[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? That is definitely something Remus needs to consider, and when he gets a bit of time to actually think about it, he would realize that Regulus wasn't meaning he was going after her, just that he was telling him that she needed help and for him to go find her for it. As opposed to his gut reaction. I could see Remus approaching Regulus for more information specifically about everything that has happened as well as Intel on Severus himself - after all, out of all the DEs, Remus and the Marauders tend to dislike Severus more than the others.

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Oh, he was just about to protest but he shut his mouth and swallowed them. He knew that Sirius wouldn’t let him. Taking the glass handed to him, Remus took a small sip of the drink. There was that fire in the firewhiskey. It almost felt like it was welcoming him home. It helped he was around company that usually made him happy. Sirius was always so confident while he was not. Sirius was attractive and charming and well, he didn’t think he was anything like that. “I sincerely doubt that. You’re the one the women like. Not me.” He took in a larger swig of the whiskey and let out a breath, the burn in the back of his throat. Next time smaller drink, he told himself. He looked to Sirius wistfully before he quickly looked away. If he ever figured it out, he would very easily be kicked out of the group – or so he told himself. He as always afraid of that even if he trusted his friends with his life. He was just afraid that he was wrong. That he would do something that would drive them away, not the other way around. It would always be his fault if something happened. Like him admitting he kinda sorta like Sirius in a more than friends way. But everyone had crushes they didn’t act on. Except maybe Sirius. He seemed to act on any sort of whim when it came to someone he liked. “It doesn’t help your confidence if the people you’ve had your eye on don’t like you like that.” Remus shrugged. “They always tend to like you or James more. It’s not a bad thing, I don’t blame you for it either.” He grinned looking to Sirius with a slightly toothy smile. “It’s better I don’t anyways, you know. With my ‘furry little problem’.”

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Remus blinked a couple times. That was a last name? Man, they should change it. He knew some people changed their last names when it was like that. That was much worse than his own name. Wolf McWolf is better than Wolf McSh!thouse. “That is an interesting name. Sometimes I have a bit of a hard time pronouncing French names, my mouth isn’t quite used to moving that way.” No allergies from Storm? Hm. Well, he kind of just shot down his excuse for jumping away from the cat. “Well, its just a… instinctual response. I’m so used to avoiding… felines in general.” Even his friends weren’t felines when it came to their animagus forms. Then again, McGonagall. “Doesn’t help that my head of house transformed into a cat fairly often, scared the sh!t out of us somewhat often. Walking around late at night, and suddenly you hear a meowing. It was either McGonagall, or even worse, the caretaker’s cat, Mrs. Norris.”He bit his lower lip and then nodded. “I really appreciate it. Are you sure there isn’t something I could give you in return?” Remus wasn’t one to accept things without something in return. It made him feel powerless. Wasteful. Dumb. “I believe so. It’s the best of my senses.” He shrugged and sniffed. “But with great power comes great fragility and I can be thrown off pretty easily. Have to be careful or I’m stuck like this. It’s like suddenly you lost your sight. It’s very disconcerting.” He tilted his head for a moment. Something he read in a book ages ago made that seem familiar. Spiders flee before it… ah well, it was probably nothing. He would remember if it was actually something important. “Well then I suppose if I go gallivanting in the forest on Hogwarts Grounds I won’t have to deal with the spiders in there. They like to eat people.” He was just about to respond when he heard that last little sentence. His mouth was even open ready to respond and then his face reddened, and his mouth shut very quickly. Oh, dear god, did he actually just say that? “W-W-Well if you’re going t-t-t-to be bedding a-a-anyone I would suggest y-you try to keep quiet n-n-no matter where you end up.”

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Definitely. He needed a drink. Seemed like every time he liked someone, they turned out to fancy his friends, were his friends, or apparently turned out to be his sister in disguise. Great. So great. He had such great luck. However, actually luckily, he had finished his current mission for the Order, which involved a kettle and some string. He had been sprayed with coffee and had to change, so he was in his ‘nice’ clothes, as if he were planning to go out drinking and picking up girls. After all, he pretty much had his regular clothes, and his nice clothes. Well, they were old, but he always fixed them up, so they looked just fine. Not wanting to head home just yet, Remus decided to stop by the Leaky Cauldron. After all, he needed a drink and drinking alone was just even more depressing. Not only that, he didn’t have alcohol in his place, happens when you don’t have any money to really spend. Luckily, he had just gotten part of his stipend from his friends for his ‘job’ for working with the order. That way he had a little bit of pocket money. And that meant he could afford a drink. Upon entering, he looked around and his eyes fell on the back of a certain man’s head. It wasn’t surprising to see him here. Smiling, he walked over and took a seat next to his friend. “What’s a handsome guy like you, doing alone in a place like this?” Remus ordered a firewhiskey as well, leaning against the bar, his eyes drifting around the room. “I’m surprised girls aren’t swarming all over you already.”

