"Hey Uncle Vernon can you sign this," Harry asked calmly. He hoped he could get his Uncle to sign this permission slip to go to the local village by Hogwarts really bad. He was sure if he couldn't get him to sign it he'd be the only 3rd year that couldn't go.
"What is it Boy," Uncle Vernon growled.
Harry said in the calmest voice he could," Well it's just something for my school."
"Behave while Aunt Marge is here and I'll sign your bloody paper," he said.
With this Harry simply nodded and went back upstairs to his room. If this didn't go well he'd have to deal with long days alone while his friends were away.
"Well maybe Ginny will want to hang out, she's only in her second year so she wouldn't be able to go anyway," he thought. These past few weeks him and Ginny have spoken a lot via owl post he loved getting her letters. Before the train arrived at Kings Cross Station in London he asked her to write to him over the summer since he was there in the chamber and has experience with Voldemort as well. She did write to him it took a week and Harry had to get Ron to talk to her for him but she eventually sent him a letter and they've been talking ever since whether it was about her horrific first year or what was happening where Harry was or where she was. The pair became quite close through the summer and he would be glad to be able to spend time with her if he couldn't go to the village with Hermione and Ron.

The time when Aunt Marge was there was extremely long and nearly unbearable. With the only motivation not to go crazy being his permission slip he might not have made it the far. He now only had to make it through this last night and he'd get his permission slip signed. Well with a temper like his and the fact that Aunt Marge couldn't keep her fat mouth shut about his parents he couldn't possibly make it through dinner.
Harrys temper was rising after her last comment about his father being a unemployed drunk he couldn't stand it anymore. He yelled at her," MY FATHER WAS NOT A DRUNK!" With this she turned and started to say something that got cut off when she everyone noticed she started to expand. This scene was unbelievable she was blowing up like she was full of helium as she started to float towards the ceiling her chair broke and she started floating back out the open screen door. Everything was a mess at this point his Uncle was trying to get his sister down while his aunt was screaming and Dudley was eating.
At this moment Harry ran upstairs to his room packed his trunk and with Hedwig in her cage he descended the stairs and was stopped at the last step.
"PUT HER BACK, PUT HER BACK RIGHT THIS INSTANCE," his Uncle yelled his face a nice shade of purple.
"NO SHE DESERVED WHAT SHE GOT. NOW GET OUT OF MY WAY," Harry yelled as he pulled out his wand and stuck it in his face, effectively getting his Uncle to move away so he could get put the door.
Uncle Vernon said as harry was leaving," Ha, you have no where else to go boy."
Harry simply reposted clearly aggrivated," Well anywhere is better than here." With that Harry stormed out of the house and down the street walking where ever his feet were taking him. After a while he sat down on the curb. When he looked up he saw two large animals one looked like a very dirty, unclean, black dog while the other he couldn't believe it. A werewolf he couldn't help but think 'why now' as this happened the large animal bounded towards him he got up and ran as fast as he could but it wasn't good enough. Moments after he started running he felt it right across his back it's sharp claws tearing into him next he felt the teeth deep inside his shoulder. Then as fast as it started it was over the large black dog was lunging towards the werewolf protecting Harry after he saw this he was out cold.

When he woke up he was in a familiar place it was the Hospital wing at Hogwarts. He couldn't remember what happened or how he got to where he was. Minutes later Madam Pomfrey and a man dressed in old worn out clothing he didn't recognize came walking in along with Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall.
Before he could ask what happened Madam Pomfrey was checking his injuries and shoving potions down his throat. As the last potion went down the man he didn't know began to speak and said,"Hello harry, my name is Remus Lupin I was once a friend of your parents and will be your upcoming Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. I know this may come to you as a shock in case you don't remember a few days ago you were attacked by a werewolf near your home. With this attack the werewolf transmitted the disease lycanthropy to you. This means you are now a werewolf but there is no reason to be afraid for Professor Snape will make you and I the wolfbane potion each month for us to take everyday before the full moon. In case you didn't pick up on that, yes, I am a werewolf and have been since I was young. That is all I can say as of now I must go but we will talk soon. For now goodbye Harry it was nice to meet you after all these years." And with that he was gone.
Madam Pomfrey cleared him to go and now the other two professors in the room were talking to him. Dumbledore in his calm voice asked harry," now that you are clear and safe I have had the minister to not hold you to your actions as they were accidental, but I must ask you where will you go for the rest of the break as they do not want yiu back until next summer."
