Remus, Violet doesn't want the world. She wants your bloody love." 

James nodded. "I agree with Padfoot on this one Moony. I'm so certain that she would be pleased and happy with what you could give her, than with a man who could give her the world." 

Remus groaned. "Are you guys forgetting that its not so simple? I'm going to ruin her life! My furry little problem will stop me from being able to treat her like the queen she is. Who says that we won't get together while at Hogwarts, but break up right after we graduate because I couldn't afford to give her what she deserved?" 

James and Sirius remained silent as Remus continued to rant. "I'm so infatuated with her, that it bloody hurts me! If I were to date her, which I really want to do, I want us to last. I don't want Violet and I to just be a school fling. I've come to the point where I can say that I'm so deeply in love with her. She makes me feel like I've never felt before and if being with her makes me feel like that, then I want to stay with her. I want us to date so then we can get married and have kids, and then I'll know that she's mine forever. I want to be so selfish and keep her to myself, but I can't do that. I can't find myself doing that to her. She deserves to be treated like an angel, like she's the most beautiful thing in the world. She needs to find a wizard that will give her everything she asks for and will be with her everyday. Someone who will love her with every last bit of fiber in his body. Violet deserves to be with a man who will never let her down and who will love her more than I ever could. And as much as I hate to face it, I know I'm not that man. I'll never be able to give her everything she wants without disappointing her, or myself." 

By the end of his speech, Remus voice cracked and he found tears welling up in his eyes. He didn't cry. No, especially not in front of his two best mates. He quickly looked down and wiped the tears away before they rolled down his cheeks. 

"You're right Moony. She deserves to be loved and treated like the angel she is." James finally spoke. "And knowing how smart you are, it annoys me how much of a bloody idiot you are. The only person who can love her like that is you. No one else. Just you Remus." 

"What part of I'm going to ruin her life don't you get Prongs? I'm a bloody werewolf for Merlin's sake! Once she finds out what kind of monster I am, she'll never want to see me again." 

Sirius glared at him as he forced Remus to look at him. "Prongs is right, Moony. You're a bloody idiot sometimes. Are you forgetting that Violet just happens to be one of the brightest students in this lousy school? That she's literally the smartest person in this century? I'm pretty sure that she already knows about your furry little problem! She's not stupid! And if you don't remember, she actually nearly confronted you about it the same day you asked her why she's always chewing bubblegum. Violet actually asked you why you're disappearing every full moon. She's made the connections Remus. She knows what you are." 

James nodded. "And she confronted you way before she kissed you. Even after that, she still wants to be with you. Violet doesn't care that you're a werewolf. You're still the same Remus she fancies, Moony. If she doesn't care, why should you?"
