the girl with the books | r.l

pairings: remus lupin x reader (she/her pronouns) genre(s): marauder era, strangers to lovers, fluff, humour summary: james and sirius notice that it’s not the books that keep remus in the library, and are determined to know whether you – the object of remus’s affection – return his feelings. word count: 3.0k warning(s): none note: this is a 2022 update of the fic of the same name that i wrote back in 2016! my writing has improved by leaps and bounds and i couldn’t help but edit and improve the fic that a few of you seemed to really love :) i hope you enjoy it if you liked the original, or that you find something new to read

The Hogwarts library was the place where you found the most solace. Even on the few days that the Scottish countryside provided undisturbed sunshine, like today, you preferred to curl up with a book on one of the grand wooden tables. You enjoyed your time in the library; reading fiction or researching different topics that you were curious about. While your friends encouraged you to enjoy the warm day with them, you easily waved them off in favour of the dimly lit library.

Remus Lupin could be found in the library as often as you, except it wasn’t the books that kept him coming back. The sight of you sitting in a corner reading by yourself was enough to draw his attention every few minutes. He couldn’t even help himself, his eyes had no choice in the way they continually found your figure, but he was in no place to complain.

Remus sat with his three best friends at the other end of the library, and they were less than happy to be spending the first sunny day of spring in the library rather than bothering the giant squid in the black lake. Now that the weather was no longer freezing, Sirius and James were desperate to cause some mischief, and Peter was happy to comply.

“What is it that you find so fascinating about a hall full of books?” Sirius inquired, lifting a book up from the table, grimacing at the idea of spending his free time reading, and carelessly dropping it back onto the table.

Remus flinched as the sound resonated throughout the library, capturing your attention as you gave the four friends an inquisitive look. For a moment, Remus held his breath, unable to tear his eyes away from you as you gave him a speck of casual attention. Realising it was just James Potter and his friends messing around, you happily returned to your reading without a second thought.

“It’s not about the books, Padfoot,” Remus snapped quietly, glancing away with reddened cheeks, the heat of your gaze on him still warming his body. “And I didn’t force you to be here,” he reminded.

“Well, no,” Sirius sighed. “But it’s terribly tragic for you to spend the first nice day Hogwarts has seen in-“

“A decade,” James chimed in, exaggerating to help Sirius make a point.

“A decade,” Sirius agreed with a nod. “Inside a hall full of books instead of playing outside with us! As your friend, it’s our duty to convince you to abandon this wretched place and do something more fun.”

“Well said, Padfoot,” James agreed, tall frame spread languidly across three chairs in a makeshift bed. “Dare I say, revolutionary. So, black lake, Moony?”

“I’m perfectly content here, thank you very much,” Remus refused, thoroughly entertained by James and Sirius’s usual dramatics.

“Who could be content in such an oppressive place,” Sirius complained, as if he himself didn’t have good grades and didn’t spend time studying in this very library. “Other than Lily,” he added, recognising the smitten glint in James’s eyes that he got every time he brought her up.

“She’s so responsible, my lovely Lily,” James sighed, pleased with himself. “I’m going to marry that girl, just you wait and see. It’s the only reason I come to the library with her.”

“You come to the library to chat up Lily? No wonder you aren’t dating yet,” Sirius teased. As James and Sirius went back and forth poking fun at each other, Peter pondered Remus’s words.

“If you’re not here for the books, what are you here for?” Peter wondered aloud, causing Sirius and James to glance expectantly at their friend.

Remus rolled his eyes, intending to fabricate a fantastic comeback that would distract his three friends, but even the thought of you caused his stare to drift back to where you were, now getting up to choose a different book to check out of the library.

He loved the way you did that. Even if you finished a book in your time at the library, you always made sure to bring a book with you.

Remus loved the way you did everything, really. He had always liked you, ever since you loaned him a quill when he forgot his during Defence Against the Dark Arts. Even now, it was his favourite class just because it made him think of you.

