🌙 REMUS LUPIN X READER ONESHOTS

charmer

Sighing heavily, you let your head fall on the thick book you are currently reading. Well, trying to read, to be more specific. You are so tired and sleep-deprived that your vision, at this point, is blurry and the letters begin to float before your eyes.

It’s pointless to keep studying but the tiny voice in your head doesn’t shut up as it repeats that you must study or else you’ll fail your exams and be expelled. You can’t get expelled, that’s not an option. Your parents would probably make you regret it every waking moment.

You are the first witch in your family. Your parents are Muggles, and they refused to believe in what the letter said when it had came. You needed to almost beg them to let you go to Hogwarts, seeing it as a chance to finally find a place you belonged in. you don’t even want to imagine how disappointed yet proud of themselves they would be if you came back home and said you would no longer be attending Hogwarts.

The thought makes you tremble uncontrollably with anxiety and fright and you cover your face with your hands, rubbing it a little. Colors begin to appear under your closed eyelids and for a brief moment you wish that they were a portal to a place without exams, without stress and without pressure.

The only thing keeping you fairly sane is your boyfriend, Remus. You bumped into him once day as you ran to the library. He almost lost his balance but laughed it off and from that moment you were absolutely smitten with that boy. Fortunately, he was smitten with you, too, and after some initial awkwardness and shyness the two of you ended up together.

“Oh, my poor girl, for how long have you been going on?” a soft, concerned voice comes from behind you and you gasp, pulling your hands away from your face.

“I have long lost the concept of time, Remus. I’m in some place where it doesn’t exist, and I am alone with all of the books. Just me and knowledge that I need to posses.”

“Merlin’s beard, Y/N, you’ve gone bonkers,” he says with a fake terror and you giggle, seeing his petrified expression as he makes his way to sit opposite you. Cautiously, he slides the book towards him, out of your reach.

“Remus, I need to get through that book today.”

“Tonight. It’s after 8pm already, Y/N. And what you need is a break. I actually think I can see smoke coming out your ears,” he jests, but you can see that he’s worried. You give him a lopsided smile to calm him a little.

“I’ll be okay, really.”

“Nah, Y/N, as your boyfriend I am stealing you away from studying.”

“Remus-“ you start sternly but he cuts you off by sporting an indignant expression.

“You will come with me, and you will let me pamper you. No complaining.”

You know better than to fight with him. Remus is a softie, yes, but once he’s got something on his mind he can be really persistent.

And so, you only nod, quickly gathering your things as Remus grins at you and stands up, offering you a hand.

You take it, dragging your feet to keep up with his pace. You have no idea where he leads you – common room is probably crowded, you are not allowed to stay in boys’ dorms and he can’t stay in yours for too long, as well.
