Disclaimer: I've wished upon a star, but it DOES make a difference who I am. I am not J.K.R., therefore I do not own this.

I wasn't so sure about putting this story up. I just wrote it one day because I had to write it. It just...flowed. I didn't really want to put it up, but my friend told me to. This is your reward for 20, count 'em 20, reviews on "It Took you Long Enough!" So here you go. Be gentle.

Chapter One

"Are you sure? Are you absolutely sure that he's a werewolf?" James Potter asked.

"No, but I'm 99.9 sure. I mean look, he's 'sick' or a family member has 'died' every full moon. His index finger is longer than the others and his knuckles are hairy. Also, he hates silver. Just like the symptoms in the book." Sirius Black explained.

"I guess." James said uneasily.

"Come on, if we are wrong, we'll just laugh it off and it'll be ok." Sirius reasoned

"OK," James said, slightly more reassured.

They pushed open the door to their dormitory, where Remus Lupin was lying on his bed. He looked up as they came in, golden eyes curious. Another symptom, Sirius noted.

"What's up?" Remus asked.

"Remus, we know" Sirius said...well...seriously.

"Know what?" Remus asked.

"That you're a werewolf" James cut in quickly.

"A what?"

"A werewolf" Sirius said, slightly uneasy.

"I don't follow, you think I'm a werewolf?" Remus asked.

"Well...yes." James said, even more uneasily.

"Cause you are always missing on the full moon and your eyes are golden and you have all the other symptoms of a werewolf. Also you seemed to know so much about them in our Defense against the Darks Arts class." Sirius said hurriedly. Then, something unexpected happened.

Remus laughed.

"I...haha...can't believe...he he...that you think I'm a...hehehaha...WEREWOLF!" Remus gasped

"He he." Sirius chuckled nervously. How could he have thought Remus was a werewolf? A werewolf wouldn't react like this.

"Ha ha." James chortled. Sirius was such an idiot. Remus couldn't possibly be a werewolf. No werewolf laughs at an accusation like that. Still laughing, he crawled into bed and fell asleep. Sirius did the same.

But Remus stayed awake. How could they have guessed? Maybe he hadn't been careful enough. No, he hadn't. There were two choices open to him now. 1) He could stay here and still pretend not to be a werewolf. Pros: He could stay with his friends, the first ones he had ever had. Cons: If Sirius and James, two of the most non observant people he had ever met, discovered his secret, how long would it take for somebody less understanding?

2) Run away. Pros: He wouldn't have to worry anymore about being caught and he wouldn't have to lie anymore. Also, he wouldn't put his friends in danger. Cons: He would lose the only real friends he had ever had. He would take choice number two. He hadn't had friends in 11 years, he could do without for longer.

Remus packed his trunk and wrote a note, explaining why he had gone. He crept out silently and levitated his trunk so as not to make any noise. Through a stroke of luck, he managed not to bump into either Filch or Peeves. So Remus Lupin stole his way out of Hogwarts, the only place that could give him a future, and into the Forbidden Forest.

So, how did you all like it? They're all going to have relatively short chapters because I've already written a lot of the story and they are only one page each. After this, it's basically going to be Remus, Hogwarts, Remus, Hogwarts and so on. I like that style, it's useful. Review! Please?
