Remus stared at his teacher. Harry was a werewolf as well? That couldn't be
right. Dumbledore surely wouldn't hire a werewolf for a teacher, a student
was perhaps ok, but a teacher would need someone to fill in for the three
days of the month that Harry was in the forest.
"Huh?" He asked, unintelligently.
"I said I am your kind. I'm a werewolf. But you mustn't tell anyone else about that." Harry trailed off. "Or I could lose my job."
A knock on the door startled both the teens. Remus looked to the door. "Just a sec!" Harry called.
"Remus. I want you to promise me you wont tell anyone, and here take this." Harry took a potion bottle out of his pocket. "This will help you stay in your mind, but be in your werewolf body. And though Remus didn't know yet, it was quite like the wolfsbane potion, but you only needed to take it the day before the transformation and then that same day, before you transform. "Take it tonight, before you go to sleep, then take it again tomorrow, just before sundown."
Remus silently left, standing outside the door was another cloaked figure. Remus noticed his uncovered mouth twitch into a small smile, and he whispered to him: "Good luck, Remus." Before entering the room himself. As the bemused Remus walked away he heard the delighted yell of -"Harry! It's so good to see you!"
~*~
Harry looked at the cloaked figure in disbelief. Well, the cloak figure that was now de-hooded.
"Sirius! What on earth are you doing here?"
"Well. Full Moon tomorrow night, you and Moony will be out, and the castle might need some more protection, so Dumbledore said I would be able to stay here and you can be my assistant teacher." Sirius grinned devilishly.
"Oh dear." Harry groaned. "I think I'm a bad enough teacher, with the both of us?" Harry shook his head in mock horror while he put it into his hands.
"It wont be THAT bad, Harry." Sirius smiled. "Ron and Hermione have been demanding to know where you are. Ginny and Draco haven't told them, since they are the only other children that know, and neither have Molly, Bill, Charlie or Arthur." Sirius explained.
"Oh dear. I didn't think about how my coming here might affect Ron and Hermione. What does this Dumbledore say about you helping me teach?"
"Well, he just told me to come and get you and take you to his office so that he may see if it's alright with you, I told him who I was and everything." Sirius rambled on.
"Alright! What are we waiting for?" Harry just about skipped out of the office, it was good to have someone he knew around, and not just a miniature version of that someone.
~*~
"Psst! James! Sirius." Remus whispered from behind the chair James and Sirius were sitting on. They turned around. "Where's Peter?"
"I dunno." They both shrugged. "Why are you whispering?"
"Come to the dorm, I need to tell you something." Remus started towards the stairs, James and Sirius trailing behind.
Click. James shut the door and looked at his friend. "What's this all about?"
"I have to tell you something about tomorrow." Remus said, looking down. He mumbled something incoherent.
"What?"
"You wont be able to come tomorrow because-" He was cut off by a knock at the door. It opened to reveal Lily.
"Hello Remus." She said sweetly. "G'day Sirius." She added, not at all nicely, and she just ignored James completely. "Remus, would you please come and help me with my Transfiguration homework?"
"It's James that's good at Transfiguration."
"Forget I asked." Lily said coldly as she glared at James.
"Alright I'll come. See you later." Remus then left with Lily to help her with the homework she needed help with. Tomorrow would be a big day, especially after dark.
~*~
Sirius skipped into his first class of the day. His hood was down as he didn't look very much like his counterpart, and he found the class already there, waiting patiently. He wouldn't admit it, but he was darn nervous. Harry had decided to take the day off, so he could write a list of things he wanted Sirius to do while he was 'indisposed' as a human.
Sirius gulped. "Uh. Hello." He said. Well that was good, you nimwit, definitely not the best way to regain respect. He heard a few Slytherin's, as well as Gryffindor's, chuckle. "That's enough." He said sharply. It was the only thing he could think of, he definitely couldn't make himself an emotionless shell like his godson.
All talking and giggles stopped at once. "Sorry about that." There were a few nods.
"Where is Harry?" Someone called out. Sirius was startled when he looked at himself, he really hadn't noticed how much he'd changed. It was then that he realized exactly what class he would be teaching, and as he looked from Lily Evans to James Potter, who were currently torn between glaring at each other, listening to the teacher, and grinning at Sirius, and he felt tears spring to his eyes.
"Man I hate allergies." He mumbled to take away the fact that he had been seemingly crying in class. "Oh. Um. Harry is busy today, and he will be my apprentice from now on. He's the one that's best at this class, but he isn't the best teacher." Sirius grinned. "I bet he didn't even give you homework."
People started to groan and Sirius chuckled. "Well now. I am Professor Reid. You can call me that, or just plain Professor, or even Shit head if the need arises. I will be taking over this class permanently for the next few days, Harry's gone away on business for Dumbledore, and then once he's back, he'll, as I said, be my apprentice."
Good one Sirius, stop babbling. He chided himself mentally.
~*~
The Marauders were a little worried about Harry. Why was he away? And, Sirius and James were rather curious as to why they weren't able to go with him that night, maybe they could just sneak around and see.
The three of them all had a feeling they would like this teacher though, he seemed familiar AND he didn't hood his face, like he had something to hide.
The lesson was rather good. Professor Reid was a funny teacher. They were learning about the unforgivables this lesson, they were meant to be doing dueling, but Professor Reid had said that it would be better to just do these now, get them out of the way. (They didn't know that his real intention was to complete the unforgivables before Harry was back.)
~*~
Harry sat in his and Sirius office most of the day. He was hiding in a back room, as he wasn't even supposed to be a teacher, and was lounging around. thinking. He remembered the day when he had first been bitten, it was a time he wanted to forget, desperately.
#FlashBack#
Harry tried piercing the tree's darkness with his eyes. but it was no use. He knew Voldemort was around somewhere, but where, he didn't know. His scar was throbbing, the pain was almost unbearable, and unfortunately, so did many of the other scars on his body, inflicted by Death Eaters. He could tell Lucius Malfoy wasn't around, the scar he'd given Harry, the most prominent anyway, wasn't hurting at all.
Suddenly, from out of no where, a wolf jumped out of him. At first he thought it was normal, but he realized after taking a closer look at it that it was Remus' kind. It was a werewolf.
Harry tried desperately to get to his feet after falling down from shock. His attempts were in vain however as the wolf came closer, circling Harry. He looked up, it was the full moon, Remus would be out here somewhere, after all, he hadn't been able to take his potion due to there being none in the castle. anywhere.
Harry felt dark fangs seeping into his shoulder, right near where his uncle had tried slitting his throat, and the pain seared through his body. It started from the bite, then went straight down through his body to his toes and fingers, and up in his head, before finishing off back at the bite. He wasn't a werewolf yet, he wouldn't be til the next to full moon. but it would happen.
He saw Dumbledore's concerned face swimming in and out of focus. before he blacked out.
Ron and Hermione had never found out, and Remus Lupin had never forgiven himself.

I know it's short, but atleast it's a chapter. Who suspected that Remus had been the one to bite Harry? Hmmm. must have created a fair amount of conflict between the two, hey? Hehe. Not really, Harry's too kind to worry about it.
