At the moment, All Remus Lupin could feel was heat, burning heat. The young boy with sandy brown hair and gray eyes lay on his stomach next to a fire that he parents had lit in their cabin style home, located on the outskirts of a small town, buried in trees and bushes, hidden completely from view. That was the way that the Lupin family liked it, they were away from all the noise and confusion of the big cities, which left them to focus on the more important things in life, like family and spending time together.
Remus's parents were scientists and at the moment they were busy working in they're lab that was located away from the house a little deeper into the woods. They had built it specially when they had moved into the house, now they didn't have to go into the city to do their work.
Remus concentrated on the pages in front of him, he had been reading the same story for the past hour and was almost near the end. It was a story about Knights and Kings, sword fights and sorcery, and magic and mystery. He had found it in his parents' bookcase and had been waiting for the perfect time to sit down and enjoy it.
Suddenly without warning a snowy white owl swooped into the cabin and dropped a thick envelope right between the pages of his book. Remus smiled, he knew what was in this envelope. He had been waiting for it for weeks, ever since he had turned eleven, and his parents had told him all about the world that was waiting for him out there.
He wasted no time in ripping the envelope open to get to the letters inside. He found no surprise in the words he read but he couldn't stop the overwhelming feelings of excitement that he started to feel.
[I] Dear Mr. Lupin, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. [/I]
Remus jumped up from the floor and untangled himself from the covers that were around him. He slipped on his shoes and ran out the back door.
It was getting late, and the moon was coming out as Remus walked towards his parents' laboratory to share the great news with them. He walked slowly so he didn't get lost but his pace quickened as it started getting darker and he started to hear the sounds of the animals that were beginning to come out into the night.
Remus could see the bright lights of the lab and he felt relief sweep through him. Remus had always been a little scared of the dark, and being out in the middle of a forest while wild animals were roaming around didn't help to stop his fear.
He stepped closer to the lab with each quick step he took, and each time he got closer his fears were calmed just the tiniest bit.
Suddenly fear shot through his veins, he stopped in his tracks and looked sharply in every direction, frightened by the loud howl from what he suspected was a werewolf. The lab was only a few feet away, if he could just get to it he would be safe. There was a rustling in the bushes on his left that made him jump, for that split second the only word circling through Remus's brain was "RUN."
As the rustling got closer Remus had to force himself to move, he started sprinting towards the lab door, reaching it just seconds before he heard something large start running down the path he had.
He grabbed the lab door's handle and tried to pull the door open, but his parents had locked it, and Remus found himself trapped outside safety's reach with a monster just a few feet away.
The only choice Remus had was to start pounding on the door. He banged his fists furiously against the steel door, feeling it cut at his skin. Fear was overcoming him and he called out for his parents, hoping desperately that they would hear him.
A loud snarling came from behind him and Remus slowly forced himself to turn around and face the inevitable. Remus now faced one of the most fear creatures known to man, it was a young werewolf, luckily it wasn't full- grown. Its black eyes were staring pointedly at Remus's face. There was a hungry look lurking behind the darkness he met in the creatures stare that made Remus take a step backwards until his back hit the cold metal of the door and he realized that he had no where to go.
The beast took a step closer, its jaws opened, baring its long razor sharp teeth. Remus tried not to move, silently praying that the wolf would turn and walk away, but deep down knowing that it wouldn't.
Remus shut his eyes tightly; his left hand pounding quietly on the door behind him, as he waited for what he was sure would come.
It happened very fast, Remus felt a sharp pain in his right leg and couldn't hold back the ear- piercing scream that tore from his lips. His eyes rolled back in his head as the pain in his leg became so overwhelming that he blacked out. The last thing he remembered was hearing the voice of his father shouting, "Expelliarmus!"
***
Remus rubbed his eyes as he awoke, his eyes looking around the white room he was in. The blurring of Remus's eyesight slowly cleared and everything came into focus slowly. He could see the sandy brown hair of his mother's and the tall figure of his father's leaning over him as he lay weakly on the cotton sheets of the hospital cot.
"Mom? Dad?" he whispered, trying to sit up. He felt the pressure of his dad's hand on his shoulder pushing him back to the bed.
"You need your rest sweetheart," his mother's quiet voice cracked as she spoke, and Remus could tell she was trying to be strong. He lifted his pale hand and grasped hers firmly. He could see tears rolling down her cheeks.
"I'm OK now mom, I'm OK." Remus said, trying to be brave for his mom. She smiled at him and smoothed down his hair. Remus smiled as he realized something, but then he frowned as he remembered the events of the night before, and realized what the consequences would be.
His mother noticed the distraught look on her son's face and squeezed his hand encouragingly. "What's wrong baby?"
"I got accepted to Hogwarts. I've finally been given a chance to become a wizard and now it's going to be taken away from me, isn't it? I was so excited last night when I got my letter and I- I rushed over to show you guys, and it-it happened. I'm going to be a werewolf now, aren't I? I've read about them, I know what's going to happen to me, and I know there's nothing we can do."
His parents couldn't say a thing, but Remus understood.
