The world this story takes place in belongs to J.K. Rowling but the majority of the characters are mine.

You do not have to read Two Halves of My Whole to follow this story but some of the Lupin family background is mentioned and talked about in a couple of parts.

Enjoy!

Prologue

For most old pure-blood families honoring the family is above everything else, even above the family members themselves. For the Lupins, honoring the family is simply understood because there is nothing more important than family. We are there for each other and we take care of each other. If you love your family, are there for them, and take care of them, why would you not honor the family? Therefore, dishonoring the family is not only unexpected but completely unimaginable.

I never wanted to dishonor my family; my grandparents, parents, siblings. The very people who made me what I am and have meant the most to me. It was however, the consequence of my actions and one that I did not take lightly but knew there was no avoiding.

In any other pure-blood family I would have been disowned for what I did instead of just being temporarily banished. I was lucky. Lucky that the very fabric of my family, our view on the importance of each other, is what saved me. Even though I dishonored the family and dragged our name through the mud, my father couldn't cut me out. Not only did he not want to but he didn't even know how.

I didn't see or understand how unique my family was until after I was married and my oldest son was born. When I was welcomed back with open arms. It was more than I deserved or expected.


An: Stay tuned for the next chapter which starts focusing on his childhood.
