Chapter 1
"Remus!", I awoke quickly noticing my Mother had shouted me, lazily I crawled out of bed to open my curtains, as I drew them back sunlight flooded into the room highlighting its normally dim features. I sighed as the sunlight hit my face, I loved the sun it was better than the moon, a lot better.
Suddenly noticing my lunar calander on the wall I flung myself onto my bed, the full moon was only in a couple of weeks.
"Remus! Are you coming downstairs?", shouted my Mother up the stairs.
"Just a minute Mum!", I yelled back.
Getting changed quickly I ran towards the bathroom knocking on the door loudly.
"Who is that!?", shouted my Brother, Sams, voice from inside(It is quite deep seeing as he is 15)
"It's Remus.", I replied as he opened the door and came out wearing a towel and another one wrapped around his dark hair.
"You okay?", he asked happily ruffling my hair with his hands.
I nodded and walked into the bathroom calmly, the sunlight hit the walls revealing beautiful patterns on the white tile, it smelt of cologne and soap which is attually what it always smelt like.
I got in the shower quickly washing myself down and my hair wondering what to do afterwards, maybe I should go outside for a while I thought as I got back out of the shower.
I quickly washed my face and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, my normally light brown hair was now dark and wet and my eyes were amber coloured with a dark ring outside of the amber colour, I wasn't beautifully perfect neither was I bad looking.
I walked out of the bathroom, got dressed in some clean clothes and went downstairs for breakfast.
The kitchen smelt like toast and bacon making me hungry... well okay hungrier as I went to sit down in one of the wicker chairs.
"Hello there then.", said my Mother happily, kissing me on the cheek, "I thought you wern't getting up."
Just then my Father walked into the room, "What you planning on doing today?", he asked cheerfully. Was everybody cheerful today or somthing?
I looked out of the window into our large garden that stretched out into the woods, the same woods where I got bitten. I sighed, not wanting to play back that memory ever again.
"I might go outside.", I said more happily then I expected I would have normally said it.
My Father beamed at me, "Glad to see you are happy today.", he walked over to the table and sat down, his dark hair falling into his eyes.
I took after my Mother obviously, I had light brown hair and neutral coloured skin just like her, but strangly everybody in our family had green eyes.
I ate my breakfast quickly, wanting to go outside and take a stroll around the woods or go to the pond.
I walked towards the back door as Sam came into the room looking around, " Hey Remus. You going outside?", he asked, " Wait I'll come with you, I could do with some fresh air anyway.", said Sam hopefully.
"Okay!", I repilied happily, I loved having company when I went outside.
I opened the back door, as the warm summer air hit my face.
"Nice day.", commented Sam.
"Yeah.", I replied, I walked down the stone path towards the woods as Sam followed me.
"Mum and Dad wanted to keep this a secret, so don't tell them I told you but...", said Sam anxiously.
"What?", I asked turning around to look at him, "What is it?", I asked again, my eyes wide.
"Erm... I don't know whether I should tell you.", he replied unhappily, as he looked at the damp grass.
"Please Sam, tell me, if it is about me then I do have the right to know.", I begged, making my eyes big and watery and only receiving a sypathisng look.
"Okay then, just don't look at me like that again, it makes me feel guilty.", he replied grinning and ruffling my hair... again.
I laughed and waited for him to tell me.
"Tommorow Dumbledore is coming to visit,". he said calmly. Why would Dumbledore, one of the greatest wizards of all time, want to visit our house? I wondered, out of all the houses inthe world why ours? Nothing much went on here did it? Questions wizzed through my mind as I walked up the garden path towards the forest.
"You okay Remus?", asked Sam with a concerned look about him.
"What is Dumbledore coming for?", I asked curiously.
"What do you think I am a mind reader?", he replied laughing slightly.
We both laughed for a while and ran into the woods, green took over everything and the sun made the trees glint as they waved in the warm summer breeze.
"Bet you can't catch me!", I laughed as Sam ran beside me.
"Bet I can!", he replied and attempted to dive on me.
Using my wolf reflexes, meaning I can sometimes run, jump, and climb faster than others, I jumped into the nearest tree, while he lay flat on his face on the ground.
"Told you!", I said laughing hysterically at his misfortune, I jumped down rather easily and helped him up.
Laughing helplessly, we walked to the pond where it gleamed in the sun. We took it in turns diving in until we got bored and decided to look for magical creatures in the woods.
"Do werewolves count?", asked Sam grinning.
"Ha ha.", I replied sarcastically,"that would be cheating."
"Look there is a bowtruckle!", exclaimed Sam quickly as a hint of brown ran past us.
We searched for hours and couldn't find anything interesting, plus it was getting pretty late we started to head home playing tag along the way, which of course I won (Sam called it cheating).
As soon as we got home we said good night to our parents and headed off to bed.
Lying in bed I thought about what Sam had said about Dumbledore.
What if he was lying? No, Sam would never lie to me, and I drifted off to sleep.