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Remus had just got done with the mess Regulus had caused him. A mark above a house near Hogsmeade. That was never a good sign, especially since just before then Regulus had threatened his sister saying she had no more protection and that she needed to be protected. To him that said, ‘I used to protect her, but now I’m going to try to kill her’. And he wasn’t happy about that. He had arrived at his place, a little cottage not too far from the Potters’ late last night. This morning when he woke up – well it was more like noon when he finally got up, he had a massive headache. Quickly writing a note, he waved his wand turning it into a paper airplane he sent it off to the Potter’s house, addressed to Sirius. He knew Sirius was still living there, and it wasn’t far enough to need an owl luckily for him. The letter simply said he wanted to talk to him, around six tonight. That gave him a few hours. Taking a long hot shower, Remus mulled over everything he had heard in his head. Dumbledore knew about the situation and he was told that Rose was being looked for and for him to not worry about it. Yet he couldn’t not worry about it. Sirius was one of his best friends and he just needed someone to talk to about it. He doubted Sirius had been told yet since it happened just the night before, and so he would be the one who told him about his brother – and apparently the relationship his sister and his brother had. Seems they both had trouble siblings. Making his way to the Potter house, he had dressed nicely like he normally did, and knocked on the door like a gentlemen. Fleamont answered the door and welcomed him in, saying that they were expecting him and to wait in the living room.

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Thank you Uncle Alphard~ Remus unfortunately does not have a fortune, and is currently living off his friends, much to his dismay. The way I've written it is they 'say' they're paying him so he's focused on the order instead of getting a job, to at least make him feel a bit better. Yeah I love the oblivious sort of thing going on. If you would like to start the thread, you could, or I shall, because it sounds loads of fun!

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Having finished up his mission to set up protections for an at-risk muggle family, Remus made his way to London, walking down the streets. He had alarms set up, and if anything were to happen he could apparate at a second’s notice to combat any magical person who went near the family. Luckily it wasn’t hard to convince the muggles not to leave their home, in return for him doing their groceries for them. Getting them whatever they needed. They seemed to understand it was a dangerous time and believed he was a police officer tasked with protecting them from some unsavory people who had sent threatening notes. Good thing the Order had sent them those notes a bit ago in order to set this up anyways. It was still light out, and he had finished the grocery shopping, having delivered them just fine to the family. While he was invited to stay for dinner, Remus insisted he was fine and left fairly quickly. He made his way back to London in order to get his own groceries. He had found that muggle food was cheaper than wizarding food, and given his finances, he needed to be as frugal as he possibly could. He sent a letter recently to Lily Evans, asking if she would meet him here in one of the muggle bars. The letter was simple and just said he wanted to talk to her about something. They were friends, even after she broke up with James. They were very similar in many ways, and he respected her and her opinion. Settling down in the muggle bar, his groceries in a preservation spell inside of a small bag with an extendable charm and a weightless charm to make it not quite so heavy even if he put a lot in there… even though he hadn’t he money to fill that much.

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Haha yeah, he would definitely give Sirius a call, maybe we could have them meet at the Potters' place, given you know, the Potters essentially would welcome them in whenever, and it would be a good place for them to talk about things like this where they know no one who is... unsavory could overhear. As for the crush thing, I think that would be a hilarious thread to have. And Remus would be totally fine with him taking the girl honestly, because he's used to it, and he's pretty sure Sirius would never return the feeling, so he's more or less used to Sirius and his girl antics.

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? So Remus and Sirius are obviously good friends, and he recently just had a crisis where he definitely needs to speak with Sirius about - his brother threatened his sister and set the mark above her flat. Now his sister is missing, and he really needs a bro to talk to. On the thought of definite future plots, there's always them being on Order missions together, hanging out on the town, and things like that. Specifically, Remus has a crush on Sirius, and of course there's always that stuff that goes on with THAT sort of thing. Maybe Sirius could be trying to set Remus up on a date with someone since Remus is much unlike James and Sirius in that respect?

