"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.

The Only Girl - Remus Lupin x Reader [Book 1] - Rewritten
"Y/n, I will always be here for you." "Promise?" "I promise." ~*𓃦*~ Going to Hogwarts was something Y/n Black had been looking forward to her entire life, though she never anticipated the chaos and mischief that her time there would include. And she certainly never anticipated falling in love with her best friend. Remus Lupin never expected to go to Hogwarts. His father had told him stories about it, but being a werewolf, Remus assumed it would be impossible for him to go. But accommodations were made and soon he went from being lonely to being surrounded by four amazing friends who were willing to do anything for him. [Book 1/3] - Book 2 coming soonComplete
Snivellus' sister
(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.

"We cannot be togther!" Remus shook his head vigorously. "Never in a million years!" "And why not, love?" Amane smirked, taking a step further at the brown haired boy. He took a step back. "Because... we're supposed to be enemies." _ A dark, slow-burn, gothic romantic-suspense set in the Wizarding World with the warm, whimsical Hogwarts charm in the background. ▪ I do not own Harry Potter or the Wizarding World. It belongs to J.K. Rowling and all credit goes to her. I only own some of the original characters I made up for this story.

James, Sirius and Remus were shocked when Peter walked calmly towards the Ravenclaw table, but they were even more shocked when instead of being ignored, he was greeted warmly by not only Royan Chase, Head Boy and Ravenclaw quidditch captain, but two beautiful girls. ************* Adelaide Harthwood enjoyed the shy Gryffindor boy's sweet nature and kind smile. It was refreshing compared to the arrogance that floated around Potter and Black. ************* When their paths cross and James Potter is awed by the fiery Ravenclaw girl, he doesn't know what to do or say.

But is unrealistic the same as impossible? -:-:-:-:- "But Remus was right next to me. And his hair kept flopping down as he wrote so he kept pushing it back. And he kept biting his lip while he thought about what to write. And when he scratched something out he furrowed his brows together, which made one of his scars curl up. And- holy shit I needed to focus." -:-:-:-:- ...but he fell harder Remus Lupin is a lot of things: A Gryffindor, a half-blood, a werewolf, and a Marauder.

It smelled citrusy and like something else I couldn't quite describe. She was running her thumb against the ring on her left middle finger. And she licked her lips while she thought about what else to write. And she kept doodling little things in the margins of her notes. And-fuck...I needed to focus."

Potter, please
James Potter has been in love with Aurora Lupin since second year - the day she marched into Hogwarts, insulted his broomstick, and called him "Potter" like it was a bad word. Now in sixth year, he's still helplessly smitten with his best friend's little sister. The only people who know? Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and unfortunately, Remus Lupin - who is both deeply concerned and quietly resigned to the fact that James is an idiot with no self-control. To protect the delicate peace (and his kneecaps), James keeps up the world's worst cover act: pretending he's still obsessed with Lily Evans so no one suspects the truth - especially Aurora, who would absolutely roast him alive. It's going great. If "great" means losing his mind every time she walks into a room. If "great" means blushing like a fool when she says "Potter, please" with that tired, amused little smirk. He writes her notes he never sends. Lets her win at wizard chess. Stares at her across the Great Hall like a lovesick idiot. And the worst part? She has no idea. But secrets don't stay buried forever - especially not when Sirius Black gets bored, Peter starts scheming, and Remus keeps threatening to hex him every time he sighs her name. James can outfly a Bludger. But can he survive falling for the one girl he's not supposed to love? {James potter x Oc} {golden retriever vibes} {mauraders era}

Heavy, labored breathing was the only sound. Paralyzation is what she felt. The words were stuck in her throat. Couldn't move, couldn't speak, couldn't breath. She wanted to answer him. She wanted to explain and allow him to understand. But how could she? How can she? Not when her very own fears were constraining her like a noose tied around her neck. Sirius looked at her, shaking, hardly breathing. Her silence only continued to contribute to his anger - rising in him like a tidal wave, ready to bring wrath and destruction. He continued to stare at her. Unable to control himself any longer. He pulled out his wand- "The best thing for both of us is to forget that we were ever in each other's lives-" "Obliviate"
