Marauder's Diaries: Moony
Chapter One
You walk into a dark room under an odd tree. You had been following a rat that seemed familiar. You recognize your surroundings from a favorite book. From one of your obsessions written by J.K.Rowling, your favorite author. You gaze around the room. You recognize it as the Shrieking Shack, from Harry Potter's third year of Hogwarts, where Remus Lupin had hid. You realize this world you wished you had lived in was real. You are surprised, and call yourself a foolish Muggle. You notice four, huge books. You pick up the big, red one. In black lettering it reads 'The Diary of Remus Lupin. Also known as Moony. A proud Gryffindor. A proud Marauder.' You open it, to reveal small handwriting. It was probably bewitched. You start to read.
(This diary was edited by an older Remus Lupin so it would make since! It was only the grammar, spelling, etc.)
(This diary was numbered by Remus Lupin, with the help of Harry Potter, because his hand grew tired and Harry was serving detention.)
(Moony doesn't like dates. Or...they were smeared, as he claims. From Harry Potter and Sirius Black, who came out of the veil!)
Entries One Through Ten
Entry One
I am Remus Lupin and I am six years old today. I go to Little Wizards School and I am in my second year there. We are learning to read and write. I am doing good. My Daddy bought me a new book, it was used. He says we cannot afford new things. I am told we are very poor. My clothes are old, as are most of my things. I would like to have nicer things, but it is not a big deal. My Daddy told me to come to my room. I do not know why. He said he wanted to talk business in private. The man his is talking business with is big and scary. I do not like him. That is all.
~Remus Lupin~
Entry Two
My Daddy is having another business talk. He said it was adult business, and little wizards cannot listen. My Daddy told me to practice writing. So here I am. I don't know why, I can already write well. I want to read, but my books are in the living area, where Daddy and the scary man are talking business. I don't understand why Daddy would want to talk business with a mean man like that. My Daddy isn't a mean man. He doesn't need to be talking with mean men, I don't want him to become a mean man. But, I think my Daddy is too nice to be mean. And he loves me very much, and I love him. And he loves my Mommy. So he won't become a mean man. That makes me feel much better.
I am going to stop writing, Daddy came in and said the man is gone. He calls him Mr.Blinktoe.That is a funny name, I said. Daddy said that it wasn't polite to say it was a funny name, so I didn't say it again. But it is still funny. I am going to go play with my Daddy. He's teaching me how to fly. It is fun.
~Remus Lupin~
Entry Three
I am scared. My daddy is acting strange, so is my mommy. They said that daddy is in debt, and that the men are very...what is that word? I think its...eager, yes, very eager to get the money he owes. Mommy and Daddy said that they would do anything for money. Mommy wants to move, but we don't have enough money to buy a new house. Daddy says it is all going to be fine. But Mommy said that she doesn't think it will. That she won't let the men touch me. They had already gotten my brother...Romulus, I didn't know him. He had been my twin, and he died. Mommy said he died because the men are greedy, and Daddy had been in debt and they took him away. Daddy and Mommy had to watch him die. They will not tell me how, though. I do not know if I want to know, but I do. I am like a kitten, or at least that is what my daddy says. I am going to stop writing now. The men are here and I am going to listen and try to know what is going on.
~Remus Lupin~
Entry Four
I told you I was scared yesterday, but I am even more scared today! Mr.Blinktoe said that if my daddy doesn't pay the debt, something is going to happen to me. With Romulus, who I learnt is not dead, but something really bad happened to him and that is going to happen to me. I do not know what, but I do know I am very scared. I have never been this scared. I do not like it. I can't think. I keep saying, think happy thoughts but it is not working. I don't know why. I don't want to be scared. It isn't good to be scared. I need to be strong. Daddy says we all need to be strong, for our own sakes. I don't know what our sakes his, but Daddy said it is like our soul. I do not understand why he didn't just say that. But I don't want anything bad to happen. I am too scared. What if they do what they did to Romulus to me and I never see Mommy or Daddy ever again? I could not live without my mommy or my daddy. I don't know how anyone could live without their mommies or daddies. It would be too scary. Even for Muggles! Never you mind that, Muggles are scared of everything. It is even scary for wizards and witches. I can't write anymore, I want my mommy. I am too scared.
