Harry's POV

I awoke to the smell of cooking bacon slightly startled I got out of bed stretching my aching muscles. I vaguely remembered having a nightmare the night before and that someone had comforted me. I knew I was at Hogwarts so I didn't understand why anyone would comfort me. It was like I was there family or a clansmen. Still confused when I walked into the kitchen I didn't respond when Remus greeted me. After a moment he frowned but didn't say anything just went back to cooking.

He put a plate down that had bacon and eggs on it with a glass of a kind of juice I didn't recognize. I gave him a questioning glance and he replied with a small smile," It's pumpkin juice Harry. You might find that you like it." I nodded taking a sip and found he was right it was good.

I gave him a shy smile before digging into the food. When I was half way through an owl came in a bunch of folders tied to its leg. I sighed knowing exactly what they were even with Remus giving me confused looks. I mumbled," Its my squads reports." It took him a moment to understand but when he did I saw the recognition light up behind his eyes.

I untied the folders from the owls leg absentmindedly giving it a piece of bacon as I opened one of the folders. The one I pulled free had Night's sign which made me give a small smile. Out of all my squad mates he was the only one who could write a decent report. Looking through it there was nothing of importance to my disappointment. Sighing I signed off on his report before checking the others that had essentially said the same as the first. By the time I was finished eating I had signed off on all the reports and sent them back with the owl.

Remus asked quietly," Do you want to talk about last night?" I shook my head violently causing him to sigh. He said his voice soft and understanding," I won't force you to talk to me but you should talk to someone. It helps." I shook my head and said my eyes glazing over," No it doesn't help me. It never has."

He made a face as I grabbed my plate and heading to the sink to clean it when he grabbed my arm. That was a mistake. I twisted out of his grip grabbing his arm pulling him off balance as I tripped him. This ended up with him falling face and I twisted his arm behind him planting my knee in his back.

I growled angrily," Don't do that again Lupin. You don't know what I'm capable of." With that l let go of his arm and got up going to my room. I changed into a dress shirt and slacks with my sword belted onto my left hip. Before I left I unwillingly grabbed my wand from the nightstand. Before I left our quarters I said," I'm off to Fillus classroom for charms. After that I see McGonagall for transfiguration." Remus nodded and said," See you at lunch Harry."

I walked down the corridors until I reached his classroom. Fillus looked up from his small desk when I entered and grinned broadly. He said excitedly," Come in come in Mr. Potter. I hope you slept well." I paled considerably then tried to hide it but he said gently," Everyone has nightmares Mr. Potter its nothing to be ashamed of."

I said softly," That may be true for most people. These are normal nightmares." The small man looked up at me with a considering look before replying," Memories then. Still nothing to be ashamed of. If you ever need someone to listen my door is always open to you." I mumbled a quick thank you my face growing red with embarrassment.

He said drawing his wand holding it straight out in front of him in a firm but not a strangling grip," Let's get started Mr. Potter. Try to imitate the way I'm holding my wand." I drew my wand and held it like Fillus was doing. He came up closer to me me to inspect my posture then adjusted my arm slightly so that it was a little lower.

The little man said," Put it away and draw it again. I want that position to be muscle memory. It will make casting any magic much easier for you." I gave him a quick nod and did it again. This time he scrutinized my posture and said sternly," You need to relax. Being a soldier that will be hard for you but if you want your magic to follow properly then you must relax."

I let out a wolffish growl but did my best to comply. Out of all the professors this one didn't ask me to open up to him or try to talk me into doing anything he just wanted to teach me. I forced my muscle to relax slightly earning a small smile from the man. Fillus worked with me on positioning and stances before casting a charm called tempus. He said cheerfully at my confused look," That charm will tell you the time. After you mastered some of the basic spells I'll teach it to you." I gave him an eager nod before he sent me on my way to transfiguration.

It took me five minutes to find the right room but McGonagall was waiting for me. She smiled politely as she said," Welcome Mr. Potter I hope your time with Fillus was productive." I nodded and unconsciously a soft smile crossed my lips. I did like the man he was a good teacher patient but firm. She pulled her wand out causing me to take a defensive stance and to watch her warily. She said amusement clear in her voice," Mr. Potter I'm not going to attack you but I do need to show you the wand movements."

