Chapter One

Harry was deathly ill. Nobody was sure how he had become so ill. He had somehow contracted a little known disease. Around Christmas during his third year he had collapsed.

Harry had been rushed to the infirmary where Madam Pomfrey took one look at him and immediately sent him straight to St. Mungo's Hospital.

That's where they all were now, gathered around his bedside. A solemn Dumbledore, an anxious Hermoine, a scared Ron, a nervous Ginny and Remus Lupin who tried not to show it but was probably the most worried of all.

A Healer who had been working on Harry solemnly entered the room and explained,

"We are at a loss. The only cure for Mr. Potter's illness requires the live blood of his father."

Remus hated that it had come to this. They had meant and planned to keep it a secret for as long as possible.

"Wait, the cure can work. James isn't Harry's father. I am."

Gasps and questions broke out but Remus ignored them and continued,

"The three of us- Lily, James, and I –devised a plan. Lily and I weren't allowed to marry nor have kids. James volunteered to play the part of Lily's wife and Harry's father. But I am really Harry's father. What do I have to do?"

The Healer started explaining,

"The base potion will need to be made immediately. Then you Mr. Lupin will be put into a state as the blood is taken. This is a very volatile potion so you three kids will need to leave. I just have a few questions for Mr. Lupin."

Dumbledore immediately ushered the confused kids out of the room as the Healer confronted Remus,

"I need answers or the cure won't work. Why can't you marry or have kids?"

"I'm a werewolf" Remus answered

"Then you have a decision to make. Transporting your blood to Harry means you run the chance of him becoming a werewolf. I'll leave you to decide."

When Dumbledore returned, Remus immediately explained,

"Dumbledore I don't want Harry to die but I don't want him to become a werewolf."

"Remus, my dear boy, there is only a slight chance Harry will become a werewolf. It is better for him to survive even if he does become a werewolf. He will have a father. The one thing in the world he has wanted is a father and know he will know one. He will overcome this and we will overcome Black's escape."

"I'll do it then." Remus simply answered leaving to inform the Healer.
