A/N: Hey, this is my first FanFiction on this site! I love HP, and it's always been one of my goals to actually write a FF for this fandom, and now I'm doing it! If I have grammar problems, spelling mistakes, feel free to leave a review on here telling me! Constructive critism always welcomed! Leave reviews and just enjoy the writing! (HOPEFULLY)

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, J.K Rowling, the fabulous creator of Harry Potter, does! I only own my OC's which for now would be Sun and the nurses in this story. Enjoy!

The day was dark, almost black, which was quite usual for a place like Hogwarts. Although the eeriness was not, Teddy Lupin thought as he walked down the hallway to his office. Teddy was the Potions master in Hogwarts ever since he was offered the job when he graduated Hogwarts. It was good fun, and nice to be able to stick around with his family more until they graduated. At first he was skeptical about it, I mean, who'd want to be a teacher? Aren't they boring? Alas, poor Teddy, could not turn down the offer. After all, it was only for a week unless you decided you wanted to keep the job. Well, teaching isn;t as boring as he thought it would be. He found a new-born passion for teaching students how to create Polyjuice Potions(Only on Fridays, Fridays are his 'Secret Lesson' days!), Gargling Warfburner, and more. The only real problem was his God-brother...James Sirius Potter. That boy, whom he loved dearly, got himself into all kinds of trouble in that class! So many detentions, I'm pretty sure he's broken his grandfathers record of detentions. And his fathers. It was only his second year for Merlins sake!

Put together, he added to himself silently with a smirk. Although he was quite troublesome, he was his best mate. He could confide everything in him, and trust him not telling anyone. James Sirius may be a prankster, but he is a trustworthy companion. He arrives to his office and fumbles around for his keys, taking them out of his back pocket and opening the door to the open space. Setting the papaers on a desk, he looks favorably at a picture of him and James grinning at the camera, just a normal polaroid picture. He's always enjoyed still moments more then moving ones for some reason, he still does. He sits down at his desk and begins the other bad thing about his job. Grading. He simply loathed giving nice kids a bad grade, they were, as he said, nice kids. e would have to personally chat with them, maybe pull some strings. He knows some of them have more potential than this. Teddy sighs, then again looks at the still muggle picture, then smiles.

''They'll learn in no time once I tutor them.'' About 2 hours later and his grading his done, he starts putting papers and pencils into his bag, that was until someone ran in.

''P-Professor!'' A young girl panted, hands on her knees, a Ravenclaw. Teddy stood up, quickly coming to her aid. ''What is it, Sun?'' She panted and looked up, obvious distress in her eyes. ''I-it's James! He went beserk!'' He rose his eyebrows and sat her down on the couch. ''Beserk? What do you mean?'' She burst out into tears, holding her face. ''Mad as a hatter! Insane! All he did was laugh and break things a-and jump around! He almost killed himself!'' Teddys eyes widened at what Sun just said, and whispered quietly. ''H-how..?'' She sniffed, then shook sadly as she cried. ''H-he tried cursing himself! We don't know if it was an accident or-or not!'' For a moment, he could not bear to breathe, could not bear to even talk, the only thing that ran through his mind was James...James...He brought himself out of his thoughts and looked at Sun again, who was still crying. ''Where is he now?'' She choked out 2 words. ''H-hospital W-wing!''

He wasted no time in getting there.

Teddy Lupin ran as fast as he could, leaving Sun on the couch to nap for a while, she said that many tried to stop him and James just went on and on about random things...this was scaring him. As soon as he arrived to the Hospital Wing, he saw one of the nurses there going to the closet. He quickly ran to her, panting. ''J-James...Potter..?'' She looked at him, her face pale and grim. ''Professor Lupin. James is in a very unstable state, he can;t have any visi-'' He interrupted, angry. ''I'm asking you what is wrong with him, now please, tell me!'' Her face, covered in wrinkles and crows feet, fell slightly. ''I'm afraid...I'm afraid that ...well..'' He grew more impatient by the second. ''Well, what?'' The nurse took out an item from the closet and looked at him, serious. ''James Potter has, literally, lost his mind. He's insane, mad. Gone. He and his mind are gone. No one knows what happened, all we know is that he needs strict supervision and a place at immediatly.'' Teddy could not bear this anymore and tears, tears of grief and sadness and sorrow, tears that came in waterfalls as they flowed down his pale cheeks. Tears that wouldn't fade easily, tears that mourned...It couldn't be, it just couldn't. James, the bou who always grinned and pranked everyone, the boy who had an easy time making friends, making people smile...

