Neighbor AU - @wolfstarmicrofic - word count: 351

His mother had drilled it into him since childhood: always greet your new neighbors.

Of course, Remus turned out to be a grumpy, introverted twenty-something with the personality of an elderly old man but he still stuck to Hope's advice. So, every time someone new moved in nearby, he plastered a smile on his face and arranged a plate of cookies, hoping against hope (ha!) that the newest neighbors weren't chatty people.

They usually were. That was the type of place he lived in: everyone wanted to know everyone's business, and everyone was just a bit too friendly. So when someone move into the flat next door to him, he mentally prepared himself for an hour-long conversation about Mrs. Next-Door's kids and Mr. Down-The-Hall's door decorations, cursing the building for being so transient.

But when he knocked on the door of Apartment 208, he almost dropped the tray he was holding.

This neighbor was not the norm. He was Remus's age, with a leather jacket and a ripped band tee, long hair that made Remus want to grab at it a bit and streaks of eyeliner under his eyes that made him look sort of...punk.

God, he looked lovely.

"Cookies?" The man asked, blinking down at the tray Remus held loosely. "Are you part of the greeting committee or something? That lady down the hall already tried to get my whole life story."

Hardly able to help himself, Remus snorted. "That's Mrs. Nelly, she's a gossip. I hope you didn't tell her a word."

But the other man grinned mischievously. "Oh, I did. It was all lies. She thinks I'm a prostitute from Las Vegas. I've never seen anyone leave so fast."

Remus let out a bubble of laughter. "Well, all the ladies on this hall love to gossip with me, so I happen to know that her son ran off with his wife's sister last month."

"No shit!" The man grinned. "I'm Sirius. Come in and tell me more?"

And for the first time, Remus wasn't dreading the possibility that this get-to-know-you conversation might take up his entire afternoon.

Sirius totally is the kind of guy to use overconfidence and humour as a coping mechanism. He can fluctuate from "I'm the greatest gift to wizard kind" to "I don't deserve to even exist, I'm sorry for breathing" in seconds and I don't know how Remus manages to keep up with it, but I'm suddenly beginning to understand his addiction to coffee and why he's so tired all the time.

Ever hear a song someone else is playing and just think "this is so marauders coded" BUT YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING CAUSE HOW ON EARTH ARE YOU GONNA EXPLAIN YOU HAVE CREATED YOUR OWN LITTLE WORLD BASED OFF THE HARRY POTTER FRANCHISE ABOUT HIS DAD AND 3 BEST FRIENDS.

Remus: Goodnight, I love you.

Sirius: You love me?

Remus: Sirius, we’re married.

"It takes strength to forgive but I don't feel strong." But it's Remus after The prank.

Actually bitch it wasn't 🤪so Sirius black core 🤪 when you were blow drying your hair in a too big tshirt with the neckline cut off so it would slip off your slutty shoulder while blasting family line and singing along it was so mentally unhealthy go get checked

rip Remus Lupin, you would've loved listening to Cardigan.

ok so feel free to correct me but I’ve recently been rereading the Harry Potter series as I read the majority of it (and watched all the movies) when I was like 8-10 and I could be wrong but if they have the use to Veritiserum (the truth potion) why doesn’t the Ministry of Magic just use that for trials?? Especially during the point where they are trying to catch death eaters. Did I miss something where it says that they can’t or did JK just leave a weird plot hole.

Remus: "I kissed Sirius."

Marlene: "Wow, I owe James so much money"

The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black Pt1

Next on the list is by far the most known family as well as the largest which is why i'm splitting this into multiple parts. The Black family colors is black, green, and gold and their Hogwarts house is of course Slytherin. Their family motto is Toujours Pur which is French for always pure. Despite popular belief there is nothing in their family line that would lead us to believing they are French. I know we all wish they were and I too blush like a highschool girl at the thought of Sirius flirting with Remus in french or Regulus only being nice to James in french. Don't worry you're not alone.

The family experienced their "rise to fame" after the fall of the House of Gaunt. They were still pretty well respected within wizarding society before this, but weren't really considered "royalty" until what was thought to be the end of the Gaunt's male line.

The family tree is located in the drawing room of the family's town house in London called Grimmauld's Place. The tree is bordered with gold trim that has the words "En stirps nobilis et gens antiquissima Black" repeated on it, which translates to " A noble and ancient Black race". The family is known for having pitch black hair and pale skin. Along with that they are known for their rather extreme views on blood purity and their long history of incest. Due to the long history of incest members of the noble house of black are not known to live for a long period of time, and often times are very sickly. However despite their sickly health they are known to have strong magical cores and are skilled in many different forms of magic.

It is unclear as to whether or not Grimmauld's Place is the family's primary residence but I imagine that due to the family's extensive wealth (and willingness to flaunt said wealth) they have a manor much like the Malfoy's do.

The Black's are known for their numerous traditions and my favorite tradition that they have is their naming tradition. All members of the Black family have a star related name and sometimes when a person marries into the family they will change their name to match this tradition. The female members will often still stick to this tradition when marrying and having their own children.

It is no secret that the Black family has very extreme Blood purist views and where avid supporters of Voldemort however despite this only 3 members out of the many Blacks family members alive at that time where actually Deatheaters.

The family's reputation took a huge hit after the first wizarding war and the last name Black no longer held any power. People in the wizarding world begin to regard them as a family full of mad people, and in 1994 the last bearer of the family name, Sirius Black, was killed by his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange nee Black effectively putting an end to the noble and most ancient house of Black.

Sirius Black proposing to Remus Lupin, because he would never do it himself- he has too much self-hatred and self-doubt.

Sirius Black getting down on one knee and asking if, maybe, Remus would be willing to love him for the rest of their lives, because he was absolutely sure that he would love Remus for the rest of his.

Remus Lupin tearing up and muttering in thrilled disbelief, “Are you serious?” Because he’s so happy and excited and he’s not thinking straight.

Sirius Black grinning tearfully and saying, “Yes, I’m Sirius. Sirius Lupin, hopefully.”

And Remus just fucking sobbing.
