Remus John Lupin. Sandy brown hair. Bright green puppy eyes. Shy and smug face. Kind smile. Smells of chocolate and books. Scars.
Halfblood. Werewolf.
When his father Lyall Lupin claimed that werewolves deserve nothing but death, Frenir Greyback sought for revenge. Shortly before Remus' 5th birthday, on the night of a full moon, Greyback attacked Remus, infecting him with lycanthropy.
Lyall kept the identity and attack, a secret from everyone including Remus, fearing his recriminations.
His parents feared that he'd never attend Hogwarts. They were devastated that he'd never have a normal life.
He was homeschooled till 10.
His parents did everything they could to keep him safe and happy.
When he turned 11, Dumbledore met the Lupins and told them he'd accept Remus into Hogwarts and provide protection during full moons.
He was sorted into Gryffindor. The first werewolf to be sorted into Gryffindor. Of course there was a damphir in Ravenclaw.
Remus made his first ever friends and they turned out to be his best friends.
He didn't stand up to James and Sirius for bullying Snape or anyone because he was afraid that's he'll lose them.
He always feared rejection.
He had a great sense of humour.
Sarcasm was his second language.
The first two years of Hogwarts, he was silent and calm mostly, untill the three boys found out about his Lycanthropy.
When his friends found out about him in their second year, his world crumbled. He was sure they'd hate him.
But, the three boys laughed it off and loved him more. They swore to help him. That moment onwards, he was unstoppable.
The boys did. They became illegal animagi.
He always was ashamed of himself. He thought he was breaking Dumbledore's trust, putting his friends in danger.
He was the mastermind behind the pranks.
He never got caught.
The professors always had a soft spot for him.
He writes small poems.
He's brilliant at playing a piano.
He sings well too.
Though he never played quidditch at school, he was an excellent flyer and a keeper.
Though he is kind and calm, he could shut anyone with just one look. He has eyes of fire and eyebrows made of swords.
He never gets into fights. His glare and his commanding voice is enough to make others back off.
He was the only person who could keep James and Sirius out of trouble and also in their place.
He has a temper.
He has a sharp tongue.
No one dares to get into a fight with Remus John Lupin.
Or even bet against him.
He pranked James and Sirius brutally at school.
He played a two faced bitch to the teachers. Like wounded, calm werewolf, sushing his friends in the class. When in fact he got James and Sirius in trouble a lot.
James and Sirius were teasing Remus about his date.
"Bitch please," Remus muttered annoyed. "Shut the Fck up."
"WHO SAID THAT?" McGonagall snapped.
James and Sirius sniggered.
"Language, Potter! You too Black!" Sirius exclaimed with an innocent face.
James and Sirius eyes widened.
"Potter! Black! Detention!" McGonagall barked.
"What?!" They exclaimed.
"One more word and I'll take points!" McGonagall glared at them.
And when she walked away, James and Sirius turned to Remus, who had a satisfactory grin on his face.
He was always seen with a book. Reading. In fact he wpuld be Reading people around him mostly.
So, he knew almost everything about everyone.
Especially secret affairs and secrets.
His wolf abilities are a big bonus. He could hear and see 100 times better than humans. And have fast reflexes.
These always helped him and the Marauders to execute the pranks and get away from trouble.
He was the mastermind behind making the Slytherin boys' robes see through.
He managed to get the Slytherin quidditch team in detention for a month after he caught amd exposed them trying to jinx Gryffindor brooms.
Though he didn't stop James and Sirius from bullying, he was famous for giving other bullies hell. He called himself a hypocrite for that.
He was good friends with Lily since the first year. And especially when she found out he was a werewolf in their third year.
He always smelled of chocolate because he carried blocks of chocolate in his robes.
He loves hot chocolate or anything that is chocolate.
He regularly walked over to the Ravenclaw tower with his Ravenclaw friends to answer the riddles. Most of the time he got them right. Sometimes Lily tagged along with him.
He sassed the enchanted knocker a lot.
Always had cold insults just for idiots on the tip of his tongue.
He loved tongue twisters. Always muttered them under his breath.
He was excellent in defense against the dark arts. He always tried new spells.
He was clumsy at potions and Peter always helped him.
On his thirteenth birthday, his friends presented him a case with "Professor R.J. Lupin" permanent taped to it. They knew he'd become a professor one day.
He loved science.
He had pity for the werewolf who bit him, for a long time. But when he came to know about the truth why Greyback bit him, he was broken.
He was the one who found out about the Order of the Phoenix and told the boys.
They decided to join the Order. Peter was reluctant.
He was the first one to observe that Lily has been falling for James. Lily warned him to shut up about it. Later Sirius realised too.
He walked Lily down the aisle.
He was the first one to believe Kitty Pryde.
He found Kitty Pryde.
They always had a wonderful connection.
With her abilities, they always used telepathy to communicate.
He spent a lot of time with her. He easily understood her.
He was Kitty's first kiss. In her words, "first White guy to kiss" her. (They both were drunk and she had a tiny bit crush on him).
They baked cakes and cookies together.
They did their part-time job together. Painting. And sometimes Remus played the piano at the local pubs. Or some magic tricks, before they started the joke shop.
He went underground for Oder missions.
He lost his mother, Hope, at a young age.
He stayed away from his parents to not put any burden on them.
Remus and Sirius act gay when they're bored and many people actually thought they were dating. They usually do that around homophobic people to irritate them or to decline awkward dates.
He baby sat Harry along with Kitty. And sometimes Sirius.
He never talked about Kitty's death. It was a heavy blow to him. He just spends time alone when he misses her.
He's cool and clever 'Unca Moony'.
He took up a job as a music teacher at Harry's school to keep a close eye on him.
Remus : Come on Harry! You're getting late to school.
Harry : (pulls covers tighter) no...
Remus : I don't want to fight you every morning!
Harry : Then let me win!

(Remus helping Harry do homework)
Harry: Why does my teacher keep testing what I know.
Remus : Then what is he supposed to do?
Harry : Trust me?
xx
Harry : Mum married you...(frowns)
James : Yeeaaahhh (grins broadly)
Harry : But why?
James : (smile falteres and stares) ...
Lily : (sighs) Nobody knows.
xx
Harry : Leprechauns are fairies.
Sirius : Really? Are they?
Harry : I thought you went to school.
xx
Lightning struck close to their house.
"Missed me," Harry muttered.
xx
Harry : I want cupcakes for breakfast!
James : Cupcakes aren't for breakfast!
Harry : I know! They're an all day food.
xx
Sirius : Who ate all the pie?
Harry : Ninjas.
Sirius : Really? I don't see anyone.
Harry : No one ever does. That's why they're ninjas.
Sirius : ...
xx
They're watching Telly and a woman is showing them how to do CPR.
Harry : Why is she kissing?
James : She's not. She's saving his life.
Harry : I'd rather die.
James : ...
Sirius : Is he really your son and my Godson?!
xx
Harry : Why does mum wear all that make-up?
James : Well, to look pretty.
Harry : But she's already pretty.
James : (grins) Yeah. I know.
Harry : But dad, you should wear make-up.
James : ...
Sirius burst out laughing.
Harry : You too, Unca Padfoot.
Everyone agrees Harry got his sass from Lily and Remus.
Remus was never the mother hen of the group. It was always James.
He's still waiting to meet his mate. Kitty never told him who it was. But she gave him a hint.
He have a lot of admirers in the village and at school. Naturally, he avoided women.
