>Dear reader, I am Miss Katrina Malfoy, I was Katrina at but that website doesn't exist at the moment. So if this story is familiar to you, that is the reason. Also, whenever I make comments, I use those arrow things to denote that it is not part of the story. Without further adue, chapter one of 'Remus'>
The Runaway
A boy lay on the ground next to the Leaky Cauldron. His sandy brown hair hid his face and his tattered clothes kept him from being noticed. His legs were badly bruised with a long gash in the side that had been there for weeks. His shoes were reduced to thin rubber pads. He had been running. Running ever since his father found him in the woods after the accident. Remus knew that he couldn't go home. No one would ever understand what had happen to him and he would never tell.
He made it to the Leaky Cauldron, but he couldn't run anymore. Exhausted, he collapsed. Hoping that people had enough sense to stay away. He knew what he had become, a danger to his home and family. He couldn't stop himself when it happened; he knew it would, only a matter of time. He knew the gash was really a bite and that he; Remus J. Lupin was now a werewolf.
He knew he had to go far away; He was too smart to fall for the obvious cure. If he were to die, his family would be safe, sad but safe. Each night, he studied the moon, knowing that soon he would lose himself to the call of the night. He knew what he had to do, but he couldn't do it! He would have to hide somewhere.
He drifted into dreamland pondering these thoughts. Little did he know that the solution would find him while he slept. The solution named Dumbledore.
Dumbledore POV
I stumbled out of the Leaky Cauldron, intent on a walk around muggle London, when I saw something interesting. A small boy, who couldn't have been more than 8, was leaning against the side of the building. Curiosity got the best of me, so I went to investigate. After staring at him for a minute, I realized why he looked familiar. It was the missing Lupin boy. His father said goodnight to him over a week ago and when he came to wake him up in the morning, he was gone. Fearing the worst, the Lupins have half the ministry of magic after him. I picked him up and apparated to St. Mungos hospital. Once I had him set up, I contacted the ministry and then his parents. I was very interested in what he had to say when he woke up. I would just have to wait a while.
>Well what do you think? Remus is one of the most interesting characters and I thought that it'd be interesting to explore ideas of what he might have had to deal with. I do not own Remus or Dumbledore (duh)>