She did the movements and I watched in amazement as a match turned into a needle. I tried to mimic her movements but she shook her head and said," No try it like this Mr. Potter." She adjusted my movements gently noticing when I flinched when she came into my space. She put her hand on my shoulder and said gently," Neither I nor any of the professors will hurt you."

I shrugged off her hand silently trying the movements again. She adjusted my form and gave tips on my movements in a firm tone that had an underlying soft tone about it. When I began to practice on the match I couldn't get it to do anything. Sensing my frustration she placed a hand on my shoulder noting the hard flinch and said," It takes practice Mr. Potter. I don't expect you to be perfect just to try your best."

I gave her a curt nod before continuing to try. It took an hour to make any progress which was only to turn the match silver. She went to one of her bookcases and pulled out what looked like a beginners book before handing it to me. She said," Read the first chapter. It will help you if you don't understand something you can always come back here and ask. Or you can ask Remus."

I felt my cheeks flush slightly with embarrassment at the mention of Remus. I liked the man well enough I just wasn't sure if I trusted him or anyone else here for that matter. I said quietly," Thank you." With that I rushed out of the room and back to the quarters I shared with Remus. The first thing I noticed when I got my bearings was that it was unusually quiet. I looked around the quarters noting that Remus was gone.

Deciding to wait for him to come back before I did anything else I grabbed one of my notebooks and a pen so I could take notes on the book. It was almost lunchtime before Remus came back. If he was surprised to see me back so soon he didn't show it just gave me a small smile of approval looking at the book.

He asked his tone open and friendly," Anything you don't understand Harry?" I gave a slight shake of my head before turning back to my notes. He sighed softly before going into the kitchen to make lunch. Ten minutes later he came back with sandwiches and two glasses of pumpkin juice. I took one of the sandwiches absentmindedly while I looked over the next chapter in my book.

I was about to take a bite when Remus said," Both Minerva and Fillus said that you are doing well for only just starting to learn magic." I nodded cautiously trying to figure out what he wanted. He said a smile crossing his lips," No need to be so suspicious Harry."

I said annoyed at the man," It's kept me alive this long, sir. No reason to fix something that isn't broken." With that I picked up my book, and notes and went to my room.

Remus' POV

He watched as the boy left the room with a sad eyes. He had hoped Harry would open up to him or one of the other professors but instead he seemed to be more closed off. There was a knock on his door and he said," Enter."

Albus walked through and said," Good afternoon Remus. How are things with Harry today?" Remus said sighing slightly," He did well with Fillus and Minerva but last night he had a nightmare. It was so bad that his red aura activated," he rolled up the sleeves of his robes showing Albus the burns.

Albus asked," Has he said anything about them?" Remus shook his head and said," No I have offered to listen but he won't tell me anything. I fear for anyone that has to share a dorm with him in the school year. He could kill or seriously injure a student."

Albus frowned at the thought and asked," Would you be against him staying in your quarters then? Even during the school year?" Remus said rubbing a hand over his face," Albus it's not that I'm against it but it would look like favoritism to the other students."

They both looked up as the black haired boy they were speaking about stormed past them. The boy said his anger radiating off him," Don't talk about me like I'm not here. That makes you no better than Jin." Before Remus could respond or even ask who in merlin's name Jin was the boy rushed out.

Remus said with a groan," I better go after him. The last time I let him storm out he attacked Minerva." Albus let out an uncharacteristic snort and Remus responded with a serious look," He won. She could use that arm properly for two hours afterwards."

Albus' look of shock was gratifying for a moment then the old man said," Have fun trying to talk him down Remus. I would not want to be doing that." Remus stuck his tongue out childishly before leaving his quarters. He searched all of their floor before going down to the great hall hoping the boy was there. After an unsuccessful search there he thought,: If I knew you were going to be like this Harry I would have searched harder for the Marauders map.:

Harry's POV

As soon as I left Remus' quarters I shifted and ran down the hall in my wolf form. My first thoughts were I had to get out of the castle immediately. I felt like a fool for trusting Remus even though it was only a tiny bit. It didn't take long before I found myself outside the forbidden forest. With a last look over my shoulder I went in.

A/N don't kill me this is the best I could do for this update I pinched a nerve in my shoulder should be fine in a few days. Will update again soon as I am healed.
