Remus Lupin was, well, awake. That was about all anyone could say about him since it had been his status for the past day or so. 5:00 A. M. ugh, why couldn't the letter just come? Whether or not he had been accepted, at least he would know. About 15 minutes ago his mom had walked in and given him hot chocolate. She had then invited him to come with her and watch some movie. He would have taken her up on the offer, but it would probably just be some chick flic. Still, if it had a chance of breaking the tension, he was willing to try it. Remus therefore walked down the stairs and sat next to his mom on the couch.
His mom was watching the beginning of a movie titled "Enchanted". It was a movie made in the Wizard world about a girl that falls in love with a werewolf in her 5th year of school. Remus rolled his eyes, but he was slightly intrigued. It was always interesting to see how werewolves were characterized in the media. It was also interesting to see what they looked like (almost everything got it completely wrong in both wolf and human forms). He sat down next to his mom and watched. His mom put a popcorn bowl in between them and then started the movie.
The whole movie seemed to be messed up, even when the full moon came, one scene would have the moon be a new moon and then the next night time scene would have a full moon. The girl was also a little too perfect, and Dumbledore was cast wrong. But the thing that got on Remus's nerves the most was the fact that the werewolf was evil until the girl changes him, and he becomes a good person, and then when the girl kisses him on a full moon, while the moon is out but covered with clouds, and then he never turns into a wolf again. The dude had pointy ears and canines to top it all off. Remus was laughing throughout the whole thing, his mom joining in. Of course after the movie was over Remus checked the date and found out it was made 30 years before then.
After the movie Remus's father, Bob, walked down the stairs of their little two story cottage by the woods. The cottage was a nice place with flowers decorating the front and back yards. At the side was a small place that Remus's mother, Luna, had made for Remus to go when he turned into a wolf (incase he wanted to go into it as a wolf, which he didn't, but it made a nice clubhouse).
Now, Bob had been a perfectly happy, normal muggle until he met Luna. They fell in love and got married and he still didn't know she was a witch, after all, she was perfectly content with living a muggle lifestyle. They had a kid, still they were both perfectly happy and supposedly muggles. Then, one night when Remus was four, their kid wandered off and got bitten. That's when Bob's world crumbled around up and flipped itself over. First they had found their child in an alleyway with a large bite mark on his thigh.
Luna's reaction to this was to gasp and immediately declare the bite that of a werewolf. Bob had laughed for a few seconds only to be glared at by Luna, who had picked up the unconscious Remus. "I am a witch," she declared, "our son is now a werewolf. You need to go and get a few ingredients for me so that we can make this bite stop bleeding." Yeah, that was the end of life as Bob knew it. Still, after becoming slightly paranoid (there was wolfsbane draped all over the walls of the master bedroom), he remained a caring baker who loved his family very much. As a matter of fact, they still ran their small bakery in town that both Luna and Bob worked at (and Remus, when he wanted some extra money). It was a reasonably good life, and Remus even went to an all muggle school.
"I'm going to work. You're going to stay here, right?" Bab asked his wife as he grabbed a piece of toast. Luna nodded and waved good-bye to her husband as he walked out the door and drove away. Remus sighed and looked out the window for any sign of an owl. A couple of seconds later something like a red ball flew into the window and landed on the table. The red ball turned out to be a phoenix, that Luna exclaimed to be Dumbledore's and therefore there had to be good news. Remus took the letter that the phoenix was handing him. He looked at the bright sparkling teal words, which looked like they started out as pink, and then changed.

Remus laughed, nervously, and opened the envelope. His hands shook as he took out the letter and read it out loud.
Dear Mr. Lupin,
We are quite pleased to inform you that we are allowed to accept you at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Remus stopped reading as he looked at his screaming mother; she had seemed to have gone crazy and was dancing around the room. Remus laughed at the sight and continued to read.
Please find in closed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September 21. I would like to talk to you after the feast in my office. We await you owl by no latter then July 31.
Cordially,
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster
Remus smiled and quickly wrote, "Yes! I'm coming." Took the list of books and equipment and then sent the phoenix away. His mother had stopped the little party she was having and sat next to Remus.
"Tomorrow we can go to Diagon Alley, with your father, and you can buy all the stuff you need, then we can go to the train station and it's going to be so much fun!" Luna said with a huge smile and high pitched voice. Remus smiled and gave the list to his mother.
That night Remus, Luna, and Bob had their chocolate fondue (at the request of Luna, seconded by Remus), a nice little Remus centered party (complete with Bob and Remus's first butterbeers), and fell asleep, ready for the next day.