“Moony?” Sirius waved a hand in front of Remus’s face in an attempt to grab his attention. “Remus, what are you staring at?” he followed Remus’s gaze and saw exactly what he was staring at. “Oh,” he said, finally connecting all the very obvious clues together. “It’s not a what, it’s a who,” Sirius practically giggled with glee.

James’s head snapped in your direction, scrambling to sit up and launch himself next to Sirius in an effort to get a good look at you. This commotion once again drew your attention, leading James and Sirius to act as naturally as they could. They picked up the books stacked in front of them and made a big deal out of reading the text aloud, the act so comical and over-the-top that it couldn’t possibly be convincing.

You grinned to yourself, shaking your head in amusement, and slipped behind a bookshelf to look over the Herbology section. Frank Longbottom had recommended a delightful title on growing Dittany and other healing herbs, and you took the older boy’s recommendations very seriously.

Once you were out of sight, James tossed his book thoughtlessly aside, snatching Remus’s book from his grasp to gain his undivided attention. “Who is that, Moony my dear?” James asked, adjusting his glasses. They had slipped down his nose when he whipped his head around to look at you, and the act had made the boy a little dizzy.

“Who?” Remus asked, knowing that his performance was pitiful and unconvincing, and pretending not to understand regardless of this fact. “What do you mean?”

Frustrated that Remus was lying, and subsequently that he was an absolutely terrible liar, Sirius exclaimed, “The girl you were staring at!”

“Who is that girl? Do you know her?” James asked excitedly, taking a more enthusiastic approach than Sirius in hopes that it would make Remus open up about his crush.

“Girl?” Remus repeated, squinted as if he was giving this conversation a real good thought, before widening his eyes sarcastically. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, sorry boys.”

James and Sirius shared a look – having a silent conversation that Remus would promptly regret keeping them in the dark about his crush – before rolling their eyes and sighing. They had decided it: they were just going to have to catch you when Remus was gone.

A few hours later, it had darkened considerably since you first entered the library, and once you realised that you had been hauled up in the library for a considerable amount of time, you realised how hungry you were. Perhaps camping out in the library all day without a proper lunch wasn’t your best idea, but at least you knew dinner would be ready soon.

Rising, you stretched your legs before collecting all the books you had flicked through that day and moving to stow them back in their original places on the tall Hogwarts library shelves. Most of them were within a reasonable reach, slotting easily into their previous spots as you strolled happily throughout the library. However, one of the books was at a considerably higher place on the shelf, and you couldn’t put it away even on the tips of your toes.

With a huff of frustration, you stood flat on your feet and were about to reach for your wand when someone took the book from your grasp. “Here,” a voice said from behind you. “Let me help you with that!”

You turned just in time to see Sirius Black easily putting your book away for you, his friend James Potter standing nearby with an uncharacteristic spring in his step. Though James and Sirius were always a ball of energy in the classes you shared with them, the grins they sported today were difficult to identify. Perhaps mischievous would be the best way to describe the perfect simpers on their faces.

“Thanks,” you acknowledged his help with furrowed brows, wondering what Sirius and James could possibly be so ecstatic about. When the two boys simply stared at you, unmoving, you figured that they wanted something from you. “Did you two need something?” you asked, their unwavering smiles growing slightly unnerving.

“Oh!” Sirius seemed to realise that they were staring at you, and how disturbing this might be to a girl they had hardly spoken to. “Right! Yes, actually. We wanted to have a word with you.”

“Okay,” you nodded as if this wasn’t unusual. James and Sirius certainly didn’t seem to think their behaviour was odd, so you figured they were harmless on this particular occasion.

“We were just wondering if you knew Remus,” James explained himself, barely keeping still with excitement. “I mean, you do know him, don’t you?”

You nodded, still weary of where the conversation was leading. Sirius and James were known to be pranksters, and you weren’t sure if you were the next victim of one of their jokes. “Yes, I know Remus,” you confirmed. “He’s your friend, right? I speak to him sometimes when we’re in the library at the same time.” When Sirius and James linked hands and started jumping up and down, utter confusion overwhelmed you. “Uh, why do you ask?”

