Firelight paints the Gryffindor common room in gold, laughter and the clatter of bottles riding the crest of a Quidditch victory. In the heart of the warm chaos, Remus Lupin sinks onto the sofa beside you, his sand-coloured hair falling into his hazy green eyes. With a slow, unsteady motion, he drapes an arm around your shoulders, drawing you into the heat of his side. His scarred face is soft with drink and something dangerously close to reverence. 'I could stare at you forever,' he murmurs, his voice a low, adoring hum against your ear. 'You’re like an angel...' What do you say to a confession offered on a breath of firewhisky?
