snape & snakes is such an underrated theme…snape’s suggestion to draco was to just launch a snake at harry…he transfigures minerva’s fire whip into a snake…he was killed by a snake. he& voldemort are the only ones we see even using snakes. no one else takes slytherin aesthetictm seriously
“You see!” said a strained voice. Tonks was glaring at Lupin. “She still wants to marry him, even though he’s been bitten! She doesn’t care!“
“It’s different,” said Lupin, barely moving his lips and looking suddenly tense. “Bill will not be a full werewolf. The cases are completely-" "But I don’t care either, I don’t care!” said Tonks, seizing the front of Lupin’s robes and shaking them. “I’ve told you a million times….”
And the meaning of Tonk’s Patronus and her mouse-colored hair, and the reason she had come running to find Dumbledore when she had heard a rumor someone had been attacked by Greyback, all suddenly became clear to Harry; it had not been Sirius that Tonks had fallen in love with after all.
Shout out professor rj lupin for not flipping absolute shit when he sees harry with the marauders map in the hallway that night. i seriously cant stop laughing he could have gone oh FUUUUUCKK!!!!!!!!!! but hes got like plus 15 repression and a proficiency in Bullshitting so he just says ‘hmm yes yes oh is this a? a zonkos? haha cool.’ Legend.
“But I don’t care either, I don’t care!” said Tonks, seizing the front of Lupin’s robes and shaking them. “I’ve told you a million times…” “And I’ve told you a million times,” said Lupin, refusing to meet her eyes, staring at the floor, “that I am too old for you, too poor… too dangerous…”
HOLY SHIT HARRY POTTER EPIPHANY. Lupin studied/taught defense against the dark arts because he was a werewolf. He was terrified of hurting people; in his mind he was teaching his student to defend themselves from monsters like him
Can you imagine Remus Lupin reading his student name list while prepping for the year, seeing the name Luna and proceeding to look into the camera like he’s in the office
