I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER OR THE MARAUDERS IN ANY WAY TYPE OR FORM!

It was the day before his seventh birthday and his daddy had promised to take him to the park of a nearby town. Of course Remus was excited, him and his family have recently moved into their new house. Their new home had three bedrooms and a wine cellar in the basement, his daddy had cleared out everything in the wine cellar and reinforced the walls with a bunch of charms and a silencing spell that he refused to tell Remus. His parents had said that it was for the best, this was the eighth time they moved in the past three years and each time was because of him.
So making friends, being able to call a place home without having it ripped from you wasn't exactly possible for Remus then.

But Remus wasn't going to let any of that get to him today, he was finally going to be able to go outside where there's other people! Maybe he'll even be able to make a friend! His daddy and his mommy both said that they wished he could make more friends but he didn't understand how they wanted him to do that when he was homeschooled and they never let him leave the house. And they told him not to speak to anyone! Remus knew that everything they did they did it to protect him but that doesn't mean he has to like it or that he doesn't see the look of fear they sometimes get in their eyes when they look at him and especially on the night of the full moon or a few days before, he knows that sometimes when the full moon is near he gets more irritable and dangerous. He remembers the one time his father had tried waking him up just the day before the full moon he ended up hurting his father by accident and he'll forever be reminded of that day by the scar going down his daddy's forearm.

They may not have ever said so, but Remus knew they were scared of him.

Especially since his daddy's been keeping mommy away from him the week of a full moon.

"Remus?" His daddy, Lyall Lupin said quietly knocking on his bedroom door as he slowly opened it.

"I'm ready daddy!" Remus instantly cheered up, jumping off The edge of his bed and running up to his daddy.

"Remus..." Lyall sighed, as he bent down to be at eye level with his son, "Remus, I'm sorry but I know I promised to take you to the park but I don't think I can...I need to get to work, they called me in just a few minutes ago."

"...Oh..." Remus smile dropped,"T-tha...that's all right daddy and have fun at work!"

Remus hugged his father and smiled at him even though they both knew that the smile was forced.

"Remus...just...You know your mother is at work so that means you're going to be home alone I'm counting on you to behave and don't leave the house. We'll both be back home later tonight, your mother has some leftovers from yesterday in the fridge just put them in the microwave if you get hungry." Lyall stood up, "I love you."

"Love you too."

With a loud pop! His daddy was gone, leaving 6-almost 7 year old Remus alone.

He knew that his parents would be angry with him if he left the house, but he also knew that they wouldn't be home for hours and his birthday was tomorrow so they couldn't get that mad at him. With that thought in his head, little Remus threw on a light brown hoodie and took off running down his dirt driveway knowing that it would lead him into town.

Again I don't own the Marauders, but feel free to leave a review and let me know what you think!
