fun times with being a teenage werewolf
[It was time to cover werewolves in DADA, always a bit of a rough subject for Remus. Not because it was difficult, he hardly had to take notes for it, but many of his classmates had opinions, and this year's teacher of the subject seemed all too willing to encourage "class discussions".
So it just devolved into people sharing horror stories of things they'd heard had happened to a friend of a friend of a friend's cousin's mom at the hands of a werewolf, speculation on whether the wolf half "leaked" into the human half, and all sorts of hideous rumors that Remus couldn't begin to dispute without outing himself.
Instead he slowly slid down in his chair, wishing the floor would swallow him up. Why couldn't he have been too sick to come to class this week? Or would that have been too obvious?]

no subject
He can sense the way the conversation is going; it's wholly expected, but it still makes him intensely nervous.] I like to think so. I know you don't always agree with my other choices in friends, but... [Merlin, this sounds an awful lot like someone's about to ask someone else on a date. Probably looks it too. Good thing no one else is around, the rumors would be intolerable.]
no subject
[ AKA people that don't have to worry about that kind of thing.
She almost laughs at what Remus says, but it's really not the right time. ] I quite liked James today, honestly. [ There's a beat's pause as she realizes she's called him by his first name—there's a reluctant flush to her cheeks and she glances away, pressing on. ] Anyway. I'm really glad we're friends. [ It really does sound like that, she's realizing, and she's actually a little flustered this time, really very glad there's no one else around. ] And you know I'll be your friend no matter what, right?
