Chapter 1:
It was the 25th of December and Remus Lupin was sitting on a bar stool all by himself. While traveling through a small town off London he had found his way to a small pub, the last one that seemed to be opened as it was. He would of went to the leaky cauldron, but when tom's customers found out there was a werewolf living among them business quickly declined and Tom had no choice, but too throw Lupin out.
"What can I do ya for" said the muggle bartender "how's bout an ale"
"Um how much" replied Lupin
"On the house after all its Christmas, by the way I'm Timothy but me mates call me Tim"
"So what are ya doin in this neighborhood we usually don't get much business round here bad location, only locals ya now. But to be honest I don't mind a new face or the business ya bring"
"I'm just uh ah passing through" replied Lupin
"At this time a year"
"Um yes well"
"It's okay not trying to be prodding"
Tim felt quite bad for the fellow his clothes were raggedy and ripped, the man himself looked as though he'd Ben through a lot his face was sunken he looked hungry and tired. No smile came from his face only sadness. The man seemed to only have on possession, a golden watch. This Lupin fellow kept checking the watch like something drastic was going to happen.
When Tim got a glance of the watch It looked like now other watch he had ever seen. It had instead of numbers words. One said Fun, another said school, another work, jail, home, road, bank, friends, moral danger, families, bar, order, and one had a question mark. Twelve words for twelve hours. That wasn't even the strangest thing about the watch thought Tim for it had 4 hands each one a different color with what seemed to be funny writing on it. A black hand pointed to the word jail, a brown hand pointed to the word dead along with a silver hand. The last hand, a blue hand pointed to bar. When the man noticing Tim looking at the watch he put it back in his pocket.
"Funny watch you got there" said Tim
"Yes a funny little thing" replied Lupin
"Sorry to bother you but I have to be closing now"
"Oh okay thank you, for everything"
Lupin left the feeling considerably much better. As Lupin stepped out side he disappeared with a "pop" inside Tim was debating on inviting the poor man home but as he rushed outside to offer Lupin a dinner and a bead for the night he was gone, all Tim heard was a pop.
