Warnings: None
Notes: I don't own these characters, JKR does. This is set in Marauder-era, fifth year.
Remus closed the heavy door behind him with a bang, resting against it and trying to catch his breath. He had to go to the library without James or Sirius and in return, got chased by some seventh year Slytherins. He rested against the door for a second before the door started to move. Not wanting the tormentors to get in, he tried to hold back the door. It stopped, closing with a click as he heard Professor McGonagall shoo the Slytherins away. He didn't trust to actually come out of the room just yet, catching his breath. He really didn't need this, coming back a few days after his transformation for the month was done. The only reason why he couldn't breathe properly was due to a chest cold that he would not draw attention to. He was in the hospital wing too often for his taste.
He looked around the room as he sat there, catching his breath. It was an empty classroom, save for a mirror against the far wall. He slowly stood up and pressed his ear against the door. He could hear nothing, but...he could waste a small bit of time. Dinner was done, he didn't have astronomy later, all that was waiting was homework when he got back to the common room. He moved towards the mirror, noting the words at the top. I show not your face but your heart's desire he thought to himself after trying to sound out the words.
He stopped before the mirror and looked into it. He knew what he would see. He would see himself in a pool of light from a full moon while he didn't change. What he did see made his jaw drop. It was himself at an older age with a younger woman that had pink bubblegum hair hugging him. He stared transfixed at the image, amazed by the love the simple hug showed between the two of them. He also noticed that the woman was pregnant, probably his, and the thought never crossed his mind at such a young age of being able to have children. Considering his condition, he never thought that anybody could love him. This made his heart lighten as he sat in front of the mirror, just sitting there for a few more hours and being jealous of his older self. As he picked himself up a few hours later, he did have his friends, who he cherished and was loyal to above all, going back to the Gryffindor common room to tell them what he saw.
