a/n: this was written for Haylis' 'For The Love of Remus' challenge at HPFC, my pairing was remus/amelia and my prompt was book. i've never written remus before, so please review and tell me how i did! constructive criticism is much appreciated, but no flames, please!

(she's all kinds of wonderful)
/witty and patient and kind/
&i n t e l l i g e n t, so so i n t e l l i g e n t&
and although she's not renowned for her beauty
-his jaw isn't the only one that d r o p s-
when she comes down the stairs on the evening of
the christmas eve ball
{in her shimmering satin gown}
looking like she's stepped out of a fairytale

-for h i m, at least-
/when she gets angry, she gets really, really angry/
(though he secretly thinks she looks pretty h o t when she does)
/and she has a tendency to hide herself in a book/
when real life gets too hard

^why on earth she's with him, of all p e o p l e^
but right now
-in the shade of the tree where they first met-
.:her head in his lap, and a tattered novel propped open in front her:.
/sun streaming through the leaves overhead and dappling off the lake/
and watching exasperatedly as j a m e s chases after l i l y again
he's content to just
e n j o y what's his, for as l o n g as he h a s it.
