"What happened then?" Anna asked. It was ten o'clock and they had gotten through Remus's first four years. They had been filled with pranks and loving friendships. They explained how the boys had become animagi.

"Well, I hadn't spent summer or winter vacations home except for the weeks of the full moons. So my family was becoming very peeved with me, even if I didn't know it. So I shouldn't have been surprised when they sent a special type of letter called versal."

"Oh, a letter that shows like a video of what they say."

"Yes, my family sends them a lot.

I was eating breakfast when the owl came. It was a beautiful Great Horned Owl, and I knew it instantly as my twin's. It dropped a green letter, and grabbed some toast before taking off.

"Whatcha get?" Sirius asked, leaning over my shoulders. I opened the letter and it fell out of the envelope.

"Remus Lupin, you little overgrown createn, where in Merlin have you been?" shouted a blonde haired teen who looked as annoyed as she sounded.

"Move it Jenna, Remus, we have a family reunion this winter vacation, so you are coming home. NO MISSING, if we have to suffer so do you!" said a boy who looked just like Remus.

"Kids, Remus dear, your friends are welcome to come as well." Said a friendly looking woman who was Mrs. Lupin. I rolled my eyes as the letter burned up. Grabbing a piece of paper I started my reply.

"Hey, James, Sirius, Pete, can you come save me from my family this winter break?" I asked. Sirius and James nodded. Peter shook his head as he shoved some toast in his mouth.

"My family is taking a trip to America, can't get out of it." He said shrugging. I nodded and wrote my reply. I'd send it later. Christmas break wouldn't be for a couple weeks.

"So, what's so bad about that?" Harry asked. He didn't see Isabel and Anna shuddering.

"With all the aunts and uncles exclaiming over you, pinching your cheeks, grandparents who never shut up, what's not wrong with it?"

"Actually, our reunions weren't that bad. All the family, even those that didn't live in Europe got together at our house, it was the biggest one after all. During the day we played games, did family stuff with the little kids. After eight they were set to bed and we partied in the sound proof basement. We were all pureblood, but unlike the Malfoy's we believed some Muggle things were useful and most of us couldn't do magic outside of school." Remus explained.

"So the time to leave Hogwarts rolled around, and I was dreading it."

"Why?" Anna asked.

"Shut-up." Isabel answered. Harry smiled to himself.

The day that we took the Hogwarts Express back home was cold and windy. It had snowed during the night. The weather was perfect for a student dreading going home, even if he knew that the train would plow through even ten feet of snow.

"Ready to go Moony?" James asked from behind me. If it hadn't been for my werewolf senses, I'd have jumped. As it was I was a bit startled.

"Yes." I said shortly. Even if the reunion was horrible at least I would have two of my friends with me. Even if my family hated me, I wouldn't be completely alone. Besides, there was always Cassidy.

We rode the threstal-drawn carriages to the Hogwarts Express.

"Wait a sec, you could see thestrals? Who died?" Anna asked.

"I saw the werewolf that bit me die the night I was bitten." Remus replied, but he didn't look to happy about having to answer the question in the first place.

"So what's your family look like, act like, and do they speak English?" Sirius asked. I pulled out some photos from my trunk.

"One, yes, they all speak English." I handed him a photo. "That's my immediate family. Mom's in the middle on the chair, Jenna right, Rena left. Behind the chair is my dad middle, Romulus left, and I right. The two on the floor are Cosette and Jeanette, they're twins, don't bother telling them apart. The baby in the middle is Adele. They're pretty nice, but Rena hates me. Jenna's a Goth. Romulus is okay. Cosette and Jeanette are sluts, but leave them alone Sirius. Mother and father are okay." I said. Then I handed him another photo.

"These are my cousins. The one of the right is Marissa, and the one on the left is Cassidy. They're from America. A tad on the creepy side, but Cassidy's funny. Just don't take her serious. James lifted his eyebrow as Sirius nodded.

The train pulled in finally. Looking around I located my older sister Jenna. Her hair was dyed black and her clothes that same shade. I dragged Sirius and James over. She looked over me.

"Hey Remus." She said. Giving my friends a once look over she started to walk off. She pulled out of her pocket an empty box of cigarettes. I touched it distastefully with a finger. I felt the familiar pull and closed my eyes.

When I opened my eyes I could hear the music pouring out of our mansion. I noticed James and Sirius' mouths drops. The door opened instantly and a hyper blonde was before me. I smiled at Cassidy even though she barely noticed.

"Hi person who hates the world. Hi person I haven't seen since he was ten. Hi person I don't know. Hi other person I don't know." She said as each of us entered the room. I could hear the music pouring into my sensitive ears. In the middle of the dancing I saw Cosette and Jeanette dancing. Mother must not have known about those outfits otherwise she'd have had they're heads for wearing them.

"I can imagine." Anna said grinning. Remus laughed. Isabel mock frowned at the two of them.

"Okay, my hand really hurts. I gotta stop writing." She said shaking out her hand.

"We can continue tomorrow." Remus said. The three young adults headed out of the room, silently giggling.

Remus watched them leave knowing that he hadn't had this much fun since school. His mind silently went over what happened next in his life. After the fifth year family reunion the horrors started. He wondered if he should tell the kids this.
"Isabel, why did Remus check into St. Mungo's?" Anna asked over coffee. Isabel took another sip before answering.

"He checked in under lycanthropy induced depression." She answered.

"Which is?" Anna asked.

"The causes are many, but I don't know which one caused Remus's depression. I have a feeling I know though." Isabel said. Then she stood up and walked to the cash register.
A/N: Thanks to Werewolf's One. Yeah, I know it was corny, sorry, I wrote it at ten o'clock with my mother trying to make me go to bed...not very easy to write good with someone scowling over your shoulder. Sorry guys for not updating sooner, I fell off my bike and scratched up my arm pretty bad so writing was near impossible for me to do. I wasn't home at all Saturday and Sunday. Sorry. PLEASE REVIEW! I write faster when you do.
