Maybe Not All is Lost
Remus' P.O.V
It was a normal day for me wake up, somehow find something to get out of bed for, drink two cups of coffee, go for a walk and wallow in self pity, come home and have something to eat yet again wallowing in self pity but my afternoon activity of crying over the losses I haven't gotten over yet was interrupted from a visitor, Albus Dumbledore, my old headmaster.
"Hello, Sir" I said with a croaky voice quickly wiping my eyes of tears
"Ah Remus, I thought you would be with your mother at St Mungos, so I went there first but they said you haven't been in for a couple of days, tell me what's wrong?" he said sitting in the arm chair across from me
"Nothing I just can't handle being in there with her now that I know the truth" I said fresh tears spilling out from my eyes
"The truth of what" Albus asked handing me a tissue
"That my father isn't my father and that I have a younger sister around the age of fifteen but she never replied to her letter from Hogwarts" I said
"Ah yes Katya, I was worried when I received no word from her, then Minerva went to see what was wrong and Linda Anderson told her that they don't want anything to do with our school, but I believe Katya knows nothing of Hogwarts or her heritage"
"So everyone knew except for me! I bet James, Peter Sirius and Lily knew as well!" I shouted banging my fists on the coffee table
"Remus rest assured no one else but your mother, Minerva and I know about Katya, but I am not here to talk about your sister, well actually I am, I'm here for two things, firstly I would like to offer you a job as Defence against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts"
"Sir I can't, you took a great risk letting me study at Hogwarts I don't want to test your luck by going there to teach" I said looking him in the eyes
"Remus, there is a potion that Severus can brew called wolfsbane potion, if you drink every day starting a week before the full moon you will keep you mind during the transformation and will be no more dangerous than a small puppy" the older man said smiling at me
"And why on earth would Snivellus be willing to help me?" I asked spitefully
"Because I asked him to, and he is not the boy he was at school he has matured as I hope you have too"
"I have but I still don't understand why you're offering the job to me surely there are far more qualified witches and wizards out there who would be happily take the job"
"I'm sure there are, and this brings me to my second reason, Katya needs t attended Hogwarts her guardian won't let her so she needs to live with someone who will as her own flesh and blood you have legal rights muggle and wizarding to take her into your custody" Albus said "which is why I am offering you the job so you can support the two of you"
"And if I don't want to?" I asked
"you are good man Remus which is why I don't believe for a second that you would let someone suffer family or not, and she is suffering, quite badly which is why we must intervene and take her away from where she is, you are the only one who can do that, so I will leave with the job offer and Katya's address, number six privet drive, good day" he said standing up and walking out of the door.
I have a sister, I could take her away from where she is apparently suffering and I could have a job doing what I've always wanted to do and would happily be doing if it wasn't for the face that I was a werewolf. I can't if I take the job I would be endangering the lives of children and if I don't take the job I can't support Katya, but the question is how is she suffering? Maybe I could go I guess I thought to myself.
By then I was already apperating to the end of privet drive. Three teenagers sitting on a round about at a park two of them saw more but by their reaction I guess they know about the wizarding world. The boy I swear he could be James, but he can't be and it would be pure luck if he was Harry and I don't have any luck so I doubt that it is.
Hope the it is starting to make sense now don't forget to review
