Remus

It was a cold morning in late August when Remus got his letter. He thought it was going to be a normal day in the life of Remus Lupin. Wake up in the ripped to pieces' bedroom in the cellar by the kitchen, eating breakfast while his mother argue with his father about him moving up to his room upstairs when the full moon is not up, her giving up on his father and storming out of the house and not coming back before the evening. Him being scolded by his father, being sent down to his bedroom in the cellar and reading the rest of the day. But little did he know that this would be one of the best days of his life.

He had just recovered from the last full moon. It seemed to have been a really bad one. He had bandaged all over his body and his room smelled like piss and blood. As usual. He put on some clothes carefully and climbed the ladder and came up to a quiet kitchen to his surprise. It didn't seem like his father was there but his mother was in the kitchen cooking. "Mom?" Remus asked. "Yes darling, is something wrong?" His mother said turning around to hug him. Remus remained quiet for a while, but asked eventually "Where's dad?" His question seemed to have surprised his mother because she just stood quiet and stared at him. "Um. He… he… he's out. Doing stuff" She said turning back and kept cooking. "You want pancakes Remus?" "Yes please, thank you" And there they were, just Remus and his mother. There weren't many of these days. He hated it when his mother wasn't there because when she did come home Remus would have been scolded more than once and often burned by a sickle coin of silver or a spoon by his dad. He didn't blame her for storming out from the house. He would like to do that to. They sat down at the table and Remus looked up at his mom. Felt brave for a moment and asked her the question that he had thought about since he came up today.

"Was it that bad this time?" He asked his mother who looked up at him and stared at him quiet for the second time that morning. "Erm, it was pretty bad, but you'll be just fine" She answered and smiled at him, he smiled back and felt happy. He looked down at his plate and smiled again. Before continuing to eat.

They sat there in silence and ate. When they were half way through the breakfast when he's father popped up in the doorway. "Darling" He said quiet. Remus looked back and forth from his mom to his dad. "I'm not talking to you Lyall. I'm enjoying breakfast with my son here" His mother had a cold and angry voice. "Fine" Lyall answered. "You could get the post young man" He said looking with a disgusted look into Remus eyes. Remus stand up quickly and went to get the post. He came back in the kitchen with a big smile on his face. "What it is darling?" His mother asked coming to look what he was reading. "Remus J. Lupin the cellar beside the kitchen" She read out loud she looked up at her husband, her eyes questioning if it was true. She watched Remus sitting himself down at the table again. His parents watched him while he opened the letter and read out loud "Dear Mr. Lupin. We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Minerva McGonagall, deputy headmistress." Remus realized what it meant and stared at the letter in shock. He and been accepted even though he was a werewolf? He looked up at his parents that were in as much shock as he was. He took the second paper in his hands and stared reading out loud again. "HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY. Uniform. First-year students will require:

"Remus darling, you don't need to read all of that out loud. But, what's this. I never got a third document." She said pointing at a third little document laying on the table. Remus picked it up. "Should I read this out loud then?" He asked. "Yes please, let us hear" To his surprise it was his father answering. "O-ok. Dear Mr. Lupin. We are aware of your condition and you will be escorted to a special place in the time of our transformation. You will be asked to come up to the headmaster's office and talk about it after the sorting, Minerva McGonagall." Remus, still in shock looked at the three papers in front of him. "Erm. Well I guess we will go out shopping then" His mother said looking quite happily at him.
