Some Guys Have All The Luck

Author's Note: Hello, this is just something that I thought of. The reason why there is a random bit at the end is because it's my friend's birthday today. I wanted to pay tribute to him because he is the best friend ever! Thanks for everything MoonFang!

Prof. Lupin was having a bad day, he kept on thinking about a certain someone. That certain someone just happened to be Nymphadora Tonks. He couldn't help but realize that he liked Tonks, more than a man twice her senior should. He knew that she found him attractive but it just wouldn't work, he was a werewolf, a monster. No one would ever learn to love a monster like him.

As Prof. Lupin contemplated on these thoughts he was on his way back to Number Twelve Grimmauld Place after some job interviews. He knew that he wasn't going to get a job because he just wasn't lucky. His luck ran out when he left Hogwarts, everybody ever since then only saw him as a monster that changed at the full moon.

Lupin leaned he head back as he was sitting in his normal seat on the Muggle bus when he heard a song playing on the radio. As the first couple of lines began to play he realized that it was Rod Stewart's "Some Guys Have All The Luck." As the song began to play he noticed that the scene Rod Stewart's lyrics painted was very similar to what was going on around Lupin.

Chorus:

Some guys have all the luck

Some guys have all the pain

Some guys get all the breaks

Some guys do nothing but complain

Alone in a crowd on a bus after work

And I'm dreaming

The guy next to me has a girl in his arms

My arms are empty

How does it feel when the girl next to you

Says she loves you

It seem so unfair when there's love everywhere

But there's none for me

(Chorus)

During the chorus Lupin felt really depressed at the prospect of never having anyone say that she loves him. He looked up at the bus stops and saw that he was close to Grimmauld Place. He got off the bus the rest of the song was still buzzing in his brain refusing to be ignored.

Some guys definitely had all the luck. There was no doubt in his mind that that was true. He liked a girl that was too young for him, he had no job, and he had barely any independence because he had to live at Grimmauld's Place with Sirius. He was lucky to get through a full moon with a few scratches and bite marks, sometimes it was worse than anyone could possibly imagine.

Someone to take on a walk by the lake

Lord let it be me

Someone who's shy

Someone who'll cry at sad movies

I know I would die if I ever found out

She was fooling me

You're just a dream and as real as it seems

I ain't that lucky

Lupin scoffed, he certainly was not lucky. Being bitten by a werewolf isn't considered lucky. Therefore, being branded for life is not fun. Everyone regards you with fear and distrust when they don't understand what you are. No matter what anyone says about werewolves being harmless when it's not the full moon it is never taken seriously.

Lupin contemplated about Tonks again. She was a very bright, young, beautiful witch. It was a shame that he could do nothing to make it so that he could be with her. Lupin knew that all he could do with Tonks was to be admired from afar and make sure that she didn't become emotionally attached to him. That would not be good; she didn't need a broken heart caused by him.

(Chorus)

All of my friends have a ring on their finger

They have someone

Someone to care for them it ain't fair

I got no one

The car overheated

I called up and pleaded

There's help on the way

I called you collect you didn't accept

You had nothing to say

(Chorus)

But if you were here with me

I'd feel so happy I could cry

You are so dear to me

I just can't let you say goodbye

Lupin was at the door to the house when it opened automatically it seemed. When Lupin took a step in he realized that Tonks was standing there with the door open, "Wotcher, Remus."

"Nymphadora." Lupin answered as he took off his coat and hung it up on the coat rack. Tonks made a face at being called by her real name, "So do you think that you got a job?"

"No, it's always the same. I have to say that I'm a werewolf and they always clam up no matter how qualified I am for the job." Lupin slouched into the kitchen for a hot cup of tea, which was waiting for him on the table. No doubt Tonks had made some when she saw that he was coming.

Tonks sighed, she and Lupin had had this conversation before. Both would rather not repeat the experience. Instead Tonks gave Lupin a smirk and asked, "So what do you want to do to make you feel better? Are you hungry? We can make sandwiches. Plenty of buns and burgers to go around."

Lupin's eyebrows shot up thinking of a rather disturbing song that they had both heard the day before and should never be mentioned in civilized conversation that revolved around "making sandwiches." Lupin shoved those thoughts away before he spoke next.

"I suppose that could be fun… fine. That would be fine." Lupin stammered as he realized he really wanted Tonks to know that he really cared about her. He wanted her to say, "I love you," to him everyday. He wanted her to be there for him when he felt terrible. Lupin realized that maybe Tonks could help change his luck if he just let a person into his life again.

Tonks began giving Lupin a sly look, "I hope it is as much fun for you as it will be for me. I love making sandwiches."

Lupin smiled a wide grin at Tonks as she took his hand a lead him upstairs. His last comprehensive thought for the night was: Yes, my luck is definitely changing.
