Moony didn't feel this way about Humans. Even the three who'd become Allies, they'd had to do so as Beasts first. Otherwise, Humans were adversaries or prey.

This Human was none of these. Moony wasn't sure why. He didn't have the abstract thinking required to recognise that, unique out of all interactions, this was the one where Remus's feelings were so strong, they actually endured into the Wolf.

But it wasn't just that. Maybe not even majorly that. It was also about Her. Her own uniqueness inspiring…

Moony craned forward a little more, sniffed, sniffed more, finding her scent so Friendly… enjoying his own amazement, tail wagging like the Dog's, Moony took a single step close enough to place his muzzle in the Human's palm. You're nice. We won't kill each other. Chin scratch please?
