→ Astraea Moon: Just a study buddy. 

Remus turned to chance upon Astraea Moon. Clad in her robes and her hands stacked with books, he stood up and went to her aid. He helped her with her books and organised them neatly next to his. Her hair was ruffled here and there and he was drawn to her eyes. Her eyes were like crystals under the Great Hall’s dim yellow lights. He did not hear a word she had said. The only thing he could fathom was her natural beauty and “wrackspurts”.

“What exactly are those…” Remus said as he simultaneously delivered a chuckle, attempting to make her laugh.

Remus was inclined to Astraea more than he could even imagine. She was funny and honest. He was glad to have forged a friendship with her and he subconsciously congratulated himself for having the guts to speak with her the other day.

Smiling from ear to ear, Remus continued taking down notes as they both settled down in silence. All of a sudden, the pile of books stacked in front of them toppled down, making a loud thud which drew everyone’s attention to the Gryffindor table.
