Chapter 1:Tinworth
When I fell to the ground my head hurt. The air was cold and I shivered. I pulled my threadbare cloak around me tighter. The sun was setting and I could tell that the moon would rise soon. My head was thumping and my heart was going so fast in my chest. There were butterflies in my stomach. I hadn't felt these sensations in a long time. I could smell the sea air. It made my eyes water and burned my throat. The smell reminded me of my childhood.
I was born in Blackpool on the 10th March in 1960 to a french father and english mother. They first met along the famous promenade. Dad was on holiday with his best friend, Liam Potter, when he first saw mum. Liam introduced John to mum after he noticed that dad was staring at her and had started blushing. Mum told me that the first things she noticed about dad was his warm eyes, kind smile and the pink flush in his cheeks when he was embarrassed. John had intended to just spend one week in Blackpool and then return home to Paris. Instead he spent two months there and then returned to Paris with my mum in toe to tell his parents that he was engaged to her and they were going to get married. They had a quiet wedding. Liam was the best man and another friend of dad's Kip was the page boy. I pulled out a photograph from my pocket. My mother, Jenny, was smiling widely as dad embraced her. Her tawny hair was shining in the sunlight and her sparkling blue eyes shone as well. Dad was taller with sandy blonde hair. His eyes were the colour of melted milk chocolate. Liam looked a lot like his son and grandson. He had the same messy Potter hair that was jet black. His eyes were not hazel like James. They were a light gray. To many observers Kip would be seen as a curiosity. His light brown hair was streaked with gray and his face was littered with many scars. His amber eyes stood out in the photograph. He was the most familiar to me in the photograph. I touched my face. I felt the rough scars under my fingers. I had those same amber eyes as Kip. I was happy and innocent until the moment dad insulted Greyback. He called him a coward for attacking innocent people on purpose just to infect someone with lycanthropy. I became the next victim. Dad was so upset and mum was trying her best to cope, but she was a muggle and still trying to understand the wizarding world. My first transformation was more painful than the bite had been. I felt as if my whole body was on fire when all my bones broke at the same time. My skin stretched to accommodate the change. Fur then pushed through my skin. I screamed for my mum and dad to make it stop. The worse thing was losing control and my mind. It was like that every month on the full moon.
I felt tears fall down my cheeks as I remember all these memories and more. I remembered the first time I met the rest of the Marauders and my time at Hogwarts as a student. I remembered when they became animagi for me. I also remembered the day Lily and James died and how I believed my lover to be their betrayer. I was relived when I found out that Peter betrayed them and that Sirius was innocent. I remembered the moment that Sirius fell through the veil. I remembered Dumbledore's funeral. I remembered my wedding to Dora and the birth of my son Teddy. I finally remembered my death at the hands of the Death eaters.
I felt the moon rise suddenly along this rocky coastline. I was suddenly bathed in moonlight. I was scared. I started screaming. My limbs were shaking as my bones started to break and reform. The fur was pushing through my skin as I howled to the guardian and bringer of my curse. I was no longer me as the wolf took over.
I was still on the rocky coast when I awoke. I was naked and alone. My muscles were stiff and ached. I fainted after I transformed back. I was covered in fresh bites and scratches. The smell of my blood was making me dizzy. I heard a noise. A beautiful blonde woman was walking towards me. She wore a shocked expression on her face. She seemed weary as she walked towards my broken body. She swore in french when she noticed I was covered in blood.
"Now now, there is no need to swear," I responded chuckling slightly.
"How did you know I swore, and what happened?" She asked.
"I'm half french and I speak french fluently. As for what happened, well last night was a full moon, I'm covered in bites and scratches and butt naked. What do you think happened?" I answered hoping she would put two and two together and work out what happened.
"I'm just going to get my husband. He knows how to deal with werewolf bites. Keep still, I will be back in a few minutes." She ran quickly muttering about werewolves and why was it that her family and friends had to deal with the consequences. I suddenly fainted from exhaustion again.
I was confused when I awoke and found myself in a bed. A strawberry blonde girl with blue eyes was starring at me when she noticed I was awake.
"Be quiet, mum and dad don't know I'm in here. Who are you and what happened?" She asked. She was pretty and looked no older than 9.
"I am a werewolf and I transformed last night. A blonde woman found..."
"Yeah mum found you and then got dad to help transport you here. Mum and dad were a little freaked out as you could get into our house without having any problems with the Fidelius Charm. Dad helped bandage your bites and scratches that were bleeding. He has gone to fetch madam Pomfrey." Someone was suddenly walking upstairs. " I better go."
"Not so fast Vic. What are you doing up here. Your mother and I told you to stay downstairs. Come on leave the man alone." Vic suddenly left sulking.
"I'm sorry about her, but she is incredibly curious. Madam Pomfrey will be upstairs to finish treating you in a few minutes."
"Wait, where am I?" I asked. I noticed the man beside me had Weasley red hair and scars on his face. Could this be Bill.
"This is Shell Cottage. I've got a few questions for you. Will you answer them truthfully?" He asked.
"I'll do my best." I answered as both the blonde haired woman, who I suspected to be Fleur, and Madam Pomfrey entered the room.
"How did you get into this house, which is under the Fidelius Charm, with out us having to revive you and then reveal the secret?"
"Bill, you have already revealed the secret to Shell Cottage to me. I was told after you got married to Fleur. I could enter this house because I had been told the secret by the secret keeper." Madam Pomfrey was suddenly dabbing a nasty green ointment into my bites and scratches. I had to bite my tongue to prevent myself from screaming out. It needed to be done to prevent my injuries from getting infected. Bill was still questioning me.
"Why did you break the law by transforming without being under the influence of wolvesbane potion?"
"What law is that and who came up with it?" I asked.
"Mrs Hermione Weasley when she worked for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. It was an attempt to prevent werewolves who didn't want to infect people from doing so accidentally. So why were you not under the influence of the potion?"
"I only just arrived last night. I didn't know it was the full moon. In fact I shouldn't be here. I should be..." I stopped as tears fell down my cheeks. Pomfrey had finished with the ointment and was now bandaging my injuries.
"Dear, you have a broken leg and a sprained wrist." She put a splint on my leg and bandaged my wrist tightly. She turned to leave. "By the way, he is not allowed to leave that bed today."
"Don't worry, he won't Poppy." Fleur replied. Poppy soon left. Bill tucked me in gently.
"You should be?"
"Dead," I replied, "I should be a load of bones in a grave along side my wife."
"Wait, you are meant to be dead. How did you get in Tinworth then," Fleur asked.
"I just landed from out of nowhere. I've lost my friends and transformed. I just want to know what is going on. What year it is? Where Sirius, James and the others are? What am I doing here?
"The year is 2009. We can't answer the other questions though. We will try to help but you are going to stay in bed until Poppy feels that your fit enough to move." Bill answered sincerely.
"Thank you," I replied as I suddenly fell asleep. I didn't know what was happening but I was going to sort things out. I would find my friends and family.
I hope you enjoyed this introduction. The next chapter is set roughly the same time but in a different area and with a different Pov. Please read and review.