Harry said in turn,"I was planning on going to Diagon Alley and to stay at the Leaky Cauldron when i left and id like to go there now if I'm allowed to sir. Though before school I'm sure there would be another full moon so I could just stay unless there's a way to come back the week of the full moon like Professor Lupin said I'd need to."
Here Professor McGonagall spoke and said," Well Mr.Potter if you wish to go to the Leaky Cauldron you may and I or Professor Lupin will come pick you up the week of the full moon so you may take your potion everyday and spend the full moon with him. So if that's what you'd like I can set up the floo in my office and have it connected to the Diagon Alley for you."
Harry took a minute to think about this before standing up and saying," Thank you Professor. I'd like that that way I'll be able to purchase my books and new clothes as well. Then when Ron, Hermione, and Ginny come I can talk to them about my new condition. Well if I'm allowed to talk about it."
This is when Professor Dumbledore spoke up again and as calm about outs ever he said," As long as you trust them not to tell anyone else I do believe it's wise to tell your friends Harry."
"Okay thank you sir. I'll see you again soon then, may we leave now," he asked quite cautiously.
"As long as you're ready I can take you to my office now with your stuff," Professor McGonagall said softly.
All Harry did was nod and follow her out of the hospital wing and to her office before he knew it he was in the Leaky Cauldron and had a room booked for the rest of the summer. Throughout the next few days he went shopping and got all his books, quills and the rest of supplies he needed for the upcoming school year. He even went out to muggle London and bought himself new clothes and cologne. The week he had to return to Hogwarts came fast and was fortunately two weeks before he expected the Weasleys and hermione to show up so he'll have time to rest and plan out how to tell his friends about what happend.
The next morning Remus showed up and gave Harry a goblet full of this disgusting tasting potion and brought him to Hogwarts for the week. As the week moved on he learned a lot about his parents and Remus himself. Remus told him stories about the Marauders and how is mother Lily fit into everything, he told Harry about how his first word was 'Moony', and how he acted as a child. This was the first time Harry truly felt like he knew his parents, harry believed that meeting Remus was the best thing that has happend to him. Before he realized it he was telling Remus about how scared he was about his first transformation and his past adventures and the abuse and the Dursleys which he made him swear not to tell anyone about he admitted that he had feelings that he didn't understand about a petite redhead he has only known for a few months.
The night of the full moon he and Remus walked to the edge of the forbidden forest to transform there Remus said to Harry," Since you're having your first transformation I will warn you once again that this will be the most painful thing you've ever experienced. Now it will get easier as time goes on but it is still always painful but with the wolfsbane potion you will at least still have your human mind when transformed."
Harry nodded his face slightly paled and clearly scared about what will be happening at any moment. After a few moments he felt a change. His legs were stretching along with his feet and toes his arms were lengthening and his head was changing from a humans to one of slightly modified wolf. The pain he was experiencing as he transformed was unbearable when it was all over her was panting heavily. Then he looked at the monster the replaced Remus and howled he clearly understood since when Harry began to run Remus was right beside him. A few hundred yards into the forest they ran into an opening that had a creek run through it there they stopped and together they howled towards the moon. By time they left the forest the fill moon had past and they were back to normal and they were both exhausted.
By time they walked into the castle it was already 8:30 and they went directly to the hospital wing and passed out in beds side-by-side of each other. When Harry finally woke it was already well into the night it was past midnight by the looks of it. Remus was up already and was eating a chocolate frog when he noticed harry was up and gave him a bag of chocolate for himself. When he fell asleep again more than half the bag was gone and Remus was already asleep again looking tired and battered from the previous nights adventures.
The next day as Remus and him were walking to the gates he saw a hooded creature it stared at him as he walked then it came closer and it became cold he heard someone screaming a woman. He saw Remus cast a spell as he collapsed to the ground a few minutes later he was back in the hospital wing and was given more chocolate. He asked Remus about what happened and he explained the event that took place and what a dementor did and why it was there. A few hours later he was stepping through the floo to the Leaky Cauldron. He walked to Flurish and Blotts and looked for a book on dementors to see if he could find a way to defend himself. Moments later he was leaving the shop with three books in his bag he was heading back and he thought he could read through the books before taking a well deserved nap.
