Countdown to small gifts 3/7: Head canon

[smallgiftsmods]

Welcome, folks! Every year at small gifts, we start off the holiday season with a week's worth of discussion posts. It's a chance to get to know other participants (or say hi again), meet our readers (hi, readers! we love you!), and while away the hours before December 1. We'll have one topic per day until November 30. Come on over and introduce yourself on our Day 1 post!

Yes, I think of them starting at Hogwarts too, in 6th or 7th year.

Chocolate-loving Remus is because he just happens to have a big chocolate bar on him when we first meet him, then always has some on hand when Harry needs some later. You usually don't carry around chocolate if you don't like eating it yourself. I tend to think of the prevalence of it in fandom as a combo of that and the fic authors' love of writing about chocolate. I don't really write him that way myself (well, except for one time, sorry!), but I don't mind reading it, just because I used to be in a fandom where there was also a chocolate-loving character, but it was much, much worse. Anyone here remember SG-1 fic with Daniel Jackson, who would only eat chocolate and would have to be reminded by his teammates to eat real food? lol, fandom memories.

Okay, I mean, I get that about the chocolate. I just always got the impression that he had it on him because he knew there were Dementors around, not because he particularly loved it. I mean, Madam Pomfrey actually says something to the effect of, we finally have a DADA teacher that knows his remedies! Like I said, it's not a deal breaker for me, but I do tend to find it... flat.
