Unrequited?

Chapter 1

Right I know what you are thinking…me Angryteabag, usual Willow/Giles fluff writer. And here I am writing a Harry Potter fic. I know shock horror faint!

But well, I got addicted at role-playing Lily/James, and now its lead to reading it :D

Well please don't judge too hard. It starts off Remus/Lily, but its rated Lily/James for a reason. Also no Peter, I just don't like him, have him wherever you want, I don't care….

I dont own Harry Potter, if i did id be stalking Ewan McGregor slightly more efficiently.

Remus's POV

I Remus Lupin am in love. A werewolf in love (A/N: sorry stealing from Joss Whedon…). I could blabber on about her 'luminous hair' or 'sparkling eyes' but to be honest I can look beyond the beauty to the brain. We've been studies mates for 6 years now, and I've realised for the last 3 she was doing it out of pity. She found out what I was, a werewolf. I shouldn't even have the right to look upon her. But I do, and it is everything to me. Yet she stays by me, as a friend and as a companion, but never to be my lover. However I still adore her, still need her. I still love Lily Evans.

Like me she's never been in a relationship, deemed to belong to James, no boy ever tried to get her, fearing what James would do. James is the one she should be with not me.

He's not a monster. Not a being of evil.

I mean who wouldn't fall for his good looks and Quidditch skills.

So as I walk this lonely road back to the hospital to the Griffindor Common room, back to my endless suffering known as existence. Maybe I'll tell James about my feelings for Lily. Maybe I won't hurt him, or her in the process and maybe I don't have to loose my closest friend tonight.

The common room is pretty empty. It's only a few weeks into the term but already the seventh years are piled up with work.

James has come over from his and Lily's head common room to help Sirius with his Charms essay.

Not that they are actually doing it.

I sit with them a while, occasionally letting my thoughts drift to the redhead on the other side of the castle.

They've stopped talking and are now staring at me.

I smile weakly.

"You ok, Moony old pal?" asks Sirius with a slightly worried look on his face. He's assuming I'm still suffering from the full moon last night.

"Yeh Padfoot." I reach over and clasp him on the shoulder. "I need a bit of a private word with James…." I trail off, James looks at me quickly and Sirius collects his things.

After he leaves up the staircase James turns to me. "Is everything ok Remus?"

I start to get fidgety, how can I tell my best mate that I love the woman he loves.

"James I need to talk. I need to talk about Lily." I pause, he jumps in before I can elaborate further.

"Oh Moony! Why can't that girl just realise I love her!" he stands up. "Tell her I'll lay off her ok?"

I looked shocked at him. I manage to stutter out. "No, James no it isn't that. It's just that I, I love Lily." He stares at me incredulously. "James I LOVE Lily" I repeat in a soft voice.

He stares at me a bit longer, the portrait opens, I see a flash of red head before James's fist connects with my face.

Ok Ok, I know. Been done a million times before right? Well hopefully it'll be a bit different. I have the next 9 chapters planned out, so Ill be getting to them soon. Do you want it to be Lily/James or Lily/Remus
