A few hours later Cameron slowly awoke he looked around and what had happened came back to his memory. The moonlight shone in through the curtain, and Cameron remembered it was a full moon; he cringed at that thought, thinking of his uncle. Before his dad had died, once a month, Remus would stay over at Cameron's house, and when Remus transformed into a Werewolf, Sam would turn himself into a wolf, and with Sam's influence Remus didn't act totally like a werewolf, when Cameron got old enough he too joined in as a wolf. When Sam had died, Cameron took over the job of controlling his uncles werewolf mind, it was not easy but Cameron knew Remus would not attack another wolf especially a young one. But now all Cameron could think of, was his uncle trapped in the cellar alone a full werewolf, trying to get out. Cameron closed his eyes and shook his head trying to shake the images out of his head. Suddenly his extra sensitive wolf hearing picked up something, Is that…. Someone…… singing? He silently crept to the window and opened it. Moonlight made the Forbidden Forest shine with an unearthly light. Or, was it because of the singing? Cameron struggled to remember what his father had told him about sirens….
"Cam, you're old enough to learn about a werewolf's greatest enemy,""What silver bullets?" Remus snickered. He was young, only 25 years old, over for a visit. Samric didn't share in his joke.
"This is serious Remus, Dad thought it was serious enough to tell me when I was about Cameron's age. Son, werewolves are at the top of the food chain. We're not entirely happy about this position but that's were we are. Only one other living being has the power to harm us without silver."
"What?" five-year-old Cameron was intrigued.
"Sirens."
"Oh Sam," Remus interrupted, "Sirens only hurt us when they're on the defensive. We're not exactly kind to them when transformed. If I remember correctly we try to kill them."
"So they kill us because of our instinct?"
"Uhhh…"
"Thank-you. Now Cameron listen to me. A siren can look beautiful and harmless, a flaky creature who loves to sing, but they're much more. Their magic lies in their singing. They can make anything they want happen with a simple song, or a whistle or a hum."
"They sound nice…"
"They aren't! They kill us Cameron. They hunt us down and cause us to explode! If you ever come across a siren, don't tell it that you have werewolf blood."
"I think I met a siren once," Remus murmured, "She was so young, a half blood I think… but then again maybe it was a dream. It felt like a dream. Heh, she was so cute, like the sister I always wished I had…"
Samric gave Remus an accusing look
"Remus, if you had actually met a half siren you wouldn't be here now," Samric snapped, "Half breeds are far stronger than full bloods. Because of the mixing of blood they can block human magic. Full bloods can do it too but half-breeds have an easier time. Also because they're half human, they harbor that stupid human fear of werewolves. Both of you know how powerful a half werewolf is, half Sirens are just as powerful as a half werewolf, maybe even stronger"
"Well to be fair werewolves happen to find half sirens as a delicious delicacy…"
"And they find hunting down half werewolves a delightful and amusing game." Sam said monotone "Another thing, if you are out on a full moon and near a forest, don't look at it. Siren's live by the moon and a full moon is their favorite type. When they sing during a full moon they use its light to illuminate everything, drawing werewolves to them to kill."
"Oh Sam be reasonable…"
"You can take this lightly as you want Remus, but you'll howl a different tune when you actually meet a siren…………"
************************************************************************
Cameron smiled. The light was pretty but he had no desire to go into the forest. He listened hard and caught snippets of Serena's song:
"No matter how hard this wind/Tries to push me back/I recite a single spell and/Set the pace my own way/Anyone who's jealous of my power/And my beauty won't get in the way/I won't flinch from any opponent/As my cape flaps in the breeze/I want this, I want that/Hey, that's just how girls are/One slip and it's to hell you go/So you'd better not get in my way/Far away, I'm going where I want to/Don't want this journey to end/Even the worst of days I end with a smile/Far away, embracing all the magic/I wanna go beyond this day/With my eyes on my dreams I keep walking on/As far as I can/Get along, try again/Taikutsu na toki wa warui yatsura/TAAGETTO ni kibarashi/SUTORESU mo tonde otakara made te ni/Sureba yamerarenai/Okiraku ni chotto asobu tabi ni/Mitasareta kibun da wa/SURIRINGU na hi no ESSENSU wa/Oishiku nakucha dame ne/Are mo hoshii kore mo hoshii/Onna no ko wa yokubari yo/Ikiru koto wa kirei koto ja/Toori nukerarenai/Far away, I'm going where I want to/Don't want this journey to end/Even the worst of days I end with a smile/Far away itsu demo hitori ja nai/Chikara awase haruka saki/Yume ni mukai aruki tsuzukete yuku/Kagirinai hodo/Get along, Try again/Far away, I'm going where I want to/Don't want this journey to end/Even the worst of days I end with a smile/Far away, embracing all the magic/I wanna go beyond this day/With my eyes on my dreams I keep walking on/Far away itsu demo hitori ja nai/Chikara awase haruka saki/Yume ni mukai aruki tsuzukete yuku/Kagirinai hodo/Get along, Try again/

The singing ended, but Cameron stayed at the window staring out across the forest. Why was his dad so bent against Sirens, Serena was nice maybe it was just full sirens, Cameron knew that there where a bunch of full werewolves that could be rotten. These thoughts ran through Cameron's head. What happened between Werewolves and Sirens to make them hate each other so much? Cameron was sure it wasn't just the fact that werewolves always tried to eat Sirens, and it couldn't be just Sirens having enough power to kill a werewolf. Right then and there staring out the window with the cool night air blowing inside whipping at his face, Cameron decided that no matter how long it took, he would find out why Sirens and Werewolves hated each other so much, maybe even do something to change everyone's opinion.
