Chapter 2-Meeting Remus Lupin

After thoroughly terrifying Dumbledore, Harry moved over to the cute redheaded girl he'd saved and said, "My name is Harry Potter," before kneeling, kissing the back of her hand in a gentlemen like manner, which in turn caused her to light up red and then Harry asked, "And what is your name? Dear lady," turning her burgundy, before stammering, "Gin... Ginn... Ginny We... Weas... Weasley! Thank you for saving me there," as she finished the last part more bravely than before, Harry about to say your welcome, was interrupted by an odd but familiar voice calling, "Harry," causing him to turn around and got engulfed in a bear hug by a man with: sand brown hair, golden yellow eyes and he was wearing: a shabby faded jumper in a deep brown color, minor ripped faded jeans in light brown and worn-out white shoes, his name Remus John Lupin.

As Harry, unnoticed by Remus, was turning blue Arthur said, "Remus let go, he's turning blue," blushing slightly Remus relieved Harry of his tight grip and apologized, "Sorry," waving it off Harry said, "It's okay! But who are you? I don't recognize you," in a questioning tone, sighing Remus introduced him, "Remus Lupin! I was a friend of your parents," then there was a large commotion inside Rons pocket. At that time in Rons pocket, a rat thought to be known as Scabbers, began writhing around to get out and free, as it heard Remus' voice, after jumping out of the pocket, Scabbers made a run for it and then before he got far he was caught in a summoning charm, as Remus had called, "Accio," he was helping Ron retrieve it, once the rat was clamped in his hand, Remus' eyes became as wide as dinner plates, "Wormtail," he muttered, causing the rat to writhe in protest and only confirmed it, so he threw the rat in the air and performed, "Animagus Reverto," then the rat was replaced by the now lump form of Peter Pettigrew, then when Dumbledore noticed, he bellowed, "You idiot Pettigrew, you were supposed to lie in wait, 'til you could revive your master, those were my orders to you, as well as betraying the Potter Family to Voldemort," then he'd stopped as he said to much, 'My plans have crashed and burned,' thought ferociously, before everyone stared at either: Dumbledore (Whom still frozen from the neck down) or the unconcious form of Peter Pettigrew, whom was revealed as the betrayer and possible murderer, but the Aurors snapped out of their ravine enough to shackle Pettigrew and leave for the ministry.

After 2 minutes, the commotions in Diagon Alley died down and Harry, along with Steven, the Weasleys and Remus, decided that it be faster to collect the supplies as a group, so as Harry held Ginnys hand (that he had already being holding), the Group headed for the bookstore. Now in Flourish and Blotts, Harry paid for the defence book while: Steven and Remus browsed and the Weasleys (sans Ginny) located their books, for their purchases (the Twins also getting extra books with the money they won from bets in the past. [The books are to help with some of their more stubborn of prank inventions.]) And Ginny had been with Harry as she wasn't going to Hogwarts 'til next year, but once Harry had finish he and Ginny joined Steve and Remus in browsing, after a while the Weasley were finished and announced that it was time to leave.

After the remainder of items the Weasleys need, they all got ready to leave when Harry notice that they had not gone to any of the wand shops and voice, "Mrs. Weasley why didn't we go to a wand shop?" Molly had turned to him saying, "But Harry dear, you've already got a wand!" pointing out the exposed holster on his arm, then Harry elaborated, "I meant for Ron," but before Molly could answer, Ron retrieved a slightly damaged wand from his pocket and said, "We don't have much money, so we use family wands and then buy one once we have a good job," Harry shook his head saying, "You'll never get a well paying position with test scores you'll receive with a wand that hasn't chosen you," before thinking it over, Harry grasped Ron arm at the wrist and said, "Come on," dragging him up the stairs of the local pub, despite all protest from Ron. 10 minutes later Ron and Harry returned downstairs, with Ron saying, "Thanks mate, that's cool learning how to make your own wand," Harry accepted the thanks and then Ron flourished his newly built wand, causing red, gold and brown sparks to fly out of the tip, then told his family, "The wood is centaurian willow with the braided core of: Unicorn hair, Pegasus hair and Hippogriff hair," and then Mrs. Weasley thanked Harry, as Ginny asked if he could do that for her school year, next year.

(A/N Rons wand is basically a very thin unicorn horn in shape, also gold in color.)

After having a large group lunch, Harry, Steven and Remus with invites from Harry, left for home and the Weasleys left for the Burrow. As Harry arrived at home, he was immediately bowled over by a black spirit wolf and pet of Nightwolf, "Kiva heel," a voice called, as Nightwolf and Jade entered the room, when Nightwolf cast his eyes on Remus, "Well it looks as though I've gotten another werewolf to cure," to which Remus gaped and stuttered, "But there is no cure," shaking their heads the four remaining, then looked at each other and then Harry said, "That is a common misconception Remus, as not all werewolves had deserve the cure, but you who never let the wolf out for fun, you deserve it and Nightwolf can help you," then he paused and then finished, "Yes I'd identified you as a werewolf, so go and be cured you've earnt it," before Nightwolf gestured to a ritual room.

It was dinnertime; by the time a grateful, younger Remus and a sluggish Nightwolf trudged out of the ritual room with Kiva and a new golden brown wolf trailing behind them. Then after introducing Remus' new wolf spirit known as Goldfang, Remus and Nightwolf sat at the table, while Jade and Harry served their plates of a delicious roast lamb dinner and placed them at each spot, then they respectively ate their dinner, while getting other news of the days proceedings and as dinner progressed to dessert, Raiden showed up and offered Remus a place in the Defenders of Earthrelm, to which the latter agreed and was given a training regiment by Nightwolf, so he could now fully utilize his new powers gained from the ritual and then with Remus staying the night, they all turned in for the night.

2 days after the trip to Diagon Alley, Remus and Harry could be seen sparring, while Remus was dodging the green icicle shaped daggers of Harrys attack, Harry was weaving out of the way of sonic boom induced roars from Remus. Training had been progressing nicely for Remus and when Harry wasn't sparring, he was reading and what he'd found that was interesting was the concept of becoming a Animagus and how it differed to an Animality, but what Harry really enjoyed were the letters he'd receive from the Weasleys (mainly the Twins, Ron and Ginny) and became ecstatic when they said they liked to visit him, so they arranged a portkey and had them transported to the Lin Kuei temple.
