The wind howled through the trees, rattling the windows of the Gryffindor common room. The fire crackled low in the hearth, sending out a soft glow that illuminated the faces of those gathered around. Laughter bubbled in the air, but you sat in your usual corner, huddled on a couch, the warmth of the blanket doing little to soothe the pain blooming in your abdomen.
It was one of those days. One where the world felt too loud, too bright, and every word, every smile, grated on your already frazzled nerves. Your cramps were unforgiving, twisting and pulling, a sharp reminder that your body was working against you. You’d been snappy all day, your patience wearing thin until it frayed at the edges, already on your last nerve and it hadn’t even hit lunch yet.
And as luck would have it, Remus, of all people, had chosen this day to breathe down your neck. The worst part wasn’t even the fact that he annoyed you on a regular basis—that was just your dynamic. You and Remus had always been... something akin to friends, but with enough sharp barbs and snide remarks to toe the line of frenemies. But today, the constant back-and-forth was unbearable.
Remus leaned casually against the arm of the sofa as he sat down, not so subtly watching you with that annoying smirk of his as he dumped a water bottle onto the table. "You look like you're ready to murder someone," he commented, his voice soft, but laced with amusement. You fixed him with the most searing glare you'd ever given anyone, hoping it would send him six feet under, but he didn’t leave. He never did, especially when he knew he was getting under your skin. It was almost like he relished the challenge, as if every verbal sparring match was a game for him.
“Must be serious if you're not even biting back,” he mused, plopping down beside you, his leg brushing against yours. He glanced at you out of the corner of his eye, a flicker of something other than amusement crossing his face. Concern? No. That wasn’t his style.
"Time of the month?"
