Prompts: "zingy" "overthrown" "minuscule" and "lunar."
It seemed such a miniscule thing to worry about when they were on the brink of a war that ministry were denial about, but she couldn't help it.
She had just been described as zingy, lemons and limes were zingy not people.
It wouldn't have mattered to her so much if Remus hadn't said, but it was him and no girl wants to hear a man she finds attractive describe her as "Zingy".
Not that Remus knew she liked him more than a friend and every time she was going to tell him her mouth would suddenly be overthrown by her brain which refuse to let the words come out.
Her brain would scream "You know he won't even consider going out with you because he thinks that being a Werewolf makes him dangerous"
Okay it did, but only during certain days on the lunar calender. The rest of the time he was fine, a bit grouchy near full moon and liked his meat rarer than most.
But she could live with it, she wanted to live with it and she knew he wouldn't want her to.
Maybe that's why she liked him more and more everyday, that's why she falls for him everyday.
Because he'd rather be unhappy than risk hurting anyone else. Trunks wanted to sometimes shout "I'LL TAKE THE RISK".
But she wasn't brave enough, fighting against Death Eaters was nothing compared to trying telling someone you are attracted to them.
Actually fighting a hundred dragons seemed easier in her mind.
Well maybe not easier, but once she was killed by the dragons she wouldn't be embarrassed about because she'd be dead.
Whereas if she told Remus how she felt she risked being completely mortified for the rest of her life.
Like she was when he called her "Zingy" because it was like he had just said "I will never find you attractive".
Yes, she know there were more pressing things to worry about but unfortunately the tiny selfish portion of her brain focused on Remus.
Which she wouldn't have minded if he had called her "The most beautiful thing in the world".
She wasn't, but she'd liked to hear him say it even if he said as a joke. She could live with it.
But oh no, she is put in the same category as a Lemon.
She hated lemons, stupid lemons with their zingness.
