This is a little something I been thinking for a while. Enjoy.

Harry Potter and the band are not mine, sadly

The little werewolf

"Albus, in all my years spent next to you, teaching with you, I have only seen genius where others saw stupidity. Until now.

"Well, Miranda, that's a very nice way to call me stupid. Admirable.

Albus Dumbledore was rearranging his belongings in his new office, the Hogwarts' headmaster office. He looked especially amused by the comments of his recently named deputy headmaster Miranda McGonagall. "Do you think Fawkes will be comfortable in here or should I place him near the window, dear Miranda?"

"Do not change the subject Albus. Honestly, what are you thinking? I am beginning to think that the minister is right, that you will be the end of Hogwarts.

"Please Miranda; don't be so hard on me. I want to give the boy a chance. Actually, your words are a little disappointing; I thought you agreed with me in the fact that Hogwarts had been too selective in the last centuries. It's time for a change. After all, that's the reason I wanted to be headmaster in the first place.

"Yes, but, why a werewolf? Why not a half veela, or a half elf, or another Hagrid, or something else?

"Someone else, Miranda. And why not a werewolf. Hagrid knows the boy and for what he told me he is perfect for Hogwarts. I also met the boy's father once, and he seemed like the kind of man who won't take a no for an answer. And about his condition, there won't be any danger, I promise.

"You can not make that promise, Albus; what if something goes wrong? What if he hurts someone? And he could die, too, you know.

"Miranda, my decision is already made. I want to give him an opportunity. Do you know werewolves suffer great discrimination in our society, that they don't have the right to study, to work, or even to have properties?

"I already know that, but how do you think that accepting one werewolf into Hogwarts will improve the living conditions of the rest? You can force the boy to be your little experiment in front of the world. In fact, you can not force him into telling nobody about his condition? If he prefers to keep it private, you have to respect that.

"I know that. In fact, I will recommend him to be secretive about it for awhile. And even then, I don't think he will be come out. You know, werewolves are incredible distrustful people. And I wouldn't use a child to my own purpose.

"But you can not allow more werewolves in Hogwarts; this is your only chance. And I still thing there is something more, something you are not willing to tell me.

"Calm down, Miranda". Dumbledore noted, with great distress, that Miranda McGonagall was actually hurt and worried about him. "All right, if you want to know, there is something more about it that the eye met. Something is coming Miranda, something dark, and I must take measures before is too late. And allowing a werewolf in Hogwarts, where I can teach him, is an important part of my plans. I can not tell you more than this.

"But why did you choose this child in particular? You have never met him.

"For I have been told, this one is special. You know, I've doing my homework. I need a child who was bitten at an age old enough to remember his attack and young enough that he can barely remember his life as a normal boy. I also need him to be powerfully magic, for in some children the bite weakens the magic within then. This one, on the contrary, has become more powerful since he was bitten, or so I've been told. Al least, I need him strong enough to stand the pain, brave enough to leave his lonely life behind and enter into the wolves cave, so to speak, and smart enough to understand the dangers and embrace then nevertheless. And he has it all, I can tell: he's the one.

"You seem rather confident about him.

"You'll see. Hagrid is not my only source of information. I have been listening around, and he's special. In fact, I want you here when he comes to his interview.

"Interview?

"Yes. I want to meet him and explain the conditions in which he'll be living the next few years. And you should be present; if he anything like I expect he'll probably be in Gryffindor.

"Anything you say, Albus" said McGonagall with tired voice. "And when should be expecting him?

"Well, if my clock is working, he should be at the door in five minutes.

"Already? Should I lead the way?

"Do not worry, Miranda; I told Hagrid to bring the boy and his parents to my office. Oh, listen". Hagrid's voice was happily mumbling near while climbing the stairs. "That must be them.

"I'll get the door. But wait, Albus. You still haven't told me the name of the boy.

"Remus Lupin. That the name of my little werewolf.

What do you think? Should I go on? Review.
