I Solemnly Swear (Remus Lupin x Reader)

Chapter 5: Amsterdam

~~~~~•Remus POV•~~~~~

"This is why I told you to pack yesterday."

          I'm currently stuffing my bag because we have to be at the airport in an hour. It wouldn't be such a big deal if it weren't for the fact that I started stuffing my bag just now. I'm talking Y/n on a trip to The Netherlands. She doesn't know though; she thinks I'm taking her to France. Now France is an amazing place to go, but she's been wanting to go to The Netherlands for awhile. Besides, we're going to France after spending two or three weeks in The Netherlands. The World Cup Final was five days before Sirius and Marlene's wedding; she cried because The Netherlands lost to Argentina (ignore if you're Argentinian if you want). She has always liked the Dutch National Team. But, of course, England and [your country] will always be her top team(s). She says she's glad she was alive when England won because she feels like they won't win again for awhile. I disagree.

"I finished packing."

"Great, let's go."  

         We made it to the airport. She eventually realized we weren't going to France, but instead The Netherlands. She squealed with joy and kissed my cheek. I couldn't help but smile at her excitement and joy. I love her.

~~~~~•Y/n POV•~~~~~

             It's impossible for me to fall asleep on flights. I like looking at everything outside the plane and enjoying what's down below. It almost makes me forget about all the problems in the world.    Remus also has trouble sleeping on flights for the same reason. He ends up falling asleep at some point, though. A flight to The Netherlands is short though. I looked at Remus and smiled. 

            How do you know when you're in love? The truth is, I don't know. I told Remus I loved him just because; I think he knows that. He assumes I love him but I don't know if he knows I really do. I don't think anyone truly knows when they're in love at first. I know now. I think I knew when I loved his imperfections as much as I loved his perfections. When he'd give up things for me. I never thought anyone could love me. I still think he's insane; that he can do better. He doesn't seem to think so though. 

"Y/n? You alright, darling?"

"Oh yeah I'm fine Rem. I just zoned out thinking."

"About what?"

"Why does it matter? What is this? The USSR?"

He chuckled before a blonde lady turned around and with a thick Russian accent went, "what's so funny about communism ruining my country?"

Remus and I looked at her and at each other, speechless.

She laughed before saying with her real accent, "I'm only joking, I'm not Russian. You two are fine."

             Remus and I laughed half nervously. She turned back around; we just looked at each other and shrugged. We eventually arrived in Amsterdam. When we stepped out of the airport, I couldn't help but smile at the beauty of Amsterdam that I was seeing right there. We apparated to the hotel and plopped down on the bed, just relaxing.

"You excited, Y/n?"

"Is that even a question? Of course I'm bloody excited."

"I'm tired." 

"So am I."

"I'll go get us coffee. Sirius was telling me about this great coffee shop here."

"Knowing Sirius, they probably sell drugs."
