After surviving the war, Hogwarts opens its doors for an unusual eighth year, giving its older students the chance to finish the education Voldemort interrupted. For {y/n}, returning to Hogwarts means seeing someone they’ve loved for years: Remus Lupin. They’ve been in love with him since sixth year, but back then, nothing could ever happen. They were too young, and Remus was their professor. Now, at eighteen, {y/n} is older, independent, and one of Remus’s best students—and the feelings they’ve spent years trying to outgrow haven’t disappeared. Remus notices. He always has. What he doesn’t know how to handle is the fact that his own feelings have begun to change. He wants to be loved. He wants to be happy. He wants {y/n}. But after a lifetime of believing his lycanthropy makes him unworthy of those things, allowing himself to want happiness feels almost impossible. With the war still casting a shadow over their lives and {y/n} becoming increasingly involved with the Order because of their friendship with Harry, both of them are forced to confront feelings that have been left untouched for years. Because {y/n} may finally be old enough to choose him. The question is whether Remus can finally believe he’s worthy of being chosen.