Noticing your discomfort, James and Sirius stopped jumping in favour of smiling at you. “I’m sorry, what was your name again? We share a few classes but between listening to the Professor and keeping James in check it can be hard to keep up,” Sirius said, his natural charisma making him instantly likeable.

“Y/n,” you introduced yourself.

“Nice to meet you, Y/n,” James said politely. “Now, this may seem quite blunt, but we want to set you up with our friend Remus,” he said matter-of-factly, followed by an encouraging nod from Sirius.

Your eyes widened at the confession. “Oh,” you said awkwardly. “I’m not going to lie, I had no idea that’s what you were going to say.”

“We have that effect on people,” said James, nodding sympathetically, as if people often had this reaction to the things they said. “So? What do you say? Give our mate Remus a chance?”

“Oh, I don’t think that’s a good idea,” you shook your head, trying to smile politely.

The smiles on Sirius and James’s faces faded. “Why not?” Sirius inquired, tilting his head to the side as he observed your nervous expression. “Do you not like Remus?”

“Why wouldn’t you like Remus?” James added, appalled and affronted at the mere idea of someone not liking their best friend. “You like reading, don’t you? Well, Remus might even have you beat! He’s the world’s biggest bookworm.”

“Incorrigible,” Sirius agreed. “Can’t get him out of this bloody library. And you aren’t helping, either,” he added.

“I’m not?”

“Of course not!” James exclaimed. “You only keep him here even longer than usual! Even on a day as lovely as this.”

“Perfect for wasting time,” sighed Sirius, lamenting the wonderful day outside they had missed out on. “So, how come you don’t like Remus?”

“That’s not it,” you said hurriedly, struggling to get a word in amongst their quick banter. “It’s just,” you sighed. “Why are you asking me this anyway?” you changed the subject, hoping it would take some of the heat off of you.

Luckily for you, it worked. “Well, Remus seems to have developed a crush on you,” James said casually, as if he wasn’t bearing one of his best friends’ deepest secret. Well, second deepest secret. “It’s really quite adorable. All the typical crush symptoms. You know, longing gazes,” James began listing the many qualities he had noticed in Remus during the last few hours. “Romantic, hopeless sighing whenever you’re around, losing focus, refusing to play with his best friends even on a day as perfect as this.”

“The list goes on!” Sirius exclaimed. You had to smile at the two friends, not only were they quite comical, but they seemed to be buzzing with endless energy. “I think it would benefit you to give Remus a chance. He’s rather attractive, our friend.”

“Though, not as attractive as us,” James added, winking to show that he was joking.

“Well we can’t hold everyone to such impossible standards,” Sirius said sympathetically, nodding to himself. “Still, he’s quite attractive! Charming and kind, too. All the things girls like. So are you in?”

“Well,” you stammered, feeling your face burning with embarrassment when you saw how intently Sirius and James were looking at you.

To save you from your answer, the sound of Remus’s footsteps and voice interrupted your sentence. “What are you boys still doing here,” he froze when he came into view, noticing the way Sirius and James had cornered you. “Y/n?” he asked, the picture of you hanging out with his two best friends nothing short of foreign and unfamiliar. Remus sighed in annoyance when he saw Sirius and James exchange guilty faces. “What have these two told you?” he asked you, already dreading your answer.

“We didn’t tell her much,” Sirius said, quick to defend their actions. “We’ve just been… talking,” he added, purposely leaving out the subject matter. James nodded rigorously, smiling innocently at Remus with visible panic in his eyes.

“I’ll talk to you both later,” Remus said to his friend, tone firm and borderline scolding. Then, he faced you with what looked like an apologetic smile. “Do you need help putting that away?” he asked, nudging his head to the last two books in your arms

You smiled, instantly more comfortable now that Remus was there. With a nod, you left Sirius and James behind in favour of putting your books away. “Listen,” Remus began, gently taking your books and putting them on the correct shelf in the Herbology section. “I’m really sorry for whatever Sirius and James said,” he let out a nervous laugh, easily reaching the high shelves thanks to his tall height.

