Summary
Remus was fine. Absolutely, undeniably, irrevocably fine. Sure, he had just had the worst sleep of his life. Sure, he had woken up multiple times, either drenched in sweat or, in painful contrast, uncontrollably trembling as though his veins had morphed into pure icicles stabbing through his bloodstream. Sure, he was forced to sleep on his right side due to the fiery, unforgiving pain that plagued his left hip—which further irritated him as he could never get comfortable on the opposite side.But he was fine. This was fine!Sirius had been giddily badgering on about this grand idea he had for the perfect Christmassy outing for an entire week now, and there was absolutely no way Remus was going to ruin it for him by letting this whatever the hell this was get the better of him.So — naturally — Remus completely ignored all the red flags that were desperately waving in his face, shrieking for his attention: “Open your eyes, you twit!”—-Or, Remus and Sirius go on a Christmas themed date, and Remus is absolutely positive that this pain in his hip is no cause for concern.Ultimately, he’s dreadfully wrong.
Note
Hello, hello!I just want to preface this by saying:1. I have never been to London. Please ignore any inaccurate descriptions 😛2. I have absolutely zero medical knowledge. Literally none.Essentially what I’m saying is I am not even slightly qualified to be writing this. But that’s the beauty of fiction: realism is not a key factor. Or any kind of factor, for that matter.ANYWAY, enjoy!⭐️SIDE NOTE: This chapter was updated 21/2/25, just in case anyone hasn’t read the updated version! There aren’t any major changes but I think it’s still worth the read. I haven’t actually read it fully myself though as I am lazy af so if you see any major mistakes please let me know :)
