"You should tell him, you know," a familiar voice softly said from behind her. "I know you love him." 

"Remus," she began turning around to face her friend, "You know I can't do that. He's my best friend, and h-he's in love with his perfect Lily-flower," Elsie sighed as tears began forming in her eyes.

"But, Elsie... you don't see the way he looks at you, he-," his sentence was cut off by the girl with tears running down her face. "I don't see how he looks at me, but I see how he looks at her! And, t-that's enough to know that I will n-never be good enough to be with h-him," she snapped through stifled words.

"But why don't you just tell him? Why don't you let yourself have a chance at happiness for once?" he asked stepping forwards, wiping her cheeks with his thumbs.

"Because...loving him is a losing game. Either way, I'm the one getting hurt," Elsie whispered, falling into the arms of the boy in front of her.

Portraits of a Flower in Bloom | Jily by jamseypotter

"Oh Lily, you really are amazing, you know that?" Lily sighed, same old James he was probably going to ask her out again in 3... 2... 1.... and... Nothing. Huh, she thought to herself, maybe he really has changed. James looked back at Lily and grinned, she quickly looked away and his face fell. I need to get her out of my head, he thought, she doesn't like me anymore, end of. No point in going after a girl who hates you anymore, who knows how much time we all have left. The door opened, and they both looked up. Prefects started filling the room, ready to start the new school year. Lily smiled professionally and James mimicked her, greeting and congratulating the other students. Before Lily started to speak, she took a last glance at James. He smiled slightly, his small dimples made him look so innocent and adorable. She breathed in and looked down at the paper in front of her, one thought protruding out from the rest, I will not fall in love with James Potter. --- In their final year at Hogwarts, Voldemort is on the rise, luckily though, Hogwarts is still safe... mostly. James and Lily are finally civil but Lily finds herself feeling something more that she can't keep denying. Remus is drowning himself in school work, blaming the upcoming NEWTs, but Sirius isn't convinced, could there be another reason for his constant avoidance? Meanwhile, a new arrival in school has easily made friends with all her fellow Gryffindors... except Marlene: determined to befriend the newbie, Marlene insists on spending more and more time with her. There could be more to all these friendships, but with the stress of NEWTS and a potential war on the horizon, will love blossom, or is it too dangerous to keep loved ones close? Mainly Jily, but wolfstar and Marlene x fem!oc slowburn fluff as secondary love plot lines :)

"Potter," Phoebe says curtly. James frowns and says harshly, willing the odd feeling he has to go away, "Griffin, all of that stuff still doesn't make you pretty." She scoffs and narrows her eyes, "I could say the same about you. What's that in your hair, Potter? Flobberworm slime?" ~In which Phoebe Griffin and James Potter realize that there is a thin line between love and hate.~ James Potter x Female OC #1 James Potter-3/2/2021 #1 Marauders-3/5/2021 #1 Lily Evans-3/8/2021 #1 Remus Lupin 3/13/2021 {This is just a fun thing for me to write!!

The moon and The Star by deatmat

Two boys. One with a supposedly perfect nerdy life and living out his college years in a flat he shares with his two best friends, astronomy PhD and a life full of wonders ahead of him. The other, the most punk rock person at Hogwarts college (as he'll tell you), amazing painting skills and a heart that's still too broken to heal. They could not be farther apart in the social chain. Either acts like they want anything to do with the other. One drunken text changes that all. When Remus receives a text from someone he's never met who goes by the name of 'Padfoot' things start to change in his life. Caught in a love triangle, and still dealing with the issues of his past, things get confusing. -Wolfstar texting AU -Previously apart of wolfstar one shots book Warnings: Drinking, memory loss, swearing and some suggestive language.

I Love You Padfoot (ENG) by AlexJacksonO_Brien

What if in the year of the Marauders there was one more girl who would be worthy of being called Marauders? How would history have unfolded then? The biggest school Casanova and a small and quite mean witch. What happens when these two characters meet? ""And why are you so scared?" Lily laughed seeing her friend. The teenager moved towards her, and as soon as she saw Padfoot, she grabbed the red-haired's hand and dragged her to the corridor. "What's wrong?" Evans was surprised. "I start to worry." "Lily." Girl looked seriously at her friend. "Look, I don't know exactly how it happened, but..." Began, then took a deep breath and finished. "I slept with Sirius. " "How did I know I'd find you here?" James approached sad teenager. "It's not normal for you to be so sad. What happened?" He asked with concern. "I got lost in all this, James..." Girl whispered. "I don't know what I really feel anymore." "Is it about Sirius?" Boy guessed at which she nodded hesitantly. "Go ahead and talk to me." He encouraged her to talk. "Listen, Sirius is my friend, and so are you. Don't worry, I won't tell him. I promise." Potter smiled warmly. "Whatever you tell me, it stays between us." "Thank you." She replied with a shy smile. "You know... I think I'm in love with him... " They both don't know the exact meaning of love. Will all this change in the near future? • Coloring Book Cover by Lean •

Luna Lupin came from a tumultous childhood filled with secrecy and a family haunted by the stigmatised illness of lycanthropy, thrown into a society that views her older brother, Remus, with suspcion and fear.

However, when the one person that she fancied, Sirius Black, breaks off the secret arrangement he had with her, Luna decides she's done with it. So it's through a plot of revenge that she finally approaches her Astronomy tutor, Regulus Black, for a fake relationship.

