Twenty Things…
…About Remus Lupin
01. Remus didn’t cry when Greyback first bit him at the age of six. He didn’t cry when he first transformed. He cried the morning after when he was human once more and his mother explained to him that there was no cure.
02. At the Welcoming Feast in his first year, Remus was ill after cutting into his steak and it Moo’ed at him. He later found out the prank was done by his new roommates and decided to never speak to them again. It only lasted a week.
03. Remus remembers his dreams when he awakens. During his third year at school he had a series of terrifying nightmares that made him scratch himself bloody during the nights for two weeks straight.
04. Remus prefers tea to any other drink available. Among tea, he prefers strong, black tea and likes tea bags as opposed to tealeaves because there are fewer dregs to deal with.
05. Remus actually likes being a Marauder and some of his best memories are being in detention with his friends after a prank.
06. One of Remus’s deepest secrets is that he respects Severus Snape. Not out of guilty conscious or pity, but because he sees a lot of himself in Severus and realizes how things could have been for himself had things been different.
07. Remus secretly enjoys the attention he receives from Madame Pomfrey after his changes. All seven years of his transformations at school, she would read to him for a few hours from a book of Remus’s choosing. She is like a second mother in his mind.
08. Contrary to popular belief, Remus had a very hard time accepting his feelings for Sirius. He already had enough going against him (his family’s low income, his blood status, and being a werewolf) to even fathom falling in love with another boy.
09. Remus hates formal dances and parties because he truly believes them to be a farce. People act different and he thinks it’s wrong for people to act like anything but themselves. He does, however, love the look of clean-cut tuxedo.
10. During the summer between his fourth and fifth year Remus had nightly dreams about kissing someone with angel soft lips and silky black hair. He never saw the face of the person but he felt the safest he’d ever felt in their arms.
11. Of all the injuries and afflictions he’s ever had, Remus hates having a splinter the most.
12. Remus didn’t speak to Sirius from the point he found out about the prank against Severus all the way up until Christmas Eve. His Christmas gift was hearing Remus’s first words being, “I love you.”
13. Remus is really close to his parents, but has a bond with his father that is impenetrable. His father, actually, had an easier time with learning his son was dating another boy than his mother did.
14. Remus has a stuffed white teddy bear named “Stuffed Face” that has a missing arm and stitched eyes since the plastic ones fell off years ago that resides in a compartment at the very bottom of his school trunk. No one knows about Stuffed Face except for his parents.
15. Remus’s first kiss was when he was seven and when he was playing hide-and-go-seek with his cousins Michael, Gabrielle, and Alexander. He was hiding with Michael (who was the same age) in the broom closet when Michael kissed him on the lips. Remus punched him.
16. Remus’s favourite time is the hour between 3 and 4 a.m. He finds that everything is the quietest during this hour.
17. Remus believed Sirius to be the traitor. He believed Sirius capable of killing 12 people with a single curse. When Sirius was sent to Azkaban, Remus confided in Dumbledore that, even despite these beliefs, he hated the fact that he still loved Sirius unconditionally.
18. Remus was offered a teaching position at Hogwarts more than once from Dumbledore but he never accepted. Even when he couldn’t find work for nearly four months (and did some things for money he wasn’t really proud of), he didn’t accept. It even took Dumbledore, McGonagall, and (oddly enough) Snape two weeks to convince him to take up the DADA position during Harry’s third year.
19. Remus’s father died two weeks after Sirius escaped from Azkaban. The last talk they had was a week before his death and Remus expressed his dual nature of wanting to find Sirius to either kiss him or kill him. His father told him is was human nature to want both.
20. While Remus hates the winter months, his favourite scent is of wood smoke on bitter cold air.
