Remus
Half blood
Gryffindor 6th year
Ladies and gentlemen, I am a freak of nature. Even the freaks give me odd looks when I pass them in the corridors. I barely remember when it happened. The attack, the actual bite, it's like my brain has locked them away somewhere where my mind can't reach them. But I will always remember what happened after. Mum cried for days, her eyes were always so red. And even know, after all these years, although she's never said it, I've seen the resentful looks she gives dad. I don't want to sound like a complete arse, but sometimes I can't help but feel like it's all his fault. If he hadn't had a row with Greyback, he never would have come after me. But here I am, the beast among the mortals.
If I could wish for one thing, just one little thing, it would be not having to prove myself. Just because I'm different, my parents expect me to "be all I can be". I can't say how many times I've received letters saying "Darling, people are going to expect you to fail just because of who you are, you have to prove them wrong and then some". So here I am, prefect, top of my year, freak, and completely miserable.