Reading Between The Lines ~ Remus Lupin ~ Book 1 by world_of_fandoms

Despite her great skill in reading between the lines, Lena Pettigrew has always had trouble reading lines. Her dyslexia has always been something she's had compensate for and, through hard work, she's done well in all her classes. Well, that was until her centuries-long dead ghost professor decided to start giving ridiculously long reading assignments and follow-up quizzes starting her fifth year. On top of that, Lena is trying to seem like a normal witch whenever she's near Remus Lupin. She finds that particularly challenging because of her massive crush on him.

"You kissed Sirius," I sob. "I know, Cordelia." He whispers. "It's so horrible." "Yes, it is.

Mischief Managed | 𝘚𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘴 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 by TinaX2

{𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝟮} It all started with a kiss. Or better say, everything ended with a kiss. What Jenna Potter thought was going to lead her to a beautiful love story, quickly turned into a tragedy; only a week after Sirius Black stole her first kiss, Jenna caught him at school with another girl. Now, with her trust broken and her heart shattered, Jenna promises herself never to like another boy ever again. But little does she know that the universe has other plans for her. Not long after, she finds herself slowly falling for Remus Lupin. But with Sirius's feelings for her never truly gone, and her overprotective twin brother there to interfere in it all, Jenna finds her first four years at Hogwarts drowned in chaos. *** [Marauder's Era] [OC's age: 11-15]

Snivellus' sister by MaliaMalfoyWeasley

(Re-editing) It's clear that Severus Snape has never been great friends with the chaotic group known as the marauders but when his twin sister must be moved to Hogwarts from Beauxbatons in her fifth year for her own safety, the group take a sudden interest in the mysterious girl. One Marauder in particular, Sirius Black. With Snape keeping a protective eye over her surely nothing bad was going to happen... At least that's what he'd hope.

Moonlight [Young!Remus Lupin x Reader] Unedited by ForeverInAzkaban

!This was discontinued until I posted the rest of the pre-written chapters. Many are unedited so forgive me! 7th year (Y/N) Black. Sirius's Older sister. Unlike her brother, she was sorted into Slytherin and the closest person to him. Obviously they didn't express it in public. When his best friend was caught with his sister, he doesn't know how to feel. See, poor Remus couldn't help falling for her. There are some mature scenes in this. You have been warned. All Characters Belong to Jk. Rowling. I have made some random characters up too to fit storyline. :)

Him and I by mistermoonylupin

After taking a months trip to a holiday home near London to celebrate their graduation Sirius Black and James Potter find themselves unaware that they will be having to share the home with 3 others. A sarcastically stubborn Remus Lupin, the red headed Lily Evans and the quiet Peter Pettigrew. Little does Remus know, that despite not knowing his worth, he caught Sirius' eye. What will happen during the months trip together? Will they connect and fall in love? Or will they just go home and forget anything ever happened? TW: abuse, alcohol, smoking, swearing, past eating disorders! mature scenes!! smut modern maraunders au muggle au wolfstar WOLFSTAR!! (a bit of jily)

Unbroken Love (James Potter) by that_snakey_queen

Y/N Evans have always been inlove with her best friend James. So offcoarse she is broken when he started dating her sister Lily. A lot happens which either breaks them or brings them closer. "Why don't you just tell him you love him?" Sirius asks me. "The same reason you don't tell Remus that you love him." He shrugs and started laughing when I threw him with popcorn. ⚠️17+⚠️ TW (I dont own any of the HP characters, this is only a fanfic)

THE MARAUDERS: Rising Moon by siriusly_rey

Remus Lupin held a terrible secret. One that, if slipped, would most certainly destroy his life for good. He'd end up in Azkaban- or worse. Which made him apprehensive to accept friendships. It wasn't fair not to be truthful with his friends. Despite his more reserved behaviour, the three boys he shares a dorm with refuse to let him isolate himself. Read on as Remus does his best to fit in, gain friendships (and perhaps something more?) and get top marks. Delve into Sirius's free spirit and troubled childhood, James's struggles despite his privileged position in life, and meet Peter, who just wants happiness and to be like the rest of his dorm mates. The story of everyone's favourite Marauders - as seen by me. Remus-centered, but also has other perspectives. Warning that I do not have a bunch of prewritten chapters and am publishing as I write. I started writing out of my love for the marauders and my need to see them be happy. Also just for the fun of it. I am also publishing on AO3, my @ is accio_moony_26

I Siriusly Don't Understand || Completed by halpal2020

"Bloody hell," whispers James. "I don't think I've ever seen that before." All I can do is stare blankly at him. "she was just so nice about it..." Remus shakes his hand in front of my face. "I think he's experiencing shock," he says, a smirk on his face. "Is he going to be okay?"asks Peter, worry etched in his face. "'course I am," I say, shaking myself. "it was only a rejection. " "yeah, but you like her." bloody hell, I think he's right. "bloody hell." my voice is hoarse. "I like her." Book one of two

Bookish-Remus lupin by artistic_coward

This is the story of the girl who fell in love with the wolf. Her brother being Sirius Black. Syd and Sirius battle their way from a household of hell and find where they should truly be. Remus, however, finds himself changing from a bookish nerd to a ruggid, bookish, nerd. His confidence increases slowly as does his infatuation with Sydra. Little does he know she feels the same for him. Trigger warning: graphic details of violence, sexual references, sex, language. Remus lupin x female OC lots of couple drama and very slow burn. I ONLY POST ON WATTPAD!!! NO WHERE ELSE BECAUSE THEY SCARE ME! All characters aside from my own OCs belong to JK Rowling. I do not support JK Rowling whatsoever.
