IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Remus Lupin.
The quiet one.
The polite one.
The sit back and let my friends have their fun one.
On the surface. Life seemed simple for him. Three extraordinary best friends. Two of which were brilliant wizards. The third, not so much. Popularity at one of the world's most prestigious wizardry schools. Everything seemed all fun and games.
But beneath the seemingly 'perfect' life, there existed a world of complications. One major one being the fact that Remus Lupin was a werewolf. But for those who knew his dark secret, they loved and cherished him anyway. And for that, he was always grateful.
But over the years, Remus has harbored another secret. One in which not even his best friends could figure out. It was a secret so well kept, and hidden behind his pearl white smile, that Remus himself almost forgot he was even withholding it. Almost.
For years, he watched her. Noticed her when those around her failed to. He would smile when she did. Wish her troubles away when she was sad. Shed a tear for her, when she was too ashamed to cry herself. She lived behind an image. Always wanting what she could never truly have.
A chance to be herself.
Live according to her rules, her choices. But for years, she was a prisoner to her
own delicate demeanor. He never failed to see the sadness in her crystal blue eyes. Eyes that were so enchanting, he found himself constantly drawn to them. And when she smiled, he could feel his heart race, his breathing quicken. She was mesmerizing. She was the light to her boyfriend's constant darkness.
Her boyfriend.
There never existed many things that were able to gain enough worth for Remus to dislike. But her boyfriend: the arrogant, cunning, manipulative boy she walked behind everyday was someone who was able to break through Remus's uncaring barriers. He cared enough for her to dislike her boyfriend.
But it was never jealousy that made Remus's blood boil every time he saw them together. It was more of the way in which she was treated by that conceited bastard. She would always have to walk at least two steps behind so that he was always the first one noticed when they walked into a room. He was never publicly affectionate with her. The only time he would appear to have any care for her were the times in which he would have to curse other boys that seemed to gain interest in her. He possessed her. In his eyes she was his and his alone. She was one of the few full-blooded wizards that held as much physical beauty as he did, and for him, that was all she needed to possess. He failed to notice anything other than how incredibly exquisite her features were.
But Remus noticed everything that her boyfriend had no care for. So many years had passed until now, at the start of theirsixth yearat Hogwarts, he was not sure if his little secret could go on being a secret any longer. The more he saw her, the more he wanted to tell her. To get her away from her uncaring cold-hearted boyfriend. But the more he thought about it, the more he grew disheartened.
Could Narcissa Black ever love someone like him?
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Can't have a Lupin story without his best friends, right? They'll be central characters in this series, I assure you. And I know Lucius is actually a few years older than James, Sirius, etc. but I'm making him around the same age just to fit with the story I guess. Anywho, thanks so much for reading!
