Chapter 1: Teddy
I wish I was normal.
It doesn't seem like a lot to ask, does it? But, for so many reasons, I can never be normal.
I am a wizard. You can't be normal when explosions and funny things happen just because you're angry. But there's plenty of my kind here, in this very Hall. Even amongst them, I am not considered normal.
I am a Metamorphmagus. You can't be normal when your hair changes with your mood, or when you have different eyebrows just because you feel like it. But this is the one thing about myself that I actually like, even if it does attract a few stares here and there. It means I can hide my face if I want to. Because –
My face, when I am au naturale, is the spitting image of Remus Lupin. Everybody knows who I am. Everybody knew him. My father and middle-namesake, the war hero. Everybody always tells me how great he was, how brave he was. How he died so that I can have a better future. I wonder what he would say if he could hear them now.
And as I wait patiently for the Professor to call my name, I'm sure that he didn't think he was normal either.
A/N: Yes, I know it's short, that's how I like my chapters. I will likely update a couple of chapters at a time, otherwise it's a bit pointless. And the chapters will lengthen as the story progresses, it's just that the opening of the story is more effective short.
This is my first fic, so please be nice and give it a chance. Please review, I want to know what people think.
