Disclaimer: I do not own any of the HP characters. Just the ones I made up. You should know that, but I guess people these days are stupid and would sue me for not saying that I do not own the characters. There I said it. Now you can't sue me!! Mwah hahahaha!

This Chapter takes place in Harry's First year

~¤~

Avril stared out her window at the full moon. Her guardian, Remus Lupin, was wolfed out right now and locked in the basement. Her door was locked too in case he got out. 'Why of all nights does tonight have to be a full moon!' she thought to herself. She began pacing the length of her wall and stooped in front of a large pile of letters. They were her "fan mail" and she hated them. She never read any. Once in a while she would receive a howler from a "fan" she didn't respond to. Angel, her owl, began twittering and hooting.

"Oh, I'm sorry girl." Avril cooed. She stroked the white owl's back. Like Avril, Angel was always nervous around a full moon. Remus had gotten out once and attacked her, but Avril had to use a slowing spell on him so that she could rescue the owl. From that day on Angel was kept in a cage, and Remus was locked in the basement.

Finally, Avril crawled into bed and slept. As long as Remus remembered to take his potion, she could sleep.

The next morning, Remus Lupin (who will be referred to as Lupin by everyone else except Avril) was yelling from the basement to wake up Avril. She laughed to herself and then went down stairs to let him out.

"I hate it when you do that. You know I could sleep in your room if I wanted to." Lupin said. Then he went into the kitchen and began making breakfast. Avril shook her head and laughed to herself, then she went back to her room to find a barn owl sitting on her bed. She recognized it as her boyfriend, Cedric Digory's owl Bear. The note read:

Aves~

I've really missed you over the summer, and I'm so happy that I get to see you again today. I would've written more over the summer, but my stupid owl wouldn't bring them to you. Anyway, how much fan mail did you get this summer? I got a few. So, I'll see you on the express!

Love Always, Cedric

P.S. Take bear with you to the train station. He won't make it back in time to come with me. Thanks.

Avril folded up the note and let the two owls out into the house to have some breakfast.

Lupin had conjured up some eggs and toast and was sitting at the table reading the Daily Prophet. Avril got some orange juice and began eating her eggs. The two ate in silence and the Lupin looked at his watch.

"Okay time to go!" he said as he walked up to Avril's room to get her trunks.

"C'mon birds" she said to Angel and Bear who were picking at the leftover breakfast.

Avril climbed into the car as Lupin loaded her trunks and climbed into the driver's seat. When they reached the station, Avril ran to get a trolley. She returned to find Lupin having having troubke with Angel. He was trying to get her to go back into her cage, and muggles everywhere began to stare. Angel spotted Avril and perched on her shoulder. Avril laughed, and then successfully got Angel into her cage, which was cramped because Bear was in there too.

"Now don't forget to write to me about everything that's going on, and tell me when you Hogsmeade trips are so that I can see you." Lupin said.

"Remus, take a chill pill. Literally. I've only done this three times before. And I'll write to you. I might be coming home for the Christmas Holidays this year though. I was so bored last year." She looked at him in a matter-of-fact way.

"You're right." He said. "You are the best. It just makes me so sad that your parents couldn't see you." Avril glared at him. She hated her parents. Hated them in every way shape or form. Lupin realized what he said and kissed the top of her head. "Okay now, off you go." And he saw her threw the barrier and then left.
