Always You | Remus Lupin x Fem!Reader

Y/n L/n is a lot of things: a Slytherin, a Pureblood, a Sacred 28 heir, and a realist.

So she knows that her crush on Remus Lupin is unrealistic. 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.

So he knows that his sudden infatuation with Y/n L/n will only lead him to heartbreak. But would he rather love and lose than never love at all?

"For the rest of class I tried to focus and write my notes, but I could smell her shampoo. Was that creepy? Maybe. It smelled citrusy and like something else I couldn't quite describe.
