Quizzes: Remus and the Beaver

He hated the days after his transformations almost as much as them. He was always left feeling weak and helpless and hardly able to lift a quill let alone write anything. So not only was he behind on school work, but he couldn't even catch up until a few days later. And this was something that really irritated Remus John Lupin, Hogwarts resident werewolf.

He liked to work, and he loved to learn! He wanted to know everything he could about the magical world and about the life he almost missed out on. After all, who could blame him for his greed for knowledge?


Just imagine, you know you're a wizard and you're about to turn 11. But unlike most children in the wizarding world you are not waiting in anticipation for that thick yellowy envelope to appear telling you that you are to be whisked off to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

No, instead you are alone in your room praying that the next transformation will be less painful than the last, but you know that isn't true. You are wishing and praying for a saviour to come and take away your curse, but again you know it's impossible. You know what your life shall entail even from such a young age; shunted from society, looked down upon and sneered at by people who walk by, jobless and unable to support yourself let alone those you care for most.

And then it happens, something even you have never dreamed of. The Headmaster of Hogwarts has offered you, a werewolf a place at his school, a chance to learn all thing things you thought would never be in your grasp.

So naturally when you get to the school you are going to absorb as much knowledge as possible, after all you never know when this dream is going to turn into a nightmare.


At the moment, the young werewolf was sitting in a bed in the Hospital Wing, curtains drawn around to shield him from the view of other students. After all, they all think Remus is off visiting his sick mother.

Being able to write a little without his hand shaking too much Remus had decided to fill in a quiz of a magazine that James and Sirius had given him to keep himself busy between visits.

He had to admit that he was very intrigued by the quiz, after all he would consider himself a wolf not a… BEAVER?!

You are the Beaver: Beavers are the workaholics of the animal world. They are organized and structured animals and are an eager lover; its relationships seem to survive the most difficult challenges.

While others play, you are usually working hard. You keep fit due to your busy schedules and are a patient listener although you rarely follow advice. While you might confide in a close friend about personal issues, they usually choose to internalize their feelings instead.

Okay, so maybe he was a beaver… but honestly. Couldn't his animal have been a bit more… ferocious and less bucked toothed?

Remus raised his hand to his mouth quickly and ran his finger across his teeth. Nope they were perfectly sized and not in the least bit bucked… but with Sirius and James as friends you can never tell what will happen to your appearance over night. He sighed and dropped his hand just in time to hear some rather familiar voices.

"And what may I ask are you three doing in here?" Madam Pomfrey sternly

"Erm…" Peter began not sure what to say.

"James got a bump on the head Poppy." Sirius said in his suave voice (and knowing Padfoot a flick of the hair too, Remus thought with a grin).

"No I didn- OW!" James screeched as Remus cringed at the sound of hand on head. Sirius, at a rough guess had just slapped James around the head.

Madam Pomfrey sighed, now she got it. "Well then Mr. Potter if you would wait behind the drawn curtain please."

"Yes ma'am." James said. Soon the sound of scuffling feet drew nearer and eventually three grinning faces appeared around the curtain, well two, James was scowling and massaging the back of his head. "You know you didn't have to hit me so hard Pads." James muttered as he took his place on the end of Remus' bed.

"Sorry mate." Sirius laughed as he sat on the side of Remus' bed and Peter took the chair.

"Hey Moony." He piped up, "Feeling better?"

"Yeah loads thanks. Although I am shocked to discover I am a beaver."

"A what?" James asked slightly shocked.

"Yeah a beaver. You know, those little bucked toothed critters that knaw at trees."

"But you're not a beaver… you're a…. werewolf." James replied whispering the last word his eyes darting back and forth as if in search of someone who was peeping on them.

"Really?" Remus asked rolling his eyes sarcastically. "I never knew that. But seriously, I am a beaver."

"But you can't be!" James insisted at which point Remus showed him the magazine. "Oh… that…" he grinned sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment.

"Oh I did that one!" Peter chipped in. "I was a Mole."

"A mole?" Sirius asked. "Why are you are Mole?"

"I don't know. It didn't make much sense to me."

"Figures." James muttered.

"Well I am the wolf!" Sirius grinned, puffing out his chest. "Apparently I am 'athletic, good-looking and brims with self-confidence. A close relative of the domestic dog, it is stronger and more aggressive.' Cool huh?"

"Very." Remus nodded, slightly jealous that he hadn't got that animal. "What about you Prongs?"

"Wolf." James grinned.

"High five!" Sirius grinned raising his hand. James followed suit and they slapped their palm together. "Oh yeah! We rule!"

"Ka-pow!" James said punching the air.

Remus rolled his eyes. "You do know wolves eat deer don't you Prongs?"

"They do?"

"Yeah, so basically you want eat yourself."

James tilted his head in thought.

"Let's hope Evans is a wolf too then!"

"Ugh! James!" Sirius, Remus and Peter all chorused together in slight disgust.
