Chapter 2: The "Wright" Decision
Remus walked down the pebbled road. Many parents were with their children as they shopped for supplies. He smiled as the memory of the time when he received the letter from Hogwarts. That was the best thing, besides meeting his best friends he ever received in his life. He smiled as a couple walked by him. They were holding hands as they turned to go into the park. He would do about anything for that contact. How he wished he could hold hands with Tonks, but how his mind wouldn't let his heart win the battle.
He kept walking down Hogsmeade. He had to get the thought of only a week or sountil the full moon out of his mind. He could feel the wolf inside him stir. It would continue until it was finally out. Out to roam and kill, which Remus would try to control with Sirius' help.
A loud noise came from Honey Dukes as a boy ran out and bumped into someone then ran off into an alley. Remus' brow scrunched as he watched that little bit of action. He decided to go after the boy. He slowly walked into the dark alley. He grasped his wand from his pocket as he continued to walk quietly. He could hear the tearing of paper and coughing from a person. He walked up to a dark figure and pointed the wand to it.
A small boy gasped with wide dark green eyes full of tears. He dropped the small package that he had. Remus knelt down as he withdrew his wand and picked up the object. It was a package of a chocolate frog. He looked at the small boy. He could see the dried tears down his cheeks.
"I was hungry…," he replied with barely a whisper. Remus could hear the fear within the small scratchy voice.
Remus handed the chocolate frog back to the boy who quietly took it with a shaking hand. His heart pained when the boy bit into it and ate it fast. It was probably the only food he had in a while.
"What's your name?" Remus asked with a small smile. He tried to show some comfort to the child.
The boy looked up with his long bangs falling into his face. Remus tried to move them out from the child' s face, but as he went to push them the boy scrunched down even further and squinted. He tried to cover his face with his arms.
"I wasn't going to hurt you," Remus whispered as a cool breeze blew by.
"It's Caleb. Caleb Wright," he responded trying to dodge the subject. He looked up at Remus. Remus had a small smile on his face by the way the shadows were upon him.
"Nice to meet you Caleb. I'm Remus Lupin. Come now, I can get you some 'real' food. And besides it's about to rain. I don't think you'd like to be caught in this storm. Especially in an alley. There's all kinds of monsters back here," Remus replied as he held out a hand.
Caleb looked at it. There were scars on about each finger and knuckle. He breathed in silently as he thought about the offer. He nodded to himself and took the offered hand. They both stood up and looked at each other.
"I suppose you've never apparated." Remus replied with a smile.
Caleb shook his head.
"Well then, hold on tight alright?" Remus asked patting Caleb's hand.
With a small "pop" they disappeared insight from the dark alley.
