"The rain fell for so many days, yet it never made me wet. It was the rainy season in my heart, and I was the one who made myself wet." -- Sanmao, The Rainy Season Will Never Come Again
A Chinese immigrant family in Britain. A werewolf hidden among wizards.
When they meet aboard the Hogwarts Express, their ending is already decided.
Zhang Lin had never imagined setting foot on British soil before the age of five.
Everything was unfamiliar: the surroundings, the language. Even with her parents and older brother by her side, she still felt out of place.
It wasn't until she met Remus that Zhang Lin realized someone could be so much like her.
They both had a loneliness that others could hardly detect.
At first sight of the Eastern girl, Remus Lupin had a premonition.
She would be absolutely unlike anyone else to him.
It seemed they would forever remain at once close and impossibly far apart. But Zhang Lin shattered that distance, and he pushed her back where she belonged.
Everything continued as before, except for them.
It wasn't until Zhang Lin's unexplained departure left him in tears that Remus finally understood.
She had long since become an inseparable part of his life.
"I've always hated the coward I used to be."
"But it's those unbearable memories that made us who we are today."
CP: Remus Lupin x Zhang Lin
Welcome to a damp, rainy night belonging to the Lion and the Eagle.

Notes:
1. No Voldemort in this story. Canon pairings are broken up. Both leads are each other's only partner. One-on-one romance, focused mainly on the male and female leads, set during the Marauders' era.
2. Things won't go smoothly. The overall tone is bittersweet, and the pacing is on the slow side.
3. The female lead is Cho Chang's aunt. She immigrates from Hong Kong to Britain shortly before turning six and speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, and English. Her magical ancestry is mixed, with one-eighth foreign blood, but she has no foreign features.
4. The story is about 100,000 characters long, not a massive epic.
5. The main story has a happy ending. There is an optional realistic ending and a canon-inspired bad ending.
6. This story is purely a passion project. I'm not a canon expert, and my mental capacity is limited. My writing is average, and I have my own interpretations of the characters that may not suit everyone's tastes. If you dislike it or feel the characters are out of character, you can leave. I don't accept writing advice. Thank you very much.
I'd love to hear from you in the comments!
Theme: Everyone deserves to be loved.
It takes a lot of courage to pick it up and put it down, to dare to love and hate, it really takes a lot of courage, it's so awesome, but I still hug you 🤷 🤷 🤷
When reading and writing fan fiction, I always ask myself a question: What do they love about each other, and why is this love irreplaceable? (I will post some humble opinions below🤓) Zhang Lin and Remus let me see that love can be the same as loving each other and oneself. Their identity is that of loneliness caught between two worlds. This loneliness gives them a "rain" temperament, a temperament that can be recognized by their peers. This similarity closes the distance between them. Slowly approach each other like two small animals, slowly identifying and testing each other through scent. When we get along, loneliness is a tacit understanding that goes without saying. In general, what they give each other is irreplaceable, a sense of belonging that requires no explanation and is immersed in the same feeling. Even if I dream about the days when I became a werewolf and lose control of my emotions at midnight, I still have my lover by my side to comfort me over and over again. And in the end, as they hugged each other and fell asleep in the chatter, would Remus also feel that he had left his identity as a werewolf and become an ordinary person? I really like Zhang Lin's words "I am not your salvation, nor am I a doll for you to vent your fears." It's a really novel idea of a female protagonist among Remus' original female themes! It made me start to think about what kind of love truly suits Remus. Zhang Lin's love is more mature than Remus's. When she faced Remus, she wouldn't have the same inferiority complex as him. And Remus seems to always have a kind of self-doubt: "Can a person like me really have such a beautiful love?" Zhang Lin told him, "I have my own judgment, and I will stop when it hurts," which conveyed a kind of trust to Remus. Let Remus no longer worry when he is in pain, so that he can completely trust Zhang Lin in front of him and love him 100%. Instead of testing with harm, the result will only be a lose-lose situation. The teacher's language is very unique and unique among HP fanfiction. With sour and elegant words. It is very suitable for the emotional flow story of Zhang Lin and Remus with a touch of sadness. It felt to me like I was in a foggy weather, and I might encounter light rain while walking, so my shoes and socks would get wet, leaving a small patch of rain in my memory. Fortunately, it was sunny in the end. People who love each other will never be separated. When I was writing this, the playlist happened to be "Perfect", which was completely composed of Zhang Lin and Remus. No matter in the world with or without danger, they will always go hand in hand and have deep love as husband and wife. "I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets, I found a love that was more careful than all my secrets, To carry love, to carry children of our own, Carrying this love and carrying our children, We are still kids, but we're so in love, Although we are still young, we love each other so deeply, Fighting against all odds, Let's fight against all adversities in the future together, I know we'll be alright this time, I know we will always be in love. "
I really think it's very interesting and sour. Maybe I'm from Cantonese, so I feel very close to the descriptions of Hong Kong culture. It's really very interesting and sour, but everyone is burdened with the burdens they need to face. It's shocking. Thank you, Baobao, for creating such a good article.
