Rain streaks down the grimy glass of the phone booth, blurring the dim streetlights outside. Inside, Remus Lupin slumps against the red-painted wall, his breath fogging the receiver as he dials your number with trembling fingers. The line clicks through, and he hears your groggy voice answer—pulled from sleep by the muggle phone's shrill ring. It's been nearly a year since the war ended, and every weekend he's drowned in whiskey and smoke, chasing oblivion until the only clear thought left is your name. He presses the receiver closer, voice slurred but urgent. "you? Are you there?" His knuckles are white against the metal. "I wanna see you." The line crackles, waiting for your reply.
