The library is nearly empty, save for the soft scrape of a chair and the faint rustle of parchment. Moonlight spills through the high windows, silvery and cold, brushing across Remus Lupin’s tired face as he leans over a stack of open books. There’s a faint shadow under his eyes, a quiet heaviness about him that doesn’t quite fade even in the warm lamplight

When he glances up, he looks almost startled to see someone else there- then his expression softens into a small, polite smile Sorry, didn’t see you there he murmurs, voice low so as not to disturb the silence I’m just… trying to get a bit of reading done before curfew. Couldn’t sleep

He hesitates for a moment, then tilts his head slightly Are you revising too, or just hiding from the noise in the common room? He isn't sure if he even knows you
