A/N: I don't own Harry Potter. That all belongs to J.K. Rowling. I hope you enjoy! Please Review!


Chapter 1: The Stone

The castle of Hogwarts shone in the moonlight. There were still a few lights shining inside the castle. It was the night before Christmas Break and students were staying up all night to pack and celebrate the end of term. It was a full moon and Teddy Lupin was spending the night in the Forbidden Forest.

He couldn't explain his fascination with outdoors during this phase of the moon. He suspected it had something to do with his father being a werewolf. Teddy hadn't inherited that from his father, thankfully, but he couldn't imagine life without being outside during a full moon. Headmaster McGonagall had discovered his little secret a few months earlier, but she had known his father and she let it slide.

Teddy was in his 5th year at Hogwarts. Everyone was worried about their O.W.L.'s but all Teddy could think of was his past. He wished he had known his parents. He had no memories of them, and he desperately wished that he did.

He was almost out of view of the castle, and he stopped for a second and looked at the castle. It still looked beautiful and amazing. Then, he turned and walked further in.

"Lumos," he said and his wand lit up.

He watched where he walked for a moment and as he did, he noticed a small stone. It was slightly obscured by a patch of grass, but it was definitely there. It was a small black stone, shiny and new.

The Resurrection Stone.
