Someone just posted a selfie on my Facebook feed with #werecute.

I know this is supposed to be parsed as “we’re cute,” but at the same time I can’t help imagining what a werecute person would be like. Ugly by day and on most nights, but cute when the moon is full. They would lose control of their rational minds and have an insatiable urge to walk around carrying puppies in their arms in public. Then other people would get infected when they couldn’t help pinching their little cheeks.

I don’t know, #werecute sounds kind of like an acceptance/visibility/[other motive] selfie day for … morphologically fluctuating … tumblr users.

So I know we’re always complaining about Lupin and how it’s ridikulus for someone not born a werewolf to be named freaking “Guy-raised-by-wolf John Wolf-like” but, like, there’s a simple explanation no one ever talks about. 

It’s a freaking assumed name.

Think about it. Remus was a little kid when he got attacked. It would have been all over the papers at the time. It’s in the papers later when another kid gets attacked by Greyback in HBP. So it would ruin everything if Lupin turned up at Hogwarts his first year only to have some wizard-born prat (*cough cough Snape*) say “Lupin? I know that name from somewhere” and go looking through old Daily Prophets. 

Dumbledore was probably like “Why don’t you pick a new name?” and this little shit future Marauder went “Hmm, I’ll go for something subtle.”