You two are so cute. Remus mentioned Black Lake repeatedly and was so cute that he was so nervous that he didn't even open the bag. Zhang Lin guessed that Remus would be so nervous that he didn't even look at his ring, so he was cute. You guys should always be happy!
I read it on Xiaohongshu, and I saved the full text at that time. I decided to read it immediately when it was finished, but I was a little busy in real life, so I read it all on February 3rd. I like it very much, and I like Remus myself, but many of the fanfics related to him are very immature (you zhi), making it difficult to finish reading. But this book can convince me after seeing all the plots, emotions, and characters. Everyone has their own thoughts, actions, responsibilities, and their own struggles and courage. The overall atmosphere is just as the author himself said, centered on rain and containing a sour and humid atmosphere. I love this atmosphere. Thank you for writing such a good article. (I am not good at writing and expressing. I just leave what I want to say after reading it, hoping to express my gratitude and affirmation to you.)
After watching Once Upon a Time in England, I felt a little sad in my heart. I have to say that the no-fu setting is the best. Everyone lives safely somewhere in this world, and teenagers only need to think about how to study hard and enjoy life every day. Zhang Lin is actually a very courageous girl. She has always firmly chosen Remus. If not, they might have missed it long ago. Of course, Remus finally saw his heart clearly (fortunately, he realized it!). The feeling of homesickness is engraved in the bones of the Chinese people. Whether it is "The moon is the brightness of hometown" in the poem written by the ancients, or "Nostalgia" written by Mr. Yu Guangzhong in modern times, it also represents a sense of identity. When Arlene went abroad, she was at an age where the three views had not yet been fully established. , But she is not ignorant and naive, so she is caught in the gap, neither up nor down. Moreover, she has grown up watching ordinary people and the wizarding world, so she will inevitably have a feeling that "she does not seem to belong to either side", so she also feels Remus's feelings very keenly. Lu Ping has the same "sense of wandering" as hers (of course, it does not mean wandering with no fixed abode, but the feeling of having nowhere to place her inner emotions), and naturally there is a sympathy for seeing "similar people", just like the author said "Arlene is sinking soberly", which is even more It takes a lot of courage, because I don't know if the other party can catch it, but I still don't regret it, and Arlene's name is really nice (it's not that difficult to pronounce for foreigners (face covering)), Meiyu, which represents the best wishes for her (how does it look like she is doing reading comprehension). Remus Lupine, when I read the original work, I thought he was a very gentle person. It is a pity that he suffered such misfortune. However, he did not hurt others like other werewolves. I have to say that he is a very good person (I will not comment on his attitude towards Snape during school. After all, there are more people around him. The closest ones are my friends, and they accept me unconditionally. I can only say that both parties (referring to the Marauders and Severus Snape) had their own faults during their school years, and there is nothing to say (Die Jia, I have a certain fondness for them, but these cannot be ignored)). The author's setting of the patron saints of Zhang Lin and Remus couldn't be better. Both parties had formed their own complete ideas and personalities before they became lovers, so their patron saints also represent their inner pursuits and ideals. It feels like Even if Arlene and Remus are not together in the end, they will still shine in their respective fields. Being lovers is the icing on the cake. I also feel the resilience in Arlene, just like bamboo, even if it is bent during the growth process, it will grow into a tall bamboo. When he was young, he was still upright, with an arrogance of "I am standing still". Remus really needs someone who will choose him unswervingly. He will definitely reject people who like him and the people he likes due to his own reasons. It can only be said that falling in love with him is necessary. It takes a big heart to be in a state where he will escape. I have to say that I feel that Arlene is the kind of person who "I do things only to be worthy of myself." No matter what the outcome is, I can accept it. And love is impulsive! It is perfectly normal for you to do things that you would not have done before when your brain is hot, otherwise it would be too ordinary (as expected, sometimes you still have to watch other people talk about love). The image of "rain" is really wonderful! I still remember watching a video clip at that time. The heroine was running in the rain with a big smile on her face, which made people feel better. There is also a saying in our hometown that "spring rain is as valuable as oil". Sometimes rain is really just "sweet rain", but indeed, I feel that there is always a foggy feeling in the UK. I feel like rain makes people feel even more depressed (of course, that doesn't mean we don't have it here). Maybe when it rains, people miss home even more... (I feel homesick more easily when I go to college, and I'm not used to food and housing.) The sky is sunny, and everyone is hugging each other under the warm sunshine again (it's so nice) This is my first time following a serial. The feeling of waiting for updates every day really makes me excited, haha. I have to say that the author is really awesome. After all, fan fiction is to make up for some regrets and let us have a paradise in our hearts that belongs to ourselves and the people in the book. I hope the author will be successful in everything, and I wish the future works will get better and better!
"The sky and the earth are very different, and the north and the south are boundless. In the end, it turns out that my home is where my heart is. "
Okay, okay, they got married and I was the witness 😳
Let them reconcile quickly, okay? Remus, as a student, has not experienced the life of being hit by obstacles at work and living in poverty. Maybe he can be braver than in the original work...
Damn, what you wrote is really great!!! I believe the collection will definitely exceed 10,000!!!! We love you too😘🥰