~Remus Lupin~
Entry Five
Daddy said they are coming to take me away in a week. I am very scared. He will not tell me what will happen. I don't think he wants to tell me. I don't blame him, it must be real bad. He put a spell on my diary so that all I have to do is think and it appears on the diary. I think that is very neat. I told Daddy so. He just smiled. It was not a real smile. It was the kind of smile that is sad, and looks like you feel guilty. I don't want my Daddy to feel guilty. I love him too much. He is a good daddy. He should not be guilty. And I know he will not let anything happen to me. That is all for now.
~Remus Lupin~
Entry Six
I still do not know what is going to happen to me. My Daddy will not tell me. I am sorry I didn't write in this diary yesterday. I meant to, but I got too scared. I am very scared because I do not know what will happen. I think I will listen to my mommy and daddy talking tonight. Maybe I will find out something. I will write in this what I hear. I do not have friends at school, my family is too poor. Every person thinks we are lowly. I go there on scholarship. I had to take a test to get in. It costs a lot of money. I do like school. I just do not like lunch and play time.
~Remus Lupin~
Entry Seven
I listened to what my mommy and daddy were talking about. They said that the men wanted to take me. I already knew that. But Mommy asked Daddy what they would do to me. Daddy answered, the worst thing ever. The worst thing ever I am guessing is something that makes me hurt for ever and hurts my mommy and daddy too. He said it would be the same as Romulus. Mommy sounded upset and said she could not handle losing another son. Daddy said we would not loose me, because they would send me home and they would not loose me, but have to feel bad and watch me hurt. That is all I got and I do not know what they are talking about. It makes me more and more scared. I do not want anything to happen to me, I did not do anything. I do not have anything else to write about. So I will stop.
~Remus Lupin~
Entry Eight
I have three more days until I know. My mommy and daddy said they are counting down the days in agony. I think agony is bad and painful. I guess they are not looking forward to knowing what will happen to me. I am not either. I am more scared. I thought I was scared before, but I am getting more and more scared. This is not fun. I wish it was a joke. I wish Daddy could pay the debt. I wish I did not have to go through whatever I will have to go through. I am scared to know. I am in what Mommy and Daddy are in, and I do not even know what the word means. It has to be bad though, and scared, so it has to mean what I am feeling right now. I do not know anything. Not about this. I am only six and I used to think I was a big boy, but I am little. I do not want to die or...or, go through agony. I am going to stop writing now.
~Remus Lupin~
Entry Nine
I have two days. I heard Daddy say so. I do not know what to think, and I am getting more scared each day. I do not want anything to happen. I can't change anything, I am only six years old! I'm a little wizard, I do not have the power to do anything. That is why they said they would do something to me, because I can't do anything to them. I am really scared now and I don't want to go through what I am going to go through. I want help. But no one can help me. My mommy and my daddy are trying to get help, but I do not think they will get any. I cannot write anymore. I am too scared.
~Remus Lupin~
Entry ten
Tomorrow is when whatever is going to happen will happen. All my thoughts will be in this diary because my dad bewitched it. That's what he said. He said he bewitched so that whatever I think will show up in my diary, and people will know what happens and what I am going through. He will not tell me what will happen to me. He says it would scare me, and he doesn't want me to...to dwell on it. Yes, that is what he said, to dwell on it. I don't know what dwell is by itself, but I know what it means in this sentence. Well, my daddy is going to finish bewitching the diary. Bye.
~Remus Lupin~
You sit in awe, wondering what will happen to Remus. You think he will be bitten, yet you do not know. You decide to review the author's work, who thanks you for your time. You say whatever you wish, and wait in anticipation as you turn the page. Before you do, you see in big, bold letters, PLEASE REVIEW!
