Harry sat alone in a compartment on the Hogwarts Express. Hermione and Ron were up front in the prefect's car. Other students had passed by and said hi but none stayed for long. He was just about ready to lie down and take a nap when a loud thud was heard outside his door. Harry peered outside to see a girl no older then him with red and purple locks picking up her luggage. She spotted Harry and quickly made her way into the next compartment. Harry didn't give it much thought and went back his seat. He didn't notice a teacher in shabby robes walk into the next room as well. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Renee there you are I've been looking all over this train for you."
Said the man kindly.

"I'm sorry Uncle Remus, I didn't mean too." Renee said.

"Don't worry about it I felt the same way you do when I first came to Hogwarts."

"I know about how it was for you, but you didn't have to go to another country for your schooling."

Renee was talking about how Lupin was the first werewolf allowed to attend a wizarding school. Renee had just transferred over from America since Werewolves were yet to be included in the constitution of witches. For the past six years her mother a witch had been teaching her magic. Once the government had found out they told her if she didn't get a diploma she would be imprisoned in a jail for 'her kind' as they put it, and since they wouldn't let her go to their schools her mother was able to make a deal to a foreign school.

"Well don't worry if you need some one to talk to you know you can always come to me."

"I know," Renee smirked, "you know sometimes I wonder if our family is cursed."

Lupin wanted to say 'a curse is in the eye of the beholder', but he couldn't think of anything to back it up with. So he decided to take a nap. Leaving Renee to ponder over the events that lead her to this destination. Life turned upside down, at age 15, in only one night going from a normal teen to rabid dog, as she put it.

Uncle Remus, well cousin actually just because of the age difference, had said that most of the students knew him to be a werewolf. Renee had come up with a way for it to look like she only went to Hogwarts part time. Either leaving or coming a few days during a full moon and maybe a day in between.

The train slowly lulled Renee into a deep sleep. Dreaming of a new adventure.
