Summary
On a fateful Halloween night in 1981, Remus Lupin is not there. In fact, he doesn't find out until several days later. Now faced with a betrayal, a loss, and a chance for a happy ending, Remus only needs to be brave enough to face it head on.
Note
This won't be a super long fic, but I do have several scenes planned out in my head.I reread Prisoner of Azkaban and I was like "why did Remus never talk to Sirius after he was convicted!?!" It sounded like he just immediately accepted that his oldest friend (maybe lover) was guilty of murder?!?! Like okay, yeah right. Let Rowling blame it on Remus being poor, I guess.This fic is basically just a what-if idea because Remus Lupin deserved better I guess in my head Remus and Sirius started dating some time during their 7th year and moved in together after they graduated and joined the war effort. So...math...that would mean they've been going out for about 4 years by now.Also: I do not support any of Rowling's transphobic views