"Mr. Lupin I'm very glad to see your awake but would you mind closing the window, it is fall must I remind you, therefore its quite chilly." Cameron heard a voice say behind him, he turned and looked, Madam Pomfrey was standing there smiling.
"Sorry Madam Pomfrey" Cameron said closing the window "I heard Serena-"
"Yes singing, she goes out and sings at the new moon phase, apparently it's a Siren thing, you know she's half siren correct?"
Cameron nodded
"She told me"
Madam Pomfrey ushered Cameron back over to his bed,
"Let me just take one finally look and you can head up to Gryffindor"
After examining Cameron taking his pulse and temperature she smiled.
"Well everything seems to be back to normal. Now are you sure your well enough?"
Cameron nodded
"Yes thank you very much," he said
"Before I call for someone to take you, please promise to wear your glasses when you need them, I don't want to have you back up here with another problem similar to this, all right?" Madam Pomfrey asked, giving Cameron a very stern look
"I promise" Cameron said nodding; he took the glasses off the table beside his bed, and slipped them into the pocket of his robes.
At the door appeared a glasses wearing red head boy, he was wearing Gryffindor robes and a shiny badge with the letter P on them. Cameron was positive he was a Weasley; the hair gave it away instantly.
"Ah yes thank you for coming Percy, Percy this is Cameron Jenkins, I was hoping you as perfect would escort him up to the Gryffindor Tower, and explain things he might have missed after dinner?" Madam Pomfrey said to the boy who nodded
"Yes Professor Dumbledore already talked to me" he turned to Cameron "are you ready?"
Cameron nodded. He turned to Madam Pomfrey
"Thank you again, I'm sorry for being such a bother"
Madam Pomfrey smiled
"Cameron its not a bother if you get ill, that's what I'm here for. And Cameron if I may say, you are a spiting image of your uncle a remarkable spitting image of him." She smiled again and went back to her desk.
"Come on then" Percy said, and Cameron jogged to catch up with him.
"Now I'm supposed to explain the rules and other information that you missed." Percy said adjusting his glasses and looking at Cameron,
Cameron nodded
"As Madam Pomfrey said, my names Percy Weasley and I'm a Perfect, which means I have almost as much authority as a teacher, I believe you've already met my younger brother Ron?" Cameron nodded "All right first notices, as a first year you need to know that the Forest on the grounds, is forbidden to all. No magic between the corridors. Quidditch trials will start the 2nd week of term, if you're interested in playing for Gryffindor, you should talk to the Flight Instructor Madam Hooch. The last notice that was mentioned after dinner was the 3rd floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds. Understand?" Again Cameron nodded. "Now for the notices I told the other first years earlier. You will need a password to gain access to the Gryffindor Common room; all the houses have some sort of private entrance. The password for this week is 'Caput Draconis' now its Cameron? Right?"
"Yes"
"Do you have any questions?" Percy asked as they reached a portrait of a Fat lady. Cameron shook his head. "Right then, this is the entrance to the Gryffindor Tower, through this portrait, simply tell her the password and she'll let you in." To the Portrait Percy said "Caput Draconis"
"That's right deary in you go now" she said Cameron stared in shock, suddenly remembering that Remus had told him that the portraits talked but he hadn't expected them to move also.
They climbed inside and Cameron stared around the Common Room, that feeling of pride hit him again, knowing his dad, his uncle, his grandfather, and many others from his family had stood in this same room, probably feeling the same pride he was feeling at this moment.
Percy smiled at Cameron,
"Something isn't it?"
Cameron nodded, Percy pointed to a door off to the side of the round room.
"Up there is the 1st year dorms, you'll find your trunk and other items waiting for you, good night" and with that Percy walked through another door and shut it leaving Cameron alone. Taking a deep breath, Cameron walked through the door Percy had pointed too, and climbed the spiral stairs to what had to be one of the towers. Around the room, where 7 four-poster beds with deep red velvet curtains. Cameron found his bed next to Dan's; he could hear small sighs coming from behind the curtains and had to laugh. Pulling his pajamas, on Cameron slipped into the warm bed. Cameron didn't fall asleep right away, maybe he had been sleeping too long anyway maybe Madam Pomfrey's potion was still affecting him, instead he stared at the ceiling of his bed, and slowly he began drifting off to sleep and soon was fast asleep.
