Hi, hope you all like this. This is also for ' The Lupin Challenge.
I got 'Remus Lupin makes an unexpected ally in the unlikeliest of places'. I hope I used the prompt well.
Prompt: 'Werewolf'
Eleven year old Remus looks at the scene unfolding in front of him. He looks at a little girl who is behind her father's back, peering around to see her surroundings. Her dark chocolate brown eyes seem to study his soul. Her raven black hair behind her put in a small braid. As her father stands there the girl seems to have picked him to study. Remus then decides to walk over to the girl and hold out his hand to her.
I look at this sandy haired boy and he's looking back at me. Behind my father I'm safe from his piercing eyes of brown. I wonder why it seems like I know him. Then he walks up to me and holds out my hand for, me.
The girl takes it tentatively and for a moment the two look into each other's eyes. Her father then looks at Remus.
Her father then grunts before leaving "Take care of my Lia, for me."
Remus nods and walks onto the Hogwarts Express with the girl following behind him. When the two depart he feels slightly lonely without her.
Sometime later the girl comes back. She is flanked by Lucius Malfoy and another Slytherin student. When they see she is safe, the two leave.
"Why were those two with you," asks James.
"My father asked them to tend to my needs, whatever they were," explained the girl, her voice as smooth as silk.
"So what's your name?" Remus asks.
"Kahlia Greyback," answers the girl, her voice barely a whisper.
They all go quiet as they process her name. Many years later Remus Lupin was in werewolf territory trying to find people to side with the good side. As he walks around the camp he comes across a familiar person. She had that similar look in her eyes as she looked at a cauldron in front of her. It was a studying look. It was an intense look that made people cringe under her gaze.
"Are you Miss Greyback?" Remus asks.
"Why you ask," says the woman not looking up from the cauldron she is studying.
"Well I wanted to know because it's been a long time since I seen Miss Greyback," Remus replied, quietly.
"Yes it has been a long time since you seen Miss Greyback hasn't it," said the woman, lifting her head to look at Remus. The woman's once smooth face is damaged with small scars on her face.
"Are you Miss Greyback, if not I will leave your presence," says Remus, slowing walking backwards.
"Stop," says Miss Greyback. At that moment Remus stops walking. "I am Miss Greyback; though you know my name I don't remember yours."
"Remus Lupin," Remus says.
"Remus," says Miss Greyback, her voice raising an octave. She then walks over to where he is standing and studies him. While she is studying him, he doesn't flinch. "You are Remus then," she says with a wide grin on her face.
Remus nods and smiles as she gives him a hug.
"I'm glad I get to see you again, Remus," says Kahlia, backing away from him. "What brings you among us?"
"I was sent on a mission," he says plainly.
"Oh a special mission, that sounds dangerous," she says sitting back down.
"Yes, a very dangerous mission considering who I'm talking to," Remus says, smiling.
Kahlia rolls her eyes, "Just because my father is a Death Eater doesn't mean I am."
Sometime later Remus is being advanced on by more aggressive werewolves. It isn't till Kahlia walks over to where this is happening that she is determined to stay with him.
"Stop bothering him, he's with me," said Kahlia at the top of her lungs.
The werewolves look at her then disperse. Remus then stumbles back to his feet and thanks her for what she done.
Hope you all liked it.
