AUs/OCs welcome just detail in an ooc note how you're configuring your character into this canon!



𝟏 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒓 π’π’π’π’Œπ’Šπ’π’ˆ – Maybe you zigged when you should have zagged, but either way, you don’t know where you are, or how to get back to where you’re supposed to be. Alternately, you’re part of the search party sent to go find the missing person, careful you don’t end up lost yourself!

𝟐 π’…π’†π’•π’†π’π’•π’Šπ’π’ – Whatever you did you’ve ended up out in the forest after dark following after The Groundskeeper (or maybe you are the Groundskeeper). Careful, don’t hang too far back from the rest of the group, it’s dangerous out there.

πŸ‘ π’‡π’“π’Šπ’”π’Œπ’š π’ƒπ’–π’”π’Šπ’π’†π’”π’” – Sure there might be spiders and centaurs, along with who knows what else, but you can’t deny how private the forest is, and how easy it is to steal away behind a tree with that certain somebody.

πŸ’ π’“π’–π’π’π’Šπ’π’ˆ 𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅/𝒐𝒖𝒕 π’‡π’π’“π’‚π’ˆπ’Šπ’π’ˆ – Maybe you’re after some extra credit, or just trying to suck up to a professor, heck, maybe you’re a professor trying to date a professor, or maybe it’s a full moon and you’re after some Fluxweed, either way, better be quick about it!

πŸ“ π’”π’π’Žπ’†π’•π’‰π’Šπ’π’ˆ π’Šπ’” π’‚π’Žπ’Šπ’”π’”! – Death Eaters in the castle! Drama in Ravenclaw Tower! A Professor turned evil! An emotional exit and storming off turned cataclysmic! Dragons! Something serious has happened to bring you to the forest today!

πŸ” π’‘π’“π’π’—π’Šπ’π’ˆ π’šπ’π’–π’“ π’Žπ’†π’•π’•π’π’† – A Rite of Passage? Or maybe you lost a bet or ran your mouth too much for too long. Whatever happened it’s time to put up or shut up and gain bragging rights for the rest of the term.

πŸ• π’•π’Šπ’Žπ’† 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒆! – Whatever it was you were just doing, it’s time to get away, and what better way to make sure your retreat is covered than to cut a path through the Forbidden Forest?

πŸ– 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒏 𝒂 π’‰π’Šπ’Œπ’† – You don’t get why everyone thinks this place is dangerous, you love coming to the forest for some fresh air and creature spotting/hiking/bird watching.

[ooc: Mine too!]

A shadow moved in the leaves. Then two small moons were shining at her. The creature inched closer, moons resolving into reflective eyes; but the wolf wasn't growling. It just stared.

This hairless upright smelled… not like prey. It was… familial.

Carefully raising her hands where the wolf could see them, Lily stared the animal down, frozen in place as it approached, her heart hammering away wildly in her chest.

"Please," she sad softly, carefully, daring to take a step backward and hoping the wolf would let her go.

Moony

stopped.

The wolf didn't experience memory the way his Human self did. Remembering something made it feel present. And nothing but the present existed.

For a moment, the wolf remembered the dog and the stag. That one time before the ratβ€”before the Human could turn into the rat… They'd had to take him down. That had changed something in the wolf's mind. The Humans said tamed, but it wasn't that. It wasn't taming or breaking. But it made them equals. Since then, they'd Run together.

There was no dog or stag or rat here. Just another Human. But this one…

Slowly, Moony started forward again. Head low, haunches even, tail high. Wary, not stalking.

He stopped before her. Then craned forward to sniff her hand.

No matter what happened, Lily resolved that she was not going to scream. Even though every muscle in her body tensed tight, the hair at the back of her neck and along her arms prickling as goosebumps washed over her skin, she didn't dare make a sound. With her heart pounding her eyes followed the wolf as it stepped closer, its neck craning to allow it to sniff at her hand.

Slowly, as though she were moving to touch a ticking bomb Lily moved her fingers, flattening her hand to allow the wolf to sniff at her palm freely.

Admittedly, some part of her couldn't help but wonder if it wouldn't spare her the loss of a finger too - but she pushed the thought away, trying her damndest not to panic.

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?

It took every ounce of resolve for Lily to keep her hand steady as the large animal gave her hand a sniff, the image of the wolf biting it right off dancing vividly in her imagination. When it began to wag its tale her shoulders slumped in relief, and she drew a deep breath for the first time in what felt like ages of holding it in for fear of being mauled.

That relief vanished briefly a moment later when the wolf rest its muzzle in her hand, though Lily caught on and started to scratch the animal under its chin as it seemed to want her to.

"Hello there sweetheart," she said softly, the nervousness she felt evident at the edge of her voice. "Have you come all this way for a scratch my darling?" She tried to sound as warm and found as she did when addressing a neighborhood cat or dog and it was working, mostly.

His tail thudded harder with satisfaction and he craned his neck forward to maximize the scritch.

Darling? It shouldn't mean anything to the Wolf, but somewhere, buried, Remus's heart thudded. Even this, the Wolf didn't think twice about it; just gave her fingers a gentle lick.

Somewhere beyond the gloom of the forest, the moon was setting. Wolf became suddenly aware of this and drew back, hackles rising, tail lowering, limbs tensing. He wasn't reacting to or threatening the Humanβ€”but it might look a bit like that.

The change in the beast's posture sent another roaring pulse of alarm through her, and she drew back swiftly, not wanting to turn her wand on the wolf, but uncertain what to make of the way it now held itself.

"You're alright darling," she attempted, her voice shaky but kind, unwilling to turn her back on the creature, even though she was certain it was more than capable of tearing her to pieces if it wanted to.

It wasn't acting like any animal she had seen before, and its size made it all the more daunting and extraordinary, making her certain its nature was magical, and that there was a good chance it was in some kind of distress. She couldn't turn her back on it now.
