Oh, I'm so glad you wrote this! It was exactly what I wanted to read, and I love that you took the time to explore so many different moments & aspects of the day for Remus... the alcohol, the Harry... and going to Privet Drive, the graves, and just, no-everything's-not-going-to-be-alright-but-i-will-clean-the-flat...
I also loved the idea that McGonagall and Dumbledore are courting him to teach from the beginning, and this --
“I'll consider it if the Wolfsbane Potion is ever perfected to a point where it does not poison the imbiber,” he promised
-- was excellent. I can just see McGonagall, like, 'you promised...'
So thank you, thank you, thank you for this! I know I will be coming back to read it again.
