Day 14: Genderbent. So in this chapter Remus is a woman named Luna. I wanted to keep the wolf/werewolf association in his/her name. Nymphadora= Satyros. I figured Nymph was like the Nymphs in Greek Mythology, and Satyrs were kind of like the closest male equivalent I could think of. 'os' sounded like a good male name ending I guess. Sirius is 'Canis' as in 'Canis' major, so his name is still related to his star, and also dogs.

Thank you for reading, and hope you like it.

I don't own Harry Potter, but I do own this interruption of these weirdos.

In a parallel universe a woman named Luna Lupin was once again trying to turn down the attentions of Mr. Satyros Tonks.
"Listen Satyros…" Luna started.
"Luna! How many times have I told you! Don't call me that. It's a horrible name. I really don't know what my dad was thinking choosing such a name."
"Alright, Tonks…listen…I'm quite flattered by the attention, but I have told you that I'm too old for you." Luna pulled a chocolate bar out of her sleeve and started nibbling on it nervously. "You are a good man, you deserve someone young and whole. I am scarred, aging fast, and also poor. You should give up on me. Please." Satyros was momentarily distracted by the smudge of chocolate in the corner of Luna's lips. Then he sighed.
"Luna…" He tugged at his spiky pink hair. "I've told you before, I don't care about any of that. Well no…it's not like I don't care. It bothers me that you dislike parts of yourself. Still it won't stop me from lo—fancying you. I promise."
Luna looked like she was restraining herself from banging her head against the table. And she was supposed to be the sensible one. "Merlin Tonks, I don't know what to say any more."
"Say you'll go out with me," Satyros offered hopefully.
Luna scratched one of the long scars running down her face. Satyros knew Luna was self-conscious about them, but he thought there was something beautiful about the thin white marks. Every time Luna smiled through her scares and premature greying hair, Satyros was reminded of her immense strength. He was reminded of one of the many reasons he fell for her.
"I'll…I'll consider it," Luna said finally. "Now if you excuse me there was this fascinating Defense book that I've been meaning to read." Satyros stomach leapt excitedly.
"Of course…yeah…" He watched her go. Then he felt someone's hands covering his eyes. He grunted and went for his wand.
"Guess who?" A sly voice asked him.
Satyros rolled his hidden eyes and lowered his wand. "Seriously Canis, you have to stop sneaking up on me."
"Nonsense little cousin. You should've seen the look on your face. It was hilarious! Anyway, it's your fault for being surprised—aren't you supposed to be an auror?" Canis swept her black bangs away from her face.
"I am an auror. You're just sneakier than any person should be allowed to be."
"Why thank you. That'd be a badge of honor among the Maurders." Canis grinned. It was a secretly aching underneath sort of smile. Satyros recognized the expression as one that Luna wore frequently. The two marauders missed their old days of unbroken mischief. Satyros thought he good be good for Luna, he just wanted to see her smile unburdened. Though that would never happen if all he was doing was chasing after her and constantly getting rejected. He groaned and leaned his head against the table. "What's up?" Canis wondered.
"Your best mate. Luna is amazing, but she insists she's not and she won't go out with me."
"Really, I haven't seen someone this bad off since Jamie was pining over Lyle."
"Please, my love life is not nearly as epic." Satyros waved his hand dismissively. Canis patted her cousin's head.
"Don't worry Sat, Luna will come around eventually. She likes you, she's just afraid to get involved with anyone."
"I hope you're right Canis. I really do. I just don't know how to get past that fear."
"First off, I'm always right!" Canis puffed out her chest. "Secondly, for diminishing inhibitions I suggest copious amounts of firewhiskey. My best bet would be to sneak it into her precious chocolate. Ooh, I can see it now, this will be great!" Canis ran off laughing.
"What? No, leave her alone Canis!" Satyros chased after her, his hair turning purple with worry.

Still, he had to admit, Canis had given him some hope.

And there we have another bit. Please continue to review, it really helps motivate me to continue to write. Also, you can give me suggestions of what you'd like to see in the future and I can try to incorporate them.

Tomorrow will be 'in a different style clothing' which could mean anything really, but sounds like a fun one.
