A/N: This is my first story, but please tell me what you think, I could use honest and constructive criticism. Enjoy!

Second only to her
I think that perhaps you were always my compensation for not having any friends, or not "getting the girls" at Hogwarts, and afterwards too. You were my comfort when I was down, and my favourite snack, while the others ate things like Every Flavour Beans, and Chocolate Frogs, and cheese.
I always carried some of you in my pocket, and absent-mindedly ate you when I was studying. I seldom had much money, but I never minded keeping some aside just for you.
Sirius came up with the name "Munching Moony" for me, but only used it when he remembered. I don't mind. Names are just that: names, when you love something, and I love you.
Peter dared me to give you up for Lent, but I declined. I just couldn't – couldn't – give you up for that long. I'm just not strong enough.
You're so gooey and soft and crunchy and smooth and yummy and you melt on my tongue so slowly and delicately and you give me a lovely warm feeling all over, like a fire one can eat.
But, much as I love you, now one has taken first place in my heart; you are second to her, but I promise you, only to her. I would describe her to you, but by the time I finished, she would have changed, and I would have to start all over again.
She is first and foremost in my heart now, but do not be cross. You are still a great companion of mine. After all, you were my childhood saviour, before the Marauders, and now that James, Lily and Sirius are gone, and Peter has been claimed by the Dark Lord, I eat you in remembrance of your charisma.
So don't take offence, dear chocolate, but remember that you are still here in my heart…
…it's just that the only girl that I love, loves me back, just for myself, even with all my insecurities, and my "furry little problem" (NOT a troublesome bunny rabbit, dear chocolate), and you are second only to her.
"Remus, darling!" called a voice from the kitchen.
"I'm coming," replied Lupin, looking up from his writing, "just finishing something.
Quill to paper…
And so, I must leave this for you to read, and please take it to heart, and don't let this come between us. Dora's waiting – I've got to go or she'll coming crashing in her, lovely, clumsy thing that she is.
"Remus!"
Argh! Bye bye! I love you! I hope I eat you again soon – oh… I've got some of you here, on my desk…
Love, Remus (Moony) x
A/N: I was eating chocolate while writing this… xD I love chocolate and I love that part of Remus' character. I love Remus Lupin in general :)
