25 Things You Never Knew About Remus Lupin:
1. He went to a library for the first time when he was eight years old, and he was awestruck by the shear quantities of the books. Each one represented a new world, a world quite unlike his own tortured as it was by his monthly transformation. He found in books the ability to escape from his demons at least for a little while.
2. When he got his Hogwarts letter he thought it was some kind of sick joke meant to poke fun at the half-breed boy.
3. He's rather obsessed with chocolate-he's always thought it could cure any ailment emotional or physical. Some say laughter is the best medicine, Remus holds that chocolate trumps laughter any day.
4. He was sure that his friends would reject him when they found out that he was a werewolf. But, they didn't, rather they seemed rather offended at the idea that they could ever dislike him for it. He's never been so grateful for anything in his entire life.
5. He considered it his personal obligation to keep his friends from getting into too much trouble, which incidentally did not include making every Slytherin have red and gold striped hair.
6. He loathes fruit of any kind dipped in chocolate. He thinks it should be a crime punishable by death to pollute chocolate with something so, so-healthy.
7. He was always rather bad at Potions.
8. He has a slight problem with sarcasm-which is a nice way of saying that he hardly spoke a sentence that wasn't heavily layered in sarcasm, and he had no intention despite Sirius' many complaints of holding up a sign indicating whether or not he was being sarcastic at any given moment.
9. He was the one who discovered the secret passage to Honeydukes, which is really no surprise considering his obsession with all things chocolate.
10. He actually liked a History of Magic-once you got past Binns' dry monotone it is actually quite interesting despite Sirius and James' vehement declamations of the subject.
11. Even though he protested that pranks were infantile a fairly regular basis during his Hogwarts career he was the mastermind behind many of the most spectacular pranks the Marauder's ever pulled.
12. To this day he holds the record for checking out Hogwarts, a History, not even Hermione Granger has read it as many times.
13. During sixth year he, James, Sirius and Peter snuck out of Hogwarts in the middle of the night, went to the Hogs Head got completely and totally drunk and wandered around Hogsmeade doing Merlin only knows what. All Remus knows is that every time Madame Rosmerta looks at him she flush bright red and mutters about needing to go check on her stock of butterbeer.
14. He was the first to forgive Sirius after the Willow incident.
15. His biggest fear hadn't always been the full moon; it used to be losing his friends. But, when James was dead, Sirius was in Azkaban and Peter appeared to be dead as well the full moon became his biggest fear. He couldn't stand spending those full moons alone recalling how his friends had once been there and made his own personal hell somewhat easier and how they were never coming back.
16. The sorting hat almost put him in Ravenclaw.
17. Remus has always been a bit of a Grammar Nazi, he absolutely loathes it when James says "me and Sirius" instead of "Sirius and I," and don't even get him started on people writing "their," instead of "they're," why, the very thought of it makes him shudder.
18. …and, no, he does not have obsessive compulsive disorder, thank you very much.
19. He always wanted to be a teacher, ever since the professors at Hogwarts gave him the chance at a proper education.
20. He convinced Lily to give James a chance as a favor to him and his last few dregs of sanity.
21. The most awkward moment of his entire life was probably when he began teaching at Hogwarts and Dumbledore told him to call him 'Albus,' after all they were colleagues now, weren't they?
22. He doesn't think he'll ever be able to forgive himself for not trusting that Sirius hadn't betrayed Lily and James especially since Sirius always accepted him at face value.
23. He didn't date much at Hogwarts-he never wanted to involve someone else in the horrors that were his transformations, also he didn't think that anyone who knew that he was a werewolf would ever love him that way.
24. …until he met Nymphadora Tonks.
25. The proudest day of his life was when Teddy was born.
