10 Moments - Remus Lupin:

Remus wails as his nose elongates into a snout.

Fur covers his body, his little hands grow into paws.

His mother cries too; he is too young for such pain.


They think he can't hear their whispered conversations

About money and living so secluded, but he hears.

His guilt for being a werewolf is doubled because he's hurting his parents.


Remus can't remember a time when he was normal.

His mother can't speak of it, nor can his father.

It would be comforting to remember those times when he transforms.


Remus waves excitedly to his parents before he boards the train.

For a minute, the struggle to get admitted is forgotten.

He's happy that at last he will have friends.


"Hey, Remus! Where're you going?"

"Er… my grandmother's really sick. I, um, have to go see her."

He hates lying to Sirius, but he can't let anyone know his secret.


"You did WHAT?" Remus screeches. "How? Why?"

With a pop, a stag, dog, and rat replace his friends.

"Isn't it lonely, all by yourself in the Shack?" James asks innocently.


It's all over the Prophet - Sirius Black is in Azkaban.

Prongs and Wormtail are dead, Padfoot was a traitor.

Remus puts down his paper. What has become of the Marauders?


He loves everything about Nymphadora Tonks, from her pink hair to her clumsiness.

But he's a werewolf. She's off-limits.

He hopes she loves him, and he hopes she doesn't.


"You won't be ashamed of your dad being a werewolf, right?"

Baby Teddy laughs, turning his hair purple.

The giggles are a stark contrast to the legislation keeping Remus unemployed.


"Avada Kedavra!" shouts Dolohov.

Remus ducks, but not quickly enough. It hits him in the chest like a punch.

Dora screams as he crumples, lifeless. The last Marauder has fallen.