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Remus blinked, staring as Regulus hissed into his ear. He swallowed dropping his hand and his stare turned into almost a glare. Was he threatening her? No matter what she was doing, he couldn’t just let him hurt her like that. No matter her crime, she deserved help, not to be hurt. When Regulus ran off, Remus attempted to follow, but he lost him. Sniffing he attempted to track him via scent, but he was too far for that. His scent mingled with old scents and he had a hard time making it out. However, the sky suddenly lit just a bit, the green hue entering his eyes and Remus looked up to see the mark flying in the sky. Fuck. He was too late. If he had just not let his guard down, he would’ve been able to stop him. He had been lost in his own self-doubt. Without paying any heed to the danger it would be to run right towards a mark like that in the sky, he ran, his feet carrying him faster before he could even think to start heading that way. He dodged through those who were leaving the buildings to look at the mark, pointing at it. As Remus arrived, he heard the popping of aurors arriving. He threw his wand to the nearest auror so they could make sure he wasn’t the one who did it, and burst into the house, he found the two dead, and hurried upstairs. The scents wafted into his nose and he looked like he was going to vomit. Searching, he looked for Rose, but alas, she wasn’t there. But a door, glued. What was going on here? He could hear the aurors entering after him. They knew who he was, and that he was part of the fight against the death eaters, and so his wand was quickly returned to him. “Do you know who did this, Lupin?”“Regulus Black, I’m sure of it.”“Black? Do you have proof?”“Only my word. He threatened the person who was living here just minutes prior. I attempted to give chase but lost him.”“You know we can’t do anything with heresay.”“Just keep an eye on him.”“We were already doing that. He’s… provided to be tricky.” “Then try harder. This was where my sister was living. He’s going after her.”“If you tell us where she is –““I don’t know where she went! She probably ran knowing this would happen.” Remus punched the nearest wall and shook his head in frustration. “We can’t –“ “Yes I know you’re useless. Just do your damn investigation.” Remus quickly stormed out of the building leaving the auror standing there, staring as he left. Remus apparated away instant to report to Dumbledore and his friends the current crisis regarding his sister. Sometimes he wished he didn’t have a sister. And this was one of those moments.

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? He raised an eyebrow. Unfortunately for her little theory of all poor people voting the same people into power, well he wasn’t quite like all the rest. His reason for being poor… well it wasn’t anything he could control. “Oh no, nothing quite that tame,” He shook his head, “Let’s just say, my own father has called me ‘soulless, evil, and deserving nothing but death’. He works there, you know. Beast division.” He frowned and pursed his lips. Maybe he had said too much. If she knew his father, back then, thirteen years ago, it was something the entire ministry had buzzed about. Lyall Lupin, not afraid of werewolves, says it to the face of the leader of the pack of wolves that they’re all soulless, evil, and deserving nothing but death. But luckily the attack wasn’t ever reported and so they all thought he got off scot-free. Little did the world know. “It’s not –“ Well it was pride. It was the one thing he felt he could control at least a little bit. But even then, he knew he was fooling himself. He had to depend on his friends to support him, so he could have food, shelter, anything really. “It’s just… wasteful, to spend money on a meal when there’s other things that could… you know go towards other things. More important things.”

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? He swallowed thickly and shook his head, taking her hand. “Remus Lupin.” Fey. He recognized that name. If he recalled correctly it was an old pureblood family. Hm. So, she was very much likely a witch. That meant she was a lot more able to possible find his sister, but even then, he doubted it. The Order had been keeping tabs on her and even they had lost her several times. Remus gave her a small smile and shook his head. “Poor is a problem. I wouldn’t be able to provide for someone, let alone myself. When it comes to danger, well, I think I could bet you that I am in far more trouble than you’ve been in. You have no idea how bad it can be… If you knew, you’d have to call the Ministry and have me arrested.” He said that on purpose – without completely making it sound insane to a muggle, but it would make perfect sense to a witch. So if she didn’t seem to think anything of the fact he said she’d need to call the ministry… Well, then he had his answer for sure. “I can’t let you buy me something.” He fumbled through his pockets to find just a bit of muggle money and only a few sickles. He frowned. “I can just sit there while you oggle and eat.”

