Why Remus never contacted Harry.
I remember when I stood in front of his former headmaster, "I was wondering when do you think would be a good time for me to get in touch with Harry sir?" I had been so glad when I heard Harry was alright, but because I was a werewolf, I was not allowed to take custody.
"We'll be sending out the letters soon, you should give him sometime to become used to our world before you introduce yourself." I had always thought Dumbledore infallible, how wrong I was.
He kept me away from the only family I had left. With James and Lily gone, and Sirius in jail, the last of my surrogate family was Harry. Dumbledore knew, he knew how important Harry was to me, and yet he kept him away from me all these years.
I was talking to McGonagall about Harry once before I started teaching, she told me that he had been left with Lily's horrible sister and her husband. I had thought he was in a place that he would be loved and cared for, if I had even suspected where he was, I would have done something about it.
I remember that I had asked Dumbledore several times if he thought now was good, my god it must have been sixty or seventy times that first year. His second year, I must have sent at least fifty letters, not including the letters I sent everyday that he was out of school the summer before. Not a one got through.
Finally I was allowed to teach him. I felt my stomach churn at how thin he was. I go through monthly transformations, what reason would Harry have for looking so thin?
Several times I talked with Dumbledore, and several times he assured me that everything was fine. Fine my ass, neither James nor Lily was that thin, and that includes when they were training to be aurors. I should do something, but for now I must endure this transformation.
I've found it interesting that I have become quite introverted during my transformations now, must be the wolfsbane potion.
A/n: Just something that wouldn't leave me alone. It is curious that Remus never contacted Harry before, or after he received his Hogwarts letter. No mention is made about him unless you count Hagrid talking about contacting some of James and Lily's friends.
