The Change

JK ROWLING OWNS EVERYTHING –WARNING- RATED MA at least

Pain that was all Remus could feel it was shooting through his legs with every step he took, thousands of needles stinging his lungs but he can't stop running if he stops who knows what could happen. Seeing those teeth and claws hearing that unearthly growl he knew he had to get away he didn't know what he was running from but he knew that if he stopped that would most likely be the last thing he did… run….run…Run…RUN! He could see it his house if he got to the door nothing could hurt him he would be safe daddy would make all the bad things go away. Just a little further he slammed the gate shut … YES! He's inside now nothing can hurt him. "Daddy" little Remus shouted into the house "Daddy, help, it hurts" "Wha-" Mr. Lupin stopped taking in the sight, Remus had scratches all over his body. Mr. Lupin heard a banging at the door. "Get behind me" he told Remus. The door burst open, "NO IT CAN'T BE. GREYBACK. STAY AWAY!" Little Remus watched as the monster easily got past his dad and to him his dad casting spell after spell." STOP. GREYBACK TAKE ME INSTEAD" screamed. The monster bit him hard, the pain was the worst he had ever felt in his life. His shoulder was bleeding there was so much blood he was sure he would die, and as Remus cried he saw something that would change his life forever more than the bite just had.

"Oh your still alive, make me breakfast then" Joy said in the most demeaning way possible. Remus hated his life and honestly he wished he would stop waking up in the mornings he had nothing to look forward to. When he was little he said he would try his best to not hate anything in life and think of the good in everything so when he says he hates something he hates it. He hates Joy more than anything, no not the emotion he hadn't felt that recently enough to hate it. He hates the person that calls herself Joy, he once called her mother, now he calls her Joy or ma'am if he's lucky enough to get permission to speak. "Oh look who's awake" Trevor said walking in wearing a skin tight sleeveless shirt that hid none of his muscles. Remus know all to well how strong his new "father" was he wouldn't ever call him that just like his "mother" he called him Trevor or Sir. "What the fuck you little shit, you burnt my food. My guess is you don't want any food today do you?" Joy mocked Remus. "Go check the mail and stay out of my sight" Joy yelled out. "I've got to grab something from upstairs I'll be back in a while" Trevor yelled behind him following Remus out the kitchen door. "You know, you still look really well after my party last night were we to easy on you? I promise you'll enjoy yourself more next time Petite pute" Remus shivered in disgust as Trevor talked to him. Picking up the mail and hurrying to the kitchen to Joy, he would rather face Joys rath a thousand times then spend 10 minutes with Trevor. Placing the mail on the table for Joy to look at Remus begun cleaning somewhere safe, the kitchen. Joy suddenly got really quite which was odd she always seemed to find something to complain about. "Remus come in here please" Remus was shocked he hadn't heard her talk that nice to him sense "NO. Don't think about it" his brain shouted out him. Coming over to the table slowly and carefully Remus responded " Yes, Joy?" "Remus guess what" "Oh no what did he do wrong this time?" he franticly thought. "What?" "YOU GET TO GO TO HOGWARTS" Joy screamed joyfully. "What I thought I couldn't go to Hogwarts because…. you know." "I didn't think it possible but Dumbledore has found a way for you to go, oh this is wonderful we must go and get everything you'll need for the year." "May I see my letter?" "Don't lose it. We have to go get all your stuff its already July 30th." Remus sat there staring at his letters he couldn't believe it, there were three letter for him he couldn't help but smile. Reading the firsts two the letter it was what he thinks everyone get a list of thing he'll need and the acceptance letter. The third letter was a little different it read-

Dear, Mr. R. J. Lupin

I hope you had a wonderful 11 years. I would like to make you aware that I already know of your "condition" and it should not stop your educational growth. Which is why I'll already have a system in which this should not hinder your education. Please talk to me before the first full moon and I shall tell you all the details. I hope to see you at school on the 1st.

Dumbledore

"Come, come Remus I've already sent a letter saying you'll go now get your rain coat so we can go" Joy yelled. Remus grabbing his jacket and followed after her with a emotion bubbling inside him "is this happiness" Remus wondered. Pulling out her wand Joy tapped on seemingly random bricks until something amazing came into view Remus stared in awe his jaw hitting the floor, diagon alley had so many things to see Remus didn't think he would ever see all of them. "First we'll grab your books" Joy seemingly muttered to herself. The book store was amazing Remus would love to read every single one of these books. "You get 5 books not on the list, however if you don't have 5 by the time I have the rest of your books you only get what you have then. Now go find some books." Remus grabbed 5 random books so he wouldn't get less and started trading out the books in his hands for books he wanted like Hogwarts a History- Mythical and Magical Creatures - Mythical and Magical Objects and a few spell books. Remus finishing getting all his books before Joy finished getting all the books she came for found her and stayed close to her not wanting to lose her. After they finished in the book store Joy told Remus to go get his wand well she got the rest of his stuff. Walking into the little shop Remus was amazed how many little boxes there were he thinks that's where all the wands are finding a little bell on a desk Remus rings it. A very wrinkly man comes in. "And who might you be?" the old man asked "Remus Lupin Sir." " AAA another Lupin how about you try this wand" the old man said after doing some measuring. This went on for some time until Remus found his wand. 10 ¼ Cypress, Unicorn hair Remus felt stronger than he ever had in his life, he was going to learn as much as he could and then Trevor would never touch him again. Remus couldn't wait for the school year.