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? “I’m sure. They call America the ‘Great Melting Pot’. I’m sure you’ve heard much more unique names than mine,” He smiled a bit and regarded the kneazle for a moment. He attempted to keep his smile, but it continually faltered. He wasn’t quite sure Toma was right about the cat. Or perhaps it was his own instincts kicking in saying not to trust the feline. “I know, I know. My nose is stuffed up enough, it’d be a shame if Storm here made it even worse.”More clothes? Hell yeah. Remus was all for wearing more clothes. He could cover up his scarred-up body without people giving him weird looks for wearing a jacket in the summer’s heat. He could even cover parts of his face without getting those looks or feeling like he was going to have a heatstroke. “Unfortunately Hogwarts put a stress on magic itself, fighting, and how to make life easier with magic. Art is just something completely peripheral. Sure, it’s an elective… but I knew very few who actually took it.” Remus took the sphere and looked at it with great interest. “Oh, wow. This is beautiful. How did you make it? Can you make other shapes? Colors I’m sure you can change.”This guy was so much different than the people he was used to hanging out with – but it was a good difference. It was refreshing. A new look at the world, a completely different perspective. He couldn’t help but stare at the sphere for several moments, turning it a bit with his fingers. “Well, I do appreciate they didn’t dungbomb me. It would be harder to walk around smelling like that than this. Luckily I managed to hide a good amount of the smell, but my nose is… quite sensitive.” He chuckled when Toma saw the sign and he shook his head. “Sheets too.” With a wink he pushed open the door and entered. Luckily it wasn’t too busy today, though there were quite a few people even when it wasn’t busy. Remus walked over to the bar where there was a good distance between the two chairs he picked and anyone else and took a seat. He held up his fingers and Madam Rosemerta came over. He ordered a butterbeer and let Toma order whatever he wanted. “This place doubles as a hotel of a sort – there’s rooms you can rent out on the floor above. The food is pretty good as well. Basically anything you could think you would need, you can find somewhere in here – information is pretty easy to come buy given the variety of people.”

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? He looked like he was considering it for a moment before he shrugged. “Like I said, convince Sirius and you’ll convince me.” Pausing, a hand went to his chin before he shook his head. “He misses you.” He decided to leave it at that. He’d heard many things from Sirius, but at least in his interpretation of it, Sirius did miss his brother. Perhaps he misunderstood, perhaps not. He liked to think he understood Sirius fairly well. He was a bit afraid Sirius would be angry at him if he found out he told Regulus that, but he already knew it would at least help… tie this off. Remus was pretty sure Sirius wouldn’t ever settle down and stop running if he didn’t finish his business with Regulus here. Remus just gave him a small smile when he said that being an adult would be less stress. At least Remus knew growing up would just make things worse and worse, harder and harder on him. It was unfortunate that Regulus was finding it out the hard way, as it was still even difficult for him even knowing it was going to get harder. He was just a kid, they both were, and he felt bad for him. It wasn’t fair they were the ones who had to fight this war. But he was going to do it, and he would likely see Regulus in battle on the other side at some point. “Are you serious?” For a moment, Remus paused, just completely… floored by what he was saying. Could he believe him? The fact he mentioned she was SLEEPING with MULTIPLE guys, well that just spelled it out for him, especially with the fact that he was also throwing his supposed friend under the bus as well. And then he realized the real reason he paused instead of just saying those thoughts. He looked to Regulus and facepalmed, before letting out a chuckle. “Sorry, I’m just so used to my friends chiming in when I say something like that.” He cleared his throat and then finally he leveled with him, saying the following with complete seriousness. “I’d rather not fuck Severus. His hair is a bit too greasy for my taste, and boy that temper he has can be a bit of a turn off.” He stared at Regulus, hoping that it would at least lighten the mood a bit. He broke into a small smile before shaking it off once more. “So you were the one who fucked with my nose?”There were so many thoughts running through his head. What if the reason he found her familiar… and Lily – the real Lily – it would explain a lot of things, other than… No, she wouldn’t do that to him. He was her brother. All those close moments they had for those two short days… He needed to stop thinking like that. She wouldn’t… She would never do that. Why would she kiss her own brother? Why would she… oh god, she did try to stop him. Remus stumbled back a bit and placed a hand on his head. “No, no, no… You have to be lying – she – oh gods… please don’t tell me… please tell me you’re lying.” A hand went to his lips, his fingers tracing over them.

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? She was right, they had just met. He knew it was wrong. He knew he shouldn’t be acting like this, but for some reason, everything about her drew him in. He smiled looking to her cuddled at his side. Well, that was a good sign his actions hadn’t scared her away. Sighing, he leaned into her, taking a bite of his steak and chewing real good before swallowing. “I don’t think I could ever regret anything with you. I’m… more afraid I’d regret not… doing anything with you and you disappearing on me. It’s like a whirlwind for me. People leave all the time. I even drove away my own sister.” He sighed pressing a kiss to the top of her head and looking to the wall for a moment, staring in thought. It was true, he was afraid of her just up and disappearing just as fast as she had come into his life. Everything in his entire being was screaming at him that this was only temporary.
