what should i call you
Why are you still talking to me? You should just delete this contact.
i suppose if you want to be sensible yeah
but i kinda like you and im bored
Not my problem.
are you always this grumpy?
Usually with people I don’t know or like, yes.
im going to ignore that implication
What will your nickname be
Aren’t you just going to just ask my name?
well i know you wont tell me it so im being productive
At least you’re a quick learner.
tell me something about you so that i have smth to go on
If you’re so determined to give me a nickname, why don’t you tell me yours?
aha! i knew you were warming up to me
No comment.
Hmph. well i am padfoot
Do I even want to know why?
once i played a killer prank on these girls in our school and they got mad so they put scented neon menstrual pads on the bottoms of all my shoes
and i may or may not have not even noticed for an entire day and wondered why everyone was snikering at me
also i like dogs
omfg
You’re an idiot.
hah you finally dropped the punctuation
Why are you so insistent?
It’s like you know all my pet peeves.
And use that knowledge to annoy the hell outta me.
tell me them
were on a quest to find you a code name anyway, remember?
Fine. My pet peeves are:
People dog-earing, ripping, losing, or forgetting about my books
People with bad grammar and spelling
People who can’t take a hint
Idiotic jocks who think they’re so irresistible and perfect
Making tea and then going into the other room, forgetting about it, and coming back an hour later to find it cold and gross
Washing my hands and not drying them completely and the water just drips maddeningly slowly down my arm
Messing up my telescope by smudging the lens
Losing my reading glasses
you are such a cute little fucking nerd lmao
I’m not actually little.
sure you arent
I’m 6’2
no fucking way
Haha not lying.
People always assume wrong.
your sounding hotter the more we talk
Well, I’m not hot tall, I’m awkward dorky tall. Don’t worry, you have no competition.
that s debatable
anyway i think i only check three of those boxes
You asked my pet peeves. I gave them.
you said you have a telescope
Mhm, I do.
so you like astronomy?
Yeah.
ok lemme brainstorm
I'm a little scared here.
Starboy
Kinda basic.
astroboy
Less basic, but just weird.
astronerd
Yeah… no.
stargazer
Sounds like a telescope.
starwatcher
Kinda long.
moonwatcher
Have you read Wings of Fire?
Stupid question, definitely not.
Moonwatcher is a girl dragon’s name.
So, no.
moonface
That’s just ridiculous.
moony
Hmm
Hmmmmmm
HMMMMMMMMMM
stop being annoying and give me a straight answer
My, how the tables have turned.
And I’m afraid I can’t do anything “straight.” You can have a bi answer though.
did not see that coming
My sexuality, or me admitting it to you?
both
You’re not a homophobe, though, right? I’d have to block you if you were.
definitely not
my parents are homophobic arses and i dont want to be anything like them
and that would be hypocritical of me
*message not sent*
back to the topic at hand, plz
your nickname is an imperative part in the secret of friendship
You’re ridiculous.
Moony’s acceptable, I think.
you think so?
I honestly don’t hate it.
I mean, it makes it sound like I moon people, but as long as it’s clear that it’s about astronomy I think I can live with it.
yay!
Padfoot and Moony the unstoppable duo
out to conquer the world
and all that jazz
I don’t know about you, but my school started 5 minutes ago so I gotta go.
i mean me too
but
talking 2 you is more interesting than school
Go to class, Padfoot.
if you insist darling
Don’t.
bye hon
“So, who’s your new muse?” Lily asked Remus teasingly as they walked from their dorms to the main campus of Hogwarts High School.
“Huh?” He asked absentmindedly.
“Who have you been texting for the past half hour?” she clarified as they reached their lockers.
“Some guy who had the wrong number. He’s annoyingly insistent on becoming friends.”
“Am I correct in assuming you’re giving him the cute grumpy boy facade?”
“Not cute, just grumpy. I don’t understand why he doesn’t delete the contact already.”
“Why haven’t you?” Lily asked, smirking.
“Well, uh.” In all truth, Remus wasn’t sure why he hadn’t stopped texting this guy. He was incredibly annoying, no question. But he was honestly quite intrigued. He didn’t meet many new people, and social media provided a shield. This kid wouldn’t know how much of a loser Remus actually was. And he could think of many questions he was incredibly curious to have answered about the mystery boy. Besides, he couldn’t see anything wrong with more friends; unless of course he really was a sixty year old lying man. But he seemed quite genuine.
Lily observed his face while he thought through all this. Irritatingly perceptive as she was, she probably knew what each of his mental arguments were, so he didn’t bother bringing them up.
“Y’know, Rem, this sounds kinda like a Wattpad romance.” Her green eyes sparkled with mirth. “You’re gonna be hopelessly in love with him in a month.”
He blushed the slightest bit before folding his hands into his fluffy cardigan. “Lils, please don’t. I’ve never even met this boy.”
“Hmm, mysterious stranger. Sounds like an excellent fanfic to me.”
“Piss off. It’s too early in the morning to talk about potential romance.”
“While you hesitate to discuss your emotions about it, I’ll be saving my Pinterest wedding boards.”
He sighed at her before opening the class door and waking inside, ignoring her. He knew he hadn’t seen the last of her romantic ideas on the matter but didn’t have the energy to contradict her any longer. It was an exhausting-middle-of-the-week Wednesday morning and they had algebra with Mcgonagall, so he really couldn’t waste his strength on a pointless battle against the raging force that was Lily Evans.
