Discovering Friendships

A Diary about me: Remus Lupin

Upon reading the title Hermione’s heart skips a beat. She smiles to

herself, Remus Lupin is the best DADA teacher in the world and she was

reading his diary! “This is so cool.” She said as she kept reading.

Well as you know by now my name is Remus Lupin. I was born in the

1960th circa. My parents are Thomas and Leah Lupin, to my sadness I am

an only child. I was about six years old when, I being the curious one that I

am went into the woods one September day. Well let me start off with the

unpleasant stuff so you don’t get the wrong idea of me being pathetic in the

future, I was chasing a frog (yes a frog) into the woods. It hopped into a

cave. Well as you can guess I am very persistent and willing to do

something when I put my mind to it so I followed him in. (yes stupid I know,

but you can’t blame me for being young and curious.) I heard a howl and

froze with fear. Two bright amber eyes were glowing right in front of me. Not

knowing what else to do I ran. Of course the thing chased after me, I had to

look behind me to see what it was. It was a wolf and not just any wolf this

one was different. It wanted something anything to bite. I kept running and

tripped over a log. I could feel the wolf’s breath on the back of my neck. Its

teeth sank into my right arm and for a moment I couldn’t feel anything,

then pain more excruciating than ever hit my arm. I started to scream, (hey

what would you do?) I yelled and kicked at the wolf, soon I heard voices

coming from the woods. My dad! He came running out with a twelve-gage

and shot at it. The wolf took off running in the opposite direction. As my fat father came running up, face as with as the moon’s rays he told me it would

be alright. But after all the events that happened that night nothing scared

me more than the look on my fathers face when he saw the bite mark.

Well that’s pretty much all the bad things that happened in my childhood

unless you count the seemingly endless painful transformation, and the

screaming and howling and the pure embarrassment of being a social

outcast, that’s pretuch uch it. Well on to the good things in my life shall we…


Hermione turned the page and the picture appears in front of her, she saw

one young boy and one girl standing in the background having a

conversation.


“Hey!” a boy with sandy blond hair turned around and saw a girl with hair

as red as fire running towards him. “Lily!” he yelled. “Remus! How are you?

How was your summer? Did you have fun?” she askedone one breath. Remus

laughed. Trying to answer all of her questions was tough. So he said “Fine,

How are you? My summer was good but I missed you guys and yes I had fun

but it would have been better if you guys were there.” He said with a smile.

Lily blushed. God he’s so handsome when he smiles like that. She thought.

Hermione feels the diary start to shake in her hands and soon she found

herself on the lawn at Hogwarts.

“Oh my God! Are you alright?” said a voice. Hermione opened her eyes.

To see… “Professor Lupin!” she sat up so fast her head started to spin. She

started to fall backwards when two strong arms held her up. She tilted her

head back and smiled sheepishly. “I don’t know about Professor but Remus

will do. How do you know my name anyway?” she blushed, God he looked so

cute, snap out of is Hermione he’s your professor he’s twice as old as you

are! She thought. But now he is the same age a she is. She smiled. “What

are you smiling at?” the sound of Remus’ voice brought her back down to

Earth. “Huh?” she said. Remus threw his head back and laughed. “I said,

what are you smiling at?” “Oh…Nothing, it’s just that Professor Dumbledore

told me all about you.” She said with a smile. Hermione tried to stand up but

fell back on her butt, “Hold on there speedy let us help you up.” He grabbed

her arms and hoisted her to her feet. Her ankle throbbed with pain, “OW!”

she howled with anger, Remus lifted her into his arms and carried her to the
Hospital Wing.
