Hey, I definitely do NOT own this Harry potter stuff. It's J.K.'s genius.

Legend of Lupin

Alec Lupin strode up the sidewalk in London toward a broken down shop. On the boarded up window a notice stated 'Closed for refurbishment'. A very ugly manikin stood behind the grimy, dirt speckled windows. With its eye hanging out and a moldy dress in rags, Alec definitely would never be moved to buy anything from this place. But none of that mattered. His lost thoughts spun back to place and Mr. Lupin walked up to the manikin and spoke very clearly.

"I'm here to see my wife, Lucilla Lupin."

If anyone had seen him they definitely would think him mad, unless they were a wizard, and Mr. Lupin just happened to be one. Alec stepped through the hideous glass and a lobby appeared before his. At the end of the room a Welcome Witch sat at a desk. Next to her was a shiny brass plate that read 'Saint Mungo's Hospital For Magical Maladies and Injuries'.

"Spell damage 3rd Floor." She spoke in a bored voice, her dull red ringlets falling about her face.

The Wizard to whom she was speaking headed off toward a marble staircase. Alec noticed a very funny pair off ears and an extremely fuzzy tail before he slipped from view. The Welcome Witch coughed loudly in his direction. The sandy haired Alec Lupin hurried forward.

"Um yes, I need to see my wife, Lucilla Lupin. She's giving birth so if you--" He was cut off by Henrietta's dull voice.

"Ward 12,Fourth floor to your left." Alec mumbled his thanks and hurried off in the direction the witch had pointed him. As he stumbled up the steps he couldn't help but to think I am going to be a father. I will have a child. Was it a boy or a girl? Was he going to fail horribly as a father? A little bit of him wanted to scream Yes! But he contained himself. He, Alec Lupin would strive to be the father possible.

Alec stopped. He suddenly realized that in his pondering he had passed the ward and was already at 16. He turned on the spot and found himself face to face with a grim, gruff looking man.

"Hello Alec."

"Er... What a surprise...Frenir."

Frenir Grayback stood about 6 inches taller than Alec. His mouth spread into a wide smirk showing several yellowed teeth. Why couldn't he just stand aside and bother me later? Thought Alec irritably.

"My, my Alec you do look worn. Here on business?"

" You don't look exactly perky either. He answered shortly, eyeing Frenir's tattered, too small robes and his tired expression.

"Oh, I get by. So I hear you have yourself a mudblood child. Did you have to sell your house to afford it?"

"My family is no concern of yours Grayback", his eyes hardened, "But I do have somewhere to be if you don't mind" Alec made as if to pass but Frenir moved in front of him.

"Not so fast Lupin, I'm not finished with you"

"Oh?" Alec saw him fingering his wand and quickly produced his own. Frenir's smirk increased.

"Now, now, Alec you wouldn't want to get carted off to Azkaban and leave your filthy family to die. I thought you loved them more." Alec's palms began to sweat as he thought of his reason to be here in the first place. His wand dropped. Frenir's smirk (if it was possible) changed into a grin.

"Much better. Since you seem to be in such a foul mood I doubt I would get in further in talking without getting cursed. So therefore I have only three words for you. Good day Lupin." He turned and walked the other direction. Alec breathed freely again and then sprinted down the hall. He skidded to a halt just before ramming into the door and thrust it open.

Lucilla Lupin sat in a bed at the end of the ward holding a small bundle. Her eyes shifted to where Alec was standing and her face clouded over immediately.

"Alec! What's wrong?" He noticed what she was looking at and suddenly realized his wand was still clutched in his fist. Alec hastily pocketed it.

"Oh nothing dear. Just met an old friend...Well? Where's our child? Is it a boy? No A Girl then?"

"Alec calm down! I knew you would do this." She breathed heavily. For the first time Alec realized how exhausted she looked.

"I'm... I mean...Oh. Sorry" Lucilla smiled at her ashamed husband. Men.

"It's a boy Alec! A son!"

'What? Oh wonderful Lucilla! I hope it went well."

"Perfectly fine." A healer wearing white robes made a move for the first time. He walked up to Lucilla.

"Well of course it did." Alec rambled on nervously. "But he will need a name of course."

"I've already thought of one. Remus J. Lupin."

"Well Remus is fine. Unique, always liked it. Did you know that the old seeker for the Chudley Cannons was named Remus?" Lucilla gave him a reprimanding look and he hastily changed the topic.

"What's the J.? John perhaps?"

"If you think so. I don't really care for middle names that's why I just put in a J."

All of a sudden Remus J. started crying. He screamed and drooled. The two parents found it useless to try and talk so Alec sat himself in a rather uncomfortable chair while Lucilla attempted to calm the angry baby. The healer whipped around the ward putting silencing charms on several other children in the ward. Alec suddenly felt sleep take him and started dreaming of his perfect son becoming Minister of Magic.
