Remus Lupin knew many things. He knew he was a prefect. He wasn't necessarily a good one, but he was passable, he knew. He also knew that he might be bisexual and might be mildly attracted to Sirius Black. He knew that his parents did not much care for him following his condition. He also knew that he was lucky to have found as close knit a group of friends as he had.
Yet, Remus Lupin did not know one thing and it was what was nagging him 24hours a day. You see Remus Lupin was a curious oerson by nature and he absolutely had to have knowledge about anything and everything.
So it was only natural that when he couldn't figure out why he was so attracted to Cassandra Lovegood, the resident Hogwarts seer, the one girl Sirius Black hated the most, he was determined to find out everything he could.
He wouldn't have bothered this much if not for the fact that everytime he went near her, something called out to him. Something inside of him was begging him to go snog her senseless and it made his face blush red whenever he thought of it.
He mustered up all his courage and went to ask Lily for advice.
Being his best friend and understanding his problem, she told him to be brave and ask Cassandra about it as she was the only one who could possibly have the answer.
So the next potions class he waited for her in the corridor outside.
She seemed spaced out when she exited, and naturally to his embarrassment, she crashed into him toppling them both on the floor.
"Hello Remus Lupin. I was waiting for you to make your move. Took you long enough." She said in an eerily calm and hollow voice.
Face flaming red, he got up and asked her how she knew. She just smiled sweetly.
Oh right, he thought. Seer. Still, he had come here to ask her…
"why am I so attracted to you Cassandra?" he blurted out.
"Oh Remus, I'm afraid it's your wolf that's telling you."
"what do you mean it's my wolf?" he said suddenly scared.
"We're mates Remus. We're the most suitable for each other. Magic herself wants us together. Our pack bond will be the strongest. No one else will be able to handle us." She said, still calm.
"bu-bu-but…" he could stammer.
"I'm sorry Remus, I know you dislike being a werewolf, but you have to accept sooner or later that it's what we are now. It's a part of us now. You won't be able to make a life with someone else Remus."
"what we are now? Do you mean you are also…?"
She smiled and nodded a bit sadly.
It was too much. Magic couldn't do this to him. He could choose his mate himself. No this couldn't be happening to him.
Horrified, Remus turned and fled.
