Harry Potter ❥ IMAGINES

Remus x Reader (Arithmancy)

 You rubbed your eyes wearily, hunched over an elegantly glossed study desk. Your room was pitch black save for the nearly melted candle illuminating your arithmancy textbook. "Lucky twats." You muttered at your bunkmates, who were all lazily snoring in their beds. You yawned as you glossed over the text, trying to ignore the clock ticking nearer and nearer to 4 in the morning. I think it's time for me to get some bloody sleep. I'll just study again in the morning, yeah...

You stood up and picked up your textbook. Before you closed it, a note dropped from one of the pages onto the floor. Curious, you picked it up. You peeled off the maroon seal and read over the note.

(Y/N),

You've been working awfully hard all week for this arithmancy exam. It hurts to see you in such a state. I was going to offer to take you out to get your mind off of it, but I know you wouldn't want to disappoint your parents. Bloody terrible that you don't even like about arithmancy. Anyways, come to my common room at 2, and I'll help you study.

-Rem

"Remus, I love you so much." You whispered and uncontrollably grinned. You've fancied this boy for years now, and his caring personality drove you crazy. Jumping into bed, you stared at the ceiling and sighed, determined to catch some sleep before you meet him.

It was fifteen past 2, so you were late as usual. You strolled into the Gryffindor common room, heading over to Remus on the couch while Sirius and James wailed over Potions on the rug. "Thanks for meeting me, (Y/N)." "Course! I'm damn horrid at math, so I need all the help I can get." Remus laughed, and you sat down next to him.

You two spent quite a while pouring over the number charts, with Remus explaining topics with almost annoying ease and you groaning after every essay question. "Bloody hell! I've had to go through this crap in Muggle school, and now here?"

Remus softened up, seeing your frustrated eyes almost tearing up and your pouting lip. You slightly quivered, trying your hardest not to break down into a ball of stress and tears in front of your crush. He quieted down and took your hand gently, sending up shocks of calmness and fire all at once. His touch soothed you, but also made your heart race with adrenaline.

"I- I'm sorry, Rem. I just... I've gotten so much pressure from my parents to excel in this subject, they're bloody professors in it, but I just can't get any concepts through this stupid brain of mine." You clenched and unclenched your jaw, feeling slightly better from getting your emotions out.

His hold on your hand softly tightened. "(Y/N), I understand, I really do. No matter how hard we want to exceed in every class, that's just not possible. It's ok to not understand sometimes, but I'll do everything in my power to help you ace this exam." You stilled at his words, heart hammering with love. In the spur of the moment, you leaned in. You squeezed his hand this time as your lips met his. He melted into it, heat passing through the both of you. It's as if your lips were meant for each other, they just fit so perfectly.

He breathed deeply, and you leaned back, smiling at him. "Well, now I don't even want to learn Arithmancy right now." You said softly. "Neither do I." He said back, matching your tone. "He'd rather learn some human anatomy right now." Sirius called out from across the room, making James snort and you and Remus blush scarlet.

I think this is one of my favorites that I've written, but then again I just love the Mauraders... I hope you enjoyed it too, and if you did, please leave a vote! Any comments for future one shots is highly appreciated! *Uploads will now be Fridays and Mondays* See you in the next~