“Don’t be,” you shrugged, charmed by Remus’s very presence. Something about Remus’s gentle spirit contrasted comfortably with Sirius and James’s craziness, and it settled your heart in a wonderful way. “They meant well, I think,” you smiled up at Remus. “Your friends are really nice.”

“I wouldn’t say nice, perhaps deranged is more accurate,” Remus joked, a pleased smile gracing his lips when you laughed. “But they’re pretty great. I can always count on them to say things I’m too scared to say,” he admitted, trailing off into a comfortable silence.

“I don’t know about them being deranged, but they did have some interesting things to say,” you admitted, fully intending to tease Remus once you realised his friends were telling the truth. He really did have a crush on you. “All about crushes, and longing gazes,” you added, grinning when you saw Remus turn slightly pink at your insinuation.

Remus groaned, lifting his hands to cover his face in embarrassment. “Oh Merlin,” he muttered, nervous laughter bubbling from his mouth. “I’m so sorry! If anything they said made you uncomfortable, I’m so sorry.”

“Don’t be,” you shook your head. “I wasn’t uncomfortable. Stunned by the sheer force of their energy? Definitely. But not uncomfortable. I guess it was just hard to believe,” you admitted. “Still is, really.”

“What, that I fancy you?” Remus asked, uncovering his eyes once you assured him that you weren’t upset. “Why is that hard to believe?”

“I don’t know, you’re… Remus Lupin,” you explained terribly. “You’re a Gryffindor and you’re funny and popular. Your friends didn’t even know what my name was and I’ve been in your class for nearly six years now,” you recalled, shrugging your shoulders good-naturedly.

“Sirius and James hardly remember their own names, I wouldn’t take it personally,” Remus wisecracked, though there was a seriousness in his eyes that made you believe his words. “Besides, the trouble is only just starting!” he added. “Now that they know your name, you won’t be able to get rid of them.”

“Sounds terrifying,” you joked back, grinning.

“There’s no escaping those two,” Remus said dramatically. “I’ve been trying to shake them for six years now, but they don’t seem to care.”

“Maybe I should change my name,” you offered.

“Why didn’t I think of that?” Remus burst out, laughing at your banter. You grinned at each other, so absorbed with the other person that you didn’t notice Sirius and James poke their heads around the shelf to eavesdrop on your conversation. “Y/n, do you think,” Remus paused, intimidated by the adorable way in which you turned your head and smiled at him. You were overwhelmingly perfect, and it was really starting to distract the poor boy. “Would you maybe…”

“Would I maybe?” you encouraged.

“Would you maybe want to go to Hogsmeade with me? This upcoming weekend? If you’re not busy that weekend, I mean,” Remus said, barely getting the words out without struggling.

“Oh,” the smile on your face widened almost impossibly so. “I think I might be busy,” Remus’s face dropped, eyes averting to his feet to hide his disappointment. “Changing my name to avoid these two boys I just met. However, their friend is pretty cute, so perhaps I could postpone my plans,” you added quickly, not wanting your joke to go badly.

Remus’s head rose quickly to meet your eyes, a relieved sigh leaving him. “Really?” he asked rhetorically, and before you could confirm your answer, you heard loud cheering come from beside you. Within seconds, James and Sirius leapt out from behind you and tackled Remus into a hug.

“Yeah Remus!”

“That’s our best friend!”

“Our best friend is finally going on a date!”

“Don’t scare her off,” Remus warned, pushing James away as he started peppering kisses across his face. “Seriously, stop it,” he laughed, not meaning a single word.

“No,” Sirius said proudly, pulling you in to join their hug. “Y/n’s just going to have to get used to us.”

You quite liked the sound of that.

re-blogging the original version here because I plan on heavily editing and updating this fic very soon!

The Girl With The Books [Remus Lupin]

Title: The Girl With The Books Fandom: Harry Potter Characters: Remus Lupin x reader, James Potter, Sirius Black, mentions of Lily Evans Warnings: None Word Count: 1,407 Requested: By my good friend Clary (yes, she has the same first name as Clarissa Fairchild and I envy her every day) Short Description: MARAUDER ERA! You have caught Remus’s eye, and the Marauders tease him when they notice Remus staring longingly after you: a girl who reads a lot. Later, Sirius and James walk over to you and tell you about Remus.

note: this fic is literally five years old and I was only 15 when I wrote it so I want to re-write and edit it. Coming soon!!

