movie: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them «From J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world»

instead, he fucking stays where he belongs

and, as the howlers start coming, insults exploding at the teacher’s table every morning like clockwork, the students take notice. They see Lupin’s face, and he’s not even angry, he looks fucking resigned to it, like he deserves it.

So, the students take matters into their own hands. 

“You’re the best teacher EVER” is heard on a Monday morning, followed by a “We really like your classes” on Tuesday and “Thanks for being such a cool guy. AND FOR THE CHOCOLATES” on Wednesday.

by Friday, things have escalated to the point that you can’t  go ten minutes without a howler bursting and showering Lupin in compliments.

(It’s a whole month before the fateful “YOU HAVE A VERY CUTE ASS, 10/10 WOULD BANG! ” and the subsequent banning of all howlers for the teachers.

Snape has never looked more constipated in his life.)

• He was an internationally famous Quidditch player but showed like zero signs of being a conceited ass about it.
• He was an internationally famous Quidditch player but was still in school, showing he probably still valued his education, plus he was a good enough wizard to be chosen as the Durmstrang champion by the goblet of fire.
• He was an internationally famous Quidditch player with lots of fangirls, but hung around the library for ages trying to work up the courage to ask Hermione Granger to the Yule Ball, and I think that’s adorable.
• He didn’t behave like an asshole dudebro when Hermione wasn’t interested in dating him.
• Hermione was also used as the person he would miss the most in the second task, and I think that says less about Hermione than the people around Viktor Krum.  We know he had parents.  We know he had teammates.  But none of those relationships were apparently more healthy or comforting than this nice girl he had just met at Hogwarts, and that makes me sad.
• He had zero patience for Dark Arts and Dark wizards, even though he went to a school that emphasized both of those things.
• He stayed on good enough terms with Fleur that he was invited to her wedding.
• His problem solving method once included partially turning himself into a shark.  A shark.

“Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of the first September was crisp and golden as an apple”— JK Rowling
