Summery: Remus and Y/n's life together with baby Harry

"Good morning, Remus," Y/n greets, exiting her room.

Remus and Y/n had decided to take care of Harry together. But moving the baby between houses proved to be difficult, so Remus had suggested that Y/n move in with him, and that they could be house-mates and take care of Harry together. It was convenient, he would admit. They would take turns getting up at night to soothe Harry, and then they could take shifts to watch him during the day. They also split the housework, and now had two incomes, magical and muggle. Y/n also made his transformations easier. Y/n had learnt a very special type of magic, in which she could put Remus in a comatose sleep-like state, and wake him again in the morning. Through this, he'd be asleep in his werewolf form through his transformation, and not harm anyone. 

About two years had passed since that tragic night in Godric's Hollow, and Harry was going to turn three in a week's time. Y/n and Remus worked hard to get Harry to remember his parents. The one time, when Harry was learning to talk, he called Y/n "mama"on accident,  and she had to leave the room due to her crying. Remus had to remind Y/n for weeks that Harry calling her 'mama' on accident wasn't a betrayal to Lily in any way, and HArry just called her the most natural thing he knew. 

Another small fact, was that Y/n and Harry shared a birthday. She had been so thrilled a few years back when Lily had telephoned her and told her to come quickly, as her godson was being birthed and she wasn't allowed to miss it. 

Remus and Y/n spend many nights talking about these things. Remus enjoyed Y/n's company, more than he had ever enjoyed anyone else's in fact. At first, he was scared. He wondered what Sirius would think, as he and Sirius had dated since their fourth year of Hogwarts, and only decided to be friends when James and Lily got engaged. Now, almost five years later, he was in it, and he was in it deep. 

Remus had come to terms with it: he was in love with Y/n L/n.

Remus suspected that she felt the same way, but who knows, he could be grasping at straws. The way she would lean her head on his shoulder after a long day, or the way she always grabbed his hand when something tapped the window on a stormy night, or the way they often fell asleep cuddled up in the other's warmth. Those could be signs of platonic affections. He didn't quite know. Women were strange to him. 

Remus was ready. He had worked up the nerve for the past three months. He had it all planned out. On her birthday, they would all go out the evening, as a family. And when they'd get home, and Harry was asleep, Remus would tell Y/n how he felt over a glass of wine. He could do it. 

Or so he thought. 

Seeing Y/n on the morning of her twenty-third birthday made him wonder if he was even worthy. It was just before sunrise, and Y/n was positively giddy. She was baking a birthday cake for Harry, her h/c hair wild and messy. She was bouncing around the kitchen to a song that was playing on the radio. Remus had stood in the doorway, staring at the marvel of a woman. She was dressed in her usual peculiar style, and on anyone else in the Wizarding World, the style would have looked out of place. 

"Hi," Y/n greeted a broad grin on her face. 

"Hi," Remus breathed. She looked gorgeous. The early morning light caught her skin and hair perfectly, and it looked as if she was glowing. Remus knew, he would be irrevocably pleased if she felt the same way. Him, an odd, clumsy, werewolf boy, with a beautiful, smart and outright amazing witch like her.
