Remus John Lupin was a strong man. He had survived so much, he had lost so much. He was bitten and turned into a werewolf when he was five after his father pissed of Fenrir Greyback. He had attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he made friends with three other boys. James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and him were the best of friends.
Remus still remembered the pure terror and devastation he felt when his friends found out he was a werewolf. He thought they would abandon him but they didn't. They covered for him on full moons, visited him in the Hospital Wing when they could, and even broke the law for him. They became unregistered animagi which is against the law.
A few years after graduation thought, he lost all of them. James and Lily, two of his friends who got married, were killed and Harry, their son, was taken away. He thought Sirius had been the Secret Keeper but there were always doubts.
Sirius and James were brothers in all but blood. Sirius could have gone to Hufflepuff with how loyal he was. But before he could blink, Sirius had been sentenced to life in Azkaban for the murder of Peter and thirteen and muggles.
He lost his four friends in one night. Three dead and one in Azkaban. His honorary godson gone as well. Twelve years later he finds out that Sirius was innocent and that Peter was not only alive, but behind everything!
Then, he nearly looses Sirius and Harry to Dementors. And he attacks them because it's a full moon. Two years later, Sirius is dead and Harry went missing.
Remus Lupin was a strong man. He had to be, or else he wouldn't of survived. Now, he's on the Hogwarts express with his friends looking at him in concern and panic. Two of those friends were dead while the third was behind the death of one and the imprisonment of the other.
While Remus was considering if he finally went insane or if he really traveled back in time, Sirius seemed to snap out of his shock.
"Um, Moony? Are you okay?"
Sirius flinched when Remus's head snapped to look at him. There was a look in his eye that wasn't there before and honestly, it scared him. His eyes were flashing amber and there was a ring on his hand that wasn't there before. Remus was glaring at him with a look of pure hatred and out of the corner of his eye, he saw both James and Peter flinch too.
Suddenly, Remus was on his feet with his wand in his hand. Sirius barely heard the sound of the book that Remus was reading earlier hit the floor over the sound of his own thoughts rushing a mile a minute, trying to figure out what caused Remus to act like this. Remus pointed his wand at Peter and seemed to growl.
"What are your names? What secret of mine did you figure out in second year? How did you figure out said secret? And where did you confront me about the secret?" Remus growled out with clenched teeth all while keeping his wand firmly pointed at Peter and glaring at all three so much hate that it would put Walburga Black to shame.
"My name is Sirius Black"
"I'm James Potter"
"Peter Pettigrew"
They answered wearily. Remus was acting odd and they were staring to think that maybe it wasn't Remus at all. They had learned about the Polyjuice Potion and they had only been on the train for a few hours. Remus had left a few times during those few hours.
It was Peter that answered the second question.
"During our second year, we discovered that you were a werewolf."
"You would always disappear during the full moon, and one day Sirius came across a book about werewolves and read it. He thought you showed all the signs so he came and showed me and Peter. That full moon, we followed you hidden by my Invisibility Cloak. After we confirmed out suspicions, we left before we were spotted." James continued.
"When you got back from the Hospital Wing, we confronted you in our dorm room." Sirius finished.
By that point, all three were on their feet with their wands pointing at Remus while glaring at him. The hate and venom left his eyes and he lowered his wand. He sighed and rubbed his temple while muttering something under his breath.
They asked him question to confirm his identity. When they finished, Remus fell back into his seat and his eyes looked suspiciously glassy. He was shaking his head and muttering under his breath.
The other three in the compartment just looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Everything was fine with Remus that morning. He acted normally for a few hours when suddenly, while he was reading a book about potions, he passed out. They tried waking but nothing worked. James and Sirius started pacing and running their hands through their hair while Peter watched Remus for any sign of waking.
When he did wake up, he started panicking, trying to get something away from his hand but failed. Then he looked at them and started hyperventilating. Sirius had to calm him down from a panic attack! Then suddenly he does a 180 and starts glaring at them, pointing his wand at them, and interrogating them.
When they confirmed that it was Remus, he starts acting like this! What the bloody hell is going on?!
Suddenly there is a knock on the door. When they all look up, except Remus, they see a boy with midnight black hair that was short and neat. He had turquoise eyes that if you looked closely into, you could see flecks of amber. He wore a Hogwarts uniform but without a house crest and his tie was plain black.
He opened the door, looked around, saw Remus, grabbed his arm, and dragged him away while the other three were still in shock.
Who is this mysterious boy? And what does he want with Remus? Please review.