That boy was gone...? Just like this? Without any warning? No reason? Out of thin air it happened...He then lowered his eyes on the item the nurse was holding, and he just couldn't bear it anymore. She was holding a straight-jacket.

Straight-jackets are used for crazy people. James isn't crazy...

''B-but..'' He croaked out, wiping his eyes sloppily with the cuff of his sleeve. ''W-why...?'' That was all he asked before he looked down ruefully, tears threatening to fall once more, and he welcomed them. The salty water had traveled from the corner of his eyes, to the bridge of his nose, the tip, then dripped onto the floor to create a small, almost unnoticable puddle of sadness and remorse. The nurse, putting a hand on his shoulder, replied sadly and unsure. ''We're not sure. He was just brought in here, we had to sedate him. We shall get him to and they will decide what the cause of this is.'' Teddy nodded slowly, then stood up, trying to hide his face. ''...c-can you...fix him..?" The nurse stood silent, after a few minutes, she spoke up. ''I don't know.'' He let out a shaky sigh and held a hand over his mouth while nodding. ''T-thank you. V-very well then. Wh-when can I see him?''

She walked over to a cabinet and with a swish of her wand, it opened and out came a small pocket watch. It was silver and no more the size of one of his cuff links, the chain was a stunning silver as well, and the watch had a little glow radiating from it. There were no numbers or ticks, just the hands of the watch. Minute, hour, and second. She took it from it's peacefl levitation in the air and walked over to him and gently put the wach in his hand. ''This will tell you when you can visit, or when he needs you. All you have to do is whisper his full name, and whenever he needs you or you need him, it will tell you when it's time.'' He took the chain and looked at her, grateful. ''Thank you so much...'' He then put it around his neck, it now serving as a necklace around his masculine neck.

She nodded curtly with a small smile, her wrinkles more defined with each movement or twitch in her face. ''Yes, now go on son, go home.'' He nodded, then suddenly remember. ''Sun...I've got to go anyways, thank you for your time and...please, be careful with him...he's important to me...'' Understanding, she nodded and went to do her work, and Teddy left to go get Sun. To his suprise, she had left. Leaving him a note saying she went back to the Ravenclaw Dorm to sleep, thanking him for his help. Now he needed to send Harry and Ginny a letter...

This is most disheartening.

Having to tell someones parents that their son is insane is easier said that done, and saying it is pretty hard. He can't really just go up to them and go, 'Hey, guess what? You're son has lost his mind and is trying to kill himself.' Teddy thought bitterly to himself, and yet with a sigh and a snap of a rubberband on his wrist that's used to keep him up at night if he was working late, he began to write the letter.

To whom it may concern,

Harry, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to come to Hogwarts immediatly. Something has gone wrong with James and we're not sure why, but he really needs you right now. Please come as soon as you can and if you have the time, please be sure to tell Lily and Albus to keep their voices down and shut when they talk to James. Trust me on this and I'll explain everything when you get here. Send Ginny my love.

-Teddy Lupin

He hoped that Harry would get the letter soon as he walked up to his owl, Artie. He tied it gently onto his talon, then whispered the address to him and sent him flying into the sky toward the Potter household. That night, that horrid, dreaful night, he could not sleep. All he could think about was James, young James...so very young, only his second year, and it has to be cut short due to an incident no one knows about. It really isn't fair, especially to him! He's barely 14 and this happens..it's just..

Not fair.

He holds his face for a few silent, painful minutes before standing, going to his own dormitory and changing, crawling into his bed and sleeping.

He couldn't sleep that night.

Awaking with a peaceful yawn, Harry Potter sits up and rubs his face. He picks up his glasses from the nightstand and stands up, stretching with yet another yawn. Seeing that Ginny had already gone downstairs, to make breakfast probably, he changes and fixes his hair, lightly touching his scar. He remembers the pain this scar had brought him, he remembers how he and Voldermort were connected through this scar...None of that had mattered now. Smiling to himself, he also remembers another fact. The scar had not pained him for 21 years. It had not shown any signs of doing so, either. He walks downstairs, after brushing his teeth of course, and sees his wife, Ginny, reading a letter. Silent.