For a Gryffindor, you had always been quite shy. Although you were ever teased for it; at least not by people in your own house. Some Slytherins could be irritating, but you knew that most of them meant well. You were quite bookish and spent a lot of your time in the library, reading fiction or researching random things you had come up with and wanted to learn more about.

Remus Lupin sat with his three best friends, Peter Pettigrew, James Potter and Sirius Black at the other end of the library, mostly because Remus had to force them out of their dormitory. “What is it that you find so fascinating about a hall full of books?” Sirius inquired, lifting a book up from the table, grimacing, and putting it back down.

“It’s not about the books, Padfoot.” Remus snapped quietly, looking down as he saw you look up, thinking you might catch him gazing at you.

“Oh really?” James asked, leaning back in his chair. “Then why are we here? The only reason I usually come to the library is because Lily spends a lot of her time here.” He sighed happily. “She’s so responsible.”

Sirius let out a snort at his best friend’s words and rolled his eyes. “You don’t pick up girls in a library,” He informed James. “That’s what broom cupboards are for, mate.” Sirius sniggered to himself, and his friends chose to ignore his words.

“Classy.” Remus couldn’t help but chime, his stare drifting back to where you sat, now pulling your hair back into a loose ponytail. He loved the way you did that. Remus loved the way you did everything, really. He had always liked you, ever since you loaned him a quill when he forgot his, saving him from extreme embarrassment and the possibility of failing his OWL. The rule was if you didn’t come completely prepared, you weren’t permitted to take the exam at all.

“Moony?” Sirius waved a hand in front of Remus’s face, attempting to get his attention. “Remus mate, what are you staring-“ he turned around and saw exactly what he was staring at. “Oh,” Sirius said suggestively. “It’s not a what, it’s a who.”

James’s head snapped up and he launched himself next to Sirius, trying to get a look at you as well. At the sound and commotion, you looked up from your book, and James and Sirius proceeded to ‘act natural’, by whistling and twirling their hair, pretending they weren’t silently observing you.

You grinned to yourself, shaking your head slightly before getting up to put one of your books back.

“And who exactly is that, Moony my dear?” James asked, adjusting his glasses as they had slipped down his nose when he whipped his head around to look at you.

“What?” Remus asked, pretending not to understand. “What do you mean?”

“The girl you were staring at!” Sirius elaborated. “Who was she?” he asked excitedly.

“Girl,” Remus repeated pushing his glasses onto his forehead, faking some thought before he continued. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

James and Sirius shared a look, before rolling their eyes. They were just going to have to catch you when Remus was gone, they decided.

It had darkened considerably since you first got to the library, so you decided it was time to head to the Great Hall for dinner as you put all of your books away. You stood on your tippy-toes, attempting to slot a book back in its place, but you were too short to reach. Not that you were smaller than average, but it was pretty high up.

“Here,” said a familiar voice. “Let me,” you turned around, just as a tanned hand took the book from your hand and easily put it back in its place.

“Thanks.” You acknowledged with furrowed brows, confused that Sirius Black and James Potter were standing before you, looking incredibly ecstatic. “Um, how can I help you?” you added once you realised the two weren’t going to be leaving anytime soon.

“We were just wondering if you knew Remus,” James explained. “I mean, you do know him, don’t you?” he added.

You nodded, still unsure of where the conversation was leading. “Yes,” you confirmed. “I speak to him sometimes when he’s in the library. Why?” James and Sirius shared a look, before turning back to you, their grins widening even more if that was possible.

“I’m sorry, what’s your name again?” Sirius asked charmingly.

“It’s [Y/N],” you introduced yourself.

“Nice to meet you, [Y/N].” James cheered. “Now, this may seem quite blunt, but we want to set you up with our friend Remus.” He told you, and your eyes widened as a blush tinged your cheeks.

