Disclaimer: I am not making profit from this. Harry Potter and his world belongs to J.K. Rowling.

Author's Note: I read a few "10 Things About Characters" stories and it inspired me to write one myself. I'll try to get to as many of the characters that died as possible. I apologize if I don't get every single one. I'll do my best to write about the major characters. I know it's not perfect and constructive critism is welcomed.

Remus John Lupin

1. He was always a quiet one. At birth, he only gave one small cry before falling silent. He didn't say "Mummy" or "Daddy" until he was three.

2. His attack by Greyback was not only his father's fault. He had asked Greyback why he had such large teeth; he got his answer.

At a school trip to a muggle bookstore, his classmate, a young girl with long blonde hair braided back and tied with a blue ribbon read a story called 'The Little Red Riding Hood' to him. He could remember that she had the bluest eyes he'd ever scene.

3. If James, Sirius, and Peter hadn't talked to him first, he may have gone through his Hogwarts years without a single companion. Because of this, he had vowed that he'd rather die than sell a single one of them out.

So he wasn't sure what to do when he knew where Sirius was hiding and heard that it was he who killed James.

4. He defended Severus Snape all those times, because deep inside, he sympathized with him.

When he was younger, he was the one isolated and bullied. Only one girl bothered to protect him. He'd never forget her… and her blue eyes.

5. He secretly fancied Lily Evans when he was younger, but he closed his feelings for her. Her courage in defending Snape reminded Lupin of the young girl who had always stood up for him.

His wolf problem, however, made him shut down his heart to love.

6. Although he never told his friends, he extremely enjoyed the nickname for his problem, his "furry little problem." And the night that James died, he bought an adventurous rabbit with a coat of rich black fur.

He tried to convince himself that the black fur was in honor of only James. But in the back of his mind, he knew that it was because he never could fully believe that Sirius would do such a thing. And the black fur, matching the color of not only James', but also Sirius' hair, honored the old times when Sirius was a perfect image of a friend.

The rabbit escaped its cage and ran away the night Lupin found out Sirius escaped and he decided to work at Hogwarts.

7. At Hogwarts, whenever he saw Harry, Hermione, and Ron together, he had to hold back his tears.

Once upon a time, his circle of friends was as perfect as theirs.

8. He'd never thought Tonks would fancy him. One night, she asked him if he had any childhood crushes. He told her of the young girl with the blonde hair and blue eyes who was the only one who had stood up for him.

The next time he saw her, Tonks had a head full of beautiful golden locks cascading down her back and eyes twinkling like sapphires. It was in that appearance had Tonks confessed her feelings for him.

9. When Tonks held his hand, he cringed because he thought they'd never be happy together. When they were married, he wept for he felt he had made a grave mistake. When she announced her pregnancy, he raged at himself, for now the mistake was uncorrectable. When he held Teddy in his arms…

He smiled. It was at that moment, he knew that he had made the right choice.

10. He was battling Dolohov at the time. A maniacal laugh was suddenly heard to the right of Lupin. He turned to see Bellatrix, who was next to Dolohov, look at a young witch. Tonks had fled down the stairs towards him, crying his name. She didn't see Bellatrix lift her wand towards her, but Lupin did. He rushed over and roughly shoved Tonks out of danger's way, at the same time opening his mouth to cry out. But he was only able to utter the word "I─" before Dolohov shot a deadly curse, hitting him in the side. Long after the light had faded from his eyes, they stayed open. He had died with a great regret.

After closing his heart to love for so long, he had never found the courage to tell Tonks, verbally, that he loved her.

So that was the first chapter. I hope you enjoyed it.

For number 6, I'm not sure if you caught it, but the reason I added that the rabbit escaped at that time was because I was trying to symbolize both Sirius' great escape from Azkaban and the fact that he didn't need the rabbit as a reminder anymore because he was going to meet James' son.
