Being friends with the Marauders, let alone being involved with one, everyone assumes you're either a bad kid, a prankster, a slacker, or something else of the sort. But, surprise! You're a straight O student with no plans to slack or get a detention.

Which Marauder are you dating?

Remus Lupin.

The subtly sexy, studious, level-headed Marauder.

You look up from your parchment and at Remus, his eyebrows furrowed as his eyes scan the book. He senses your eyes on him and looks up.

"What?" he asks, his cheeks dusted with pink.

"You're so cute," you tease. He rolls his eyes and puts his books aside before crawling over to you. You squeal, knowing what's coming. "No, no, Remus! Stop!" But, of course, he doesn't. He grabs you and starts to tickle your sides. You scream in laughter, begging him to stop.

"Oi! Some of us are trying to study!" James shouts. Remus stops and you glance at James before your frown turns into a smirk.

"Studying, huh? Studying Lily?" you tease. James glares at you and you blow him a kiss.

"Sod off, (Y/N)." You place a hand over your heart dramatically.

"Remus," you whine, looking at him. He gathers you in his arms and strokes your hair.

"Shush, love, it's okay," he whispers mockingly. You struggle to hold back a giggle.

"You're ridiculous," Sirius says from the armchair.

"I think you mean—"

"Ridikkulus," you and Remus finish together. James throws a pillow at Remus but you deflect it and it hits Peter, knocking his quill out of his hand.

"Hey!" Peter protests.

"Sorry, Pete!" He shakes his head but grins.

"It's okay. The essay was crappy anyway," he mumbles.

"Do you need help with it?" you ask, getting off of Remus' lap and walking over to Peter.

"Could you? That'd be great." You sit beside him and read over the essay he has concocted already.

"It's not bad, you just need to rearrange some paragraphs. Maybe switch these two," you say. pointing from one paragraph to a different one.

"That's all?" You nod encouragingly.

"That's all! It'll make more sense." You ruffle his hair as you stand up, making your way back to Remus. He kisses your temple after he pulls you back onto his lap.

"You guys are disgusting," Sirius pipes up.

"You're just mad because you haven't been laid in three days," you shoot back. He groans and tosses the book he hadn't really been reading aside.

"I know. I'm dying," he complains.

"So is your sex life," James chimes in. Sirius picks up his book and throws it at his head, hitting his mark. You roll my eyes as they wrestle around.

"Boys," you mumble to yourself. Remus gasps. "What?"

"Am I included in this 'boys' comment?"

"Well, last time I checked, if you know what I mean, you are," you wink. He blushes and pokes your sides. You squeal and smack his chest.

"I got you something," Remus says suddenly. He stands, moving you onto the couch. You raise an eyebrow as he trudges up the stairs to the boys dormitory. You look at the other boys and they shrug, just as curious as you am. Not too long later, Remus comes back down and walks over to you. He looks at the other boys and gives them a pointed look.

"Oh, right, okay," James whispers, gesturing to the other two. They get the hint and hurry up to the dorms, making kissy noises as they pass. You ignore them, your eyes fixed on Remus. Once the boys are gone, Remus smiles gently at you.

To your shock, he pulls out a velvet box.

"Remus, what—"

"I promise it's not a proposal. More of a promise. I know muggles do a promise ring of such, and I never really knew about it despite being half-blood, you know? Anyway, I thought since you're a muggleborn and most likely know about it, you'd appreciate it. So, yeah," he finishes sheepishly, handing you the box. You take the ring out and almost cry at the gesture and how beautiful the ring is.

"Remus," you whisper in awe. You stand up and pull him in for a kiss, which he returns wholeheartedly. "I love you so, so much," you breathe against his lips.

"I love you more. I'm going to marry you one day, (Y/N). I'll never leave your side as long as you'll have me." He slips the ring onto my ring finger. A tear falls from your eye and he gingerly wipes it away. You wrap your arms around his neck and he wraps his around your waist.

"Always."

As long as you're mine

I'll wake up my body

And make up for lost time
