Summary
“What was he like?” Harry asks. There’s a ragged edge to his voice. He’s begging for stories of better times. It’s a child’s desperation hidden behind a casual and mature expression. It makes Remus’ heart ache.“Fearless,” Remus says. “Stubborn, though I suppose that hasn’t changed much.” They both laugh softly at this, and it’s quiet a moment before Remus speaks again.“He was beautiful and brilliant, and a bolder man by age sixteen than any adult I know, even now.” His head involuntarily offers an image of the Gryffindor lion, radiant, regal, powerful.“It was like his heart was on fire.”
Note
Title from The Promise by When in Rome, because I’m a sappy bastard and 80’s music is the ultimate wolfstar mood. This fic is a total caramel macchiato- it starts off bitter and gets sweet, but most importantly it makes your tummy warm and happy.Thanks for dropping in! Hope you enjoy!
