Marauders Imagines || Vol. 1

(Request) Favourite Sweater- Remus

Requested by: emmaloo21

Imagine: Remus not being able to find his favourite sweater because Y/N stole it and only wears it in her dorm. Then one night she goes downstairs into the common room as Remus does the same.

------------

It was an accident, you didn't mean to take it but you definitely didn't regret your decision either. Stealing Remus' sweater was possibly the best thing you have ever done.

Having just come from History of Magic you entered the Gryffindor common room with Lily at your side. The pair of you were discussing the lesson and the homework you were set when Remus's voice distracted you. "Guys have you seen my sweater? I still can't find it." He questions asking the boys who shook their heads. Although you had to admit he didn't sound as upset as he was after discovering his sweater was missing two weeks ago.

"Are you still on about that?" James comments groaning before noticing you and Lily.

"Jesus Moony it's just a sweater. Can't you just buy a new one?" Sirius chips in raising his eyebrow.

If looks could kill then Sirius would definitely be dead. Holding his hands up in defence Sirius stared at his friend as he spoke. "It's my favourite sweater Sirius, I can't just buy a new one." He explains making Sirius apologise.

Having watched the exchange you glance at Lily as she did the same back. Turning back to watching the boys argue about the sweater you caught James' eye. Much like Lily, James gave you a knowing look.

Besides Lily, James is the only other person who knows about you having Remus' sweater. After all it was him who let you into the boys dorm to go get it. Not that Remus knows that obviously.

"Evans! Y/N!" James called changing the subject of the conversation. Hearing him say this, the others stop what they're doing and face you.

"Hey." You greet and Lily sighs.

"What do you want Potter?" She groans already walking away from him. You on the other hand couldn't help but laugh at the way she did this.

"Do I need a reason to see my favourite Gryffindor?" He slyly says blocking her path.

Rolling her eyes she looks over her shoulder at you with a annoyed look before turning back to James. "Yes." She answers ducking under his arm and walking up the staircase to your shared dorm. "You coming Y/N?" You heard her call.

"Coming." Shooting a smile to the boys you followed your friend's lead and went up to your dorm.

The moment you walked inside the dorm Lily shut the door behind you. "Oh my God does he ever give it a rest!?" She groans leaning against the door.

Dropping your bag onto your bed you couldn't help but laugh. "This is James you're talking about." You comment. "What did you expect?" You laugh.

Glaring at you she sighed. "Whatever."

Grabbing your clothes you go to the bathroom, changing into a pair of jeans and a tank top. Walking back over to your bed you neatly fold your uniform just as Lily had finished getting changed. She watched as you opened your trunk, pulling out a neatly folded sweater. Breathing in the smell you sighed contently before slipping it on.

Just as you pulled it over your head you noticed your friend watching you from her bed. "What?" You questioned adjusting the piece of clothing so it wasn't irritating the top you had on underneath.

"You know you'll have to give that back eventually, right? You can't hid it from Remus forever." She smirked standing up. You knew from the way she spoke and the playful smirk she held that she was enjoying this. Finding the situation incredibly funny if not a tad cute.

"Bu it's so comfy." You whine hugging the material before falling backwards onto your bed which made Lily laugh.

"And you say I'm the one in love." You hear her comment with a small laugh. Upon hearing this you head snapped to her direction as you sat up, knowing full well what she was insinuating.

"What? No I'm not." You deny. Lily on the hand places her hands on her hips and raises her eyebrow at you.

"Oh please, you stole his jumper. I think that qualifies Y/N." Lily points out before laughing.

"Seriously I'm not. Moony's my best friend who also happens to own a very comfortable sweater." You explain. You weren't lying, you only saw him as a friend and vice verse. After all the pair of you have known each other since you were both little. If anything you saw each other as siblings. However due to the close bond you have neither the Marauders or Lily believed you or Remus when it came to your friendship.

"Keep telling yourself that Y/N." With that she walked off out the dorm.

------------

Evening came and went and now it was the middle of the night. You had fallen asleep while finishing your homework and so were still wearing Remus' sweater. Something had jolted you awake which caused you to realise how late it really was.

Sighing, you packed your books and sheets of parchment away neatly placing them on top of your nightstand. Looking at the peaceful atmosphere of the other girls sleeping you came to terms with the fact you weren't going to get to sleep any time soon.

Silently creeping around your bed and over to the dorm door, just as your hand touched the handle a thought came to mind. You had never worn the sweater outside of the dorm. Partly because you didn't want to get it ruined but mainly because you didn't want Remus to find out you had it.

You were about to turn away when you remembered how late it was. "Remus won't be up I should be fine." You thought to yourself. Smiling you quietly left the dorm making your way downstairs to the common room.

You had always loved it when the common room was like this, it was just so peaceful. Sitting down in front of the fire place you leaned back relaxing into the sofa.

You were just drifting off when you heard footsteps from the staircase. However, where you had been overcome by sleep you didn't react until someone said your name. "Y/N?"

Now this definitely got your attention. The slumber you had just been feeling was gone and was now replaced by your nerves as you realise who spoke. "Remus." Gulping you stared wide eyed at your friend.

Fortunately for you, Remus hadn't spotted the sweater and so hasn't commented on it yet. Being the only source of light, Remus moved closer to the fire place so he could see you properly.

"What are you doing up so..." He trailed off becoming distracted by what you were wearing. There was a moment of silence before he eventually spoke up. "Is that my sweater?" You couldn't deny the shock and slight relief that was in his voice.

"Ummm... Guilty." You nervously laughted while shrugging your shoulder.

You were expecting him to be mad or something but no all he could do was chuckle to himself. "I should have known it was you."
