Chapter 3
Remus stared disbelievingly at the –boy- above him. Lee was barely of age! To have mastered the art of Mind Reading and not even cause pain to the receiver he would have to be a—
"Wizard" Lee stated for Remus, "right, Pro-fe-ssor?" he pronounced as if helping Remus realize what he was calling him from the start of their—
"For a qualified teacher of Hogwarts, known to have the best education for aspiring wizards as well as the brain child for most of your pranks in your marauders school days, you're quite slow," Lee stated with that silly grin, "Professor." He finished. Remus could only blink at the teen and ask when he got feeling of his voice back.
"Are you a student of Hogwarts by any chance?" Remus thought it was the most logical answer he could possibly conclude but it doesn't explain the wolves. Though, he predicted the answer to be— "No" Lee replied back easily with a smile.
"As I thought," Remus said with a sigh and tried again, "Can you please tell me who you are?" He asked. For some reason, deep inside, he trusts this 'Lee' person and knows that no harm will come to him. He was suspicious at that –and slightly relieved, it is the –best- 'morning-after-the-Full-Moon' he has ever had after all, 'even though it is the most dangerous.' He added with a frown, he didn't see the frown Lee gave as the kid read his thoughts and looked up again, seeing the same smile.
"I am called Lee," Lee reintroduced himself with a half bow and a swing of his left hand to his heart. Remus was afraid he might fall but then was relieved when he saw the kid straighten up again; he frowned though, at the kid's response. "I meant about you're background," Remus seriously thought the kid was amusing himself with him. Strangely, he didn't find himself feeling anything but amusement himself, he tried again. "How a powerful wizard like you, not find himself within the halls of Hogwarts and how you came about to be staying with a pack of wolves?" Remus then had a disturbing thought, "you're not a Werewolf… are you?" he asked hesitantly with a worried look on his face. Somehow, he didn't want to the boy, who was quickly growing on him, to share the same curse.
Lee was silent for a while and Remus was starting to think of the worse but then, he replied. "No, I'm no Werewolf," Remus started to sigh with relief and worry left him but then, "by government standards." Lee finished with a shrug. Remus felt horror fill his system and choked out a "Wha-what?" he asked disbelievingly. He almost felt sick when he heard Lee's reply and with the increasingly familiar grin he first saw on his face.
"I'm a Lycan."

"A-a-a wha-what now?" Remus stuttered out with a disbelievingly shocked faced look as he stared back up at Lee.
"Would you like a moment for yourself?" Lee asked half-mockingly, half-serious. Remus couldn't quiet tell and so just took it as a joke to calm himself down. He didn't want to ruin this morning so stared back at Lee on the branch mockingly glaring at him and said, "Ha-ha, very funny". It seemed to have the desired effect since Lee was now laughing like a half-crazed man. Remus felt ridiculous at that, 'I didn't mean it to be THAT funny' but smiled nevertheless.
Lee looked like he was about to fall down and it scared Remus when he did.
"LEE!" He yelled out and was about to catch him when suddenly a black blur surged beside him. It made him pause and close his eyes, acting like he would in his teenage years. 'Preposterous' Remus thought as he instinctually faced his head at the side, nervily awaiting the sound of a skull cracking, 'I haven't been a teenager in a decade' he finished. When no sound came he opened his eyes and widened when he realized the black blur had been the big scary large black wolf 'with creepy yellow eyes, how appropriate' he thought sarcastically.
Lee was on the back of the large beast, sitting on it as if he was riding a horse –it wasn't as big, but it does look like it can carry two-three times its body weight also, Lee's hands looked as if he were holding reigns with the spear horizontally placed. Remus only blinked at the sight. 'That could make a lovely solid picture, painting even.' Remus thought as he imagined it on Canvas, only Lee wouldn't have the usual silly grin nor smile –like he is now-, but a more serious look and he would be holding the spear on with his left hand with it pointing upwards.
"Like this?" Lee asked as he held up the spear in the position he heard in Remus' thoughts. "Ye— Wait. Wait! Wait! Wait!" Remus said distractedly as he waved both his hands. "We're getting off topic here!" He yelled out frustratingly –he swears that black wolf looked as if he was laughing at him too, but ignores it to concentrate. Lee swung himself down to the ground -as he would on a horse and gave a tilt of his head. Remus continued, wanting to point his finger at him but didn't 'I'm no child' he told himself ignoring, Lee's loud snort –together with the wolf's.
"What do mean by 'I'm a Lycan'?" He asked calmly, heaving a deep breath and continued, "Isn't that the same thing as Werewolf?" he finished, truly curious. He noticed the black wolf give a snort, as if insulted, and gave a curious look to the wolf. 'Huh?' he couldn't help but think.
For some reason, he truly trusted and believed Lee wasn't a person or a Lycan that could easily die and so, in an out-character-kind-of-way he dismissed the thought of the near-possible-death-experience and continued on to other things. In the back of his mind, he imagined poor Mrs. Weasley mourn on the death of his Motherly attribute, he pushed the thought away.
"Now, now," Lee had said mockingly, but not to him, but to the wolf. "We shouldn't judge, black." Lee had called the wolf. 'What an appropriate name' Remus couldn't help but think again. Lee grinned at that, "I know right?" he said smugly. Black gave a sneeze at that. Lee continued as if he didn't hear anything and crossed his arms, he looks as though it was a difficult to think through and Remus patiently waited.
"Hmm…" Lee hummed truly looked troubled in answering which Remus wondered. "I don't really know how to explain it," he said as he hummed again and bent his head to look up at the sky. "Ah!" he gasped as if he had a revelation. "I just remembered," he put up his right hand with his pointer finger up. "Shouldn't you be heading back to the school right now, Professor?" pointing at him with the same finger at the brunette. "Wouldn't people start wondering where you are?" he finished.
As if just realizing it himself, Remus yelled out in disbelief. "I totally forgot!" Panicked at what his students would start to think –are thinking. "I-I-I should go!" and started to run in where he assumes the way back to school. "Ah! Professor!" Lee yelled after him, "Black will guide you back to school! And don't forget to wear shoes!" he shouts out at the running professor, giving the shoes he produced from his back to Black and watched as the large wolf took off in the direction the Professor ran off in the –thankfully- correct path. "Hmmm~… Maybe he doesn't need a guide… but he does need shoes," Lee muttered to himself, amused with the surprisingly comical professor. "May we meet again, Remus 'Professor' Lupin" He finished with a graceful bow with a sweep of his hand.
