Here's everyone's favorite warewolf [unless you like Jacob of course :)], LUPIN! Enjoy!

My friends are dead.

At least, James, Lilly, and Peter are. Sirius is in prison and is as good as dead to me after what he's done! He betrayed his friends and he deserves to die for it! Why, if it was a full moon I'd go out and kill him myself! Okay, calm down Remus, calm down. Anger isn't going to bring them all back.

When I was bitten as a child I realized how hard life would be from that point on. I realized how people would avoid me, how I would never be able to have any friends, and how I would have to spend much of my life sheltered and away from human contact. I had become resigned to the idea and was ready to live out my life as a werewolf.

However, when Dumbledore became headmaster of Hogwarts and offered me a place at the school I started to hope again. I hoped I could live a somewhat normal life, I hoped I could go to school and have a job like a normal person…I hoped I could have friends.

James, Sirius and Peter were those friends. We did absolutely everything together. For the first time in my life I was part of a group, and a popular one at that. There was always a part of me, though, that feared that they would discover my secret and banish me as others had done before them.

Well, they did discover the secret but instead of shunning me they embraced who I was and accepted me all the more. They even became illegal animagus so they could keep me company when I was transformed. I can't even begin to express how much that meant to me.

Lilly eventually joined our group after she started dating James and we all thought she was the perfect match for him. Kind, smart, mischievous, and gorgeous to boot, she was all he could have asked for in a girl and much more. When they got married we couldn't have been more thrilled! Well, that's all come crashing down around me now.

I was so shocked when Dumbledore came and told me what had happened that I didn't speak for a full ten minutes after he had finished telling the tale of how Sirius had betrayed James and Lilly to Voldemort, how Peter…stupid Peter…had gone after and cornered him, how Sirius had slaughtered him and many muggles, and finally how Sirius was sent off to Azkaban laughing. Laughing! The least he could have done was shown some remorse for what he had done! Why I…breathe Remus, breathe. As I said before, I couldn't speak. I just couldn't believe that I had lost all my friends…my only friends…all in one horrible night. I was alone.
