Summary -
Remus walked down the halls oh Hogwarts on that warm day. That warm day things changed for him.
Remus was leaving the library with his hands full books as usual. He walks with Hahahahaha his head slightly down being slightly shy about the scars that coat his beautiful face. His light brown hair falling in his face. As watched the stone floor below him he continued his way to his dormitory. Today seemed just like any other day for Remus. Study go to the library get new books and study in his dormitory. Little did Remus know that was all going to change in a matter of minutes.
Remus walked past the area where students were spraying each other with water to cool down from the heat. Remus wasn't interested in participating in such activities. He wanted to focus on school. As he carried on walking he heard yelling coming from the student filled space. But this wasn't a fun yell. So Remus turned his attention to what was going on. He saw Severus Snape being held back by a group of other Gryffindors. Severus was one of Lily's best friends. They had been friends before Hogwarts and Lily had been quite upset that they hadn't been placed in the same house. But Lily quickly found her way in Gryffindor meeting Remus and becoming friends instantly.
Remus was grateful for Lily. She was kind of all he had apart from his books. She had helped him settle in and helped him with his sexuality issue. Remus had struggled with being gay but was now alright with who he was. And with Lily by his side everything was alright. However Lily and Severus remained friends and hung out together often. And there shouldn't have been a problem with that. But obviously there was. There was a group of Gryffindors that didn't appreciate Lily hanging out with a Slytherin and being friends with one. They would constantly tease Severus in rude ways. Lily would always try to stand up for Severus and their friendship which Remus envied and thought was very brave of her. He only wished he could be that brave sometimes.
It was always the same group. James, Sirius, Peter and a few other assailants. Remus debated walking over to Lily to give some kind of help but when he saw Sirius he froze. Sirius Black. Remus had always found Sirius to be the most handsome creature he had ever laid his amber eyes on. His long pitch black hair and those electric blue eyes. Remus could stare into those eyes for hours if not days. It was safe to say Remus had had the biggest crush on Sirius since he can remember. Since the moment the sat next to each other after being placed into Gryffindor together. But he was way to scared to ever utter more than a hi to him. As beautiful as Sirius was he wasn't always the nicest. And that was something Remus disliked about him. He knew Sirius was a sweetheart but he wondered why he would never show it. Remus was so lost looking at the handsome man he almost didn't notice the full on fight that was going on. Severus got a punch to the face and fell to the floor grabbing his face. Remus walked over to the growing fight hastily. He saw Severus get another kick to the gut and laying on the floor grabbing his stomach. Lily jumped in front of Severus with a red face full of anger. "Stop! What the hell is your problem!" She shouted at the boys. A boy Remus didn't know the name of walked to her and whispered to her. "Snivellus over there. But I don't see why that is your concern Evans." The boy spat. Lily got even more angry at that. As he turned around she gave him a kick to the back and he came down with a hard thud. Remus would be laughing if it wasn't for someone else who Remus didn't know the name of again to hit Lily dead in the face. That was it Remus thought. Remus stood in front of Lily and Severus he mustered all the courage he could and spoke "Alright that's enough!" Everyone turned their head to look at Remus. The otherwise shy bookworm standing in front of his friends speaking with a louder voice than anyone was used to.
"Well well, the quite boy speaks." James sneers. His friends laugh but Remus doesn't care. He would do anything for his friends. "He don't you have some books to read?" Says Peter sniffling with laughter the other boys joining him. All of them except one. Sirius. "Oh very mature." Remus says calmly. Remus might want to protect his friends but never without manners, reason and calm. "Alright man just give us Snivellus over here and we're all good." Says James. Remus does not move. Lily stands back up next to Remus and glares at the rude boys. Before Lily can even say anything. "No." Says Remus. Lily looks at him rather surprised and so do the group of boys. Remus never got mixed into things like this for a reason he detested this kind of childish drama. There where more important things. "We know Evans has a weak spot for the Slytherin trash but now you too? Oh don't tell me you two are like together?" Says James and Peter breaking into a fit of laughter. Remus roles his eyes at the idiocy of these childish boys. "Yes of course Severus and I are very happy together." Remus says with a stern but slightly sarcastic look on his face. He made sure he didn't look at Sirius for he knows if he does he wouldn't be able to keep a blush from forming on his face. But if Remus had looked over at the handsome man he would have seen him looking rather upset at the last comment made.
