Third Person P.O.V


It had been many weeks since Delphina had scheduled their weekly meeting in the library back. They had been doing well with Remus still his awkward and clumsy self with the brunette taking more and more of his heart with her warm compassionate smile

He so far had managed to keep Delphina away from his nosy friends although they were starting to get a hunch that he wasn't going to the only place they were banned from just reading and relaxing all Saturday. The trio desperately wanted to know who he was meeting and who had taken their Remus away

This Thursday evening, he had set out to find a certain peculiar blonde, he found her just outside of the Ravenclaw common room talking to the ghost of Helena Ravenclaw or more commonly known as the grey lady. The Gryffindor approached the ghost and started to float away not before the boy quickly greeted her

"She's not a real big fan of anyone really" She attempted to ease his embarrassment by offering the space next to her for him to sit. Once he fully relaxed with the cool stone on his neck

"What do you need Remus?" Pandora asked quizzically, her hands paced delicately on her lap

"Well, I've been hanging out with Delphina, and I've been trying to learn sign language, but I-I definitely need your help" He explained scratching his head while also pulling the book out of his bag letting the girl examine it. He had finally given in to needing the girls' help with this week being the full moon fighting sleep and staying up late was extraordinarily hard, his emotions were already sensitive, and the lack of sleep wasn't helping. The boy cried one night from all his emotions building up and him not understanding anything in the book causing him to break

The blonde smiled at his dedication flicking through the pages and seeing he had written in some notes for himself. Of course, she knows about their meetings in the library the first time it occurred Pandora was coming back from a date with Xenophilius. Delphina came crashing into her she was jumping up and down her hand movements were so quick she could barely comprehend it

"We shouldn't waste a second let's go to the Black Lake wouldn't want Delphina to see if I'm assuming this right this is a surprise" She pointed to the book turning to the blushing boy nodding

"So, it seems like you have most of the basics but there is a difference between knowing and mastering"

Remus and Pandora sat with a tree for cover and many books including Remus's on sign language, all of her explanations had started to overwhelm the boy. This close to the full moon his emotions were heightened, and nothing was making sense

"Remus, are you alright?" As she was explaining the girl observed the Gryffindor zoned out and very pale which highlighted his dark bags. His face looked sickly like he was dying

"Mhm" He reached for his bag Pandora noticed and handed it to him, dragging through it painfully slow, pulling out a bar of chocolate taking a little bite

"I think you need rest Lupin" Her pale hand rested against his forehead to come to contact with his blazing skin, Remus felt the blonde's icy hand and nudged himself further into her palm. Gently with her other hand Pandora grasped his shoulder and brought him down onto the blanket to lay down, on his own he took off his jumper

The Ravenclaw folded it into a pillow-like shape softly lifting his head and resting the jumper under him. Only minutes later Remus was calmly asleep, the refined breeze hitting him and his semi-wet shirt from overheating the girl giggled at his limp figure

She packed up his stuff and packed it neatly in his bag, she fished a novel out of her bag and started to immerse back into the pages subconsciously leaning back onto the tree. They spent the evening outside in the calm nature of Scotland with three pairs of mischievous eyes on them

The boy walked back to the common room to drop his things and head to the shrieking shack for his transformation. His unscheduled nap had upped the energy that he had been lacking. He couldn't wait for tomorrow when he could just curl into his sheets and sleep

"Boggart"

He stepped into the warm comfy common room to see his friends all settled around the fireplace looking at him with unreadable expressions. The boy cautiously walked over to them hesitantly sitting down next to James on the couch. The three shared knowing eye contact Sirius nodded his head hanging low

"We saw you with Pandora mate" He sighed picking his head up to see Remus's manner remained unbothered

"You know she has a boyfriend" James spoke with an ashamed face, the lupin boy finally got what they were insinuating. He would have just laughed it off but with all his emotions toying with each other, the boy felt hurt and rage. He stood up staring at the three boys in disbelief

"How dare you! You think it's so low of me to believe I would date someone while they're in a happy relationship! We're Just Friends!" He yelled tears glossed his eyes as he watched them all bow their heads

"Moony mate-" Peter tried to calm him standing up and patting his shoulder

"NO! Fuck off!" Remus yelled throwing Peters's arm off him and storming out past his shocked friends
