thea and i were having this terrible conversation about how remus undoubtedly writes

and publishes

VERY gay poetry that he never allows anybody else to see and suddenly i… had the worst thought… i thought of harry, after the war, in remus and tonks’ house, collecting teddy’s things, looking with sadness at the little bits of their lives they’ve left behind… and going into the closet and finding, at the very back, the suitcase that remus had had that first day on the train in his third year. and he flips it open, and underneath a few threadbare sweaters (covered in tiny black dog hairs) are all these books of muggle poetry under a pen name with remus’ initials… they’re advanced reader’s copies and they’re filled with remus’ notes and rewritten lines and there, on the bedroom floor,

silently turning page after page, suitcase propped open next to him,

harry realizes for the first time that remus and sirius were in love with each other