“Oh,” you said awkwardly. “Um, I don’t think that’s a good idea.” The smiles on Sirius and James’s faces became smaller by a fraction.

“Why not?” Sirius inquired. “Do you not like Remus?”

“Why wouldn’t you like Remus?” James added.

“That’s not it,” you said hurriedly. “It’s just… why are you asking me this anyway?” you changed the subject. Luckily for you, it worked.

“Well, Remus seems to have developed a crush on you,” James said casually. “You know – longing gazes and romantic sighing whenever you’re around.”

“The whole nine yards!” Sirius added, before facing James. “Did I use that term right? It’s American.”

“I think so,” James assured his best friend. You had to smile at the two; they were quite comical. “So are you in?”

“Um…” you stammered, your cheeks reddening again.

“What are you boys still- [Y/N]?” you looked to your left to see Remus freezing in his steps, his eyes traveling from Sirius and James, to you; standing with your arms clutched around a book you still had to put back, and back to his friends again. Remus sighed in annoyance. “What have these two told you?” he asked you.

“We didn’t tell her much,” Sirius said quickly. “We’ve just been… talking.” He added.

“I’ll talk to you both later,” Remus said, before facing you with what looked like an apologetic smile. “Do you need help putting that away?” he asked, nudging his head to the book in your hand.

You smiled, nodding and soon you both left Sirius and James to go and put the book away. “I’m sorry for… whatever Sirius and James did.” Remus said as he took the book from you and easily put it away, due to his tall height.

“Don’t be,” you shrugged. “They clearly meant well.” You smiled up at Remus. “You have nice friends.”

“I wouldn’t say nice,” Remus joked. “But they’re pretty great.” Silence followed his words, and you decided to break it.

“They told me some interesting things, you know,” You began. “All about crushes and ‘longing gazes’ and such,” You explained, putting quotation marks around some words.

Remus groaned, lifting his palm to his forehead. “Oh Merlin,” he muttered. “Look, if anything they said made you uncomfortable-“

“No,” you shook your head. “No, it wasn’t uncomfortable. It was just hard to believe.” You admitted. “Still is, I guess.”

“What, that I like you?” Remus asked, his cheeks turning a dusty pink colour. “Why is that hard to believe?”

“You’re… you,” you explained terribly. “You’re a Marauder and you’re popular… Your friends didn’t even know what my name was.” You recalled. “And I’ve been in your class for nearly six years now.”

“Sirius and James hardly remember their own names.” Remus joked. “I wouldn’t take it personally,” He added. “Would you…” Remus stopped.

“What?” You encouraged.

“Would you want to go to Hogsmeade? On Friday?” you remembered that there was indeed a Hogsmeade trip on Friday, and were really happy that Remus had invited you.

“I would,” You confirmed, grinning.

“YEAH MATE!” you heard cheering before someone yelped, and it got quiet again.

Remus rolled his eyes. “We know you’re eavesdropping.” He stated, and James and Sirius disappeared from thin air, pulling off a cloak. You gasped, stepping back, startled, but Sirius and James sent you a toothy grin. “You might want to get used to that.” Remus told you and you let out a laugh.

hi there, “winter-commandos” here 👋

many of you have probably forgotten about me, since it's been around four years since i last posted anything on this blog. it’s taken me that long to be comfortable enough to return to tumblr and keep writing, as i was mentally in a really tough place when i was still writing here years ago

this is why i decided to private my previous fics (except one because it often gets plagiarised, and i want the original to be public for the time stamp) as they contain many difficult memories for me and will always remained unfinished. i know that many of you cherished my stories and looked forward to me finishing the series i created, but this was the only way for me to continue on without constantly being reminded of the past. i hope you understand 🌸

i hope that anyone that’s still here can look forward to my return to this blog, i have written outside of tumblr a lot and always had other blogs here, so i feel that i’m better equipped to do things the way i want this time around 💜

The Girl With The Books [Remus Lupin]

note: this fic is literally six years old and I was only 15 when I wrote it, so I have rewritten/updated this into a current version if you’re interested in reading it you can do so right here!
