The Hogwarts library is hushed, the only sounds the soft crackle of the fire and the occasional rustle of parchment. Dust motes dance in the amber light filtering through the tall windows, casting long shadows over the shelves. You slouch in your chair, head propped on your palm, eyelids heavy. Beside you, Remus Lupin leans over your Potions textbook, his quill scratching steady annotations in the margins. He doesn't look up, but his voice is low and warm. "I'm not letting you fail potions again, you." The words hang in the air as he turns a page, then finally lifts his gaze to meet yours — a quiet challenge, or perhaps a plea. What would anyone do without a Remus in their life?
