Prologue

Remus John Lupin is an eleven year olf werewolf, who has spent his life believing that he would never be able to go to Hogwarts because of his condition. However, one day he gets a letter from the esteemed headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry – Albus Dumbledore. He opens it excitedly.

'Dear Mr Remus Lupin,

I am delighted to inform you that we will be offering you a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry . You will need to reply back before the thirty-first of July to confirm your place, which will start on the first of September . We have also made arrangements for your monthly transformations, which will keep yourself and the students and staff at Hogwarts safe. Please be assured that you will be safe to attend Hogwarts.

Best wishes,

Albus Dumbledore

Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry'

Remus is completely in shock at the letter. His hands start to shake and his eyes are filled with tears. Finally, he will be able to be seen as a real wizard and not an monster, as he once feared.

His father, Julian Lupin looks across the table at Remus. Remus hands the letter to Julian and when he finishes reading, he is speechless. Julian can only feel gratitude for Albus Dumbledore for allowing his son a place, when it had seemed so hopeless.

"Remus, are you okay?" Julian asks. "I know this is a surprise, but you will really need to brave, son," Julian whispers comfortingly to Remus, who is still in shock.

Remus looks up with a look of happiness that Julian has not seen for years. "I am fine Dad, I am just happy. I can't believe am going to Hogwarts! I have dreamt about this day for years, knowing it would never happen but now I get to go so I am happy," Remus says with a huge smile on his face. He gets up and hugs his father.

As the two of them embrace, there is a sound of a door opening. Two people enter the kitchen. Julian and Remus both look to see who has walked in.

"Hey Re, what's up? Why do you look like someone just gave you the keys to Honeydukes?" Sirius Lupin asks with an amused look on his face. Julian and Remus burst into laughter, which leaves Sirius and Remus's mother, Serena looking more confused than before.

"Sirius, Mum. I got a letter from Hogwarts saying that they will accept me and I can go in September with Sirius!" Remus says with so much excitement in his voice.

"WHAT!?" they both scream with huge grins on their faces.

"Re, you mean it? We can go to Hogwarts together?" Sirius asks with excitement in his eyes. He runs and hugs his best friend so tight that Remus can't breathe.

After regaining his breath and receiving a hug from his mother and a muttered congratulations, Remus re-reads the letter and says, "yeah Sirius, it's true. We get to go together! I can hardly believe it myself but we will be going together," he says with tears in his eyes. He then receives another bone-crushing hug from Sirius.

The rest of the day and night consists of the family discussing what will happen about Remus's transformations and how they will be dealt with. Remus is still in shock at knowing he will be with Sirius at Hogwarts together, especially since they had been so uncertain that they'd go to Hogwarts because of the 'incident' that scarred them both.

The following weeks of summer fly by and before they know it, there is only a week before they are set to depart from King's Cross Station to Hogwarts. However, before they can do that they have to go through the monthly transformation.

As Julian Lupin leads the boys down to the underground cellar they leave their clothes and prepare for their transformation. They run out to the large expanded corner of woods which is surrounded by trees and a large pond. There is plenty of room for two adolescent werewolves to run.

As the moon begins to rise the sounds of screaming and snapping and breaking of bones can be heard in the summer night air. Once the screams turn into howls, standing in the middle of the grounds are a rather large black wolf with midnight blue eyes, and next to him a smaller tawny wolf with golden eyes.

After recovering from the initial transformation, they look at each other and set off for a night of running, playing and howling at the moon.

When the moon sets, they are brought back to their shared bedroom and healed. They are then left to rest for the remainder of the day.

The boys spend the rest of the week relaxing and preparing to head off to Hogwarts, gathering all of their possessions and locking them in their trunks while they admire their new wands.

Sirius's twelve inch ebony wand with dragon heartstring core is great for transfiguration and charms, as opposed to Remus's ten inch flexible mahogany wand core of phoenix feather which is great for defence. They have also bought an owl two weeks ago whose name is Starlight, with lovely white feathers.

The next day the boys and their parents drive to King's Cross. It takes an hour to get from their home in the south of Yorkshire. When they arrive at King's Cross and before they head to the platform, they both look at each other both with nervous smiles on their faces, nodding and taking each other's hands. There is no turning back now.
