Hands of Time
My name is Remus, and I have made a grievous mistake. I messed with the past. It may not seem like much; like I didn't change a whole lot. But that's not the point. Though brought up in a Muggle family, save for myself, I was raised to know better. But I did it anyway. I messed with time and I paid dearly. It cannot be changed. I cannot go back and undo it. There is no 'rewind' this time around. I have dug my hole, and there I must stay. My only hope, my one wish, is that in reading this, I will have stopped one person from following in my footsteps. Once again, I am Remus John Lupin, and this is my story.
-Sin. It took me farther than I wanted to go, kept me longer than I wanted to stay, and cost me far more than I ever wished to pay.-
I was in my seventh, and final, year at Hogwarts. Things were going fairly well. I had my best friends, Sirius, James, and well, I suppose Peter. But I think the only reason that we let him stick around is that he had nowhere else to go. Then there were the girlfriends- Lily was James's girl (finally), though I am not a girl, I thoroughly belonged to Sirius, and Peter was going with some fifth year named Miriam who was mistakenly convinced that going with a seventh year- even a dweeby one like Peter- was extremely cool.
And then there were the people that ranged from mild annoyances to mortal enemies depending on the day of week, amount of homework and, yes, even the weather- Siri's cousins Bellatrix and Narcissa, Narcissa boyfriend Lucius, his goons Crabbe and Goyle, and their sniveling follower Severus.
Of course, some other people worth mentioning (people of the friendly sort) were Siri's other cousin Andromeda, their distant cousin Arthur and his girlfriend, Molly. I do believe that Andromeda was in her fourth year (or maybe third) and Molly was a sixth year, oh well, it's not of great importance.
It was March, a busy month. It was a frenzy of Quidditch, N.E.W.T. preparation, and other hectic events. Here is where our story began.
A.N Sorry it's sooo short. BTW. The rest of the story is narrarated by three other people (maybe four)- not Reme!! I'll try to update soon, but I'm not done with the next chapter. I was at the dinner table and BOOM this story popped into my head. So I inhaled my mashed potatoes and set to work. TTFN! REVIEW!!
