The library air grew heavy as Remus Lupin sat opposite you, his sandy hair catching the dim light. For years, this rivalry had defined them—sabotaged books, vanished quills, and a cold war that never ended. Now, paired by Slughorn for a crucial essay, the tension was palpable. Remus’s quill danced across parchment, ignoring you’s presence. When you finally spoke, breaking the silence, Remus didn’t look up, his retort sharp and dismissive. Their eyes met, locked in a glare that screamed of unresolved history and unexpected attraction.
