Remus Lupin fell asleep on the Quidditch bleachers in their second year. James Potter and Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew woke him up, and they propped him up all the way up the stairs.

Remus Lupin fell asleep in the middle of Charms class. Peter Pettigrew took notes for the both of them all class and woke him up with a shoulder tap and a smile.

Remus Lupin fell asleep on the moving staircase in fifth year, and Lily Evans laughed so loudly she woke him up. He insisted he was just resting his eyes for a minute. They walked back to the common room together, and he threw an arm around her shoulder and they both pretended it wasn’t because he was too weak to walk on his own. 

Remus Lupin fell asleep in the common room, late in sixth year, and Sirius Black found him curled up on the couch with his Muggle book open on his chest. Sirius took the blankets off both their beds, because Moony got cold so easily, and dropped them over the other boy. He picked up his book and put it on the coffee table.

Remus Lupin fall asleep in the library, on top of his schoolwork in seventh year, and James, who was quite a bit taller than the other boy at this point, lifted him up and carried him to to their dorm room as gently as possible, grinning at his friend and shaking his head. He put him in his bed and turned off the light, heading outside, now late for the Quidditch practice he was supposed to be coaching.

Ever since their second year--perhaps even as early as their first--Remus fell into the nasty habit of letting Sirius' enthusiasm wash over him, no matter the plan at hand. If Padfoot was excited, so too was Moony. It tended to ease some of his pain and calm his irritability around the full moon.

He's beaming and he can't quite control it. "Brilliant. I hope there's something decent playing." He crossed to Sirius, pecking him on the cheek as he took the money and tucked it away with his wallet. "We should leave now if we want time to look over our choices." Half a moment later, and Remus slipped his hand into Sirius' now empty one, tugging him along toward the door. Consequences be damned.

"I've a crazy idea," Remus nudged Sirius with his foot to get his attention. "--Granted, it's nothing like we came up with at school, but it /is/ crazy all the same."

Sirius sat up and looked at him, “Those crazy ideas were generally mine and James’s. You were always the respectable, responsible one.” He smile.d “What are you thinking?”

Remus shook his head, smile on his lips, though he chose to keep the rest of his comments on the matter to himself. "We can nip down to the kitchens if you don't feel like waiting for dinner."

"You’ll recover, I’m sure," he huffed in response, propping himself up on his elbow as he turned on his side to face the other. "What happened to all the sweets I saw you buy last weekend?"

[howlingatthemoony]

"It isn't cheating, Padfoot, you're just jealous you waited to the last minute. Again." Remus fell quiet for a moment, looking between the knickers and his best mate. "Please tell me those aren't actually Lily's."

"Actually, Pete and I went halves on replacements for everything in his broom servicing kit. And then I got a grab bag of his favourite sweets, so…"

"Actually, Pete and I went halves on replacements for everything in his broom servicing kit. And then I got a grab bag of his favourite sweets, so..."

"You’re just—- brilliant at gift giving, have I ever told you?” Remus was almost surprised he couldn’t physically feel the sarcasm rolling off him.

"You're just--- brilliant at gift giving, have I ever told you?" Remus was almost surprised he couldn't physically feel the sarcasm rolling off him.

"… Yeah, Prongs would like these for his birthday…"

Since that post mentioned ravens pulling wolves’ tails, here’s a gif of that (and I hope to god this one gifs properly!).

but you're missing the point. If I, personally, was at Hogwarts at the time of the seventh book and was a Slytherin student, I wouldn't've said shit to the Carrows. The professors kept mum about it too -- because they were scary as fuck. Full-fledged death eaters that had run of the school. I don't know about you, but I would've been dead intent on surviving the year the best I could and if that meant turning a blind eye to the Carrows, so be it. 

Slytherins care about self-preservation and looking after their own -- but that doesn't mean all of them supported anything that went on at Hogwarts that year. They'd trust their own house over being seen as weak in another house's eyes, like, Slytherins are well aware of the prejudice against them but we are fucking p r o u d of our house despite it. Hell, the dark wizards that came out of that house are in the vast minority, but of course we only see the bad, and the shit that other characters give, because Harry doesn't care to change his opinion about the house on a whole when his three biggest antagonists are all from that house. 

But you know what? He sees Regulus, and what Regulus did. And he is grateful for it. He sees Slughorn, and yes, his opinion of the man isn't the greatest, but again, we're seeing a Slytherin from a hardcore Gryffindor (who is almost always surrounded by other Gryffindors) 's perspective. Sirius hated Slytherin, because he hated his family and all the dark arts shit they supposedly stood for. Dumbledore was incredibly biased towards the house as well. The books are tinged scarlet and gold and JKR herself says she's a lion. We aren't going to see Blaise Zabini helping out some Hufflepuff second year on their potions because Harry wouldn't. 

You have no idea how disappointed about Hufflepuff I am; I just don’t generally talk about it on my Slytherin blog.

The ‘It’s through Harry’s eyes’ argument doesn’t completely hold water. Harry observes plenty of other characters shitting on Slytherin; just about every named Slytherin ends up being a bit of a dick, regardless of whether it’s at all necessary for them to be so (Harper, anyone?); we don’t see other characters valuing Slytherins for their Slytherin traits - even Dumbledore says that crap about Snape and “Sorting too soon.”; apparently there’s not one single student out of 140+ in that House who has a Muggle parent or grandparent and is willing to take a stand against the Carrows because of that.

I call bullshit. Those are choices Rowling made, and I’m disappointed by them.

"Mostly I think you’re a twat, but sure. I think your nose is nice looking, Padfoot. Now drop my chocolate or I’ll hex it off your face."

"I wouldn’t buy that if I were you.."

Remus dropped the candy he'd been inspecting, turning to the girl with a slight grimace that he'd even considered the lot. "That bad, is it?"