''Gin? Is that from Ted?'' She nods slowly. Usually he would have been excited, but something in Ginnys posture said it wasn't good news. He kneels next to her. ''What's it say, Ginny?'' She looks at him. ''It's about James. Something is wrong, Harry.'' She stated, looking at him, a small panic rising within her. ''We need to get there right away, Ted says! Harry..?'' He stood silent, then stood up. ''Get the children, I'll get the car.'' With a nod, she goes to her daughters room, gently waking the small red-headed girl. Yawning, she rubs her eyes and sits up.

''Mum..I'm tired..'' Ginny picks her up and heads to Albus' room, knocking. Fortunately, he was already up and in the process of brushing his teeth. ''Albus, get ready quickly, we need to go to !'' He looked at her, saw the seriousness in her face, then sped through quickly. Albus grabbed his glasses and followed Ginny to the car, helping put Lily in her seat with the seatbelt and climbing in next to her, buckling himself in. Ginny got in the passenger seat and slammed the door, not bothering with the seatbelt. ''GO!'' Harry jumped and started the car, making sure that no one was around, he drove off onto a Dead End road.

''Mom? Dad? Where are we going?'' Albus asked from the back of the seat, confused as the car lifted from the ground. They gave no reply, seeming to not hear him, lost in their own thoughts while Harry concentrated on the way to . He made a turn on where the path should be...

And off to they went.

Ted waited in the lobby of for what seemed like hours. He had a substitute for him while he was here, the Headmaster understood that this was important, and for that he was thankful. He tried to distract himself, staring at the watch the nurse had gave him. The silver outlining was beautiful, even in it's size. It was laced with gold on the outside of the watch in small patterns, and he saw something that intrigued him. On the back of the watch, there was his own name in gold letters. He stared, slightly amused at how it got on there, but was broke of his chance when he felt a tap on his head.

''Sir?'' A quiet, timid voice asked. Ted looked up at the young woman. Her short dark brown hair shined lightly in the light, her gentle blue eyes showing her youth brightly. She must have been new, he thought. He wasn't that old himself, only about 20. He graduated 2 years ago from Hogwarts.

''Yes..?'' Came his reply, it came out croaky. His throat had become quite sore, he needed some water. She half smiled, holding a clipboard close to her chest. ''We'd just like to inform that James Potters' parents are in the other lobby, if you'd like to see them...'' He nodded his thanks and stood up, taking a deep breath and walking to the other lobby where they'd be awaiting.

''Ted!'' Ginny was the first to speak, walking to him with a pale look on her face. Along with Ginny, the color also drained from his face. ''G-Ginny...'' He bit his lip, almost afraid to tell them what had become of James. Yes, he visited the poor boy. It was..it was as if he had completely forgotten who he was, or just didn't care, and started screaming incoherent things! He was not James, he was an entirely different person. His eyes, the once beatiful and mesmerising hazel that always had a spark of life and mischeif, now bloodshot with crazy as it's only spark in the dark pools which were supposed to be his..but not anymore, no more would he have those beautiful, glorious eyes. The doctors hadn't found the source, they hadn't found a way to fix this. They were afraid, so they said, that he was never going to be the same...

The best they could do was medication for the time being, but it would only calm him, make him tired. Not himself again. He had been broken in more ways than possible, and the answer to why was impossible to get. Sun said he was found like that in class, he just ran in and started ging crazy with his wand. Turning people into frogs, mice, rabbits, even teacups. Although that's impressive in that state, it was still mahem. He even tried to curse himself with an unforgivable curse, if it wasn't for Lysander. Lysander expelliarmed him and tackled him to the ground, another thing unusual. Lysander tackling someone. At least it was for his own good.

After explaining all that happened to Harry and Ginny, (Albus was with Lily in another lobby, Albus watching Lily talk to another young girl her age) they were as silent as statues in a cemetary.

''...I need to see him.'' Harry spoke up first, through gritted teeth. Ginny, just as she thought her face couldn't get whiter. Nodding, Teddy turned and led them to the doctor. ''They would like to see them, sir.'' Looking at the two stricken parents, he moved away from the door. ''Take caution, slow movements and talk slowly in a soft voice.'' Harry, holding his breath, nodded curtly while Ginny stayed silent. The doctor unlocked several heavy locks on the door, and with a flick of his wand the door opened slowly and silently.

''Be very slow...'' Ted repeated for the doctor as the nervous parents walked through the door. ''Very slow.''
