Choices
Choice forty: Remus
I'm not important I'm just a man who is trying to make the best of a bad situation. I know that people who don't know me that well look at me and wonder what's going on in my life. Mr Potter has been great to me giving me a job but the other researchers seem to think there is a motive behind that job.
Then there are those that I trust they see me for who I truly am and don't judge and I know that I am extremely lucky to have such good friends. But part of me is always thinking that this is just too good that something bad is going to happen.
We are in dark times and the prophet has recently written an article on Voldemort, Mr Potter had to allow his writer to publish it even if it isn't a hundred percent true. He talks about the followers of Voldemort and how all the dark creatures are following him, and he's included werewolves.
This is something that has been weighing me down, werewolves are likely to follow him because he only wants rid of the people who aren't pureblood. Werewolves have had such a raw deal under wizarding law that they feel Voldemort is the way to go. Part of me thinks that and then I think of my friends and know I'd rather live a hard life free of Voldemort than an easy life under him.
I know that people who don't know me will think that due to my condition I'm on Voldemort's side but I really don't care. As long as my friends know the truth I'll be happy. It's not only my friends that know the truth though Dumbledore is still helping me out.
He came to the office yesterday and found me. He pulled me to one side and told me he wanted my help. I owe him so much I don't think I would ever say no to him. But then he explained what he had in mind, the Order of the Phoenix.
I've heard of this Order there have been mumbles about it around the office trying to work out who was involved in it, nobody could seem to name anybody. People did believe that Dumbledore had a part in it but nobody knew the truth.
I was given a choice I could join this Order and try to help defeat Voldemort. This wasn't that big a choice for me, because although the wizarding world shuns me due to what I am I'd rather live in a world where I'm shunned than one where Voldemort is in control.
