The Dream and the Letters Part 5
"Dad, please let me in!" Remus Lupin shouted desperatly through the locked door. He was outside on a full moon and a werewolf was runing towards him, his father and mother were locked in their house to save themselves while Remus was stuck outside. His father offended a werewolf the other day by making fun of it's curse, and that night Remus was watching the stars until he saw the werewolf his father offended coming towards him. He ran towards the house and tried to open the door but his father locked it and wouldn't let him in. When Remus pleaded his father to let him inside, his mother and older sister Silvia tried to unlock the door but his father locked them in a closet. Remus turned around and saw that the werewolf was two yards away from him until it pounced on him, biting his arm. Remus yelled in pain as the werewolf's sharp teeth bit into his skin.
Remus opened his eyes and looked around, he was safe inside his room. Remus sat up and looked at the scar he got from the werewolf when he was eight. Remus heard someone knock on his door and come in, it was his mother.
"Morning mum." Remus said as his mother sat at the end of his bed.
"Good morning, Remus." she said beaming as she handed something to Remus, he saw that it was a letter.
"Is that what I think it is?" he asked excited as he took the letter and read it.
"Yes, it is." his mother said proudly, "It's your letter from Hogwarts,"
"I can't believe they're letting me attend due to my problem."
"We should be happy that Albus Dumbledore is the Headmaster now or you wouldn't be able to go."
"But what if some of the kids there make fun of me?" Remus asked looking up from his letter.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Dumbledore will keep it all a secret and I'm sure they'll find a place for you to transform."
"Dad says that being a werewolf is something to be ashamed of."
"Don't listen to your father," said Remus' mother, "It's not your fault that the werewolf bit you, and there's nothing to be ashamed of, being a werewolf or a vampire or anything else is a gift, and you must be happy for that gift."
"How is being a monster that bites people on a full moon a gift?"
"You'll know soon, I just know it. We'll go to Diagon Alley today to get your's and Silvia's things for school."
"Does dad know about my letter yet?"
"No, and I think it's best that we keep it a secret until you both leave, he'll might not allow you to go because of you condition." Remus' mother took the letter from him and started to read the list of thing he'll need for school.
"But what will happen to you when he finds out?" Remus asked concerned, his father was a very violant man and if he, Silvia, or his mother did anything to upset him, he would hurt them badly.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Remus' mother said, but Remus saw a look of concern in her eyes.
"Why can't we just leave him, you know, escape and never come back?"
"Because you know how bad your father is, and he'd be sure to find us and injure us or worse." she stood up and walked towards the door, "You might want o start getting ready, we're leaving to Diagon Alley as soon as your father leaves for work."
