Remus had obviously not learnt from Lily's experience with lists. Why, you may ask.
Because, when bored in History of Magic - not two days after the whole List fiasco - Remus began writing out his own list. This one had a less subtle title - 101 Things Moony Loves About Padfoot.
What could he say. Remus Lupin was a whipped man.
And so it begins...
101 Things Moony Loves About Padfoot
1. His smile.
2. His eyes. (They light up whenever he is happy, and it melts Remus' heart everytime.)
3. His body. (No, not in the perverted way. Get your mind out of the gutter.)
4. The way he always shortened Moony to Moons. It made Remus feel special, if he were to be honest.
5. The way he accepted him in second year, when the three boys had found out that he was a werewolf. Sirius had promptly asked if he had a mate and responded to his own question with "now you have three." and cackled gleefully.
6. His animagus form.
7. His strength as a Beater.
8. His strength when dealing with his family.
9. His adorable, goofy face when he saw food.

11. How he always had an opinion about everything, and was not afraid to say it.

14. He was always willing to cuddle.
15. His boundless energy.
16. He had grown up. (Not as much as Prongs, obviously, but he had. And that's what mattered.)
17. His playboy ways. (Remus knew he had a problem when he saw his hand writing this down. He couldn't believe he thought like this. Honestly, he was ashamed.)
