A father and his son walked down the road. The father had sandy brown hair as did his son. The father's son had amber eyes. This was rare of course, but his father did not care and neither did his son. The boy was tall but not as tall as his father. The saddest thing about this boy is that he was limping and using a cane as he walked. The boy's name is Remus John Lupin and his story does not have a happy beginning. Remus could remember it like it was yesterday.

A four-year-old Remus ran down the stairs from his room when his father came home. Remus had a connection with his father, but he loved his mother as well, but it does not compare to the love he has for his father. Remus smiled when his father pulled him into his arms. Little did the little boy know is that this was going to be the last day that his father or mother will hold him. "Hey Rem," Lyall laughed as he kissed his sons sandy brown hair.

"Dad mum took me to the zoo today," Remus said once his father put him down. Hope Lupin smiled at her son as he started to talk about the wolfs, this was all he talked about during dinner however he stopped when he was put in bed. "And then they howled at me," well, maybe he said one more thing about them before his mother and father said good night to him. Remus smiled and closed his eyes.

"Good night son. We will see you in the morning," his mother said with a smile as she kissed him on his head. Lyall turned off the light as they left the room. Remus smiled and fell asleep.

A few hours later when Remus's parents were asleep Remus woke to a sound on his window. Remus opened his eyes and looked to his window. However, he saw nothing this is when Remus closed his eyes again but when he heard the sound again, he opened his eyes once again as he pulled his wolf plush close to his chest. Remus wanted to call for his father, but his voice caught in his throat. Remus closed his eyes once again hoping that this was a dream but when he opened them the window opened, and a man came in only Remus could not see this man for it was dark in his room. "Hello," he said in a calm voice that made Remus shiver. "It's ok. I'm a friend of your father's," Remus raised an eyebrow and then found his voice.

"Daddy never told me about you. So, I don't think that you are," Remus said with a smile on his face as he felt proud of himself for talking back to a stranger. However, his smile was wiped off clean when the man walked to Remus's bed.

"I don't think you should have said that boy! You're coming with me," after he said this Remus's world went black.

Remus walked down the road as the thought of that night disappeared from his mind. The eleven-year-old looked at his father and with a little hesitation he asked: "Did…...did you look for me?" Lyall stopped walking and looked at his son. He sighed before he said:

"Yes, son. I did, your mother and I did. I wish that she could see you safe now," Remus head a hint of sadness in his father's voice. This was a punch in the face for Remus when his father told him that his mother died while he was with Greyback. Lyall sighed when he the light no longer in his son's eyes. "Son?" Remus looked at his father and hummed.

"Yes, dad," Remus said as he looked down to his cane that he had to use now.

"I'm glad that you are home now. Do you want to get something to eat…. I might still have some money left," Remus sighed his father and mother were never rich, but they had just enough money to get by. Remus smiled and nodded.

"Of course, dad but…..." Remus trailed off as he flinched at his leg. Lyall nodded and started to walk again along with Remus who was slower than before but Lyall kept close to his son.

Remus was not used to this being with his father. He does remember him but yet he does not. Remus could not remember his mother though; this was the sad thing about the whole thing. Remus wished that he could have called out for his father, his mother that night. The ten-year-old sighed as they walked up to a diner. "Father, I don't want people to look at me weird. I just hate what…. what I've become," Remus said as Lyall walked over to the door. He sighed he wished that his son did not go through this.

"I know son. Don't worry. I'm sure nothing will happen," Lyall said with a smile as he opened the door for his son who walked in before him. This was the first time they ate as father and son since Remus was four years old. When Remus sat down, he looked at his father who smiled at him. Remus returned the smile and looked at his cane that he put by his chair. Lyall ordered for the both of them and then he looked at his son and said: "Son, I have something to tell you," Remus looked at his father from the water that was on the table in front of him.

"What is it, dad?" Remus asked with worry in his eyes, but you can't hear it in his voice. Lyall smiled at his son but it did not reach his eyes.

"I have moved in with the Potter's. Do you remember them?" Lyall asked before he took a sip of his water. Remus raised an eyebrow and then shook his head.

"No dad sorry," Remus said sadly as he looked at another family that sat across from them. Lyall nodded and looked at his son then he smiled.

"Son. I still have your stuff. Do you want to go over it when we get back home?" Lyall said with hope and happiness in his voice and eyes. Remus looked at his father with his tear-filled eyes and nodded but he did not say anything. Lyall got off his chair and hugged his son. He felt Remus finch at the touch, but this made him pull Remus closer to him. Then Remus started to cry, he cried in his father's arms for the first time since he was four years old. They stayed like this until the food came. Remus wished that he could be in his father's arms forever, but he was hungry, and he wanted to eat something that was not from the hospital.

After they were done eating father and son walked out of the diner with smiles on their faces. Remus could not believe that he was with his father again and not Greyback. Oh, man, he hated that man. He knows that he must tell his father about want happened, but he knew that he does not really want to. He wanted that to stay in the past, his past that he hated. Remus looked at his father as they walked to the Potter's, this is where they will now. He does not remember these people, but he knows that they must be nice, nice to let his father live with them. Remus took a breath and said: "Father can we rest? My leg hurts, I don't think I can walk right now," Remus had pain in his voice. Lyall nodded as they both sat down on a bench and sat there for a while in quiet as they listened to the sounds around them. However, after a while, Remus closed his eyes and fell asleep right there. Lyall smiled and watched his son sleep before he got off the bench and picked up his son and his cane. He then walked in the late afternoon sun.
